The deteriorated condition of the house The renovation process is recorded by the design team The request of the owner for the architect team is to design a building with a comfortable living space full of sunshine and wind, while retaining part of the current state to optimize the cost as possible. After the renovation, the first impression is the facade with a combination of rustic ceiling tiles and white wind cotton tiles. The old wall panels combined with the new wall not only have the effect of dividing and separating blocks, but also create a harmonious contrast between the “old-new” language for the facade of the building. Level 4 house completely “makeover” after renovation, the façade stands out with the combination of white wind cotton brick wall and rough ceiling brick. The wind-cement brick facade has both the effect of blocking the hot sun and effective air conditioning inside and out Looking at the overall plan, 2 level 4 houses are located on the right, on the left is a row of hostels with 7 rooms, in the middle is the aisle and corridor. The architect used the trick of merging functional blocks on the ground, 2 level 4 houses with an area just enough to convert into a common living space including the living room outside, the kitchen – dining inside. A row of small 7-room motels converted into spaces for 3 bedrooms. The architect also used the technique of merging blocks on the vertical wall of the wall, the old wall panels kept with a lower height than the new design of the house will be built to make up for the shortfall. Along with the newly added wall panels, the architect team also demolished some old wall panels to unify the functional blocks. The team of architects decided to keep the bare bare walls from the current state of the work, in order to optimize the renovation cost for the owner. The combination of “old-new” walls brings many emotions to family members. The west sun can’t shine directly into the house thanks to the wind cotton brick wall, and at the same time creates very beautiful sun shades Spacious lobby, connecting the public and private spaces of the building The corridor area spends a part of the area to plant bonsai under the skylight and design the tea table The open-air well brings fresh air and sunlight into the house The main living room of the house still uses the old table and chairs. This space is filled with light thanks to the glass doors in the main door and windows Construction site drawing Drawing of elevation and section of the building Level 4 house in Soc Son is a reasonable renovation model, both aesthetic and functional, but not too expensive in terms of costs when the architect team cleverly takes advantage of old walls and furniture. The “revival” of the house has stuck with the family for many years, bringing different levels of emotions to family members.

A few years ago, Claudia’s fourth-level house in a small Brazilian town was so dilapidated that many people mistook it for an abandoned house that could collapse at any time. So this female host decided to renovate the house in the Mediterranean style. Claudia cleaned the house thoroughly, repainting all the walls with white paint while the doors were painted in dark blue and blue for accents. This is a 4-level house with 1 floor, simple and quite small design, so homeowners use tiles for roofing, most of the objects in the house are hung on the wall to save space. The kitchen and living room are connected to each other, the kitchen cabinets are placed close to the wall, next to the window so that the heat of the kitchen when cooking will fly out, not suffocating the house by the smell of food. The bedroom has large windows painted in dark blue, and the wardrobe and bed are all against the wall so that everything looks as spacious and uncluttered as possible. In the house, there is a skylight that directs to the cactus area, the two sides of the land are 2 bedroom windows, every morning or evening the homeowner can open these two doors for more light, ventilation and fullness in the room. vitality. The furniture in the house is made of wood, creating a cozy feeling for the house. The image after the house was renovated once made many people “shocked” because it was so beautiful and they thought that people could completely apply it to many degraded level 4 houses or too simple in other designs. The back garden is surrounded by white walls, the owner does not plant grass, but spreads gravel and uses wood and firewood to decorate a wooden table to sit here. Up to now, although the house has been renovated for many years, it is still being shared by many internet users and taken as a model when talking about the renovation of level 4 houses.

