The old house located on the rooftop of a villa in Bac Tu Liem district (Hanoi) makes many passersby curious because of its unique architecture, combining traditional features inside a modern building. so. This project is owned by Mr. Nguyen Van Vu and his wife, Quynh Lien. The total area of ​​a floor is 460 m2, the area of ​​the old church is 100 m2. Looking from afar on Lien Mac dike, the house stands out. The outside is covered with antique imitation refractory brick. Quynh Lien shared that in the past, the family owned an old church, and the neighbors had not built much, so the space was very open. But when the storey building continued to grow, the house was blocked and lost. With an age of more than 100 years, the family calculates that the old house will deteriorate, so it needs to be repaired for long-term use. In addition, the family has a 4-generation tradition of making sculpture, so they also want more space to display products. Therefore, Ms. Lien said this unique project was born. Quynh Lien said that it took her husband about 2 years to come up with the idea of ​​​​designing a house that combines classic and modern. In 1 year of construction (from February 2020), she and her husband had to edit a lot by themselves until they liked it. “We want the villa to be both a place to keep and preserve the old church and a place for our parents to stay close and familiar. Relatives feel very happy to know that my husband and I will keep them. I got the old house because this is the place that holds so many memories of people in the past,” Quynh Lien shared. Ms. Lien said that before putting it on the rooftop, the entire old church had to be demolished, brought to a wood workshop in Quoc Oai district for repair, and then returned to the roof of the villa. The traditional wooden house structure of the church is still preserved with wooden trusses, fish-scale tile roof and 3 compartments and 2 wings. The traditional layout is still maintained, with enough counters, mahogany furniture, sofa tables and chairs. The small Buddha altar is at the top, then the family altar, the altar to worship the gods. The hundred-year-old horizontal paintings and couplets are still preserved. The family added a few details in the design such as wooden floors, self-contained toilets, glass windows… to match the modern lifestyle. The roof, the owner uses traditional jackfruit wood to make the support. The new tile is custom-made according to the original prototype. At the rooftop campus, Ms. Lien’s family decorated more miniatures, aquariums, etc. with pure Vietnamese decoration. In addition, many products made by the Lien family, such as Buddha statues, musical couples, etc., are also displayed around the yard. Another highlight in the innovative structure of this building is that the courtyard brick foundation is not red brick but white brick. According to the owner, the house on high is easy to catch the sun, so the white tile will be reduced, which makes the floor cooler. At the same time, the decorations will stand out, not mixed in color. The steps entering the old house are also changed, looking new and modern. “I maintain and develop, not just rebuild like the ancient way, the landscape is more suitable for the current and more innovative lifestyle,” Lien explained. Around the old house, Ms. Lien planted trees such as apples, jackfruit, star fruit, guava, bougainvillea, vi… to make the space cooler. The overall design of the villa has 5 floors. In the photo is the space on the first floor to receive guests, the mezzanine floor as a room to hang pictures, the family’s sculpture museum. The 2nd floor is a gallery of sculpture products of the production company, the 3rd floor is the family room, the 4th floor is the old church and where grandparents live, displaying other works. Finally, the 5th floor is the gym and technical room. The 5th floor ceiling design space is like a park, both a place for children and grandchildren to play, and a place to gather to enjoy the family’s BBQ. The lighting system is installed around the house space. Thanks to the lighting system, the house stands out and sparkles more when it’s dark.

Place to save memories That old life recedes as quickly as possible into the past like a nap. That was the 70s and 80s of the last century, the time we could never forget with the busy days, the “big screen screen projection, earth theatrical performances” was very special. It was so innocently interesting and the “incidents” lingered in the cooperative’s storehouse full of memories. I remember vividly about the warehouse yards of the three villages of Tri Can, Kien Hung and Duong Hoa. The three cooperative warehouses are in three different villages, but the building style is very similar. When we were growing up, the warehouse was ever there. The yard is very large. All three are located in the center of three villages to facilitate collective activities when the village holds games on holidays, New Year and cultural performances between production teams when the planting season begins, The harvest is over … A movie screening session at the cooperative warehouse yard. (Artwork from the internet) Tri Can village is a warehouse of the second team as the center of three production teams: One, Two, Three. Kien Hung village is the warehouse yard belonging to Team Five, which is the center of four production teams: Bon, Nam, Sau, Bay and this is also the central warehouse yard of Thieu Hung commune. There is another yard in Duong Hoa village. This warehouse is centrally located in the production team 10 for 4 teams: Eight, Nine, Ten and Eleven. At that time, the warehouses at that time, during the rice harvest season, all the production teams of the three villages gathered rice for plucking. By the way, this yard is used to dry rice. During the season, rice was spread over the yard and the young men were assigned to guard the whole area. These days, my hometown is happy like the association, I think back to remember and regret it. The warehouse yard is also a place for mobile film projection teams and art troupes of the province to visit and perform for