The intent of the “Renovate and Innovate” project is to create a new design of tube house that draws inspiration from both old Hanoi houses and modern housing styles. Key structural components include red brick tiles, wood tiles, and beige concrete walls. I was inspired by the numerous vibrant textures such as red-brown brick colors from Bat Trang pottery, which were featured in most of the Old Quarters home models. They strongly express Hanoi’s distinctiveness and may capture the traditional beauty of Hanoi that we strive for. I also aim to change the interior design to a more modern approach. I intended to create a light and airy design, with neutral to mid-tone colors acting as the primary palette. The space should also convey a connection to nature. Therefore, I used materials like brown wood and dark red bricks to express this atmosphere. These materials also contribute to the cozy atmosphere seen in Hanoi’s traditional homes. While keeping the traditional concept of communal space and horizontal size in mind, I want to arrange the interior to give people a sense of open spaces, which was inspired by modern design these days.
