Lumi Hanoi – Best High-End Condo Development (Hanoi), Best High-End Condo Architectural Design and Best Condo Landscape Design

Lumi Hanoi is designed by renowned French architect Jean-François Milou of Studio Milou, who is also behind the designs of multiple award-winning projects such as the National Gallery of Singapore and National Theatre Centre in Saint Etienne, France.  Recently, Studio Milou ranked first in the architectural design contest for the Ho Chi Minh City Opera House in Thu Thiem, Thu Duc City.  Lumi Hanoi is Jean-François Milou’s first residential project in Vietnam. 

Inspired by “lumière”, the French word for light, Lumi Hanoi is conceptualised to embody the radiance and warmth of the sun, the source of life and a symbol of positivity.  This “city of lights” concept underpins the different parts that make up this masterplan – a sustainable community that harmonises the well-being of its residents, the beauty of nature, and the power of technology to become a beacon of Hanoi’s bright future.  The architecture and landscape of Lumi Hanoi follow this light inspiration, with the façade of the different towers thoughtfully curated to break the monotony and provide visual delight, while the landscape is themed after celestial elements such as sole, aurora and stella.

Lumi Hanoi consists of about 4,000 units across nine towers that range from 29 to 35 storeys.  The project will be developed in phases and will offer a wide selection of unit types, ranging from 42 square metres (sq m) for a one-bedroom unit to 135 sq m for a four-bedroom unit.  There are also duplex units and penthouses ranging from 115 sq m to 410 sq m in size.
