Tracy Vu – the owner of a mini house shared that in Ho Chi Minh City, there are now many real estates like her house, with small size and micro-degree papers. However, most families mainly consider this as a place to stay, paying little attention to living space. Before repairing the house, she spent time consulting many places about architecture, layout… but all were not satisfied. Construction before repair. After that, she consulted the micro-house projects of some Asian countries such as Korea, Japan …, along with the advice of a professional design team, Tracy Vu decided to renovate the house. It has an area of ​​only 17 square meters. The total cost of design, construction and completion is about 290 million VND. She believes that home is a nest, nurture, build, weave beautiful dreams or enjoy the sweet and bitter taste of a small family. The first floor has a kitchen, dining table and toilet. Due to the limited area, the architect did not design the living room, but used the dining table as a place to receive guests. The laundry area is located next to the kitchen cabinets. Homeowners use a machine that combines washing and drying, saving living space, without having to worry about drying clothes. Although the house is quite small, she hopes it will be an ideal living space for a young couple. A neat, tidy, comfortable home but no less luxurious and trendy. Tracy Vu’s house project was completed 6 months ago with anticipation, joy and happiness. “Home – a place to welcome you at any time, whether happy or sad, success or failure. My husband and I and our children will hold hands together to enjoy all the joys, happiness, and overcome all the sorrows in life in this first house,” said Tracy Vu. The walls of the house are painted with imitation cement, the kitchen cabinets, the stairs use white tones and are accented with the blue color of the dining chairs. Right next to the door is a small shoe cabinet. The scientific arrangement, connecting the uses like this not only saves space, but also gives homeowners a modern and comfortable life. Stairs use butter tube lights to shine, creating coziness. The second floor is used as a bedroom. The area is narrow, but the architect still arranges to put 1 bed, 1 wardrobe and 1 long desk. “The house doesn’t have a red book, so it can’t be built with an additional floor,” Tracy Vu said. Glass partitions keep the house safe and at the same time make the house larger. The desk with the same color of the wall and the wooden shelf with the headboard is the highlight for the bedroom. Homeowners use a Domino double induction cooker – a kitchen for mini-apartments. The upper part of the kitchen cabinet holds dishes and cooking utensils, keeping the room clean. Cabinet material includes moisture-proof industrial wood combined with picomat resin. The family uses a washing machine and dryer, without drying, so the small handrail is simply designed with a fence that can be pushed out and pulled in. Concrete stairs, wood paneling with a short distance, help homeowners walk without fatigue.

Different textures and colors also result in different reflections and dispersions of light. For example, using a light color or a smooth shiny surface will reflect and diffuse light better than a dark or matte and rough surface. Therefore, if you choose to use the best one tone, even the furniture will help spread the light, making the room brighter. The wall part of the room usually has the most space. So the choice of color is very important. If you want the room to be naturally bright, you should choose to use wall paint in light tones. In addition, the ceiling and floor should also be light in color and in the same tone. Adjusting the overall color of the room does not have to be painted but can be used with tiles, wallpaper… Use the help of the mirror Mirrors are important items that help to make a room brighter and more airy. If a mirror with a cute shape that matches the style of the room is placed in the opposite direction of the light hitting the door or window, it will help diffuse the light and make the room look bright. than. In addition to mirrors, there are many other types of furniture to choose from to brighten up the room. Of course, it should be soft furniture or have a shiny surface such as metal, acrylic or light wood to create a cozy space. Arrange the furniture The arrangement of furniture in the room is also another simple matter that affects the lighting. Especially large pieces of furniture such as sofas, wardrobes or bookshelves, televisions… which, if placed in the middle of the room, will form an angle that makes light unable to reach, even blocking the light. The layout Large pieces of furniture close to the walls in the room are the best way for light to shine through. But it should be an angle that doesn’t block the window or channel through which the light passes. In addition to allowing adequate natural light to pass through, it also helps to make the room look open and spacious. Use curtains to filter light Opening the window during the day in the corners that get direct sunlight will make the room too hot, in this case, many people have chosen to keep the curtains closed to solve it. However, forget that installing light-filtering curtains or adding a layer of light-colored curtains can help. During the night, the curtain can be used normally. During the day, the light-filtering curtain looks like a light-colored fabric pulled through, as it’s specially designed for daytime, it adjusts the light coming in for eye comfort as well. Selection of LED bulbs Nowadays, energy-saving and full-light LED bulbs are quite popular. This is also a way to help the room always be brighter and more airy without the need to install the same transparent balls everywhere. Just in the corner for main activities such as sitting, applying makeup or working, you must choose a lamp that provides enough light. In other corners, lower wattage bulbs can be used to give the room enough light without consuming too much energy. Manage trees and obstacles When arranging, tidying up, don’t forget the potted plants both inside and outside the room. Because plants are a thing that, if not properly arranged, can block light and make a room look cluttered. Hanging or facade plants should be small plants that are easy to manage and care for, while larger plants can be tilted away from the window sill rather than directly covering them. In addition, there may be trees and obstacles outside that block all the light from the window, so please regularly take care and prune.

