Close to human nature

Achieving balance between body, mind and soul is the first key to health, and balance comes from a non-toxic space. Non-toxic decoration materials and natural materials are used throughout the room. Large-scale olive green stone is used on the exterior walls to give the building a grand and stable appearance. Impression, the simple clear water mold exterior wall and wood grain grille reflect a dialogue relationship between thickness and lightness, isolation and transparency, fixedness and elasticity, creating a distant artistic conception of Zen interest.

Accompanied by a linear wooden grille, it is like a square curtain with alternating virtual and solid lines. The lines of light and shadow diffuse from different angles, making good use of sunlight to improve energy-saving efficiency. The internal vertical lines are staggered with the solid wood pieces of different shades, and the wooden furniture gives a warm and calm feeling. , retaining the penetrability of the space, creating a restrained and calm oriental atmosphere, revealing an extraordinary texture.

respond naturally

In the atrium, which is hidden in the city, the water wall and landscaping are where the owners put a lot of thought into it. The green pine trees that they have been looking for for a long time have given this yard a mission to settle down!

Starting from the configuration, the L-shaped building volume is placed on the long base, and the living space develops around the atrium, setting a comfortable tone for life; the embellishment of water walls and landscaping are achieved through the configuration of solid and virtual bodies. Harmony and balance create a peaceful and relaxing space. Sunlight, greenery and floral fragrance, nature powerfully embraces the residents. The quiet and dynamic visual scenery reflects the vitality everywhere.

[Self-built dream house] The "double-layer design" of the water-molded building that can breathe is more beautiful and energy-saving!

The "green building" trend that has been launched in recent years has infused the concepts of environmental protection, energy saving, and symbiosis into the modern, simple, functional architectural style! Water-molded buildings are also part of the new green building trend, with unique The one-piece cement concrete forming method - the mold is completed as soon as it is opened, which reduces the consumption of decoration and materials and conforms to the principle of environmental protection. It is not only strong and durable, but also reveals the structural beauty of the craftsman's craftsmanship, creates a low-key and calm personality expression of the building, and can also reduce energy consumption!

Zuyuanju, a clear water mold building located in Beidou, is an old house carrying rich memories.

▲Photo before design of Zuyuanju: B-STUDIO

After being demolished and rebuilt, it was transformed into a family gathering place for three generations. The key to its inheritance comes from the design that can withstand the test of time. Through the clear water molding method, its strong and durable characteristics, pure materials and textures, it shows the structural beauty of craftsmanship. The top floor wall design retains the original three-heyuan wall, as if all the memories of the past are embedded in the wall one by one. A powerful feeling about the space is left in the minds of the residents.

Fair faced concrete environmentally friendly material

Fair-faced concrete refers to the precise grouting of concrete by craftsmen, and the placement of special texture formwork such as wood grain formwork and fine plywood formwork. It is completed after the formwork is completed and dismantled. It presents the original natural texture of concrete and is also an expression of the craftsmanship of the craftsmen. Due to the characteristics of being completed as soon as the mold is opened, these walls do not require too many decoration and construction processes, and the decoration of indoor wall materials can be omitted, which reduces construction waste and is more environmentally friendly.

Special double layer energy savingshell

The climatic conditions of the site are hot in summer and cold in winter, and the hinterland is vast. The long and narrow building area is large. Through a unique special double-layer wall system, natural ventilation and lighting quality are created without isolating the expression and appearance of the building wall. The air flow is composed of inner layer, outer layer and middle air sandwich. The outer layer of clear water molded wall plays the role of noise prevention, sunshade and heat insulation. The light is transparent and has privacy, so as to achieve the design method of reducing air conditioning energy consumption and saving energy, creating Comfortable living experience.

▲Design: B-STUDIO Qingshuifu

Instead of the traditional model of treating the exterior wall as a "static barrier", the air layer in the middle of the double-layer wall uses natural ventilation to dissipate heat and reduce direct heat.

▲Design: B-STUDIO Qingshuifu

ventilation performance

The building is made of fair-faced concrete walls and aluminum grilles, which can improve ventilation, block strong winds, and have thermal insulation properties. The wide courtyard improves ventilation conditions, and the layout of indoor open spaces improves the air circulation in the indoor space.

