What are the defects of old and small huxing?

In Shanghai, the old and young with good location and cheap price often become the choice of most customers who just need it.

Is this product really good? If you really want to choose the youngest, I don't know if you can accept its apartment.

I have seen many old and small ones on the market, and almost all of them have some common problems of apartment types.

There is no living room, but the exaggerated long corridor still has a dark kitchen and dark guards. If the lights are not turned on, it will be dark. ...

It is too difficult to choose a good apartment in a shabby old house.

Today, I will take you to see the embarrassing apartment design.

0 1

There was no complete guest restaurant before.

The following two old and shabby small apartments are almost the same layout, with two bedrooms, one south and one north, and a kitchen and bathroom in the middle.

And there is no complete hall, even if there is, it is only a hall.

The middle section made a long corridor connecting the two bedrooms, which happened to be connected with the kitchen.

Then this space is used as a place for cooking and eating. At the same time, eating has become the only way for the family to communicate, and then they can only go back to the bedroom.

Because the space is too cramped, only thirty or forty square meters, in fact, there is no way to make another living room, only to meet the most basic needs of life.

The whole house has only three spaces: bedroom, bathroom and kitchen.

So, you see, in fact, old people and young people have no normal social attributes.

Accurately speaking, these houses are all houses before 2000. In the 1980s, the role of "Hall" was not taken seriously.

Usually, there is a lot of space in the bedroom. In addition to sleeping, family meals and activities are basically in the bedroom.

It was not until around 2000 that Shanghai entered the era of housing commercialization.

There are essential differences between commercial housing and the youngest. The biggest change in commercial housing is to start optimizing the apartment type, and then optimize the community and property services.

Huxing changes is the living room from scratch, began to pay attention to public space.

Therefore, the space of the bedroom is constantly compressed, and the area of the living room becomes larger. As long as the bedroom can meet the needs of sleeping and resting, it becomes smaller.

Now, for us, living in a house is not only a place to sleep, but also a place for family members to interact, including friends' visits and the design of some social spaces.

The previous space can't meet the functional requirements of people's living, which is why many people now sell their old houses and buy new ones.

Without the concept of hall, the bedroom is very big.

Old and small bedrooms are actually too big, and some bedrooms are nearly 20㎡.

This apartment is a two-bedroom apartment with an indoor area of 49.4㎡, and the two-bedroom apartment of about 20㎡ adds up to 39.4㎡, accounting for nearly 80% of the total area.

There is no living room, and the kitchen and bathroom are very small, adding up to only10m2.

I have also seen two typical big bedroom units. The first is an airplane unit, which is a two-bedroom apartment with an interior area of 46.3㎡.

14.7 square meters bedroom is not too big at first glance, but it is already very big in a small apartment with less than 50 square meters.

Bedroom A and Bedroom B add up to 28㎡, which is equivalent to 60% of the whole house.

The second type of slender apartment is divided into two types, one is a vertical bar with excessive depth and the other is a horizontal bar with excessive width.

The vertical apartment below is a two-bedroom apartment with an indoor area of 43.3㎡.

Bedroom A plus balcony and bedroom B add up to 30.5m2, accounting for 70% of the whole house.

Generally speaking, the living room, kitchen and bathroom are designed to occupy half of the area, but this apartment is only 40%.

But in fact, the bedroom doesn't need to be that big. Even if it is expanded, it will be a small-scale expansion.

For example, add a cloakroom and a square meter dresser, or add a bathroom to a large apartment to make a master bedroom suite.

At first, people didn't have much demand for the living room, or paid insufficient attention to it. People just want to make the sleeping place bigger in the same size house.

So many old people don't have a living room, or simply use the aisle as a hall.

However, people's living needs are constantly changing. It was really inconvenient to receive relatives and friends in the dormitory before, and it was easy to expose personal privacy.

Now everyone is more willing to sacrifice bedroom space to meet the functional needs of the living room.

So now, the house layout design, the bedroom space is shrinking, and the living room is constantly being enlarged.

If you are not careful, you may run into a dark kitchen and dark guards.

