Understanding customers’ thoughts, Delution’s architects creatively designed a tube house with 2 mezzanines. Help the house to receive a lot of sunlight and good air circulation so that you can save energy from lights and air conditioners without spending too much. Specifically, the 6m wide tube house is located in a densely populated residential area in Tebet, Jakarta Selatan. Homeowners want architects to be able to create many small rooms in the house and later when conditions permit, they can still build higher without affecting the original structure. At the same time, the owner wants this house to have 3 floors but if viewed from the front, it has only 2 floors and is on par with other houses in the area. Therefore, the architects decided to divide the height of the floor, one floor of this house is only half the height of ordinary houses and will call this mezzanine. Each mezzanine will be built and designed to suit the requirements and pocket of the owner. From the first mezzanine to the last mezzanine is connected by a large space, which provides natural light and air to the house. Between the spaces are wooden stairs, the main way in the house; also family members can interact and talk directly from different floors without having to raise their voice. In addition to the indoor space, the architects also made a 1-meter-wide corridor running along the house from front to back to get light and natural air sources because the indoor space has glass doors installed on the ceiling. This hallway is also the place to place the water pump, bicycle, outdoor equipment and also the second entrance to the home. The house is installed with transparent glass on the ceiling to get the light source and the hallway is a resource for the house to always be naturally ventilated. The architects also installed many drainage systems in the house premises to prevent water from entering the house when it rains because the floor of the house is lower than the street level. In the house, on the first mezzanine floor is an integrated kitchen and dining room. To avoid limited space, the dining table is made in a folding style so that it can be expanded if needed. The wooden dining table can be opened and folded to expand the space. The folding table can be unfolded as needed for mobility with limited space. The kitchen and dining room on the first mezzanine floor can be seen through the bottom glass under the second mezzanine façade, so the people on the first mezzanine can see if anyone has come to the house. Each floor of the house is about the same height as a regular mezzanine. For the front area of ​​the house, the architect made the upper half of the house protrude 2.5m so that the first floor serves as a parking space and outdoor seating space. On the second floor, using a large curtained glass panel on the façade as the main bathroom, it also becomes an interesting facade element. The courtyard in front of the house. The bedroom space uses elegant and elegant white colors. The bottom glass panel at the foot of the first floor facade helps people inside the house to know if someone is outside without having to open the door. 1st floor design (1: Garden;

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.

The project was designed by Trinhvieta-Architects in a densely populated urban area in Ho Chi Minh City with the desire to create as much space as possible, providing an interesting living atmosphere. The architect’s idea was to rearrange the allowable space by taking two internal spaces from the main block, dividing them into several smaller blocks and attaching them back to make a balcony. In this way, they created an empty space that allows wind and natural light to flow to every nook and cranny of the house while keeping the required space. The house is 5 floors high and consists of 7 rooms, including 2 atrium rooms with private courtyards. These 7 rooms embrace 2 spaces inside with some balconies facing the outside. The interior void provides a private courtyard, laundry balcony and ventilation shaft while the exterior balcony with double-layer tile creates a “dual leather” facade that protects the home from tropical weather. The “dual leather” facade is combined with two layers, featuring glazed openings, hollow bricks in the balcony and greenery. This facade creates a sunshade, reduces heat radiation and provides a relaxing atmosphere. The design team tried to capture the feeling of a tropical home by creating some form of shading from tiled roofs, hollow brick walls or greenery… to reduce solar radiation and provide no air. Comfortable relaxing space where natural wind blows in. The location of the balcony and the studied trees is random and improvised, which makes the house a bit in harmony with the surrounding context. Through this project, the architect wishes to propose a solution for a life in a high-density tropical urban area, meeting the needs of space while still providing an interesting living environment “close to nature”. of course”. pear spring (According to the ArchDaily )

For a long time, gardening and drying rice have become a spiritual image associated with houses in Vietnamese villages; However, the process of urbanization is gradually changing this traditional architecture and space. Understanding these values, the architect team of TAA DESIGN designed a project called Red Roof House for a 50-year-old couple born and raised in the Quang Ngai village in 2019. It is known that Red Roof House is a mezzanine tube house on an area of ​​​​80m2, located next to the main road of the village. Due to the limited land fund, the architects have integrated many functions such as living room, kitchen, outdoor wood stove cooking area, bedroom, toilet, drying yard, granary, chicken yard,… The ground floor combines with a small courtyard in front, middle and back of the house to connect the spaces together Because the area of ​​the function rooms is quite small, the cooking area is open-air so that the house is well ventilated, preventing smoke and heat from the kitchen from entering. In particular, the group of architects designed the courtyard on the mezzanine floor into an agricultural garden cum roof. In the garden grow clean vegetables such as morning glory, squash, onions, cabbage, celery, … to provide for the family or for relatives and villages. In addition, the vegetable garden also plays a role in insulating the house, so that the temperature inside the house is significantly improved compared to the surrounding corrugated iron roof houses. Thanks to the uniqueness and creativity in the design of rural houses, the Red Roof project once won the award “Thematic about sustainable social-humanistic housing solutions” and resonated greatly. Ground floor design drawing (01: Bicycle; 02: Front yard; 03: Porch; 04: Living room; 05: Kitchen and dining room; 06: Middle courtyard; 07: Toilet; 08: Barn: 09) : Master bedroom: 10: Wardrobe; Backyard). Mezzanine floor design drawings (01: Stairs; 02: Changing room; 03: Bedroom; 04: Toilet; 05: Middle courtyard; 06: Space; 07: Vegetable growing area).

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:

With a construction cost of 800 million VND, many people think that the owner has spent a waste of money or was overpriced by the contractor. The outside looks simple, simple and nothing special. However, if you step inside, “take a look at the market” in every corner, everyone will surely praise. The owner of this project is Mr. Tran Duc Cong, a photographer. Mr. Cong said that the family initially only planned to renovate the level 4 house, but after the architect came to survey, the structure was degraded and could not be renovated. In the end, he chose the new construction option. The total area of ​​​​the house is 140m2 with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, garden, kitchen. Side view of the house. The house is divided into 2 areas. The front has 1 floor, which is a living room, kitchen, toilet and lawned courtyard. The rear part has 2 floors, is a bedroom, a bathroom. On the 2nd floor, there is a space connecting 2 parts, designed by the architect to be a place to drink tea and grow bonsai. The house has enough room for a family of 3 generations to live. Therefore, the common element is focused, but the private space is separate, ensuring quiet. The porch on the left is spacious, with a path leading up to the 2nd floor stairs. This staircase is in an arc shape, embracing the avocado tree. A special feature is the stairs built with bricks and plastered with cement, matching the layout of the house. The entire roof is covered with red tile, heat resistant. Around the house, the architect arranged a dark aluminum and glass door system, opening the door to catch the wind in the afternoon. Living room, kitchen on the same floor. The interior uses simple wooden furniture. Closed TV shelf integrated into a bookshelf. Large glass doors catch the wind, the porch is tiled, helping to block the sun. Every corner of the house is optimized for function. From here you can see the gate, the living room. Rustic garden. The staircase is the perfect highlight for the building. The porch is also installed two swings to cool off. Swing made of wood and braided rope. The sitting net stretched from the house to the side of the pole. Mr. Cong said that this net is quite strong and can withstand large loads. The staircase seen from above is quite beautiful, creating a unique feature. The space connecting the two areas is turned into a place to drink tea and plant trees. The house from above is quite striking. The sun shines on the 2nd floor terrace. Mr. Cong confided that he was very enthusiastic about the project. This design has a bit of the direction of the houses in the old quarter of Hanoi. The space helps the owner to relax, gather with his family and also give him inspiration for creative photography.

