Outstanding architectural works reflect the socio-economic and cultural-environmental situation in each country and the core values and vision of each business.

For many years, being a partner in the path of development of Sao Mai Group, the Financial Consulting and Investment Joint Stock Company (Astar) has been growing strongly in both scale and operational efficiency. Astar is progressing on the journey to create a new position to escape the cocoon and reach out and affirm its brand in the design and architecture industry.

Astar has breathed life into every project, whether it is an office building, a high-end urban area, a resort, a tourism infrastructure work, a restaurant, a hotel or a factory.... All of these works contain humanistic messages, connecting with the community, respecting nature, and inspiring creativity, and are places to convey emotions to many generations of employees of Sao Mai Group.

Astar and creative passion 

Along with the development of modern society, the role and position of architecture becomes more and more important, which serves as a measure reflecting the construction planning of a country or a locality. Architecture has always been an effective tool to express the power of the leadership system.

With such development, "Architectural objects" have been diversified to serve the increasing needs for comfort of people. A series of building types were formed to meet different functions, which are placed in detailed plans. Then to the next step, deeper details are the interior and exterior designs that enhance comfort and suit different requirements. It can be said that without architectural objects that contain and create an interactive environment, human society cannot exist and develop.

Proving these arguments, at Sao Mai Vung Tau Resort located in Phu My town, Ba Ria-Vung Tau province, Sao Mai Group recently opened Sao Mai Center 2, designed by Astar, a work that evokes sublime emotions from visitors. This is an architectural space that is soft and luxurious but hides a strong and warm flexibility that matches the values and messages that Astar wants to show.
