admin — Mon, 16 Sep 2019 09:13:24 +0000

Located in the central town of Nha Trang, a house carved into a hill has great sea views, and a 50-seat cinema behind its swimming pool.

Located on a 420 square meter plot, this house in central Nha Trang Town offers views of the oceans with the bay and mountains in the background.

Architect Pham Thi My An (MM++ architects) decided to maximize the number of bedrooms and entertainment experience to ensure residents have a memorable stay.

The house has two entrances. The first one is behind a stone fence and the second is an exterior staircase running to the higher deck with a swimming pool.

The pool level, the fourth, also has a high ceiling space that combines the kitchen, the dining area and the living room, with a pool table thrown in, for good measure. Above it is the fifth floor resembling a timber box with large five-storey house has two main parts. A high ceiling volume, glazed in the front and stone cladding in the back; and a timber box with large louvers.

The building uses its ground level as a garage and as a space for a 50-seat cinema behind in the back of the pool, not to mention spa facilities.

On the third floor, facing the cliff-side is a bedroom suite with a private garden and outdoor bathroom.

A closer look at the fourth floor, which hosts the main space that combines the kitchen, dining and living room in a seamless connection with outdoor spaces via glass doors.

On the fourth floor are deck chairs that have a continuous view of the pool and the seascape.

The top floor has been used for bedrooms that have a system of glass doors and wooden shutters allowing the residents to decide how much light to let in. The house is on a large podium that gives it the needed height to get sea views over the street and residences in front.

Long haul flights to shift from Tan Son Nhat to Long Thanh airport

When operational, the Long Thanh International Airport will receive planes flying 1,000 kilometers and more.

The move is planned to reduce the burden on the heavily overloaded Tan Son Nhat International Airport, currently the biggest in the country.

In the future, the Tan Son Nhat Airport in Ho Chi Minh City will receive narrow-bodied jets like Airbus A321 and Boeing 737 used for routes under 1,000 kilometers, the Ministry of Transport said in the feasibility report it submitted to the government in late July for the new Long Thanh International Airport.

Long Thanh airport, to be built in the southern province of Dong Nai, will have four stories, with the ground floor for welcoming passengers, first floor for arrivals, transit and baggage claim, second floor for shopping and restaurants and third floor for departures and customs, the report said.

Do Tat Binh, deputy director of the Airports Corporation of Vietnam (ACV), which partnered with a French-Japanese-Vietnamese consortium to produce the feasibility report, said that the airport will have large spaces for trees and a waterfall. Natural light will be utilized to the maximum, he added.

The report, which is scheduled to be presented to the National Assembly in October, proposes three funding options for the airport: from official development assistance (ODA), appointing ACV as the main investor, or inviting bids from interested investors.

It highly recommends the option, to have state-owned ACV, which runs 22 airports in the country, be the main investor. The corporation has experience building runways, parking bays and terminals for the biggest airports in Vietnam, the report noted.

The Long Thanh International Airport, to be built in three phases over three decades, is set to become Vietnam’s largest airport.

The first phase is scheduled for completion in 2025, when the new airport will be able to handle 25 million passengers a year. The next two phases will run from 2030 to 2035 and from 2040 to 2050.

The three phases are estimated to cost $5.4 billion now, but experts have warned this could double if the project is delayed by five years.

Lying 40 kilometers east of HCMC, the airport is expected to take up the overflow from the largest existing airport in the country, the Tan Son Nhat International Airport.

Once completed, Long Thanh International Airport will have an annual capacity of 100 million passengers and five million tons of cargo.

Tan Son Nhat served 38 million passengers last year, up 6.4 percent from 2017, way above its designed capacity of 25 million passengers.

Vietnamese airports served 103.5 million passengers last year, up 11 percent from 2017, according to ACV.

A Da Lat house has two fronts, no back portion

admin — Tue, 23 Jul 2019 13:48:08 +0000

A Da Lat house straddles two streets with a complex design featuring six sides, no perpendicular angle and two facades.

The three-storied house in the Central Highlands town of Da Lat has a design which gives it two facades and no rear. The original house was with a family for years, but a son who returned to Da Lat after studying and working for sometime in Saigon decided to rebuild the house last year.

The owner wanted a house with a lot of light, not too retro, but fitting Da Lat architecture with its strong French colonial influences.

The first facade looks like a vintage luxury French villa with a white sparse fence and a wooden net that covers the front of the top floor.

The second facade, facing a residential area, wears a more casual look with bright walls and moderately small wooden windows behind the balcony and the gate.

The complex design of the house, which has a total area of 310 square meters, gives it six sides with no perpendicular angle.

The central space connects the functional rooms.

The void between floors provides great views of the valleys in Da Lat.

Just like the house design, the interior is a blend of the traditional and modern designs with wooden furniture and leather sofas.

The house has a fair share of doors and windows to allow plenty of natural light, as the owner wanted.

Each room and each corner has windows of different shapes and proportions.

The house continues to allow light to come in through openings in many places including the stairs.

The exterior of the house is paved with raw stone and hemp paint to absorb the light. It also has sloping roofs and thick double layered walls, using a variety of wood types for flooring and furniture to suit local climatic conditions.