All stages from drawing up the design to processing are done by team members. Even, just doing it, team members also consult the community. The chamber is 1.2 m long, 2.4 m wide and 2.65 m high, enough for four medical staff to work together. Not only has the effect of cooling, this chamber also acts as a shield to protect medical staff when there is an air purification system and UV sterilization. The lights will be on for 8 minutes before the medical staff come to work. The cost to complete this product is both supported by team members and contributed by units and benefactors such as glass doors, air conditioners, germicidal lamps, etc. Mr. Khieu Huu Nghia – the group’s representative shared, when he and the whole group embarked on the implementation of this chamber, there were also many different opinions. Once completed, the sampling chamber will be moved to an isolation area in Bac Giang. After the medical staff use and give feedback, the team will proceed to further improve the details and features of the products. Besides Mr. Nghia’s group, in the past few days, another group of volunteers, former students of Thai Binh High School for the Gifted, are also providing training for the production of “experimental sampling cabins”. These are movable chamber models, which can be transported in different terrains. Each of these cabins will have 2 doctors sitting to take samples, measuring 1m long, 1m wide, 2m high, with air conditioning installed. Due to the advantages of available materials, these “test cabins” can be produced quickly and at low cost. The group plans to donate these cabins to the Hanoi CDC and Bac Giang epidemic center. Should be in the community In South Korea, this mobile testing booth was installed in March 2020, looks like a public phone booth. Each chamber is about 1m wide, about 2.5m high and weighs 230kg, with a medical staff working… This idea is considered very effective. Korean press, newspaper Korea Herald It is also reported that this mobile test chamber is being used in many places in Korea and countries such as Malaysia, Thailand, Japan, Italy and the Philippines. In the hot days of early June, when doctors and medical staff had to cope with the weather and overwork, many people thought of the idea of ​​making this laboratory in Vietnam. The social network even strongly shared the image of Korea’s “Covid-19 testing cabin” in which medical staff took samples without wearing hot protective gear, quite comfortably taking samples for Covid-19 testing for patients. citizen. The reason this image has been shared a lot is because of the recent hot sunny days, the image of medical staff wearing tight protective gear, exhausted from taking samples in the hot sun makes the community feel sorry and wish. There are solutions to help them out. On the morning of June 4, discuss with PV Infonet , Deputy Minister of Health Nguyen Truong Son said, “During very severe weather like the past time, the outdoor temperature to 39-40 degrees Celsius has greatly affected the health of medical staff, students, and health workers. employees working directly in the community. This is a great concern of the Standing Department.” Deputy Minister Nguyen Truong Son said that in Bac Giang, there was a plan to fix it by installing army field tents with an area of ​​​​12m2, with 4 windows, and an air conditioner inside. 4 medical staff taking samples still wearing protective gear stood out to take samples. In the context and conditions of Vietnam, Deputy Minister Nguyen Truong Son said that ‘the job of sampling cabins should only be done in the community. And at key points, if it is necessary to take samples at noon, on hot sunny days, there are tents.”

Obviously, the white color has an outstanding advantage for the space of a kitchen. Not only makes the kitchen feel clean and spacious, the white kitchen is also easy to combine with the furniture and accessories available on the market. However, talented architects can still help color lovers be satisfied with convenient, clean kitchens that still show the owner’s personality, perhaps simply by adding a playful array of colors. The architect has created peace for the kitchen by using white color. But the secret to making the attic kitchen warm is to use only white around, while in the center, bench tops, kitchen countertops, kitchen counters are used yellow, natural wood color. , combined with swivel chair with leather night and rustic wood paneling. For those who love the rough Scandinavian look, pale walls and raw wood are as elegant as ever. If you want something a little out of the way, the black doors add contrast, while giving it a rustic, industrial feel. While leading Nordic designers never gave up their favorite white for wooden fixtures and kitchen walls, the style has now been updated with splashes of color, as in the design. this. This can be considered as the mainstream approach to modernizing the look of Nordic kitchens. And if you’re a fan of simplicity, a few key pieces of yellow look great on the kitchen floor in a dark blue-gray (aka French gray). If you want to stick with a single base color, yellow will add a year-round summer feel to any outfit. For a bolder choice, you can create a mid-century feel by drawing inspiration from Dutch artist Mondrian, who is famous for his use of basic blocks of color interspersed with black and white. Be bold in innovation with bright colors. As you can see, orange looks lovely and stands out, especially when paired with white. If you want an impressive kitchen space, you can apply to your kitchen this year’s favorite light pink and gray color combination, which is often used in the living room or bedroom. The outstanding advantage of this combination is that your kitchen will stay modern while remaining elegant in any modern home space.

The house in Long Khanh City (Dong Nai) was born with such a purpose. The person who made the drawing is architect Nguyen Do Anh Quy. The width is narrow, but the architect makes the most of the space, adding a side garden corner. Mr. Quy chose warm brown tones for the house. However, the house is not too dark but still gets natural light from the skylight and stairs. Besides, the living room is arranged as an open space, with domes, high ceilings and large windows to keep the room airy. With the garden next to it, the architect can arrange many glass doors in the kitchen and living room. Particularly, the large glass door in the kitchen also helps to effectively deodorize. The indoor Taiwanese eagle tree (this tree rarely sheds leaves) and combined with the green space, both create accents for the living room and help the homeowner feel comfortable every time they step in. The stairs look like they are suspended. The stairs use wooden borders and transparent glass, synchronizing the overall color of the house and making the space more spacious and spacious. Under the stairs, the architect made a small corner, helping the family have a special corner to “chill”. With this design, looking at us, we feel that the stairs are “floating” in the air, but in fact the entire staircase is supported by a large pillar below. Under the stairs arranged into a place to sit and drink tea. Mr. Quy said that the owner wants the interior to be simple, with few distracting details but to ensure the comfort of a 5-star hotel. The architect used a few more lamps with the colors of the Vietnamese countryside. A small garden, where the family watches the stars, drinks tea or eats BBQ. This area is installed with a heat-resistant roof system and an iron frame for growing climbing plants. The dome has the effect of helping the ceiling to be higher and more airy. Modern living room with skylight. Plants that can be grown indoors, bring fresh air and ensure freshness. The bathroom is large, with a large window for sunlight. When finished using, the owner opens the door for air circulation. Thus, the toilet area is always clean and dry. The bedroom is cozy and light. The sofa set in the bedroom is made of rattan and wood, bringing a lot of the breath of the Vietnamese countryside. L shaped wardrobe. This is also a dressing room, separated from the bedroom by wooden columns. The TV cabinet separates the sofa set from the bed.

Reportedly, the old building was remodeled into short-term resort apartments to attract nature-loving tourists in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City. To make a difference for the building, the architects had to find a way to break down the rough lines of the previous concrete facade, turning them into a green oasis in the crowded city with winding lines. soft. At the same time, instead of expanding the built area of ​​the previous work, the architects decided to keep the large void of the site, respecting most of the existing plants and creating space for many people. more stuff. Structural columns and beams were left in place, while all unnecessary elements were removed to create more space for daylight, greenery and natural ventilation. The undersides of the balconies are lined with wood, which adds a natural look to the building. Lush vines descend from the building’s undulating balconies, creating a green façade that brings in fresh air and relaxation. The balconies overlook the pool on the ground floor and have the same curves as the building’s exterior, where guests can soak in the tranquil surroundings. At night, the lights cast shadows on the upper balconies. A curved path leads guests through the lush courtyard and into the lobby, where large curtain walls blur the line between inside and outside. Onion designed lighting system is installed on the concrete floor and on the ceiling, guiding guests to their private apartments. Inside the apartments, the architects have clad the rooms with traditional, eco-friendly materials such as rattan, wood and local stone. In the bedroom, there is a transparent sliding glass door design so that guests can enjoy the green balcony. Furniture in the room is mainly made of wood to create a friendly and cozy feeling.

