Renovation Design for Prefabricated Panel Buildings

Currently, there are no directly available renovation designs for prefabricated panel buildings, but you can refer to the renovation case of a prefabricated panel house from the 1990s in the family compound of Chongqing Technology and Business University for design ideas.

Conditions of the House Before Renovation

This prefabricated panel house covers an area of 48 square meters and has numerous issues. The floor slab has limited load-bearing capacity, which means that heavy decorations or furniture cannot be added arbitrarily during renovation to avoid exerting excessive pressure on the floor slab and affecting the structural safety of the house. The wall base treatment is complex, with possible issues such as uneven walls and hollow areas, requiring a significant amount of time and effort for repair and leveling. The house layout is unreasonable, resulting in low space utilization and poor living comfort. The bathroom has severe water leakage, which not only affects its own use but may also cause trouble for the downstairs residents. Privacy is poor, possibly lacking effective sound insulation and partition measures. The electrical circuits are aged, posing safety hazards and being prone to short circuits and fires. The pipelines are aged, which may lead to water leakage and blockages. The kitchen is small and has no dedicated flue, making it difficult to discharge cooking fumes and affecting indoor air quality. The small windows and poor fume exhaustion further exacerbate the kitchen fume problem. The lack of an elevator increases handling costs and brings inconvenience to the transportation of renovation materials.

Effects After Renovation

After renovation, it has become a bright, transparent, and breathable healing-style small home. It includes areas such as a living room, bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, and entrance foyer. With wood as the framework and nature as the soul, it reflects a wood-style attitude towards life. In the living room, a simple layout and wooden-colored furniture may have been used to create a warm and comfortable atmosphere. The bathroom has solved the water leakage problem and may have adopted a wet-dry separation design, improving convenience and hygiene. The kitchen has increased its operating space through reasonable planning and solved the fume exhaustion problem. The bedroom focuses on privacy and comfort, possibly using soft lighting and comfortable bedding. The entrance foyer serves as a storage and transition area, making the entire living space more tidy and orderly.
