Why do I love The River Thu Thiem?

The River Thu Thiem gave me a unique resort experience in the heart of vibrant Sai Gon. The elegant design somehow comes alive in the tropical sun, while at night, the project transforms into shimmering elegance.

The developer behind this architectural marvel is Refico. While their reputation was earned from outstanding projects such as City Garden, Sanctuary Ho Tram and President Place; The River Thu Thiem sees ambition at another level. Spectacular design with seamless livability is clearly what Refico do so well. City Garden’s green and natural landscapes, build and service quality are already highly appreciated by its residents. Experience and attention to detail has The River Thu Thiem even more attuned to resident needs and expectations.

Dream Location

The River Thu Thiem is one of the few projects with direct Sai Gon River frontage on ring road 1 in Thu Thiem. Stunning views, a highly accessible central location and the official sales permit from HCMC Construction Department has seen The River Thu Thiem become a ‘honey pot’ for investors. The sales permit provides legal transparency with investment security. Meticulous project planning having The River Thu Thiem officially available for sales in July is further underlined by the strategic partnership with Swire Properties of Hong Kong.

Waltz by the Water

Of the many world class hotel and resort project consultants utilized in the project, there was one Vietnamese company involved: ASA Lighting Design Studios. This leading design practice from HCMC has illuminated The River Thu Thiem in more ways than one. Good lighting design is key to adding dimension and bringing design alive throughout the day – and night. The feeling of “quiet luxury” at The River Thu Thiem is extraordinarily complemented by this clever multi-dimensional discipline. ASA creative director, Mr. Tran Van Thanh, said. “The major design inspiration was the project’s unique name being influenced by the Sai Gon River. Water develops feelings of calm, relaxation, freedom, or becomes quickly dramatic, to calmly subside - like a dance. We wanted to deliver an engaging waltz of harmonious sensation and warm emotions by the river.”

Luxury interior of the apartment

The lighting design provides a pleasant and welcoming feel with each functional area having its own clear yet complementing style. Subliminally experiencing harmony in this way nurtures feelings of wellbeing, security and belonging. The Club House and swimming pools use carefully layered light to achieve a sense of joy and vibrancy. Green landscaped areas enhanced by up lighting transform nature into magical sculptures, while in private gardens and BBQ areas, lighting allows feelings of calm in gently secluded retreats. However, in the kids’ playground where safety is priority, the smart approach ensures parents can easily supervise their children without anyone suffering from overly bright glare. ASA lighting have taken a beautiful project to the next level of immersive experience without missing a beat.

However much I describe the warm and deeply satisfying feelings the The River Thu Thiem gave me, it’s really best to appreciate the full project experience yourself. Enjoy your own symphony of emotion while imagining a ‘waltz by the water’ at The River Thu Thiem. This is the most delightful project in Sai Gon. A city centre resort in one of the most vibrant cities in Asia.
