While the West facing house has many disadvantages because it is the direction of the setting sun, the afternoon will absorb a very high amount of heat. Therefore, the west facing house is usually very hot. However, there is still a way for the West facing house to overcome this shortcoming. Architect Bui The Long (CTA | Creative Architects) said that there are two notes for building a west-facing house, including space layout and sunlit surface design. For the west-facing space, the functional spaces that can be arranged are spaces that are rarely used, with hollow nature such as stairs, skylights, corridors, warehouses, toilets, gardens… to create separation from the main use spaces. T-house project (CTA | Creative Architects) with a west-facing facade, a solution of covering walls combined with ventilation, light and side corridors to reduce heat. For the surface of the building directly exposed to the sun, there are many ways to solve it. For example, using insulating materials such as planting trees or using blue systems to block the sun, create shade, cast shadows on the surface of the wall, reduce heat absorption, etc. Parallel to that is the problem of natural ventilation. The surface of the wall needs to be well shaded from the sun but still has to be ventilated, creating air convection, quickly cooling the inside of the building. The hot air rises up, but it will hang around in the building causing heat if there is no way to escape. Therefore, it is necessary to design ventilation boxes and slots to create convection and air circulation in the house. In summary, the overall solutions of space arrangement, shading, shading and ventilation will solve the disadvantages of west-facing buildings. Homeowners need to combine many solutions, not a single element.

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

In particular, the basic furniture for a narrow space has normal use, but the interior should have a simple shape, limited details and patterns. In addition, colors should be preferred to choose light and bright colors such as white, nude tones or uniform wall colors. With a narrow space, the choice of furniture should be limited, only the items that are really necessary for that space will be used, avoiding redundant additions and occupying an area that seems tight in sight. With a narrow house space, the choice of furniture should be limited, only choosing the furniture that is really necessary. For example, a narrow living room space, the sofa should choose a two- or three-seat bench, the accompanying stool is a backless chair, the accompanying sofa table is a single, round or square table. Besides, table diameter or width 600 mm is enough. In terms of the need, is it really necessary to remove the sofa table or not. For dining tables, it is preferable to use round or square tables if the area does not allow. If the table is rectangular instead of choosing a separate dining chair, the homeowner can choose a bench seat to increase the number of people that can be used. T-house (CTA | Creative Architects) with kitchen space combined with dining area is designed with light, bright colors, using benches to increase seating. Architect Bui The Long added that the common interior layout into a multifunctional system is also a solution for narrow house space. In addition, the interior system also brings a higher aesthetic effect in terms of form. For example, the bedroom, the arrangement of the desk, the dressing table, the TV shelf, the wardrobe… the same wall with the minimum dimensions will make the room neat but still fully functional. Folding, smart, functional interior designs are also a solution that is also very popular today.
