Decoding Column-Free Design & Raised Floor: Optimizing Fit-Out Costs at Oriental Square

Project News

2026.03.13

For Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) and Administrative Managersfit-out costs and space efficiency (Efficiency Ratio) are always top priorities when selecting an office building.

At Oriental Square, these concerns are addressed through a practical and forward-thinking design approach: Column-free floor plates and a Raised Floor system.

Column-Free Design: Maximizing Usable Space

Most older office buildings in Hanoi feature large concrete columns positioned in the middle of the floor plate, creating “dead spaces” that reduce layout flexibility.

Oriental Square utilizes a large-span structural system, pushing columns toward the building perimeter.

Result:
A clean, square and uninterrupted floor plate.

Benefits:

  • Companies avoid paying rent for unusable space.

     
  • Greater flexibility in designing open-plan offices or dividing departments into smaller functional zones.

     

“Office fit-out costs in Vietnam are increasing. Choosing buildings with efficient floor plates, pre-installed ceilings, raised floors, and well-prepared technical systems can help tenants save between 15% and 25% of their initial investment costs.”
