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 )

1. Mysterious mole that changes position in a super confusing way This is a detail only for die hard fans of Titanic, First time viewers will probably not recognize it. The mole of Rose (Kate Winslet) actually had a rather unusual position change, jumping from the left cheek to the right cheek. This mistake occurs several times throughout the film, but only those who “saint” probably realize. 2. The bar on the ship is also “variable” like a ghost An error in the context of Titanic can also catch the eyes of many spectators. In a scene when Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) stands at the bow of the ship, the ship’s railings can be seen separate from each other. Later in the film when Jack and Rose meet at the same location (and then hug each other romantically in the wind), the railings are connected again. Is it in this most luxurious journey, the train Titanic still being… under construction? 3. The necklace is also “flying without wings”, will the Titanic encounter ghosts? Ship Titanic did not meet ghosts, instead encountered the team in charge of the setting, the costumes were a bit neglected. In this scene, Rose and her mother attended a very luxurious party. However, annoyed by the surrounding guests, she decided to leave the party. On the way Rose runs out, the audience can also see her necklace disappear. 4. Even Rose’s dress is very mysterious, now and then! When Rose was about to do something foolish, Jack quickly appeared to save her. In one scene, her hand is firmly on the rail of the train. In the next scene, her hand also conveniently holds the hem of her shirt. Is it possible that while playing on the side of the ship, Rose also meticulously groomed her outfit and held her shirt for poetry? This must have been a link error on the part of the crew while filming this segment. 5. The “miracle” glasses regenerate themselves after being smashed in the face In one scene, Rose breaks the glass to get the ax to rescue Jack. But in the next shot, the audience can immediately see that the broken glass looks completely different, just like new glass! 6. Even the ropes of the Titanic “opposed” the gravity of the Earth, is it funny? When the train Titanic crashed into the iceberg, the ship sank from the front, causing the stern to be thrown upwards. But in the photo above, viewers can immediately recognize that the ropes are being dropped in a direction parallel to the hull, rather than going straight into the sea as shown in the image below. This is probably an error of the film crew when staging the scene into a giant ship. 7. Jack’s nose is frozen, but maybe it’s because their love is so passionate that it melts When the shipwreck happened, Jack and Rose were floating in the frozen Atlantic Ocean, waiting to be rescued. In the first scene, when the two were encouraging each other, Jack’s nose was frozen because it was too cold. But a while after the guy “passed out” due to the cold, the icy part of this nose had completely melted. Image source: 20th Century

The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco has been making strange noises for the past year. Photo: Reuters Strange sound According to The Guardian (UK), in a windy tunnel in the southwest of Ontario, California, a team of acoustic and aerodynamic experts is testing on a model of the railing of the Golden Gate Bridge. Experts have contracted to solve the mystery of a strange humming sound emanating from the famous bridge in San Francisco over the past year. Some residents living nearby feel extremely uncomfortable hearing this noise. Accordingly, this mysterious sound appears only on days with strong winds. It has been compared by some to the “ghost harmonica”, “the sound of the monks chanting”, or the “wheezing sound”. This strange sound quickly became a thrilling story in San Francisco. A music producer has put it on a track of existential fear. Some amused people consider it the “mellow song” of the bridge, others say the sound is very “creepy” and they can’t stand it. aliens made this noise. “It sounds like a noise I can imagine prison guards use to torture prisoners,” one social media user shared. But whether San Francisco people love it or hate it, engineers will get rid of it next summer. Video: The mysterious sound from the Golden Gate Bridge (Source: Youtube): The cause of the mysterious sound After residents of the city began complaining about the noise in June 2020, authorities began an investigation. They monitor this sound and use instruments to measure the vibration of the humming. They found that the sound usually comes out at 440 hz, matching the note of A. The noise occurs when the wind hits the new balustrade, installed from a slight angle, slightly north or south, relative to the normal wind from the west. “After carefully studying the phenomenon, we determined the sound was coming from the new aerodynamic railing that we installed on the west side,” said Paolo Cosulich-Schwartz, a spokesman for the Bridge Management Board. . “It is part of the Golden Gate Bridge upgrade, designed to protect the bridge by allowing it to withstand sustained high winds of up to about 160 km/h.” He said new, thinner railings have been installed to ensure the bridge doesn’t have the same problems as the ill-fated Tacoma Narrows Bridge in Washington. The bridge shook violently in the wind, then collapsed in 1940, shortly after a few months of construction. “So we had to go ahead with this project. As climate change leads to more extreme weather events, it is imperative that the construction be completed as soon as possible,” said Cosulich-Schwartz, adding that the building was retrofitted with wind resistance in 2016. last year at a cost of $12 million. A study conducted in 2013 showed that the maximum wind speed that the bridge can withstand is 111 km/h. Since its inauguration, the Golden Gate Bridge has been closed 3 times due to bad weather conditions, in 1951 with strong winds of 111 km/h, in 1982 with strong winds of 113 km/h and in 1983 with strong winds of 121 km /H. Fortunately, no damage occurred. So bridge engineers looked for newer thin slats that would allow the bridge to withstand winds of up to 160km/h. They just didn’t expect the bars to create such a “symphony”. Wind gusts of 160km/h are only possible in the event of a tornado, hurricane or tropical storm, said Warren Blier, a senior science official with the National Weather Service. The Golden Gate Bridge has been closed 3 times in its history due to strong winds. Photo: AP Attempts to silence the noise Meanwhile, engineers are determined to find a way to fix the problem. At engineering firm RWDI, an hour west of Toronto, a model of a bridge the size of a conference room was built in a wind tunnel. Engineers are testing various wind speeds and modifications to see if they can quell the noise. However, in the city of San Francisco, not everyone wants this noise to go away. A local blogger even created a sound list around the Golden Gate Bridge to help listeners sleep better. “I love the sound,” says Brianne Howell, a resident of west San Francisco, who shot a video of the bridge humming on one of her regular walks along the coast. “It reminds me of the weird sound in a horror movie. It’s sad to have to remove it.” Construction of the Golden Gate Bridge was started in 1933 and completed in 1937. The bridge spanning the Pacific Ocean, connecting the city of San Francisco with Marin County, has a length of up to 2,700 meters and a ground height of nearly 90 meters. . The Golden Gate Bridge is not only famous for its arduous construction process, but is also known as a tourist magnet of the United States.

