As an oasis in the midst of the concrete city, this building stands out
as an architectural hideout amongst the busy streets of Ho Chi
Minh City.

The building itself is formed of a configuration of 3 towers. The
atrium space is symbolic of a forest being surrounded by 3 tall trees.
The 3 urban trees protect an area which forms the main atrium of
the commercial galleria.

This forms an unexpected urban oasis under the shades of the
trinity of towers.

The trickle of light protruding from the slits between the towers are
reminiscent of the beam of light sipping through the tangle of
branches and leaves.

Urban fabric and harmony with the surrounding.
