Mission
1/2000

Retaining the existing mangrove landscape, with the concept of a natural landscape like 2 green lungs providing an ecological environment for the tourist area
Different areas of sightseeing villages are formed, with buildings suitable for the ecology and characteristics of the land.
The project and programs are linked through the main traffic route and the secondary ring road, easily accessible
With the idea of a recreational center lake in the middle of area, it bringing people closer to nature in combination with recreational activities. The water surface is still retained with the current flows, creating a boat tour to see different landscapes

Located in the ecological area and the mangrove area that needs conservation, the project should only be built with low density
The design of buildings that blend in with the nature of the area by using roof language, such as boats during the Ngu Ong festival in Can Gio, is reminiscent of culture. At the same time, this design also creates different gaps, giving visitors an interesting view to the forest outside.
