For the people of rural Vietnam, the "Chi" is an extension of the main house, a space that embodies simplicity, functionality, and familiarity. Whether serving as a kitchen, a veranda, or a communal area, the "Chi" always evokes a sense of warmth and closeness. Typically open or with minimal doors, it allows for natural ventilation from front to back, with an extended roof providing shade and shelter. Much like the "Tho Bt" houses in Southern Vietnam, which serve as gathering spaces for guests, celebrations, or relaxation, Trc Lm Anh Retreat embraces the essence of a "Chi," a transitional, expansive, and connective space.Save this picture!Located 4 km southeast of Buon Ma Thuot city center, Trc Lm Anh Retreat is a 50m space nestled within a lush garden, adjacent to the family home. Designed as a versatile sanctuary, it serves as a tranquil workspace and an intimate setting for receiving guests that is peaceful, refined, and independent from the main house. At the same time, it offers the homeowners a serene retreat, a place to unwind and escape the noise and bustle of urban life.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Trc Lm Anh Retreat is a harmonious fusion of traditional cultural values and contemporary architectural thinking, bridging past and present. The design integrates the "Hng Hin," a signature element of traditional Vietnamese architecture with the stilt houses of the Central Highlands, creating a unique transitional space that embodies the interaction between humans, nature, and indigenous culture. More than just a physical structure, this architectural ensemble blends modern aesthetics with the raw beauty of vernacular design. Traditional tiled roofs are reinterpreted in a contemporary form while maintaining their rustic simplicity, serving as a gentle reminder of heritage. The two main sections, the functional block and the multipurpose block, are not only designed for practical use but also act as connecting elements within the overall composition. The "Hng Hin", as an intermediary space, blurs the boundaries between the interior and exterior, reflecting the seamless harmony between man and nature, between stillness and movement.Save this picture!Save this picture!Rather than featuring a conventional faade, the retreat reveals its essence through a cross-section of layered structures subtly unveiled beyond the slanted entrance wall. The design is direct and unpretentious, yet graceful and well-orchestrated, with overlapping "layers, planes, and wings" leading to a curved staircase that ascends to the rooftop terrace, a poetic closure to the sequence.Save this picture!By utilizing locally sourced materials such as natural stone, terrazzo, reclaimed wood from old buildings, and clay tiles, Trc Lm Anh Retreat embodies the rich identity of the Central Highlands. These materials not only enhance the rustic and inviting aesthetic but also reinforce sustainability and appreciation for natural resources. The raw yet refined architectural elements create a living space deeply rooted in tradition while embracing contemporary sensibilities. Simple and natural interior finishes, with earthy tones and materials reminiscent of the forested landscape, seamlessly blend the retreat into its surroundings, celebrating both nature and local culture.Save this picture!Project gallerySee allShow lessAbout this office6717 StudioOfficeMaterialsConcreteBrickMaterials and TagsPublished on April 06, 2025Cite: "Truc Lam Anh Retreat / 6717 Studio" 06 Apr 2025.

The Tinsel Rack has long been known for stylish, accessible pieces that resonate with both Millennials and Gen Z. As the brand evolved, it needed clarity?not just in look, but in purpose. Bravo helped redefine its role in a world of rigid trends and algorithmic sameness, positioning it instead as The Style Play Room?a space for experimentation and self-expression.This new mindset shifted TTR from trend provider to curator of possibilities, inviting individuals to play with style on their own terms. A bold, expressive identity system was created to reflect this freedom?modular layouts, confident typography, and a cheeky, encouraging voice. Today, TTR isn't just a label. It's a fashion playground where personal style is discovered, not prescribed.

Last week, U.S. President Donald Trump's administration announced its new import tariff plans for almost all nations around the globe, and it appears that Apple will be facing quite a bit of hardship. This is because Apple's supply chain exists outside of the United States, and it relies almost exclusively on imports. This is one of the reasons why the company has kept the prices of its products at bay, at least for most products. A prominent analyst has now detailed some ideas on how Apple could mitigate these import tariffs and avoid increasing the price of its iPhone lineup.Analyst details ideas to mitigate the impact of the tariffs imposed by the Trump administrationTariffs would make imports quite costly, and as a result, the company would ultimately have to increase the price of its products, including the iPhone. As we have recently covered, Apple will not move overseas manufacturing to the United States, as it would be an even more costly affair. Following the news, Apple's stock fell by almost 10 percent, and the company would only have a handful of options to play around with.President Trump has imposed a 54 percent tax on imports from China, 26 percent from India, and 46 percent from Vietnam, and even more so on other countries. Basically, the country wants companies to reduce imports and manufacture products locally, but given the economy, it would be a very expensive deal, and the final price would have to be borne by the end user. In lieu of these tariffs, Mark Gurman from Bloomberg has devised a handful of ideas through which Apple could mitigate the impact of the higher import cost.Gurman states that Apple should urge component and manufacturing partners to offer more competitive pricing, which would allow Apple to reduce its overall production expenses.Apple should cover some of the added cost itself, which would allow it to divide portions of the tariff between itself and the end users.Apple should make pricing changes in the short run and evaluate the impact of tariffs in the long run.The company should also expand its manufacturing footprint to other countries, as it would avoid production in the United States.While some nations are working out trade deals, China is not a part of them. Apple has to reduce its dependency on China if it wants to sell products at the same rate; otherwise, a price hike would only draw demand down. For now, Apple has been reportedly stocking up products in preparation for the tariffs, which will take effect on April 9. This will allow the company to sell the products at their usual price for a bit longer. We will share an update to the story, so be sure to keep an eye out.Deal of the Day
