Architect NGHIA-ARCHITECT said that the biggest difficulty facing the architect is to ensure that the renovation is in accordance with the planning regulations and exterior requirements applied in urban areas. At the same time, meeting customers’ needs in changing the original structure to become a more cohesive space for the family. The renovation must be carefully considered and studied to create a unique facade. The outer sun shading layer helps the house to be more introverted and discreet According to the original plan the house had three basic problems that needed to be addressed. Firstly, the old status quo is in a typical form and reveals the inadequacies because it cannot exploit the open space element – a characteristic of garden villas. The architect designed the use of vertical wooden bars as a wind door covering the facade to increase the unique and sophisticated look. The louvre (sunshade) on the façade gives a unique look, although not too fussy but still enough to break the way for the house. This louvre layer contributes to reducing the sunlight that is radiated directly into the windows Second, what is needed to create an open house is to combine the living space with many trees. A corner of the garden overlooking the water with many trees. Family dining area. Third, the effective design layout for the second floor revolves around the idea of ​​bringing more interaction between family members while ensuring essential privacy. Instead of a doorless wardrobe inside the main bedroom, the architect decided to move it outside to connect the bedroom space of parents and children. In addition, the architect decided to invest in a separate play space for the children. A small steel staircase can be reached from the bedroom. The room layout helps to stimulate the dynamism and imagination of young children. The architect designed the second floor around the idea to closely link family members. Simple and modern interior. Another view of the living room has a relaxing sitting corner. The first floor and the second floor are connected by floor clearance. Each space of the house opens up a green space outside through sliding glass doors. Each bedroom space is calculated to have maximum access to the elements of ventilation and natural light. One of the strengths of this project is that each room opens up a green space. The master bedroom has full access to sunlight and wind.
