5.Sauna and steam room What is more enjoyable than relaxing in the hot steam that helps to expel sweat? The heat stimulates the circulatory system to circulate and pump well, helping the heart to pump blood to all parts of the body better. In addition, the heat also opens the pores, causing the body to expel sweat and dead cells, helping to make the skin look firmer.
Facilities suitable for living
- The lobby is like the front of a house or condo used to welcome guests. In most condos, it is located on the ground floor of the project. In housing estates, it is usually located on the ground floor of the clubhouse or in front of the project.
Mostly used to meet visitors or do short-term business, which may not be convenient to visit in the house or room.
In addition, the lobby is like the face of the residents because it is one of the first places they see when they enter. If the lobby looks luxurious, comfortable, or decorated in a modern style, it will help to make the residents proud. - Co-working Space, Co-living Space, meeting room, library, or reading room Common areas that are suitable for use according to the lifestyle of the residents, suitable for working from home or reading books at home to prepare for exams
Facilities that support modern technology
Current facilities, if it is a new project, often use various technologies to help facilitate residents more, such as
- Using the Internet of Things (IoT) or smart technology that plays a role in connecting electrical appliances or various systems in the house together to accommodate the living behavior of each resident, such as smart lighting systems, smart plug systems, and various security systems.
- Smartphone applications Currently, many projects have developed applications to facilitate various aspects of living in the room, house, or project, from news notifications, expense notifications, problem notifications, parcel notifications, appointments, or reservations for the use of facilities.
In addition to the 9 initial facilities, some projects also provide other facilities, such as rooms for child development or playrooms, smart mirrors that can play music or watch news reports, lounges, onsens, vegetable gardens, or areas for pets.
Including various environmentally friendly facilities, such as solar roofs or food waste disposal machines.
Are there many facilities? Of course, at first glance, many facilities will have a positive effect on living. Whether you use them or not is another matter. But something to consider along with the facilities is the common fee or maintenance fee for those facilities.
The more you have, the more common fees you may have to pay. If you want to save on expenses in this area, you may want to consider a project that has the facilities that you need.
However, another perspective is that having many facilities increases the value of your house or condo when selling or renting out because it can accommodate the lifestyles of buyers or tenants more.
It can be seen that facilities are important for living in a house or condo. They help residents do activities together or promote better health. They also help increase the value of the house or condo.