Ancient city of Hanoi. In the early years of the 20th century, the Indochine architectural style was born. This style is a cross between French culture and local culture. If one has the opportunity to step into the old houses in the old quarter, it is not difficult to recognize this architectural feature in some corners. Currently, the Indochinese style is still in vogue but with more modern and fresh colors. A family has lived in the group of Hang Voi street (Hoan Kiem, Hanoi) for many years. From living habits, the rhythm of life is very familiar and do not want to move to another area. They want a new apartment in style and comfort. In particular, showing the “range” of the owner but still keeping the old features of the house. Before this request, architect Huy Do and design team A8 advised the family to renovate the apartment in Indochinese style. After a period of research and design, the old apartment building has had a spectacular makeover. Huy Do shared, when applying this style, the design team tries to refine the most quintessential features, ensuring full functionality but still maintaining a delicate aesthetic. Interior materials are mainly industrial wood mixed with natural wood. The living room, reception hall are tiled with cement tiles, the bedroom and kitchen use wooden floors. The living room and the worship room are two separate spaces, separated by a bamboo curtain but still connected. The architects used ancient patterned cement tiles, with sofa sets, TV cabinets from wood and lattice rattan, bearing Vietnamese imprints. Paintings of Indochinese girls, period paintings, tropical floral motifs, arched doors… are typical of this design style. The wooden floor matches the interior and the door. Dining table set for 6 people, bird cage chandeliers create accents for the dining area. The architects take advantage of the open space design, making the apartment more airy. From the dining table looking straight to the door and living room, observing every corner of the house. Kitchen cabinets, island table with white stone and fish scale blue stone. There are large windows to catch the sun and circulate air for the whole apartment. Cozy bedroom, the wood paneling on the headboard is cut by CNC machine. The rounded lines continue to work, helping homeowners feel comfortable when resting and bringing vitality. In the room, there is a neoclassical bathtub, a gilded shower. Baby bedroom, just ensuring to keep the style of the house but no less cute and comfortable. Small bathroom, using a yang washbasin, placed on a circular stone slab.

Located in a densely populated urban area in Ho Chi Minh City, the house was created with the desire to create as much space as possible, providing an interesting living atmosphere. The architect’s idea was to rearrange the allowable space by taking 2 internal spaces from the main block, dividing them into smaller blocks and attaching them back to make a balcony. In this way, the architect created an empty space that allows wind and natural light to flow to every corner of the house while keeping the required area. The house is 5 floors high, including 7 rooms, including 2 atrium rooms with private yard. These 7 rooms embrace 2 spaces inside with some balconies facing the outside. The interior void offers a private courtyard, a laundry balcony and a ventilation shaft. Meanwhile, the outside balcony along with the double-layer brick creates a “dual leather” facade that protects the townhouse from tropical weather. The location of the balcony and the trees are randomly studied to help the building have something in harmony with the surrounding context. The bedroom is simple and bright. The terrace is designed with many green plants. Photo source: Hiroyuki Oki Video: House 25m2- opportunity to have a house for many people? Source: VTV24

As a matter of fate, the small town boy, who feels most comfortable living among the nameless trees in the tropical forests along the Truong Son mountain range, has won a literary translation with his book. Restlessness , eventually became inseparable from the main work of his life, which was theoretical and applied research in the field of urban structure. With his own efforts, he was awarded a prestigious award The Donald Robertson Memorial Prize 2000 of the world’s leading journal of urban studies, Urban Studies, together with Professor Patrick Wakely (UCL), for their work on Position-Quality theory (SQTO). Architect Hoang Huu Phe In Vietnam, he participated in planning and designing many projects, among them the Central Circus in Hanoi, the Can Tho University, the headquarters of the Institute of Petroleum, the new urban areas Trung Hoa – Nhan Main, North An Khanh (Splendora), Cai Gia – Cat Ba tourist urban area, and many other works, especially high-rise buildings in Hanoi and other cities in the country. The stories that were discussed hotly in Hanoi for a while, such as the idea of ​​​​walking street, building an apartment building in Trung Hoa Nhan Chinh urban area, expanding Hanoi … are all related to him – an architect with many experience of the big outside world and a desire to do more for cities in Vietnam through contributions to urban structure theory. Hoang Huu Phe was born in 1954, is an architect and planner. He studied respectively at the Faculty of Architecture, Kiev National University of Civil Engineering, the Department of Residential Planning at the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) and the Department of Development Planning, University of London (UCL). He received his PhD in Urban Planning in 1998 in London and has published internationally in the fields of architecture, residential placement, urban structure, real estate, urban renewal and policy.

Where do skyscrapers come from? Historically, high-rise buildings have been the place to preserve the value of a great religion or empire. For example, the Giza pyramid complex – built to house the tomb of Pharaoh Khufu – used to be more than 145 meters high. It was the tallest man-made structure for nearly 4,000 years, before being surpassed by the 160-meter-tall Lincoln Cathedral in the 14th century. Other ancient structures such as the Potala Palace of Tibet or the monasteries of Athos were all built on top of the mountain, with man’s ambition to touch closer to heaven. However, according to CNN, the definition of “high-rise building”, the forerunner of skyscrapers, was only really born in the 20th century. Famous architect Richard Rogers once said that the 20th century was unified. Ruled by innovation and science, with powerful impacts in every sector, including construction. According to Carol Willis, director of New York’s Skyscraper Museum, in the late 1800s, industrialization pushed urban populations and land prices up, prompting large-capacity buildings to be built in Limited space becomes the optimal solution to save costs. Meanwhile, the American technological revolution from 1880 to 1890 saw an explosion of new inventions, helping architects to build taller, stronger buildings. The birth of the Bessemer steelmaking method allowed the design of the frame to be taller and more flexible than the cast iron of the previous era. The newly invented water system has helped buildings to break the strict 23 meter height limit that was in place to control fire risk. In particular, the patent for AC power has allowed electric elevators to operate at a height of up to 10 floors. Thanks to that, in the 1880s, the first generation of skyscrapers officially appeared in Chicago and New York. Thanks to that, America, the land of dreams, is believed to be the birthplace of modern skyscrapers. Architects Louis Sullivan and Dankmar Adler first coined the term “high-rise office building” in 1896. Accordingly, based on Renaissance architecture, the buildings were built up to 10 floors. with the first two floors being the main hall and stalls, some services located in the basement, the upper floors “stacked”, ending with a roof or attic placed on top, with a piping system. vertical conductor linking the building to the power source, heat. Later, the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) maintained a set of criteria for defining tall buildings, defining it as a multi-storey structure designed for residential and commercial use. or manufacturing operations. Built after the great fire of 1871, the 12-story Home Insurance building in Chicago – completed in 1884 by William Le Baron Jenney – is now considered the first high-rise of the industrial era. In the next 100 years since the inauguration of the Home Insurance building, the United States has always been the “gathering” of the world’s tallest buildings. In New York alone, the world’s tallest building record was broken six times between 1908 and 1931 – with the height of the structures having doubled, from the Singer Building to the Building Empire State. Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world today, a symbol of the pinnacle of modern skyscraper architecture. Photo: CNN. Why do skyscrapers exist? After just over a century, domination of the “skyscraper” market has gradually shifted from the US to the Eastern Hemisphere. Malaysia was the first country to break the US record for the tallest buildings in the world when the Petronas Twin Towers were completed in 1998. The Taipei 101 building of Taiwan, China is the next building to hold this record, starting in 2004. Currently, the 163-storey Burj Khalifa, which rises more than 800 meters above the Dubai sky, has become the New symbol of the world’s skyscrapers arena. CNN points out that, more than the purpose of building offices or houses, more than demonstrating the economic and technological levers that profoundly affect construction architecture, skyscrapers like Petronas or Burj Khalifa are also is a symbol for “I” – a measure of brand value. In a report presented at the 2007 CIB World Tall Buildings Conference, expert Eldemery Ibrahim said that the development of tall buildings is also a symbol of power, status, and prestige. As analyst Sorkin in his Architectural Record once wrote, “the historic race to the sky reveals the contrast of tradition and modernity, influencing ‘structure’, even culture, and politics. of a land”. Not only that, the official website of the Burj Khalifa Building, confidently asserts: “Not only is the tallest building in the world, Burj Khalifa is also an unprecedented example of international cooperation, a symbol of prosperity. progressive and a symbol of a new, dynamic and prosperous Middle East. More than that, it is tangible evidence of Dubai’s growing role in a changing world.” Also, today, it is a fact that not all the space inside the skyscrapers is used. The term “vanity height” was coined by CTBUH in 2013 to describe just that, describing the height difference between the top of a skyscraper and the highest usable floor. According to CTBUH, about 29% of the area of ​​the Burj Khalifa Building has a frivolous height. Nine other high-rise buildings in the US, China and the UAE also had a height unavailable ratio of 28% to 36%. According to CTBUH, 61% of the world’s skyscrapers would lose their super-tall building status without this frivolous height. This makes the media, including many big names like BBC, Daily Telegraph and some architectural experts doubt the necessity of building skyscrapers, when it does not necessarily meet the purpose. Initially, the high-rise buildings aimed at serving people’s needs. However, a remark made by architect Louis Sullivan in 1896 somewhat overturned these doubts: “What is the principal characteristic of a high-rise office building? It was lofty arrogance. That should be the height. Power and strength must be there, aura and arrogance must be there. It has to be a proud subject and soars to every inch, straight from bottom to top as a single unit without a single line of deviance.” The number of skyscrapers will decrease in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Photo: CNN. New definition of “skyscrapers” in life “new normal”? In 2014, the world entered a period of boom in the number of skyscrapers, with nearly 100 buildings over 200 meters tall being built. According to research site The Towel Info, in recent years, developed countries have emerged as centers of new generation high-rise buildings, especially in urban areas of Japan or China, where An inch of land is more precious than gold. According to CTBUH, 191 “ultra-tall” skyscrapers – a term that describes buildings at least 300 meters tall – have been completed. Although skyscrapers started out as an American phenomenon, the Middle East and Asia – especially China – currently dominate the skyscraper construction market. CTBUH data shows that China accounts for more than half of all new skyscrapers built in 2020 that are 200 meters or more in height, while Dubai has more new skyscrapers by far than any other city. other. However, the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic seems to be slowing down the racing track of skyscrapers, because the higher the number of floors, the higher the construction cost. According to CNN, all buildings reach a limit where adding an extra floor will cost more to build than it will make in profit. William Clark and John Kingston – two economists and architects – once asserted in 1930 that the maximum profit height for a skyscraper in New York in 1920 was no more than 63 stories. Thus, buildings that exceed the ceiling height (from time to time) will show that investors are overestimating the profits that can be obtained from the construction of new buildings. So far, that’s still true. For the same reason, in 2020, the number of new skyscrapers built globally will decrease by more than 20%. CTBUH attributed this drop to COVID-19, when projects around the world were “paused” because of the persistently imposed blockade and distance orders. “As tall buildings often depress economic indicators, any impact that economic conditions or market disruptions might have on projects that are just starting, or under construction in 2020, will be visible,” said CTBUH. “It must be remembered that the economic crisis of 2008 was not hastily reflected, but the decline in building construction was only recorded until 2010 and 2011,” the CTBUH report said, warning. about the risk of delay, even stopping the progress of a series of skyscrapers due to the decrease in investment capital because of the pandemic. However, CNN still believes that the records of skyscrapers will continue to be broken, because their value lies not only in return on investment, but also in prestige and brand. “The role of skyscrapers is divided into two halves,” explains Hong Kong-based architect Simon Chan, because “every city wants to have a landmark that offers a distinct cultural feel, rather than a settlement. mere material needs”.