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:

In this article, we will refer to how to plant and care for roses of Ms. Nguyen Hong Nhung (Hanoi), she has found a special way, can take rose cuttings (from rose branches to root). with just a glass of water. As a result, she had a 3m2 balcony covered with brilliant roses that everyone had to almost rub. Illustration. Choose branches First, at the stage of choosing branches, Ms. Nhung said that in order to cut a rose in the country, we must choose the right branch. People should only choose the branches of the cake, which are dark green, about the size of a chopstick, and have flowers. It is imperative to do so to ensure that the rose can flower and not be “deaf”. When cutting branches for cuttings, you should cut about 20cm from the flower. Absolutely do not take young branches because they will not be able to root. Branch handling When we have chosen the desired branch, we cut the bevels at both ends so that the branch is only about 15cm. Note that on the cuttings, there must be about 3-4 eyes for them to take root. Its eyes must be as fat as a grain of rice, but if the eyes are too small, it cannot take root. It is advisable to remove some leaves to reduce the thickness but not to cut them, because the leaves play an important role in the synthesis of substances to create new roots. Use root stimulant Originally, persimmon branches already have hormones, but if soaked in a normal environment, the rose branches are often influenced by the external environment, so the roots have not yet grown and died, so using intensive root stimulants also brings benefits. high efficiency. Another mistake when cutting roses with water is that people use drugs containing a lot of phosphorus, himid acid … These are stimulant drugs for plants with available roots, but with unrooted rose cuttings, it prevent roots from growing. Therefore, Ms. Nhung advises people to only take medicines containing root-forming hormones such as Indole-3-butyric acid or NAA (bought at pharmacies). Use pure water as a cutting medium We should use pure water for cuttings, put in a transparent plastic cup that will be convenient to monitor the rooting rate. You just need to mix 500-700ppm NAA solution into the water. Use a small plastic cup to hold and plug the rose branch directly into it. Spraying after cuttings After 3 days of incubation, the humidity should be reduced to about 90%. So use a tall plastic cup and close the lid. If you used a small cup before, now you can completely combine them into 1 and put them in a large cup. After 5-10 we will spray growth stimulants and foliar fertilizers. 10 days later, spray again. Note, for each cutting, only spray 2 times, if too many roots will die and if too little, the branches cannot take root. This is the result of cutting a rose with water in about half a month Thus, after about 10-20 days, at the latest, persimmons will take root in 30 days. At this point you can bring them to the ground as you like. After 1 month, the persimmon tree will begin to bud and have buds. So 2 months after the start of cuttings, you already have a beautiful, fragrant rose pot in a corner of the balcony.

Therefore, she once thought about buying land to build a villa, to have a spacious kitchen, to satisfy her passion. She and her husband have meticulously planned the design ideas and construction time. However, as time passed, she felt that the apartment of more than 100 square meters in her current apartment was enough and better for her family. Especially, being close to relatives (her brother and sister live in the same building). This apartment, she herself designed the design ideas, bought each decoration by herself, so she felt very attached and enthusiastic. She divided into zones, meeting her hobbies of cooking, reading, playing music, collecting and golfing… The female owner invests a lot in the kitchen. “My wife and I have the same opinion that if you like to eat something somewhere, you will definitely be able to make it at home and invite your loved ones to experience it,” Huong confided. Some pictures of Ms. Huong’s small nest: The corner displays bags, water bottles, balls and golf clubs. “I love golf because it’s a sport that gathers a lot of skills and principles, requires a great deal of patience. I also want to let the two children learn a lot from this sport. Beautiful little shelves for children. Starbucks vases I’ve been collecting for 11 years,” Nguyen Huong said. The living room is also a place to play for two children. On the TV shelf, Ms. Huong displays comics, books and mugs. Minimalist gray sofa is suitable for families with children, because it is less dirty. Although the living room balcony is small, it is enough for the owner to grow a lot of flowers and herbs or sip a glass of wine on a cool evening. The 30-year-old woman loves music, so she has a corner for a piano next to the sofa. The “chill chill” corner on the balcony for romantic moments of the female owner. Tables and chairs for drinking wine on the balcony are made of iron with anti-rust paint, no worries about weather causing damage Kitchen corner inspires cooking to each family member. Huong’s kitchen uses light pink, gray and mint green colors, making the space more airy and spacious. The owner has a hobby of making cakes, so the oven is always fragrant. Cooking at home helps Ms. Huong take better care of her family’s nutrition. Although the kitchen is small, it still has a long dining table overlooking the living room. The kitchen wall is a shelf for baking trays. Here, Huong can cook, play with her children or work together at a long table overlooking the green grass. Bathroom in the master bedroom. Bathtub for swimming floats and toys, serving 2 children during the holidays. “I like to capture moments like these of my children, not arranged, not organized, but looking back, they are very lovely,” Nguyen Huong said. Home is the place to go. The window serves the mother’s working days at home and the living room serves the two brothers to play during the epidemic break. The master bedroom has nothing but a 2mx2m bed. The children have their own rooms but still sleep with their parents until they enter grade 1. Outside is a chill corner whenever Ms. Huong wants to practice guitar without bothering anyone. Huong’s floor goes directly to the playground and green space to walk on, so she always feels like staying here more than a villa.

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.

The bougainvillea is a woody climbing plant that is malleable, loves the sun, adapts and grows well in hot, sunny environments. If your yard is being exposed to too much heat, bougainvillea will be a very suitable heat-tolerant ornamental plant.

Cactus Cactus is known as the king of good sun-tolerant ornamental plants. To adapt to the hot and sunny environment, the leaves of the cactus transform into sharp spines to reduce the transpiration of the plant. Depending on the species of cactus, it will have a large, small body with many spines or a few different spines. The advantage of this plant is that it grows well in a hot environment, suitable for you to decorate your balcony in summer. climbing roses Rose is known as the queen of flowers.

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

Aloe vera is one of the indoor plants that help “green” the interior space in the summer. Not only cooling the house, aloe vera also has a great ability to purify the air, providing more O2 to help cool the environment. Ornamental areca is commonly grown in living rooms. Ornamental plants have the effect of reducing the temperature in the room, removing benzene, formaldehyde and trichlorethylene from the air. Banyan, fig, and si trees are all known for their ability to lower temperatures, reduce pollution and improve air quality. In addition to the ability to absorb toxic gas, betel nut also helps cool and fresh air. Betel nut can live in soil or hydroponics, you can grow betel nut on the table, wall, balcony… Ferns not only cool and humidify the air, but they can also remove formaldehyde. Scientists at NASA consider ferns to be one of the most efficient “air purifiers”. The tiger tongue tree is another suggestion from NASA to help clean the air. Plants give off oxygen at night, keeping the air cool as well as absorbing large amounts of indoor toxins. Image source: Internet Video: House of 25m2- opportunity to have a house for many people?

Closing the door when using the air conditioner is natural. However, many families have a habit of avoiding heat by keeping the door closed throughout the day, even though the air conditioner is not always on. In fact, this method only helps to prevent sunlight from entering, but the heat is still absorbed by the windows and surrounding walls. This amount of heat will be surrounded in 4 walls, so it feels stuffy and uncomfortable. At night, when you step inside, you still feel that everything is hot. Turn on the fan, open the door when it is sunny, making the house more hot On the contrary, many people have the habit of opening the door all day, turning on the fan to get natural wind to blow into the house, creating ventilation and cooling the room. However, this is not at all true for sunny days, especially around midday. Because at this time, the outdoor temperature is higher than the indoor temperature, opening the door in combination with the fan will cause the heat to come in, the more you turn on the fan, the more hot and stuffy it is. Therefore, it is most reasonable to open the door early in the morning and then close it. When the sun is out, open the door again to let the outside air into the room to help cool down and reduce stuffiness. You should create more ventilation for the house with small doorways, this is where the air is drawn when the power is out. The air conditioner heater is located in a sunny place Installing the right air conditioner will help you enjoy a more pleasant summer. However, placing the air conditioner heater in an unreasonable position can make the house not as cool as desired, in addition, it is also easy to damage the air conditioner and consume a large amount of power. The heater is left outside, where the sun shines, making the air conditioner work less Air conditioner manufacturers often design and apply technology to help air conditioners withstand harsh weather. However, it is not because of that that we can install the air conditioner heater in any outdoor position without a roof. For convenience, many families today often choose to install the heater on the terrace, on the roof or outside the wall, … without a roof. The heater placed in a place with direct sunlight will increase the temperature of the heater, the air conditioner will work less, the feeling of coolness will decrease, causing the indoor temperature to remain high. The best place to place the air conditioner heater is in a cool place, avoid direct sunlight and have a roof. No curtains or choose the wrong material, curtain color Many people think that curtains are only suitable for the house in winter days, so do not use curtains for summer. In fact, according to some studies, the window is the place to absorb 30% of the heat from the outside. Therefore, in the summer, curtains will be an intermediate item to separate the scorching sunlight outside from the space inside. Using curtains to cover the door on hot days will see the effect immediately, the room is noticeably cooler. Curtains help separate the outside sunlight from the inside space However, it is also necessary to choose the right material and curtain color to be suitable for the summer. Thick and dark velvet curtains are completely unreasonable for the summer house. Curtains with heavy materials and dark colors only make the room feel more stuffy and cramped. Currently, the market has many designs of curtains or lace curtains, thin curtains, bright colors that are both beautiful and convenient, suitable for all spaces from the living room to the bathroom, making the house cooler. on a hot day. “Forgot” the balcony The small garden on the balcony also contributes to making the house less hot Many people are afraid of cramped space or busy with work that “forget” the balcony area. Not taking advantage of the balcony area to “green” with trees is a mistake that makes the house hotter in the summer. Just a small garden with vines, hanging baskets, flower pots on the balcony also contributes to reducing the temperature of this area, softening the summer sun, making your home more comfortable in the winter. hot weather day.

