Two-story apartmentA two-story apartment was usually referred to as a LOFT apartment, with an area of 30 - 60 square meters and a floor height of 3.6 - 5.4 meters. Its sales are calculated based on the construction area, but the actual floor area used can reach 1.5 - 2 times the sales area. This kind of apartment had a tall, large, and varied space. The residents could design it according to their own preferences, allowing them to enjoy multi-level three-dimensional space and greater privacy in a limited space. However, if the LOFT floor was too high, it would affect the comfort of living, and the high floor height was restricted by the policy. At present, most loft products were basically maintained at a height of 4.5 meters. In terms of renovation and spatial layout, there were many plans:
- Space Function:
- The space could be divided into functional areas, such as the foyer, bathroom, kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom, and other functional areas. For example, some had a " three-entry " layout, placing the living room in the first area after the entrance, and then planning the kitchen area and the private bathing area in turn. The first and second areas were open to increase the sense of space.
- Using the height of the building to increase the area of the second floor as a bedroom. For a house with a height of nearly four meters, part of the height space could be used to plan the second floor. For example, the second floor with an area of about 14 square meters could be used as a bedroom. However, due to the height restriction, the function planning of the second floor was relatively simple. In addition to the basic bed and side table, it might only be able to place open shelves to store small items.
- For smaller apartments, the smaller space could be used as the sleeping area and the first floor as the main activity area.
- Style and details:
- There was a Northern European style, such as using pure white colors to ease the sense of crowding, with large floor-to-ceiling doors and windows to introduce natural light, and round mirrors to reflect light to enlarge the visual space; there was also an industrial style, such as red bricks and rough wood mixed together, with a sense of age in the white-based space, and the restaurant walls were in the form of red brick walls.
- Use light-colored tones to create a sense of warmth, such as using wood-colored floors, colorful cloth furniture, and then matching bright fabric sofas and cushions to add a rustic style. You can also add milky white doors and windows, hang the TV on the wall to save space, and place a small coffee table and bright high stool. The kitchen can be open and separated from the color of the wall. It can be equipped with embedded kitchen appliances to increase storage space, and use the space vacated by the kitchen and stairs as a storage room. The bathroom could use most of the white space and small square tiles to increase the warmth; the bedroom on the second floor could use the Japanese style, with wooden shutters and wooden floors echoing.
There were also many choices in terms of furniture and equipment configuration. For example, to solve the problem of drying clothes in the apartment, washing machines and dryers could be equipped; beds, wardrobes, sofas, TV cabinets, fridges and other furniture of different size could be placed according to the space; laser projector could also be installed to meet entertainment needs; air purifiers and other equipment suitable for pet families could also be equipped.
What could be a general plot in a game set in an apartment?In a game set in an apartment, it could be a story about a young artist who moves into a cheap apartment to focus on their work. However, they soon find out that the apartment has a lot of history. The walls seem to hold the memories of the previous occupants. As they explore the apartment more, they find old journals or paintings left behind. They might also interact with the neighbors, who each have their own stories and secrets. The artist could use these interactions and discoveries as inspiration for their own work, all while trying to make ends meet in the somewhat run - down apartment.
