There are basically only two types of houses to choose from when we go to buy a house now, one is the horizontal hall type and the other is the vertical hall house type. Both types of apartments are the mainstream units, and more and more people are choosing the horizontal hall type type.
When I first bought the house, I originally planned to buy a vertical hall type, but after visiting the model house of the horizontal hall type, I decisively chose the horizontal hall type. Now that I've been living in it for a year, I'm going to talk to you about the advantages and disadvantages of the horizontal hall layout.
Advantages of the horizontal hall type
First, it looks good after decoration
It's no wonder that the "horizontal hall" is so popular, because it is beautiful in any outfit. The horizontal hall is different from the ordinary house, and the large horizontal hall will give people a sense of openness, and it will look good if it is decorated a little.
I think the house in Heng Hall looks good after the decoration, it looks fashionable and luxurious, high-end atmosphere and grade, relatives and friends come to say that my house is like a mansion.
Second, good lighting
The design of the horizontal hall can maximize the use of natural light, and there is a long balcony on one side, so the view and lighting are very good, and the large lighting surface makes the whole space brighter, and can also increase the indoor lighting effect.
My horizontal hall, any place is bright, including two toilets, it can be said that the lighting of the horizontal hall is really invincible.
3. North-south transparency
The horizontal hall can be transparent from north to south, with a balcony in the south and a room and kitchen in the north.
There is a south-facing window next to my dining room, and the dining room and living room form a north-south permeable convection, and in the summer, it is very comfortable for the wind to blow in.
Fourth, the space utilization rate is high
There is no corridor in the horizontal hall, and the corridor and living room are integrated, so as to avoid wasting space and improve space utilization. We can freely arrange various functional areas in the horizontal hall, such as fitness area and office area.
Disadvantages of the horizontal hall type
1. The sofa is not against the wall
I can't put a sofa against the wall in the horizontal hall, which makes me feel a little unaccustomed. There is no backing, no down-to-earth, no sense of security, especially girls may be afraid of watching TV by themselves at night. And if the sofa is not against the wall, it is easy to move.
Second, the price is expensive
In the same community, houses with horizontal halls are generally more expensive than houses with vertical halls, and the horizontal halls are generally larger, so the total price will be higher. There are many people who like the Yokoban, but they can't afford it because of the high price.
epilogue
Some people will ask if they can buy a house with a "horizontal hall"? Combined with my actual feelings, I think that a house with a horizontal hall can still be bought, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, but you must buy an area of more than 150 square meters to live comfortably.
I bought a horizontal hall once, and I never wanted to buy a vertical hall again. The lighting, permeability and comfort of the horizontal hall are really incomparable to the vertical hall.