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

The 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.

“Initially, I only planned to grow vegetables and flowers to have a place for my children to admire and play. Unexpectedly, a year later, I had a green vegetable garden on an area of ​​3m2 of the balcony”, Mr. Nguyen shared. shall. Without much experience and knowledge about farming, for the past year, Nguyen has had to tinker with, learn the characteristics, and how to take care of plants. “Growing vegetables on the balcony will be much more difficult than growing on the terrace, because of the narrow area, lack of sunlight and constant cleaning. Fortunately, my balcony faces east, so it receives sunlight from morning to noon. This makes an important contribution to good green vegetables,” Nguyen said. According to Mr. Nguyen, soil is also an important factor to help plants grow well. He chose a mixed soil consisting of coconut humus, bean residue, rice husk ash and mixed with cow manure and treated vermicompost to plant trees. To create a nutrient-rich soil substrate, Nguyen mixes soil and organic fertilizer at the ratio of 60% soil plus 20% processed cow dung and 20% treated vermicompost. After that, he incubated with lime and put it in a pot. Once a week, he fertilizes vegetables once a week. “When adding fertilizer, I mix soil and fertilizer equally, absolutely no chemical fertilizers. Sometimes, I mix coffee grounds, aloe vera sap when harvesting to make fertilizer.” electromechanical engineer shared. One very important thing to keep the tree healthy is to take care and water it regularly. “If the plant lacks water, it will die or if we over-water the plant, the roots will be waterlogged,” Nguyen said. He also installed an automatic watering system for peace of mind when away from home. In addition to scallions, Mr. Nguyen’s garden also has basil, lettuce, lemon basil, mint, perilla, spinach, spinach, broccoli, aloe vera… Growing vegetables on high-rise balconies will also be attacked by insects or pests. At first, his vegetable garden had a similar situation. To protect vegetables, Mr. Nguyen uses a biological product to irrigate the plants, since then, aphids, aphids, red spiders, rollers, and snails no longer appear. Nguyen at his vegetable garden. Green butterfly pea plant. To grow a variety of plants in a narrow space, Nguyen took advantage of shelves, pots, and plastic bottles. Next, he neatly arranged the planting pots to look both beautiful and grow many different types of plants. From the day he had a balcony garden, Mr. Nguyen took advantage of the morning and afternoon to water, check for pests and diseases as well as the nutritional status of vegetables. Every weekend, his children go out to the balcony to learn about plants and how to care for them, and harvest the fruits themselves.

Image cut from video Turkish social media in recent days has spread a video that shows a group of two men and six women posing naked on a yacht on the southern coast of the country. Sheet Lider Gazette said the video was shot near the Turkish province of Mugla, across from the famous Greek island of Rhodes.

Some people will feel bored, others will take this opportunity to unleash their creativity. Nothing can make it difficult for young people today. Well, I couldn’t go to the shop, so a Thai friend “brought” a “bar” right to his house. The article shares about the “home bar corner” of a young Thai man. (Photo: Facebook) Accordingly, this guy Wat Sudkla from Thailand decided to edit the balcony of the house into a miniature bar. Although only with a fairly narrow area, at first glance, I don’t think it can make anything outstanding, but with only a set of tables and chairs and a few dozen empty beer cans, this balcony has been amazingly transformed. The guy’s balcony before it was decorated. (Photo: Wat Sudkla) And here is the result. (Photo: Wat Sudkla) From a monotonous empty area, Wat Sudkla has turned the small area in front of the apartment into a virtual living corner just like being in a bar. More specifically, this bar corner also has an outdoor view overlooking the city. At night, the lights are turned on, making the space even more chill. Turning on the lights in the evening is no different from a corner in the bar. (Photo: Wat Sudkla) Sitting here with a friend, sipping a few drinks, chatting is nothing better. (Photo: Wat Sudkla) There is also an overhead view overlooking the city at night, chill out! (Photo: Wat Sudkla) Owning a unique and quality sip corner like this, what else do you need to go to the shop? (Photo: Wat Sudkla) And this is the owner of the idea of ​​​​”home bar” that we have admired just now.

Many young Vietnamese people also expressed their interest and quickly tagged friends to invite each other to do it for their balcony.

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)

Recently, her house, which belongs to a building on Wukang Street, gained attention on social media thanks to a large pink bow hanging from the balcony, making the building look like a miniature Disney castle.

