The other day the following letter to wire up a postman:

Minimalism, cost efficiency, saving money, reasonable? Or, less is more, or not? Be interested, whether under the old paradigm is cheaper to buildings constructed or a minimalist?

Dear Lord Koos!
I love your site, looking at the plan critically, then caught the belt machine to write about. Irományomat below where I could not classify the website forums, blog entries, letting left the e-mail. Of course, you can insert anywhere on my part to see if a good "reflection". I am not a professional, and even bottom-up or, perhaps more of a "dreamer hobbyist" status would be the best of my current life situation.

Words are sometimes surprised to read that despite the fact that in Hungary, as in any building in a very cost-conscious industry, yet the people are the architects and the built in they can not break the current paradigm, I mean that the housing concept is concerned.
People want to build cheap, but do not give up easily in the past the usual things.

I wonder that minimalism does not considered to be "cheap" alternative building style?
Me awfully like them a Brazilian "star designer", Marcio Kogan works. The Hungarian eyes may be too cold in the world, where the house is a rectangular concrete box with a flat roof, doors and windows of an all-glass sliding door in the wall of a house and move on. The buildings are absolutely minimalist, almost the entire airspace, or any of the stuff they have no funkcionalitástól different things.

They say the buildings are very large, but the form does their language can be transposed to the average Hungarian family living space the size of the order? And it happens not to immediately also saving money in a building?
(I'm talking about is very easy because no shots on architecture, so my brain is "virgin," thus, so nothing is too expensive for me - I mean the belekotyogás field.)

I am thinking that today one of our low-budget housing also includes a great woodwork finished heavy roof, which is usually expensive and heavy concrete tiles are a lot of room, are all doors separated by complicated spatial planning, central heating, electric virtue brain wiring, etc., etc. . Besides this low budget and all of these houses are relatively small and rather average, mediocre wear themselves look dull.

Kevésből wants to get quickly to the people in the building, you can not help minimalism as correspondent cost factor? I do not know well whether the approach, but perhaps in a complex-shaped house is cheaper with a simple convex rectangle, maybe a complicated tetőszerkezetnél cheaper on a flat roof, a sokajtós, sokszobás house could be cheaper in a little "loft a more" open-plan something up in the bedroom and bathroom would lefalazva. A relatively small saving in height may be heated. Kombicirkónál a cheaper Perhaps one of those trendy black disk today's hearth fireplace, etc.. Ésatöbbi and more.

Alternatively, the above-described "functional minimalism" is not a good way to be a problem of low-cost houses? I read in many places such as the omission of free raw concrete, such as design elements. For me it is synonymous with that do not have to plaster, paint, wallpaper. Perhaps only one thing can be more expensive in my vision I, the large glass surface, which is kompenzálhat not to be included and installed thousands of windows in the wall. The external raw concrete, again, save a one plastering. Ésígytovább.

A great role model and an average of more realistic size, but the above idiom same building .

Összegzően be interested, whether under the old paradigm is cheaper to buildings constructed or a minimalist?
Best regards, Zoltán Nagy

The letter read suggestions welcome back several times already, in the n-koos.hu, many have suggested, for example. review in connection with the Plan. The minimalism of the traditional first course (what is more often régieskedő) and the so-called. difference between the styles of modern genre implies. They do not want things architectural style, historical or theoretical debate to start, for me, this question can be approached from a much more rational, and perhaps even more readers request it. The topics are quite diverse and in many other areas also affected by what it is worth to mention, but it will not fit into an article. But never mind!

However, before you try to answer the questions raised, some things need to be replaced.

First Probably acceptable to consider the architectural magazines, online portals, blogs appear in the vast majority of buildings of architectural achievements of a well-defined regions come from the best Hungarian. Why is this important? Well, because the best part of a large family does not plan a house, tie them to the very great challenges. This is not a general, more typical. That is a very narrow circle in which they may come from high buildings.

Second It's not necessary to prove that these buildings are certainly a very narrow layer of our customers are, so to speak for the wealthy and do not think that this is just our way, also in Western Europe only módosabbak can allow themselves such a building.

