The acclaimed architectural design studio ICE is raising the bar higher in innovative architectural designing. Partnered with Trinity and Associates, ICE architects have designed an architectural marvel named “DC6,” intended to be constructed near Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam. This architectural marvel is the resultant design of a second-place winner’s ideas in an international structural design competition. DC6 is planned to be a multi-development zone with residential and serviced apartments, and also includes commercial space with in-house recreational facilities, such that it is a city within a city.
Spreading to a mammoth 330,000 square meters, this vast and extensive monolithic facility comprises of towers that have a street level robustic podium, which has all facilities from shopping complexes, to office space. And, if you were think DC6 is just a stupendous building comprising of spiraling towers, you would be wrong, as the base of the structure is landscaped with gardens that blend into a serene environment and lead into a scenic resort surrounded by a beach.
For all those cynics who may wonder as to how these spiral towers are built to enable privacy, solid and sound architectural designing that wouldn’t plunge under its weight, well, that is the USP of the DC6, the towers are separated and spiraled and placed at angles that would provide adequate privacy and security to the residents. DC6 defines “art in motion,” as it is a structure that is taking urban developments to the next level. ICE with Trinity and Associates have proven that nothing is impossible with this solid structure depicted as an art that is fluid, free-flowing and spiraling to the skies!