In any season of the year, the rose garden on Ms. Hien’s terrace blooms brilliantly. Can’t believe I can grow a beautiful flower garden In the afternoon, the sun went out, Dinh Thi Dieu Hien (living in District 11, Ho Chi Minh City) went up to the terrace again, immersed in the blooming rose garden, emitting a sweet scent. She said, up to now, she does not believe that she can grow such a beautiful rose garden. Because, the rose is a species suitable for temperate climate while HCMC is hot all year round. Hien said, she grows flowers because she loves and wants to beautify her house. So, when she saw that the balconies of many houses abroad were covered with roses, she dreamed of being able to grow this flower on her balcony. The flower garden has many different types of domestic and imported roses. That passion burned even more when she noticed that there was a movement to grow infrared flowers in Vietnam. Unable to wait any longer, she ordered a pot of roses from Phu Tho province to plant on the balcony of the house. “Red is very red. Must understand to take care of flowers. At first, I only planted persimmons in the balconies. However, here the tree does not have enough sunlight, so it is very weak, giving small, few flowers. So I put the flowers on the terrace for the plants to have enough sun and then brought the plants back to the old location, “said Hien. To plant such a beautiful flower garden on the terrace, Hien spent 3 years tinkering and experimenting. Moving the trees constantly made her tired and came up with the idea to turn the empty terrace into a flower garden to grow roses. However, when moving the tree to the terrace, she had to face the reality of hot weather, burning hot sun. In order for the plant to grow well, for beautiful flowers, she tinkered and found her own flower care formula. She said: “In the balcony with little sun, every day I just spray the leaves thoroughly in the morning. If it’s too hot, in the afternoon I just mist the leaves and spray before 5pm. The fertilizing regime also reduces high-protein fertilizers because less sunlight and more protein are easy to cause diseases. In the early years, she fell under stress because the flower growing failed continuously. “When planted on the terrace, the tree will get more sun and wind. Therefore, I watered twice a day, sprayed the leaves thoroughly in the morning and afternoon. In addition, I also pay attention to shading the pot with straw, pine bark … or growing vegetables and short-rooted flowers that both provide oxygen and cool the pink roots,” she added. Insomnia, awake because of flowers She said, in order to accumulate that experience, she spent sleepless nights just thinking and trying to make the garden live and bloom beautifully. In the first year of planting flowers, Hien almost always fell into a state of stress, stress by investing effort and money, but the tree did not sprout, give buds, bloom. Up to now, she has found her own secret to being able to grow all kinds of roses on the terrace of her house. Not giving up, she joined and learned from rose-growing associations and groups. She applies that technique to her flower garden and then spends time researching and gaining more experience from the fact that she takes care of flowers every day in the garden. Finally, after 3 years, she understood and grasped the characteristics of roses. Even, she has accumulated experience and techniques for growing roses on the terrace in the year-round hot weather of Ho Chi Minh City. After 3 years, she has covered her empty terrace with many kinds of roses for bright, fragrant flowers. She shared: “Hong loves the sun, in addition to the need for 3 hours of sunshine or more, it also needs the following factors: first soil, second pot, three varieties. Fertilizer is just the last addition. My soil composition consists of: 25% finely ground alluvial soil, 45% vermicompost, treated coir, smoked rice husks, bat manure and perlite. She also noted that the mixing of the soil must ensure that the soil is loose and well-drained. Because persimmons must be planted in pots, placed on the terrace, the pots also have certain criteria. Ms. Hien’s experience is that it is necessary to choose a good drainage pot, even after buying it, she also drills more drainage holes. To maintain the flower garden, Ms. Hien spends a lot of effort and time taking care of it with her own techniques. In addition, Ms. Hien also listed techniques for fertilizing plants. She always spends a weekend to fertilize and spray her flower garden. Up to now, Ms. Hien has in hand the technique of fertilizing roses according to a specific formula and experience. One of the factors for the tree to flower wrongly and continuously is the pruning technique. These techniques include: choosing a fertilizer that provides adequate nutrition for each stage of the plant, when fertilizing, it must be applied 2-5cm from the wall of the pot, 3 days before the flowers die, apply fertilizer to provide a lot of phosphorus to stimulate the roots. For the next sprout, after cutting the flowers, fertilizing provides a lot of nitrogen, applying oil cake in combination with watering the roots with seaweed… Especially, she grows flowers without using drugs and chemical fertilizers, but only using natural products. In particular, Ms. Hien grows completely organic roses and does not use any drugs or chemical fertilizers. When it comes to dealing with pests, she only uses neem oil, orange essential oil, etc. Therefore, her flower garden is extremely safe for family members. Even now, even though she is pregnant and nearing her due date, she still goes to the terrace, goes to the rose garden to see flowers, and takes care of the plants every day. So the flower garden is not only beautiful but also very safe. Hien’s family members are very fond of flower gardens. Currently, the flower garden on the terrace of Ms. Hien has many varieties of Vietnamese roses such as: Sapa ancient roses, Hai Phong ancient roses. There are also many beautiful and attractive infrared flowers such as: Soeur Emmanuelle, Juliet, Mac Spice, Angela, Masora, Mon Coeur, Friendship of Strangers, Purple Ice Cream, Corail Gelee, Katherine Blue, Amandine Chanel , Pope John Paul II, Double Delight… Even though she is pregnant, Hien can still go to the flower garden to look at the flowers and inhale the sweet fragrance of the roses. Ms. Hien further shared that, in order for roses to have beautiful and regular flowers, tree pruning occupies an extremely important position in the care process. For each type of persimmon, she has a specific way of pruning branches. In addition to roses, Hien is currently growing some fresh vegetables and fruits to add to her menu every day. She shared: “When the persimmon lines are cut, keep watching from the flower to 5-6 axillary leaves, choose the axillary with the most beautiful sprout eye to cut. The bush line should be cut 2-3 axillary leaves, inflorescence line, cut below 4-5 leaf axils. “Cut off all the bad branches, the tree is easy to give root sprouts with long bunches of flowers. If you want the tree to bloom at the same time, when you cut the dead flowers, you should cut them only once, if the flowers bloom before they fade, just leave them on the tree and wait for them to bloom. After finishing, cut it,” added Hien. Posts: Nguyen Son Image: Characters provided

People living in apartments often suffer from hot air and direct sunlight will suffer health problems, and furniture will also be damaged quickly. Western-facing or western-facing apartments have high heat absorption. (Illustration) If you are facing the above problems, homeowners need to apply anti-heat measures based on 3 basic principles, which are: Reducing the absorption of heat into the apartment; create natural ventilation; and increased insulation. Reduce heat absorption Hot air from the outside enters the apartment through a wall or window surface. Therefore, to reduce heat absorption, homeowners should use light-colored wall paint or furniture. Limit the use of glassware on balconies or windows. If the glass cannot be replaced, cover it with insulating glass paper, curtain or curtain. It is recommended that the insulating glass be used in western windows. (Illustration) To cool down the apartment, homeowners should plant many trees. This not only makes the space more green, but also helps to make the air cleaner. Create natural airflow In order for the living space to be naturally ventilated, the first thing homeowners need to do is arrange interior items neatly and intelligently. There should be one window in the air-inlet direction and one in the out-air direction. A neat and reasonable interior layout also contributes to natural airflow. (Illustration) Heat absorption in closed walls will make the apartment hotter. Therefore, homeowners avoid sealing the wall area where sunlight shines on. Insulation There are many methods of insulating the wall of an apartment in the West, where it is exposed to the heat every day. Homeowners can refer to popular insulation materials on the market today. Plasterboard helps insulate the wall of the apartment quite well. Plaster has good sound insulation, high aesthetics. Plaster can be combined with other insulation materials such as glass wool or PU foam sheet. An insulated air bag is also an effective option. This airbag is constructed of pure aluminum film, helping the apartment to resist heat during sunny days or release heat in winter. Planting lots of trees on a balcony is also an effective way to combat heat. (Illustration) An equally effective method of insulation is the use of PU foam insulation. This material has quite good sound insulation, but homeowners should combine with plaster walls to create more aesthetics. At a balcony or window, where it is directly affected by sunlight, homeowners should use insulating glass instead of ordinary glass. More simply, you can use curtains or blinds to shield. Along with that, use heat insulation paints and bricks. Growing trees on the balcony is also a solution with many benefits. Trees help reduce heat absorption, while purifying the air and preventing dirt from entering the house from the outside. Phuong Anh (synthetic)

Ordinary day of a family vegetable garden owner in Caffarella park At the same time, the Mantagnota Residential Management Board, which manages the flower gardens of the large Tre Fontane Park, has received more and more applications for land. Here’s an interesting fact: the subjects of greatest interest are citizens between the ages of 20 and 30. The epidemic epidemic among young people is not only encouraged by the prospect of planting and taking care of the family’s clean vegetable garden by themselves, but also by the 23 thousand square meter community space. Everyone there cultivates together – weeding, making soil, sowing seeds, planting and watering vegetables, taking care of cleaning, collecting waste. For many, this is a unique opportunity, to reestablish the feeling of being part of the social network, or the community. – Since the first social gap, up to now, the number of Roma families owning a family garden has increased by 30%, said Andrea Messori of the Family Garden Association. The social divide forced many public venues, including restaurants, cinemas, museums or galleries, where a large number of Italians spent their free time, forced to close. At the same time, countless cultural and sports events have to be canceled, foreign tours have to be delayed indefinitely, so it’s no surprise, when residents of Vinh City are eagerly looking for a new way to spend. free time. More and more people are participating in outdoor activities. Cultivating clean vegetables in the home garden is one of those activities. Ngoc Bau ( Włosi chcą mieć własne ogródki działkowe.

