The tendency of modern house with high ceilings is not just about tastes but perhaps related to comfort and aesthetic design of the house. However, for you those who will build or design a house must read some basic principles that might be useful as follows:
Climatic Factors
If you look at the houses in cold climates, they tends to have the low ceiling . For example in Japan or Europe , the height of ceiling is 2.4 or 2.5 meters. The reason is energy savings. The higher the ceiling the higher the heating required.
Meanwhile, in coastal areas or hot climates, high ceiling allows better air circulation. Some of you may already know that hot air will move upwards. Thus, high ceilings allow air in the room became still cool. In addition, with a high ceiling allowed sunlight to enter more deeply into all parts of the house, so the room does not feel damp.
The proportions and aesthetics
The architectural design isĀ talk about the proportion of space. Beautiful design that means proportional. In order to determine the standard ceiling height of a room, apply the formula like this: (length width) / 2. That’s means room-sized 3x4m will look proportional when the ceiling is about (3 4) / 2 = 3.5 m.
Of course this is not a standard mathematical formula because the ideal proportions can be processed through a good arrangement of the interior . In essence, the bigger the room the higher the ceiling, or ceiling should be higher than the width of the room. Because if not counterbalanced with higher ceiling, a large room will look like a musty hallway. Therefore, if you have large enough of family room , such as 8x5m without barriers, you can create a ceiling up to 6-7m.