The curves of the seat are also a great idea: it makes the space seem larger, and at the same time makes the seat both comfortable and convenient. 7. Built in bathroom cabinet Built-in cabinets in the bathroom allow you to optimize the usable area while still having all the necessary items in a convenient and neat way.

The open space will be smaller but in return, you have enough space for all the furniture you have.

Victim Mary Reeser and the scene of the body burned to ash, leaving only a portion of the leg left. Photo: ATI On July 2, 1951, Pansy Carpenter, Mary Reeser’s landlord, stopped by the tenant’s apartment to send a telegram. When Pansy knocked on the door, no one answered. She put her hand on the doorknob and felt unusually hot, so she called the police. Police immediately went to the apartment at 1,200 Cherry Street (St. Petersburg town, Florida, USA) when he discovered that Marry Reeser, 67 years old, had died in a mysterious fire. Reports say the victim’s body was burned to ashes by a “white” flame – a color displaying temperatures between 1,300-1,500 degrees Celsius, equivalent to that in a crematorium. The victim’s body was almost completely ashes, leaving only one leg left, with the sandals intact, and no trace of carbon black. A part of Reeser’s spine and skull were also found at the scene. Although the apartment was still very warm and smoky when the police arrived, most of the furniture was still intact. Only plastic objects placed near the chair of Mrs. Reeser were melted and deformed. The carpet had a scorch mark. Most of the chair where the victim was sitting burned, but the wall behind that was not cracked or scorched. The rest of the room seemed unaffected by the fire that burned Mary Reeser. The sheets nearby are also not burnt, damaged, or even dirty. The scene of a mysterious fire in the apartment of Mary Reeser. Photo: ATI It takes about 1,600 degrees Celsius to heat for 3 or 4 hours to cremate a body. Therefore, the incident has made the authorities confused. Due to the mysterious circumstances of the case, it is suspected that Mrs. Reeser was a victim of spontaneous human combustion. It is when a person ignites their own flame from a chemical reaction inside their body, without any apparent ignition from the outside heat source. Although there have been documents about the human body igniting itself as early as 1663, not all scientists are convinced by it. Sheriff Cass Burgess was the detective investigating the Reeser case at the time. “This fire is too strange a thing,” he told reporters. Apartment diagram where the “ashen woman” case took place. The fire location is close to the kitchen, opposite the bed is still intact. Photo: thedeadhistory On 7/7/1951, Burgess and his team sent the evidence box from the victim’s apartment to the FBI laboratory (in Washington DC) for chemical analysis. Some of the evidence included ash, shoes, part of the carpet, mortar from the walls, pieces of fibers suspected from the victim’s nightgown, fragments of bone, and remains of the chair Reeser sat on when she died Fire…. The public is also very attentive to the case. Investigator Ed Silk said at least 15 amateur detectives called him to come up with their theories. The detective team released a statement saying it was a “accidental death from unexplained fire”. That doesn’t mean they are concluding the investigation, but just to help organize the burial of the victim, Burgess explained. Meanwhile, the FBI determined that Mary Reeser’s death was not caused by self-ignition. However, the incident is still a mystery. The FBI believes that Mary Reeser’s own body fat that fueled the fire that burned her could have come from smoking a cigarette and falling asleep. Ms. Reeser was set ablaze and “as soon as the body caught fire, almost complete destruction occurred from the victim’s own adipose tissue”. It is true that human adipose tissue is very flammable, and even easier in fat people. And Reeser is a huge woman, weighing 77kg. Investigators examine the crime scene. Photo: ATI The FBI’s explanation also has some basis, but it provides only partial explanation, as there are still some anomalies. For example, a stack of newspapers lined up next to the victim’s chair is still intact, not even scorched. Dr. Wilton M. Krogman, a professor of physical anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania, an experienced fire researcher, disagrees with the FBI’s conclusions. Mr. Krogman has written about all five deaths he investigated in the past. “I cannot imagine such a complete cremation without burning the apartment at all,” the professor wondered. Some other explanations are given one after another, such as lightning, explosives … However, that night there was no lightning at St. Petersburg. The test sample of the evidence from the scene also showed no signs of any gasoline or flammable substance. After an investigation went nowhere, the police finally concluded the cause was “a forgotten cigarette”. However, the question from here is, will someone die from being unable to wake up even while on fire? If Mrs. Reeser was awake, why couldn’t the housekeeper Pansy hear the screams? Finally, after exactly 70 years, the death of the “ashen woman” remains a mystery that challenges investigators.

