Is the city on the hot search for building facades that are too ugly? Netizen: No money is by no means an ugly reason

VIA:Pinterest

Recently I saw such a news article, which reads "How to end the era of "ugly judgment" in Kunming high-rise housing?" 》。

I thought to myself, it's 2022, is there still such a dirty and ugly building? When I clicked in, it turned out that there was a really yellow façade that stabbed me in the eye.

Why did this kind of "tulou" suddenly appear? Originally, in 2014, the Kunming Municipal Planning Bureau issued the "Kunming Urban Building Color Control Guidelines (Trial)" notice, requiring the main color of the newly built residential façade to be light yellow, which is why there is such a spectacular "tulou".

How did this "special" provision come about? Let's take a look.

Dirt ugly dirt ugly to save money?

It's actually about cost. In recent years, most of the new projects in Kunming City are urban reform projects, similar to this kind of project with large upfront investment and less profit margins, which is simply forced to kill Party A.

In the face of such a small-margin project, the first thing they have to do is of course to save money. So how to save, where is the province? First of all, the structure must not be provincial, in case the residents live in the building collapses, this can not bear the responsibility.

Since the structure is not good, what about the façade? For example, in terms of materials.... Let's first look at the current quotation of materials:

It seems that it is really advantageous to "paint", then it is decided that it is you - paint the exterior wall. So such a large area of earth-yellow buildings appeared.

To add here, in 2019, Kunming city abolished the control of the color of the building façade, and no longer advocates the use of dark gray or earth yellow as the main color of the building. But even with the relaxation of restrictions, the housing in the past two years has not been well improved.

Low-cost facades can only be painted?

Of course not! What age are you, and do you still want to use this reason to fool through? Do you look at people's greentown and Shimao, is the cost high? Did you use paint?

Take a good look at how people save costs, mainly from 3 aspects:

De-stylize

The first is to simplify the complex, don't always think about what Artdeco, neoclassical to reflect the sense of dignity. If you think about it, buying a house now is basically after the 80s and 90s, and rarely pursues this luxury style. The simpler the element, the better.

What innovations can be made in design?

· The design of the rounded curve can refer to the shape of the Apple mobile phone;

· Adopt a streamlined architectural form;

· The use of borderless design, a little simpler, you can even use a large number of glass windows, window frames are getting thinner and thinner;

· The use of frosty wind color, to the same color or light elegant color system, emphasizing the sense of high-grade.

Material selection

A good-looking façade doesn't have to be piled up with money. Materials at ordinary prices still produce results.

· By "changing the surface into a line" to deal with the color difference of cheap stone, for some stones with large color difference, some texture elements can be added to promote the strengths and avoid the shortcomings.

· Using a variety of material combinations, the following combinations can be used:

Aluminum plate + glass

Material

At present, many mansions use a large area of aluminum alloy + glass to replace the original dry hanging stone.

Ceramic plate + aluminum plate

The effect of the ceramic plate is actually good, and it also has the properties of heat preservation, heat insulation, self-cleaning, corrosion resistance and so on.

Energy-saving decorative integrated panel

Energy-saving decorative integrated board mainly includes metal insulation integrated board (aluminum plate, aluminum-plated zinc steel plate), calcium silicate plate insulation integrated board, etc.

Imitation stone paint

Compared with traditional coatings, real stone paints and other products, imitation stone coatings are more textured and have a longer service life.

Start optimizing by design

This is not to say that the design is too strong, but the focus needs to be on the most sensitive places for the customer.

For example, they pay more attention to the façade, doors and windows, balconies, railings, as well as project bases, roofs, etc. To achieve cost tilting, the place that should be in place must be in place, and the requirements can be appropriately reduced elsewhere. (to be within the scope of the specification)

In addition, there are entrances, doors and windows, which are places that highlight the identity and need to ensure the effect.
