[Build your own dream house on your own land] The traditional long and narrow site, no matter how small the land area is, can make the house spacious and bright with careful planning!

Commonly found in cities are narrow sites and long and narrow bases with small square footage and insufficient depth. How can we overcome the limitations of the base and display its characteristics? Located in the overcrowded Tokyo of Japan, there are many small but beautiful and functional self-built buildings. Now, all over the world are making good use of bases to build innovative self-built micro buildings! See how designers use careful planning Break through the limit of small square footage and maximize every inch of your base!

indoor courtyard

On a narrow site, if you still want to feel the breath of nature, you can design a high-ceiling space in the middle of the house to create a semi-open courtyard. The eaves above the courtyard mean that you can still rest and move here in any weather, satisfying the needs of the house. The Lord’s desire to live in a green space.

capture natural light

The building ridges between the buildings are shaded and can still capture the sunlight from the south through the planned stair space on the north side of the building, reflecting, diffusing and diffracting natural light to other spaces. Wooden slats can be used as stairs and partitions, which not only ensures a broad view and natural light, but also provides uninterrupted air flow.

Patio

The vertical extension of the patio helps maximize the desired spatial quality and conditions while inspiring a sense of openness and connection to nature as it opens to the sky. The patio located in the center of the building, combined with the grid glass on the facade, provides sufficient lighting and ventilation for several floors, and is planted with abundant plants to create a comfortable and cozy atmosphere.

skylight

The long, narrow and small base has insufficient natural light. The room used by one person has limited natural light, while the space where people gather is much brighter. Multiple skylights can be placed to reflect, diffuse and diffract the walls with natural light to form a spatial focus and Enlarge the space with transparent perspective technology.

open indoor terrace

Interior terraces open to the street, mid-block and sky above, producing an architecture that is both monolithic and transparent. It also provides green landscapes on the front and sides of the building to create an unusual spatial experience.

The supporting steel structure is hidden within the building structure

In order to achieve a simple space, the space uses pure white ceilings and walls as the space frame. There are no shapes on the walls. All new supporting steel structures are completely hidden within the thickness of the building structure to maximize the sense of spaciousness. Multifunctional wooden "boxes" are inserted into the large open space to serve as the main storage space.

highProportion

The height of each floor can be adjusted according to the number of users and the usage of the room. Children's bedrooms and storage rooms are 1.3m to 1.7m high, and the average ceiling height of most rooms, including public areas and master bedrooms, is 3m to 4.4m high.

end view of space

Due to the narrow site, there is not enough space for a garden. It is recommended to set up a small internal garden at the end of the first floor space. The upper part of the garden is designed to be light-transmitting and ventilated, allowing good lighting in the morning and a slight cooling effect in summer. . The series of landscapes formed by these gaps and gaps are combined with the Japanese concept of forest bathing, where immersion in nature allows the body and mind to completely relax.

multifunctional space

The long and narrow building increases the efficiency of the ground space by overlapping multi-functional uses. The atrium is used as a writing space, and the corridor is used as a garden. The space is designed to be a functional, free and flexible multi-functional space.

[Know in advance when building on your own land] Building a new house for the first time! 10 must-read FAQs/key points to note! Avoid crazy disputes

Building a new house is a dream that many people pursue throughout their lives! However, for ordinary families, they don’t know much about decoration and interior design, let alone self-build which involves many aspects! Therefore, it is very important to be fully prepared before starting to build your dream house. Here are 10 of the most common questions and things that need to be paid attention to before, during and after self-build, so that you can avoid letting others know. Crazy disputes, living in your dream home, let’s take a quick look at it!

1What kind of teams does self-construction usually include?

It can be roughly divided into categories of consultants and contractors. You must hire suitable consultants (architects, interior design companies, etc.), experienced construction companies, construction companies, and knowledgeable consultants! Below are the teams covered in each category

consultant	contractor
architect	What-if project
interior designer	Demolition
structural engineer	scaffolding project
civil engineer	Conservation and Cleaning Projects
vastu consultant	Hydropower project
MEP consultants, including lighting consultants	Mud work
Municipal/local authority approval Prospective Liaison Architect/Engineer	Structural Engineering
landscape architect	Styling Metal Engineering
	Exterior wall engineering
	Aluminum window project
	glass engineering
	Lighting engineering
	Crane engineering
	Wood floor project Landscape engineering Elevator engineering

2How to find the best architects, construction companies, interior design companies, and construction companies?

