Characterisation of leisure areas in vertical multifamily buildings aimed at proposing a leisure index

Abstract Vertical multifamily buildings now offer an increasing number of leisure environments. That is possibly in response to urban violence and the demands of consumer society, whose new needs demand commodities that turn into desires. What does the real estate market offer as recreational environments in these buildings? The objective of this paper is to characterise the scope and configuration of the environments and leisure areas at vertical multifamily buildings, aiming at proposing a leisure index. A total of 31 developments were selected from six construction companies in the city of Maceió/AL/Brazil, between 2010 and 2015. The projects were divided into 3 groups according to the area of the apartments, based on the Sales Velocity Index; leisure environments were grouped into four user ranges; the respective leisure rates were calculated. The study showed that the adult and shared leisure areas occurred throughout the sample; most of the leisure environments are located on the pilotis/ground floor area, some on the roof and on the mezzanine and a few in the basement. The condominiums with small apartments had lower leisure rates than those with larger apartments and isolated buildings. The proposed leisure index was adequate to express the varied offer of the local real estate market.

摘要 垂直多户住宅建筑如今正提供愈发丰富的休闲配套环境。这一趋势或为应对城市暴力问题与消费社会的诉求：消费社会催生的新需求，催生出从商品转化为欲望载体的休闲产品。当前房地产市场在这类建筑中提供了哪些休闲环境？本文旨在刻画垂直多户住宅建筑内休闲环境与休闲区域的范畴与配置模式，以期构建一套休闲指数。

本研究选取巴西阿拉戈斯州马塞约市2010至2015年间6家建筑企业开发的共31个住宅开发项目作为样本。依据销售速度指数（Sales Velocity Index），将项目按公寓面积划分为3组；同时将休闲环境按四类使用人群范围进行归类，并计算了各自的休闲率。

研究显示，成人休闲区域与共享休闲区域覆盖了全部样本；多数休闲环境设置于底层架空层（pilotis）/地面层区域，部分设于屋顶与夹层，少数位于地下室。配备小户型公寓的共管公寓楼，其休闲率低于配备大户型公寓的住宅以及独立式建筑。本文提出的休闲指数可有效表征当地房地产市场多元的休闲配套供给。
