Tracy Vu – the owner of a mini house shared that in Ho Chi Minh City, there are now many real estates like her house, with small size and micro-degree papers. However, most families mainly consider this as a place to stay, paying little attention to living space. Before repairing the house, she spent time consulting many places about architecture, layout… but all were not satisfied. Construction before repair. After that, she consulted the micro-house projects of some Asian countries such as Korea, Japan …, along with the advice of a professional design team, Tracy Vu decided to renovate the house. It has an area of ​​only 17 square meters. The total cost of design, construction and completion is about 290 million VND. She believes that home is a nest, nurture, build, weave beautiful dreams or enjoy the sweet and bitter taste of a small family. The first floor has a kitchen, dining table and toilet. Due to the limited area, the architect did not design the living room, but used the dining table as a place to receive guests. The laundry area is located next to the kitchen cabinets. Homeowners use a machine that combines washing and drying, saving living space, without having to worry about drying clothes. Although the house is quite small, she hopes it will be an ideal living space for a young couple. A neat, tidy, comfortable home but no less luxurious and trendy. Tracy Vu’s house project was completed 6 months ago with anticipation, joy and happiness. “Home – a place to welcome you at any time, whether happy or sad, success or failure. My husband and I and our children will hold hands together to enjoy all the joys, happiness, and overcome all the sorrows in life in this first house,” said Tracy Vu. The walls of the house are painted with imitation cement, the kitchen cabinets, the stairs use white tones and are accented with the blue color of the dining chairs. Right next to the door is a small shoe cabinet. The scientific arrangement, connecting the uses like this not only saves space, but also gives homeowners a modern and comfortable life. Stairs use butter tube lights to shine, creating coziness. The second floor is used as a bedroom. The area is narrow, but the architect still arranges to put 1 bed, 1 wardrobe and 1 long desk. “The house doesn’t have a red book, so it can’t be built with an additional floor,” Tracy Vu said. Glass partitions keep the house safe and at the same time make the house larger. The desk with the same color of the wall and the wooden shelf with the headboard is the highlight for the bedroom. Homeowners use a Domino double induction cooker – a kitchen for mini-apartments. The upper part of the kitchen cabinet holds dishes and cooking utensils, keeping the room clean. Cabinet material includes moisture-proof industrial wood combined with picomat resin. The family uses a washing machine and dryer, without drying, so the small handrail is simply designed with a fence that can be pushed out and pulled in. Concrete stairs, wood paneling with a short distance, help homeowners walk without fatigue.

However, besides the above criteria, the young man in Ho Chi Minh City also wants to show his personality, interests and taste. Before these requirements, architect Tong Ly harmoniously combined the elements, bringing dark tones into the 2-bedroom apartment with an area of ​​​​64m2. The door next to the kitchen, right there is a shoe cabinet. Materials from moisture-resistant industrial wood, imitation wood grain paint. The island combines the dining table, convenient for food processing. The architect has chosen a dark color palette to express the personality, lifestyle and preferences of the owner – who wants to live in the midst of an artist, contemporary and improvised space. She chooses 2 styles, Loft and Retro, to coordinate and give the finished drawing. Loft style interior design originated in New York (USA) in the early years of the twentieth century. This is an architectural style that has many similarities with the Industrial style. People take advantage of the factory areas as a place to stop, rest and live. Interior design in Loft style is a combination of old and new properties. The outstanding feature of this style is the use of modern materials such as metal, combined with familiar interior items (storage chests, old leather sofas, …). These two materials represent modern beauty and old nostalgia blending together to create a special feature for your home. Meanwhile, Retro style is a famous design style from the 50s of the last century, mainly taking the principles of classical style but with strong innovation to bring a unique feature. The combination of 2 styles Loft and Retro has brought perfect beauty to the apartment. Loft’s break, strong, rough is reduced by the soft, romantic look of Retro. The white painted surface on the wall like the current state of the investor is retained quite a bit, in return for the gray spaces appearing on the wall – ceiling of the space, creating depth and expanding the apartment area in terms of feeling. sense. The earthy red tone creates a rustic effect, preferably used for the curved wall behind the sofa and extends to the end of the hallway but is still uniform in darkness. The owner is quite daring when he agrees to put on the apartment a layer of material that is quite heavy but still retains the necessary softness of the living space. That is reflected in the details of the ceiling and curved walls. Some details show the delicate taste of the owner. Architects use imitation cement wall paint as a highlight. This paint color has been popular for the past 2 years. Because it brings a close beauty, rustic but modern. Long, rounded glass windows help the bedroom get more light, while creating blocks on a red painted background to help the living room not be boring. The corners are arranged with drawers and drawers, helping to make the bedroom less detailed and uncluttered. In the master bedroom, the architect cleverly used the push door as a door between the bed area and the wardrobe area, saving space. Wall mounted red brick, iron night light painted black bold Loft. Bookshelves, desks, and shelves are all wooden with black painted iron legs. The smooth combination of 2 styles has put on the apartment an irresistible beauty, making everyone admire.

But that is the effect that can be seen and felt after the renovation process, and before that, this was a 195m² penthouse, completely raw and located in the northwest towards the center of Ho Chi Minh City. How to create an impressive interior space mixed with natural architectural lines into the interior space is the topic that the design team received from the investor. “This is a very interesting and very difficult topic for us” – the design team from APS concept shared. “The apartment is designed with the idea of ​​creating a connection between nature and architecture, with two large glass facades allowing views of the surrounding area. A very remarkable highlight of the living room space is the wall made from black stone that runs high into the atrium, creating the feeling of being next to a majestic cliff. The second impression is the “epoxy metallic” floor that is applied in the apartment. Sharing more details on how to create this floor, the architects said that they started with an all-white epoxy floor, then added more black and silver metals to create a unique and rhythmic flow. “We like the way it flows naturally and flows from the first floor, along the steel stairs down to the entire living space like streams flowing along the cliffs. This special material is never duplicated.” Thus, the white marble effect epoxy floor treated with the emotions of the performers has become smooth and makes the space open and airy. In terms of color, black tone was chosen as the main color, clearly showing the elegance and personality. In harmony with this overall, the Hermès orange furniture creates accents, making the space more lively and eye-catching. The walls using black paint are roughened to bring the desired effects during the day when there is direct sunlight or create depth for the space under the lights at night. The curved stairs and the steps surface details are treated to feel like a flow from the stairs to the lower floor, full of nature inspiration. The old monotonous staircase was replaced with a new curved staircase, completely machined by sheet steel, from the steps to the handrail. This is an appropriate solution to help reduce the traffic to the first floor while creating a soft feeling for the space. Besides, the Hermès color tone is still the highlight for the space and the epoxy flow on the stairs is like a stream overflowing and spreading from above, spreading to the floor in the living room… Thus, the topic of the investor fully resolved – the apartment is an impressive living space that blends natural lines into the interior space.

