PTW architects: city gardens


'city gardens'

'city gardens', an architectural project set in the parklands of ho chi minh city, vietnam
is designed  by australian firm PTW architects. it is a large residential development
comprising of seven sculpted towers of varying heights.  this 127,500 m2 complex
provides 926 apartments with access to various tenant amenities. the living options
vary between one, two to three bedroom apartment units, ideal for young professionals
and growing families.



the three tallest towers are approximately 110m high offering extensive view out from
its balconies. the curvilinear facade derives its influence from the rolling hillsides of
rice plantations found in  rural vietnam.

as implied by its name, this inner city gated community with its 17,500m2 garden area
offers a tranquil sanctuary away from the surrounding hustle and bustle of the city's
business center.

'city gardens' is set to be completed in this year.