“Over time, you often feel restless and agitated,” she said. This interferes with your ability to enjoy the apartment and prevents you from spending time at home. ” Here are the things to avoid when arranging and building a living space: 1. Room lacks natural light “Tight spaces, especially without windows, can create anxiety and trigger panic attacks,” says Cecille Ahrens, another therapist. People in confined spaces are more susceptible to stress, feeling overwhelmed, and difficulty concentrating, Ahrens added. If you live in a windowless space, therapists recommend going outdoors to improve your mood. “I always recommend that people take a little time each day, even if it’s only for a few minutes, in sunlight to reduce stress.” Tiara Christian – a person living in a 400m2 apartment, also used mirrors to amplify natural light, to help the living space not feel cramped. Tiara Christian’s indoor mirrors reflect natural light. 2. Lack of room dividers Although a cramped space can be stressful, if the room is too large you will have less privacy, according to therapist Rojas and therapist Weena Cullins. “The room’s ventilation can lead to constant distraction and loneliness,” says Rojas. “Many people need room and separation to make video calls to work or school,” she said. To improve this, Anju Abraham – an apartment tenant in Washington, USA, has used room dividers to create a private space when visitors arrive. If you do not want to build a partition, you should use a screen to separate it. Anju Abraham uses room dividers to create privacy. 3. Lack of storage space To maintain order in a small space, figuring out how to store items is not easy. Experts recommend investing in furniture with a variety of functions, such as seats, beds, and bottom storage. Another tip is to clean up your belongings regularly. The bed serves as a storage space. 4. Work and relax in the same space Therapists advise against working and relaxing in the same space. Therapist Ariel Sank said: “During the past year, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, many people working from home made it difficult for them to separate work from their personal lives. When working right next to your bed, it can be difficult to concentrate. When it comes time to rest, you are also not comfortable because you are distracted by computers, work books right next to you. “By creating a separate area, where work and relax, you not only create physical separation, but also mental separation,” Ariel Sank said.

Lately, young people tend to live in surprisingly small apartments in Tokyo, according to Nippon. Real estate developer Spilytus offers a flat called Ququri. Each unit has its own bathroom, toilet, and kitchenette with a living area the size of three tatami mats – the standard way to measure room size in Japan, which is less than 5 square meters. Even with the addition of a loft about 6.5 square meters, these apartments offer just over 11 square meters of living space. The young people of Phu Tang tend to live in very small apartments in Tokyo because of the cheap price and convenient location. Photo: Japan Times. Over the past two years, demand for Ququri has shown no sign of slowing down. Spilytus has around 1,200 mini-apartments in Ebisu, Nakameguro, Shinjuku, Shibuya and other trendy areas of Tokyo. The rooms are always fully occupied and the company is building many new buildings every year. Breaking tradition, this unit does not require a deposit, commission for the landlord or lease renewal fees. Along with free internet access, the micro apartments become attractive to young people. New lifestyle trends The idea of ​​Ququri arose from the experience of company president Nakama Keisuke when renting a house in Tokyo. All he wants is a modern, cheap and close to work apartment, no matter the size. Ququri units currently attract more male tenants than women, at a ratio of 6: 4. Most of them are in their 20s and 30s, with about 60% being employees, and students accounting for more than 30%. Only 10% of residents are over 40 years old, some renting mini apartments right next to their homes. Rents vary by location, ranging from 50,000 to 80,000 yen / month. Today, with all types of entertainment packed into smartphones, many tenants prefer convenient locations over floor space. Tokyo micro-tenants are mostly men. Photo: Japan Times, Soranews24. A resident who has lived in the Ququri apartment for four years said that having less furniture means not having to worry about small floor space. Although very satisfied, this person also complained about some restrictions such as occasional noise from neighbors and a lack of a balcony. Another longtime resident said that when he moved in three years ago, he was surprised by the cramped living area. But because he was so busy, the apartment was basically just for sleeping, it didn’t really matter to him. Spilytus installed fiberglass for sound and heat insulation, sandwiched between two-layer walls. They are also building concrete apartment buildings, alongside the wooden buildings that have been the norm so far. The recent movement of minimalism and frugality is also the reason behind some people’s decision to live in Ququri. Many residents do not even have a television, but use smartphones or laptops for entertainment. Someone did not use the refrigerator with the statement: “The convenience store is my refrigerator.” Another said she lost 15 kg after moving in, because saving time going to work allows more time for jogging each morning. Consistent with a minimalist lifestyle Aiko (not real name) has lived in the Ququri apartment for 2 years, since moving from the Kansai region to Tokyo. She chose this place because it completely suited her own requirements of having a separate attic, bathroom and toilet, no matter the floor area. However, Aiko’s first impression upon moving in was that the apartment was indeed very small. The girl working in the tourism industry frankly talks about the pros and cons of living in such cramped conditions. She does not buy much furniture and cleverly arranges it to create a relaxing living space. However, having a fondness for collecting classic sneakers, Aiko complains about preserving them. Despite the limited kitchen space, Aiko realizes that she can use the dining table for a variety of preparation stages. The girl’s daily life is concentrated at the dining table while reading, studying, as well as eating or preparing to cook. She only uses the attic to sleep. Aiko has no television and has no intention of buying. “I want to cherish this space and my time,” she said. People living in micro-apartments often do not buy many things. Photo: Soranews 24. Aiko has no regrets about living in a micro apartment. Once in a more spacious place than before, she said she only spent money buying a lot of things. Aiko also found that large houses often have dead spaces and are difficult to properly heat in winter. “Since I moved here, I have never thought that I would like to live in a larger place,” she said. “Living conditions perfectly suited to my needs,” added Aiko. I also like white walls and floors because it is easy to choose furniture. I am very pleased to live in a place with smart design ”. According to Aiko, with a little ingenuity, anyone can create a comfortable life in a super small apartment. They are suitable for those looking for a minimalist lifestyle, she said. The current Aiko’s room is very little and tidy because it doesn’t accumulate unnecessary things. The spread of minimalism and the tendency to detach from materialism have fueled the popularity of micro apartments. According to the Nippon, This trend will continue to develop.

