互動空間

從當地搜購回來的磚頭是家居的重點。Tropical Space建築師兼合夥創辦人Nguyen Hai Long。兩段樓梯引領你走到不同睡房，迎合這大家庭需要 store; Long affixed bare bulbs and cables for instantly cool, contemporary light fixtures.

The home was built for his elderly parents and Long needed to ensure that it responded to their needs. For easier mobility, he designed the first floor of the home to be their private realm – where his father could teach piano in the living room, where they could cook and dine in the open-plan kitchen and dining area, and then retreat to their en-suite bedroom. There’s even easy access to their flowering garden, which is bright and blossoming year-round thanks to the tropical sunshine.

Two separate flights of stairs lead to en-suite bedrooms – one in each wing for optimal privacy when the extended family come to visit. And there’s a roof with a picturesque view of the neighbourhood, too. To keep the interiors streamlined and uniform, storage spaces are cleverly built

家居為他的年長父母而設， Long必定要確保房子能回應他們的需要。為了打造簡易流動效果，他把一樓設計成父母的私人天地，方便父親在客廳教琴，又能讓兩老在開放式廚房和飯廳下廚和用餐，接著便能在套房休息放鬆。空間更設通往花園的簡便通道，多得熱帶陽光，這兒年終均沐浴在晨光之中、長滿鮮花。

兩段分隔開的樓梯與套房相連——每翼各設一道，讓家人到訪時仍能保私隱。天台則飽覽社區的如畫景致。為了保持室內裝潢流線俐落一體化，儲物元素均獲巧妙建造、完美隱藏不外露，方便家人把非使用的電器和物件收放起來。