Currently, the Zen lifestyle is also present in many countries, including Vietnam. In particular, Zen style interior decoration is also quite popular (Modern Japanese Style – Japandi). Zen style uses natural materials, natural light, everything is minimalist and the space is organized. In interior design, Zen reflects balance, harmony and relaxation. A touch of Zen style. Zen interior design is based on five natural elements – fire, earth, metal, water, wood. However, Zen does not mean separating oneself from life but living leisurely, doing the movements of daily life with a natural way. Living Zen also means living slowly, making life’s challenges simple. No matter how busy the work is, the people of the land of the rising sun always value balance in life. The followers of this school no matter how busy they are, they still find time to relax through every activity of their daily life. All those spirits have been conveyed by Ms. Tram Nguyen – an interior designer and the LD studio team into a 60m2 apartment in Ho Chi Minh City. The theme for the living room is: Classic, Tailor-made Comfort. Stylist mixes cedar blue or Woad Blue/green blue (60%) with warm earthy tones such as ceramic orange or terracotta Terra-cotta (30%) and Plum red (10%) for a bold look. , cozy and inviting. Ms. Tram Nguyen shared, this is the apartment of the owner named Linh. In the process of working and interacting, she found that the owner has a very “Zen” energy. Because, the owner loves and lives according to Buddhist principles. The apartment is 60m2 wide with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, so it needs a lot of storage space. Besides, the owner also likes to organize meetings and welcome friends to visit the house. Characteristic in the Zen style are the Buddha statues. With these two main needs, Ms. Tram Nguyen finds Japanese-style furniture to be the most optimal. However, homeowners do not like the traditional style, but prefer Western furniture. In the end, Japandi was chosen as the perfect puzzle piece. Ms. Tram Nguyen added that she worked as a fashion stylist before, then switched to an interior stylist with her husband. The above apartment is made by husband and wife. The interesting thing here is that the couple is trusted by the owner to assign from A – Z, even the selection of style, as long as it suits the personality and needs of the owner. This Buddha statue will absorb solar energy and glow when it gets dark. “Normally, customers who come to design consultations often have ideas and ask us to implement them, but Linh is different. We have to learn the thoughts and preferences of our customers, then fly as we please. It’s like a guest comes in and is ready to make a blank page so that I can dress them up with fabrics and colors and patterns,” said Ms. Tram Nguyen. Agarwood burners, books and some home decor items. Behind the animal statue is the peacock’s tail, which helps to filter air, radiation, magnetic fields and increase oxygen at night. The sofa is 35cm high, but when sitting, the person sitting on the sofa is not taller than the person sitting on the ottoman. The sofa mattress is designed to be softer, while the seat mattress is more inflated. Buddha paintings brought back from Tibet by the owner. Kitchen overlooking the loggia The investor’s kitchen was replaced by a stylist with a white cabinet door with wood grain and mosaic tiles. Spiritual corner, worshiping Buddha statue. The bedroom has a theme: Soft, Safe Hideaway. The room is colored in Slate color dark green (60%) beige and brown (30%) and accented with pastel pink (10%) another green-pink palette. At the end of the bed there is a lazy chair. Initially, the stylist determined to make the seat cushion as the living room, but the owner preferred the lazier chair. Wardrobe in white oak grain to match the room’s tone. Extra bedroom.

Small rugs: Small rugs will make a space look smaller and vice versa. In addition to making the space appear larger, rugs can divide the place into zones. For example, if you don’t want to put a screen or tall wardrobe in the middle of the room to separate your bedroom from where you work, you can use a rug to do that. Not enough light: To make a room look bigger, you need to light up every nook and cranny. The arrangement of lights in the room must also be considered to avoid taking up too much space. Use horizontal lines: The smaller the place, the more items must be with vertical lines on the couch or bed. Also, instead of short curtains, it’s better to use long curtains that touch the floor. Color is also very important, designers recommend using colors that match the wall. Dark, heavy furniture: Glass furniture and other transparent materials will make your space appear larger. Also, buy furniture that is made in light colors rather than dark colors. Different color walls and ceilings: Different colored walls and ceilings narrow the space, whereas the same color will make the space wider. Furniture without legs: Furniture with high legs to reveal the floor below makes the room feel larger than it really is. Small mirror: The new large mirror makes the room look much larger. Also, hanging a mirror in front of a window can reflect more light. TV at eye level or lower: The TV should be placed higher than eye level, when looking up at the TV, it will feel that the wall of the house is higher than it actually is. In addition, this approach also creates space under the TV to use storage for other items.

According to the mainstream feng shui sect, a bad position is not only inconvenient in daily life but also has a bad influence on feng shui, causing homeowners and family members to always encounter unlucky things, a life of discord, and wealth. fortune and fame are difficult to achieve. Opposite the exit Homeowners should avoid apartments as much as possible with the main door located directly opposite the exit or emergency stairs. If the apartment has an emergency exit that is always open, this position will commit a Khiem Nguu Sat position. According to the mainstream feng shui sect, Shield of Niu Sat is a type of extremely bad killing intent, this killing intent will cause all the luck in the house to flow out, bad luck will come, the family is not warm, the residents are prone to diseases, everyone things are not favorable. But even if the exit door is closed, this position is extremely bad, not good for feng shui. Therefore, homeowners should avoid apartments with this location! At the end of the corridor Special attention should be paid to not choosing apartments at the end of the corridor when it is placed at the end of a straight and deep corridor. Then the main door of the apartment will be badly affected. According to feng shui, the location of the apartment falling in the above department has committed the Qi Sat impulse, this is an extremely bad killing intent that causes the owner and family members to have bad luck, the mood is always tense, safe, constantly sick. Next to the elevator The elevator is the place to transport air to higher floors, so apartments with a suitable location close to the elevator will enjoy a good source of air, balanced airflow. However, homeowners should note that they should not choose apartments right next to the elevator, the main door is directly around the elevator, because these areas often have too fast and massive airflow, causing the airflow to be out of balance. Moreover, this location does not have much space for navigation. * Information for reference and contemplation.