Third The featured houses - and here again the home side in the same way includes - apparently, but it might actually be crystal clear architectural products would, apparently the design of them not much more restricted, I mean the plot sizes, land control indexes and possibly "mundane" customer concerns. They also say that given a free hand.

4th Not only is visible in these photos can be seen that the available plots alone are beautiful, panoramic view, large size. The building is square, is where to prevail. Think it was a family home, where one wall is entirely glass and virtually almost all indoor activities can be seen from the outside, well, it can be achieved only there where the alien's insight is not possible.

5th Changing nature of the current architectural trends, because they are too, too bad it would be denied. The simple functionalism of course, is not now found, but many of the "ism" in any case after such a thing is refreshing to see.

6th There are no quality criteria that are not used for comparison of benchmarks and measures. Even with legal obligations, they are largely inadequate to the private housing buildings to be listed. There are no certified verifiers, hyenas, scammers, garázdálkodnak unauthorized people everywhere. There are no prices, which comparison could be made in our houses, because the answer to everything, "I do I can do it cheaper." He did no one ask what kind of quality? And I can not put into question, largely because of the quality of the price after the category also. The lack of money, the bee, the fusion of modesty, the legislation intends to evade an entire industry cut back over the last 40-50 years ... and still surprised that we have here?

7th Last but not least, we are all others, and others, who are like this, but some people can not imagine to live in this building. I must say, fortunately, we are not the same.

****

Might be felt that this part of the long cannula answers as well, but I want to express them, but this next time. To be continued!

What style house resided happy?

    Perhaps this eccentric, western film genre and really minimalist, but it may be today's contemporary architecture (contemporist.com) and only improved tent-roofed frame houses next to an unusual, although the year 2009 the house of a similar (evhaza.hu).

    Many of the Brazilian, Australian, Californian example of the house where the plot size and the climate is extreme and gives a lot, but there are extreme examples, with Japanese Skills (whatwedoissecret.org) and Swedes are a very different climate (johansundberg.com).

  • bobo :

    I also like the minimalist houses, but these buildings are really just a lot more well prevail. Or completely turn inward, and do not show anything out. We do, however, the facade is often more important than the internal.

  • Richard:

    Welcome!

    We at the university recently told an entire semester on this style. What I would add to the above, either looking to the many examples, they are very good climatic conditions have been built - so the walls are thin, the proportions are almost perfect. And when I started to plan is not at all like the light effect I achieved. We certainly left its winter and cold in a punch falméretekre, material selection and design of heating is normal. In the summer, when the glass is too large, it shield cooling may also be required. Another difficult task due to the fact that particular site, and the person we had. Really it is the people that it should only some kind of roof. The orientation and disaster - is to find a buyer who endures that is certainly the view from the street to watch the panorama probably anyone what to do, almost impossible. I see quite a lot of concrete fences, nádazást, tujasort fence and even the beautiful houses on the street also removes image. In addition, many are not visible example garage or covered storage. Or because it was well-placed or not. I think many of us go by car and a lot of rain, cold, you should be protected. This is just my own experience, of thought, and I still am learning, I can be wrong.
    Otherwise, I prefer this style.

  • dp:

    The Swabians are thick and high stone fence built, the yard as if it were part of the building. England - in Ireland, but the curtain is just decoration, passing in the street you can see the family that lives its life. This social customs, mentality issue.

    If someone disturbances in the pictures is the front glass wall curtains, retractable on demand. This thermal insulation is also shielded as well.

  • beniman:

    Welcome. Everyone, I'd be curious fact that the vegetation is fully written up (even with chemical as well) belonged to the concept "apply more effectively to the minimalists', because to me it seems completely mental illness.

  • Rosh:

    This is the natural vegetation in a Mediterranean sandy island, but could be up to the Kiskunság and better than the golf turf thuja.

    The contemporary architecture is not dependent on climate and size. Energetically and financially, it can be asked about the unusually large glass surfaces, I'm curious for the answer. Similarly, it may not necessarily have large windows so that they function as a showcase.

