This property project is supposed to be of high standard but from what I să in Hanoi , where the project is more advanced, it seems like architects have no idea about french "ardoise" tile dome roofs, they clumsily made it with sheet metal plates that they failed in achieving proper joints . I only take one picture but I insure you that all the mansart roofs I saw on the achieved buildings of the project are made of this inaesthetical and cheap metal sheet.

Um...yes i agree with u....the dome looks so deformed...reminds me of my do-it-myself Christmas gift boxes :)....and the window frames look cheap too.

When compared to true French batiments, the clumpsiness is clear:

The dome and the tiles are obviously crooked. Poor construction quality.

Oh my god...what for a shit. I very dissapointed by Bitexco and the foreign Management of The Manor....so sad. Ok, 1 year for a huge building like this seems to be too very short. Hoping that the Pacific Place with a construction time of 3 years will be build in a more better quality.
BTW, even the windows and balcony colours looking ugly.

Yeah windows are so cheap, just like windows of typically cheap Saigon houses.

cmon guys giv them a break.... ur expecting too much out of the vietnamese. They cheat and this is wut happens. i hope in time with more demand for "luxury" buildings they might DO IT RIGHT!

is that the one in HCMC or Hanoi??

is that the one in HCMC or Hanoi??

Hanoi.
Hoping Manor Saigon isn't like this.

Don't expect the difference, since both are of the same company.

what's the name of the architect ? Another moron who pretends to master french architecture from what he sees on colonial building in Hanoi ?

why is everyone complaining I love French architecture
and it's great that they could curve a flat sheet of metal to the round oval shape of a dome.....I mean that's super genius
I thought they used ceramic tiles for the roofs because they're so shiny when catches sunlight.......who knew? VN is a land of mystery...........I think they use the same material for the SG opera house........but the thing is:
I don't see "red" mansart roof in France, only VN.....

just pray that by NOV of next year when VN hosting the Apec summit and all the world leaders stay there won't get injure

LS could you taking more picture of the Manor building in Ho CHi Minh city from the ground and its roof top?
Tran have pictures of the HCMC manor? hehe

I just hope that this part of this building doesn´t belong to the investment by Bitexco.

The picture you show is not the manor Saigon. Where have you taken this?

This is not the manor picture. Just go to Nguyen Huu Khanh and check by yourself before sending such comments.

Then show us the Manor's pictures.

then go for yourself again...The Manor is right behind that building you have shown.


(pictures from 08/05)

Thats The Manor Hanoi:

...these villas are the boarder for the 2 different building.

...from this perspective that building that you have taken is in the east.

this building is right on the main street Pham Hung...so The Manor can´t be there....because The Manor has any street on the eastside if you take a look to the layout and in real of yourse too.

....that is your building which you have taken and the u/c building is The Manor.

The Manor Villa again and far away as you can see from the building you have taken.


...they´re are located next to each other in My Dinh but both are not the same. The one is from Bitexo.
cheers!

@tran: the picture you show is not the manor Hanoi ,it's a project next to the manor ,built by Song Da Corporation not Bitexco

hahah you mad stupid aah but u do got the point thought vietnAM DO HAV BAB fuckinh!!!!!!! contruction statues they just lazy fucking vietcong

Nice construction projects going on in Vietnam...

Really ? because they look alike so much: same façade, dark colour coverings of lower floors contrasting with upper floors.

Sorry for my mistake then.

But the fact that I personally shot this photo in Hanoi in November 2005

see everyone in the weekend. peace!

The ordinary people are suffering whilst the while regime is corrupted from top to bottom. It really makes me wonder how much wealth the secretary, the prime minister, the president etc are accumulating when a lowly official managed to gamble away over $2 million dollars in two months.

Governments are there to serve the people, not pillaging and robbing from them to line their own pockets.

I don't have much faith in this government. I'm be praying and thanking God that state sponsored projects won't be delayed for years, or building at a snail pace, or the funds siphoned off and the end result will be a botch job.

ko the phu nhan tham nhung la mot trong nhung problem hang dau cua VN.Phai noi la VN tut hau xa hon cac nuoc khac phan lon la do loi cua che do quan lieu cua ta.But VN is tryin to join WTO so maybe in the near future they will do sumthin to make it better.
At least,our bureaucracy is much,much more better than in Indonesia after i heard my Indo friends' stories about them.

Hey danangboy and khicantoiseyeu, ur languages r spoiling this forum.
