For the first time, a real estate project in Quang Ngai has been recognized at one of Asia’s most prestigious architecture and design awards, a milestone that signals the central Vietnamese province is entering a new era of development, one where international living standards are beginning to take root.
The Asia Architecture Design Awards, a leading regional platform recognizing the most influential built works across the continent, has honored Coastal Quang Ngai - A Community by HAUS, an ecological urban township, across three award categories: Asia’s Best Landscape Planning, Asia’s Best Mixed-Use Development, and Asia’s Best Residential Architecture Design.
Industry experts and investors have noted that a project from Quang Ngai being recognized on an international stage is both exceptional and unprecedented. For many years, the province has been known primarily as a key industrial hub in central Vietnam, endowed with unspoiled coastal scenery and a rich cultural heritage. Yet the market has long lacked projects of sufficient stature to represent the locality’s emerging urban identity. Spanning nearly 94 hectares in Tu Nghia commune, Coastal Quang Ngai is steadily changing that narrative.
Rather than following a conventional real estate model, Coastal Quang Ngai is positioned as an international standard coastal living community, where master planning, architecture, landscaping, and the overall living experience are developed in a cohesive framework aligned with global benchmarks. The project carries the ambition of establishing a new landmark for Quang Ngai, one that is more modern, more sustainable, and more livable. The three international accolades represent formal recognition of that long-term development philosophy.
The award for Asia’s Best Landscape Planning reflects the project’s guiding principle of sustainable development. Master-planned by Sweco, a leading European firm in architecture, engineering, and urban development consulting with over 130 years of experience, the project was conceived with full systemic integration from the outset. Transportation, public spaces, social amenities, the ecological environment, and quality of life are all woven into a coherent whole. Residents of Coastal Quang Ngai do not simply own a home; they inhabit an urban fabric designed with multigenerational living in mind.
In the Asia’s Best Mixed-Use Development category, Coastal Quang Ngai was recognized for its capacity to create a comprehensive living ecosystem, a place where residents can settle, unwind, explore, and engage with their community, all within a single, interconnected environment. This approach mirrors an urban development trend that major cities worldwide are actively pursuing to elevate sustained quality of life.
Meanwhile, the Asia’s Best Residential Architecture Design award further affirms the project’s design credentials. A contemporary architectural language, drawn from the natural character of Quang Ngai’s coastal landscape, delivers an internationally resonant aesthetic while retaining a distinctly local spirit.
Mr. Michael Sheren, Chairman of HAUS, said the awards reflect the company’s dedication to pursuing a globally informed, sustainable community living model. “For HAUS, a project must not only be beautiful today, it must generate lasting value across hundreds of years and multiple future generations. Coastal Quang Ngai has been developed with the mindset of a ‘living legacy,’ where people, nature, and community grow in harmony over time.”
Against the backdrop of Quang Ngai’s rapid transformation in infrastructure, economic output, and urbanization, the emergence of an internationally acclaimed project carries significance well beyond the real estate sector. It signals that the province is ready to claim a new position on the region’s development map. From a land of untapped potential, Quang Ngai is steadily becoming a destination for the new living standards of central Vietnam, and Coastal Quang Ngai stands as the pioneering symbol of that journey, a new source of pride for the people of Quang Ngai on the Asian stage.
Mr. Sheren added: “The recognition from both domestic and international markets is a source of immense pride for Coastal Quang Ngai and marks a meaningful milestone on HAUS’s journey to create sustainable living communities on a global scale. These awards are also an expression of gratitude to our world-class partners, Sweco, SHMA, RSP, 100Architects, Gio Forma, and DJCoalition, who share a single commitment: to design for Quang Ngai, from the inspiration of Quang Ngai, and for the future of Quang Ngai.”
