The emergence of high-rise elevator rooms has undoubtedly brought an unprecedented novel experience to the living life of modern urbanites.
They are not just simple residences, but also symbols of modernity and convenience.
The high-rise elevator room not only has a beautiful and eye-catching design, but also is extremely convenient to go up and down the stairs, saving you a lot of valuable time and energy. Living on the upper floors, you can enjoy excellent lighting and ventilation, and the rooms have a very wide view, allowing you to enjoy a different city scenery and add a unique color to your life.
However, in recent years, people's concept of buying a house has undergone a lot of changes. People who were once keen on high-rise elevator houses have begun to re-examine their living needs, and some owners even want to move back from high-rise to multi-storey living.
After I moved back from the "high-level" to the "multi-storey", some of the words were not unpleasant, they were too real!
1. Travel is too dependent on elevators
In modern society, high-rise housing has become the mainstream of urban living.
Although it provides residents with a wider view and a more comfortable living environment, it also brings some inconveniences.
For residents living on high-rises, if they choose to take the stairs to go up and down, it will not only consume a lot of time and energy, but also bring a lot of trouble to daily life. Therefore, elevators have become the main choice for high-rise residential residents.
And the elevators aren't flawless. During rush hour, elevator waiting times tend to become long due to the large number of residents in high-rise residences.
Especially for those who live on the upper floors, they may have to wait for ten minutes or more to wait for the elevator.
Such a wait will not only make them late for work, but also bring a lot of unnecessary troubles to their daily life.
To make matters worse, the plight faced by residents of high-rise housing is even more evident in emergencies such as fires.
Since the elevator cannot be used in the event of a fire, they have the option of escaping via a staircase.
For those who live on the upper floors, climbing stairs not only consumes a lot of physical energy, but also can delay valuable escape time. For the elderly and children, this way of escape is even more difficult.
02. Poor living experience
For high-rise residential buildings, the issue of shared area has always been the focus of attention.
Due to the high floor height and building density of high-rise residences, the shared area is often larger, which makes many buyers actually get much less indoor area than the area written in the purchase contract when buying high-rise residences.
According to statistics, the share rate of high-rise residential buildings is generally between 22% and 25%, which means that a house with an area of 100 square meters may only have an actual indoor area of more than 70 square meters.
This situation of large shared area not only makes buyers feel dissatisfied and lost, but also has a great impact on the living experience.
Due to the high plot ratio of high-rise residential buildings, the number of households in the community has also increased correspondingly.
This not only makes the noise problem of high-rise housing more serious, but also affects the living comfort of residents.
In order to achieve a higher plot ratio, the green environment of the community is often sacrificed, making the environmental quality of high-rise residential buildings inferior to that of multi-storey residential buildings.
This, combined with the small spacing of high-rise residences, also leads to poor lighting and ventilation between buildings.
Living in high-rise residential buildings, the light and air quality are often inferior to those of multi-storey residential buildings, which has a certain impact on the physical and mental health of residents.
03. There are many faults
Compared with low-rise housing, high-rise housing needs to be designed and built with more mechanical equipment in mind, such as elevators, water pressurization equipment, electrical power equipment and fire-fighting equipment.
These machines provide the necessary services and guarantees for high-rise residences, but at the same time, they also increase the difficulty of maintenance and management.
Due to the large number of machinery and equipment in high-rise residences, the maintenance cost is often high once there is a problem.
For some communities with poor quality or low level of property management, these mechanical equipment will age faster and are more prone to failure.
Once there is a failure, it will not only affect the normal life of residents, such as elevator outage, insufficient water supply or power interruption, etc., but also increase the maintenance burden and cost of the property!
For some high-rise residences with poor quality, the main structure of the house may also have quality problems, such as wall cracking, leakage, etc. These issues not only affect the aesthetics and comfort of the home, but also pose a potential threat to the safety of the home.
At the end: Do you feel comfortable living in the upper floor? Feel free to share your experience and discuss it together!