Ms. Ly shared, her 2-bedroom apartment belongs to a high-class project in Ho Chi Minh City, has a surrounding landscape, and the price is also financially suitable. This is also a corner unit, with a clear view. The kitchen and living room are connected, making the space look spacious. The project will be completed in April 2021 with a total cost of about VND 250 million. Due to the limited total area of ​​the apartment, the couple used the Japandi style – a combination of traditional Scandinavian and Japanese styles. Japanese style brings simplicity in interior design, helping to optimize living space, “mixing” Scandinavian characteristics and personality. Japandi apartment has a warm earthy orange color. The grout between the tiles is orange, the color “ton-sur-ton” with the overall apartment. The kitchen cabinet system is streamlined with a series of shelves to reduce the heaviness and also help homeowners display many decor items. The kitchen wall is covered with large-format chopstick-shaped mosaic tiles. From the entrance, the kitchen and living room are designed to be open, creating a seamless and spacious feeling for the space. Initially, the apartment had 2 bedrooms, but colleagues often come to Ms. Ly’s house to work in groups, so she designed 1 bedroom into an office. The main color of the apartment is earthy orange mixed with white, bringing a bright and cozy look. Ms. Ly is an Interior Designer and co-founder of a furniture company. This apartment was designed by the husband and wife themselves. Small round dining table, arranged with an extra “chill” shelf next to the window. False fireplace shows a bit of Nordic style. The decorative shelf is very unique in the shape of a water pipe. The walls are painted with an earthy orange effect and are also earthy. The paint area is only 12m2, but it costs 23kg of effect paint. Before doing it, the paint team had to send Ms. Ly to test the sample 5 times to get the right paint color. The bedroom is equipped with a wardrobe that touches the ceiling combined with convenient shelves, optimizing the living area and storing clothes. The extra bedroom is converted into an office. Ms. Ly added that as an interior designer, when designing her own house, she finds it more difficult than working for guests. Because she herself knows many styles, she must carefully consider her taste, not to let the apartment be confused by many different ideas. “Before you repair your house, you need to clearly define your preferences. Then talk to the architect,” emphasized Tong Ly. Some details have Scandinavian colors. Besides, hiring an architect to design is a good and necessary solution. According to her analysis, this cost will not cost too much compared to the homeowner buying things to arrange but not suitable, not aesthetic … immediately leave, replace. Thus, the cost will be more expensive and time consuming.

The main goal of the architecture firm was to create a building with a pleasant space and lots of vegetation. The architects designed a central garden inside the 2,300 square meter building with a winding path leading to the outside space. All apartments have natural light and ventilation throughout. The building has 14 units, of which four are apartments on the ground floor. The remaining units are three-storey townhouses occupying the upper part of the complex. Each apartment has its own outdoor space, be it a balcony, courtyard or roof garden. On the upper floors, lush potted greenery adds to the building’s garden atmosphere. The exterior walls are clad with textured galarza stone, a material that can be found at other buildings in the vicinity. The gable roof gives the building a distinct look. On the ground floor, an area is carved to form a doorway with a white porcelain staircase leading to the commercial space. Another threshold leads to the apartment building’s foyer and also leads to an underground garage. The interior facades around the central courtyard have different architectural languages ​​with different windows, openings and gable roofs, aiming to create a simple, dynamic and ingenious form. The outdoor space – home to low-maintenance native plants – is intended to provide residents with a place of relaxation and reflection. Balconies are arranged around the courtyard to promote interaction among the residents. In addition to the courtyard, some rooms have access to a terrace. These upstairs patios are bordered by pink walls. The apartments have glass doors to let in daylight and connect to the outside space. Interiors include gray porcelain tile floors, tzalam cabinets and black granite countertops. The materials are chosen to adapt to the humidity in the city and retain their durability and aesthetics over time. See more photos of this impressive project:

The apartments here all have the same characteristics as old design, unreasonable use, lack of light… 5 years ago, Dieu Linh and her husband were lucky to buy an apartment at a cheap price. The first day I went to see the house, as soon as I walked in, I decided to buy it right away. Because this place is close to the office where she works, it has a cool space, different from the collective apartments she has come to see. Linh broke through the rooms, made large glass doors, and tiled Japanese-style wooden floors. The place to read books, drink tea is quite chill. At this time, in her mind, the renovation and redesign of the corners of the apartment appeared in her mind. At the time of home repair, Linh stayed at home while repairing the house while taking care of her children. Because she studied design, she had to directly design and supervise to feel secure. When she received the house, she smashed all the inner walls, changed the function of the room, broke the tiger’s cage, changed the bedroom into a large light-filled kitchen. The old bedroom was converted into a sunlit kitchen. As a result, she has three rooms flooded with light. In which, a room overlooking the garden of the neighbor on the first floor has a tigon set that touches the green eye. Two rooms with a view to the back yard of the office are quite quiet, with a row of fragrant jade orchids. She confided, the more she lived, the more she loved this house. Right in the middle of the noisy street, but entering the house is like a different world, quiet and relaxed. The terrace overlooking the balcony is planted with trees and flowers. Currently, despite many regrets, she has sold that apartment and moved to a luxury apartment complex on the outskirts of the city. Sharing about the reason for deciding to leave her favorite place, she said: “My first son has grown up, he needs a bigger space to develop physically and learn. Therefore, I bought an apartment in a new urban area, which has a large campus, landscape, swimming pool and many facilities… The old apartment has been broken up but is always a good memory for me and my family.” Small yard planted with green trees. Linh’s favorite corner, while working, reading books or chatting with her husband and children. The dining area, a brown wooden table with 4 black painted iron chairs make a difference for the apartment. Doors, doors to the room are installed with sliding doors, helping to save space. For Linh, home is not only a place to return to, but also a peaceful space for family members. The apartment is full of memories. Although she has moved, Linh still gives the apartment a lot of nostalgia. The bathroom combines cleaning, laundry and neatly arranged.

Old apartment building at 9 Cao Ba Nha, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City. Sharing the same view, an official from a central district in Ho Chi Minh City shared with an Economic & Urban reporter that, in fact, there are a number of real estate businesses that are very interested and want to participate in investment in the form of: socialize. Enterprises have traveled many times, studied very carefully, but eventually withdrew because of the biggest problem related to the population quota. In the central districts of Ho Chi Minh City today, it is very difficult to adjust the population target for a certain area. In order to attract investors, it is necessary to increase the population target by 2.5-3 times the existing one. That means the number of apartments increases by 2.5 – 3 times before they can do it. 1/3 of the apartments to be re-arranged for households in the old apartment, 1/3 sold to return the investment capital and the rest is the profit of the enterprise.

Open the knot
In fact, the above problems were proposed by the People’s Committee of Ho Chi Minh City to the Prime Minister during the working session on May 13, 2021. Accordingly, the People’s Committee of Ho Chi Minh City proposes to allow investors participating in the construction of new apartments to replace old and degraded apartments and be exempted from land use levy, land rent, and land use purpose change (if applicable). yes) for the entire area of ​​land acquired and allocated within the scope of project implementation. At the same time, it allows the City People’s Committee to select investors to build new apartments to replace old apartments (grades B, C, D) in the form of urban embellishment. This recommendation has been approved by the Prime Minister.

