Many friends mentioned that Japanese residential buildings look very low in height, and asked how to route extra bathroom pipes. These are actually related to the entire Japanese decoration concept.
Japanese people pay great attention to the "pierceway" space, and most Japanese residential entrances have a 10-centimeter floor height difference between the entrances and the houses. This is because Japanese law stipulates that the floor inside the house must be raised by 10 cm. Although this reduces the floor height, it can play an excellent sound insulation role, which is beneficial to others and oneself; on the other hand, various pipe wiring can be easily hidden in this space during decoration, bringing great convenience to the decoration.
For example, when you are curious about the bathroom, you can see that these two bathrooms are actually next to each other, so they share a sewage pipeline, and the water pipeline is directly passed through the raised 10-month distribution line.
There is another problem. Many friends are curious whether Japan does not have a load-bearing wall.
In fact, the load-bearing wall still exists, but there are only these two red-shaped load-bearing walls in the entire house that cannot be moved. The rest can be modified freely according to your wishes, so the layout of the room can be easily changed.
First use a wooden shelf to build the frame first, and then wrap the wooden boards to make the wall. Whether it is demolished old or newly built, the wooden wall makes the construction speed very efficient. It only took 2 days to demolish the whole house, and it was the same every day when it was renovated. Every time I went to supervise the work, I could see phased progress.
Another advantage of wood walls is that they are thinner than ordinary cement walls, which to a certain extent also improves the actual use rate of space.
Maybe some people will be worried that the sound insulation effect of wooden shelves + wooden boards will be bad? The answer is yes, so a professional-grade sound insulation board was added to the wall. After actually checking in, it proved that the sound insulation effect was indeed great~
