Less furnitures, air and sunlight will be free to get in. Less materials, their value are shown up. It's balance in space.
A 70m2 apartment with two bedrooms is located in Hochiminh city, Vietnam. This apartment building was built on an old palm forest beside the big city. It is a raw handing over apartment, but It's original plan was excellent designed with two balconies which created a huge flow for wind to get in and out of the space. In oder to keep the good air and sunlight, we aim to use as less furniture as possible. So, we could have more attention to details and usage of each items. This increase the value of furniture and materials.
We tried to use less materials in oder to make a quiet and peacefull space. Only 3 main materials are used, terazzo, wood, and stone which were so familiar to Vietnamese people as our Fathers had been using them for years. The mix of nature materials color, white walls, plants and sunlight were the best choice for this small apartment as they are all combined and bring fresh feeling for people who live in it.