It is known that the Housing and Urban Development Program in Ho Chi Minh City for the period of 2021 – 2030 implemented by the Department of Construction also sets out solutions to renovate old apartments. Accordingly, this city will consider and increase the architectural planning criteria for dangerous and badly damaged old apartments. The existing central area (including District 1 and District 3) gives priority to increasing planning criteria such as population, land use coefficient, construction density, etc. for general replacement and renovation projects. old residence before 1975. The area of ​​11 existing inner city districts (including districts 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, Tan Binh, Tan Phu, Phu Nhuan, Go Vap and Binh Thanh) focuses on urban embellishment and upgrading according to modern direction. Focusing on completing unfinished projects, giving priority to increasing planning criteria such as population, land use coefficient, construction density… for renovation and new construction projects to replace old apartment buildings. before 1975.
With the knots removed, people in Ho Chi Minh City expect that the renovation of old apartments will be accelerated in the near future. “Our practical experience, it is extremely difficult to get 100% of the people living in the old apartment building to agree, especially those who have the right to own the ground floor area that can be used as a commercial space… I I think, if you want to successfully implement the renovation of old apartments in the form of old dams and build new ones, only 70-80% of households will agree. Officer (unnamed) of a district in the central area of ​​Ho Chi Minh City

Architect Do Nguyen Anh Quy said that neutral colors are used as the main color, combined with wood colors with soft curves and auxiliary LED lights to make accents. All the above factors have created an extremely sophisticated and luxurious overall. The living room and kitchen are designed in an open space but are subtly divided thanks to the use of two different textured tiles. The use of winding curves right at the conversion position does not feel stiff and awkward for the homeowner. With a small area, the architect prioritizes neat and minimalist elements. The living room is decorated with compact furniture, enough space for members to gather and entertain together. The kitchen area is very invested by the owner and is for a spacious area. The kitchen and living room area is designed to be an open space but is subtly and harmoniously divided by two types of tiles with different textures. The white and wooden kitchen cabinets are rounded in the corner, equipped with an induction cooker and full of amenities, overall extremely neat and tidy. The highlight at the dining table is the wall with a stylized design highlighted by the led light system. The space of the dining area becomes impressively beautiful and luxurious, contributing to family meals more cozy. The bedrooms are also designed in a modern style. The furniture is designed to be minimalist to maximize the area, the architect only arranges the necessary items according to the wishes of the owner of each room. The baby’s room uses bright colors, the other two main rooms are neutral colors, bringing a warm and elegant beauty to the space. Each room is arranged with LED lights on the wall or on a bookshelf, both as a highlight and providing the necessary brightness. The bedroom space is also designed in a modern style. The bedroom for parents is used in neutral colors, with a simple layout to optimize the area of ​​​​the apartment. The baby’s bedroom has brighter colors. All three bedrooms are designed with additional bookshelves. A small corner of the apartment.

Therefore, she once thought about buying land to build a villa, to have a spacious kitchen, to satisfy her passion. She and her husband have meticulously planned the design ideas and construction time. However, as time passed, she felt that the apartment of more than 100 square meters in her current apartment was enough and better for her family. Especially, being close to relatives (her brother and sister live in the same building). This apartment, she herself designed the design ideas, bought each decoration by herself, so she felt very attached and enthusiastic. She divided into zones, meeting her hobbies of cooking, reading, playing music, collecting and golfing… The female owner invests a lot in the kitchen. “My wife and I have the same opinion that if you like to eat something somewhere, you will definitely be able to make it at home and invite your loved ones to experience it,” Huong confided. Some pictures of Ms. Huong’s small nest: The corner displays bags, water bottles, balls and golf clubs. “I love golf because it’s a sport that gathers a lot of skills and principles, requires a great deal of patience. I also want to let the two children learn a lot from this sport. Beautiful little shelves for children. Starbucks vases I’ve been collecting for 11 years,” Nguyen Huong said. The living room is also a place to play for two children. On the TV shelf, Ms. Huong displays comics, books and mugs. Minimalist gray sofa is suitable for families with children, because it is less dirty. Although the living room balcony is small, it is enough for the owner to grow a lot of flowers and herbs or sip a glass of wine on a cool evening. The 30-year-old woman loves music, so she has a corner for a piano next to the sofa. The “chill chill” corner on the balcony for romantic moments of the female owner. Tables and chairs for drinking wine on the balcony are made of iron with anti-rust paint, no worries about weather causing damage Kitchen corner inspires cooking to each family member. Huong’s kitchen uses light pink, gray and mint green colors, making the space more airy and spacious. The owner has a hobby of making cakes, so the oven is always fragrant.

The plus point for this room is that there are a lot of trees, creating a feeling of green and harmony in the space with a slight vintage direction. Thanh Luan does not spend too much money on furniture, he chooses to invest in a Lifestyle TV that suits the creator’s taste. “I chose the Samsung Serif TV to not only entertain but also play the role of an interesting decoration. With the feature of automatically turning into a super-sharp picture in standby mode, many friends who come to the house do not even realize this is a TV if there is no reflective direct light, leaving the picture to themselves. Friends watching is also quite interesting. In addition, there are also 2 ways to put it on the table or attach the TV stand as a mobile gallery, so it is easy to change to reduce boredom.

I choose light colors for the house, finishing it simply because I have a preference to change the decor according to the season. With just the right investment in furniture and electronic equipment, the house is a warm, interesting and full of positive energy for us every day.” Home is the home, the most peaceful and comfortable place when we return Linh Doan added: “For the bedroom, I chose The Frame – a picture frame TV in the bedroom of the couple because I was fascinated at first sight when I saw it.

The use of reflective paper is to help prevent heat and heat, and at the same time resist UV and ultraviolet rays. This type of paper is also popular because of its low cost, only a few tens of thousands of VND/m2. However, the pasting of reflective paper inadvertently causes troubles for the apartment opposite because the sunlight reflects directly into the house: “I hope you guys stick the reflective film and replace it with insulating film, but it won’t affect the neighbors too much. The Northwest is already hot, you guys have to install a little bit of good curtain, but save the money to install a rainbow curtain or poor quality curtains then suffer”. Before solutions against heat in the summer, most people choose to invest in good curtains and healthy air conditioners: – My house faces west. It’s hot to pull the curtain to turn on the air conditioner, but it’s cold, guys, the reflective stickers are very good, in any direction, you still have to turn on the air conditioner in summer – Filming can’t solve the heat, it’s just making thick curtains and the air conditioner is strong. – My house faces the west, the sun goes straight in as long as the curtains are stable, all is ok, when the air conditioner is hot In addition, another possible solution is to paste transparent insulation film for the apartment. Insulating film for apartments is glued directly to the inside of the glass and has a transparent adhesive layer integrated on the film. Some good quality films are more expensive, but have good insulation, still have a lot of natural light and do not create mirrors on the glass. Image source: Screenshot

