Welcome back, Loners! We hope you have all been doing well and we appreciate you tuning in. In this video, we took a look at why North America is not able to build nice apartments similar to those in Europe and other parts of the world. It was very interesting to learn more about this and we hope you enjoyed the video! If you did, please make sure to like and subscribe. Thank you all :) - บันเทิง
13:25 remember it's not just two staircases it has to have a corridor connecting them both.
"I don't think we need larger buildings!" Have you already forgot what the video said? He clearly said that because North America has this rule to have 2 staircases for any 2+ floor building, they HAVE TO build larger buildings to offset the space occupied by stairs. That's why you cannot have slim tall buildings.
Yeah but even i Europe, despite not needing 2 staircases, the new buildings are really big too, just because one square meter there will be cheaper so easier to sell. They do build small, narrow apartment building but that's usually if they are fitting it somewhere in a small space closer to the city center. Away from the center, where it's less of a problem to buy a bigger lot, developers will build big too.
The whole point of the video is that the requirements mean that a lot of space is eaten up by corridors and staircases, which means that if you want to have more apartments than staircases (or at least, relatively more space devoted to living spaces) you need to build a big building. Otherwise for lots of developers the cost is simply not worth it. So they build big buildings to make money. If smaller apartment buildings didn't need the staircases and the hallways they would be relatively cheaper to build, since you can devote more space to living space, so it is worth it for a developer to also build smaller buildings.
One major thing though (as an owner that the thing I "regret" with my "purchase") is the double-aspect, when you are living in region where it can get hot in summer it is really nice to have some breeze go through the appartment.
What about the external fire stairs, that are so iconic for buildings in american cities? Do they not count as a second stair? Ok, it still needs corridors to make them accessable, but for emergencies they are even better than internal stair cases, which can easily fill with smoke.
But another big point is the prevention of fire spreading through a building. 1. rule: do NOT build such houses from wood! A stone/concrete structure lasts much longer if one room is on fire. Usually the FD here gets there soon enough to prevent fire spreading to other apartments. I'm not certain, but I assume you wouldn't even get a permission to build a big apartment block from wood here in Germany. Single houses yes, but its much easier to escape from those in case of a fire.
Amsrican apartments tend to be larger than what you get elsewhere. Almost double the size on average of apartments in england.
That guy is comparing apples to oranges. He showed pictures from Copenhagen. Here, many of the houses are build in 1700 and something. They were smaller in that time.
New, modern buildings are big, maybe even bigger than US standards. Why? Utilities. It is way cheaper to service one big block, than three small.
I urge you to see this video: "TOP 5 CRAZY APARTMENT BUILDINGS IN COPENHAGEN: Explore the architecture of BIG Builds, MVRDV & more".
It is not made by a Dane!!
The point is, you can build big and nice.
P.S. Note the driverless Metro train, it makes it look very futuristic.

Love the being human of your show.
I know this is our first date, but where do you stand on height restrictions for single staircase buildings?
