The Deutsches Haus Ho Chi Minh Stadt (English translation German House Ho Chi Minh City) is a building complex under construction since 2014 in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The project is scheduled to be completed by 2017. The 25-story building complex was initiated under a bilateral government agreement between Germany and Vietnam, with the purpose of setting standards for energy efficiency “made in Germany.” It will also be the location of the German Consulate General and other institutions and businesses, as well as a cultural and economic hub for German representation in Vietnam.

History
After the Deutsches Haus received its first political mention by the German Federal Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier in 2008, the construction project was approved in 2013. Chancellor Angela Merkel regarded the building permit as an “important symbol” of further rapprochement between Germany and Vietnam. According to her statement, German institutions and interested German companies will have their common seat at the Deutsches Haus in Ho Chi Minh City.
In October 2015 was the official groundbreaking ceremony in the presence of international guests from the political, societal, and economic fields. The German-born investor and CEO of the owner company, Horst Geicke, sees the Deutsches Haus as the main address for German and Central European companies and investors in Vietnam and ASEAN.
The topping out celebration took place on 1. November 2016.
Design and Ecology
The architectural concept expresses Germany’s leading role as an industrial and technological nation through transparency and structured natur, economic construction, and energy efficiency. According to the Federal Ministry of Economics, the building will set new standards for energy efficiency and environmental building standards in Vietnam by the use of ecological building materials in combination with the latest technology from Germany.
A double facade is adapted to the climatic conditions of the country and will contribute significantly to energy savings.
A glass facade signals openness to the urban environment. The two buildings which are different in height are interconnected by “glass joints.” An arcade will open the high-rise buildings on the ground ffloor area to both street fronts and connect the entries with the different lobbys and areas.