The apartments here all have the same characteristics as old design, unreasonable use, lack of light… 5 years ago, Dieu Linh and her husband were lucky to buy an apartment at a cheap price. The first day I went to see the house, as soon as I walked in, I decided to buy it right away. Because this place is close to the office where she works, it has a cool space, different from the collective apartments she has come to see. Linh broke through the rooms, made large glass doors, and tiled Japanese-style wooden floors. The place to read books, drink tea is quite chill. At this time, in her mind, the renovation and redesign of the corners of the apartment appeared in her mind. At the time of home repair, Linh stayed at home while repairing the house while taking care of her children. Because she studied design, she had to directly design and supervise to feel secure. When she received the house, she smashed all the inner walls, changed the function of the room, broke the tiger’s cage, changed the bedroom into a large light-filled kitchen. The old bedroom was converted into a sunlit kitchen. As a result, she has three rooms flooded with light. In which, a room overlooking the garden of the neighbor on the first floor has a tigon set that touches the green eye. Two rooms with a view to the back yard of the office are quite quiet, with a row of fragrant jade orchids. She confided, the more she lived, the more she loved this house. Right in the middle of the noisy street, but entering the house is like a different world, quiet and relaxed. The terrace overlooking the balcony is planted with trees and flowers. Currently, despite many regrets, she has sold that apartment and moved to a luxury apartment complex on the outskirts of the city. Sharing about the reason for deciding to leave her favorite place, she said: “My first son has grown up, he needs a bigger space to develop physically and learn. Therefore, I bought an apartment in a new urban area, which has a large campus, landscape, swimming pool and many facilities… The old apartment has been broken up but is always a good memory for me and my family.” Small yard planted with green trees. Linh’s favorite corner, while working, reading books or chatting with her husband and children. The dining area, a brown wooden table with 4 black painted iron chairs make a difference for the apartment. Doors, doors to the room are installed with sliding doors, helping to save space. For Linh, home is not only a place to return to, but also a peaceful space for family members. The apartment is full of memories. Although she has moved, Linh still gives the apartment a lot of nostalgia. The bathroom combines cleaning, laundry and neatly arranged.

With a construction cost of 800 million VND, many people think that the owner has spent a waste of money or was overpriced by the contractor. The outside looks simple, simple and nothing special. However, if you step inside, “take a look at the market” in every corner, everyone will surely praise. The owner of this project is Mr. Tran Duc Cong, a photographer. Mr. Cong said that the family initially only planned to renovate the level 4 house, but after the architect came to survey, the structure was degraded and could not be renovated. In the end, he chose the new construction option. The total area of ​​​​the house is 140m2 with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, garden, kitchen. Side view of the house. The house is divided into 2 areas. The front has 1 floor, which is a living room, kitchen, toilet and lawned courtyard. The rear part has 2 floors, is a bedroom, a bathroom. On the 2nd floor, there is a space connecting 2 parts, designed by the architect to be a place to drink tea and grow bonsai. The house has enough room for a family of 3 generations to live. Therefore, the common element is focused, but the private space is separate, ensuring quiet. The porch on the left is spacious, with a path leading up to the 2nd floor stairs. This staircase is in an arc shape, embracing the avocado tree. A special feature is the stairs built with bricks and plastered with cement, matching the layout of the house. The entire roof is covered with red tile, heat resistant. Around the house, the architect arranged a dark aluminum and glass door system, opening the door to catch the wind in the afternoon. Living room, kitchen on the same floor. The interior uses simple wooden furniture. Closed TV shelf integrated into a bookshelf. Large glass doors catch the wind, the porch is tiled, helping to block the sun. Every corner of the house is optimized for function. From here you can see the gate, the living room. Rustic garden. The staircase is the perfect highlight for the building. The porch is also installed two swings to cool off. Swing made of wood and braided rope. The sitting net stretched from the house to the side of the pole. Mr. Cong said that this net is quite strong and can withstand large loads. The staircase seen from above is quite beautiful, creating a unique feature. The space connecting the two areas is turned into a place to drink tea and plant trees. The house from above is quite striking. The sun shines on the 2nd floor terrace. Mr. Cong confided that he was very enthusiastic about the project. This design has a bit of the direction of the houses in the old quarter of Hanoi. The space helps the owner to relax, gather with his family and also give him inspiration for creative photography.

