1、 What are the advantages of duplex building?
1. High indoor space utilization
The duplex building has expanded 50% or more use space through the compartment. In short, this is a design idea of 'asking for space from height'.
2. Dynamic and static separation
The compound building can be divided into dynamic and static zones in a limited area. Usually, the living, receiving and entertainment are arranged at the lower level, while the family office, learning place and storage space are arranged at the upper level.
3. More personalized private design
Duplex building can integrate more creativity and reflect personality. In the actual design, the lower floor is all family entertainment center, while the upper floor is all non hospitality area, which is very personalized.
2、 What are the disadvantages of duplex building?
1. Limited floor height
The duplex building is not really a 'two-story building'. Therefore, after dividing the space into upper and lower layers, the height of these two layers will be affected. Although the dynamic and static are separated and the storage space is large, these are at the expense of floor height.
2. Stair hazard
The design of stairs is particularly important in duplex buildings. If you want to save space, you should design the stairs steeper and narrower, which will bring great inconvenience and even danger to the elderly and children. The design of the stairs will occupy too much indoor space.
3. Poor safety performance
The decoration of duplex building will use a large number of wood, wood and other raw materials, which will cause poor sound insulation effect and poor fire performance of the house.
3、 What should I pay attention to when buying a duplex building?
1. It depends on the division of each functional interval
Generally speaking, due to the natural partition between the upper and lower floors of the duplex building, public sections are often arranged on the lower floor, such as living room, dining room, guest bedroom, kitchen, etc. The master bedroom is arranged on the upper floor. This mainly considers the host and guest zones to keep the host's activity interval private. Therefore, when looking at the house, we must see whether the division is clear.
2. It depends on whether the facade design of the house is reasonable
This is mainly due to the consideration of the location of indoor stairs, which can not occupy too much space, nor destroy the indoor integrity, and is convenient for future decoration. Generally, the indoor stairs are close to the wall and close to the living room and dining room. The lower space of the stairs shall not occupy the main space as much as possible. For example, the storage space designed after decoration will not affect the overall layout.
3. It depends on the setting of the bathroom
Some designs have no toilet on the upper floor of the duplex, so there will be some inconvenience in use. In addition, if the duplex building has a large area, it should be considered to set up a separate master bedroom bathroom and guest bathroom.
4. It depends on whether there is a terrace
Generally, the top duplex building should have a relatively large terrace, which is given away when selling. Some adopt slope roof type duplex buildings, and an attic can be built on the top floor; The lowest point of the slope top of some duplex buildings is relatively high, which can be about 2 meters, which is equivalent to spending a two-story house price and buying a three-story area. In this way, buyers will be quite cost-effective in terms of price.
