A shimmering tower block which will be Vietnam’s tallest building when construction is completed in 2019 has won an international architecture award.

Designed by London-based firm Atkins, the 460m Landmark 81 in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam won the “World’s Best Architecture” prize at the International Property Awards 2017 hosted in London in December.

It also picked up “Best International Residential High-rise Architecture” and “Best Residential High-rise Architecture Asia Pacific.

Ian Milne, Atkins’ design director for the Landmark 81, said,“As Asia’s urbanisation rapidly continues and the urban population emerges, Landmark 81 is a great example to demonstrate the potential for high-rise living. Creating high-quality and convenient vertical living space on limited footprint can be the sustainable and attractive solutions for the region.