This is where a family of 3 generations lives. Mai Tu Anh shared, the condition of the house before repair was very shabby, sloppy, dark and full of rats and cockroaches. Not to mention smelly and unhygienic sewers. Tu Anh runs an online business but is an interior enthusiast, always dreaming of living in a comfortable, professionally designed house. Many times, she dreamed of buying a new house or rebuilding it, to make it a reality. However, the economy does not allow it, the current house has many advantages: Near the school of 2 children, near the grandmother’s house, only fifteen minutes to the old town. In the end, the couple decided to renovate their damp, run-down townhouse. The old kitchen smelled of musty, musty moss. Some people advised her to consider it, because anyone with enough money to do such a renovation. However, the results after completion surprised everyone. The messy townhouse suddenly “transformed” into a luxurious home thanks to the architect’s hand. “After every hour of stressful work, looking at the clean and airy kitchen, eating a real home-cooked meal together, I feel poor but happy,” Tu Anh confided. The new kitchen uses pastel blue and pink tones. At the same time, there are additional windows to help circulate air and eliminate odors. Dining place with eye-catching colors, tiled floor with vintage motifs. The overall kitchen is modern and luxurious. Tu Anh added that her house has undergone 3 home repairs so far. For the first time, 2 years ago, she and her husband renovated the house on a small scale, but the cost was too expensive, the cramped and messy situation continued. Things are still not as I expected. The second time a year ago, she remodeled the small bedroom. This time, she hired a professional design agency and felt very satisfied. The bright and clean new kitchen corner is an inspiration to help Ms. Tu Anh cook a family meal. The bowl rack can be moved up and down, convenient for arranging dishes. For the third time, at the beginning of 2021, she rented the unit that used to repair the small bedroom to design the master bedroom and kitchen. “The third time I repaired, I signed up for the industrial cleaning package. When finished, the house is clean, just need to move in, don’t have to clean up, “said Tu Anh. Because the two children still haven’t slept separately, after the renovation, the whole family still has plenty of space to live as well as a place to play for the children. The spacious bed is free to roll and especially the owner tries to minimize the furniture to avoid dust. The total cost of design and construction for the master bedroom and kitchen is more than 300 million, including electronics. “You hire a designer, they will do from drawing, construction, interior installation, cleaning… to decorations, curtains,” Tu Anh said. Over 7 years under the same roof, Ms. Tu Anh and her husband feel very satisfied with their achievements. The entire bedroom is a wedding dress more than 7 years ago. At that time, Tu Anh did not calculate that when having children, many things would arise. Bed 1m8 is cramped, not enough room for 4 people, must put an extra bed for children. The floor is rotted due to termites, so it should be carpeted. The new bedroom is scientifically arranged to make the furniture more neat. The extra bed of the big baby is also minimalist to fit under the bed. The balcony is removed, making it a reading corner, a storage cabinet. The makeover is considered by many to be “worth the money”. The wardrobe plays bare, for Ms. Tu Anh contains the “world” of fashion with countless accessories. Small bedroom cum office and study room. Because this bedroom is small, the architect closes a monolithic bed system. Tu Anh’s mother-in-law still wants to keep all the living room furniture, so she only paints it, closes the plaster ceiling and installs more led lights. At the entrance, there is a closet for shoes, a very convenient place to wear shoes. New replacement iron gate, suitable for the house aesthetic.

“I wanted to convert the plane into an RV (Recreational Vehicle) since I was 12 years old, after watching a TV show. Until I served in the Air Force, I always thought one day. will make it happen.” It took Gino about a year to build his dream mobile home by himself. Almost every day, he slept very little because he was excited, thinking about what to do the next day. Gino manually converted the plane into a mobile home. Parts from old aircraft are used by Gino and fitted into the car such as light switches, intercoms to decorative details. The engine part was taken from an old truck. In addition to the main parts, the bathroom area, the kitchen with a microwave oven is also fully installed by Gino and tries to keep the space and layout of the plane. He also turned what used to be the cabin crew area into his youngest son’s aviation-themed bedroom. Despite its unique shape, Gino’s 27-square-foot RV is still roadworthy and legally licensed in all 50 states. The RV is fully equipped and meets the traveling conditions. Since completing renovations in the summer of 2020, Gino has taken his family on many trips across the United States. When traveling on empty and wide roads, he feels like he is actually flying an airplane. “Children are often surprised and curious about the shape of the car, many veterans are also interested and start a conversation with me. It’s very happy to see that people like my work.”

Old apartment building at 9 Cao Ba Nha, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City. Sharing the same view, an official from a central district in Ho Chi Minh City shared with an Economic & Urban reporter that, in fact, there are a number of real estate businesses that are very interested and want to participate in investment in the form of: socialize. Enterprises have traveled many times, studied very carefully, but eventually withdrew because of the biggest problem related to the population quota. In the central districts of Ho Chi Minh City today, it is very difficult to adjust the population target for a certain area. In order to attract investors, it is necessary to increase the population target by 2.5-3 times the existing one. That means the number of apartments increases by 2.5 – 3 times before they can do it. 1/3 of the apartments to be re-arranged for households in the old apartment, 1/3 sold to return the investment capital and the rest is the profit of the enterprise.

Open the knot
In fact, the above problems were proposed by the People’s Committee of Ho Chi Minh City to the Prime Minister during the working session on May 13, 2021.

