Architect Vo The Duy (CTA | Creative Architects) will guide you through four effective ways to save money on construction costs. Clearly define the necessary space needs First, the homeowner needs to assess the needs of the space used for clarity. In addition to the sleeping space, the kitchen, living room or separate toilet space for each room can be reduced or eliminated depending on the case. Besides determining the space the family really needs, homeowners should think about grouping common spaces (spaces with similar functions together), such as kitchen – dining, or guest – eating, studying. – common activities… The grouping of spaces is valuable when choosing a covering solution. For open spaces, common living, the covering solution can be eliminated, both saving costs and creating a ventilation environment for this area. The less space, the more economical and quick the construction and maintenance. A model of love housing groups spaces, dividing areas that need to be covered and not covered to limit the wall area. Prioritize main space With a tight budget, you should not spread the investment to every space in the house. For example, most Vietnamese people are interested in the living room, so we can invest money for finishing materials or furniture for chairs, tables, lamps… for this area. The remaining spaces such as bedrooms, bathrooms save costs, use sparingly for design. For some individuals who prioritize sleeping space, on the contrary, they will prioritize investment in beds, cabinets, glass doors, lighting… Choose a simple solution, easy construction The simple selection of materials and construction methods will reduce the cost of materials, accompanying construction equipment, quality control, etc. Besides, it also saves construction and travel time. Calculating the optimal use of materials, limiting redundancy is also a way to save construction costs. Wall house (CTA | Creative Architects) uses burnt brick walls – defective products to reuse for facades, reducing costs for materials as well as finishing and maintenance. Take advantage of the available, natural element Using old materials such as bricks, tiles, wood, old doors or using local materials will save money on buying materials and transportation costs. Taking advantage of the surrounding landscape for works with vacant land is also very important. For example, taking advantage of the shade of trees and lakes to get shade and cool the wind.

Recently, a netizen shared a picture of a house with a small area, perhaps less than 2m wide. So the owner had to take advantage of a very small space next to the stairs to make a toilet. When the picture was shared, many people “rolled their eyes” because they couldn’t believe there was such a house. Although the owner tries to take advantage of the area, it seems that there is no entrance to the toilet. In fact, if you look closely, you can see that the owner has cleverly arranged the entrance to be a small board, which can be folded and stored when there is no need to go to the toilet. Most netizens think that this toilet is suitable for those who are adventurous and love to explore. However, the toilet does not have a door, so it is a bit embarrassing to go to the bathroom. “The owner is in the style of an action and adventure movie. If you have a stomachache and have to go to the toilet, this must be very scary.” , one netizen commented. Another said: “If you have to go to this toilet at night, you may fall face down. For those with a history of fear of narrow spaces, they probably won’t dare to go to this toilet again.” However, the narrow toilet is one thing, the detail that makes netizens equally afraid is the stairs. “The stairs are both narrow, steep and without handrails, going up and down this way is scary, even more scary than sitting in the other toilet.” A netizen expressed an opinion. Not long ago, a netizen shared a picture of a rather long house but less than 1m wide, surprising everyone. The sharer asked whether the owner of this house will sleep horizontally or vertically. As observed from the photo taken, the width of the house is not equal to a small table. Even if it’s hard for two people to go in For a person entering and leading a motorbike, it was also difficult to the point of leaning over. This image is real and not a photoshop product. This is the house of a resident in Dong Nai province. In the past, the image of this house has also caused a “network storm”. Inside the house there is a ground floor and a floor, an area of ​​​​1.3m x 10m.

People and scenes revolve around things become connected and harmonious, ensuring the new existence of the work is balanced and inseparable from the actual context. The building was renovated from an old house on a high slope. True to the meaning of the work, when stepping inside, it is filled with light, like “sunbeams through the leaves”. Architects AD9 Architects use wooden doorways and slats to express the meaning of the building “sunbeams through the leaves”. The change in light effects, shadows cast through each time of the day are different expressions of vision and emotions for the experience that each individual is different, but the interesting thing is that. It is a system of windows and wooden slats that create conditions for sunlight to enter. White horizontal blinds make the house more airy, but still ensure privacy when needed.

Stilt house is a typical type of house in the southwest river region. The old house was formed in 1968, so it has revealed many traces of time. In addition, the flood season in Hong Ngu does not rise to the residential area as before, so the stilt house becomes no longer suitable for the current life rhythm. Tien’s house is located in Hong Ngu City, Dong Thap province, adjacent to a river. Tien’s house has an area of ​​119 m². The problem posed for the Ha workshop design team is to create a close, open, cozy space. At the same time, to overcome the problems of the old house, especially bringing a new color in the model of the house in the suburban area. The Ha design workshop team designed an open space that is both open and cozy The gate of the house is unique because of the steep sloping roof lines. Viewed from above, it can be seen that the sloping roof system turns down to make the main space of the house. In it, the worship area is placed in the center of the house. The altar space connects with the living room and other spaces. All the spaces in the house seem to touch the garden space, which was also the design team’s purpose. The objects in the house bring intimacy. Separating the worship room, living room from the kitchen is a separating wall. Ha workshop design team shared: “This house marks the maturity of a child and is a place to once again demonstrate the family love after the days of building together.” Although the design of the house has antiquity, there are a number of highlights that bring fresh colors different from those in this suburban area. The house mainly uses wooden materials. The glass doors and the slope roof are built firmly to bring the building elegance and ventilation. In addition, the washing corner is arranged neatly with many surrounding trees. The design team also takes advantage of light sheet to create enough light for this space.