  • beniman:

    Back because there are quite a bit of deciduous trees, it may be that the alien, but I have a few shrubs meghagyhattak. This is clearly a "landscape design"

  • Ladies and gentlemen,
    Olyasmiről the discussion going, and what do not know anything which is not much to do with the article.
    Why do we think at once that the design for the sake of someone kills all the trees? As far as I can see it's a pretty barren countryside, yet see no heating

  • beniman:

    I think the natural vegetation at the rear side and deciduous trees you can see, but at least one shrub or olajfátmeghagyhattak would think in a purely aesthetic fashion direction because they did such a stone desert Filing

  • beniman:

    OK, not okoskodok on.

  • Zoltan Nagy of the letter writer:

    Koos Dear Lord, dear everyone!

    I'm the one writing the letter "committed". Perhaps you might be misunderstood was the letter, but in fact the discussion was not intended to sort of "Hungarian-gagyizmussal" to be no ... he h .... had to build a house, but rather is focused on reflection, that is a completely clean, schematic building construction develop a thoughtful rational organization of space can not come up with spending less than a agyoncsicsázott kolostorcserepes, wrought-iron-torn Mediterranean Sea is full of buildings and forced once kevésből farmers, it is not an ordinary house instead of a little more extravagance otthonteremtésbe to Apply? Which is linked to the first house, Marcio Osler-Cogan Hall of twenty-some two hundred square meters of living area and seven hundred-odd-square-meter plot is. So the home is not usual for roughly an order of magnitude larger. The other - önbizonygató - thing is that the average size of land and house also does not apply to the design language itself which is in the pictures. Thus, the angularity, the clean simple space planning, etc. is relatively egylégterűség. I now live in a ex-tourist area, which is increasingly benépesül. (Vereeniging-Ivacs városrász) laugh myself silly when I walk in the neighborhood, to recognize which house any time. There is social realism, is forced Alpine, is rustic frame house is white and brown (from 80s), then many of the Mediterranean. Now we live in a small cottage was, he rebuilt four years ago, but slow to think, or rather an extension of that ledúrjuk and build a new one. But I do not like the term 'divatirányzatos' houses or in tents and nondescript many gabled average, 12 = not a dozen buildings. I hope that Mr. Koos is not reflected in the targeting affluent strata that must stop beletörődni that our country can only conventional house builder gondolkozhat the average budget?

  • LG:

    The building of the Spanish island of Formentera with their names (see decodir.com) with all kinds of human intervention such sparse vegetation, especially where they are going fenyöfélék. I think the architect is only the environment, (also) inspired created. I like the minimalist style, the less sniksnak the dust, more visible in the background, the light, but only if a system is feasible but difficult pl.gyerekekkel and family. The question of costs: adequate housing appropriate environment, they do not have to have thick walls and good heat insulation ...

  • aglaca:

    The large glass area (especially without frame) is expensive, the exposed concrete of the facade is expensive. So expensive trend of minimalism, but clever use of materials it is possible to build a traditional house price.
    If someone wants to build a cheap house in the ground floor + attic need to think again, which of course contradicts the magyiterrán contemporary style.

  • Shiver:

    These and similar buildings energetically atrocious, engineering creates the necessary comfort, also you as an individual against a wall, insulation, shielding should be. This old school right now Modernist buildings and the contemporary material, a star architect, houses designos really is true. Those who build such a thing, to build a design the subject of everything. And not just the style, the proportions of the purity which makes it look good, but also because of the perfect design in every detail carefully devised and implemented. No plugs, dressing, beam, ceiling, chandelier, radiator, chimney, hanging off anything. This high level of workmanship and the aforementioned large-scale engineering because it is expensive for sure one of these, if small, when the doors, partition walls can save money on others.
    Richard wrote such a thing as too much can only be achieved if the walls are thin, the big glasses, summer and winter, which is disadvantageous. They are beautiful, beautiful, like a small sports car series. But the 21 free century economy, population, weather conditions like this build?
    Mass in any way.

