Today, living outside the city has become very fashionable. In most cases they build little house. It is always cozy in it, and to build it, serious preparation is not required. When it is necessary to take into account the number of floors, the construction of the extension.

Project and layout small house with attic

Basically, a house is built according to certain conditions and specific standard projects. The choice of design is made by each owner individually.

Usually such a house has necessary premises for housing and outbuildings.

Many summer residents build with their own hands attic floors. Such a house usually reaches a maximum area of ​​60 m2. Can be done at home own garage. This house is distinguished by beauty and aesthetics.

When the area of ​​​​the house is less than 50 m2, you should not start multi-storey construction. It is better to build a small house in which the whole family will be comfortable.

To build a small house, you need to follow a certain sequence:

• interior planning;
• selection of materials;
• budget calculation.

A country small house should have free space for three people. Therefore, such a house should have:

• two bedrooms,
• living room
• kitchen,
• bathroom,
• utility rooms.

The garage must be located separately from the house. If you make an entrance to the garage directly from the house, then the exhaust gases will definitely get inside the room. No doors and insulation can help.

Choosing materials for country house, it is best to purchase energy-saving materials: foam blocks or aerated concrete.

For such materials is done. As a result, the costs associated with the future maintenance of the house are reduced. When planning is over, all are picked up necessary materials, an estimate is drawn up and construction begins. How to build a small house with your own hands step by step.

Site selection

To build a house, you need to choose a site so that it is easy to connect to it:

• engineering Communication;
• electric wires;
• gas supply;
• water pipes;
• sewerage.

We select the necessary building materials

So, the project is ready, it was accepted by all network organizations. It remains only to implement it.

Almost all projects are developed taking into account certain materials. Therefore, it will be correct when choosing a project to immediately select the type of material.

The number of floors, the installation of the heating system and the conduct of thermal insulation will depend on this.

Among the currently popular materials are:

• wood;
• brick;
• foam blocks;
• expanded clay.

Then the walls are built. Corners are aligned first. The first rows are laid with constant control of the building level.

The cement layer is made small to reduce the energy saving properties of the house. After the laying of the walls is completely dry and becomes very strong, proceed to the laying of the second floor.
If the house is one-story, mount the roof.

It is best to install it immediately after complete drying. cement mortar. Such a building will be reliably protected from the influence environment. First, a wooden rafter system. It is designed to attach a waterproofing layer, then lay the outer coating: tiles or metal tiles.

The latest is done interior decoration. ceiling surface covered with drywall, then plastered and painted.

To obtain beautiful view establish stretch ceiling. Previously, the walls are plastered and leveled. They are wallpapered or covered decorative plaster. The choice of materials depends entirely on the individual taste of the home owner.

Experts say that a modern comfortable house does not have to be large. In fact, 28 m is enough for a person to live a normal life. 2 . It turns out that a family of four will feel comfortable in a house with an area of ​​​​slightly less than 120 m 2 . And such a house can rightfully be called small.

Typically, projects small houses- one-story. But at the request of the customer, you can complete the full-fledged second floor or attic.

In order to comparatively small area place all living rooms and ensure comfortable living for the family, the size of technical and utility rooms is reduced. Although the space is organized according to the same principles as in any other project. But there are features that are due to the need to strictly save usable space.

Small house project: fight for every square meter

1. By designing small, architects minimize the use of internal partitions. Thus, the premises, different in their functionality, are combined into a single space. For example, the living room, dining room, kitchen are grouped into a daily area and separated purely visually - with the help of design techniques. The project of a small house allows you to rationally use each square meter usable area. Wherein additional rooms remain isolated.
2. The bedrooms of family members, bathrooms, dressing rooms form a night zone and are located in such a way as to protect the personal space of the residents of the house from outsiders as much as possible. If the house is two-story, then the night zone is taken out there.
3. The utility area, consisting of bathrooms, a boiler room and other utility rooms, is being tried to be designed to a minimum size.
4. In order to productively use non-residential space, they seek to limit the number of corridors and passages.
5. If the house is two-story, there should be two bathrooms. To reduce installation costs engineering networks, they are placed one above the other. AT one-story house the bathroom is placed so that it has a common riser with the kitchen.

Pros of small house projects

• Building small house does not depend on the configuration and size of the land.
• The construction of such a house, and also cost much less.
• Short terms of design and construction.
• The relatively low cost of utilities and easy home maintenance.

Small house projects: results

A carefully thought-out project of a small house allows you to rationally use every square meter of usable area. Thanks to this, the customer receives modern comfortable housing for relatively little money. Therefore, we recommend choosing professional small house projects from Dom4m.