The biggest difference between a dark kitchen and a dark bathroom and a bright kitchen and a bright bathroom is that they have no windows.

The apartment below is typical. Its bathroom and kitchen are sandwiched between the north and south bedrooms and surrounded by walls.

Don't underestimate a window. There is no window, which means there is no natural lighting and ventilation inside.

I have seen many such units before, and the pattern may be different, but the environment of the kitchen and bathroom is very uniform, with dark light and no ventilation.

This is a photo of a dark kitchen I saw before:

This kitchen has no windows, and the lighting effect is really much worse than that of the south bedroom.

In fact, the kitchen must be bright. First, for safety, otherwise, if it is in a closed space, once the gas leaks, the impact will be great.

In addition, the kitchen needs lighting for cooking. For example, good lighting can ensure good operation when cutting vegetables.

What's more, there are many things in the kitchen, which are dark and humid, mixed with various smells, and it is easy to breed bacteria and attract bugs.

Similarly, the bathroom also needs good lighting and ventilation.

In fact, the house I live in is a dark bathroom. Although the bathroom decoration is quite clean and bright, it is completely dark as soon as the lights are turned off.

The bathroom is obviously not ventilated, especially in summer when the air is hot and humid. After taking a bath in it, it becomes a sauna.

Because there is no window, you should turn on the light even during the day, and turn off the light every time you go in and out of the bathroom, otherwise it will waste electricity.

Of course, you can't turn on the light without lighting. The key is that the ventilation effect is not good and there are many problems.

The indoor environment will be very humid and it is easy to breed bacteria. Some unpleasant smells are not easy to disperse, and it is inevitable that such an environment will be uncomfortable for a long time.

I suggest that when you look at the house, especially when the old small apartment is unfamiliar, you can pay close attention to this and avoid accidentally buying a dark kitchen or bathroom.

There are also some extremely embarrassing designs

When we went to see the shabby little house, we found that if a family lived in only one bedroom, the other room would almost become a messy space.

The root cause is that there is no storage space.

For example, there is no porch. As soon as you enter the door, it is a short aisle. According to my experience of living in an old and shabby place, I usually throw it on the ground when I buy food or send it home by express delivery.

Because there is no place for you to put these things.

Under normal circumstances, accommodation accounts for about 12% of the interior area of the house, which is divided into different spaces, including entrance accommodation, living room accommodation, study accommodation and so on.

The smaller the apartment, the more it needs to be accommodated. But in the past, people seldom considered this when designing houses, so the more they lived, the more crowded they felt.

One more thing, I wonder if you have seen such a house. Several times before, a toilet was pointed at you when you entered the room.

I don't know what it feels like, but it's strange.

The toilet faces the entrance door and the toilet faces the entrance. It's embarrassing to push the door in the toilet.

And in general, it is difficult to change the position of the toilet, because it is fixed, and some designs, such as the drainage pipe below, are not easy to change.

So some people will choose to make a bookshelf or screen to cover it.

Of course, it is best to avoid when choosing a house.

Why do you still have such unreasonable apartments when you are old?

We've been talking about old and young. What kind of house is old and small?

If you search on Baidu, the answer may be like this:

There is nothing wrong with this answer, but it is difficult to understand what is old and small in just nine words.

Old means that its room age is very old, more than 20 years, or even more than 30 years. Are all old people old and young?

Must be a non-commercial house before 2000.

Small refers to its small living area, generally not more than 50 square meters. More than 30 square meters and more than 40 square meters are common.

Because more than 20 years ago, apartments were generally one-bedroom, but now they are two-bedroom or three-bedroom apartments with an area of 89㎡.

Old and small huxing has some serious injuries, and it is doomed to be eliminated today after 20 years.

As for the old and the small, the proportion in the second-hand market in Shanghai is very high, which is too substitutable.

If there are no particularly strict requirements for huxing, buying old rags is also an option. On the other hand, if you are very picky about the apartment type, I suggest you pay more attention and even try not to choose the youngest.

For those old and small products, it can only be used as the last choice.