With tube houses in urban areas, the interior is often dark, so many homeowners build a skylight well from the ground floor to the terrace, then cover the light with roofing panels. Light will shine through the roofing to brighten the indoor space. Size The size of the skylight depends on the area of ​​the house but should not be less than 1m2. The higher the house, the wider the well. The skylight is composed of 3 parts, including: the foot in contact with the ground, the back and the roof. Sky wells usually account for 10% of the housing construction area. (Illustration) Sky-wells can arrange plants, flowers, rockery in combination with living space or dining room. The back section is the lighting for the upper floors. The roof is for lighting and ventilation. According to construction codes, the area of ​​the skylight usually accounts for 10% of the housing construction area. If the house is more than 100m2 of construction space, the ventilation should be 20%. However, this ratio depends on the shape as well as the height of the house to create a corresponding empty area for air circulation. Material Currently, architects often use glass roof materials or smart plastic roofs with iron frames to protect the skylight. If the house is too narrow, you can use clear glass or plastic to increase the light into the house. Or you can reduce the intensity of the light of the skylight by using color materials for the roof, creating enough brightness while cooling the interior of the house. The current trend is to use glass roof materials or smart plastic roofs with iron frames to protect the skylights. (Illustration) To bring nature into the home, homeowners can use hanging pots or green vines on the wall. Under the floor, mixed with ornamental plants, homeowners can create small lakes, drop fish or flowers to create a balance in terms of feng-shui. If a small skylight space can be graveled, put a few more ceramic pots or decorations, to bring a cool highlight to the house. On the wall of the skylight, homeowners can clad rocks as highlights, decorative patterns vividly for the wall. Location The trend of clearance to get light and wind from the roof is widely used in tubular houses with only one open side. To maximize the effect of the sky well, the homeowner should only place the skylight in the back or middle of the house. The back part of the house is always dark and mysterious, so the “exchange” with the air and light is very necessary. Wind circulation direction has way in and out. It is the vent that creates the suction force to let air go from the front doors into the house or vice versa. Skylights are usually located in the center or back of the house. (Illustration) The most common is the skylight located on the staircase area. This is the most suitable place because the stairs are usually located in the middle of the house and adjacent to the kitchen. If the house is too long, it is necessary to have more holes in the back of the house to circulate the air. Therefore, the number of skylights can be more than 1, depending on the design, it can be 2-3 sky wells. Solution against sun, rain Skylights play an important role in improving air, especially in tube homes. However, if the sky well design is not properly designed, it will become the place to transfer heat into the house when it is hot or the courtyard is the culprit pouring water into the house every time it rains. If improperly designed, the skylight can become a place to transfer heat into the home. (Illustration) To bring into play the effect of preventing heat and avoiding rain in the courtyard, it is necessary to combine the following solutions at the same time: Avoid organizing the corridor inside the house because it will make the spaces more pressing; use open partitions to divide the indoor space; Cover direct sunlight or paint brightly on courtyard walls; planting trees; to limit the use of dark cement and stone bricks; use heat-resistant paint for skylights; using automatic misting system … Safe Skylights are most likely unsafe to use, especially with young children. Therefore, if there are no flowers or safety nets between floors in the sky well, it is necessary to pay attention to the system of adjacent windows and handrails to ensure a safe height. The spokes in the railing should not be too wide to prevent children from passing through. Phuong Anh (synthetic)

Architect Story Architecture said that when living in the city, the host faces many pressures of work life, living expenses … Therefore, a house with a lot of space to relieve pressure is the criterion. the design of this project.

The courtyard and greenery attached to the kitchen and dining space helps homeowners relax more when eating alone. The living room with a large array of glass and surrounding greenery helps to free up the view and create comfort when living in a small space. The architect has a large yard at the back of the house as an ideal outdoor play and relaxation space. Trees combined with wooden furniture create a close feeling. Looking down from above to the backyard. Stairs with iron railings and wooden surfaces are the only way to the other floors. All materials to make this house are natural, rustic and bring a closeness, simplicity but extremely comfortable to the homeowner. Particularly, the bedroom, the architect designed a floor panel so that the homeowner can watch the sky relax before falling asleep and the early sunlight will wake the owner instead of alarming by the phone. Floor openings are designed with curtains that are pulled back when needed. The bedroom is adjacent to the floor space. In addition, the house also has curved paintings with a soft feel, destroying the rigidity of the small house. These The free-form curves in the stairwell area also make it more enjoyable to move. A corner of the bathroom has a cement-colored wall with a coarse feel. The house is located in a small alley so it is quite close to the opposite house, so privacy is very focused. Therefore, the architect designed a sunshade system to help the house get light, wind, but still private, not disturbed. The architect also designed a sun-blocking bar, so the living room was flooded with light and greenery This barrier helps homeowners have a private, quiet space. A chill corner on the upper floor.