Bungalow is a type of one-story house with a wide porch and is often found in resorts, high-class resorts or homestays. Bungalow is 35m2 wide, where 4 members live, including parents and 2 children. Anh Huy shared, Bungalows are often designed to be separate, small in area and have a fairly simple structure. Bungalow has an area from 15m2 to 150m2 depending on the number of people staying. A house like this brings closeness, rusticity, a little taste of the old country. The main materials for the Bungalows are quite diverse: Bamboo, cork, wood … used for the body, the pillars. Roof tiles, leaves… used for roofing. The use of natural materials helps the house to be airy, creating a feeling of being environmentally friendly. A sample Bungalow at the resort. Because it was built for a long-term stay, Huy changed the body of the house with bricks and concrete, then covered with wood. Thus, the house ensures solidity and sustainability. The outer wall is used with imitation wood tiles, creating a closeness to the village. Inside, there is enough room for 4 people to sleep, and there are 2 bathrooms. “The Bungalow house in the summer is very cool and airy,” Huy informed. Finishing costs range from 150 to 300 million VND, depending on the needs and requirements of the owner. With his family’s apartment, Huy costs about 300 million VND. “My parents have a land of 1000m2. My brothers and sisters built a house each on this land. I choose Bungalow because the demand is not much. Normally I live in Hanoi, only come back at weekends but but I don’t have much to use. Since the epidemic, my wife and I are almost here,” Huy said. This bungalow has an area of ​​35 m2 with 1 bedroom and 1 loft. The foundation is made of concrete, surrounded by stone. The interior space is minimalist, mainly serving sleep, rest and no kitchen. In the 1000m2 plot of land, families set up a common kitchen, serving daily needs as well as gatherings. The walls and ceiling are all wood paneled. The landscape is being renovated, grassed and more fruit trees planted. The walkway uses white stone, with roughness, creating friction and preventing slipping on a rainy day.

Located about 20 km west of Paris, France, the Palace of Versailles is world famous for its massive and splendid design. King Louis XIII chose architect Louis Le Vau, decorator Charles Lebrun and landscape designer André Le Nôtre to be in charge of building the palace. To complete the work, King Louis XIII mobilized 36,000 workers to work. 6,000 horses were used to transport construction materials from all over France to the construction site of the Palace of Versailles. The finest and most unique materials were used to construct the Palace of Versailles. In 1682, the lavish, splendid palace of Versailles was completed. Construction costs were at least 100,000,000 livre (the currency in circulation in France at that time). According to calculations by experts, this amount converted at the current exchange rate is about 200-300 billion USD. With such a large amount of money, the Palace of Versailles overwhelmed many people with 2,300 rooms, 2,513 windows, 67 stairs and 483 mirrors. In particular, the mirror hall (also known as the “Grand Gallery”) is one of the most famous rooms in the Palace of Versailles when there are 17 giant mirror arches. Each mirror arch is assembled from 21 mirrors. In the grounds of the Palace of Versailles, there are 55 lakes and 600 fountains. Inside the Palace of Versailles there are about 6,000 paintings placed in more than 2,000 rooms. In 1979, UNESCO recognized the Palace of Versailles – the largest royal palace in the world as a World Cultural Heritage.

An old and somewhat scary warehouse in the suburbs of Fitzroy in Melbourne (Germany) has been transformed into a fairy-tale house by EAT architects, headed by Eid Goh and Albert Mo. worker. The architect kept the outer surface of the warehouse, which was covered with vines interlaced on the walls as well as layers of dense trees in the yard so that occupants could feel one with nature. . The interior of the warehouse is redesigned in a modern style that the architect says: “The architecture is influenced by Venetian and Brazilian modernism anecdotes.” Accordingly, the main circulation space in the warehouse is divided into walkways leading to the inner courtyard, where there are dense vegetation and vines. The rust layer on the wall is also kept by the architect to create an old feeling for the warehouse. The ground floor of the warehouse is designed as a bar, where people can focus on eating and reading while the upper floor is the children’s bedroom area. “Old meets new everywhere, but the general feeling is that this is a home that has always been there. Tactile materials, natural colors and surfaces come together in a whole that feels comfortable and pleasant to the touch,” expressed the architect. A concrete core pillar in the center of the warehouse is fitted with a wooden staircase, leading to the laundry, bathroom and storage areas. The architect said that the usable details in the warehouse will be used to the fullest, combined with the interior with similar colors to create a unified whole but no less comfortable and new.

