Project overview
The Metropolis Tower (Capital Place) is a testament to Metal RoofMaster’ expertise with its sophisticated “dragon scale” facade

Context
Featuring a unique and complex design, the tower’s façade draws inspiration from the dragon, one of Vietnam’s four sacred creatures. The panels mimic giant dragon scales directed towards West Lake. Illuminated by sunlight or urban LED lights, these scales create a shimmering effect that shifts with perspective, simulating the movement of a dragon
Bringing this vision to life posed a significant challenge for the BM Windows team. This design was unprecedented in Vietnam, and no local façade contractor had tackled such a project before. Despite these challenges, BM Windows triumphantly devised the most optimal installation solution

The challenge presented
The panels are set at varying angles of 0, 3, 6, and 9 degrees
The project’s 187m high unitized façade employs large, vertically rectangular panels, angled differently at 0, 3, 6, and 9 degrees to the horizontal plane. This arrangement creates a dynamic, depth-filled motion effect. The concept aims to replicate the “dragon scales'” openness, causing the light reflection to vary throughout the day and imparting a distinct hue to the building
The project's façade integrates four distinct colors