In 2017, Tim Davidson (Florida, USA) got her “ultimatum” to live separately, starting an independent life. As a lover of minimalism, Tim decided to focus on only the essentials: the bedroom, the living area, the kitchen and the entrance. So a small home would be the perfect solution, according to Bored Panda. Tim then bought a 25-square-foot mobile home for $ 70,000 and named it Tiffany. “I just feel that it perfectly suits me.

Indoor spaces are well utilized, from space-saving smart furniture to modern and cozy motifs. Tim and girlfriend can completely live comfortably in this house. After having Tiffany, Tim started looking for a land to live in for a long time. He found a small island also in Florida on the Zillow real estate website for $ 200,000. “It was raw land and was not used for anything, not even an address,” Tim said. When moving to the island, Tim realizes that Tiffany can be unsafe if there is a storm or strong winds. So he started asking for permission from the city government to build another house on the island. His second house and his girlfriend have a solid octagonal shape, measuring 29 square meters. “The roof trusses are like spokes on a wheel, if one is pulled up by a hurricane wind, the rest will act together to keep the roof stable. This house is guaranteed to be solid for 50 years.” “Tim explained. In normal weather, he rented out a second house to get more income. The interior of the second house is simply decorated, modern and also makes the most of the space. Because of the octagonal shape, the house feels spacious, filled with natural light. In addition, the island of Tim also has a small warehouse surrounded by glass, used as a gathering place for eating, receiving guests or a common living space. “I am very satisfied with my little paradise. A living space that is both quiet, fresh and comfortable”, said Tim. The American boy and his girlfriend also set up a separate Instagram page to update photos of the houses and life on the island, attracting more than 12,000 followers.

As a food reporter, I regularly work and meet my partners in many cafes around Ho Chi Minh City. The four criteria for a destination I choose are good quality, quiet drinks, well-designed space and staff attitude to professional guests. The 5 suggestions below can help you choose a site that’s right for you. These are the places I go to, especially when working alone. Suggested dishes: Bottle milk tea, pea flower latte, coldbrew, spaghetti with minced beef sauce … Beanthere Cafe is nestled in the old apartment building on Dong Khoi street. Since it’s on the top floor and there is no elevator, I have to walk to the shop. In return, I have interesting experiences here. First, Beanthere Cafe has diverse designs for each customer needs. I find indoor space with comfortable wooden furniture to get my job done. Here, there are many positions with glass, creating an open space and flooded with light. The balcony is where you can see the Bach Dang River and the rooftop with Bitexco view. Second, the destination for drinks is not too unique in taste, but quite plentiful. I often choose to enjoy coffee or tea, cakes on light music. Finally, the staff are friendly and attentive, always have cold water ready and chat when guests arrive. Suggested dishes: Strawberry passion fruit tea, red pomegranate tea, dalgona, homemade fruit tea, goji berry tea … When I asked about a suitable quiet space to work, my college friend introduced Gracious Coffee. My first impression is peaceful space. When I arrived, the shop did not have too many customers, most of them sitting alone or gathered in groups. The shop has a minimalist design, details such as clocks, sofas, wooden shelves, door frames … are decorated in harmony with white – brown tones. Despite the common space, the areas are divided according to the needs and the number of guests. In the front there is a fresh garden with many green patches. The menu featured fruit tea and cakes decorated beautifully. The staff at the restaurant are not many, there are only 2 friends who mix and serve, but the water rises quickly, the security man is fast and enthusiastic. If you are coming here for the first time, you should pay attention because the Gracious Coffee does not have a sign. Suggested dishes: Chamomile Tea, Citrus cold brew, chrysanthemum longan tea, sexy reddy … 80’s Coffee, a 24-hour coffee shop, is a frequent destination for many young people when they need to work overnight. The highlight of the restaurant is not only the opening time but also in the semi-classical decoration style with brick walls, wooden tables combined with golden lights, making the space light and relaxed. The menu has a variety of exotic drinks, the price is quite high but the quality is commensurate with. In addition, the shop also serves cakes and savory cakes from VND 35,000. Suggested dishes: Earl gray tea, egg coffee, mixed berries cascara tea, coffee cereal … When it comes to choosing a workplace or meeting with friends, Oromia is my most trusted destination. The shop has many branches, located in District 1 near Bitexco and walking street, so it is convenient to move. There are indoor and outdoor spaces, multiple check-in corners and seasonal décor. The minus point lies in drinks that taste quite normal but at high prices. The salon also needs to overcome the prevention of food smell. Suggested dishes: Lemongrass kumquat tea with chia seeds, Amazing tea, black tea with cream, chocolate ice blended … Amazing Coffee impresses diners thanks to the modern Tay Nguyen architectural style, open space with many trees. The shop has a private area for large groups of people. Places are ideal for those who want to find places to work, talk and date. Located in the heart of District 1, but the price is not high compared to the quality and service that customers receive. Professional staff, gentle talk.
