There are 3 caf\u00e9s in the Okkio chain in Saigon. Each of them has a distinctive look, but <\/span>Okkio Duy T\u00e2n is a unique mix of modernity and classic style.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Hidden in a small alley in Nguy\u1ec5n Ng\u1ecdc Th\u1ea1ch Street, District 1, Okkio Duy T\u00e2n comprises two main sections: an Indochine villa and a modern building. <\/span><\/p>\n

At the front of the compound sits an old little villa possibly built during the colonial period. Its Indochine architecture is <\/span>recognisable<\/span> for its symmetrical triangle dragon-scale tile roof, a corridor, and many wooden jalousie windows.<\/p>\n

Hanging lightbulbs also <\/span>highlight<\/span> the high ceiling, a signature of Indochine architecture.<\/span><\/p>\n

Connected with the villa by a curved glass hallway, the modern area at the back of the compound gives off a strong Bauhaus impression, using an extremely simple design with industrial materials.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This area is surrounded by glass, illuminating the space with natural light. Even the chairs and tables are of Bauhaus style.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

It has speciality coffee and delicious drinks<\/h3>\n
