1. Classification of residential units
1. Classification by height
Residences can be divided into low-rise, multi-story, mid-rise, high-rise and Super high-rise.
Low-rise residences refer to residences with 1 to 3 floors, mainly single-family detached residences, or two-family vertical and multi-family townhouses, mainly villas; Multi-storey residences refer to 4 to 6-storey residences, which use public stairs to solve vertical traffic. They are a representative urban collective residence; mid- and high-rise residences refer to 7 to 9 floors; and high-rise residences refer to 10-storey residences. Above 30 floors; super high-rise residential buildings refer to buildings above 30 floors. The main advantages of high-rise residences are high land utilization efficiency, large outdoor public space and facilities, and good views. In addition, the term "small high-rise" generally refers to a 9 to 12-story residential complex. In terms of scale, it has the same atmosphere as a multi-story residence, but it is a lower high-rise residential building, so it is called a small high-rise.

The types of residential buildings are mainly divided into: unit residences, apartment residences, duplex residences, loft residences, garden house residences (villas), Small apartments, etc.

(4) Duplex residences
Generally refers to each residence building a mezzanine on a higher floor. The total floor height of the two floors is much lower than that of a loft residence. (The duplex is 3.3 meters, while the general jump-level type is 5.6 meters). The lower floor is used for living, such as cooking, dining, bathing, etc.; the upper floor is used for rest, sleep and storage.
(5) Split-level house
Refers to a house occupying two floors, with the upper and lower floors connected by internal stairs. Most of the loft apartments are located on the top floor of the house, combined with the design of the north terrace on the top floor. Therefore, the large platform is one of the features of many loft apartments. The interior layout generally has the living room, dining room, kitchen, bathroom, guest room, etc. on the first floor, and the bedrooms, study room, etc. with strong privacy on the second floor.

