 THE RIVER LIFE
OF SA I G O N P E O P L E
While the stage presents to the artist wings that unlock
inspirations, the Saigon River has nurtured an endless
safe haven for inhabitants over the years. It is a place
of harmony, reflecting the light of the glittering past and
the dynamic present in its endless flow

The Story of The Metropole Thu Thiem starts here.

A new CBD is forming in the Eastern side of Saigon River,

opening a new chapter in the symphony of life. The river
is like a mirror in which The Metropole is the reflection
of another D1 - dynamic and active, but newer, greener
and better planned toward the future.

Residents of The Opera Residence today enjoy the

colorful rhythm of life in luxury riverview homes.

The architectural beauty of The Opera Residence is

elegantly posed beyond words. Symbolic of sheet
music, the two towers, Scala and Massimo, represent
the treble and base notes. The state-of-the-art design
is influenced by the dynamic movements within scales
of symphonies, also complementing the meandering
curves of the Saigon River simultaneously.

SYMPH ON Y OF A R CHIT ECT UR E

The Opera Residence is delicately designed with
reflective materials manipulating color and light,
making the building almost invisible when viewed
from a distance. The glass wall design not only takes
advantage of natural light, soundproofing, reduced
heat, but also helps The Opera Residence capture the
colorful movements of moments of the day, the seasons
and the life. Inward facing units taper gently out into the
courtyard, affording views toward the Riverfront; as a
result, 100% of homeowners will experience panoramic
river views.

The rendition of landscape sketches is a collaboration

between nature and the melodies within it.

The movement of musical notes portray an undulating wave

as each runs above and below the rich landscape. The
notes signify the focal nodes that, when played together,
create a harmonious connection between facilities. This
design adds a touch of symphony, providing residents with
a whole new experience when entering.

To fully accommodate homeowners, The Opera

Residence integrates intelligent technology to embellish
daily life and provide for utmost privacy, security and
personal space. After identifying the residents via a
face recognition system in the lobby, it will automatically
call the lift to usher them to their apartment’s door and
continue to welcome you with a secure and convenient
fingerprint identification system.

Inside the home are also automated technologies that

enhance the interior wellness. A smart shower system
with a combination of 4 water modes, music and light
integrated in the apartment to simulate a fashionable
home spa.

 SMART INTERIOR
At The Opera Residence, the application of 4.0
technology in interior design and amenities brings a
newer and more unique life experience than what you
have ever known. It is a completely “touchless” journey
from the lobby to your door, with a comprehensive
biometric identification system.

The central air purification makes sure your apartment

atmosphere is “dustless” 24/7. The international HEPA
purification system (featuring three layers of coarse dust
filter, deodorizing, and most importantly antibacterial
and micro dust filters) can remove any indoor and
outdoor polluted particles and release 100% fresh,
clean air.

To add to the “dustless” atmosphere, the sleek

designed, smart cleaning technology, AirDresser, is
featured in the master wardrobe. The AirDresser uses
powerful air and steam to remove dust and germs,
refreshing and sanitizing your bespoke garments easily
and conveniently.

Elegant, sophisticated, convenient and relaxing are

what the smart interiors at The Opera Residence bring
to its deserving owners.

Every expressive artist possesses a connection to their instrument. A
percussionist treasures every key to his piano. Picking her strings, she
skillfully decides which note to play on her harp.

These instruments are also the prime necessity for The Opera
