The common facilities in many existing apartment buildings have become obsolete or damaged and resulted in property management difficulties. These problems resulted from the lack of comprehensive evaluation from the 'property management' aspect when designing the common facilities of apartment buildings. This study therefore intends to achieve the following two research objectives: (1) investigate the problems often observed in the common facilities in apartment buildings; and (2) establish a checklist that reviews the planning and design of common facilities from the 'property management' aspect in early design phase. This study conducted field studies on ten existing apartment buildings and interviewed the property management companies and management commissions of the ten apartment buildings in order to identify use problems often seen. Then, design criteria are proposed for each common facility use problem. This study summarizes thirteen types of use problems often seen (104 use problems in total) in five types of common facilities in apartment buildings. Besides, this study devises a common facility design review checklist designed to be used for the designers of common facilities in apartment buildings in early design phase from property management perspective. The design review checklist is organized around common facility space in five types of common facilities, important design decision, design criteria and property management benefits. The complete design review checklist consists of 141 design criteria for 140 important design decisions in 24 common facility spaces. |