Gold and platinum materials are both found in cafeterias, decks, balustrades, stairs and anchors. Meanwhile in the master bedroom there is a statue made from the bones of T-Rex Tyrannosaurus. If these are not enough to see the luxury of this yacht, the 68-kg Aquavista Panoramic Wall is covered with 24-carat gold and a rare 18.5-carat diamond-studded luxury wine bottle will be smart. most evident. In the summer of 2011, Stuart Hughes, a design unit in the UK, said it had been tasked with crafting a yacht called History Supreme. Hughes stated on his website that the yacht was purchased by a Malaysian businessman for $ 4.8 billion. 100,000 kilograms of monolithic gold and platinum were expected to be used on this project at that time. The railing and the anchor are even made of precious metal. At $ 4.8 billion, the story quickly spread by the media. However, the Italian-based Baia Yachts brand was quick to refute this information, claiming Hughes used the company’s image to turn it into his own idea. Sheet Business Insider once believed that the billionaire bought this yacht was Robert Kuok, but later discovered that the businessman had a net worth of up to $ 12.5 billion. He renovated his Hong Kong mansion to avoid flaunting his wealth, not the behavior of someone willing to spend $ 4.8 billion on an expensive luxury yacht. Kuok is also the richest of the three billionaires with a net worth of over $ 5 billion in Malaysia, so the figure of $ 4.8 billion for a yacht is still very different. Business Insider Also spent a few questions for representatives of Stuart Hughes to verify the above information, but what they received is only weak feedback from this unit. Baia Yachts sales manager Mario Borselli said: “Who can believe a ship carries hundreds of tons of gold? They took pictures from our website without permission.” This gold-plated yacht is also more luxurious than the $ 1.2 billion Eclipse superyacht of Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, equipped with both missile defense systems and submarines worth $ 450 million. This may be just a trick to polish the name of Stuart Hughes and the media did not verify the source before a series of newspapers reported on this yacht model. Anyway, the name History Supreme has almost become a “legend” of the yachting industry despite not taking into account reality. When asked which is the most expensive yacht, perhaps History Supreme will still be most interested in.

Recently, a number of unfortunate incidents have occurred in apartment buildings. There are cases where children, even adults falling from higher floors, died or were seriously injured. There is an opinion that it may be due to design errors, but all apartment buildings and high-rise buildings must comply with construction standards, including full safety standards for each item, so it is unlikely to happen. out errors. In fact, the cause of the above cases is largely due to the unreasonable arrangement of objects and the interior of the house, leading to an accident in use. Talking about this issue, Mr. Tran Manh Dat, General Director of a company operating in the field of interior design, manufacturing and construction, said: “Usually when designing balcony balustrades in apartments height of about 1.4 m. However, active children can climb over here. Therefore, in a home with young children, it is very necessary to install additional screens to ensure safety ”. The apartment building should install a protective net on the balcony and avoid placing objects, beds close to the window. Photo: NGUYEN CHAU When receiving a house, even though there are no children in the house, the homeowner should still make a net on the balcony rail and the window to make the living process safe. The current way of installing the protective cable still completely ensures the space for the house. For townhouses, it is necessary to pay attention to the handrail of the stairs, if using the form of bars, the distance between the bars is not too large for children to pass through. Architect Huynh Bao Toan, Director of a mobile home supplier, also instructed: “When designing a house, the architect did it correctly according to the regulation of a handrail of about 1.4 m or more. However, some families often put extra items on the balcony, close to the railing such as washing machines, trees, furniture … When someone climbs these objects, it is very easy to fall out. Modern apartment design often has large windows, families should not set tables, beds close to the windows because it is very dangerous, especially for young children. The interior layout should be carefully calculated if the house has children ”. KTS Toan recommends apartment balconies need to attach protective nets. This not only ensures the safety of people in the house, but also minimizes the drop of things or mischievous children throwing objects on the ground, endangering others. “The current types of safety nets and cables do not violate the safety of the apartment’s escape when there is an incident such as fire and explosion, so people can use it with peace of mind. The bed should be placed in the middle of the room, not close to the window, the two sides should have space to move ”- said architect Toan. One of the risks when the house has young children is that the power outlet is too low, and children are easy to play with. Therefore, families with low power outlets need to install additional covers for electrical outlets to ensure safety.

Families should take the necessary safety measures to avoid unfortunate accidents to their children. According to the Westmead Children’s Hospital (CHW) in Australia, an average of 10 children are brought to CHW every year after falling from a balcony. Most of these children fall from their balconies, of which approximately 75% are under the age of five. Westmead Children’s Hospital provides care and treatment for 80,000 sick and injured children each year. This is the largest pediatric center in the state of New South Wales, Australia, with the capital city of Sydney; Child treatment in New South Wales, Australia and Pacific Rim countries. To protect children from unfortunate accidents from balconies, CHW has introduced balcony and railing safety recommendations. As defined by the CHW, a balcony is an area of ​​a building that is positioned higher than the ground. If the balcony is at a height of 1m above the ground, it must be surrounded (barrier) by a railing. A balcony railing as a guard or barrier is usually made of iron or wooden slats. Glass panels are also commonly used. How can children be injured at the balcony? Young children may get their heads, arms or legs stuck in between the gaps in the railing. Young children may fall over the gap between the railing if the distance between them is too large. The slightly older kids may slip or stumble over the balcony doorway and fall to the balcony floor. Children can also fall off the balcony if they can climb over the balcony railing. For example, horizontal bars on a railing can allow a child to climb over the railing. Items such as potted plants or outdoor furniture placed next to the railing can also be used as ladders for children to climb. According to CHW statistics, an average of 10 children are brought to this hospital every year after falling from a balcony. Most of these children fall from their balconies. Of the children brought to the CHW, approximately 75% are under the age of five, 40% occur in the summer, and three out of every five cases that are taken to the hospital are boys. During the period 2008-2018, 88 children were taken to CHW for treatment due to a fall from the balcony. A large number of those injuries are rated serious. Fall injuries, even from low heights, can be serious; “40% of fatal falls, among children under 15 years old in Australia, are from a height of less than 3 feet (91.44cm). Corridor windows on each floor are also potentially unsafe if precautions are not taken. How to prevent accidents from the balcony? Australia’s National Building Act requires balcony balustrades to be at least 1m high if the balcony is more than 1m above the surface below. Any space in the handrail should not allow a circular object 12.5cm in diameter to pass through. Where balconies are located more than 4 meters above the lower surface, the barriers must not have horizontal sections or resemble horizontal (climbable) sections between 15cm and 76cm above floor. According to CHW, to ensure the safety of children, families need to ensure that their family’s balcony or railing is at least 1m high and the distance between vertical bars is not wider than 12.5cm. Balcony balustrades should not have cross bars or the like that can allow young children to climb. All furniture, potted plants and other climbable objects should be kept away from the edge of the balcony. Adults should also beware of furniture that is light enough that children can pull to the edge of the balcony; Check the balustrades regularly to make sure they are in good condition; Supervise children while they are on the balcony and can lock the balcony doors to keep them out. In Vietnam, nowadays, one of the most popular ways to keep children safe from unfortunate balconies is to install safety nets. Especially in high-rise apartments, areas such as corridors of each floor, balconies, windows are places with potential risks of unsafety. The balcony safety net is made up of three main parts: the cable, two aluminum bars and the screws. The stainless steel core cables and plastic shells will be woven into a specialized aluminum bar system that is tightly mounted on the ceiling and railing. The usual distance between two cables is 5cm. This distance is enough to prevent children and many objects from getting through. The cost of installing safety net ranges from 150,000 VND to 180,000 VND / 1m2, depending on the installation area and materials. Answering questions of people related to the installation of safety cable nets in apartments, the Ho Chi Minh City Fire Department said: “The installation and supplementation of protective cable nets at the department The building does not affect the fire safety conditions of the building, however, these protective cable nets must be easily dismantled in case the fire department is approached. to serve the rescue and rescue work in case of fire and explosion incidents “. The safety net has a fairly simple structure, the installation cost is not too high and provides great support in ensuring safety for families in apartments or high-rise buildings, especially families with young children. Families should take the necessary safety measures to avoid unfortunate accidents to their children.

