The history of apartment houses
Apartment houses were originally "imported products" and were more economical and practical than single-family villas. Apartment-style residences in early big cities were all high-rise buildings, with several single-family suites on each floor, including bedrooms, living rooms, living rooms, bathrooms, toilets, kitchens, etc.
my country's early apartment houses already have the prototype of modern urban unit houses. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, European and American-style apartment buildings were built in some big cities, such as Broadway Building and Seaside Apartments in Shanghai. The characteristics of this type of housing built at that time were that there were many rooms in a unit, usually 3 to 4; a large area, 14 to 18 square meters per room; a headroom of 3 to 3.4 meters, and a fully functional kitchen.
However, this kind of housing does not match the living standards of our country, and the size of the units does not match. Later, it gradually evolved into a living model in which several people live together and use the kitchen. At present, large-room apartment-style residences of the 1950s are being eliminated in terms of architectural design. However, due to the earlier construction of this type of residence, the high level of municipal facilities and public facilities, and the fact that they are mostly located in the city center, It is still quite popular in the residential market. This type of residence has a large indoor space and can be used to enhance its functionality through interior decoration.