The 4-bedroom villa in Ho Chi Minh City designed by female architect Bich Huyen since 2017 has many unique features, especially the 40m2 wide skylight courtyard located in the middle of the project. The owner is an elderly woman who loves nature very much, likes open space, modern. Ms. Huyen shared, the house was built on a piece of land with an area of ​​7.5-8x22m, the house was built with 2m behind, 2m in front. Instead of making a front or back yard, the architect placed the courtyard on the central axis of the site. The house was built on a split floor around the yard. The garden area has an automatic sliding roof system, the owner can adjust the opening – closing to get the wind. When it rains, the sliding roof closes, ensuring the yard remains dry. Ground floor is garage, warehouse, auxiliary works, living room, swimming pool, garden. The house faces the North, with little sunlight, so Huyen arranges glass in the front. Behind the house is the extended south direction, taking maximum cool wind for the house. To ensure the sustainability of the building, the architect uses pressed pile foundations. Pile foundation is a form of foundation construction based on reinforced concrete square piles, using specialized machines to press piles deep into the ground. This type of foundation is very strong, can be used on soft ground and has good durability, suitable for high-rise townhouses. Homeowners often receive guests, meet relatives at the green skylight. The kitchen is located “climbing” above the swimming pool. The kitchen is located above, forming a roof for the swimming pool below. How to design such a swimming pool, helps to save maximum space and area. The hanging garden is located on the hallway. Relaxing corner in the garden. “Although it has been built for 4 years, the villa is still quite new now, because the owner has kept it very carefully,” Huyen said.

This house in Paris looks like it’s melting. This is practically a monumental work of local art. The ‘house’ – actually a sculpture – is built on two large stone blocks, combined to form the ceiling and wall of the ‘house’ This hotel in the Dutch capital Amsterdam is designed as a collection of dozens of castles stacked on top of each other. ‘Upside down house’ in the city of Brighton, England is used as a recreation (mirror house) The building in Prague, Czech Republic is designed with a strange shape, true to its ‘slang’ – ‘Dance Building’ This wavy building is a shopping center in the city of Sopot, Poland. This ‘ultra-thin’ building is a small apartment building in London, England. This deformed building is an event center called ‘Keep Memorable Forever’ in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. It seems that this building in Israel has all the round, square, triangle, semicircle, hexagonal shapes…

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. Living in that scene, young people’s minds must also be equipped with optimism and joy to continue with their daily lives in this urban city. People always want to be close to nature Some people think that only the rich, who have enough conditions, can create their own green space in the house. As for those who have a material life that lacks many things, they only focus on making a living, but have little energy to think about taking care of trees. Agree that when the material life gets better, people easily focus on improving their spiritual life. But people like to live close to nature. Ever since ancient times, when leaving the village to go to the city, the houses in the streets of our grandparents have always been filled with green, not only by the fruit trees planted in the yard but also by the ornamental plants: The birth tree is bent like the dragon and the phoenix. On New Year’s Day, you must bring apricot trees, kumquat trees … into the living room to enjoy. There is no need to wait until the money is full, the love of nature is full, then the hobby and the appreciation for trees and nature appear!

In particular, the use of soft curves in the design helps the apartment bring a distinct nuance. The main colors are white and wood brown. Architect Anh Quy shared, the main color of the apartment is white and wood, combined with many specially created curves to create accents. The LED lighting system creates a beautiful, delicate, warm and luxurious space. The living room, kitchen and dining area are designed into an open space to increase the connection between family members. The living room is simply designed to suit the area, the main highlight is two unique Chubby-trending sofas. The architect takes advantage of the open space design, creating a connection between the indoor areas. With a moderate area, only small items should be arranged for daily activities The kitchen area puts neatness and comfort on top. The highlight is the pea-shaped kitchen island, the kitchen is fully equipped with large cabinets above and below for convenient storage. “Although it is an open space, the dining area is divided with the kitchen and living room by using two different types of bricks,” said architect Anh Quy. The dining room is invested by the owner with special highlights. The floor tiles are terrazzo tiles with the same texture as the terrazzo of the dining table, which is both beautiful and uniform. Right at the tile switch position is a very impressive underfloor LED system, which brings a new feeling and does not create a sense of awkwardness. Round design, sliding doors make a difference for the apartment. The owner is a very personable person, so he likes the space to leave something different. The wall of the Master bedroom has been demolished and rebuilt with charming curves. In addition, the room door was changed to a sliding door system to optimize the area. Just open the sliding door, the living room and bedroom will increase the connection with each other. Right outside the Master bedroom is the direct direction to the living room, when you need to increase connectivity, just open and slide the door to a corner, very convenient. Master bedroom and small bedroom both follow the trend of simplicity and beauty, including only the necessary items and two main tones of white and wood. Some details are used by the architect to use trellis such as cabinets, beds. The rounded corners help the apartment m softer. Hard dry walls look more alive thanks to the curvilinear solution.

These are two duplex villas in a project area, built on two floors with two separate stair systems. Lakeside location with a very nice view behind the house. When working with the architect, the owner requested to merge the two villas into one with two master rooms but only one system of stairs and elevators, convenient for traffic of all spaces in the house. Homeowners also share that they like bold, strong and cozy tones. Dining room. Kitchen. When surveying the status quo, the architect realized the value of the view from the back of the house to the lake and proposed a solution to arrange two master spaces on two floors behind the house so that the owners can enjoy the beautiful view, at the same time. Time from each room can access the ladder system in the best way. The front space will arrange additional spaces. Bedroom 1. Home office area in bedroom 1. Bath and toilet block in bedroom 1. Walk in closet of bedroom 1. Regarding the interior, also based on the color preferences of the owner, the architect recommends using dark brown and black tones as the main color, combined with gold and bordaux red accents to create warmth. pressure, luxury. Gradient and rust effect paint materials add lively options for family members of different ages. The wood is not painted with PU but uses an oil-infused paint, making the wood appear to be stained with time naturally. Looks more sentimental but still protects the material well. Furniture is custom built and selected from well known brands. Different views of the master bedroom. Walk in closet and toilet block of master bedroom. Thus, in this project of renovating and combining two villas into one, based only on the needs of the owner and with sufficient intervention, the architect brought about appropriate changes. A luxurious, comfortable and cozy new space has been formed. Design: Architect Ngo Ky Chu, Architect Le Tan Phong, TD Solutions

Floating Seahorse, Dubai: This villa is designed in the theme of a houseboat with 3 floors. The upper 2 floors are completely floating on the water and 1 floor is completely submerged below the sea surface. Brought in by Kleindienst Group and design specialists, the villa is part of the Heart of Euro resort on the Dubai coast. For the outer hull, the architects used three main materials: tempered glass, steel and acrylic sheet. However, attaching the hull and acrylic panels is a challenge that requires a flexible and durable mounting material. There are only 3 companies in the world that provide this material for the technological requirements of the project. The villa consists of 2 bedrooms under the sea, an outside terrace for sunbathing and a roof made from Jacuzzi glass. About 50 such floating houses will welcome visitors by the end of this year and 131 villas are planned Expected to be completed in 2017. The floor-to-ceiling glass panel is only 9.5cm thick, making you feel like there is no distance between you and the ocean outside. However, the glass is not resistant to underwater pressure, instead acrylic material has been used because of its durability and transparency like glass. Inspired by the mystery of the sea, Kleindienst researched underwater projects for decades until his dream came true in 2008 as part of the seaside project “The World”. Dubai. This floating house was designed by Singaporean architect Dymitr Malcew. Each part of the house is very solid with pure water system and electricity generated from solar panels. When designing the Floating Horse villa, one of Dymitr Malcew’s main purposes was to complete the surrounding area of ​​the house. Inspired by nature, the design aims to highlight the natural setting with transparent walls like glass and wooden frames. The villa can rise and fall to the rhythm of the tide, designed by architect Dymitr. The house is built on a steel buoy floating on the water. An engine installed in the house allows its owner to travel the world and still feel at home. Citadel, Westland: This is an ambitious project by Dutch designers and the Citadel is Europe’s first floating building. As part of the New Water project, which includes the construction of 6 floating buildings, the designs are all geared towards adapting to floods and rising sea levels. The building consists of 180 compartments built on a concrete foundation that can float on water. Additionally, with its highly efficient design, the building consumes 25 percent less energy than a typical building of the same size. Randall T. Fennell, Portland: Crafted from red cedar, Randall T. Fennell sits gracefully by the Willamette River in Portland, Oregon. The roof is carved to create curves like water waves, making the house more eye-catching and attractive. Beams and beams are added to the design, along with a delicately curved wooden roof. The private deck leads to an outdoor patio with a great location to watch the sunset. The space inside the house is 200 square meters with a design like a sail and white walls. A large floor-to-ceiling window allows the occupants to enjoy the views over the river.

