Design Approach
All necessary conveniences are integrated in the walking distance of Le Thanh Building, promoting the communication between tenants and local community. A variety of trading servies launched on the groundfloor offers tenants multi-choices. Natural air ventilations and lighting are well designed. The water ponds can cool the air around the building.
The arrangement of elevators in the middle of the building is to increase contact area between the apartments and outdoor environment, providing apartments with natural air and daylight. Furthermore, this arrangement creates menicus and empty zones to catch winds frome the Southwest. Water ponds in- and outside the building enable the cool and fresk air to flow around the building. The disadvantage of the building is the longer sides facing directly the East and the West. Therefore, some apartments on that side have to suffer solar heat.

Lessons Learned
n.a.
Most tenants are happy when living in the building. The living space is big enough and has nice view. The building has good air ventilation and various public services. Howerver, the noise insulation from apartments should be improved
The living condions are assessed as good and convenient. However, there are some problems such as noise insulation from apartments that must be improved. Kitchen near the entrance is not a good placement and furnitures are so bad. There are less green spaces for tenants to take excercises
