ANALYSIS OF RENOVATION CASES OF MULTI-UNIT HOUSING PUBLISHED IN ARCHITECTURE MAGAZINES AND OTHER MEDIA

This paper analyzes renovated multi-unit housing published in architecture magazines and other media, including apartment complexes, condominiums, and apartments, focusing on changes in room layout, area, water sections, plan types, and doors. Data were collected from 372 cases through plan analyses and interviews. Results show 78.2% of cases reduced bedrooms, with LDK areas increased by 10 m² on average. Additional spaces (e.g., walk-in closets) accounted for 79% of cases. Access to water sections, like baths and toilets, increased by 119 cases. Hall-type layouts increased, replacing cul-de-sac layouts, and met modern needs for family interaction.

Abstract

This paper analyzes renovated multi-unit housing published in architecture magazines and other media, including apartment complexes, condominiums, and apartments, focusing on changes in room layout, area, water sections, plan types, and doors. Data were collected from 372 cases through plan analyses and interviews. Results show 78.2% of cases reduced bedrooms, with LDK areas increased by 10 m² on average. Additional spaces (e.g., walk-in closets) accounted for 79% of cases. Access to water sections, like baths and toilets, increased by 119 cases. Hall-type layouts increased, replacing cul-de-sac layouts, and met modern needs for family interaction.