1. Close the window blinds The first rule in keeping the house or apartment cool is to draw the window blinds, especially the west and northwest windows because 30% of unwanted heat comes from these locations. At the same time, when choosing curtains, you should choose those with neutral colors to avoid heat radiation. 2. Air conditioner increases by 1 degree Celsius, reduces power consumption by 10% If you live in an apartment or apartment that requires the use of air conditioning, keep the temperature at around 24-27 degrees Celsius or higher if you still feel comfortable. Remember, just 1 degree Celsius increase can reduce about 10% of the electricity of the air conditioner. 3. Adjusting the ceiling fan In the summer, you sometimes feel like a ceiling fan is only pushing hot air around the house rather than cooling it and this is exactly how it feels. Therefore, install the ceiling fan so that it rotates counterclockwise to push the air straight down, creating a cooling effect on the body, and remember to set it to run clockwise in winter to pull air. cool air. 4. Close the door and seal the openings Close the doors to rooms you don’t use to keep cool air where you need it most. Seal openings around doors and windows, and use draft-stops to ensure cool air can’t escape. 5. Open windows at night when it’s cool Closing your windows and staying indoors can be a great idea during the day, but as it gets cooler in the evening, you may want to open the door to naturally cool your home – but remember to lock the door when you leave. sleep. 6. Cool down the body Cooling your house or apartment doesn’t mean you don’t need to cool your body by using body-cooling drinks, putting a cool towel on your neck or some other acupuncture points to avoid heat shock. 7. Create air conditioner from fan No air conditioning? Do not worry! A cleverly placed bowl of ice is all you need to turn a fan into a cold mist. Place a basin of water or ice tray in front of the fan for a cool breeze. 8. Choose cool clothes Wear loose, light clothing made of breathable fabrics like cotton and change your bed sheets to cotton for more comfort. 9. Turn on ventilation fans in the kitchen and bathroom This is essential because it helps to get rid of hot air from cooking or after you shower all over the house. 10. Change the light bulb If you’re having trouble cooling your home and can’t figure out why, incandescent bulbs could be the cause. These bulbs were phased out in Australia many years ago, but in Vietnam many families are still using them. This type of bulb generates a lot of heat, so switching to energy-efficient bulbs can help cool your home and save you tons of energy costs. 11. Put a basin of water in the room Another trick to lower the room temperature is to put a basin of water in the room because on the high temperature the water evaporates will help reduce the temperature significantly to make the room cooler. 12. Put a lot of plants in the house Not only preventing dust and filtering the air, plants also have a great effect in lowering the temperature of the room. However, do not leave many trees in the bedroom at night because then it produces CO2, which is not good for health. Long-term measure 13. Limit the use of many electrical appliances Not only is it a matter of saving electricity, but also because the heat emitted from electrical appliances and household appliances during operation will add a few degrees of Celsius to your already secretive house. Therefore, families should focus on living in a room with scientific time instead of spreading it as usual. 14. Reduce the heat for the roof For private houses, especially on the street, because there is usually only one facade, blocked on all three sides, the heat of the sun entering the house is mainly from the roof. Therefore, you should add false ceilings with heat-resistant materials such as gypsum plaster, foam insulation bags to keep the house cooler. 15. Natural heat blocking If you live in a private house and have a land fund, use the shade of trees to cover the windows and walls. Plant deciduous trees that shade your home in the summer, but let the sun shine through in the winter. If you can, invest in tinting your windows to keep out more heat radiation.

