Public housing design perspectives approached from interior space

Abstract

The project building one million social housing apartments has initially come to life. In order for this big goal to be accomplished not only in quantity but also in quality of life in each of these rather narrow apartments, it is necessary to rely on the right perspectives in design. Based on the practical situation and specific requirements of public housing in Vietnam, five proposed design perspectives include: The viewpoint of integrity in residential function, the viewpoint of flexibility, economy as well as the viewpoint of uniformity and sustainability in design. These design concepts are reference documents and a basis for authorities to take the right steps, contributing to perfecting Vietnam's public housing apartment model.

Keywords: Public housing; flexible public housing apartments; sustainable development; small area.
