建造定制房屋时，业主往往需要平衡他们的需求、预算和现实。有些附加功能看起来挺酷的，但这些功能对你的房屋产生的增值可能并不值他们的花费；在一些情况下，这些很酷的附加功能可能会让你的房子以后更难卖出。如果你的定制别墅里有空间给这些额外的房间，那很好，但在寸土寸金的多伦多房产市场中，这些附加的房间更像是浪费了的空间，而且它们没有其他用途，这就是为什么虽然建造这些特定功能的房间看起来很不错，但有一些多功能的空间更实用。 萨蒂庭建筑列举了7种看起来很高大上、但对房屋可能没有任何增值作用的功能。 泳池 谁不喜欢在炎热的夏天能钻进自家的泳池呢？可惜在加拿大，游泳池很有可能是种负担。在加利福尼亚或者佛罗里达这些暖和的地方，几乎整年都可以使用游泳池，让家用游泳池的成本得到最大化。但在加拿大或者美国北部地区，一年的大部分时间游泳池都是闲置的，因此非常不合算。游泳池对有年幼孩子的家庭来说还有些危险，另外也占据珍贵的室外空间。 家庭影院 家庭影院可能听起来很不错，但事实是很多人并不需要这种额外的专用空间。很多人的客厅里会有电视机和流媒体服务，这样在用餐时就可以用电脑，平板电脑和手机看节目和电影。在空间比较充裕的房子里，家庭影院还不错，但如果是大多伦多地区一般大小的房屋，那么就有点浪费空间了。如果家庭影院设置在一个多功能空间里，那么还稍许合理一点。 家用健身房 有了家用健身房，你的房子可能很容易卖出给一个健身狂热者。但大多数人即使热爱运动，也更喜欢去健身房和户外运动，因为这样可以集中精神，而在家很容易分散注意力。在多伦多，大多数人都不在家中配备健身设备，因此除非你准备将健身房一起搬走，没有必要在家建健身房了。 图书馆 一些专用的工作用空间比如书房，家用办公室和小隔间很有用，这些家用工作空间对很多在家工作的人来说非常有价值。然而，当你大费周章花大价钱把一个弹性空间造成一个专用图书馆，价值就降低了。大多数买家喜欢有些自由选择的余地，所以不要安装例如书柜之类的永久性的功能。 大面积的景观绿化 景观绿化的难点在于可以提高形象，但仅在有限范围内。在景观绿化上花适合的价钱能让你的别墅看起来更高级，吸引买家。但不要在后院投资一整个景观花园，因为这对别墅增值来说没有任何价值，只有好看，所以掌握别墅景观绿化的度，不要花大价钱。 车库改造 像在多伦多这种城市，很多独立屋连车道和车库之类的专用停车位也没有，这种情况下改造车库就很浪费了。在大雪天，能直接开车去上班，不用把车从雪里挖出来是很幸运的。因此即使改造车库能多几平米的居住空间，这些改造又贵又不好，所以大多数买家都不喜欢。省点力气，让车库就是车库吧。 游戏房 游戏房很好玩，但不是所有买家都能用得上。如果你想在你的定制别墅里建造于一个游戏房，那很好，但你能保证你的下一个买家不会觉得这个房间多余吗？游戏房里的摆件一般在搬家是你都需要移走，所以对不起了，游戏房对房子不会有任何增作用。 结论 让定制别墅增值比大多数业主想得都难，这不单单是加一些看上去高大上的房间或者功能，而是要加对使用且高大上的性能。对厨房、洗手间等主要空间的升级会比一些主题专用房间，比如游戏房的增值价值高的多。如果你既想拥有这些高大上的空间，又想保持别墅的买卖价值，那确保他们是多功能型的弹性空间，能够简易转换功能。想了解更多，现在就联系<a href = “http://cn.sinaarchitecturaldesign.com/contact/>萨蒂庭建筑设计公司</a>。Read More
