What Characterizes Ha Long Villa?

To start off this amazing architectural dream building, there are big rectangular openings dotting the concrete facade of Ha Long Villa by Vo Trong Nghia Architects, and each one contains a tree.

But hold on, not only do trees crash into the center of the building, but the lucky residents have a permanent view of a tree garden basically. How cool is that? Trees, trees, trees, everywhere!

A Building With Lots of Trees That Is Also Sustainable

The most harmonious blend ever exists in this Ha Long Villa. The uniquely green design they have created was also thought to be a sustainable space where residents could make a generous daily input towards making the world a better one.