Focusing on completing unfinished projects, giving priority to increasing planning criteria such as population, land use coefficient, construction density… for renovation and new construction projects to replace old apartment buildings. before 1975.
With the knots removed, people in Ho Chi Minh City expect that the renovation of old apartments will be accelerated in the near future. “Our practical experience, it is extremely difficult to get 100% of the people living in the old apartment building to agree, especially those who have the right to own the ground floor area that can be used as a commercial space… I I think, if you want to successfully implement the renovation of old apartments in the form of old dams and build new ones, only 70-80% of households will agree.

Now there is a beautiful road, so trucks go to the edge of the forest to buy acacia at a high price. People are very excited. However, on some turns from provincial road 330 to residential areas because the roadway is higher than the houses, the continued deployment of road railings to ensure traffic safety for people is important. absolutely necessary. It can be affirmed that, basically, when the provincial road 330 is repaired and upgraded, it has helped people travel more conveniently and safely.

– Where? – Around Bach Dang wharf park in District 1, people are very interested in… – Move, cut down many trees to improve the park, right Tu? – That’s it! People are worried that they will lose the already scarce green space in the heart of the city. – A very legitimate concern! – I’m not a resident nearby, but I’m sorry. Because it is home to hundreds of old, shady trees, many locals and tourists often go there to stroll, play and exercise. – You do not have to advertise, Mr. Ba has also taken the whole family there many times to walk and relax. – So… – So what? – For many people, it is not only a green space but also a… – Commemorative sky! – Baba is so right! So they are very regretful and… – Wish the city had another more suitable option while still retaining the green area? – Exactly! – So according to you, in order to retain the green area, what kind of park renovation must be done? – Harmony between old and new! – What do you mean? – As a resident has suggested, the park should be designed based on the location of available trees, not cut down or relocated. It’s kind of “measure and make shoes”. It is taking the measurement of the foot to make shoes to fit, not making shoes and then cutting feet to fit. – It can be any type of genus, as long as the old trees are not cut down or removed. – Actually, it’s not a new invention that many other places have made. Especially in… – Where, Mr. Ba? – In high-class resorts, people respect and preserve each stone and tree stump available in nature and when designing houses and roads, choose accordingly. Therefore, creating harmony with nature and being very different, no other place is the same! – Maybe the city should move in that direction and… just give it a try!

We have the opportunity to introduce to visitors the food and drinks of local products prepared by ourselves, the ingredients are also grown and cared for by the people themselves. Con Ho was very sad before doing tourism, because the young generation all went to big cities to study and live, most of them were old people on Con.

West. The building was inaugurated at Christmas 1887.

After surveying the current situation, the AD9 Architects team and the owner wanted to take advantage of the old structural framework and start design work based on what was still in use of the house. Before the repair, the two-storey tube house was degraded, the interior space was hot, lack of light, designed in the old style. The architect has planned to renovate the whole house, bringing a comfortable and beautiful living space to the owner. The architect has retained the entire structure of the house, designed the floor space, changed the height of the mezzanine, bringing a significant change in interior design and façade in a modern style, in line with the trend. . To fully address the functional needs, the AD9 Architects team built more second floor space and combined terrace. The current status of the old mezzanine floor is low, the new design of the architect creates a difference in the floor cos (elevation), so it is necessary to change the height of the mezzanine. The architects have come up with a plan to change the color in accordance with the modern trend, including two colors of white and gray. In addition, there is a small garden design in many corners and facades to create a green area for the house, bringing a pleasant feeling, making the house more prominent in the neighborhood. The furniture such as tables, cabinets, shelves are selected to be simply arranged to meet the essential needs of the family. The door opens to the green space to access the facade. The house is wide enough for the AD9 Architects team to organize the traffic volume along the transitional space axis. Here, the space of the skylight is gradually expanded vertically to get the most reasonable convection system for dynamic and static spaces. Sufficient natural light from the hallway, the transition into the bedrooms. From the outside in, the natural elements create the necessary balance, and the activities inside the house also become better and healthier. The architect also designed the atrium to take advantage of natural light for the house. The stairs have iron material and are also painted white to match the color of the walls. This atrium takes in natural light very well, combined with green trees on many floors to make the house space airy and comfortable. Decorative green plants are also cleverly used in the corners of the room, bringing nature into the space of the house, bringing many benefits to the health of the family. A private worship space is located on the top floor. Other spaces, including the bedroom, were completely replaced with wooden floors and walls painted with the dominant white color.

