Floating houses are no longer a strange idea to residents living in rivers, lakes and swamps, but their designs are quite simple and not as diverse as modern ground-floor models. However, Suzanne Stefan’s 2021 Housing Award-winning project from the American Institute of Architects (AIA) offers a new perspective for those who prefer floating homes. Stefan designed a floating house on a floating foundation made in the 1990s that is close to the beach and has access to a garden near Portage Bay. The house consists of a single floor with a total area of ​​60 square meters. The exterior walls are clad in dark cedar and Richlite, a synthetic material made from plastic blotting paper. The house uses sliding doors to save space. The inside of the house is divided into two zones. One side consists of the common spaces – open kitchen and dining area, separated from the living room by retractable fabric curtains. The rest of the house has two wood-paneled bedrooms and a bathroom. The designer used glass doors in all rooms except the bathroom to create a sense of open space for the house. The floor is made of whitewashed oak and pine. In the kitchen, stainless steel was used for the countertop and backsplash. The house has 3 skylights, allowing natural light to comfortably enter the house.

But in the rare times when she left the curtains on, Suzy also captivated the audience with her sweet and gentle look.

The apartment is so hot and hot that the living space becomes stuffy. 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)

Glass table is a popular furniture in many families. However, the glass will always exist stains that are not easy to remove. Furthermore, the glasses are very susceptible to scratches and they are especially visible on dark surfaces. To keep the glass table beautiful, you have to clean it 24/7. Long-fiber carpets are prone to dust so they need to be cleaned more often. Animals really love these rugs as well. Not every room needs a door. Doors take up a lot of space, usually an entire corner. Therefore, homeowners should be careful with the doors in the narrow hallway. A cheap alternative can be a curtain or a folding door. The fabric curtain is too long to get dirty quickly, while making small rooms look even smaller. If there are furniture near the windows then they are not a good idea either. White furniture looks great, but over time people realize that this furniture has to be cleaned at all times. Furthermore, the all-white design isn’t as interesting as the multi-color design. The sink next to the window keeps you working and sightseeing, but according to the designers, the splash of water splashing on the windows makes you need to clean it often. Artificial stone sink looks better than conventional stainless steel. However, it requires special cleaning products. You also cannot put heavy objects in it. The standing bath requires a lot of space and has a special design. If you want a standing bath, you will need a curtain that covers the entire tub to prevent water from leaking. With glass shower doors, if not well cleaned, the door can be moldy. Also, the glass will always become cloudy if you do not use special cleaning agents. A tile counter in the bathroom or kitchen is an unusual idea. One way or another, water will collect on the lines and they will turn dark very soon. Therefore, you will also have to clean them regularly. Photo source: Brightside Video: House 25m2- the opportunity to have a house for many people? Source: VTV24

Serious illness but premature death, the uncles and aunts live long life with their children. Snail eating is too time consuming but craving forever Snail is ranked in the lower ranks of marine dishes; because snail eating is too time consuming and men in the old days still classified snail as a woman’s food … peeking! Nowadays, snails are not up to any rank because of time, so for some people snail is still an unforgettable dish every time the season comes; A prepared can of snail costs 40 to 50 thousand. The seller boiled the boiled snail, put it on the fire; Next to it is chopped lemongrass, chili powder, fish sauce, spices, and a handful of lemon thorns.

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)
