Why are some residential houses designed to be high in the front and low in the back?

The first consideration in the design of the current community is the floor area ratio.

After the floor area ratio is satisfied, other functions will be considered. For example, the designer will consider it, because if the lighting rate is not enough, construction is not allowed, that is, the planning permit.

It can't be done. Generally speaking, the community is built around the high-rise, the middle of the low-rise, in order to consider privacy and noise reduction, the low-rise is definitely higher than the high-rise, and the bottom of the high-rise is generally equipped with the bottom business, the bottom business is generally two to four or five floors, so if the low-rise is built around, the floor area ratio may not be enough, and the quality is reduced (the middle is built high-rise and low-rise, chaotic). Looking at the renderings in the picture, the developer may use the high-rise as the first and second phases, and the low-rise bungalows as the third phase.

Some residential houses will be designed with high buildings in the front and low in the back, on the one hand, because this design can better meet the requirements of lighting and ventilation. Since lighting and ventilation are related to the spacing of the house, the front building is designed to be higher to better meet the lighting needs of the rear house. At the same time, the lower floors of the rear houses can also enjoy better ventilation.

On the other hand, this design is also conducive to the staggered layout of the community, making the whole community more interesting. By designing the front row houses higher and the back row houses lower, a staggered layout can be formed, making the landscape of the community more colorful. In addition, this design helps to reduce noise and privacy in the community.

Low-rise houses are usually more expensive than higher-rise houses**, and high-rise floors are generally equipped with floor merchants, which are generally two to four or five floors. If you build a low-rise building around it, the floor area ratio may not be enough and the quality will be reduced.

Therefore, in order to achieve the most effective use of the area, design more housing units without affecting lighting, ventilation and sunshine, adopt the form of dislocation, and plan the construction of each house to achieve good results.

In general, the fact that the front building is taller than the back building does not directly affect the back building.

This is because each building has its own structure and support system, while the front and back buildings are usually separate buildings with no direct physical connection between them. However, if there is a certain distance between the front and back buildings, and shadows will form in some places due to the height of the front building, then this may have a certain lighting effect on the back building. In addition, the height of the front building may also change the landscape and visual effect of the surrounding environment, which may have a certain impact on the visual perception of the rear building.
