Dewan Appointed Lead Architect and Interior Design Consultant for Maia Ho Tram in Vietnam

Appointment strengthens Dewan’s growing hospitality portfolio across Southeast Asia

Dewan Architects + Engineers has been appointed as Lead Architect and Interior Design Consultant for Maia Ho Tram, a landmark hospitality and residential development on Vietnam’s southern coastline. Commissioned by Lodgis Hospitality Holdings in partnership with VinaLiving, the project forms part of The Grand Ho Tram Strip, one of the region’s largest integrated resorts, and represents another significant addition to Dewan’s growing portfolio in Vietnam and Southeast Asia. Located approximately two hours from Ho Chi Minh City, Maia Ho Tram occupies Zone A1 of Phase 3 of the resort’s master plan. Dewan’s design brings together a high-density hospitality and residential programme with a wellness-led approach, maximising the site’s oceanfront setting while creating a strong connection between architecture, landscape and nature.

Spanning approximately 103,000 square metres, the development comprises two high-rise towers, Peace and Happy, alongside a villa cluster and a podium of shared lifestyle amenities. A cascading sequence of landscaped terraces and pools connects the elevated podium with the beach, while a strong axial view leads from the grand lobby towards the sea. The Peace Tower interiors draw inspiration from a “golden forest” concept, evoking the soft light filtering through trees at sunset. The wider development will include a hotel operated by Fusion Hotel Group under the Maia Resort brand, 1,244 condominium apartments and 36 low-rise villas. Amenities will include dining venues, a kids’ club, golf simulator, wellness centre, multifunctional hall, beach club and a rooftop podium deck with a lap pool, landscaped terraces and fitness facilities.

“Maia Ho Tram is a milestone project that reflects the values we bring to every commission: sustainability, lifestyle-driven design, and architectural innovation. Vietnam and Southeast Asia are rapidly growing markets, and we are proud to contribute with a project that sets new benchmarks for wellness and hospitality, while creating long-term value for both residents and guests.”

Dewan will also oversee the implementation of Building Information Modeling across the project, establishing an integrated digital framework that supports seamless coordination between disciplines, enhances the accuracy and consistency of project information, and enables more informed decision-making throughout the design and delivery process. Through BIM-led collaboration, Dewan will help streamline design and construction workflows, identify and resolve potential coordination issues at an early stage, improve overall project efficiency, and maintain greater precision, quality and consistency from design development through to construction and final delivery.

“Our vision for Maia Ho Tram is to design more than just buildings—we are shaping an experience that brings people closer to nature while delivering the highest standards of contemporary living. It is a unique opportunity to strengthen our presence in Vietnam and demonstrate how design-led thinking can define new models of resort living.”
