The Vietnamese hotel industry is well and truly starting to embrace the wonders of green architecture, and no facility exemplifies this shift quite like the Chicland, a vegetation-sheathed building that is set to be located in the coastal area of Da Nang in Vietnam.
The Chicland hotel is based on a lean, 72-meter tower, three sides of which will be completely covered in lush vegetation. In addition to offering an aesthetically pleasing touch to the building, the plants were also carefully chosen in order to allow for light to be gently let into hotel rooms and balconies.
Set to be completed in early 2019, this Vietnamese hotel is set to provide an eco-friendly and elegant experience to guests who wish to shelter in its greenery-sheathed rooms.
