Dai Phuoc Lotus, Dong Nai, Vietnam

Located on the outskirts of Ho Chi Minh City, Dai Phuoc Lotus is home to residential and commercial developments, including luxury-styled villas and a marina.

Pentago provided the landscape design for the island, along with the initial display villas and clubhouse. The approach to the landscape was twofold: to create a timeless, modern tropical landscape accessible to people of all ages, and to portray quintessential Vietnamese Culture using modern Vietnamese design and motifs to create an identity for the development. In an effort to showcase the theming of the estate and market it effectively, the view line from the entry was directed toward the show units instead of the adjacent undeveloped land.

The softscape was defined through the careful selection of local plants and signature trees. Water bodies, pavilions, open decks and open lawns are scattered strategically throughout.
