VTN Architects also nabbed two BLT (Build Design Awards) in 2021. The firm was recognized as the Jury's Favorite in the "Architectural Design - Hospitality" category for its secluded Castaway Island Resort on Cát Bà Island and the "Architectural Design - Residential" category for the Stepping Park House in Saigon. The awards factor in criteria such as creativity, ethical behavior, social responsibility, innovation and boldness.