In the architectural dictionary or architectural structure book, there is certainly no entry “tiger cage” or definition of “tiger cage”. It can be described from reality as follows: “Tiger cage” is an iron cage fixed to the spaces in the loggia, balcony in the house. Its function is to expand the space, add more usable area and divide it to increase safety – especially to prevent theft. That part of architecture is not in books, completely created by folk. No one knows that architectural part and the name “tiger cage” ever in Vietnam. But according to the memory of many elderly people, “tiger cages” appeared around the early 80s of the last century in Hanoi, in old apartment buildings (at that time called collective houses) built in the 1980s. 60-70. The apartments in the old apartment buildings at that time were extremely modest in area and lacked amenities. The tiger cage was born with the first function to improve the area, installed in the balconies, the loggia was originally designed to dry clothes. This small area has significantly improved the function of the apartment. Some houses put potted plants as hanging gardens, some houses make storage, some houses turned into kitchens, some turned into… bedrooms. Depending on the function of use, after the iron cage is closed, people leave it open or cover part or all of it with cheap and temporary materials such as corrugated iron, board, pressed cork, nylon sheet… The first generation of tiger cages has a similar structure: it is an iron cage protruding from the top of the railing about 40-50cm, the main material is round iron Ø10-Ø12 or equivalent square iron. Later, some houses demolished the railings (mainly brick balustrades) and made iron cages from the floor. This method has expanded the floor area a bit, convenient for use. The “tiger cage” is said to have originated in Hanoi, gradually spreading to the northern provinces and then the whole country. House A6 in Giang Vo dormitory area (Ba Dinh district, Hanoi) is a 9-storey apartment building with elevator, completed construction and used in 2003. But so far this work looks no different from the apartment of the decade. 1970s by “tiger cage” . A high-rise apartment building in Trung Yen urban area, Cau Giay district, Hanoi. Many loggias have been enclosed in a new “tiger cage” style with glass doors outside and iron flowers inside. To about the late 90s, early 2000s; The second generation “tiger cage” was born, with new construction “technology”. That is, people have completely demolished the railing, removed the steel beam from the old floor to the space, poured a new floor, closed the iron cage and created a new space – a new room with a significant area encroaching on the outside space. . It must be added that, at this time, the needs of life have changed a lot, so the issue of area and accommodation is very urgent. Depending on the current structure of the building, construction solutions and even… the dose of homeowners as well as construction workers, people can reach a space of 1-2m, even 3m. Floating rooms like these are still called cuckoo cages, birdhouses or backpack houses. Making “tiger cages” has become a trend – but also a practical need in most old apartments. Now, in old apartments in Hanoi, it is very rare to find a balcony or loggia without a “tiger cage”. But that is not the end, the “tiger cage” seems to be just a transition for a while, but it is not. From apartment buildings, “tiger cages” have spread to townhouses. There are houses to make balconies, loggias, and then renovate and build iron cages as “tiger cages”; have a house as a “tiger cage” from the beginning. “Tiger cages” can be on the lower floors or the whole tum, terrace. As can be seen in most of the streets, there are townhouses with “tiger cages”. And even in many new high-rise apartment buildings built around 2000 in Hanoi, “tiger cages” also appear and are not unique in a few apartments. In addition to the need for usable area, the issue of safety is something that needs to be thoroughly studied from the perspective of society and construction industry. If in old apartments (under 5 floors) people are afraid of theft, in new high-rise apartments, people are worried about falling and falling from above. “Tiger cages” in old apartments and townhouses are often found on many streets of Hanoi. “Tiger cage” until now has not been old. There are still many homeowners in many different types of houses who have the need to make “tiger cages”, with many styles, for many reasons. If you search on Google for the phrase “Make a cage for a tiger with an iron cage”, there will be countless results of service facilities that meet this need. According to the plan, in the future, the old dormitory areas in Hanoi will be cleared to make way for new, high-rise and modern housing projects. Of course. And there have been opinions of some researchers that it is advisable to keep a part of the old collective areas, like a museum, to preserve the memory of a difficult time, as well as to show the urban development press. In that stream of opinions, the “tiger cage” is a special “heritage”, creating an impressive and difficult face of urban space, bold … Hanoi. Of course, this is a reluctant “legacy”. Tragedy “tiger cage” and what is the solution? Authorities, industry managers and experts have never acknowledged, supported or approved the “tiger cage” solution in housing projects. “Tiger cages” have many negative effects: affect urban beauty; affect the structure of apartment buildings – can even be dangerous for many old apartments; and affect the ability to escape, rescue and rescue if there is a fire and explosion incident. But the “tiger cage” is still present and constantly developing, in old and new apartments, in both old and new townhouses. That proves it still has advantages and needs for the majority of people, overcoming the fear of explosion and fire without a way out. In fact, there have been fires that have caused loss of life because the “tiger cage” covered and closed with no way out. But it was not until the fire that occurred on Ton Duc Thang Street, Dong Da District, Hanoi on April 4, 2021, along with the involvement of the media, that the problem of “tiger cages” awakened many people. The fire that killed 4 people in a family – is one of the most damaging single house fires in recent times. According to reports from the scene, the incident happened during the night; the house had only one way out, the main door, which was blocked by the fire; The victims ran to the tum floor, the highest place, but could not escape because the “tiger cage” was sealed, and died here. More painfully, in the cry for help from the sea of ​​​​fire, many neighbors tried to reach the place where the victim was trapped but could not pass the “tiger cage” from the outside. “The attic is so strong, it’s impossible to save people” – the helpless lament of a neighbor who witnessed the fire was quoted in many newspapers in recent days, leaving many thoughts. And then, the image of “tiger cages” – familiar and abundant in big cities, appeared continuously in newspapers in reportages, with many concerns and questions. “Tiger cages” in old apartments in Hanoi. What about townhouses, what about apartments? In fact, townhouses also have more escape locations and opportunities, because there are many floors, especially the terrace is the easiest place to escape (of course, no “tiger cage”); The apartment building has only one exit to the common corridor. In case there is a fire that cannot escape to the front door but the loggia is sealed by a tiger cage (in fact, most old apartments are like that) it is extremely dangerous. It should be added that with old apartments with small premises, few private rooms, if there is a fire, the fire breaks out – occupying space very quickly. In Hanoi, many years ago, there was a proposal for an urban renovation project in old apartment buildings, including the removal of iron cages and tiger cages in the balconies of the loggias of the apartments. It can be seen that this is not easy, if not impossible. People still find convenience and privacy benefits more practical than other factors. Now, perhaps not many people talk about urban aesthetics anymore, but fire safety is a matter of concern. There have been proposals made to mitigate the consequences of “tiger cages” if there is an unfortunate fire; such as the fact that houses living close to each other, adjacent to organize an emergency exit to each other’s houses; or make small escape doors on the “tiger cage”, to use when there is a problem. But these proposals are also not easy to implement, because in urban areas, people are used to knowing that every house knows their own house, and the worry that the exit door will become “Asin’s heel” for crooks to take advantage of. Saying “tiger cage” is bad, affecting urban aesthetics is very easy. It is easy to say that the “tiger cage” should be removed to ensure safety in the event of a fire. But the “tiger cage” is a folk product, it is associated with the people with the psychology, the consciousness of taking advantage, the temporary… has been deeply imprinted; and exist in an insecure society with too many evils, the story cannot be overnight. And sometimes, it is the architectural experts, urban managers, people who do fire prevention and fighting are also … living in houses or apartments with “tiger cages”. When the writer is working on this article, on April 16, 2021, Vietnam Television – VTV gave a short news, talking about the fact that the authorities and police of Thanh Xuan district, Hanoi have piloted campaigning and propagating 3 wards in the district, for households living in apartments with “tiger cages”, implementing the open the exit door in the “tiger cage”. The initial campaign so far – after a year, 60% with about 2,000 households have agreed and implemented. This model is being replicated to other wards. That’s just a small number compared to tens/hundreds of thousands of houses and apartments with tiger cages in urban areas. But anyway it is a good sign, to see that people’s consciousness has also had certain changes. It has been suggested that the “tiger cage” is an urban aesthetic tragedy, and it has also caused a literal tragedy like the fire mentioned above. That’s not wrong. But it is very difficult to have a sanction that is strong enough and flexible to handle this issue thoroughly. And perhaps, in the future, the “tiger cage” is still present as an inevitable part of life, and is always looking for… a solution.

The 129m2 apartment located in Tan Binh district, Ho Chi Minh City is the nest of a young family. The owner wishes to have a comfortable, modern, simple but still impressive living space. The original condition of the apartment was 3 bedrooms. According to the needs of the owner, one bedroom has been converted into an office. The centerpiece of the apartment is the living room space connected to the dining room. The entrance hall area with a system of wall-to-ceiling cabinets saves space and takes advantage of storage space. To show the simplicity but still impressive, the architects chose deep tones for the apartment. Accordingly, the main colors are brown and gray; Black is used as accents and white helps to balance the visuals and avoids being too dark. The office behind the sofa in the living room is separated by a glass wall to create a sense of ventilation. The kitchen and dining area are located in the deep, lacking natural light, so white is preferred in the kitchen cabinets. The wood material in the ceiling and floor is brown and the walls are gray still the main color The kitchen area is separated, and connected to the dining table through a bar. The kitchen wall between the lower and upper cabinets is covered with black glass, and the black stone surface strongly contrasts with the white color of the kitchen cabinet system.

