Golden Hills Masterplan by SOM


Architects Skidmore, Owings & Merrill have produced these images to illustrate their masterplan for a 375 hectare site in Danang, Vietnam, that is prone to frequent flooding. 
Located at the mouth of the CU De River, Golden Hills will be set onto a series of terraced levels across the site and will preserve existing natural drainage channels in order to minimise the impact of sea level rises and tidal flooding. 
Designed to accommodate over 30,000 future residents, the masterplan includes different housing types, sports and leisure areas, local shops and cafes, schools and kindergartens, a business district and healthcare facilities, including a hospital.
