Hanoi Doji Tower: A Shining Diamond in the Heart of Hanoi

Combining Classical and Modern Styles to Create a Landmark

The architecture of Doji Tower is inspired by the diamond, one of the most precious and rarest gems in nature. Do Minh Phu, the lead designer and president of Doji Gold and Gems group, envisioned a creative and distinct architectural masterpiece in the historical location of downtown Hanoi.

With its distinctive design that harmoniously blends classical and modern styles, Doji Tower stands as an exquisite giant diamond in the heart of Hanoi. This architectural gem has been recognized as the largest diamond-shaped building in Vietnam, adorned with the most gold and gem decorations.

The construction of Doji Tower was no easy feat. The project faced numerous challenges, including obtaining approval from the 12 members of the Hanoi Architecture Council. However, through perseverance and innovative thinking, the vision for Doji Tower became a reality.

The base of the building features six floors completely tiled with Cream Marphil, a natural marble meticulously cut and trimmed by talented workers. This solid and compelling base sets the stage for the upper floors, which form an enormous diamond block. Thousands of special glass sheets, made exclusively for Doji Tower, create a spectacular light effect, requiring rigorous standards to ensure environmental friendliness.

Spanning a floor area of 1,658 m2 and a total area for use of nearly 19,000 m2, Doji Tower boasts 16 floors and 3 basements. The first five floors serve as a modern shopping center for gold, gems, and jewelry, making it the largest center for these precious commodities in Vietnam. It also serves as the headquarters of the Doji Gold and Gem group.

The completion of Doji Tower was celebrated with a monumental inauguration ceremony on September 6, 2019. Situated at the historic junction of three streets and three districts in Hanoi, Doji Tower serves as a symbol of the city's significance as a Vietnamese center for gold, gem, and jewelry trading.

Doji Tower's unique design and attention to detail have garnered recognition and accolades. In 2020, it was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Architecture, Building, and Structure Design category. This prestigious award honors designs that exhibit strong technical and creative skills, contributing to quality of life improvements and making the world a better place.

Doji Tower is not just a building; it is a testament to the creativity and innovation of Do Minh Phu and the architects from NKB Archi Vietnam. It stands as a shining diamond, illuminating the skyline of Hanoi and captivating all who behold its beauty.