my hometown people to enjoy with neighboring communes whenever there is an emulation movement. Each warehouse yard is a row of solid and solid warehouses. The warehouse was built very big, very big, located inside the yard and arranged very tidily for the convenience of cars, tractors and oxcarts to pull in and out. The warehouse area has many large houses, used to store staple food, the door is tightly closed so that thieves cannot get in and steal, extending a few rows of headlines. The column is made of something that is difficult to peel off. It seems that the warehouse belongs to a rich farmer from a very distant childhood. The roof is tiled with fish scales, this type of tile is difficult to find nowadays, sometimes there are still a few houses left, but the moss is old and old. This tile roof, birds and bats love because this is the quietest place for them to live because the ceiling is very high, no one can play with. Warehouse fence walls are built with bricks, high green stones. On the wall of that fence, people planted many fragments of glass bottles. We dare not play with these glassware for fear of bleeding. Fear of ghosts – an interesting childhood fear At the end of the rice harvest season or there is no event, the warehouse yard will return to a quiet, dull look and only the rice plucking machine is waiting for another harvest season to come. The tranquility of the yard and the ventilation are the ideal places for our children to play. In the afternoon, we gathered to hop on the ground to measure and measure the length of the yard. Remembering the long yard, we jogged from the north to the south end of the yard tired. The yard is tiled with the red ship, the square brick next to the size of 30 cm, straight line. On this brick background, watching the screen projection on the big screen is very interesting. Because the yard was too large, the children gathered together to count how many rows and bricks would take a long time to finish. Tiles are glaring in the eyes. We are also kind of goofy, so we count the number of bricks for sweating to have a quiz about ice cream betting. Yet many of them also gave up, sometimes even adults. My grandmother heard us arguing about winning and losing about the number of bricks in the garlic-stained yard and immediately threatened: “The yard is hiding a lot of ghosts”. Hearing that, we all panicked and did not dare to go there to play anymore, hiding behind her and whispered: “Grandma, people build a very high wall! How can ghosts hide?”. She did not explain any more. Seeing her silent, we feared and skeptically thought of all sorts of things to weave, whispering loud and small. The fear made us feel even more that if anyone in the village died, it would be early evening that we would not dare to pass the door of our room any more. We believe she is right because she is the person with the most image of that warehouse yard. From then on, whenever we walked across that warehouse yard, no one would say anything to each other, so we could not dare to turn around, afraid to turn around and fear that we could not run. We got past the front yard of the courtyard, and we breathed a sigh of relief, our faces rustling. Many of us even came up with a way to walk across the yard by asking the dog to follow to ease our fear. But sometimes when passing by, I kept hearing the birds singing in the warehouse and the wind blowing even more scared. During the day I was scared to wonder what happened at night. Hello! We scrambled to go in the middle. If the ghost clings, there are people who go first and go after. So every mother sent to the edge of the pond to pick vegetables and it was a bit dark, she would make it up like this and that to avoid going through the yard of the warehouse where she said there were “ghosts”. Later we thought “what the hell are you afraid of? Let’s be a hero!” and just invite each other out to the warehouse to play hide and seek to delight. Time passed by, the warehouse yard in my three villages was gone. Instead, they are the homes of the people in my hometown. Now that the decades have passed, we remember forever the storage yard full of memories at that time when we were delighted to play on the drying ground of the cooperative, and also went to the cinema, opera, row … Sometimes I come back and hang around here in the language of my homeland.

Inside public bathhouse Kogane-yu in Tokyo, Japan. (Source: Nikkei Asia) Yoga or vinyl is not a typical feature of sento – the typical public bathhouse in the country of cherry blossoms. But now, this new breeze is necessary for Shimbo Takuya, the owner of two bathrooms in Tokyo. Shimbo, 41, is the third owner of Daikoku-yu, a 71-year public bathhouse north of Tokyo. Three years ago, he and his wife, Tomoko, took over Kogane-yu, the old bathhouse five minutes’ walk away. Now, as 95% of Japanese build bathrooms at home, the number of customers using public bath services is shrinking and many sento are closed. Even so, Shimbo’s boss still believes that sento will not be completely eliminated from the Japanese life. New ideas like selling groceries or opening the door of Mr. Shimbo’s Daikoku-yu bathroom all night before the Covid-19 pandemic attracted 800 customers a day. So he decided to completely change the Kogane-yu facility. Although built with new concrete, golden wood and tiled, Kogane-yu retains the core elements of the classic sento, such as the changing room, the noren cloth dividing each room, the rows of low showers. and separate large bathrooms, of course, the brilliant picture of Mt.Fuji is indispensable. “I use vinyl music for my sento, which is the start of a great conversation between young and old guests,” said Shimbo. I really feel that sento can play an important role in connecting clients. People in Tokyo in particular and Japan in general always love bath culture ”. In Japan, sento is not just for bathing, it is a place for the community, a place for people to relax, chat. With the work pressure on the young Phu Tang, sento will become the ideal place to relieve stress and build more relationships. Glory (According to Nikkei Asia)
