(CNN)Move over Singapore — Ho Chi Minh City could be Asia’s next garden city.
That’s the vision of leading Vietnamese architect Vo Trong Nghia whose designs feature cascading gardens, open-air corridors and lots of bamboo.

I think we are different because we do company-wide meditation every day.
We started meditating four years ago, after I joined a 10-day course that was 12 hours a day — no email no phone, no nothing.

This keeps our minds really calm and focused, and we feel the tranquility of nature.
Why is meditation important to your work?
It’s really simple. Normally, people can focus like three to five seconds and then something will interrupt the mind.
But if you do meditation, you can focus longer, and it makes your mind and work more efficient and clear.