Trees help to regulate the indoor air. The house of Ms. Nguyen Thuy Trang (SN 1983 – Ho Chi Minh City) is located in the heart of District 5. From the noisy street, full of smoke and dust, entering here, you will be immersed in the open space, covered with green by trees mortar. With a house width of 8m, a length of 10m and a small yard, she takes advantage of all the sunlight and sunlight to grow fruit trees and ornamental plants to solve the problem of air pollution. Viewing angle from above. Thuy Trang bought the house 4 years ago. Due to the good structure of the house, she did not build a new building, but only renovated the rooms, increasing the functions and utilities. The garden was also researched by her, made from that time. The whole renovation of Thuy Trang is assigned to a design and construction unit. The project consists of 2 blocks linked together by a system of trees and light. Ms. Trang arranged the planting areas according to the characteristics of each type. Achievement after 4 years, the house is shady green trees. The green tree system not only creates a fancy beauty for the building, but also helps to condition the air, bringing a cool feeling to the occupants. Interior design is simple but still cozy and elegant. The pathways in the house are also filled with trees. Tree truss vertical on the wall. These are all trees suitable for tropical weather. All floors are arranged with big glass doors to catch the sun. The balconies and corridors of the homeowner take advantage of planting fruit trees. In addition, she added a portable awning. When there is heavy rain or heavy sun, she will pull the eaves to cover the trees. The house was completed in 2017, so far it is still like new and is used very carefully and cared by the owner. “I am a house addict, any corner must take care of me meticulously, clean it up”, she revealed. She mainly grows plants in pots, pots, but the fruit is always full of branches. The woman born in 1983 asserted that she did not have to embrace the dense planting of trees and green vegetables because she did not like the overcrowded house. Moreover, she wants to set aside space for the whole family to gather and open outdoor meals. She divided the tree into each section for convenient care. Fruit trees are preferred in sunny locations. The tree has tropical style (tropical), you can take care of it by spraying it periodically to avoid pests. Ornamental plants are planted in a cool, no-sun area and keep the humidity of at least 45-70%. With vines, most of Thuy Trang grow beef stem Philodondren (indoor plants), so it is imperative to live in a humid environment for air roots to develop. The garden has a variety of vegetation. In the past, she planted many flowers, especially roses. However, growing flowers is forced to spray many drugs to stimulate and spray regularly. In addition, the drug must be constantly changed because of hemorrhoids and drug hoppers. Therefore, she switched to planting trees. Fruit trees in the garden are quite plentiful including: Mango, pomelo, star fruit, whip, guava, orange, toad, sapoche, pomegranate … The entrance door has a large glass frame. Harvest the fruit. Reading corner, relax in the afternoon of the whole family. When commencing the renovation, she thinks that this is not only a place to live but also an environment worth living, for the children’s physical and thinking development. The owner grows a variety of fruit trees in the North. Trees help compensate for the freshness and alleviate the heat, the cramped and the hustle and bustle pace of the bustling city. The interior uses subtle dark tones on a white painted wall background. The rooms are linked together by open space.

Mr. Tien Trung. Due to the fact that that discipline is computational and less than design, he switched to studying business administration and doing financial analysis after graduating from school. Currently, he pursues a business and develops a youtube channel on food and furniture. He still reads books and articles, participates in architecture forums and applies to his home. Although renting a house to live alone, Tien Trung takes care very meticulously, especially the kitchen – where many of his activities take place during the day. Nordic style is applied thoroughly in the 18m2 wide kitchen. He designed and renovated a beautiful small kitchen with an area of ​​only 18m2. According to Tien Trung, the German side usually only cooks with an area of ​​5 – 10m2, but he is lucky to rent an apartment with an 18m2 kitchen. Therefore, he is more and more creative, turning this place into an integrated space including: working room, relaxing, cooking, laundry. The kitchen is both a place to work, wash and relax. “In Germany, it is very expensive to hire a designer or repair a home, a kitchen…. I renovate myself to save costs ”, Mr. Trung shared. Kitchen cabinets purchased and installed by former tenants. When he arrived, the person did not want to take it away, so he sold the kitchen cabinets and kitchen equipment. Tien Trung found that the cabinet was still solid, so he did not change the cabinet or the kitchen counter but bought paper stickers. The whole time to buy, renovate, and clean up takes about 1 week. The kitchen after finishing has a minimalist style. Old cabinet color beige changed to gray. The kitchen counter is brown to white. Spices, food and cooking utensils are stowed away in the drawers, convenient for storage and use. He said, the concept of this kitchen design came from a trip in Copenhagen (Denmark). Here, he saw the architecture of the house and the rows of shops, although with little furniture, but still delicate and luxurious. So Tien Trung brought this style to his kitchen. The bottles are arranged in open cabinets. Utilized windows as a place to decorate. Single sink and built-in dishwasher. Tien Trung kitchen corner often shoots cooking clips.