▲Design: B-STUDIO Qingshuifu

Lighting energy saving

The design positions of floor-to-ceiling windows and skylights bring sunlight and outdoor scenery indoors, which can reduce indoor lighting needs. Through sunlight and time, the fair-faced concrete building produces airflow, light and shadow, giving people a sense of the gradual flow of time. The surface of the building incorporates the rice grain shape that symbolizes family inheritance. It transmits light during the day without dazzling the eyes, and has a light source effect like a firefly at night. The contrasting characteristics of building materials, combined with glass and steel, enhance the light, texture and temperature in the building, creating a full of light and shadow. Room for change.

▲Design: B-STUDIO Qingshuifu

The simple, logical design of the building structure reduces construction waste, energy consumption and carbon dioxide. The plain walls highlight the specific tranquility and delicate texture unique to concrete, illustrating the minimalist aesthetics of Zen Buddhism. Stylish wooden grilles reinforce the rhythm of the design, paired with solid wood panels to create an impression of simplicity and purity with inherent soothing elements hidden in the woods.

The natural texture style of wooden elements contrasts with the cold-toned concrete, and the visual contrast makes the space warmer. As a result, the house comes alive and it brings a soothing energy unique to the home.

The clear water mold shows the original texture of concrete, and the quiet and pure beauty is eye-catching!

[Self-built dream house] The location of the dining and kitchen area is designed in this way to break the monotony! Create a dining environment beyond imagination!

The dining and kitchen area is the core area for families to dine and chat together! It’s not just about the selection of kitchen utensils. Through architectural design, the dining and kitchen space is not only practical, but can also be connected to the living room without interfering with each other. It can also provide a spacious space experience that changes with the seasons! Let’s take a look at the combination of style and function. Modern kitchen design concepts create a completely new space!

tandem space– Connecting the restaurant and guest areas without interfering with their respective spaces

The dining room and the living room are adjacent, but instead of using high walls or doors as partitions, the two areas are cleverly divided through a half-wall design. Through this design that penetrates the dividing wall, family members can interact or not interact at a comfortable distance.

Split-level design-a spacious new space experience

The staggered level of the stairs is used to separate the kitchen from the living room and dining room. While each area is independent, it still maintains a sense of spatial coherence. The separation from the living room to the courtyard can also be designed to sink slightly to form a natural transition edge. Double the benches in the courtyard to comfortably dine and chat. The change in height difference can be used to create a spacious new space for the house. experience.

with windowReplace the wall - fully capture the beautiful scenery outside the window

By using transparent glass instead of solid walls to connect spaces, the transparency of the glass weakens the difference between the inside and the outside. Standing in the kitchen, you can look out at the beautiful scenery outside the window, which makes the line of sight unobstructed, provides ample natural lighting, increases air circulation, and is also natural. The ground enhances the sense of intimacy between areas.

andTerracezerodistanceKitchen - as neededByA space with changing seasons

The edge of the terrace surrounds the kitchen, and the open design increases the connection with nature. To make cooking and dining both convenient and comfortable, transparent glass is used as a material to connect the surrounding space, so that the boundaries between spaces disappear and the field of vision is broader. The unique position of the kitchen also allows the space to change with the seasons.

Rooftop Picnic - Break the monotony of everyday life

In addition to eating in restaurants every day, sometimes I also want to spend quality time on the rooftop, especially when the epidemic is not over yet, where I can get a pleasant break from daily work. If you install faucets and barbecue equipment on the rooftop, you can have a small picnic on the rooftop, or relax and enjoy a wonderful home-cooked dinner. You can even leisurely enjoy family time playing in the pool or having a barbecue.

[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.

[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.

[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!

Want to build your dream home
Considering that it is located next to the ancient ruins of the Lin Clan Ancestral Temple, the building should remain low-key rather than stand out.

Building exterior design:

Configuration

The building configuration corresponds to the sunlight and landscape, leaving the driveway and courtyard to the west and north to form a stable structure of a cube. The main body of the clear water mold combined with the steel grille forms a volumetric dialogue between one virtual and one solid, and blocks the western sun, provides a comfortable outdoor activity space, and achieves the effect of ventilation, shading and framing the scenery.

▲ Japanese simple clear water mold building_Taichung Fu Zhai design case (picture source B-STUDIO architecture and interior integrated design)

Material

Facing the red brick building of Lin's Ancestral Temple, which is a Minnan quadrangle with exquisite craftsmanship, the low-key and precise modern water molding method is used to show the spirit of modern craftsmen.