The need to install safety nets for apartments is increasing quite high. After a baby escaped death after falling from the 12th floor of an apartment building in Hanoi, the number of orders for an apartment safety net has increased from a few orders to a few tens, even hundreds a day. Quickly called a mechanic to install a safety net for the apartment corridor, Mr. Nguyen Van Tien (Gemek 2 apartment building, Hoai Duc, Hanoi) said he bought this apartment since he got married, but at that time safety net is not installed because it is not really necessary. However, recently, after many unsafe cases in the apartment, especially the case of a baby falling from the 12th floor of an apartment building in Hanoi, he immediately called a mechanic to put a safety net for his family. me. However, it takes two days for someone to install it. The reason is that most stores are “burned” orders. “Buying an apartment house, my favorite is the wide and beautiful view, so when I first bought it, I didn’t want the view to be obscured by the safety net. Besides, when there are only two couples, the need for safety nets is not really necessary. But now, the couple has a new child, the baby is quite active, so I install a safety net for more peace of mind ”, Mr. Tien said. The mentality of Mr. Tien is the common mentality of many families living in the apartment today. That is also the reason why the safety net market for apartment buildings these days is vibrant again. Mr. Nguyen Van Thang, owner of a shop installing safety nets in Hoai Duc (Hanoi), said that in the past, his company’s staff often went to new apartments to hand over to offer. Usually, the number of orders will increase strongly if there are many apartments handed over in the batch. But in recent days, he hardly has to go to offer, but the number of customers calling to order the company is quite large. He said: “If normally, every day there are only more or less customers calling to order, just a few days ago, the number of customers has increased by 7.8 times. In particular, today, I received more than 100 orders. Because the demand has increased dramatically, we increase the installation even after the break and at night. There are even more customers who have to wait until the next day ”. Mr. Thang also shared, safety nets for apartments have many types, the price of mesh 3 mm diameter is 150,000 VND / m2; 2.5 mm in diameter is priced at 140 thousand VND / m2. If the window pane is less than 1 m2, the regulated price is VND 250,000, including construction and materials. Safety net is a system of parallel cable tension frame with a small distance, about 5 – 15cm, not through the head. In terms of structure, the frame system consists of two rigid aluminum bars positioned above and below. These aluminum bars have pre-perforated holes at a predetermined distance and the cable is continuously threaded through the holes into a mesh surface. Most safety nets are made of 304 stainless steel material with a diameter of 2.5 – 3.5mm, coated with corrosion-resistant HDPE or PE plastic, which is very durable and has good bearing capacity. Mesh has advantages such as high durability, good bearing capacity, no scratching of limbs upon impact, no rust due to humid air, especially suitable for the climate of Hanoi. Safety nets in balcony, loggias or windows prevent people, pets from falling or climbing out. Besides, it works to prevent clothes or other objects such as bonsai pots, bird cages flying or falling below. In particular, the safety net in the apartment building must be able to be cut with specialized tools if a fire or emergency occurs to serve the rescue and rescue work. Mr. Hoang Van Ngoc, owner of a store that installed safety nets in Ha Dong (Hanoi) shared more, for the convenience of customers, the apartment safety nets are installed with a clothes drying frame. . Depending on the needs of customers, the store will have appropriate advice, but it is important to ensure maximum safety for customers. “Although demand for safety nets has increased in recent days, we will not increase prices,” Ngoc said. According to the Vietnam Construction Code on housing and public works – safety of life and health issued by the Ministry of Construction in 2008, the minimum height of handrails is specified: Houses, offices, schools school, office and public works of loggias and terraces at the position of 9 floors or more, the minimum height is 1.4 m. For works used by children under 5 years old, the balustrade must be constructed not for children to easily climb over and the gap must not exceed 10 cm wide. With handrails or loggias used with glass material, the glass is protected by a fixture, ensuring it is solid, no gaps are inserted into the 7.5 cm-diameter sphere, difficult to climb over to prevent prevent falling. However, because children are hyperactive, it is difficult to foresee the risks. Low cost, fast construction time, durable, installing a protective net is one of the timely solutions to increase the safety of today’s apartment buildings.

