Solforest Ecopark

Dewan Architects and Engineers as Architects

By seamlessly integrating gorgeous architecture, cutting-edge sustainable technology, and the surrounding natural environment, Dewan’s Solforest Ecopark is emerging as one of the most innovative community developments in the world. The centerpiece of the 1,194-unit, 129,000-square-meter master planned project is the vertical garden that surrounds the two residential main towers which visually unifies the high-rise development with the lush landscape of Vietnam's greater Hanoi area.

Dewan incorporated the natural environment throughout Solforest Ecopark’s design through private gardened terraces to ensure residents don’t just have stunning views of nature, but are also immersed in it. Solforest Ecopark combines the serenity of countryside living and the modern conveniences of upscale amenities, including a 200 square-meter multipurpose kids’ area, distinct swimming pools for both adults and children, barbecue and private garden, in addition to numerous potential retail and dining opportunities.

Beyond delivering a striking design, the vertical gardens that engulf the 42- and 35 -story buildings deliver a bold and effective solution that elevates the project’s sustainability. The more than one million trees planted for the development provide insulation in the cooler months and shade in the warmer months, while also reducing residents’ reliance on energy-draining heating and cooling systems. To ensure the vertical gardens will thrive, Dewan installed cutting-edge watering systems specifically designed for each balcony depending on the type of plants and the orientation of the space. And to further reduce the project’s ecological impact, Dewan conducted comprehensive, site-specific environmental studies to physically position the development so that it would optimize natural sunlight and wind patterns for further temperature regulation.
