What are the advantages and disadvantages compared to other types of housing?

After reading this, you will understand clearly.

Duplex houses are inspired by the design concept of split-level houses. In construction, each household still occupies an upper and lower floor. In fact, a 1.2-meter mezzanine is added to the higher floor.

What are the types of duplex houses? Economic duplex houses divide ordinary houses into two floors, upstairs and downstairs. You can enter and exit the upstairs bedroom without passing through the living room. You can rest upstairs and do activities downstairs to achieve the best privacy. Its advantages are increased.

The land utilization rate minimizes development costs; the enjoyment of both yin and yang makes the match between the house and people's daily life more humane.

Small-sized duplex residences Duplex residences have always been aristocratic residences. Their selling prices are often higher than those of ordinary residences in the same community. Their area is generally around 200 square meters, so the total price is beyond the affordability of ordinary consumers.

, causing many consumers to "sigh with excitement" at the sight of duplexes. For traditional duplex houses, small duplexes are characterized by a significant reduction in area, but the structure of the units has not changed much.

When buyers of a semi-duplex house purchase a house and renovate it, they can build a first floor to separate the space, and use the upper floor as a bedroom, storage room, etc. according to their own needs.

This type of semi-duplex is more suitable for a house with a relatively small space. Home buyers can change the layout of the house themselves to achieve a duplex effect. The advantage is that the total price remains unchanged and the space is increased.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of duplex housing?

There are some shortcomings in the design, construction and use of duplex residences: 1. Duplex residences are wide and small in depth. If the interior plan combination is used, it will inevitably lead to poor orientation of some units and poor natural lighting.

2. The floor height is too low. For example, the kitchen is only 2 meters high. Long-term use may easily cause cramping and discomfort. The storage room is large, but the floor height is only 1.2 meters, making it difficult to fully utilize it.

3. Since the indoor partition floors are all made of thin wooden partitions, the cost of the wood is high, and the sound insulation and fire prevention functions are poor, resulting in poor privacy and security of the room.

Although duplex houses have some shortcomings, in recent years architects have designed more reasonable structures through continuous improvement, perfection, and exploration, combined with my country's national conditions.

It is foreseeable that this kind of exquisite duplex house will inevitably become a hot-selling product in the residential market due to its obvious economic benefits and relatively low price.

Advantages: ① The plane utilization coefficient is high, and the use area of ??the house can be increased by 50%-70% through interlayer compounding; ② The indoor partition is a wooden structure, which integrates partition furniture and decoration, and is both a wall and a floor slab.

Beds and cabinets reduce the overall cost; ③ Sliding windows are used on the upper floor to provide good ventilation and lighting. Compared with ordinary residences with the same floor height and area, the land utilization rate can be increased by 40%.
