Amidst Vietnam’s burgeoning luxury real estate market, Masterise Homes continues to lead the branded real estate segment with its distinctive strategy and market-leading vision.
Breaking away from traditional project launches that often focus on technical drawings, apartment specifications, or simulated showrooms, Masterise Homes has transformed the entire 15th floor of the Lake Tower at Grand Marina, Saigon. Here, they present a unique experience: a week-long contemporary art exhibition titled “The House of Modern Legacy,” showcased within 12 actual apartments from the Special Edition Marriott Residences Collection.
More than just a tour of completed apartments, The House of Modern Legacy is a meticulously curated journey where art, lifestyle, and heritage converge in a real-life living space that meets Marriott’s global standards.
Situated on the historic Ba Son Shipyard—the oldest in Indochina and a national heritage site—Grand Marina, Saigon boasts a prime location and a rich cultural legacy. This project seamlessly blends the splendor of its storied past with a modern international living icon, earning its place as a “new-era heritage” in the evolving landscape of Ho Chi Minh City.
Inspired by this spirit, The House of Modern Legacy transforms 12 branded apartments from the Special Edition Marriott Residences Collection into 12 “slices” of contemporary heritage. These are no ordinary apartments; each space becomes a narrative chapter, a symbolic masterpiece curated by art researcher Ngô Kim Khôi.

“Each Marriott Residence is a refined experience. I ensure every artwork and luxury item—from fragrances and watches to rare wines—is intentionally placed. My goal is to trace the heritage flow from Ba Son to contemporary Saigon. This is how I imbue each space with a soul, a timeless essence,” he explains, emphasizing that a living space becomes a true masterpiece only when it possesses a soul.

Partnering with Masterise Homes, global leaders in lifestyle artistry such as The Macallan, Franck Muller, BVLGARI, Canali, and S.T. Dupont have brought their most exclusive collections to Vietnam for the first time in a luxury real estate event. These elements blend seamlessly with the bold artistry of Hom Nguyen, Cyril Kongo, and the Saigon-Gia Dinh paintings—marking 100 years of fine arts—to create spaces where each apartment is not just a home but a statement of art, individuality, and heritage.
Twelve Spaces, Three Artistic Pillars
Guests embarking on The House of Modern Legacy journey will explore 12 apartments curated around three artistic themes: past, present, and future.
Enthusiastic guests explore the narrative woven through each apartment space.
Four apartments under the theme “Dialogue with Time” revive Saigon’s memories through artwork from Saigon Antique. Here, the space becomes a vibrant collection of classic art, featuring pieces from Gia Dinh Fine Arts School artists like Duy Liêm, Nguyễn Trí Minh, Đào Mùi, Đỗ Xuân Doãn, and Lê Chánh. As the beauty of old Saigon is awakened and merged with contemporary flair, each space becomes a reflection of refined living, where the past is preserved as modern heritage, enduring through time. This pride and legacy are what Grand Marina, Saigon, bestows upon the future owners of the Special Edition Marriott Residences Collection.

Continuing the journey, guests enter two apartments under the theme “The Pulse of Now,” celebrating contemporary milestones and the spirit of modern living as a creative and personal statement. In the Gentlemen’s House, tailored Italian suits by Canali, luxury accessories from S.T. Dupont, and The Art of Flower whisky from The Macallan Horizon embody sophistication and character. Conversely, the Lady’s House celebrates the elegance and contemporary spirit of women with BVLGARI’s Allegra perfume collection and the Art of Living line, inspired by life’s vibrant emotions.

Concluding the journey, six apartments under the theme “Global Masterpieces” offer breathtaking views of Thu Thiem Peninsula and the Saigon River, symbolizing a future taking shape and inspiring global aspirations for Ho Chi Minh City. Here, Hom Nguyen and Cyril Kongo’s most valuable artworks visually dialogue with Franck Muller’s limited-edition Vanguard Crazy Hours Hom Nguyen watch, merging Eastern and Western craftsmanship. The space is further elevated by The Macallan Red Collection 78 YO and the Distil Your World Hongkong collection, adding layers of sensory richness.
The value of each apartment lies not only in its heritage location but also in how it redefines living—an experience that awakens all senses.
Dialogue with Global Icons
Never before has a real estate event in Vietnam gathered so many leading brands. The Macallan presents its rarest collections, with a brand representative noting, “The Macallan has always been synonymous with heritage and timelessness. Placing our most precious whiskies in Grand Marina Saigon reveals a clear resonance: each collection, like each apartment, is a fusion of time and art, leaving a modern legacy for future generations.” Meanwhile, Franck Muller contributes its “Master of Complications” timepieces. A brand representative states, “Collaborating with Masterise Homes allows us to tell the story of these timepiece masterpieces within the project’s luxury living spaces—where art and style converge.”
A Milestone for Vietnamese and Southeast Asian Real Estate
A Masterise Homes representative reflects, “This event is more than just the launch of 12 actual apartments from the Special Edition Marriott Residences Collection. A special collection deserves an extraordinary experience! We aim to bring customers closer to a branded lifestyle rich in cultural depth, within Marriott-standard completed living spaces. This is not just an apartment tour but a journey through art, heritage, and personalized luxury living. Customers will vividly experience the project’s unique value—from its location and living spaces to its services and exclusive privileges—and envision the branded lifestyle they will enjoy at Grand Marina, Saigon.”
