David Leschinski Ivanov, Arquitecto.

After six rewarding years, I have recently completed my journey with Kume Design Asia in Ho Chi Minh City.
When I joined, the office was around 20 people. Today the team has grown to more than 80 talented professionals. It has been a privilege to contribute to that journey and to work alongside many great colleagues and partners.
I am grateful for the experiences, the projects, and the people I met along the way. I leave proud of what we built together and confident that the company will continue to grow and succeed.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of this chapter.

Thank you SJ Group for hosting me at Vista Concert #1, The Art of Architecture.
A pleasure to represent Kume Design Asia, share stories from Spain, and discuss how Mediterranean ideas can fit Vietnam with comfort, harmony, and human scale.

Last night was special. We brought home the VMARK Vietnam Design Award 2025, Golden Award with the Best Hospitality Design, for the Marriott Binh Tien 6-Star Resort.

This project grew from a simple belief: architecture should breathe with the landscape, carry the warmth of light, and honor the spirit of the place. Thank you, KUME Design Asia teammates, collaborators, and the VMARK / VDAS community for recognizing that vision, where creativity, heritage, and sustainability meet.

Grateful, energized, and ready for what’s next.

Honored to receive the International Award for Best Hotel Architecture in Vietnam for Novotel Phan Thiet at the Asia Pacific Property Awards 2025–2026, and to be invited as one of the panel speakers to discuss the future of hospitality design across Asia.

Grateful for the amazing people I met, the conversations shared, and the recognition of a project that means a lot to our team at KUME Design Asia. A truly inspiring experience to be part of this three-day event in Bangkok.
