MINH PHUC NGUYEN

Nguyen Phuc Minh is a UK-trained architect and Co-founder of MPN + Partners, an award-winning architectural design consultancy recognised for integrating mindfulness, sustainability, cultural identity, and innovation into every project.

After graduating from the University of Bath, Minh joined Foster + Partners in London, where he spent eight years contributing to landmark projects across Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.

His design philosophy is rooted in Mindfulness and Emptiness—encouraging clarity of thought, the removal of ego and preconceptions, and the pursuit of original, breakthrough ideas. He believes architecture should transcend functionality to become a Work of Art that enriches people's lives while reflecting culture, sustainability, and a strong sense of place.
