From Design to Home | Phu Cuong Home Đông Hưng Thuận Officially Opens 776 Apartments in Ho Chi Minh City
On 15 August 2026, Phu Cuong Home Đông Hưng Thuận was officially inaugurated in Ho Chi Minh City, bringing 776 apartments into use for officers and personnel of the People’s Public Security force. For OasisConcept, the milestone is also an opportunity to look back at the part of the project journey in which the firm was involved: from preparing the 1/500 detailed plan to designing the low-rise apartment block.
A milestone on the path to secure housing
Phu Cuong Home Đông Hưng Thuận was inaugurated on 15 August 2026 in Đông Hưng Thuận Ward, Ho Chi Minh City. According to information released at the event, the project comprises 776 apartments in two 19-storey blocks with one basement level, serving the housing needs of approximately 2,075 officers and personnel of the People’s Public Security force. The development was reported as completed after 372 days of implementation, nearly seven months ahead of the approved schedule.
Beyond the figures for scale and delivery, the significance of the milestone lies in the moment when a construction project begins to become lived reality: apartments are occupied, families establish new daily routines, and a residential community gradually takes shape.
Urban context: connecting the project to the city structure
In OasisConcept’s project documentation, the site is considered in relation to Trường Chinh, Nguyễn Văn Quá and Song Hành roads, the Tham Lương Canal corridor, Tân Sơn Nhất International Airport, and planned public transport infrastructure including Tham Lương Depot and Metro Line 2, Tham Lương - Bến Thành. Reading the site at the city scale helps position the project not simply as an isolated housing development, but as part of a highly connected urban area.

At the local scale, the documentation further identifies access via Nguyễn Văn Quá - Song Hành - the Tham Lương Canal corridor, together with nearby schools, services, healthcare facilities and transport infrastructure. Administrative place names shown on the diagram reflect the 2025 project file; for publication in 2026, the current address should be stated as “Đông Hưng Thuận Ward, Ho Chi Minh City.”

OasisConcept’s role: from 1/500 detailed planning to low-rise architecture
OasisConcept participated in preparing the project’s 1/500 detailed plan and designed the low-rise apartment block. These two workstreams allowed the project to be considered at two distinct scales: the overall spatial structure of the site and the architectural resolution of a specific building component.
Within the master plan adjustment, the documentation records that Zone I updated the locations of technical facilities and outdoor parking, together with planning and architectural indicators aligned with the approved technical design and building permit. For Zone II, the land-use approach was adjusted from low-rise townhouses to a low-rise apartment building, with an additional basement parking level; the documentation also states that these adjustments did not change the population, building height or floor-area ratio.

DOCUMENT QC NOTE: The master plan adjustment slide describes Zone II as “2 storeys + 1 basement,” while the later detailed architectural proposal states “3 storeys (excluding basement and rooftop enclosure) + 1 basement.” English v04 preserves both source statements and uses the three-storey figure only in the technical description because it comes from the detailed architectural parameters. Before publishing a storey count publicly, cross-check the final approved / construction documentation. |

The low-rise block: another spatial layer within the overall development
In the detailed architectural proposal, the low-rise apartment building is arranged as a linear block along Bờ Kênh Road. The architectural documentation shows three storeys, excluding the basement and rooftop enclosure, one basement level, and a maximum building height of 14.4 m.
The proposal contains 26 apartments on a planning-compliant land area of approximately 2,257.19 m² after deduction of the new road boundary. The building footprint is approximately 1,692.89 m², with 75% site coverage, a planned population of 104 people and a basement floor area of approximately 2,116 m². The unit mix comprises 12 one-bedroom apartments and 14 two-bedroom apartments across types A1, B1, B2 and B3 in the project documentation.
From plan organisation to architectural form
The ground-floor plan shows an elongated building form aligned with the road, with spaces organised sequentially within a low-rise typology. The elevations and section clarify the three-storey scale, roof structure, basement level and the relationship between the building datum and the sidewalk.

Architectural language: simple, contemporary and harmonious
The documentation defines the low-rise block through a simple, contemporary architectural language intended to sit harmoniously with the high-rise apartment buildings in Zone I and the surrounding built context. The primary colour palette is light white-grey, while the principal materials are described as brick masonry walls and glazed framing.
The perspectives show a composition of structural bays, covered edges and architectural frames that add depth to the façade, while the ground level is presented with a more open relationship to the external approach space. This is an interpretation of the design imagery; the documentation does not provide quantitative evidence to support claims such as “healing architecture,” “microclimate optimisation” or “energy restoration,” so these terms are intentionally excluded from the News article.

From Design to Home
The inauguration on 15 August 2026 marks a milestone for the wider Phu Cuong Home Đông Hưng Thuận project. For OasisConcept, it is also an opportunity to reflect on how planning and architectural work sits within a longer sequence: reading the urban context, organising the site framework, developing the building proposal, and ultimately reaching the point when a housing development begins to be lived in.
“The value of a housing project does not end when the drawings are complete. It begins to be tested when architecture becomes part of everyday life.”
OasisConcept warmly congratulates Phu Cuong Group, the Ministry of Public Security, relevant authorities, contractors, consultants, engineers, workers and the entire project team who contributed to bringing the development to this milestone.
