Below are some of the Advantages and
Disadvantages of storey buildings
Advantages
- Extra height gives good view, distinct and clear view from surrounding structures unlike one floor bungalow that may have been covered with perimeter fence.
- The buildings are more visible from a distance to one floor bungalow
- Distinct separation of private area from public area. For a two storey duplex, the bedrooms are taken up while the living rooms that are accessible to visitors are left downstairs, this is good for privacy and less noise around the bedrooms.
- · Security-You can isolate the upper floor from the ground floor with a security door by the staircase in case of any attack. Burglars can’t easily access the upper floor through the windows. It also gives you a clear view of in case of any intruder lurking around the fence.
- · Interesting features - Storey buildings can be interesting, climbing through a well-designed staircase looking at the structure in whole can be quite pleasing to the eyes.
- · Better aeration- More space is created for effective air circulation as the upper floor create rooms for additional rooms and windows and are most unlikely to be blocked by adjacent walls/fence.
- · Optimization of space - You have more space for the same area of plot. This might mean you have a larger yard.
Disadvantages
- You need to get up the stairs. If you are old, tired, or drunk, this can be hard.
- You might fall down the stairs and injure yourself.
- Moving into or out of the house is harder, you have to get furniture up the stairs.
- People downstairs might be disturbed by banging on the floor upstairs.
- There is less flexibility in the use of your house. If one of the upstairs rooms was a better dining room, and one of the downstairs rooms was a better bedroom, this would be difficult. (Our living room is officially a bedroom, the dining room is an office, the living room is a dining room).
- If you have incandescent lightbulbs, they don't last as long when people walk above them.