  • Rosh:

    Are you sure atrocious energetically? Exotic locations are not registered in our climate is to be assessed. But there are also plenty of examples of Scandinavia. Not typical of the heavy tile roof and a floor space of nearly square, it fits into the wall thickness of the insulation. The window is energetically or financially enemy? I do not know, I hope not.

  • bobo :

    One of my favorites is the minimalist house in urban areas, large glass surfaces in the courtyard:

    Damage to Australia. :-(

  • Zoltan Nagy:

    Bobo, last comment.
    I am very pleased linkednek, I recognized one of my favorite. Is included in the Small Houses (ISBN 978-3-8228-5281-1) c. book. (Vince-publisher in 2007, originally: Taschen Gmbh) This volume presents 25 contemporary architects through the work of the small house, small budget problem of their response. The variety of climate and local environments. Many minimalist house in it. I point this book has the appetite of minimalism, as long squirm a lot of style and always I find that many people build style. Fennebb As I wrote, I do not like one of FASHION trends. The minimal design with its sleek and slightly tense of emptiness but already close to me, when I did not know, that thing is listed as style.
    In 1995 the house was finished even when their parents moved to the suburbs. The family all looked stupid when others stilbútora and walnut parquet floors instead of carpet was black, ikea üvegvitrint, crystal chandeliers Halogen spotlight Instead I asked for my room ...

  • Shiver:

    Is there a point where the Earth is a good time? There are regions with warm climates, where heating is not the case, but there is always hot, thin walls, large glass surfaces especially if there is not beneficial or unshielded. In the Nordic area has no such problems, there is also the cold weather is not good for thin walls and large windows. Not to me, my enemy but a large glass of climate. Economic aspects as well as many others have already written too. The letter was a question of rationalization of expenditure by minimalism, this is a reflection of such housing construction and maintenance is also expensive. Which is beneficial to them, the compact building design.

  • aglaca:

    Because this style can be energetically to build a good house. The roof to roof, walls can be insulated properly oriented to the large glass surfaces can be either positive energy balance (in Hungarian trap the sun due to the overall effect is to produce and did not lose power).
    The Scandinavian buildings just mentioned exist, and you can still list them situs minimum.

  • Try these pretty thin projecting vb. pengefalakt, and ceiling are insulated and will not be as pretty slim, not to mention the fact that the X-ray napcsapdához 3-U windows are expensive to do that are very much more expensive, if you apply them to such a surface. If you want to dilatálni the internal structures from the outside, only a very complicated or expensive auxiliary structures can solve.

  • Zoltan Nagy:

    Juteszembe! Be found somewhere in the minimalist architecture is characterized by accessible? Several people wrote that it was teaching, I think that as an architect, Mr. Koos rálát etc. on the subject. I (hobbistaként per-pill) that employs a very minimalist.
    I'm very curious to what the liapor, then that is how the so-called fair-faced concrete thermal insulation? Indeed, the exposed concrete themed Web pages you request are all exposed concrete as I mentioned, which is applied to multiple layers, so to me it shows that the exposed concrete buildings are nearly one-piece cast? If I write stupid, feel free to load them (their) place. hello

  • Zoltan Nagy:

    Even so much that in Hungary there is one specifically for a minimalist house? In what is it made?

  • jump to the Hungarian churches were inserted illustration only

  • tomorrow is the third final part, I examine the concept even more.

  • Rosh:

    Glossary will be professional, but common sense is something we amateurs question the interpretations heretics, how to make a full house with minimal complexity, cost and construction time together.
    Reply to this passive house because they left out of the chimney, the gas works, etc.. The answer may be flat or pitched roof is half, or unused attic brick pyramid of bodies rather than forced, Hungarian attic than whole brain. Response can be compensated for a smaller footprint, or windows, often with open space to better utilization. Etc.

  • Uncle Szabo:

    This is not minimalist, but also externally. Running in just a fashion trend. By the way you like it too.
    If you look closer, however, these buildings, structural point of view is quite perfectionists.
    Élenjáróak also wasting energy. This is now a disgrace.
    Indeed, more minimalist list of Danish architecture can be considered.