It is not uncommon for young people to own their own apartments and live alone in Vietnam. Tran Hang is an economically independent girl with a good job and stable income. In the past, she spent a period of time staying in hostels, wishing to have an apartment that she owned. After accumulating enough money, she turned her dream into reality. The apartment she bought is 70m2 wide, received raw handover, unpainted, no floor… Homeowners choose industrial style for their “peaceful place”. The design of the investor is 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms. Tran Hang only lives alone, has few guests, so he redesigned it into a master bedroom and a multi-purpose office, if there are guests, he will put a sleeping pad. During the stay, she had to move several times, she learned from her own experience, she should not buy too many things. Each time moving house will be very hard, the living space is stuffy. She is determined to make the interior as minimalist as possible. Living room to office. When you need to focus, pull the door back into a separate room like the next 2 pictures. This room is also a guest bedroom when needed. The owner has a set of mattresses, blankets, sheets and pillows available for guests to put in the master bedroom drawer. Her style is Industrial. A style that is very popular in Vietnam because it not only shows the bold nature but also helps the space become more elegant and sophisticated. The sofa set by design is white to stand out and match the kitchen, but after a while of hesitation, Tran Hang decided to choose a clean gray color. Mirrors with led back lights create accents, making the space magical and strange. Although he did not buy a TV, Tran Hang still installed ready-made receivers, the room later sold the house, the new owner could use it. If other design styles try to hide the rustic flaws, the Industrial style encourages it, it removes the cumbersome, extravagant things and only distills what is pure and necessary. for living space. The main feature to identify the Industrial style is the raw walls, natural wood-clad walls, or polished concrete walls… All have created a simulated factory space with simplicity but no less sophistication and attraction. Minimalist kitchen, not many things, so it looks neat. The washing machine is designed under the coffee-making corner. Besides, the use of light bulbs is a recognizable feature of the Industrial interior style. Designing large windows to take advantage of natural and healthy light sources is also one of the points people are interested in. One of the reasons that the industrial interior design style has received a lot of attention today is because of its uniqueness, seemingly simple design but full of implications. This design style requires a large amount of floor space and little furniture for the room. Folding dining table, can be made into a kitchen island. Industrial style colors are dark and the furniture and pieces are so strong that you only need to highlight some of the decor of the apartment. Metallic materials are painted black to create a strong look. Industrial style design also often uses leather upholstery such as stools, or sofas, etc. The interior of this style is required to be as minimal as possible, trees can also decorate a little to optimize the living space in the best way. The investor’s design has 2 bedrooms, but Tran Hang broke the wall and made it a multi-purpose room. In order to save time, Tran Hang hired a package designer, until the end of the day, just carry a few boxes of things in. However, she did not expect that the process of choosing kitchen equipment, toilets, water filters, air conditioners, floor tiles, wall tiles, etc. also took a long time. The desk uses black painted iron details – typical industrial style. She tinkered with home pages, forums and some furniture fairs to research and choose. After that series of days, Tran Hang also added a lot of knowledge about interior and design. The master bedroom does not use large cabinets, limiting details. The front WC has no glass door overlooking the bedroom. Architects beat the wall to replace it with glass doors, to make the room brighter and more airy. The total cost to complete the apartment, including electronics, is about 600 million VND. “I was lucky to meet a designer with a heart and satisfaction, so all stages were smooth,” Tran Hang said. Main WC in the bedroom. Tran Hang consults and buys equipment at the furniture fair. She added that young people who do not have much experience in home renovation and repair like me should look to a reputable and capable design unit. During the construction process, they will monitor and handle any technical problems that arise and have a warranty within a certain period of time. Extra WC outside the living room.

However, at that time, Hendrix did not think about the expensive living in New York, ranked 3rd in the 10 cities with the highest spending and housing prices in the world, according to research by consulting firm ECA International . While many friends move to more remote boroughs like Brooklyn or Queens to save money, Hendrix insists on living alone in midtown Manhattan. However, with a small amount of money provided by her parents, this 21-year-old girl can only live in a micro apartment. In New York, micro houses are only about 4.5-9 m2 wide and are usually suitable for single people. Hendrix found a 7 square meter apartment in the West Village for $1,345 a month. “The building is in the heart of the city, has fire exits and is the perfect space for a recent college graduate like me.” Liv Hendrix’s 7 square meter room. Micro-houses appeared in the US since 1987. However, after the Covid-19 pandemic broke out, these few m2 apartments became a trend. The majority of tenants are low-income groups or young single people. In New York, since 2015, the city government has been testing the My Micro NY micro-apartment model at 27th Street, Brooklyn Navy Yard in the Manhattan district. 22 out of 55 micro apartments are for low-income people. The remaining apartments are subject to commercial rents of over 3,000 USD/month. Make the most of every space In the small room, Hendrix’s bed took up most of the space. So during the day, she often doubles the bed, stacking extra mattresses and pillows around to turn it into a couch. This way helps Hendrix have more living and working space and correct the habit of sleeping in every morning. She had thought about using the attic as a place to sleep. “However, this option is not feasible because I am afraid that the attic will not support the weight or I may roll down at any time.” The kitchen area right next to the bed is where Hendrix does everything from brushing his teeth and washing his face to cooking, making coffee and washing dishes. “Although it’s a bit inconvenient, I still can’t get rid of the habit of drinking coffee every morning. I have to stand on top of the refrigerator to get coffee, water heater and make drinks right under the sink because there is no space at the counter.” . Without a closet, Liv Hendrix hangs clothes on a drying rack, hangs bags and shoes on the wall. After breakfast, Hendrix also cooked food for the day and cleaned the sink to use for other things. The 7 m2 room has no room for a wardrobe. Hendrix had to buy 2 drying racks to hang clothes for work. And her pajamas, underwear, accessories… were stored in a big box by her. All shoes and bags are hung on the wall by Hendrix. “Doing that gives both room and decoration.” The toilet and bathroom areas are also extremely cramped. Hendrix said she couldn’t put on makeup in the bathroom because there wasn’t enough light and storage. “One thing that annoys me is that the bathroom floor is always wet. I use the shower to shower in the morning but by the afternoon the floor is still not dry.” Do not receive guests at home Hendrix estimates his apartment can accommodate up to three guests, but with the condition, they can only sit still on the bed. Because of this inconvenience, she hardly ever invites guests to her house. “I have two friends who live downstairs, but we mostly meet in their more spacious room. If it feels too crowded, we can go down the street or to the park near our house.” Hendrix says the apartment’s central location is both a plus and a downside. The most obvious benefit is ease of movement. The Hendrix residence is full of everything from convenience stores, restaurants to parks, cinemas, and entertainment areas. View of New York City from Liv Hendrix’s apartment. “When the weather is nice, I like to sit for hours at Washington Square park. It’s so close to my apartment that it feels like a backyard. I also love living near the famous restaurants.” However, noise is one of the biggest minus points of the apartment. The space is not soundproof, making the noises from the traffic and the street seem to be amplified at night. “I have to play loud music to drown out the noise, but on terrible nights I have to use earplugs.” Hendrix says that micro apartments are definitely not the perfect choice. One day, she will also dream of houses with large living rooms, full refrigerators, wardrobes… However, small spaces also have their own advantages. “I have learned to keep only the items that are really necessary, limit shopping. In addition, I also find decoration very important because it can turn the apartment into my real home. “.

