金融塔项目位于胡志明市中心，西贡河畔，包括一栋68层的办公大楼和一个购物中心。金融塔被水景包围，其轮廓像一朵莲花。门内的直升机平台外伸25米，像一片花瓣。造型由复杂的几何形状组成，倾斜的圆柱体在外立面处收回，玻璃模块呈曲线形并分段设置。在夜间，白色灯光可以凸显其雕塑般的质感，突出了垂直的叶子、平台的底部和塔顶。

咖啡馆设有室外露台和花岗岩长椅，与树木一道点缀着广场。这栋建筑座落在西贡河畔市中心地区的三条街道的交界处，即Hai Trieu街、 Ho Tung Mau街和Ngo Duc Ke 街。

项目设有三层地下停车场、一个位于五楼的零售平台和一个有盖的中庭，顶部是办公区。顶部18层设有全景餐厅、VIP酒吧和13层贵宾办公空间。

办公室用双人间电梯通过呼叫分组系统进行管理，以最大限度地缩短电梯等待时间。直达电梯服务将地面与公共VIP楼层相联系，公共VIP层与第50层的平台组合在一起，公众可在此参观，欣赏城市及河流的独特景观。

技术设施位于第29层、第30层和顶层。位于购物中心下方的技术楼层用于放置冷却塔，设在若干地下室楼层的技术楼层用于放置发电机、加热油和水箱。

项目力求现代和传统之间达到一种平衡。塔的设计突出了高度现代化的建筑形象。立面使用木百叶窗实现遮阳，通过材料选择和图案设计，呼应了越南传统编织艺术中对天然材料的组合使用。塔周围的百叶窗尺寸不一，由不锈钢水平叶片和杆组成。核心部分密度较大，采用白色丝网印刷技术以便于区分上升的垂直叶片。

该项目由一个国际化团队负责推进，旨在创建一座旗舰建筑，成为未来越南高层建筑的基准。

Located in downtown Ho Chi Minh city, near the Saigon River, the programme includes a 68-storey office building with a shopping mall in its base. The outline of the tower, which is surrounded by a water feature,is reminiscent of a lotus flower. The platform of helicopters in door with forgery of 25 m reminds a petal of flower. The shape consists of a complex geometry, oblique cylinders taken back in facade with glass modules in curve and segmented. Its plastic aspect is strengthened at night by a white lighting which emphasizes the vertical leaf, the soffite of the platform and the pinnacle of the tower.

Cafés with outdoor terraces, granite benches and trees dot the esplanade. The building is located at the intersection of three thoroughfares: Hai Trieu, Ho Tung Mau and Ngo Duc Ke streets, near the Saigon river right in the city centre.

The programme features three levels of basement parking, a retail podium on five floors and a covered atrium, topped off by the office block. The top 18 floors have a panoramic restaurant, a VIP bar, and 13 floors of prestige office space.

Elevators with double cabins serving officesare managed by a system of grouping of call to minimize the waiting times. An express service connects the ground with the public VIP levels grouped with the platform situated in the 50th floor. They offer to the general public a visit and a unique view on the city and its river.Technical facilities are located on the 29th and 30th floors and at the very top. Technical floor space has also been created beneath the shopping mall to house the cooling towers, and on several basement levels to house generators, heating oil and water tanks.

The programme observes a careful balance between modernity and tradition. The tower’s design projects a highly contemporary image. The use of wood shutters acting as sun screens on the façade echoes the traditional arts of weaving and assembling natural products through the choice of materials and their patterning. These shutters, the size of which varies around the tower, are constituted by horizontal blades and stalks in stainless steel. They are denser in the heart, indicated by a white screenprinting which allows to differentiate the vertical leaf in rise.

A future benchmark for high-rise construction in Vietnam, the project is being taken forward by an international team, intent on creating a flagship building.