The task for Toscano (45 years old) and colleagues is to clean this expensive apartment quietly to save face for the deceased owner. Share with New York Post “That man may have a reputation so they don’t want to make a fuss of death,” said the “special” cleaning staff in high-end buildings around the city. “What’s more, often the apartment management doesn’t want residents to panic when they see what’s inside the neighbors’ homes. Too bad you pay tons of money for a nice apartment and smell strange things from the next door, ”he added. 18 tons of household waste Recently, Toscano was hired to help a 90-year-old man handle the pile of books, papers, boxes, clothes and jewelry piled up inside the luxurious 3-bedroom apartment in the residential West Central Park. “Every corner is a mess. It takes 18 tons of trash in this expensive apartment, ”he recalls. The apartment was once filled with rubbish, pizza boxes and drug equipment before Toscano’s team arrived to move it for four days. Toscano says his company, which is a Queens-county branch of the Clutter Free Junk Removal Service and Cleanup Pros, handles such cases “once a week, sometimes two”. The most difficult part for this “special” cleaning team is that the building managers often ask them to “work discreetly” to avoid panicking the neighbors. That is equivalent to hiding the logo on the uniform, as well as keeping the information they throw away. “We have our own trash so people can’t see what’s being thrown away. We just need to try to speed up the schedule and get the trash out of the apartment quickly, ”Toscano said. However, that is almost impossible to do, as was the case 1.5 years ago in a South Central Park residential apartment building. That day, Toscano’s group had to demolish the floor of an apartment left behind by the mess of tenants – including countless stacks of papers several meters high and piles of bugs and bed bugs.

Toscano said the most expensive deal he has ever been in charge of is about $ 40,000 for a home in the state of New Jersey. Here, his team had to remove 16 tons of trash and repaint the entire house. More than work For Toscano, the interesting thing about this job is that he gets to “see the beauty of a luxury apartment” once he has dealt with the huge mess. His company also regularly receives calls from relatives to search for belongings. Therefore, in addition to discarding the furniture, they also carefully classify and store some of the belongings obtained from the apartment, in case someone wants to get it back. A New York resident who used to use the Toscano service said: “They are very focused on their work. The group of 6 of them entered the house, divided in charge of each room and cleaned according to the pre-assigned schedule ”. Toscano is often excited to see the beauty of an expensive apartment after the cleaning. Toscano said this job is more than cleaning because he himself likes to help people. In addition, he also often tells the landlord to leave during group work. “When they get back, they’re going to go crazy like ‘Wow, I can’t believe this place is home,'” he said. The hoarding disorder, which affects 2-6% of the American adult population, has no financial limits, according to the report New York Post. “Normally, when storing luxury goods, like buying 500 Prada handbags, people ‘convince themselves’ that it’s not hoarding but collecting,” said Dr. Dena Rabinowitz, director of the Institute of the Mind.