One of the steps to graft the branches to renovate citrus varieties. Photo: H.Tien. Steps taken before transplanting – On the garden of sour grapefruit varieties or low quality indigenous grapefruit varieties (real grapefruit): Choose plants that are 3-7 years old, grow well, be free of pests and diseases, especially have no stem borers, no germs. leaf rot yellow leaf disease, greening leaf yellowing (Greening) and Tristera’s disease. Then, cut down the entire canopy to the stem or branch with a diameter of ≥ 2cm, leaving only the ends for eye grafting in the position of the stem with the color of the cake, the same size as the top of the chopsticks. The number of branches left for grafting should be arranged evenly 0.5 m on the tree canopy as a mesh. Grafting season can be carried out all year round. It is best to graft in 2-3 months and 9-10 months. Note, stop watering and fertilizing on real plants 15-17 days before grafting; do not extract and graft trees into the rain. – On the mother Ruby grapefruit tree, choose a tree that grows balanced and free from pests and diseases as above. It is advisable to choose mother plants grown in a net house to prevent insects, to avoid completely dangerous diseases such as Greening and Tristera. Then, select branches under 1 year old, have rounded stems and are tilted from horizontal canopy upwards, then remove all leaves, leaf stalks attached and remove the tip at the position of the stem color of the cake. Continue to cut the branches to divide the seedling into branches containing 4-5 leaf axils, 7-10 cm long and have a flat color. Technique of grafting the branches (also called grafting, grafting wedge) – At the base of the seedling segment, use a specialized knife to cut 2 opposite beveled slices, 2-2.5 cm long to remove 2 stem parts at the base of the seedling and open a wedge-shaped composite end. At the predetermined graft head on the phylogenetic tree, split a line 2.5 cm deep at 1/3 of the tip diameter to open a grafting mouth, insert the wedge-shaped graft head into the grafted mouth that just opened above. Ruby grapefruit has been successfully grown in our country. Photo: TL. Then, stretching and twisting the nylon strip, twisting the rope, then wrap 5-6 rounds tightly around the graft. Finally, pull the grafted plastic strip flat, completely covering the seedlings and grafting spots, so that rain cannot penetrate the grafting marks and keep the seedlings from dehydrating. After about 10-15 days (depending on the season), the grafted eye will sprout. Must eradicate in time the sour grapefruit sprouts growing outside the grafted eye. Note choosing self-destructing polypropylene tape. – In addition to improving the seed by grafting wedge into the branches mentioned above, it is also possible to graft wedge into the cross section of the branches of much larger size, or graft windows, small wooden eyes along the trunks. tree, trunk. However, these grafting methods have certain limitations, compared to the method we introduced in the previous section, such as, small eye grafting with wood, only taking the seed eyes open, the tree will grow long. , time for exploiting business results is slower … Take care of real plants after grafting Spraying to draw amulets when the eyes are like sprouting is 0.5-1.0 cm long. Except for red spiders, soft aphids, leaf hoppers and plant diseases, during the period when eyes are like spreading branches and canopy. Fertilizer for 1 root: 0.2-0.3 kg NPK 13-13-13 + TE, fertilize periodically once a month. Foliar fertilizer sprayed evenly 7 days / times. Decomposed chicken manure 20-30 kg + 2-3 kg of microbiological organic fertilizer, fertilizing when the grafted eye has reached about 15 cm long branches. After 1-2 years grafting and improving, Ruby grapefruit trees have been exploited for business. From this stage on, the steps to take care and control pests and diseases are similar to other current pomelo seedlings. Ruby grapefruit is one of the elite citrus varieties of Thailand, which has been imported into our country. The variety has the advantages of strong growth and development, beautiful fruit shape, good resistance to pests and diseases, red fruit, thick and thick pods, fragrant sweetness, no seeds … Grapefruit is equivalent to or slightly better than that of our country’s green skin grapefruit. , depending on farming techniques and ecological conditions. Ruby grapefruit tree is easy to distinguish from other grapefruit varieties thanks to the small leaves and branches, smooth hair.

