Over time, a professional realtor ceases to be surprised at the questions of his clients. In fact, many people do not understand the series of houses, floor plans, area standards and much more. And often they ask: "What are adjacent rooms?"
Rational layout
Among the many characteristics of residential real estate, it is the layout that can significantly change its market value. The price of an apartment or house will be higher if the location of the premises is thought out, rational and meets all the needs of a modern person, there is a bedroom, a bathroom, a living room, a dining room in the form of a zone or a separate room. Adjoining, for example, the nursery and the hall are two separate rooms with one joint wall, in the middle of which there is a door.
Is it always about "Khrushchev"
The Soviet people still have negative associations regarding a similar arrangement of living rooms. Therefore, by selling or changing an apartment, he will try to find something “more modern”. She certainly will not consider Khrushchev as a variant - multi-story brick houses built under Khrushchev. In all their apartments, the rooms are adjacent or, as many say, "wagon" (from one to another). However, to their great surprise, they find all the same version of the location in the houses of other series:
- in three-room apartments of the Brezhnevka series - there is more footage, walls made of panels, which means cold houses with a separate bathroom;
- in two-room apartments of the Pentagon series - panel nine-story buildings;
- in the apartments of "Stalin" (a series of "full footage", built in the 30s) - with high ceilings, brick walls and spacious rooms.
Adjoining rooms are not found only in the "improved layout" series (121 and 141), as well as in special projects - multi-storey buildings built on an individual project, often elite, which occupy no more than 7% of the housing market.
How cosiness is created
Experts assure that the series of houses is not as important as its location, remoteness from large shops and stops, kindergartens and schools, like a clean entrance and friendly neighbors. But the main role in the choice is always played by the feeling of comfort inside the apartment. Therefore, you can make a sweet heart and hate from childhood "Khrushchev", and a new house, built on an individual project. Everything is dominated by details: paints, furniture, appliances, decorative accessories and a single style. Against the background of all this, it doesn’t matter at all whether the rooms are adjacent or each of them has a separate entrance.
In a modern way
Oddly enough, but in an individual project, the premises are often located so that you can move from one to another. It can be a large living room, on different sides of which are the parents' bedroom and children's rooms, as well as dad’s office, mother’s workshop. At the same time, the dining area can be located in the hall, and the kitchen itself can be skillfully hidden from prying eyes in a separate room. In apartment buildings, only two adjoining rooms in one apartment are more often found.
We save the situation by redevelopment
Thus, in contrast to the prevailing negative attitude towards the Khrushchevsky version of the layout, adjoining rooms never prevented the creation of comfort in the house. But ... you can always go to extremes: make a redevelopment, as did many owners who do not want to move.
For this, first of all, it will be necessary to coordinate the finished project with the technical inventory bureau, otherwise your redevelopment will be illegal. The same applies to private houses in the land sector of settlements. For cottages and houses in garden plots this rule does not apply. In their work, realtors often encounter a situation when they need to sell an apartment, and an illegal layout is made in it, which, of course, complicates the process. Moreover, current residents are not always aware of the changes made.
