However, when using a large area of ​​glass material, if not careful, it will cause heat in the building. Here are four factors that architect Vo The Duy (CTA | Creative Architects) should keep in mind when homeowners want to build an all-glass house. Choose glass material This is the simplest way when you want to reduce the heat for the building. In the market, the array of insulating glass or reinforced film is pasted. Currently, this form is very popular when used for exteriors with many designs and prices. The above material can sometimes reduce heat up to 60% compared to ordinary glass. Glass brick with air cushion inside is also a material that is being used with a large area in the building to maximize light but still ensure privacy compared to clear or frosted glass. Arrangement of glass position The part of the contact space near the large glass areas should be a space that is not used much during the sunny period, or the homeowner should separate the main used spaces a certain distance from the large glass area. Homeowners can arrange an area close to the glass as a traffic corridor, atrium area, stairs, garden … House 2Hien (CTA | Creative Architects) uses louver ventilation for the glass roof area for ventilation. Ventilation Glass will create heat inside the building, so homeowners need ventilation solutions. Many townhouses do not use a lot of glass, but after returning home a day, the atmosphere in the house is still very hot. If the wind wants to enter, there must be an exit. Therefore, homeowners should pay attention to the design of slots and doors so that the direction of natural air flow throughout the building, even when the door is not open. Homeowners and architects need to understand the problem to design technical details to help drain the wind well but still ensure not to be thrown when it rains. Wall house’s glass roof (CTA | Creative Architects) uses gravel on the roof to limit the sun and create natural shadows. Sunshade Glass is a material that easily absorbs heat, so if exposed to a large amount of the environment, heat absorption is difficult to avoid. So choose shady locations to shade the glass surface but still ensure to get light such as under the porch, roof … Glass can also be combined with vertical laminar systems, perforated panels to do the task of getting light but still better shading the solution than combining curtain systems. The roof glazing system can also be covered with materials that create effective shading, creating natural shadows such as gravel.

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 )

Architect Do Nguyen Anh Quy said that the house is smartly designed, neat and modern. The new fully furnished interior system makes the house spacious with white – gray colors along with the harmonious combination of glass materials, making the rooms full of light and ventilation. The first floor is the kitchen area with the advantage of being connected to the second floor, so the kitchen has more open space. The use of smart kitchen cabinets in wood color of the cabinet system helps the kitchen look cleaner and more luxurious. The dining area is well taken care of by the owner because he is important to the meal with his mother and family. From the table to the dining chair and the back cabinets are decorated very nice and cozy. For the living room, the architect prioritizes growing succulent plants because of indoor plants, so watering or lighting conditions are also limited. Modern living room space, featuring two colors white – gray. Architect Anh Quy said that the kitchen is sometimes too stuffy because of the smell, so it is essential to plant trees that purify the air here. The mother loves the kitchen area because it is fully equipped, spacious, clean, comfortable to cook her favorite dishes. Because the ground floor has an atrium with the second floor, the tree can get enough light and air to live. For example, some plants not only absorb carbon dioxide but also filter gases and toxic gases from cleaning agents for the house, such as lily of the valley, fern, tiger tongue, betel nut, ivy… A relaxing space of the owner on the second floor. The third floor is the mother’s bedroom, with a small area of ​​​​about 15 m², so the architect chooses a simple or minimalist dark style. A cream-white bed with a white bedside cabinet is both age-appropriate and luxurious enough for the room. The room has a large glass door, so use gray and white curtains to seamlessly design and reduce glare for the room. The bedroom is designed in a minimalist style. The fourth floor is the master’s room and the changing room. It was originally two bedrooms, but because of the need for use, the owner changed it to a bedroom and a dressing room. He works in the art industry, so every detail in the bedroom or dressing room is well-organized and a little artistic in it. The dressing room is next to the bedroom, so the bedroom is used to the maximum area instead of a cupboard as usual, there is a space for a TV, a chair, a table and a comfortable empty area to make the room not stuffy suffocating and oppressive. The master bedroom has the artistry of the artist. This bedroom is open to a space to place a TV, a chair, a table and an empty area for the owner to comfortably rest and relax. A private dressing room is designed for the owner to do art. The owner is a person who loves to travel, he has been to many resorts, so he chose to have the same bathroom space as in the resort. The owner shared that he absolutely loved the relaxing spaces in the house, especially the bathroom and the terrace. The terrace gets full sun, so it’s easy to grow plants. Architects use plants such as cactus, magnolia, jade, fern, small brooch, and ornamental plants. The terrace space is also designed by white color. In the laundry area, the architect designed many compact cabinets to save space.