The talented Hungarian architect Tamás Bene has designed a lovely boat house for a young couple from Budapest. The boat house is originally a local fishing boat, anchored at Lake Tisza – an artificial reservoir located in a 7,000-hectare nature reserve, home to wildlife including more than 100 species of birds together. The ship is made of two main materials, aluminum and treated wood. When going into practice, the designer develops the idea based on the needs and wants of the couple. And the most important thing is to design boats in harmony with nature and in harmony with the surrounding environment. To get as close to nature as possible, the boat has a large panoramic window, sliding doors that create a seamless connection to the starboard deck. The interior uses red wood and heat-resistant wood, including a kitchen, dining room with two benches and a table. At night, the table can be lowered by chair to form a unique, space-saving and multi-purpose bed. Each object placed on the boat has its own implications, not redundant by small, narrow space. The boat house also has two roof-mounted solar panels that power electrical appliances, including front and rear headlights, lights, and a small refrigerator. “Drinking water is taken from a 20 liter bottle and can be delivered to the tap with a foot operated pump, so no electricity is needed,” explained the architect. The boat itself is powered by a combustion engine with a capacity of 9.9 horsepower, allowing the operator to navigate around the shallow, winding canals of Lake Tisza./.

On June 13, 2016, the Provincial People’s Committee issued Official Letter No. 894 / UBND-TNMT on the improvement of agricultural land that has been assigned to households and individuals. Accordingly, the Provincial People’s Committee authorizes the People’s Committees of districts, towns and cities to grant permits to renovate agricultural land which has been assigned to households and individuals, in combination with full recovery of leveling land. According to incomplete reported data, the implementation of Official Letter No. 894 / UBND-TNMT of the Provincial People’s Committee and Official Letter No. 702 / STNMT-KS, dated April 20, 2017, Official Letter No. 752 / STNMT-KS, dated 26 -4-2017 of the Department of Natural Resources and Environment (TN-MT) on the guidance of licensing procedures for the improvement of agricultural land assigned to households and individuals to combine land reclamation, to date, People’s Committees of districts, towns and cities have granted permits for about 200 cases. According to the general assessment of districts, towns, cities and households and individuals licensed to renovate agricultural land, this is a very right policy and popular with people when many problems have been solved. and contribute to promoting local socio-economic development. Therefore, the majority of households and individuals licensed to renovate agricultural land have coordinated with contracting units to perform the ground improvement combined with fully reclamation of leveling land in accordance with the plan, exploiting the right location and licensed area. After being licensed and conducting land improvement, many individual households have abandoned the improved land, did not implement the land recovery plan, planted trees for environmental restoration … according to regulations. Along with that, the fulfillment of financial obligations towards the State, such as: fees for granting mineral mining rights, environmental protection fees, royalties … are fully implemented by households in accordance with regulations. . Land reclamation is carried out from the actual needs of land users to facilitate production. The process of licensing for ground improvement in combination with salvaging land for reclamation has made good use of backfill resources to meet the national goal of building a new countryside (NTM), building infrastructure. floors, land fund creation and production development projects. This issue not only makes an important contribution to socio-economic development but also increases revenue for the local budget; At the same time, to limit the illegal exploitation of land and leveling … * There have been variable generals in implementation In addition to the above positive results, the reflection of voters to the press agencies and the inspection and examination of the authorities shows that: many of the following households and individuals When licensed by the competent authorities (usually these fully renovated land mines are only licensed for a period of 12 months-PV), this license has turned into a “talisman” called “land mine”. exploiting, and then actively exploiting minerals. In many cases, the exploitation exceeds the height, depth and reserves; There are even a few cases of “forgetting” the back ground work or in other words, after the mineral recovery did not comply with the original commitment dossier when applying for a license or having done it, it was just as follows. coping mode. Because the main purpose of the households, this individual is to take advantage of the policy to apply for permits and create a land improvement “cover” to sell land for profit. It is worth mentioning that, taking advantage of this policy, many households are licensed to reclaim land with full use of leveling land with the volume of hundreds of thousands of m3 / year. In particular, there is a situation that some households have taken advantage of exploiting the neighboring land areas even though they have not been licensed to gain illicit profits. The areas assessed as “hot” in the exploitation of landfill are the districts: Quang Trach, Bo Trach, Quang Ninh and Le Thuy. After that, the violations were detected by the People’s Committees of districts, towns, cities and functional agencies and strictly dealt with administrative violations. Specifically, many cases were fined for administrative violations with a fine of 45 million VND, forced to pay back the illicit profits from illegal land exploitation more than 100 million VND / case of violation; At the same time, the license granted. However, these violations have caused pollution, environmental degradation and changed land use purposes, significantly affecting the flora, leaving negative public opinion among the people. * It is necessary to seriously and effectively implement the direction of the Provincial People’s Committee Immediately detecting the above situation, in recent years, the provincial People’s Committee has issued many documents directing to strengthen the state management in exploiting land and leveling in the province. Mr. Phan Xuan Tuan, Head of the Department of Minerals (Department of Natural Resources and Environment), said that, in the face of this fact, to follow the instructions of the Provincial People’s Committee and to manage well the cases of licensing for ground improvement with full recovery of leveling land. Department of Natural Resources and Environment has also issued many documents to direct to districts, towns and cities. Documents of the Department suggest localities to strengthen and improve the quality of inspection, supervision and appraisal of documents to ensure that the land improvement does not cause major terrain distortions, environmental pollution and waste. resource fees for projects that allow ground improvement in combination with full recovery of land and leveling; strengthen inspection and supervision and take effective measures to promptly prevent and strictly handle violations. Special note, the renovation does not affect the safety of power lines, lakes, irrigation dams and other construction works. One point of land improvement with land salvage shows signs of environmental degradation and changes in land use purposes, significantly affecting the flora … The Department requires districts, cities, towns and communes to closely monitor the reserves allowed to be exploited, to improve and restore the environment and plant trees after harvesting, to avoid taking advantage of ground improvement to illegal mineral exploitation. In case of detecting a violation, it shall be strictly handled according to law provisions. Along with that, it is required that households and individuals that have been licensed to renovate agricultural land combined with fully reclaiming land and leveling will soon complete the project in accordance with the approved plan. In front of the direction of the Provincial People’s Committee and the Department of Natural Resources and Environment, the leaders of the People’s Committees of Quang Trach, Bo Trach, Quang Ninh, Le Thuy districts … said that they continued to direct the specialized departments and the People’s Committees of communes to strengthen the state management of minerals with the inspection and supervision of the implementation of plans on ground improvement with full recovery of land and leveling by households and individuals in accordance with regulations; promptly detect and strictly handle violations; request households to exploit too deeply to allow leveling, planting trees to restore the environment in the exploited area; calculating retrospective collection of fees for granting mineral mining rights and related fees for households who illegally exploit land. For cases of serious violations, in addition to handling violations according to the provisions of law, a decision to revoke the granted license will also be issued. In addition, the People’s Committee should strengthen the propaganda, dissemination and education of the law on minerals; mobilize people not to illegally exploit, purchase, store and transport minerals; detecting and denouncing organizations and individuals that illegally exploit minerals … Districts, towns, cities, communes, wards, functional units need to seriously implement and have effective solutions to well implement the instructions of the Provincial People’s Committee …