In the era of “small land, crowded people”, apartments are considered an effective solution to improve the problem of area and experience a new life on high. However, besides the convenience, when choosing an apartment, you also need to pay attention to the feng shui factor for a smooth, peaceful and prosperous life. Below, Fengjia feng shui will show 4 secrets to choosing apartment feng shui to bring prosperity into your apartment. Choose an apartment with a good view The apartment is like a big house with many rooms and many floors. That house needs to have feng shui advantages such as good direction, cool wind, avoid harsh sun, and have a setback commensurate with the road to reduce external impulses from entering the apartment space. Choose an apartment with a spacious road (space in front) Minh Duong is an important part of feng shui. The house does not have a clean and spacious road, even if the house has many good elements, it will not absorb the air field, it will also become a bad thing. For apartment buildings, roads are counted as empty areas in front. It can be green areas, small parks and, ideally, a lake as a place to play and rest for residents, as well as a setback to create a good view for outsiders when approaching. This is an important criterion when choosing an apartment as a place to live. Choose the direction of the apartment The direction of an apartment building is the direction perpendicular to the main entrance door of the apartment building, not the direction of the apartment doors. In our country, a beautiful apartment usually has a long side facing the South or Southeast, which will receive cool wind and stable light. The short sides facing the bad direction will help the apartments inside to minimize the influence of the westerly sun and hot wind. However, that is considering feng shui in general, and for each homeowner will have to follow the age to know if it is suitable or not. Choose a suitable apartment floor Choosing the right floor when buying an apartment to suit your age and destiny will bring auspicious and lucky for the owner. Whereby: Menh Thuy: Should choose apartments on the floor with number 1 and number 6 at the end. Menh Kim: the apartments on the floor have the last numbers 4 and 9. Menh Moc: Suitable for apartments on the floor with the last numbers 3 and 8. Fire Destiny: Only floors with the last numbers 2 and 7 should be selected. Destiny Earth: Choosing floors with the last number 5 and 10 will be very good. * Information is for reference only.

Unexpectedly, a year later, I had a green vegetable garden on an area of ​​3m2 of the balcony”, Mr. Nguyen shared. shall. Without much experience and knowledge about farming, for the past year, Nguyen has had to tinker with, learn the characteristics, and how to take care of plants. “Growing vegetables on the balcony will be much more difficult than growing on the terrace, because of the narrow area, lack of sunlight and constant cleaning. Fortunately, my balcony faces east, so it receives sunlight from morning to noon. This makes an important contribution to good green vegetables,” Nguyen said. According to Mr. Nguyen, soil is also an important factor to help plants grow well.

Usually, Swedish design is not too flashy but focuses on simplicity and minimalism. However, people in this Scandinavian country tend to prefer luxurious interiors. Because of their busy life and work, they want a space to relax and rest, a place that feels like “real home”. In the living room, designers Laven and Walgren arranged a set of wooden bookshelves to hide clutter and optimize sound quality. Before being redesigned, the apartment lacked the open space that customers wanted. To make up for that, Laven and Walgren have brought a new space with flexible French-influenced layouts with elegant parquet floors and luxurious plaster ceilings. The old-fashioned floors and cramped kitchen have also been redesigned in a minimalist way, decorated with wood and stone, giving a feeling of spaciousness and luxury. In private spaces such as bedrooms, Swedish sensibilities are preserved, focusing on function and clean lines. The color focuses on blues that are soothing to the eye. The desk is designed towards the window, giving the most light, and also has some potted plants and flowers to help increase the natural element. The bathroom has a bespoke marble floor and mirror area by Studio Lawahl, while the lights in the room come from the brand Vistosi. Another area in the bathroom is also covered with marble. In short, this design has been combined between Scandinavian minimalism and European elegance, but it still shows uniqueness.

Architectural Trends In a conversation with a female architect, she is the author of many drawings of houses and apartments filled with trees in many cities, I asked her if she had a common denominator of the personality of homeowners. are not. This female architect said that the vast majority of her clients are highly educated people who have an artist’s soul and love nature and plants. They are willing to narrow the space of the kitchen, bedroom, living room, to make room for natural space: skylights, rockeries, green areas… There are new 4-hour houses built new. divided into 2 floors, in the middle of the house where mango trees and milkweed trees have been planted for a long time and best of all, the architect has kept the status quo. Sitting in the house reading a book, drinking a cup of coffee under the tree, but feeling like sitting in the garden. The green space in the house creates a sense of relaxation for the people living in it Photo: DINH THU HIEN – CAM NHUNG Of course, implementing the difficult problem of designing a house so that it is beautiful and useful, that is the talent of the architect. There are green areas in the house after a period of operation that cannot be “fed”, because of lack of sunshine, must gradually be replaced with green patches of artificial grass. But that’s how life works. Must go to come. If you don’t dare to do anything, this life is too safe and boring. I once visited my sister’s house in District 7 (HCMC), looking at the small landscape of the aquarium and aquatic plants right in the living room on the ground floor, it was so beautiful, everyone who came to was captivated and admired forever. . It takes a lot of effort for the owner to maintain such beauty and comfort. Love enough, nature will innocently step in Many homeowners of green houses have really found pleasure and relaxation in taking care of trees, as a way of life balance. After a full day and a busy working week, many large families gather and divide the work to best preserve the green areas, as a concept of love and care for each other in a beautiful living space. Nowadays, you want to have green plants in your bedroom, office, kitchen… it’s also easy to do. Many varieties of plants suitable for growing indoors are for sale, easy to find and buy. The house has a large area, the owner can grow many trees. If space is limited, narrow, people can grow in small pots, put on the table, on the bed … Nature enters our homes in so many different ways. The water plant grown in a small glass bottle placed on the washbasin or bathroom shelf is also enough to add a little joy to waking up every morning. The space on the balcony is also wide enough to plant a few clusters of roses in pots, taken care of so that the flowers are regular and “fat” as desired. Potatoes that are cut in half to be placed in a glass bowl also sprouted and placed on a cute decorative kitchen shelf. A little grain of rice sprinkled in a small hand-held ceramic pot is placed on the desk, and the dining table feels warm. It’s as simple as that, but it doesn’t need to be expensive. Only when there is enough love, nature will spontaneously step into your home. Green space on the balcony Photo: DINH THU HIEN – CAM NHUAN Recently, a colleague took a photo to show off the dewdrop vines and bougainvillea plants planted on the balcony of the attic. In the middle of the golden sunshine of Ho Chi Minh City, the dew green color, the brilliant red color of bougainvillea make his attic light up, extremely beautiful.
