Architectural Trends In a conversation with a female architect, she is the author of many drawings of houses and apartments filled with trees in many cities, I asked her if she had a common denominator of the personality of homeowners. are not. This female architect said that the vast majority of her clients are highly educated people who have an artist’s soul and love nature and plants. They are willing to narrow the space of the kitchen, bedroom, living room, to make room for natural space: skylights, rockeries, green areas… There are new 4-hour houses built new. divided into 2 floors, in the middle of the house where mango trees and milkweed trees have been planted for a long time and best of all, the architect has kept the status quo. Sitting in the house reading a book, drinking a cup of coffee under the tree, but feeling like sitting in the garden. The green space in the house creates a sense of relaxation for the people living in it Photo: DINH THU HIEN – CAM NHUNG Of course, implementing the difficult problem of designing a house so that it is beautiful and useful, that is the talent of the architect. There are green areas in the house after a period of operation that cannot be “fed”, because of lack of sunshine, must gradually be replaced with green patches of artificial grass. But that’s how life works. Must go to come. If you don’t dare to do anything, this life is too safe and boring. I once visited my sister’s house in District 7 (HCMC), looking at the small landscape of the aquarium and aquatic plants right in the living room on the ground floor, it was so beautiful, everyone who came to was captivated and admired forever. . It takes a lot of effort for the owner to maintain such beauty and comfort. Love enough, nature will innocently step in Many homeowners of green houses have really found pleasure and relaxation in taking care of trees, as a way of life balance. After a full day and a busy working week, many large families gather and divide the work to best preserve the green areas, as a concept of love and care for each other in a beautiful living space. Nowadays, you want to have green plants in your bedroom, office, kitchen… it’s also easy to do. Many varieties of plants suitable for growing indoors are for sale, easy to find and buy. The house has a large area, the owner can grow many trees. If space is limited, narrow, people can grow in small pots, put on the table, on the bed … Nature enters our homes in so many different ways. The water plant grown in a small glass bottle placed on the washbasin or bathroom shelf is also enough to add a little joy to waking up every morning. The space on the balcony is also wide enough to plant a few clusters of roses in pots, taken care of so that the flowers are regular and “fat” as desired. Potatoes that are cut in half to be placed in a glass bowl also sprouted and placed on a cute decorative kitchen shelf. A little grain of rice sprinkled in a small hand-held ceramic pot is placed on the desk, and the dining table feels warm. It’s as simple as that, but it doesn’t need to be expensive. Only when there is enough love, nature will spontaneously step into your home. Green space on the balcony Photo: DINH THU HIEN – CAM NHUAN Recently, a colleague took a photo to show off the dewdrop vines and bougainvillea plants planted on the balcony of the attic.

Living in that scene, young people’s minds must also be equipped with optimism and joy to continue with their daily lives in this urban city.

As for those who have a material life that lacks many things, they only focus on making a living, but have little energy to think about taking care of trees. Agree that when the material life gets better, people easily focus on improving their spiritual life. But people like to live close to nature. Ever since ancient times, when leaving the village to go to the city, the houses in the streets of our grandparents have always been filled with green, not only by the fruit trees planted in the yard but also by the ornamental plants: The birth tree is bent like the dragon and the phoenix. On New Year’s Day, you must bring apricot trees, kumquat trees … into the living room to enjoy. There is no need to wait until the money is full, the love of nature is full, then the hobby and the appreciation for trees and nature appear!

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)