KG house is the renovated house of a young couple, located in Rach Gia City, Kien Giang Province. When approaching the renovations, architect THIA architecture said: “We found that the house lacked lighting and ventilation, and the layout of functions in the house did not take advantage of the natural elements. We boldly cut the house into two zones with functions (two rectangular boxes), connecting the two zones by “bridge” and large floor clearance. ” According to KTS, the most difficult problem of a renovation project is when the frame structure of the house is fixed. However, if the work is handled skillfully, it will create a completely different beauty from the old house. The renovated KG house has a more modern and airy beauty. The architect said that the wooden bar system, the green trees, the pine floors with the light roof help the space of the house to have better light. The house is divided into two functional areas. The first floor is mainly arranged with living room, kitchen and bedroom. The living room, kitchen and dining room spaces all overlook the courtyard. The architect leaves a front garden and the porch can be a place to welcome and relax. The interconnected spaces are not covered with the accentuation of wooden ceilings creating a cozy and close proximity. The bedroom overlooking the courtyard will help the elderly feel relaxed and quiet. The porch and the front garden are the home to welcome and relax the homeowner. The ceiling has a wooden bar form. The living room is connected with the dining room and the kitchen. From the interior to the design are simple but fully equipped. The second floor is where the master bedroom and the child’s bedroom are located. The bedrooms are linked together by a “bridge”, where sunshine, wind, and trees appear. From the bedrooms one can enjoy nature. The architect also arranged a small shrine room with wooden bar and light through. About the outside appearance, the architects will keep it suitable for the architecture of the whole area. The architect also adds the sunshade system and the rain falls directly into the interior of the house. Stairs lead to the second floor, underneath planting flowers and trees. Floor clearance brings light to the house. The second floor has master bedrooms and children’s bedrooms. The bedrooms are linked together by a “bridge”. Each bedroom space is oriented towards the floor space and green space. The bedroom is full of wind through the airy window. Many barricades to highlight the second floor. A small shrine room with an outstanding design is a wooden bar, this location has a lot of light through.

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.
