To maximize the river view of the units, a unique tri-star shape was adopted for the tower. The design was also inspired by the traditional Vietnamese landscape of rice terraces

A large river, a favorite among Vietnamese people, flows on the east side of the site, and the plan made the most of this location, aiming for a soft-looking facade that blends in with the lush greenery of the street trees.

Inspiration Behind Our Design

Our design approach begins with nature, culture, and the way people live.

Optimize the layout to expand the view of the lake and reduce the western exposure.

Initially, the layout limited the view of the lake. By rearranging the building structure to be more flexible, we can enhance the lake view and green spaces while also reducing the number of west-facing units.

KAIZEN in How We Design

A unique “hot spring facility” is planned for the common area, incorporating Japanese hot spring design know-how to create a safe and secure hot spring facility.

Purpose: It is open to use not only by local residents but also by neighboring residents, making it a symbolic shared facility for the entire township that is loved by local residents.

At the time of planning, deaths caused by Legionella bacteria in a hot spring facility in Japan shocked the nation.


In response, Nomura Real Estate Vietnam implemented the following measures in its hot spring project at Ecopark to ensure a safe and secure environment:

In response, Nomura Real Estate Vietnam implemented the following measures in its hot spring project at Ecopark to ensure a safe and secure environment:

Temperature control


To suppress the proliferation of Legionella bacteria, the hot water is maintained at a temperature above 60°C—at which the bacteria are effectively eliminated—and is mixed with water at the point of use.

Circulation system


The design eliminates dead-end sections within the bathtubs, ensuring that all water is continuously circulated and does not stagnate.

Design for ease of cleaning and maintenance


The facilities and bathtubs are designed to allow for simple and efficient cleaning and maintenance operations.