▲ Japanese simple clear water mold building_Taichung Fu Zhai design case (picture source B-STUDIO architecture and interior integrated design)

Open your mouth

Openings designed to correspond to the use of space present a humble architectural expression. 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.

▲ Japanese simple clear water mold building_Taichung Fu Zhai design case (picture source B-STUDIO architecture and interior integrated design)

landscape

Green yards, terraces, window sills, and skylights in the city provide a dialogue between light and greenery.

▲ Japanese simple clear water mold building_Taichung Fu Zhai design case (picture source B-STUDIO architecture and interior integrated design)

Interior design

flat

The main plane structure is square, with one function on each floor. A well-lit stairwell connects the spaces on each floor. B1 and 1F are public spaces, 2F is a children's room, an open reading area and a large terrace, and 3F is the main space. Bedroom living space, the top floor is a multi-functional space and activity terrace.

Material

The unpretentious clear water mold is used as the keynote of the space texture, supplemented by Vietnamese cypress bookcases and smoked oak flooring as the natural texture in the space.

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.

▲ Japanese simple clear water mold building_Taichung Fu Zhai design case (picture source B-STUDIO architecture and interior integrated design)

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).

However, the process of self-building is complicated and not easy to plan. To this end, this article has compiled the precautions, advantages and processes of buying land and self-building to help you plan for self-building and build your ideal new home.

What is self-build? Before building your own house, you should pay attention to 2 key points

To put it simply, self-build means using your own land to build a house according to your own ideas. Compared with buying an existing house or apartment, you have a higher degree of freedom in construction and interior design, making it easier to build your ideal house. . But before starting to build on your own, there are two key points that you must pay attention to:

Self-build inspection 1: Confirm land type:

Can I build a house on my land? Before obtaining suitable land, in addition to finding a reliable land agent to handle the transfer process, it is also best to ask a qualified architect to conduct an assessment and investigation before confirming the purchase. Clarify:

Is the base within a prohibited or restricted area?
Is it a hilly area or geologically sensitive area?
Is there any adjacent building line or abnormal ground?
Have the five surrounding pipeline systems been completed?

Base conditions like these will affect whether you can obtain a building permit and subsequent construction funds in the future. If there are existing houses on the site, you should also pay attention to whether there are encroachments by neighboring houses or common walls to avoid violating regulations.

Home Build Check 2: Understand Building Restrictions:

How can I build a house? Depending on the area where the base is located, the way of architectural planning and design also changes. For example:

How much area can be covered based on the local floor area ratio and building coverage ratio?
Are there any height or building setback restrictions?
Are there any restrictions on the appearance or style of buildings in special areas?
Are there any NIMBY facilities in the immediate area?

etc. will affect future architectural design content. It is recommended to first engage a qualified architect to work witharchitecture officeto learn relevant information.

If you build your own property on site, should you contract it yourself, or should you choose a turnkey contractor?

	Deliver the package yourself	Builder turnkey
advantage	More freedom in choosing raw materials and manufacturers Lower overall cost	Lower burden on homeowners Raw materials are cheaper based on quantity The builder is responsible for the construction results
shortcoming	Homeowners bear greater burden You are responsible for your own construction results	Overall cost is higher The manufacturer selection needs to cooperate with the builder

In summary, the threshold for self-contracting is high. If the homeowner does not have an engineering background, it is not recommended to choose self-contracting to avoid risks such as project delays, poor construction, or even failure to meet regulatory standards, which will incur more costs.

Advantages of self-building | What are the benefits of self-building a house?

Benefit 1: Customization to build your dream house

The biggest advantage of self-building is complete customization. The architectural appearance, layout, interior design and other items can be planned completely according to your own preferences. You can even give each room a unique style to create the house of your dreams. . For example, if you are a sports enthusiast, you can directly plan the sports space; those who like cooking can increase the kitchen area and build a personalized kitchen according to your habits, without being limited to the layout and pipeline arrangement of the existing house.

In addition, since the conditions of each site are different, self-construction can be customized according to individual needs and the conditions of the site. It can also integrate the sunlight and Feng Shui characteristics of the site to improve indoor light and air convection. Take it all into account and build a home that everyone is happy with.