The protective net must be easily cut off Regarding the fact that some apartments are fitted with protective nets to ensure the safety of children in the balcony and windows, Associate Professor, Dr. Tran Chung admits that this is a quite convenient and effective tool in existing condominiums. now on. However, he noted that the material of the protective nets should be properly chosen because it is related to ensuring safety against fire and explosion. “As a rule, the balcony area of ​​the building has a very important task to rescue and rescue when there is a fire or incident in the building. The rescue force will use the means to pick up people through the area. balcony, “said Mr. Tung. Therefore, the space above the handrail is very necessary, absolutely not sealed or reinforced with fences, iron cages. If people install protective nets, it is necessary to use materials that are easy to cut off, not too solid. Assoc.Prof. Dr. Tran Chung, former Director of the State Department of Construction Quality Inspection (Ministry of Construction). Photo: ASHUI. Through the incident of the girl escaping despite falling from the 12A floor of the building that just happened, Mr. Tung said that this was an extremely rare event. Through each case, the authorities need to investigate and clarify the cause to widely propagate safety conditions in the apartment. Families living in the apartment building should observe and re-evaluate the safety level in the balcony hallways and their windows to adjust accordingly; Avoid unfortunate cases, especially in large urban areas with dense apartment density. The railing is up to standard but can still be accidental Talking about the height of the railing of the apartment building, Associate Professor, Dr. Tran Chung said that these details must meet the standards for the building to be accepted and put into use. “The regulations of the Ministry of Construction are very clear in this regard, the balustrades of apartments and high-rise buildings are specified that the height must be 1.4 m. The regulation also states that the structure of the handrail must not be there are more structures to climb, “said Dr. Tran Chung. In addition to the already specific technical legal corridor, in urban areas with high density of high-rise buildings, it is necessary to pay attention to checking and controlling safety conditions. Local inspection units, State management agencies in the construction field must strictly conduct pre-acceptance tests before they can be put into use. “The legal corridor and tools for us to manage have been guaranteed. However, similar cases still occur. We have to look at each case to dissect the cause”, Assoc. Race said. According to Dr. Tran Chung, if people install protective nets on the balcony, it is necessary to use materials that are easy to cut off, not too solid. Photo: Duc Anh. According to Mr. Tung, there are several main causes of these unfortunate accidents. In which, the balcony area is often used by people as a place to store, plant flowers and ornamental plants, accidentally turning into steps for children to climb and easily climb over the railing. Along with that, the balcony of the building is absolutely not a play place for children, especially when not supervised by adults. He suggested families with children should regularly close the doors to the balcony area, limit the opening of large-sized windows, limit bed racks, cabinets, window furniture … According to the construction standards of housing and public works in Vietnam issued by the Ministry of Construction in 2008, high-rise buildings or apartment buildings with children under 5 years old living or frequently frequented, balustrades must meet standards. Standard: A handrail gap does not pass a sphere 100 mm in diameter and is not constructed to allow children to easily climb over the railing. For houses, offices, schools, offices and public works, the minimum height is 1.4 m in the lot and terrace at the positions of 9 floors or more. The handrail in the stairs and other locations is from 0.9 m to 1.1 m. Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Manh: ‘I just want a simple life’ Driver Nguyen Ngoc Manh said that after saving the girl who fell from the 12A floor, he was asked by many people. This man just wants a simple life to continue his unfinished plans.

Apartment safety net is expensive After the incident took place on the afternoon of February 28 in an apartment in Hanoi, many families hired workers to install protective nets for balconies, windows, and corridors. The price ranges from 130,000 to 250,000 VND / m2. Apartment 60B Nguyen Huy Tuong (Thanh Xuan district, Hanoi) is one of many buildings that recorded accidents when children fell from a balcony on a high floor. The apartment where H. fell two days ago is located on the back, adjacent to 62 Nguyen Huy Tuong building. People said that when she discovered the incident, the little girl climbed over the railing of the apartment. The corrugated iron roof where Mr. Manh jumped to support baby H. sank in a corner. The people at the building are still not completely shocked by the incident. “My house is in the front, until last night my children told me to know the incident. I have lived here for 4 years. Right from the moment I got the house, I installed a protective net to pull from the railing to the ceiling outside the balcony so that when the children come to play, we will be more secure ”, Ms. P., resident on the 10th floor, said know. According to observations, the handrail of the apartments is about 1.3 m high, the distance between the bars is 15 cm. The apartments in the opposite apartment building are also in the state of houses with protective nets and no houses. According to Zing’s survey around Hanoi, the apartments of an apartment building on Nguyen Chi Thanh street (Ba Dinh district) have a rather low railing design, but out of 6 apartments on the photo, only one apartment is installed. protective mesh system outside the balcony. Designing an X-shaped handrail in an apartment on Hoang Dao Thuy street. In N3B building (Thanh Xuan district), many apartments have installed protection systems outside the railing, the rest have iron frame systems, with aluminum and glass frame doors. Most apartments in an apartment on Nguyen Chanh street are fitted with protective nets, some are ceiling-mounted, some only have a plastic mesh system below to facilitate clothes drying. People live in apartments or leave pots of plants on the balcony for decoration. If there is no protection system on the railing, the young children will easily climb up thanks to these potted plants. “I just moved here to live. From the beginning, the building management has talked to the apartment owner about installing a protective grid system. The apartments here have a balcony near the kitchen, and a backpack for drying clothes. Although there are seldom children at home, I still install it from the beginning to ensure safety, partly to prevent theft, ”said Ms. Thu Giang, living in an apartment in Long Bien district. To avoid small children climbing on flower pots on the balcony sticking to the railing, Mr. Cuong (Long Bien) installed a safety net system early from the time of repairing the apartment. Mr. Cuong also installed a protective net on the window in the children’s bedroom. According to the Vietnam Construction Code on housing and public works – safety of life and health issued by the Ministry of Construction in 2008, the minimum height of handrails is specified: Houses, offices, schools school, office and public works of loggias and terraces at the position of 9 floors or more, the minimum height is 1.4 m. For works used by children under 5 years old, the balustrade must be constructed not for children to easily climb over and the gap must not exceed 10 cm wide. With handrails or loggias used with glass material, the glass is protected by a fixture, ensuring it is solid, no gaps are inserted into the 7.5 cm-diameter sphere, difficult to climb over to prevent prevent falling.

The Salem house project was built in Thu Dau Mot city, Binh Duong province. The house is for a young couple and their first daughter is only four years old. Architect Story Architecture said that the work pressure and childcare pressure of the young couple in modern society is very great, so they need to design a well-ventilated house with lots of trees. This home will bring a feeling of relaxation, relieve pressure after a working day. In addition, there are also many playgrounds for girls to play, explore nature by themselves, and release energy. At the same time, parents will have more private time. Salem house has an area of ​​125 m², located in Thu Dau Mot City, Binh Duong Province. To create a feeling of lightness for the house, the architect uses white as the main color tone and blends gray and wood colors to make the house more elegant. The simple and neatly designed interior items also help the space to be wider and more airy. One of the baby’s play spaces The house offers a relaxing feeling and relieves the pressure after a working day. KTS Story Architecture does not use a partition between the kitchen and the backyard to create an interesting spatial connection. Therefore, when cooking or eating, homeowners feel as comfortable as in a garden restaurant. The corridor connects the two rooms to break the feeling of being bored by the handrail’s railing. The architect creates a green patch to cover the railing and make use of it as a playground for the baby. The backyard garden is also a place to play and relax for parents. The backyard and the kitchen were not separated by any partitions. The main color tone of the house is white and gray Large skylights placed in the middle and back of the house help get natural light and wind for the bedrooms. Bedroom walls with large glass panels overlooking the skylight and green areas help homeowners relax more when in the room. The architect designed two skylights in the middle and the back of the house. This skylight provides natural light and wind for the bedrooms on the second floor. Between floors, the architect arranged more playgrounds for children. Sunlight reflected from the skylight through the hallway leads to another space that makes the path more interesting. From the bedroom, the owner through the large glass overlooking the sky to relax while in the room. Simple bedroom, fully functional.