Choosing a good manufacturer is a huge factor in the success of self-build, but only after you have a clear understanding of what you want in your renovation. You need to specify exactly what you want, and then find the most suitable contractor for your project. Especially for water-formed buildings, because construction is difficult, you need to find an architect with relevant design experience to make the construction process easier and more rewarding. Best results.

3. Can I outsource the contract by myself, find a turnkey contractor or engineering class, and build it myself?

You need to plan the entire process from the beginning because there are so many parts involved in home building, and the sooner you make the decision, the sooner you can order materials and schedule. This can prevent product shortages or unprofessional work shifts from occurring during the process, which will cause you a lot of stress, problems, and delays. The advantage of handing it over to a design and construction company or contractor is that all planning is done The project is planned for you at the beginning, and you can also put forward your ideas and participate in discussions during the process.

4. There are many self-built projects, how should I control the budget?

The most important thing is to decide what your "needs" are, based on your budget, lifestyle, culture, etc. When preparing your budget, you should ask a consultant about the "base" cost of a basic renovation project. You may be stuck in wanting to choose more. For the idea of a cheap contractor, if you get an estimate that is significantly lower than industry standards, it is likely that the work will not be progressed properly and there will often be additional work and expense if another trades team is hired to complete the work that has been started! When preparing the budget, set a reasonable budget for each project, reserve subsequent expenses for furniture, interior decoration, electrical appliances, tableware, bed sheets and other household items, legal documents, etc., and reserve 10% to 20% in the total budget as a reserve fund , in order to better control costs.

5 I have found suitable products and materials and want to order them myself. Can I do that?

You may inquire about products that you think are more suitable or more favorable than those provided by construction companies and design companies, but you may not be able to confirm the quality, size, suitability, or insufficient supply before ordering. Causing delays and increased costs. A professional design and construction company with long-term cooperation and trustworthy suppliers can help you choose appropriate and high-quality materials and products, install them smoothly, and provide subsequent warranty.

6. What are the processes and sequences for self-built design?

According to the order of priority, decide the design of each step, elevation, 3D drawing ➔ columns ➜ location of load-bearing walls ➜ location and size of doors and windows ➜ space layout ➜ furniture layout ➜ electrical points ➜ toilet location ➜ materials ➜ decoration, combine all the above The design projects are coordinated and completed before construction proceeds.

7How should I choose the color scheme for my space?

When you finalize the plans and elevations, you also need to decide on the color palette, such as the color of the floors, doors, windows, roof, bathroom fixtures, wall tiles, etc. It is recommended that you choose from your favorite materials, such as marble, vitrified tiles, wooden tiles, etc., to help you further decide on the color of the floor, as well as comprehensively think about, design and plan the color coordination of the entire room.

At the same time, you can also refer to the neutral-toned Wabi Sabi style that design masters still love, showing a natural style and creating a comfortable living experience: [WABI SABI wabi-sabi style] Recommended colors for home color trends, a comfortable and textured atmosphere not to be missed!

8Can I make changes to the design after construction has started?

First confirm and complete all planning processes before starting on-site construction. Once finalized, try to avoid any revisions or changes to the plan, which will delay the construction period and increase work costs. The original design plan is a decision made after long-term thinking and discussion between you and the architect.

9How to coordinate the various units? Confirm if your architect and interior designer are the same or different?

If your design and construction teams are different and there is no middleman to coordinate, it will often happen that the structure is modified only after it is completed. The same is true for different types of work. If there is no person responsible for integration, it is easy to inadvertently delay the project. Therefore, in Before the project starts, it is best to hire an engineer or an experienced project supervisor to help determine the scope and schedule of the work in detail with the contractor, and to assist in taking on the important responsibility of advancing the project progress.

10How to ensure that the self-built construction is smooth and of high quality?

Self-build, which is fully undertaken by yourself, may not necessarily be able to completely build a dream home that meets your imagination. The design and construction company has rich experience and can help you with complete planning at the beginning of construction, from design to decoration and supervision. At every step, there is no need to worry about any details being overlooked. We will also contact you regularly about the current process to ensure that everything is going according to plan and help you easily realize your dream home.