Benefit 2: Construction costs can be controlled by oneself

In addition, you can fully control the construction costs yourself, eliminating the layers of exploitation that occur when purchasing a house from a builder (builder's profits, advertising costs, agency commissions, etc.). Because the architectural design is planned according to your own needs, not only can you have more choices in structural types, but other building materials and equipment can also be planned according to personal preferences and budget. Spending the budget on the cutting edge will make the overall use of funds more flexible!

Detailed list of self-built costs and expenses

Construction cost components	Total cost ratio
land cost	50～70%
construction cost	20～25%
Management and marketing costs, advertising fees	10～15%
Builder's profit	20～30%

Land cost: accounts for the largest proportion of construction costs, taking into account the purchase price of the land, as well as the legal floor area ratio and built-in coverage ratio of the land.
Construction cost: related to construction type and construction method. The fastest estimation method is to use the nearby house prices of "same building materials and the same type" x 20~25%. If the nearby area is about 800,000 yuan/square meter, the construction cost will be 800,000 yuan x 20~25%, which is about 160,000 to 200,000 yuan/square meter.

How to build your own house? Understand the 5 steps to buy land and build your own

After understanding the precautions and advantages of self-build on land, we will sort out the 6 steps for buying land and self-build. As long as you plan well, you can easily handle the complicated self-build process.

Take our B-STUDIO construction process as an example,It is recommended that if you have the idea of building a house, you should consult with an architect from the beginning.Because in terms of architecture, in addition to external style and indoor layout, there are many possibilitiesHidden regulatory restrictions such as land regulations and building regulations that are less understood by the general public.Construction methods and materials will also have an impact on the function, earthquake resistance, and even appearance of the house.

Therefore, it is recommended to bring the building base information, favorite building examples, styles, etc.directDiscuss with the architect so that the architect can give suggestions based on experience! The following is B-STUDIO’s construction processpicture:

Self-construction process 1: Communicate requirements and financial evaluation with designers

After going to the site with the design architect to investigate, understand the architect's views on the site environment. At the same time, let the architect understand the homeowner's imagination of future life. It is best to provide the architect with the style type or planning method he likes to facilitate the construction. Make design proposals. If the interior and architectural parts are designed by different people, the interior designer should also be included in the discussion to establish a good communication model among the three parties.

Self-build process 2: Building and site assessment

Taiwan has many regulations and restrictions on the use of land. It does not mean that you can build a house just by having land. The floor area ratio and building coverage rate of land types regulated by different counties and cities will also be different. It is best to ask the architect to assist in checking and confirming in advance. In addition, before building planning, it is also recommended to apply for "land boundary identification" to avoid future disputes about building on neighboring land. You also need to apply for "building lines" before construction. You can consult the architect for these.

Self-built process 3: Complete design drawings

After many discussions and confirmations, the architect will draw the space the homeowner wants into an architectural design. The architect then compiles the drawings and other necessary documents and applies for a construction license from the construction management authority. After obtaining the construction license, you can draw construction contract drawings and prepare project budgets.

Self-construction process 4: Construction project (contracting, supervision, project management)

After signing a contract with a qualified and reputable construction factory, you can enter the construction project stage, including foundation excavation, steel bar binding, formwork, grouting and other processes, and gradually complete the structure. At this stage, the architect will perform the task of supervising the construction and ensuring the quality of the project.

Self-built process 5: Interior decoration

As the construction work progressed, the interior design drawings became more and more complete. After the structure is completed to a certain extent, interior decoration and major equipment such as elevators or air conditioning projects also begin. Because the interior decoration needs have been integrated during the architectural design stage, unnecessary demolition or repeated construction is avoided, saving construction time and costs.

Self-built process 6: House acceptance and handover

After the construction project is completed and the usage license is obtained, the project acceptance phase can be carried out and the house is handed over. At this time, an architect or a third-party impartial unit can be entrusted to assist the homeowner in the 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.

From the above process, we can know that in the process of self-construction, architects, engineering teams and interior designers need to work closely together to make the entire construction project go smoothly. Therefore it is best to chooseA team that combines interior design and architecture expertise, communication is easier.

In addition, choosing to self-build means that the house planning can be carried out according to the owner's ideas from the beginning. Therefore, it is recommended that when choosing a design architect,Priority will be given to architects with extensive experience in interior design.This allows the architectural design to convey the needs of the homeowner while also integrating the indoor and outdoor spaces of the building more harmoniously.