The popularity of small apartments is closely related to the lifestyle of young people nowadays. Many young people have become more and more independent after joining the workforce. In addition, welfare housing allocation is gradually being cancelled. Therefore, when the financial ability is not strong and the family size is not large, buying a small house is a wise transition. Sexual selection.
3. Classification by type
The types of residential units can be mainly divided into: one-bedroom, two-bedroom, three-bedroom, multi-bedroom, etc.
"Unit" refers to the range of living space used independently by a family, that is, it refers to the area of the residential unit used by each family. The type of housing is the type of living space that meets the requirements of different types of family life. We are also accustomed to call it "house type".
The area index of residential units is divided into rooms. Generally speaking, a room of no less than 12 square meters in a house is called a room, and a room of 6 to 12 square meters is called a half room. Rooms less than 6 square meters are generally not counted as a room. Therefore, a house House types can be divided into one-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bedroom, two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bedroom, three-bedroom, multi-bedroom, etc. What needs to be pointed out here is that the concept of "room" actually means "space".
In addition, the more popular term for "house type" is to name it according to the number of "bedrooms", which is the so-called one-bedroom, two-bedroom, three-bedroom, multi-bedroom, etc. For example, the common ones include two bedrooms and one living room, three bedrooms and two living rooms, etc. Of course, the "bedroom" referred to here is not necessarily used as a bedroom; and the "living room" refers to the living room space, which generally includes the living room or dining room, or even the living room (the "living room" of small and medium-sized apartments often doubles as the dining room, and the "passing hall" of large apartments often doubles as the dining room. The "passage hall" generally has a separate function).
(1) One-bedroom apartment
One-bedroom apartment is a typical small apartment in terms of room type. It usually refers to one bedroom, one living room (referring to the living room, which is usually very small) and one bathroom. , a kitchen (or maybe not). The characteristic is that a variety of functional activities must be reasonably arranged in a small space, including living, receiving guests, storage, study, etc.; market housing prices are generally high per unit price, but the total price is low, and the consumer group is generally single. At present, one-bedroom apartments are a scarce type of apartment in terms of real estate development, especially in big cities, and the demand is relatively strong.
(2) Two-bedroom apartments
Generally speaking, there are two types of apartments: two bedrooms and one living room, and two bedrooms and two living rooms. But two bedrooms and one living room are common, which means there are two bedrooms, a living room (the living room can also serve as a dining room, which is slightly larger than a one-bedroom apartment), a bathroom and a kitchen. It is characterized by moderate house sizes, convenience and practicality, and the consumer group is generally new families. Two-bedroom apartments are also a common small apartment structure.
(3) Three-bedroom apartments
Three-bedroom apartments can be classified as a larger apartment type, mainly including three bedrooms and one living room, and three bedrooms and two living rooms. It means there are three bedrooms, one or two living rooms (living room and dining room), one or two bathrooms and a kitchen. The characteristic is that the area is relatively spacious. The three-bedroom apartment, especially the three-bedroom apartment with two living rooms, is a relatively mature and stereotyped apartment type. Generally, the residence time is longer, and it is a common mass apartment type. Therefore, a three-bedroom apartment has relatively complete functional requirements, and the aesthetic requirements of each owner in the family are also different.
2. What aspects should you pay attention to when choosing a room type?
1. In the design of a house of about 100 square meters, the width of the two-bedroom living room should be at least 3.8-4 meters, the living room should be larger than 20 square meters, and the master bedroom should be larger than 12 square meters. The width is about 3 meters, and the other bedroom is larger than 10 square meters, and the width is also about 3 meters. The kitchen should be larger than 3 square meters; the living room width of a three-bedroom apartment should be larger than 4 square meters, and the area should be larger than 24 square meters.
For slab buildings, the depth is relatively short, generally 12-13 meters, and the width is about 6 meters.
2. Basic elements include lighting, heat, sound insulation, noise reduction and ventilation. For lighting and ventilation, it is generally appropriate to have a surface-to-width ratio of 1:1.5. Slab buildings have advantages over towers in this regard.
3. In terms of specific space, there must be a kitchen, and it should be Chinese style. Although it may be used less often, it must be able to fire. The restaurant can be relatively small. It is very important to have a storage room. A medium-sized cloakroom is enough, about two square meters, and is very practical.
4. The functional divisions must be clear and the streamline design must be reasonable.
Three or six indicators to understand the house plan
1. Bay and depth. Whether the apartment type is good or bad, the bay and depth are very important. Bay refers to the width of a room, generally between 3 and 3.9 meters. Depth refers to the length of the room, which is generally controlled at about 5 meters. If the depth is too deep and the bay is narrow, it will be detrimental to lighting and ventilation. Generally, the two indicators of depth and bay will be marked on the house plan. There are numbers mixed in between the two drawn straight lines, such as 4.2 meters and 3.9 meters. Generally speaking, the smaller the total value of depth, the better, and the larger the bay, the better.
2. Area. Most house plans will indicate the total floor area of the house, but there are fluctuations between this data and the actual delivery standards. Therefore, on many house plans, the area is marked as approximately how many square meters the building area is, or the greater than or equal symbol is used. This is normal. In addition, when looking at the floor plan, you must pay attention to distinguish the difference between the construction area and the actual use area. In this case, you need to ask the salesperson how much the shared area of the property is. Subtract the shared area from the building area to get the actual usable area of the house. The smaller the shared area of a house, the higher the housing acquisition rate and the more affordable it is.
3. Proportion. Whether the house type is reasonable or not does not depend on the size, but on the proportion and layout relationship between the various parts of the house. This relationship depends on the designer’s grasp of the entire room type, and it is also related to the details of daily life. For example, when the total area is not large, it is common for the second bedroom to have only 8 to 9 square meters, but this situation is difficult to implement in actual use. In addition, some house types have the bathroom door directly facing the living room and dining room. When you look at the house plan, you won't feel that there is a big problem with such a location. However, in real life, you may encounter problems such as indoor air quality. Bad question. Therefore, when looking at the floor plan, home buyers need to study it carefully and consider it slowly.
4. Isolated unit. In many house plans, the unit plan of a certain residence often occupies at least 70% of the layout, while the floor plan of the entire floor is located in a small corner of the screen that is not noticed. Don't ignore this little corner that doesn't attract attention. For example: On a floor, there are usually elevators, walkways, stairs, strong and weak currents, aisle windows, etc. Each factor has more or less positive or negative effects on daily use. When you put the room type back into the floor plan, you can understand how it is affected by these accessories. If you look deeper, the impact of adjacent room types cannot be ignored. Whether the lighting is blocked or not, and whether privacy is guaranteed or not, are all critical.
5. Structure. Room types need to be made up for innate deficiencies at certain times. Therefore, it is also important to understand the variable structure of room types. For example: which walls can be moved and which walls must not be moved; the location of sewer pipes and water pipes, the direction of electric wires, etc., must also be mastered as much as possible. This information should be clearly understood from the salesperson when purchasing off-plan property. When it's time to move in, if things don't go as you wish and you take the risk of moving some load-bearing walls and pipes and ruining a good house, it will be more than worth the loss.
6. Furniture placement. In order to achieve an effect, some house plans will make the tables, chairs and benches in the drawings into unequal proportions, giving buyers the illusion that the space can accommodate large sets of furniture. Therefore, the proportions of furniture on the floor plans cannot be taken lightly. This point is relatively hidden, and home buyers need to be extra careful when looking at floor plans.
The above is a classification of house types from various angles. House types are not just a few bedrooms. It is also important to understand the floor plan, because only by understanding the floor plan can you know the load-bearing walls, air-conditioning positions, etc. It will also be helpful for the decoration and design of your own house in the future.
