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.

There are many ways to “chill” after work, some people choose to go home to relax in a warm room or with friends to drink, watch movies, drink coffee and chat … I often find a private place with good space to escape the noisy city and enjoy cocktails in colors that match the mood of the day.

This place is located in an old house in a small alley in the city center, spacious space, decorated simply but luxuriously with the main dark paint color. As the name suggests, the main idea of ​​the restaurant is to use recipes and ingredients available in the kitchen to prepare unique cocktails. Names of beverages that create a sense of closeness to Vietnamese people such as pho, glutinous rice, bread, toads, coconut snails, sour soup, perilla rice, cumin, kitchen buffalo … These drinks do not appear in the menu because the bartender created and named it on the spot. The bartender uses a variety of Vietnamese wine, soaked with vegetables such as perilla, dill, corn, chili … to create a new flavor.

Contrary to the narrow entrance, the space behind the heavy wooden door is a spacious and modern bar. This site is industrial-style with brick walls and surrounded by iron bars. The bar has an outdoor seating area, observing the bustling Bitexco building and Ho Tung Mau street. I do not like this seat, because it is the corner for those wishing to take check-in pictures.
