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.

On summer days, hot weather causes a lot of fatigue for people. Vietnam is a tropical country, so in the summer the climate is very hot. These days, the temperature can be up to 38 degrees C. So many people want to renovate their house or if they are planning to build a new house, they will choose a good heat-resistant material. To prevent heat and cool the house, experts believe that the design should be chosen and the right building material is chosen. According to architect Khuong Van Muoi, former Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City Association of Architects, normally the west and southwest direction are hot, so houses with this direction should build houses with two-layer materials, typically double-layer glass, thick walls, There must be a cover for cooling. In addition, people can install a mist spraying system to reduce the heat on summer days. “Heat-resistant materials for ceilings are made of gypsum board, aluminum foil, and foam… These are familiar materials that people prefer to line their roofs, reducing the heat. With heat-resistant glass must use double-layer glass. For corrugated iron roofs, in my opinion, I should use the solution to create space for the wind to drain into the roof and ceiling ”- said architect Khuong Van Muoi. In addition to choosing the right materials, to reduce heat, people can plant more vines and trees around the house. During use, the door should be regularly opened to allow the air flow to circulate indoors, which will blow the heat out. Mr. Tran Manh Dat, Deputy General Director of a company operating in the field of interior design, manufacture and construction, shared that there are many materials available on the market today that have anti-heat effects for us to choose from. . Typically, such as cold sheet, insulation panels, these materials are now widely sold, easy to buy and reasonably priced. “For houses that use a lot of glass, it is possible to use insulating film to meet the requirements of preventing greenhouse heat effectively. For walls, if you want to reduce heat, you must build thick walls or add an insulation layer to prevent heat. In addition, when building a house, it is necessary to build high ceilings to create ventilation, good air circulation for the whole house “- Mr. Dat shared. For the interior part of the house, there is also a separate layout to cope with the hot summer air. In order for the house to be airy, the homeowner should not simply decorate the house, do not use cumbersome furniture, the items that are rarely used should be stored in the closet to create neatness. In addition, the selection of paint colors for the walls and interior tones and items will also greatly affect the hot and cold feeling of the house. Vietnamese homeowners should take advantage of bright colors such as white, gray, green, and pink, which will help reduce the hot feeling on a summer day. You should limit your use of colors such as red and black because they easily absorb light and create a hotter feeling.
