Красиво жить можно или как превратить панельный дом во дворец | Михаил Швыганов | TEDxNovosibirsk


Как вы думаете, можно ли обычную панельную 10-ти этажку превратить в «Дом образцового содержания», в котором стены подъездов в итальянской плитке, керамогранитные полы, перила из нержавейки, бесшумные болгарские лифты, светодиодные светильники с оптико-акустическими датчиками, торцы дома утеплены и отделаны особо стойкой декоративной цветной штукатуркой, у подъездов пандусы, тротуары из брусчатки и многое другое?! Звучит как описание места, где живут олигархи, не правда ли?

А между тем, представьте себе, живут там обычные горожане, не потратившие ни одной лишней копейки сверх положенных платежей за обслуживание жилья!

И все это — благодаря нашему спикеру.