[Wood Grain Water Mold Architecture] The unique expressive power of board concrete! Create a clear water mold style that is popular around the world

Whether leaving the mark of rough slats or smooth slats, slab concrete provides a unique surface that can form a space or structure. Architects use this technique to inject character, depth, warmth and texture into their projects. The following buildings are water-cast buildings with the beauty of wood texture!

Hawthorn House light arched structure

Hawthorn House is housed within two striking concrete envelopes that peel upward at each boundary to create a clear connection with the landscape and inject unexpected lightness into the design. The cast-in-place concrete is made from rough-hewn Oregon planks for a textured appearance, and the timber framing was recycled into the perimeter fencing of the site, where it will develop a gray patina over time to match the concrete structure, aging gracefully. As the interior was completed, the concrete sheathing was contextualized to become a shell that protectively encapsulates the interior living spaces. Although the house's two concrete pavilions appear windowless from a distance, the facade around the ground floor peels back to reveal Arched incisions that form continuous glass walls promote the design’s extraordinary openness, infusing these seemingly enclosed spaces with natural light and lightness.

[Self-built dream house] The design, self-build process and cost of the 104-square-meter clear water model villa are disclosed!

The owner and his wife considered that the home space was not enough to cope with the growth of their children, so they decided to demolish the old house and build their dream home. They designed the space from the inside out. Since the site is located in a quaint old street, the architect used clear water mold materials to build it. The low-key and textured Tuotian Villa forms a dialogue between tradition and modernity with the Lin's Ancestral Temple, a third-level historic site to the north. The internal planning echoes the simple texture of clear water molding. It is a design case worthy of reference in self-construction and provides positive considerations. If you build it yourself, please refer to the design style, process and cost!

Considering the use of space, large windows are used in the public space to face the window view for ventilation and lighting; but small openings are used in the private space to achieve the effect of framing the city view.

Basic information on clear water mold construction cases

Design time: 6 months
Construction time: 2 years and 3 months
Project cost: about 200,000 yuan/square meter (the cost increases year by year due to the increase in raw materials, and the actual consultation price should be based on the actual consultation price)

Self-built process

1 Communicate requirements with designers

You can put together your favorite design style, number of bedrooms, layout and other needs in advance to decide which construction route to choose. For example, the owner of this case considers that the site is surrounded by traditional southern Fujian two-hall style buildings and wants to maintain the pleasant and tranquil life. The scent coincides with the Japanese aesthetics he admires - wabi-sabi, the concept of perfection that accepts imperfection. In addition, your preliminary budget for architectural design, interior design, decoration, and construction can also be considered to facilitate the architect's design proposal.

2 Complete the design drawings

Therefore, the house is located in a laneway. The architect specially designed the lighting position on three sides to correspond to the sunshine and the landscape. The building materials were originally based on the owner's original idea of stone wall building materials. After many discussions and the architect's professional advice, they were changed to match the original idea of the owner. The cost of building the stone wall was only one million yuan away from the budget. After the owner confirmed the design drawings, the architect compiled the drawings and other necessary documents and applied for a construction license from the construction management authority.

3 Construction projects

After signing a contract with a qualified and reputable construction factory, you can enter the construction project stage. Due to the complex construction techniques and numerous construction procedures, water formwork construction relies heavily on the skills of craftsmen. The construction process includes customized cutting and processing of templates by the template factory. Processes such as formwork assembly, grouting, vibrator tamping, gap filling, and formwork removal gradually complete the structure. At this stage, the architect will perform the task of supervising the construction to ensure the quality of the project.

4 interior decoration

In this case, the design company is deeply engaged in integrated design of architecture and interior, so the interior decoration needs have been integrated during the architectural design stage to save construction time. The design of the home space complements the architectural design. Elegant accessories in earth tones are chosen to be laid out and integrated with the architecture. The intersection reflects a light and transparent image, connecting family emotions.

5. House acceptance and delivery

After obtaining the usage license, you can entrust an architect or a third-party impartial unit to assist the homeowner in acceptance inspection. After all deficiencies have been corrected and the construction factory delivers relevant documents and as-built drawings, handover and property rights registration will be processed.

The clear water mold building materials show the original quality of concrete. If you want to have your own clear water mold building and achieve a high-quality retirement life, you only need a base area of about 50 square meters and a construction time of about 2 years (excluding the time to apply for a construction license).
