boat trips also depart from Ð Bach Dang on the river ’s
western bank to make the most of Da Nang’s after

Nowhere in Vietnam is a city undergoing change as fast as
Da Nang. For decades it had a reputation as a developing
province, but big changes are ongoing. Stroll along the
Han riverfront and you’ll find gleaming new modern hotels,
apartments and restaurants emerging. Spectacular new
bridges now span the Han river, and in the north of the city
landmark new D-City is rising from the flatlands. Venture
south and the entire East Sea Beach strip is booming with
hotel and resort developments.

part of a long thin peninsula, at the northern tip of which is
Nui Son Tra. East Sea Beach and the five Marble Mountains
lie southwest of the city.

The proposed masterplan amplifies the idea that the theatre

is the centre piece of the Cocobay development. The 2000
seats theatre is bounded by the condotel and a substantial
waterbody with spectacular fountain and light show. The
theatre and the plaza create a sense of arrival into the
development from where the guest can make their way
along the central pedestrian spine either towards the sea or
the river.

The adjacent Condotel Towers embrace the theatre and

creates public space with retail. In addition to the condotels,
there are two boutique hotel along the podium spine which

Main Avenue is Cocobay’s bustling entertainment street which will include a wide
variety of attractions and interactive features.The street area has a length of nearly
1km and includes seven themed spaces. Taking in consideration Da Nang’s strong
connection with the sea and the local fshing industry, Atkins developed a chain of
“Floating Terraces” which are interlinked and meander through the various public

spaces in order to create a strong overall project identity.

The project identity is further strengthened by the introduction of major interactive
landscape elements which allow the visitor to interact with light, water, projections
and sound. These features will complement the themed landscape spaces and
provide a constantly changing landscape which remains interesting for visitors 2

throughout the year.

Architecture
Our architects share a passion for excellence. We believe that design solutions must be fitting to the time, place
and culture in which they are located. We have no single ‘house style’ – preferring instead to offer excellent,
inspirational architecture and urban design that reflects our diversity and collaborative working style.

With internationally renowned, locally based teams and an international office network, Atkins is able to provide
worldclass design solutions around the globe. Across the Asia Pacific region, Atkins has created numerous
innovative architectural solutions. Over the past ten years Atkins has planned, designed and enabled commercial,
transport, residential, retail and civic projects from our regional base. The key to the success of our architects is
the local knowledge and international experience of the people we have in the region.

Our architecture studios provide design services from four key locations: Beijing, Hong Kong, Shanghai and
Shenzhen that cover all of China. We are also rapidly expanding into South East Asia, with a presence in
Vietnam and a planned studio in Malaysia to support our Hong Kong operation in continuing to serve this
broader region.

In Asia and China in particular the Atkins design teams have developed projects from conception to completion
on site, working with both local and international consultants. We employ architects, urban designers, planners,
landscape architects, low carbon design experts, and interior designers. Our design teams are made up of a
potent mix of international staff and experienced local designers.

To serve clients across the region a realization of the cultural and regional differences of this vast continent is
essential. The innovation and best practice of Atkins worldwide network is allied with the knowledge of local
culture and real conditions in Asia.
