Main Architecture and Design Butterfly Tower: Feel Like in Paradise

Nha Trang on the coast of the South China Sea is one of the most popular resorts in Vietnam. The temperature in summer and winter kept at 22-28 ˚С and the sea temperature – 26-29 ˚С. Excellent public sandy beaches, sightseeing attractions and different recreational infrastructure allure travelers from all round the world. It is not surprising that tourism is an industry, which determines the economy of the city. There are many excellent hotels and modern residential buildings with sought-after apartments. Such as “Butterfly Tower”, the center of a residential complex “Butterfly”, situated in the new district U-Sea City.

The Butterfly Tower is a 19-storey high-rise building with 589 serviced apartments. The green Mix Use podium accommodate shops, restaurants, bars, cafes and parking in the basement. The project is located at the top of “U-Sea City” urban development and should be ready by 2016. “U-Sea City” is a district near the center of the coastal city of Nha Trang. The plot, between the river delta and the sea, is cut through by a meandering network of development, reminiscent of a river course branching out. The master plan was designed by Franken Architekten in 2009, the entire construction of the infrastructure has been completed.   

The floor plan figure is justified by the functional requirement by as many apartments with sea views and the resulting butterfly shape is inspiration for the in Vietnam very auspicious metaphor of naming. The wave-shaped contour of the balcony railing also results from the optimization of the relationship with the sea view. 

The glossy facade referenced to the color match of shimmering butterfly wings and accentuates effectively by the golden light bands of at night illuminated balustrades the horizontal structure of the reflective facade. On the top floor is a public restaurant, bar and pool with spectacular views over the Bay of Nha Trang.