The house is located in a new resettlement area in Nha Trang, a coastal city with white sand and clear water. Nha Trang is also famous for its fisheries that are part of the post-tourism economy. However, it is facing problems such as loss of traditional occupations due to rapid urbanization. On the contrary, the building chooses a different way to address the challenges and orients the house in a socially responsible way. Accordingly, the architect proposes to build a small house that optimizes basic functions to leave space for the front yard and backyard as a place for family members to operate according to traditional occupations. It also creates a play place for the little ones. In addition, the architects also proposed a façade with a flexible structure to avoid sunlight from the west and the user can open and close at will. The flexible facade consists of twelve modules with steel frames and wooden shutters. The peculiarity of a house facing the West is that the air is cool all day, by the West – South wind, one of the main winds of Nha Trang, except in the afternoon when the house is burned. The façade creates a space that brings users closer to a traditional Vietnamese house with iconic porches and moldings. Limited budget is also a concern with the final cost of about $35,000 (about 800 million VND). Therefore, two solutions to reduce costs are using recycled materials and lending space. As for the finishing, the architect used raw materials without finishing layers, making the house more rustic and intimate. In addition, wood panels from the old house are reused to create furniture such as the kitchen, sofa, table and steps of the stairs. The solution for a small house is to lend the space instead of dividing the house into small spaces. As a result, construction costs are significantly reduced.

The house is located in Ota area (Japan) built in 2016 on an area of ​​​​229m2 with a rather strange structure. The house is located in a shopping street. The east side of the house has a road, the south side is a 3-storey apartment building. The house is divided into two independent parts. Part is the living space of the mother, and the other part is for the son and small family. The house is designed with the purpose of being able to be converted to rent. The mother is on the first floor, while the couple’s son, wife and children are on the second and third floors. On the second floor, the owner arranges a living room with a small front yard. The third floor is the couple’s bedroom, the children’s bedroom and the bathroom. The first floor of the house has a balcony above. The 2nd floor is located in the middle as a piece between the two surfaces of the 1st and 3rd floors. To absorb light inside the first floor, the architect designed a sloping roof and a skylight along the edge of the roof. On the 2nd floor, this sloping roof becomes a slanted wall blocking the eyes of people living in the neighboring apartment. Along the edge of the balcony on the 2nd floor, green trees are planted to create a highlight of the green space. In the case of this house, the architect used a 3-dimensional form to ensure privacy and keep a distance from the surrounding houses. The architect believes that the design of the house in the middle of a crowded residential area ensures the surrounding circumstances and individual needs. The sloping roof style with glass panels like skylights attracts light inside. Area 2, in addition to the living room also has a kitchen. Large windows let light in. The bedroom on the 3rd floor still retains the traditional features of the old Japanese house style. Cozy and private sleeping space on the 3rd floor.

Architect Phan Hien shared, the 4-level house with 2 facades in Nghe An is a typical design for this trend. The house at level 4 has 2 facades with modern design for the owner of par Moc. Modern style, interior layout and feng shui in accordance with the owner’s par Moc. The house has a land area of ​​​​5x18m and construction area of ​​​​5x13m with functions including: 1 living room, 1 kitchen + dining, 2wc, 3 bedrooms, 1 worship room and balcony. The coordination of design ideas between the homeowner and the architect in a rhythmic manner, the seemingly small and narrow spaces have become spacious and comfortable for the owner. The area is limited, but the architect still tries to reserve a part of the land for the garden, serving the green living space for the owner. The architect has arranged flexible furniture and materials, creating a feeling of openness but still being functional. The living room and the kitchen are arranged with thin wooden walls that both divide the function and still maintain the connection between the two spaces used together. The living room is separated from the kitchen by wooden beams. A house without light often feels stuffy, dark and lifeless. On the contrary, if the house is properly arranged to receive a lot of natural light, it will always bring a pleasant and airy feeling to the owner. Therefore, the use of glass doors to get light and the use of glossy and bright tile floors will increase reflection, “pull” more light for the home space. Glossy tile floors, large glass doors help the house have a lot of light. The house is only built at level 4 but ensures a separate space for family members, and still has a common living area. For everyone to connect, share and enjoy the joy of life together. The parents’ bedroom is luxurious, with built-in wardrobes and desks. The children’s bedroom uses orange, white and brown colors, creating cuteness. The entrance to the bathroom goes through the balcony, with a system of vines on the opening to help the house circulate air.

Skylights are often designed to light and ventilate exposed spaces such as stairs, bathrooms or bedrooms. On the roof, smart roofing is often used to illuminate and prevent rain. Skylights appear more and more in townhouses. (Illustration) Many homeowners open skylights but cover their roofs with light corrugated iron or glass. This design only solves the problem of getting light, the air will not be convection. Therefore, the roof of the skylight should have a gap, but still ensure the effect of preventing rain. Bringing nature into the house Houses with a large area should open the balcony towards the skylight like a split-level house. At that time, the homeowner can decorate with the railing of the balcony. Along with the variety of construction materials and modern techniques, skylights are increasingly modified and designed in many different styles. All towards the goal of bringing a better living space for homeowners, increasing aesthetics. Getting light and air convection are two advantages of skylights. (Illustration) If the house space is high, narrow and low-light, homeowners can design the skylight as a waterfall, a floating wall to bring nature into the house, turning this place into the “lungs” of the house. Material selection The downside of skylights is noise. Therefore, homeowners need to use noise-canceling materials. Planted areas or waterfalls should have a waterproofing solution. The planting site must be convenient for watering. Items hanging on the stairs and skylights must be easily removable. At corridor windows that open to skylights, safety railings must be arranged for children. Note that seating should not be arranged at the foot of the skylight to ensure safety. Air convection The essence of the skylight is to create the effect of air convection from bottom to top inside the well cell. This convection air flow will exit the well mouth carrying “dirty” gas, while the “clean” air outside will be sucked in. For a skylight to be effective, the path of convection air must be clear. (Illustration) The mechanism that creates the natural convection effect is the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the house, and the “paint gun”-type negative pressure effect on the well mouth when there is a breeze. To be effective, the path of convection air must be clear. Mini scene The area of ​​the skylight on the bottom floor is often used for decoration, as a miniature or can be integrated into some functional space such as the living room, dining room, lobby. Planting trees in skylights should choose plants with little care, no harm and no strong scent. Sky well for small house For townhouses with a small area, most homeowners are aware of the importance of architectural physics and interior aesthetics when there is a skylight. The design plan must have a skylight to turn the dark part of the house into the brightest and naturally ventilated place. In case the house is large enough and has a backyard, the skylight is usually arranged in the middle of the house, providing an open view. Depending on the shape of the land, skylights will be scattered depending on the layout. Small houses can still design skylights. (Illustration) The area of ​​​​the house is about 50m2, so a skylight should be arranged along the stairs on one side of the wall. This type of skylight is aesthetically pleasing and suitable for small houses. In some cases, the skylight is narrow and just a slit, but it provides very good air convection. At that time, the sunshades or diffusers are still utilized under the glass or plastic layer to bring soft light to the interior space. Phuong Anh (synthetic)

High ceilings and large glass windows, it is a combination for a spacious, airy and close to nature space. Also there, the vertical and horizontal horizontal stripes help to stand out more under the decorative lighting effect. The designer has clearly expressed a modern house by simplifying the interior form and color of the ceiling, wall, floor.

