15.11.2011Build a barThe suites are of different sizes to suit the proposed occupants, and will have from two to twelve or more rooms of varying dimensions as desired. e., having kitchens and dining-rooms; partly "hotel" suites, i. e., having neither kitchens nor dining-rooms, the occupants preferring to use the public cafй and dining-rooms; and partly "semi-housekeeping" suites, i. e., having dining-rooms and china-closets with dumb-waiters connecting them with the public-kitchen, but no independent kitchen. The "housekeeping" suites require one more bed-room than the others, to accommodate a private cook. Assuming now at first in our comparison those conditions which are least favorable to the apartment-house, we will take one of the "housekeeping" suites, having precisely the same number and size of rooms as we find in our independent house or "tower" and compare costs. The build a bar only difference in the accommodation in each case is that, in the "flat," the rooms are accessible to one another without the use of stairs, while in the "tower" six flights of stairs in all are used, constituting in the aggregate a ladder, as it were, of about a hundred steps; also in the fact that in the "tower" the owner has to manage his own heating, ventilating and hot-water supply apparatus, while in the "flat" this work is done for him; that in the "tower" wooden staircases and no elevators are used, while in the "flat" fireproof staircases enclosing elevators are provided; that in the "tower" the main partitions are often of wood while in the flat they are of brick a foot thick and each "flat" is separated from its neighbor by a brick wall a foot thick build a bar and all the floors are completely deadened against the transmission of sound; and finally that in the "tower" no external fire-escape build a bar is provided, while the "flat" has convenient external fire-escapes of iron.Mndot construction Develope Renovations.com Home repairs do it yourself |
