The ‘Everrich 2′ apartments by vietnamese DWP Architects is a housing complex which measures 630,000 square meters, and reaches a height of 37 storeys. In total, there are 3,100 apartment units ranging from 120 to 250 square meters each, with two floors of mixed retail and public space on the ground level. The project aims to be a self-sustaining community in district 7, ho chi minh city, and construction has already begun with approval from local authorities.
In its concept phase the building’s form was influenced a single continuous loop, or a mobius strip. The mammoth structure was softened into the shape of an undulating organic wave, creating different views, sun angles and breeze flows throughout. The final design is still true to the intentions of the original concept, offering various styles of dwelling units and many opportunities for different kinds of glazing and natural landscaping.
DWP’s green strategies, such as precast concrete and maximization of local masonry, are all included in the project. The architects produced a design that maintained good views from all apartments and incorporated a number of sustainable details including natural ventilation, sky gardens, green roofs and lavational shading treatments that will make the building very efficient in terms of energy usage.