Architect AD9Architects said that the first approach of the architect at this project was a handmade card shop. The remaining functional blocks are organized based on the balance factor. The house faces the West, so the buffer spaces are formed as an essential reason to minimize noise, dust and heat. The gaps found are the transparency where fresh air, trees, and light bring together many of the elements needed for a tube house in the central climate. Da Nang house is located in Vip island area, Hoa Xuan ward, Cam Le district, Da Nang city, completed in 2020. The house has an area of ​​​​500 m², the facade of the building stands out with the color of baked bricks arranged in blocks. The round squares in the front are planted with trees, as a highlight for the house in the middle of the urban area. The materials used are mostly bought locally such as fired bricks, natural split stone, washed stone… The interior is used from the family’s previous house. The architect shared: “The completion of a housing project during the COVID-19 epidemic period is something the office feels very precious, thank you to the construction teams and families for always accompanying us. .” The architect designed many buffer spaces to minimize noise, dust and heat. From the ground floor to the upper floors, all floors are connected to each other, this is to overcome the West facing house. Besides, trees, light and buffer space are essential elements for a tube house in the Central region. Public and private spaces are connected by atrium. The connection between members becomes easier. Fully equipped kitchen and dining room. A corner of planting trees in the front of the house to the west. The materials used in the house are mainly local materials such as fired bricks.

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

The concept of feng shui may vary from person to person and from time to time, but the common goal needs to bring positive meaning to the user. According to KST Vo The Duy (CTA|Creative Architects), the building first needs to be reasonably designed, with the right functions, to satisfy all the needs of the users. It is the correct and convenient use of the house that will bring comfort, satisfaction and peace of mind in the mind of the owner. It is also a way to bring luck into the house. Depending on the owner, there will be more or less regulations on feng shui layout. The less regulations, the easier the design is to open and expand and bring many benefits to the homeowner. Architect Vo The Duy shared: “Fortunately, most of the clients we meet do not have too many regulations on feng shui and most of those feng shui regulations also coincide with the requirements of the designer.” Wall house (CTA|Creative Architects) with a ladder layout at the end of the house, connecting the two common spaces and the atrium. Talking about the principles of stair design, the principle of rationality in traffic and safety should be put on top. The stairs are the vertical traffic axis, which is also an important factor in the traffic arrangement of the house. Convenient, fast transportation and thereby creating interesting spaces in the house is a requirement of traffic design. Routes, directions, traffic intentions will be the main skeleton for the design of each house. The house has many interesting, airy, connected spaces because of the traffic layout, but the location of the stairs is a key factor. Regulations on height, clearance of handrails, handrails or farthest distance to stairs (25 m) should be ensured. However, depending on the nature of the building, these factors can be reduced to serve design requirements or homeowners’ preferences. Some projects have used handrails without bars or removing hands as examples of flexibility in these requirements. Depending on the needs of each homeowner, the design of each house will be different, there is no general rule for the location of the stairs other than the appropriate functional requirements. In addition, depending on the functional requirements, it is possible to know the position of the stairs in the traffic position so that the connection of the spaces is the fastest. Because next to the convenience is the requirement for escape safety. For example: Most houses are block-shaped townhouses, stairs are usually arranged in the middle to facilitate traffic between floors. From there the traffic axis is vertical and from that axis, the function rooms also surround the stairs. Stair space can be combined with skylights to take advantage of the empty space to create a larger atrium, helping to ventilate and get better light. The combination of gardening and planting trees under the skylight is also a very popular application. Some staircase design ideas are right on the façade, creating an interesting layout, evoking curiosity, but inside the traffic axis still ensures coherence and harmony. There is another idea of ​​the position of the stairs at the end of the house, but this is a horizontal position with the layout of the rooms on both sides. The idea that the stairs are both a place for traffic, a space for learning, playing, shelves, and sitting steps is also an idea that architects often apply. Therefore, designing the stairs according to architect Vo The Duy will have no principles other than rationality and design intent to create a livable space for the homeowner.

