Borrowed Proportions: Cambodia and Laos take only one element each

A space primarily Vietnamese, borrowing only one item from a neighboring region. French Indochina encompassed Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos, so a Khmer-style sandstone head can be placed on a stone table in the entrance, or a Laotian hand-woven fabric can be hung on the wall; however, the walls, grilles, lacquer paintings, and lamps should still be Vietnamese in style. The borrowed item is placed in a focal position and individually lit.
Avoid: Mixing elements from all three regions equally, placing multiple Buddha statues as decoration, allowing the borrowed object to overshadow the main Vietnamese elements, or adding Thai gold leaf and spires.

一個以越南為主體的空間,只借一件鄰近地區的東西。法屬印度支那涵蓋越南、柬埔寨與寮國,所以玄關的石台上可以放一尊高棉風格的砂岩頭像,或牆上掛一塊寮國的手織布;但牆、格柵、漆畫與燈具仍然是越南的語彙。借來的那一件放在端景的位置,單獨打光。避免:把三地的元素等量混在一起、放置多尊佛像當裝飾、讓借用的物件比主體語彙更搶眼、加入泰式的貼金與尖頂。
