Inspired by vertical forest architecture, this green “jungle” building was designed and play host to more than 75.000 plants of all types, including shrubs, vines, colorful flowers and even trees with big trunk. They spill out from irregularly placed balconies and crawl up the structures’ sides up to 100 meters height as well as forming 188 of Babylon hanging gardens. The 11 story building consits of 181 sky villas with luxury interior and complex of superior services and entertainment. Along with advanced technologies, local materials are fully utilized in building’s construction which pioneers a new standard of sustainable and eco-friendly architecture. Adobe brick, a mixture of cement powder and wood pulp, and eco-friendly cellular lightweight concrete blocks were largely used. They are local materials which are less likely to have adverse impacts on environment. Other solutions applied in the project were use of local wood for interior and concrete made on site.

In additional, Forest In The Sky is designed to use laminated/tempered glass systems in combination of both roof and wall glazing to maximize natural daylight, therefore reducing the need for electric lighting during daytime. The reduction of wall window ratio, using reflective paint for exterior walls and insulation of roofs and exterior walls also contribute to reduce energy usage. The wastewater treatment system (100% of domestic wastewater are processed and reused for irrigation and flush toilet, further nurturing the greeneries itself);With sustainability approach above, the building has earned EDGE Advanced, a green building certification, due to its ability to cut down 42% on energy, 22% on water, and 36% on construction materials used, establishing a world-renowned reputation as a truly green landmark inside and out.

All balconies are covered with greeneries combined with bamboo floors and wide glass walls to both catch the sun, enjoy natural fresh air and efface the separation between indoor and outdoor space. The project’s purpose is to create the peaceful harmonious coexistence between mankind and nature.“ The project desires to create a luxurious and friendly resort space, evoking a green architectural model for Vietnamese villages, helping to stabilize people’s lives that base on the basis of inheritance, promoting local cultutral quintessence in the context of urban boom and market economy.
