The cramped house
Characteristics:
Too small living space, limited visibility or being surrounded by high-rise buildings easily creates a feeling of stuffiness and suffocation. This not only affects comfort in daily life but also affects psychology, making residents easily stressed, reduced energy and difficulty concentrating on work. Some common forms include houses being "pinched" between high-rise buildings; too small usable area; or long, narrow spaces causing a feeling of confinement.
Solution:
With limitations from the surrounding environment, improvement is often not easy. However, you can reduce the feeling of crampedness by taking advantage of natural light, opening more windows (if possible), limiting unnecessary furniture and tidying up furniture. If conditions permit, moving to a more spacious living space will be the most effective solution.
The house lacks shelter on both sides
Characteristics:
Houses located in empty locations, without buildings or obstacles on both sides, are often easily exposed to direct impacts from the environment such as sun, wind, and dust. Inside the house, if living areas such as desks, chairs... are placed in too empty positions, users may also feel unsafe, difficult to concentrate, or easily distracted.
Solution:
It can be improved by planting green trees on both sides of the house to create balance and reduce environmental impact, while not hindering light. Inside, you should arrange more furniture, shelves, ornamental plants or wall paintings to make the space more harmonious and create a more solid feeling.
Too small facade or lobby
Characteristics:
The area in front of the house or the lobby that is too narrow will reduce ventilation and create a feeling of stuffiness right from the entrance. This not only affects aesthetics but also makes the space lack comfort, especially for houses combined with business or frequently having guests coming in and out.
Solution:
If the area is permitted, it is advisable to expand or optimize the area in front of the house to increase ventilation. In case the structure cannot be changed, solutions such as arranging large mirrors, using bright colors, and limiting obstacles can be used to create a more spacious feeling.
