The price increases as you move closer to Miami because then they are made of concrete. Also the houses in Miami have great views of the beach and the sea. Most homes have air conditioning because it is so hot. They also have electricity. Normally rural houses are surrounded by forests and rivers. Also some houses outside Miami might cost less because of crocodiles and mosquitoes. There is still great scenery outside Miami.The average house in Miami has three bedrooms,  two bathrooms and there is twelve rooms if they are two storey. The price for a average house is two hundred thousand but prices may vary
between counties. We think that houses in Florida are amazing.]]> 2018-01-29 14:44:10 UTC https://padlet.com/glengurtns_bdalton/pch97ge2oix1/wish/225644850 glengurtns_bdalton https://padlet.com/glengurtns_bdalton/pch97ge2oix1/wish/225645361 Materials:
The traditional houses in Tokyo are made of wood, slates, glass and sometimes brick. They are usually held up by wooden beams and last for up to 27~30 years.

Rooms:
Some of the rooms in an average home in Tokyo are a kitchen, bathroom, laundry room and a washitsu.

Heating:
Houses in Tokyo have space heating instead of central heating. They never have insulation in their houses because they have heated floors and toilet seats.

Outside/Surroundings:
The outside of a traditional Tokyo house has lots of trees and plants. It looks like they really love nature and plants. They also have statues in their gardens or else they have fountains.

Size:
The sizes of a house in Tokyo Are many different shapes and sizes. There is no average size.

Facilities:
Houses in Tokyo have similar facilities to houses in Ireland. Like toilets, showers, sinks and baths.



Opinions:
Jack H: I think the houses in Tokyo are terrible because they don't last long enough.

Heather: I love the rooms and the garden in the houses in Tokyo are nice but I don't like the way they have a very short lifespan.

Nicole: I like the houses in Tokyo because they are very plain and simple but i think their lifespan should be increased.

Daisie: I like the houses in Tokyo because of the look and garden. I don't like the way they only last 27~30 years.

Sanitation/ hygiene is often a big problem in Rocinha sewage flows down a large channel in the middle of houses.

 In 2017, The Economist reported a population of 100,000 in an area of 1 km (squared). It takes up 6% of Brazil population. More than 600,000 people live in the favelas.

There are not much facilities there. But they do have there basic needs e.g stolen electricity from down the street, food and work for some of them. There is no heating, the sun is the best heater they have. They also have no toilets.

Most favela house's contain up to 6 family members sharing 2 bedrooms adults in one room and children in the others. Sometimes the kids will have to sleep on the floor and if it rains the whole building will collapse.

The outside is very dirty with peoples waste thrown on the ground.

At least 160 people die every day and 58559 people have died since 2014. This is tragic and really sad.

In our opinion we would not like to live in a favela because the government don't fund for these poor places. We also don't like the way that the government made the owners of their favela paint their house so it will look nice. We are very lucky not be living there.

Norwegian houses are very beautiful with their wooden panels and slate roofing.  It is normal for their houses to be painted a strong colour such as red, blue or yellow, but white is the most popular. Traditionally houses are built with small sized rooms, to keep in the warmth. They also have steep-ways a fire place or wood oven in the centre of the house to warm up the rooms during the cold winters.
In the old days, it was common for Norwegian houses to grow grass on the roof.  Cottage roofs were made out of tree bark and to keep it from curling up they would put turf on top. Grass would then grow on the turf. The grass held the turf down, keeping it on the roof and during the Summer the grass and weeds would shoot and flower. The turf on the roof was also good for insulation, keeping the cottage warm during Winter and cool during Summer. Houses  are usually made of wood instead of bricks or concrete. However, the wood is more prone to water damage and cracking in their climate. Since Norway is a big producer of slate tiles most of the houses in Norway use them for roofing. However, some people go for the cheaper option of corrugated iron. (My Little Norway.)

Facilities:
In a typical Norwegian home their is a family room (sitting room), a nook (an isolated part of a room e.g. breakfast nook), parlour (pantry), dining room, garage, 2 bedroom, master bedroom, den (man-cave) and a bathroom. (Norwegian House Plan Images)

Outside Surrounding:
Norway is, in our opinion, a beautiful  country with lovely scenery. Examples are their ice, blue fjords; freezing glaciers; rolling, green hills and in general gorgeous landscapes to view. If you go or live in Norway you will be able to see the Northern Lights and you wont be disappointed. (Our Opinion.ie)

Size:
On average 2-4 people live in a Norwegian household. This would mean that most people have 1-2 children.  (www.arcgris.com)

Heating System:
In Norway there is 5 types of heating systems. The most popular is electrical heating. The second is renewable energy.

Our Opinion:
Anne-Marie: "I would love to go on holidays to Norway or live there to see what the houses are like in real life."

Emma: "I love the houses as they look similar to LEGO houses. They are also really modern looking."

Tierna: "I love them. They are really fascinating."

Darragh: "I think they are really cool the way that they have grass on the roof and are painted different colours.
