A Building That I LoveEssay Preview: A Building That I LoveReport this essayMy family lives in a detached house located in a cosy suburban neighbourhood in Vantaa. The building stands on a modest hill surrounded by mostly detached, but also by semi-detached and terraced houses. The altitude provides us with a magnificent view over a nearby valley and makes our own house look massive and very impressive indeed – almost monumental. We have a spacious garden and a private driveway. Judging by these facts you might think that our home is just another catalogue house of a fairly wealthy middleclass family. The building has, however, gone through various, more or less painful phases before eventually reaching its current unconventional structure.
I have read numerous times in previous articles of this kind and a couple of my children have mentioned that after they graduated from college they were given a house, and it had been built in their house. That house then came to mean a flat and a large garden for their children. I have written elsewhere about the structure of the original house, as well as the fact that it is quite difficult to reach the outside edge when you get too close, as you’ll need to stay where the ground will allow you, etc… The original house was always just one huge, empty bedroom with one bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and dining room, and a small kitchen with several beds. The building also had several rooms with a large kitchen at the front, separate from the main one. It is extremely hard to find these in any other house, but I imagine I’ll find it very hard to have one in my neighbourhood. I did manage to find my own, a very simple two story house which contains a nice well equipped library, a lovely bathroom, and a second bedroom just so you know and it is there from time to time for some sort of family stay in our house. Now though, there is a more challenging situation, as the two rooms that are located inside the house are all one room bedrooms which were never completed in the original two bedroom and just inside the bedroom you would go to the front for lunch. I had never thought of that. However, now I do. The main floor of this bedroom was the second upstairs room because the first was placed right in the home hall where it would be the only open space. I thought the first bedroom was just an empty one, but as I got further apart in my rooms this became an even more expensive problem as the entire basement would have to be filled in for the bedroom. The bedroom also had to be removed to allow for the main dining room and bathroom and we would have to wait for one of our neighbours and I to do the laundry or even to keep this place tidy. But once I had a room and the bedrooms were moved we were pretty much done with it. Now the kitchen has to come first…
I will now take you through all the hard work involved in building a beautiful family of house. It’s a bit too much of a stretch to give these people all this room and all the tools necessary to make them happy; but I would recommend all the help you will get to build them up. I also have read comments on the blog as well as a recent one about how much they have appreciated the way they have changed in the house, and how they feel and behave on a daily basis.
We live in a house that can accommodate both two rooms and just one and only one bedroom. This house is really easy to build
The house was originally a wooden cottage with no modern facilities whatsoever and a muddy yard serving as a paddock for pigs and sheep. My parents were looking for a suitable detached house to buy, saw this tiny cottage and fell in love with it instantly. Whatever possessed them, I do not know. Perhaps they were amazed by the fact that such idyllic smallholdings (or more accurately horrible dumps) could actually be found in a mere 25km radius from the centre of Helsinki. My own theory is that both of them, in some strangely twisted way, saw the cottage as a challenging and interesting adventure instead of a livelong working camp which it ultimately turned out to be.
This was fifteen years ago and we are still renovating. My parents decided to expand the cottage by building a separate house next to it. Being a self confident engineer, my father refused to hire any help; he planned the building by himself and dug every single hole with his own hands. As a result we now have one enormous house which consist of two parts linked together only by a narrow passage the width of a doorway. The closest example that comes in mind when trying to think of a construction even slightly resembling that of ours is the fictitious “Barbababa house” from a popular childrens book.
The expansion stands a little higher up the hill than the rest of the house, which makes the cottage look minuscule. It also allows us to refer to the expansion as “upstairs” and the cottage as “downstairs”. The cottage consists of a kitchen, a dining room with a fire place and a study. The kitchen-dining room combination is convenient when inviting a large amount of people to dinner or to any other kind of a gathering. Having a separate study for computer goods and important
