About Us
Where Ideas Become Experiences
H2X Studio is a Hanoi-based firm specializing in the design and fit-out of high-end hotel interiors, co-founded by Gia Huy Michael. Operating across the hospitality, resort, restaurant, and private residential sectors, we bring together architects, interior specialists, lead engineers, and 3D design experts under one roof.
Our style is defined by "Refined Luxury": a blend of 70% serenity and timelessness, balanced with 30% Vietnamese craftsmanship—incorporating rattan, bamboo, lacquer, and stone, all shaped by the hands of local artisans.