The owner wishes to have an airy space, with lots of natural light and green trees. At the same time, members can interact directly with each other easily, but the construction cost is also somewhat limited. According to Architects Story Architecture, the homeowner requested three bedrooms: one for his parents and two for his two sons. The total cost of completing Mai Huong’s house in Thu Duc City is two billion dong. The living room space mainly uses wooden materials with neutral colors. There is a partition between the living room and the kitchen The kitchen is full of natural light thanks to the backyard. The three floors of the house are connected by a wide atrium along the house. The main source of natural light for Mai Huong’s house comes from the atrium. Due to limited funding, the architect offered a solution to make two and a half bedrooms instead of three. One bedroom for the couple and one and a half bedrooms for two boys. The bedroom for parents is adjacent to the atrium. A bedroom and a half means a normal basic bedroom. To save space, the architect could not increase the width or length of the room, but chose to increase the height to create an additional mezzanine. Creating a bedroom with a mezzanine helps homeowners not need to build an extra floor, which is expensive. In addition, it solves the family’s need to use space and unintentionally creates a bonding routine between two children and parents. The bedroom and a half for two boys is also linked to the bedroom with the parents by the atrium and on the same floor. Mezzanine in the bedroom of two children With low investment costs, the architect designed the most minimalistic decoration, leading light into the house and green space with the use of corridors as relaxing corners. Instead of planting a lot of trees on the terrace, the architect brought inside the house with a roof combined with a nylon mesh hanging from the atrium. This way creates a relaxing area to read books, take care of trees for the little ones to have fun under the supervision of their parents. Nylon nets hang between the atrium as a place to play and read books for members. Green trees are adorned in many places in the house such as corridors, playgrounds… At this playground on the third floor, where parents can observe their children. Besides, a corner of the house is also planted with many kinds of plants and flowers to help cool the indoor air. First floor plan tầng

The villa is located in the center of Bien Hoa city, Dong Nai province. The owner wants his house to be modern and bring a lot of green leaves, open space to be harmonious and close to natural elements: sun, wind, water and plants. The idea of ​​a green building is the mainstay of the design, and one of those elements is the green fence that brings friendliness and closeness to nature. The designers tried to create as much green space as possible. At the same time, with a sense of civilization when designing, they tried to give back to nature with the right parts of the land they took away for construction, returning the city to an ecological balance. With a construction density of just over 30%, the building has a spacious garden and is filled with green flowers. In terms of form, the building has a modern style with strong lines and blocks. The request of the owner is also the design point of view of the architect: a house is not only a place to protect people from the bad effects of the environment, but also a place to connect people with people, between humans and nature and moreover, contributes to creating a breathing space, a natural green ecosystem for the city. The bathroom is bright and comfortable. This is really the owner’s relaxing space. Office upstairs. The interior is in the same style as the architectural form with a simple personality. The main wood material gives a friendly and close feeling. The comfortable kitchen area is a combination of modern equipment and materials with traditional wood materials to bring a warm look. The dining room and kitchen space at the back are also connected to nature. Above the dining table is an atrium that makes the space feel larger. The living room is located in front of the house with large windows opening to the garden with green spaces. The architects designed a lake around the ground floor to keep the house cool. And when the door opens, the house is not limited between inside and outside, there is always a connection between people and nature. The harmonious connection between people and nature in the villa.