The original work is a house that has been built for a long time with deteriorated condition, old space, stuffy and pressing. When working with the Sun Concept design team, the homeowner wants the house to be renovated in a modern, fresh and tidy style, with more relaxing space right inside the house. With the wish that the members can gather together a lot to bond with feelings, the entire ground floor is reserved for common living spaces. The living room has a large area, neatly decorated with the main neutral colors, combined with light wooden cabinets to bring a warm and luxurious feeling. The kitchen and dining area are quite spacious by the owner. The whole ground floor area is arranged with recessed ceiling lights throughout to ensure adequate light output. Separating the living room and the kitchen, the dining area is a stylized closet with soft curves, adding an accent to the space. The kitchen is tidy and comfortable with full appliances, large white and wood color cabinets for convenient storage of furniture. Bedroom on the first floor is designed in a modern and simple style with cozy wooden colors. Large glass doors help to maximize natural light and wind circulation inside the room. The balcony is enlarged, arranged with benches and tables to make a relaxing place. A special feature of the balcony is the upper roof, made from dry rattan, woven together. This way both creates a highlight and can block the sun while ensuring the amount of light needed. The second floor has a modern designed bedroom. This is a room for the owner’s son, so the tone is neutral, showing strength. The space is neat, decorated only the necessary furniture and still has large doors and balconies to ensure the room is always airy and cool, bright enough and windy. After the homeowner spent 2 billion dong on remodeling, the house is more spacious, airy and tidy than before, with no redundant details. The colors and interior inside are also in harmony and with the family’s aesthetic.

Where possible, it is necessary to open the emergency exit at the back or side of the house. The fact is that most of the fires that occur cause loss of life as victims cannot get out of the fire when they first emerge; The reason is the lack of escape routes in the tube houses. Meanwhile, the firefighters and rescuers are very difficult to access these works, especially works in alleyways. The problem of escape in the tube house is very important to be concerned from an architectural perspective, is how easy it is to escape when the incident occurs. Most of the tube houses have the same disadvantage: narrow and deep, small area, little airy, surrounding space is usually close-up high-rise buildings. Therefore, in the design of tube houses and townhouses in urban areas, people often pay attention to the usable area, the distribution of rooms, and other facilities, but few people think about emergency exit plans. The stairs to the roof, if made convenient and easy to use, are also an effective escape route. In addition, due to concerns about theft, and safe use (avoid falling on high), the tube house is often built discreetly with multi-layered lock doors, shielding the facade with flower bricks, bars, nets, Iron cages, windows have iron flowers … so when something goes wrong, there is usually no way out and very easily suffocated. Also due to the specific characteristics of the tube building, this type of construction cannot / difficult to design fire protection according to common standards as well as the installation of fire alarm and fire fighting equipment such as large projects. Therefore, when there is a fire, it often causes very heavy damage to people and property. The emergency exit is really necessary for the tube house and should be seriously viewed from the perspective of architectural design … So where and how to arrange the escape route; and related solutions to minimize the damage in the event of a fire? A balcony is a good escape route while waiting for rescue. – The house should have a balcony, lo-gia: Townhouse should have a lo-gia balcony in front with balustrade. This is an effective escape route. The balcony and the lo-gia are not only an aesthetic part of the project, but also contribute to sun protection, rain protection and a escape area when something goes wrong. In the event of an indoor fire having smoky smoke, this area is also well ventilated to sustain life waiting for rescue. In the case of balconies, lo-houses do not use balustrades, but crank bars, nets … there should be a doorway that opens with a hinge, with a lock so that it can be opened when necessary. – The house should have a terrace and a skylight: The terrace is a large, airy space that helps to effectively escape like a balcony, a lo-gia. Depending on the specific terrain, the person in distress in the rooftop can escape to the next neighbor’s house, or wait for the rescue team to assist. The skylight in the townhouse helps to ventilate and escape smoke straight up when a fire incident occurs, reducing the smoke in the house that causes suffocation. – In the possible conditions for houses with more than one facade, the emergency exit should be arranged behind or on the side of the house, in case it is impossible to get out at the main door, exit at the side door. Key locking systems should be noted for their good performance, simplicity, and ease of operation. – Arranging the emergency staircase to the roof floor: Usually with a tube house, the roof floor is flattened to place the roof water tank; and often have a technical ladder from the terrace or some other area to the roof. This is also an important escape route. But for easy escape, this technical staircase needs to be designed to be convenient to use. Usually, these technical ladders are often made of steel plugged into the wall (monkey ladder) or using an A-type aluminum ladder, but if you switch to having a ladder with handrails, it will be much more convenient. The skylight is not only aesthetic, making the house airy and bright, but also has the effect of escaping. – Arrange for each floor to have at least two emergency exits: One exit to the stairs (up or down) and another escape route (window, balcony, loggia). – The main door, if there is a layer, make the door open outwards (in case possible), it will be easier to escape. Iron pull doors, aluminum rolling doors are not convenient for escape. Indoor doors such as room door, door opening to balcony, doorway, terrace should use a simple locking system, easy to operate; Should use locks with all kinds of latches, not using keys. Currently, some economically capable families have installed fire alarm and fire fighting systems for their family houses (townhouses, tube houses), however this is not common; So the architectural solution is still important. In addition, to ensure safety, families should equip themselves with fire extinguishers (CO2 bottles, powder bottles); and regularly check the positions of doors and emergency exits for easy operation in case of problems; as well as inspect and promptly handle the electrical system to prevent overload and fire. In addition, it is also necessary to have a number of emergency escape aids standing on hand such as: crowbar, hammer, rope … in appropriate positions. And the most important thing is the sense of fire alert, being careful in fire-related activities such as cooking, burning incense, burning votive, smoking … Building an escape scenario is also what. necessary to ensure human life./.

Debbie’s balcony garden

Hamburg is Germany’s second largest city, having the second largest Port of Hamburg in the European Union. The life here is quite exciting, bustling and extremely busy.

In the midst of that busy city life, the girl Debbie created a green space right on the family’s narrow balcony.

Debbie shared: “I am a cat lover and a lot of plants and plants. Until I get older with the years, I definitely still cultivate a love of these simple things in life and experimentation. on his balcony “.

The results were obtained from Debbie’s small garden

With a love for natural food and horticulture, choosing a horticultural job is understandable to Debbie.

“Imagine that you will enjoy the food that you grow yourself, moreover you can experience, learn to take care of plants to grow,” Debbie said.

In fact, Debbie came up with the idea of ​​creating a balcony garden before she lived in an apartment with a balcony.

Luckily Debbie later selected an apartment with up to three balconies and when moved to live, everything was fine.

“I’ve decided to dedicate a whole balcony just to growing vegetables and herbs. After five years of balcony gardening, I eagerly await each harvest,” Debbie said.

A small space planted a variety of fruit trees in the busy city.

On the large balcony area, Debbie chose to grow tomatoes, radishes, cucumbers, beetroots and luckily all of them were successful. Depending on the season, she grows some new vegetables or grows flowers, fruits and herbs to decorate the balcony.

Debbie also set up a tea table to enjoy a cool space, relax after a stressful working time.

Debbie understands that the balcony garden cannot use the natural regeneration processes as efficiently as a normal garden. So the girl used the same soil for the past 5 years and luckily everything worked fine.

To keep this going, Debbie has mixed soil from different planters to incorporate a variety of nutrients. In the spring, before planting new plants, Debbie mixes the soil with a nutrient-boosting fertilizer.

Most of Debbie seeds are purchased from the organic seed store. She also tries to collect more and more seeds from her own garden plants and use them the following season.

The biggest hurdle for Debbie is the preparation to take care of the garden every season. Each year Debbie experimented with a combination of small spaces and tree care and choosing the right soil type.

Debbie hopes she can inspire many other cultivators.

She said: “No matter how small your space is, you can get a great reward from growing. Even if there is only a small flower pot on the windowsill you can learn a lot about it. The nutrient needs of the plant, understanding how the weather influences the gardening for me, gardening requires perseverance and I appreciate it. change your view of things that you never thought before. ”
