When buying a house, a process that buyers must go through is the selection of apartment types. What kind of layout is more suitable for living?
Why do everyone choose the first floor? What is a one-story building? A one-story building, also called a slab building, generally has a length significantly greater than its width. The counterpart to a one-story building is an I-shaped building. That is, the products with 2 elevators, 4 households, and 5 households are common on the market.
For office buildings, one floor has obvious advantages. Now let’s compare the four major advantages of one floor:
Advantage 1: Lower density, 2 elevators and 3 households, elevator Entrance
I-shaped buildings have high density. In order to maximize the building area, there are usually 4 households with 2 elevators and 5 households with 2 elevators. In the same 30-story building, there are 60 to 90 households in the one-story building and 120-150 households in the I-shaped building. The density is nearly doubled!
Advantage 2: Orientation correction: There are few terraces, easy to design and arrange, and every household faces south.
Because there are multiple apartment types on the entire floor of an office building, the wind coming from any direction is blocked by the units in front, resulting in poor ventilation. Chinese houses prefer due south, which is more suitable for Feng Shui.
Advantage three: better ventilation. The one-story apartments are transparent and unobstructed, with better ventilation. Every household can enjoy the north-south cross-ventilation.
Because there are multiple units on one floor of an office building, the wind coming from any direction is blocked by the units in front, resulting in poor ventilation. In the south, the weather is very hot in summer, and ventilation is very important for the living environment.
Advantage 4: Better lighting. One floor with 2 staircases and 2 or 3 households are distributed in a straight line, so you can enjoy plenty of sunshine from morning to night.
In office buildings, there are generally 4, 6 or even 8 households on the entire floor of one unit, resulting in each unit on the entire floor blocking each other and poor lighting effects. Only on the first floor can you enjoy the sunshine every day by pushing the window open. Whether it is summer or winter, the sunshine is always the most beautiful.
