ICE or Ideas for Contemporary Environment in collaboration with Trinity have recently won a second prize in an international invited competition for its latest project DC6. DC6 or the Dragon City, in Vung Tau, Vietnam, will lie close to the beach, which will make it an ideal location for a resort. Wealthy oil city, luxurious housing, hotel and time share apartments are the driving force of the property market aided with the fact that Vung Tau is a popular seafront resort for the city of Ho Chi Minh. Since a high density mixed use seafront resort near Ho Chi Minh City, the design of DC6 intend to take full advantage of the programs on the site by introducing a mix of time share, residential units, hotel, commercial and recreational spaces.

Street level podium supports the towers, thereby incorporating resort facilities, shopping and food and beverage outlets.