Here are some suggestions for some open space design ideas for you today: Architect Bui The Long, CTA | Creative Architects, said: to create open space for villas is relatively easy, but for townhouses and apartments, open space is something that requires a lot of thought. Because in an open space, safety and privacy are things to keep in mind. For long townhouses, separating the spaces and then intermingling with green areas, the open space has the most area exposed to natural light. Here is a solution with many variations to liven up your living space. The interweaving of open spaces according to the area from the top down is often combined with skylights and vertical traffic is a staircase that contributes to expanding the space, bringing as much space as possible. Common living space, living room, dining table or playground are often arranged in the above area. The bedrooms will be surrounded to increase family connection. T-house project with open space combining stairs, atrium and living room. In addition, architect Bui The Long said that the open space along the length of the house is also a good idea. The open space with green trees will connect the used spaces into a continuous strip, ensuring that every area of ​​the house is in contact with nature and the garden. However, this idea needs the width of the house to be wide enough to design. Another idea about open spaces along the length of the house is that these spaces will be staggered. Between the openings between the function rooms will be the garden, trees. These small gardens will be scattered throughout the house, also bringing nature to all living spaces. In addition, the open space can be reduced but still need spaces such as the arrangement along the traffic corridor, the stair landing area is large enough. The bedrooms at the end of the house can design a bathroom that opens to a green garden, connecting with the bedroom without a wall, which will help expand the space, increase utility but still be private and safe.

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.

After surveying the current situation, the AD9 Architects team and the owner wanted to take advantage of the old structural framework and start design work based on what was still in use of the house. Before the repair, the two-storey tube house was degraded, the interior space was hot, lack of light, designed in the old style. The architect has planned to renovate the whole house, bringing a comfortable and beautiful living space to the owner. The architect has retained the entire structure of the house, designed the floor space, changed the height of the mezzanine, bringing a significant change in interior design and façade in a modern style, in line with the trend. . To fully address the functional needs, the AD9 Architects team built more second floor space and combined terrace. The current status of the old mezzanine floor is low, the new design of the architect creates a difference in the floor cos (elevation), so it is necessary to change the height of the mezzanine. The architects have come up with a plan to change the color in accordance with the modern trend, including two colors of white and gray. In addition, there is a small garden design in many corners and facades to create a green area for the house, bringing a pleasant feeling, making the house more prominent in the neighborhood. The furniture such as tables, cabinets, shelves are selected to be simply arranged to meet the essential needs of the family. The door opens to the green space to access the facade. The house is wide enough for the AD9 Architects team to organize the traffic volume along the transitional space axis. Here, the space of the skylight is gradually expanded vertically to get the most reasonable convection system for dynamic and static spaces. Sufficient natural light from the hallway, the transition into the bedrooms. From the outside in, the natural elements create the necessary balance, and the activities inside the house also become better and healthier. The architect also designed the atrium to take advantage of natural light for the house. The stairs have iron material and are also painted white to match the color of the walls. This atrium takes in natural light very well, combined with green trees on many floors to make the house space airy and comfortable. Decorative green plants are also cleverly used in the corners of the room, bringing nature into the space of the house, bringing many benefits to the health of the family. A private worship space is located on the top floor. Other spaces, including the bedroom, were completely replaced with wooden floors and walls painted with the dominant white color.

Located on a 5x20m plot of land in a new urban area in Binh Tan district (HCMC), Connect House is the home of a young family of 3. When designing the house, the architect wanted to create a space that helps the people living in it feel comfortable and easily interact with each other. Therefore, the house minimizes the construction of walls. Instead of a system of glass walls, curtains… so that from the space of interference, the wife or husband can easily see what the other half and their children are doing. The skylight with green trees connects people with nature. The house consists of 3 bedrooms, all bedrooms have two windows, placed on opposite sides of the wall for easy air circulation. The ground floor is the space to arrange the common living areas, including the garage, children’s play area, kitchen combined with dining room. Stairs are also a space to help people feel relaxed like walking. Working corner overlooking the green space. The second floor is a children’s bedroom and a guest bedroom. Like many other tube houses, the 3rd floor of Connect House is used to arrange a laundry area, a small relaxation room and a terrace.