Relaxing feeling – Chillout is a phrase that homeowners often mention about this room when enjoying the scent and light music emitted by the Marshall speaker in the rainy afternoon. Living room, kitchen area with white, black and gray tones combined with accents with paintings and decor items creates a modern feeling. A sincere sharing from the female owner: “I don’t need a flashy house. In this place, before going to bed and every time I wake up, what I see is nature. When I eat or drink or when I entertain relatives and friends, what exists close to me is still nature. I appreciate that and secretly thank the architect for what the architect has brought to me.” 50m2 for a place to rest and relax for the female owner is the most ideal place. Here every afternoon, when the dawn dawns, she can mingle with nature and enjoy a peaceful life. Construction: DD House, Tay Ninh city

The main color is warm, open space design, making the most of light, the house in Long An by architect Anh Quy and his associates designed with the typical appearance of a tropical country. Architect Anh Quy shared, Long An is a sunny land. To reduce heat and help the house breathe, he incorporated a system of indoor and outdoor plants. The terrace is where the architect is most interested, with an open space that combines reasonably planted trees. Trees arranged in the house help prevent wind and dust, bringing vitality to the entire building. The total area of ​​the house is 345m2. The cost of finishing construction (with furniture) is about 6.5 billion – 7 billion (excluding design costs). Before designing, Mr. Quy and the owner spent time talking to find out their needs and ideas. Then, advise homeowners how to make the house beautiful and reasonable. From the actual needs of the guests, the architect will come up with ideas for the space, so that the house is beautiful, luxurious, and artistic. This house is for a family of 4, including 2 husband and wife and 2 children. The owner’s land is in the Southeast direction, so the owner wants the kitchen to be in the South, East or North direction. The living room is the gathering place of the family, but it must be unique and strange. The sofa is designed deep into the ground, creating a cosmic effect. Parents bedroom. Cute kid’s bedroom. The bathroom is covered with fancy pebbles, using the narrow corner as a storage shelf. The dining area has an arched glass design, getting sunlight during the day and stargazing at night. This area is planted with many tropical plants. The lobby leading to the rooms is arranged with more trees and wooden benches. Architect Anh Quy shared, the project is in the process of construction. It is expected to be completed in a few months.

French photographer Jeremy Buchholz didn’t have the money to buy an apartment in Bordeaux, so he decided to buy an abandoned garage and turn it into a great hideaway. This old garage has a big corrugated iron door and inside is a messy, dirty room. So, Jeremy Buchholz called his friend architect Matthieu de Marien, who specializes in renovating shops, offices and other spaces into homes. The front of the garage was formerly a rusted white corrugated board and has now been replaced with a sturdy sliding wood panel. Stepping into the house, you will gasp in surprise. The living space is very cozy and beautifully decorated, different from the outside. To make the space feel larger, De Marien created a “home within a house”: a large piece of furniture that includes a small bathroom, bedroom, desk, wardrobe, chair sofa and storage. All space is designed in this large furniture box. The rest of the house is open plan with kitchen, dining area, living room and front yard. Indoor skylights both bring in more natural light and create a more open feel.

According to architect (Architect) Khuong Van Muoi, former Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City Association of Architects, it is very necessary to bring air, light and trees into the house. Trees help reduce the heat on summer days, bring fresh air into the house, create comfort for residents. One of the simple ways to bring nature into the house is to design an airy space with lots of openings and wide doors to let the wind circulate. Besides, using good light-absorbing materials such as glass, bright plastic to bring natural light into the house. Trees may be few but arranged in appropriate positions, taking advantage of small trees that can be hung in windows, atriums… Using every pine space to plant trees is the best way to bring nature into the house. Photo: THU TRINH “Green trees should be planted around the house and balcony to bring fresh space. Do not plant many plants in the bedroom because trees absorb O2 and emit CO2, if planted too much will make it difficult for people to breathe when the door is closed. In addition, for small houses, wind and light are even more essential. Therefore, we need to design the house so that natural light enters the house and good ventilation” – Architect Khuong Van Muoi shared. In addition, architect Huynh Bao Toan, Director of a mobile home supplier, shared: In order to bring nature into a small house, in addition to planting trees, homeowners should arrange it reasonably and simply. For small houses, placing too many bulky items will make the space cramped, making it difficult for the air to circulate. Therefore, it is recommended to use simple furniture, smart furniture because they help the house become more spacious and airy. “A suitable arrangement of furniture will have more green space. Currently, the use of smart furniture is very popular, for example, using a sofa in combination with a bed, a dining table with a desk to take up less space,” shared architect Huynh Bao Toan.

The architects have created a house that combines a biomeasurement system, energy efficiency and modern design. Completed in 2017, this 750 square meter home has 3 floors, a basement and a terrace. The terrace and outdoor balcony are inserted between the two facades. Metal façades provide privacy and shading to all glazed rooms. The architects explained: “The main spaces of the house spread like successive layers of a tree, from the indoor space to the front of the house. The house is designed as a three-dimensional matrix, layer after layer.” To preserve the neighborhood’s history, the architects retained the existing black metal fence and planted shrubs and large trees around the site. This house project has been approved by both the Architect of the French Building and APP – the organization that protects the Parc des Princes district.

House made of 3D printing technology in the Netherlands. The Dutch couple are the first tenants of a house built with 3D printing technology in Europe. Experts believe that this unique design will open up a multitude of choices about the shape and style of future homes. Elize Lutz, 70 and Harrie Dekkers, 67 – two retired shop owners from Amsterdam – just received the house’s digital key on May 6. This key is an application that allows them to open the door with the touch of a button. “It is beautiful and feels safe” – 2 grandparents commented. “When I looked at the design, I saw it as a garden in a fairy tale” – Mrs. Lutz said. Inspired by the shape of a rock, this house would be difficult and expensive to build using traditional methods. This is the first 3D-designed house out of five planned by the construction company Saint-Gobain Weber Beamix for the site next to the Beatrix Canal in the Bosrijk suburb of Eindhoven. In the last two years, real estate built in part with 3D printing technology has appeared in France and the US. These nascent projects are also slowly growing around the world. But with an area of ​​94 square meters, this 3D house in the Netherlands is said to be a remarkable stand-out from its rivals when it is legally allowed to live inside. The Dutch couple is very pleased with their new home. Mr. Bas Huysmans – CEO of Weber Benelux – said: “This is also the first project that is 100% authorized by the local government and there are people who really want to pay to live in it”. The 3D printing method involves a giant robotic arm with a special formulation of a cement nozzle. Cement will be “printed” out according to the architect’s design layer after layer until a wall has enough bearing capacity. This nozzle will be replaced after hours of operation like an ink printer. That change also shows up on the walls of the house, like a small error in the cement printing process. Although in its infancy, the method of building houses with 3D printing has been evaluated by many in the construction industry as a solution to reduce costs and harm the environment by reducing the amount of cement used. In the Netherlands, this is also an alternative in the shortage of skilled masons. The cement stains on the walls of the house are caused by changing the nozzle of the cement after a few hours of operation. This 3D house consists of 24 concrete details, printed layer by layer in a factory in Eindhoven before being transported to the construction site by truck. It is based on a foundation made by Dutch construction company Van Wijinen. After that, the roof and window frames were installed and finished. For future homes, it is hoped that the construction will be done entirely on site. Another advantage of the house is that it prints in just 120 hours. “If we only print once and finish it, it will take less than 5 days. Because, the big benefit of the printer is that there is no need to eat, sleep or rest. If we start tomorrow, the next house will be completed in 5 days, ”said Mr. Huysmans.

Located on the riverbank of Cam Thanh commune in Hoi An (Quang Nam), the house is owned by Ms. Giang – an environmental expert. She conceived of the house as a space mixed with greenery. According to the group of architects, this house is not only a place to go home for a family of four, but it is also home to birds, spiders, or insects in the foliage. This is a small community center where homeowners work with their own environmental group and meet neighbors to build community relationships. Therefore, the architect creates an organization that has overlap in occupying space. The house in view of the architect is a traditional inn in Hoi An ancient town but rolled up like a shell. Houses are also built with these local materials at a very affordable cost. The spaces on the ground floor of the house are first raised together with a large garden and then spread out into the garden. Functional groups put in a garden rather than a garden set in a house. In the dining room, for example, the floor is both the floor but also a large bench placed in the garden where people work in groups or chat. With a prefabricated steel building structure leaning against thick walls on the ground floor, exposed structures of the house can be seen. Internally, human activities are encouraged to take place in different situations, creating different spatial boundaries. Thanks to that, the space shape changes, promoting the activities of people and neighbors to create a complete home.

