Vann Molyvann House

Vann Molyvann House Vann Molyvann, a pioneering figure in Cambodian modern architecture, designed many of the country’s most iconic buildings during the 1950s and 1960s.

Initiated by BROWN Coffee and HKA & Partners, Vann Molyvann House is a vibrant hub for arts and architecture communities, where ideas are shared, generations connect, and the legacy of a master architect inspires Cambodian future designers. Initiated by the local coffee brand Brown and architecture firm HKA & Partners, the former residence of renowned Cambodian architect Vann Molyvann has been tho

ughtfully transformed into a vibrant hub for Cambodia’s art and architecture community. His house now serves multiple purposes across four levels, each dedicated to celebrating and continuing his legacy:

Ground Floor – Brown Coffee
A welcoming café space designed for meetings, work, and casual gatherings, fostering informal dialogue around architecture and creativity. First Floor – Vann Molyvann Archive & Permanent Exhibition
This floor houses a permanent exhibition dedicated to Molyvann’s life and work. It features archival photographs, original and new architectural drawings, and physical models of three of his most significant projects. The collection highlights his enduring influence on modern architecture in Cambodia as well as Southeast Asia. Second Floor – Architecture Library
In response to limited academic resources in Cambodia, the architecture library provides access to a curated collection on modern and contemporary architecture. It is an open, non-institutional resource center that supports architecture students, emerging professionals, researchers, and the general public, bridging the gap between local academic training and global discourse. Third Floor – Community Event Space
Dedicated to hosting events around art, architecture, and community, this space nurtures dialogue and collaboration within Cambodia’s creative community. In 2026, it will become the venue for a major event program celebrating Vann Molyvann’s legacy and the vitality of Cambodia’s modern architectural heritage.

There’s something powerful about seeing an idea become physical.

In architecture, models are more than just representations, they are a way of testing space, scale, light, material, and experience. They allow ideas that once existed only in sketches and drawings to begin taking form in the real world.

As our shortlisted participants continue developing their proposals, model making becomes an important part of the process, helping communicate concepts, refine details, and bring imagination into something tangible.

We’re excited to witness our shortlisted projects continue coming to life.
