    Returning to Hong Kong after 30 years — where my engineering journey began

    Thirty years later, I found myself once again standing in Hong Kong — the city where my professional journey as a civil engineer truly began. In the 1990s, I often visited Hong Kong while working across China on major infrastructure projects. Back then, it was my bridge between East and West — a city of contrasts, innovation, and vision.

    Coming back after three decades wasn’t just a visit; it was a reconnection with my younger self — the one who believed that great structures begin with great purpose.

    Building with Purpose – Founder and Mentor

    Today, I am the Founder of Keindl Bau and a mentor to young engineers. I believe buildings are living systems — they breathe, react, and evolve. Every structure carries a story, shaped by material, climate, and time. My mission is to build responsibly and guide others to see beyond the surface.

    Seeing the Invisible – My Work as a Certified Thermographer

    Seeing the world through the thermal lens — precision, perception, and passion.

    As a certified thermographer, I literally look at the world through a different lens — a thermal camera. Infrared reveals what the naked eye cannot see: hidden moisture, heat bridges, and energy loss. For me, thermography is more than technology; it’s a way of understanding how everything — from buildings to people — radiates its own energy and story.

    Travel, Blog & TikTok

    Beyond engineering, I explore cities and structures across the world. Through my travel blog, I share reflections where architecture meets emotion, and structure meets soul.

    Hong Kong Architecture — A Professional and Personal Reflection

    By Vanja Keindl

    Hong Kong has fascinated me for decades. As a civil engineer who worked in China thirty years ago and visited the city seven times, I now observe it through both a personal and professional lens. The city combines precision, dynamism, and creativity in every skyscraper — its vertical development makes it one of a kind in the world.

    Vanja Keindl: Professional and Personal Perspective

    As an engineer, I’m fascinated by how Hong Kong functions as a living system — where transport, construction, energy, and people move in perfect rhythm. Each new building reflects precision and thoughtful design. Returning after three decades allows me to see both the evolution of the skyline and the persistence of its unique energy.

    Reflection: Architecture and Urban Identity by Civil Engineer

    Today, I see the city differently. Back then, I was searching for solutions — now, I understand the system that creates them. Hong Kong’s architecture remains my favorite focus because it represents the intersection of technical precision and human persistence — a balance that continues to inspire me both as an engineer and as a traveler.

  • Vanja Keindl: Luksuz u Vijetnamu?

    Vanja Keindl: Luksuz u Vijetnamu?

    Vanja Keindl: Obala središnjeg Vijetnama

    Vijetnam možda nije prva destinacija koja pada na pamet kada se spomene luksuz, ali obalni resorti iznenađuju kombinacijom raskoši i jednostavnosti.

    Kao što sam najavila u prošlom postu, sada dodajem malo lijepih fotografija, uz koje možemo zaboraviti sve o čemu sam do sada pisala.

    Poznato je, naime- među iskusnim putnicima- kada se ide tamo, ide se u lijepi smještaj. (luksuzni resort uz obalu.)

    More koje miriše na slobodu

    "vanja keindl-vijetnam"
    Vanja Keindl: plaža u Vijetnamu

    More je ovdje više od pejzaža – ono diktira ritam dana. Ujutro nježno, podne donosi energiju, a navečer se pretvara u zrcalo boja. Luksuz nije samo u ležaljkama na bijelom pijesku, nego i u osjećaju da vrijeme staje.

    Kultura i srdačnost


    Iza sjajnih fasada resorta krije se ono što luksuz u Vijetnamu čini posebnim – osmijeh domaćina. Usluga je pažljiva, međutim nikad nametljiva. Gost se tamo uistinu osjeća kao dio priče.

    Međutim, pravi luksuz nije u pet zvjezdica iznad ulaza, nego u pet trenutaka koje ponesete sa sobom – tišina ujutro uz more, miris jela koje nikad prije niste probali, osmijeh koji prelomi dan, osjećaj da ste negdje potpuno prisutni, kao i spoznaja da vam za sreću treba manje nego što ste mislili.
