Those houses and gardens look pretty Swedish, although Swedish houses are usually of higher standard than that :laugh:

Post by: Pyraxis on September 13, 2012, 11:06:18 PM: Are the house layouts Swedish too? (except for the tatami room I suppose)
Title: Re: Swedenhills.jp - Japanese copy of Swedish community
Post by: TheoK on September 13, 2012, 11:14:38 PM: Yes, they look like typically small Swedish villas in some middle class suburb, although I can see that the Japanese don't use as expensive material etc. as we usually have in Sweden.

Real Swedish villa in Sweden

Post by: odeon on September 13, 2012, 11:28:26 PM: The houses that do look like that tend to be older. Those are the ones that use better materials. The modern ones use cheaper stuff.

Post by: TheoK on September 13, 2012, 11:32:46 PM: Oh, you're right :-\

Post by: odeon on September 14, 2012, 06:44:06 AM: Unfortunately. Build quality was better a few decades ago, too.
Title: Re: Swedenhills.jp - Japanese copy of Swedish community
Post by: lutra on September 14, 2012, 07:51:05 AM: Same here. Prae-wars and interbellum houses tend to have a higher standard of quality in Holland.. and ja, are often nicer looking too.

Well, it depends.. depending on 'the thickness' of someone's wallet, I reckon.

Oh, and p/m 98/100 of houses are made out of stone/bricks here though.

Title: Re: Swedenhills.jp - Japanese copy of Swedish community
Post by: lutra on September 14, 2012, 09:56:29 AM: ^ It's there to keep the snow on the roof in Winter. Snow is an excellent insulation 'material' and ja, it acts like a blanket.

:plus:

Fascinating. Learn something new every day. Here we try our best to keep snow off with heavily pitched roofs, etc. I guess we don't work with nature as much as against it.

Post by: TheoK on September 14, 2012, 10:41:09 AM: More seriously, those things are there for the chimney sweep.
Title: Re: Swedenhills.jp - Japanese copy of Swedish community
Post by: lutra on September 14, 2012, 11:27:20 AM: More seriously? Hu? The horizontal wire thingies (on previous posted picture) are there to keep the snow on the roof, aren't they? (yeah, the vertical one is for what you mentioned but.. )

Well, the Swiss and e.g. Czech do this for that purpose (for sure). Seen it numerous of times on my Winter holidays.

Title: Re: Swedenhills.jp - Japanese copy of Swedish community
Post by: TheoK on September 14, 2012, 11:30:51 AM: Never thought of that. To some degree you must shovel the snow away, otherwise the roof might become deformed, but of course some 10cms of snow will isolate and make no damage.
Title: Re: Swedenhills.jp - Japanese copy of Swedish community
Post by: odeon on September 14, 2012, 11:34:58 AM: You need to make sure that there isn't too much snow up there--you are responsible if it falls on somebody. That said, it is a great insulation material. A money saver.
