Major students build a 7-square-meter "model house"

The floor height is 3.6 meters, the bed is 2 meters wide, there is an independent bathroom, a dining table, a writing desk...all of this is placed in a 7 square meter room. Nearly 20 teachers and students from the School of Architecture and Urban Planning of Chongqing University spent nearly a year designing and building such an extreme house, allowing people to live as comfortably as possible in a very small space. If your house is very small, you can refer to it for decoration. Yesterday, reporters experienced this unique "model house" on site. Although the structure is small, it is fully functional. This extreme residential "model house" built by teachers from the School of Architecture and Urban Planning of Chongqing University is 3.13 meters long, 2.2 meters wide and 3.6 meters high. It is made of wood and is divided into upper and lower floors. It looks like Like a container. Currently, the “model house” has been on public display in the atrium of the college for three days. Under the leadership of Wang Chenhan, a senior student who participated in this project, the reporter visited this "model house": only one person is allowed to pass through the door and entrance hall (the rendering of the entrance hall decoration); on the right side of the entrance hall is the bathroom, equipped with a toilet and shower and washstand; on the left side of the entrance is a stove, with brackets on the wall to place dishes such as dishes and chopsticks. To the right of the stove is a drum washing machine. After going up two more steps, the reporter arrived at the living room and saw a visiting student sitting on the floor with no other furnishings around. "Actually, the furniture is all 'hidden' underground." Wang Chenhan said as he lifted a lid on the ground, which contained a rotatable handle. As the handle turned, the ground where the student just sat gradually rose up, and then turned into a small square table. Wang Chenhan sat on the floor and stretched his legs under the table. "It can be used as a dining table or mahjong table to entertain guests." After his reminder, the reporter discovered that there were several similar covers under the floor of the living room. Wang Chenhan said that there were bookshelves, desks, and lockers hidden underneath them. Under the leadership of Wang Chenhan, the reporter walked along the steps equipped with CDs to the second floor. In the middle is a large bed with a length and width of 2 meters. There are some books on the bedside, and it can also be used as a desk for working. At the end of the bed is a row of cabinets, "mainly used to store clothes, which can be folded or hung." Wang Chenhan said that generally people with a height of about 1.7 meters do not need to bend down when standing on the second floor. Function: Provide a decoration reference. Wang Chenhan told reporters that this 7-square-meter house is designed for "bachelors". Of course, it is also enough for young couples. However, will it feel overwhelming if you live in such a small room for a long time? Su Yunfeng, a teacher participating in the guidance and a 2010 Ph.D. from the School of Architecture and Urban Planning of Chongqing University, said that according to Japanese research, everyone needs a certain amount of psychological and physical space in their lives. “The distance between people who are close to each other is 0.45 meters. The distance may be kept at about 2 meters.” He said that according to this research, teachers and students try their best to consider making the room as comfortable as possible in the smallest space. “This is almost the same. It’s the limit, it can’t be any smaller, every part of the room is as functional as possible”. Su Yunfeng believes that this can provide some decoration references for people buying small apartments. At the same time, as urban development accelerates and there is a shortage of housing in central urban areas in the future, small rooms like this may also be used. “It can solve the difficulty of some young people temporarily unable to buy a house; it can also shorten the commute for people living in suburbs. Time. Such rooms have been used abroad, “mainly in movable houses. "Su Yunfeng showed a picture of a car pulling a house in the suburbs. He believed that this kind of container-like house can be produced industrially. It took nearly a year to build the "model house" behind the scenes. 20,000 According to Su Yunfeng, this "model house" is actually the students' after-school homework. It was on display for nearly a year from last summer to April 8. "Actually, the students do not get any credit for this homework, teacher. There is no salary either. "Su Yunfeng said that this is the result of the fourth construction class "Extreme Living", but the construction class is not yet in the syllabus. It is at most a scientific research project.

He told reporters that 5 scientific researchers including Xu Qianli, 2 graduate students and 12 undergraduates combined with foreign design cases, from copywriting research, determination of plans to production of 1:10 models, finally designed 4 small-area models. Independent houses, the smallest of which is a single-person independent "barrel house" with an area of ??only 4.5 square meters, but it is not suitable for long-term living. In the end, everyone decided to use this one-bedroom and one-living room with only 7 square meters for actual construction. "I used to make small models, but I have never built anything this big. It's like working as a construction worker." Wang Chenhan said that everyone made everything from the exterior wall to the interior of the house by hand. It took half a day to assemble it and the cost was high. About 20,000 yuan. It is understood that the housing model designed by teachers and students will be displayed for free at the Major B Area Architecture Museum for 2 weeks, and interested citizens can visit it. Bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, balcony, desk, tea seat, wardrobe, storage and other spaces are all available. With 7 square meters, it can be a home. This is a 1:1 physical residential model designed and constructed by 12 undergraduate students from the School of Architecture and Urban Planning of Chongqing University.
