While the living room of a tower mansion has charms such as view, lighting, and openness,
it also has constraints and characteristics different from general housing.
That is why in renovation,
it is important to think about "what to utilize and how to continue living" as well as "what to change".
Here, regarding living renovation unique to tower mansions,
we will organize the concept of construction period and points to keep in mind when planning.
Construction Period of Living Renovation
Guideline for standard construction period
In the case of renovation of only the living room,
the guideline for the construction period is approximately 1 month to 1.5 months.
However, in tower mansions, since there are:
- Material carry-in restrictions
- Work time zone regulations
- Common area usage rules
it is necessary to have a margin in the process compared to detached houses and low-rise apartments.
Depending on the content, there are cases where it becomes:
- Surface renovation of walls, floors, ceilings: Several days to 1 week
- Case involving renovation of entire interior or equipment change: 2 months or more
Factors influencing construction period
Scale / Content of Renovation
Depending on whether only finishing is changed or
wiring, plumbing, and substrate adjustment are involved, the construction period changes greatly.
Especially when modifying the substrate of walls and ceilings,
it is necessary to firmly secure the period of drying and curing.
Constraints unique to Tower Mansions
Generally, by management bylaws:
- Workable hours
- Restrictions on construction involving noise
- Carry-in method and flow line
are defined in detail.
If you proceed with the plan without grasping these in advance,
extension of construction period or rescheduling may be required.
Concept of Schedule Adjustment
Rather than aiming for "shortest" construction period,
planning to minimize impact on life is important.
- Adjustment with home time
- Necessity of temporary residence
- Family structure and life rhythm
By scheduling with a margin based on these,
it leads to renovation with less stress.
Points of Living Renovation
Clarify the purpose
Before starting renovation,
it is important to clarify "why you want to change the living room".
Child-rearing generation
- Layout overlooking the whole living room from the kitchen
- Creating a space where children can spend time safely
Couple / Married Couple Household
- Balance between shared space and private feeling
- Setup emphasizing calmness and high quality
Senior Life
- Flow line suppressing steps
- Creating a place to relax comfortably
Space to enjoy hobbies
- Study space
- Consideration for home theater and acoustics
The clearer the purpose,
the easier it is to judge material selection and layout.
How far can you imagine the "Life Time" after renovation?
When thinking about living room renovation,
many people imagine "beauty at the moment of completion" and "elation of new life".
Depending on that is very natural and important.
However, on the other hand, what I would like you to think about is
the perspective of how long regarding the future do you intend to live in that space.
Even if you are young, healthy, and active now,
people's way of living and sensitivity change little by little over time.
- Children grow up and eventually leave the nest
- Start to feel the quality of time spent at home more important
- Start to seek calmness and comfort rather than gaudiness
If you create a space based only on the impression immediately after completion,
a few years later, although the reason is not clear,
it may become a living room where you feel "somewhere not comfortable".
On the other hand, if you prioritize only the cost aspect
and make ends meet without sticking much to building materials and finishes,
it is also true that color and attachment to life are hard to be born.
For the living room, the moment of completion is not the goal.
It is ideal that the space also grows and wears dignity together with the years people walk.
When selecting materials from that perspective,
building materials that deepen taste over time have great meaning.
Italian plaster is one of the materials in line with such a way of thinking.
Expression not too uniform, shadows accepting light softly,
and texture that quietly adapts rather than becoming old over time.
Not only "now" after renovation, but
how you want to spend time in that space 5 years later, 10 years later.
By choosing materials with such a time axis,
the living room of the tower mansion grows into a deeper residence.
Concept of budget in Living Renovation of Tower Mansion
When setting a budget, it is important to first organize priorities.
- Interior enhancing the view
- Texture creation by material
- Improvement of flow line and storage
Without trying to fulfill everything at once,
by clarifying "where to place value",
convincing budget allocation becomes possible.
In meetings with contractors, by sharing:
- Desired finish
- Upper limit of budget
- Adjustable range
it becomes easier to drop into a realistic plan with few regrets.