POM House is a small house located on a hillside in Son La province. Like the hill villages of Vietnam over the past decade, the economic development has led to the construction works, making the city more and more cramped. The hill is now a cake with many pieces cut and leveled for a “more convenient” city. When designing the house, the group of architects aims to develop urban and its impact on nature. So half of the land area is for construction and the rest is for natural elements. The eaves are built around the yard as a solid limit to protect the “land” from the impact of construction works. The courtyard is inspired by the patio of the traditional house for midday shade. The living space in the house is arranged quite simply, including a large common space, where all activities take place and is a space for family members to connect. The two side spaces of the house are designed to be smaller as private spaces for rest. Each space is connected to a shared garden but has its own vision for each space. The V-shaped roofs with the lowest point in the middle divide the house into residential and auxiliary spaces. The roof is designed to open to the outside and is carefully calculated to cleverly welcome natural light into the house in the late afternoon when the light intensity has decreased.

Located in a suburban residential area of ​​Hanoi, B House is the home owned by a concrete factory owner. The owner wants a cool space and garden view bedrooms but still ensures privacy and security. With this requirement, the group of architects used a simple yet powerful form of architectural design for the front garden. The nature of the house is open space, the boundary between the inside and the outside is gradually blurring to create the connection between people and nature. Light from outside is sucked from the roof through the glass windows into the green space inside. Around this void are long, wide staircases and corridors that connect functional spaces together. The front of the house is a system of pressed bamboo doors, which can be flexibly opened and closed. The bamboo door reduces direct sunlight from the east, and ensures privacy and security.

The house called Garden House has 2 floors located in De Beauvoir, London, England. The work was built by Hayhurts and Co, an architectural firm for famous leather designer couple Whitaker and Malem. The most impressive feature of the house is the lovely, unique garden space on the roof. The roof of the Garden House was steep like a pyramid. With this design, homeowners can easily take care of and water the small plants. There is a certain distance between the trees, the size is not too big to create a unique beauty for each ladder. In the past, the landlord built a sewing studio for movies on the basis of today’s Garden House. After more than 25 years of use, the building was damaged, so it was rebuilt in a spacious way as today. To create the garden, the architects mounted a series of stainless steel trays on roofs that were tilted 30 and 45 degrees. Trees are planted in trays, pebbles spread around around … The garden is not too large, but small trees help homeowners have a beautiful space in the middle of crowded town. Architects designing the house and garden consider this a unique rooftop landscape, creating a new and impressive look in the urban landscape in London, England. The total number of trees in the garden like this pyramid is 800. Because the land area is not much, surrounding houses have sprung up, so it is difficult to arrange many windows properly. Architects have chosen a solution to design windows on the ceiling to absorb light from the outside to brighten the interior space during the day. The first floor is the residence of the homeowner including a bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, the rest is a place for living and eating. Simple decorated space, always cool thanks to the glass door to absorb light into the house. The steel staircase leading up to the 2nd floor can be a gallery, the fitting room can also be the workspace. The exterior of the house is also simple, not too colorful or flashy.

Outdoor paving materials, necessarily anti-slip. In the design process, homeowners rarely pay attention to this issue, but only care about the functional needs, the form of the house. But to the construction stage – especially in the finishing stage; in connection with the procurement and use of materials; even though it is possible that a very clear and specific designation is given in the engineering design drawing; The owner still likes … to go to the material market to actually see, to choose materials for his house. The “conflict” between the designer and the owner about the choice and use of the material still occurs often. Architects have expertise and overview, choose the right materials; But sometimes the architect is too fond of his style, does not care to grasp the needs and psychology of the host. And the homeowner chooses materials according to the feelings, without the overall look. Many types of display materials are beautiful, but put into the work is not beautiful, or in particular a particular area is not suitable. In many cases, the materials are chosen by architects to beautify the house, but the owner is … warm and unsatisfied; and conversely, homeowners (arbitrarily) choose materials rarely in the opinion of architects. This is a professional job, but the new owner is the direct user of the project, related to those materials and the person… to spend money. Therefore, to have a common voice; then the architect must grasp, learn the needs, living habits and home psychology (with members); but the owner needs to listen to the advice of a specialist, avoid the type of “shopping” for the material, see something good, beautiful (at that time) and then pick up. The concept of beauty and the needs and aesthetic level of each person is different. Therefore, in order to choose the right materials and come to a common voice, in general, the experience of some architects is that – apart from the financial factor, it is necessary to adhere to some specialized principles. subject and each side also need to have an attitude of respect, “yield” to each other. Chandeliers are an important element in classical European architectural style. Suitable for use Materials used in architectural works, first of all, must be suitable for function; This is the most important principle. Each space, each function room, each type of structure and part of architecture has different positions and roles, it is necessary to have materials with suitable mechanical – physical – chemical properties. Floor tiles where water is available (courtyards, toilets) require slip resistance first, and then other issues such as patterns, colors …; garden and exterior materials must be resistant to natural conditions (rain, sun); materials and equipment in the bathroom must be water-resistant, high-moisture-resistant, and electrical safe; the cooking material must be heat resistant … Suitable for use space g Each space, each room in the house has its own specific function, for human activities living, living or working in it. In order to provide the correct functional effect, the materials need to be suitable as well. For example, the living room next to the garden on the ground floor needs airy, comfortable, close to nature, can use natural materials; Upstairs the common room provides closeness; the bedroom should be quiet and warm; music and entertainment rooms need an impression … In addition to the design in the functional space, the interior layout; Then the use of materials, equipment, materials in these spaces also contributes to creating the desired space. Suitable architectural style – interior Each house has an architectural style and interior, according to the will, needs of the owner with the advice of the architect; and designed in that direction by the architect. In order to create style, the role of the material and how it is used is very important. Each architectural – interior style requires the respective materials and the correct way of using them. Modern style has many new materials such as glass, steel, stainless steel …; Eastern classical style has a deep sound of brown wood with sophisticated details; The rustic folk style has the presence of natural materials such as bamboo, wood, stone … Natural stones, ceramic tiles, wood and trees create a rustic, close garden feel. Matching ratio Ratio is an important factor in architecture. Some spaces requiring use of materials are involved in this, especially tiled surfaces. The area of ​​a floor, the height of the walls, and the space of the room need the right proportions. The bathroom is usually small, so choose the moderate size ceramic tiles; should not be too big, if you calculate the parity the better. If using a large brick size, in addition to inconsistent proportions and visuals, it also causes wasteful damage due to much cutting. Some types of architectural parts are now pre-engineered with many sizes, for example, doors need to be based on the area, the height of the room, the space of the wall to choose the right size. Correlation in harmony with the surroundings A building is using many types of materials, in many spaces and spaces that are related to each other. In order to have a harmonious whole, this also needs to be noted. That relationship can be in itself in each function room, within the project; Or out in the garden, on the alley – the street. It is necessary to consider the relationship and surrounding landscape for material selection. For example, at present, there are many townhouses and apartments designed with living room space – living together with the kitchen – dining. The living room floor – common living room or parquet; and the tiled kitchen. These two materials have different origins, different properties coexist on the same ground; and so it is necessary to choose the appropriate species, which can “go together”. In general, the selection and use of materials are very important for architectural works. In a way, there is no such thing as a ugly or beautiful material. Bad or beautiful is whether it exists properly, in the right place in the project or not. Choosing the right materials, beautifying, correcting the space, the overall project. This requires both creativity, sophistication and designer’s experience; the harmony, the predestined relationship in the architect and the host’s relationship./.