A miniature house is a housing option for citizens who do not have a large land plot under construction but want to live in own house. In addition, compact cottages are affordable and have many other benefits. Our catalog contains various projects small houses: cozy country cottages and interesting city houses.

Characteristic features of houses up to 40 sq. meters

Residential buildings with a modest area are usually one-story, rarely have a second floor or attic. All free space inside is used as rationally as possible, therefore, in such buildings, walls and interior partitions installed at right angles. Materials used for this type of structures:

• aerated concrete;
• wood;
• combination of several building materials.

The project of a small house, although it is being developed miniature, does not lose its comfort. Dinner Zone grouped in the form of a studio, and the most remote place is allocated for the bedroom:

• at the end of the hallway;
• in the attic;
• With opposite side from the kitchen.

The compactness of the design also affects the layout - all functional rooms are minimized, and furniture and appliances are used built-in to save space. In bathrooms, instead of a bath, a shower cabin is most often mounted. As an alternative to the usual cabinets, there are modules and wardrobes hidden in the walls.

Cottage small size designed for two or three residents. This version of the project is best suited for a young family with limited budget or an elderly couple who are difficult to care for big house. Building a small log house for a summer residence will cost less than building a brick building. And with a larger budget, you can build a modern small wooden castle.

The attractiveness of small house projects

Microhouse is economical, less cost for construction and Decoration Materials and work, lower prices for repairs and maintenance. This type of building is beneficial for other reasons:

• versatility - it is suitable for any size and shape of plots;
• ease of adaptation to customer requests;
• speed of design and construction;
• practicality in operation;
• low utility costs.

Project selection little house allows you to implement the construction of an economy class cottage in a short time. Depending on the purpose of the structure, the cost of its heating can be easily optimized due to a small area of ​​insulation or the choice of heat-retaining materials. At the request of the developer, the project country house can be completed with a small annex with a sauna or an outdoor pool.

Among our selection original projects small residential houses with a photo have layouts for young people with a modern facade design and discreet classic solutions for mature owners. In addition to plastered facades, in the catalog you can find projects of small houses up to 50 sq. m. with an unusual stone cladding or wooden panels.

In private construction, two-story houses (photos and projects occupy a significant part of the proposals of various construction companies, among them you can include houses with an attic) - this is, first of all, an opportunity to get a sufficient amount of living space in a small area.

On a plot of 6-8 acres, a house with a living area, for example, 130-150 sq. 2, will look, to put it mildly, cumbersome, but you still need a place under garage and other outbuildings, so there will be no space left for a lawn or garden with a vegetable garden. In addition, competently plan a one-story house of a large area, avoiding walk-through rooms and creating functional space, quite difficult - in some projects of large one-story houses the total area of ​​halls and corridors can reach 25-30%. With an equal living area, a two-story house, even with an attached garage, takes up significantly less area Location on.

Projects two-storey houses(meaning both completely two-story houses, with a cold attic, and houses with attic) have other advantages:

• aesthetic appeal - a two-story house makes it possible to implement more architectural ideas and techniques, so most often its facades look not only more solid and representative, but also much prettier and more attractive than those of one-story houses. In addition, there is a certain stereotype that a two-story house is "cooler" than a one-story house - the complex shape of the roof and the house will greatly improve the architectural expressiveness of the house

• space zoning - planning two-story house allows you to divide the living area into "night" (the second floor, where the bedrooms of the owners of the house are usually located) and "day" (the first floor - kitchen/dining room, living room, boiler room, utility rooms, etc.). Those. at any time, you can move to the second floor and ensure peace and quiet, minimizing the possibility of even an accidental intrusion of an outsider
• beautiful view - which opens from the balcony, from the terrace or french window, especially if you take into account the habit of erecting monolithic fences up to 3 meters high in plots. Of course, they can be, using the techniques vertical gardening, skillfully decorate (hide), but still some sense of the "prison courtyard" will remain

• use for building houses different material- bricks, aerated concrete, timber (glued, profiled), rounded log, as well as construction using frame technology

However, the disadvantages characteristic of two-story houses must also be taken into account:

• installation of stairs - without which it is simply impossible to get to the second floor. On the one hand, it will "eat" from 7 to 12 sq.m, depending on the design, usable area. On the other hand, the older the tenants of the house become, the more problematic it becomes for them to get to the second floor. If the house is originally conceived for an elderly couple, then the second floor can be reserved for guest bedrooms, the plan of such a house should provide for the placement of "main" rooms on the first floor. And one more important point- stairs, if we take the safety of houses in general - the most traumatic place

• if the layout does not provide for the placement of bathrooms one above the other, then the wiring will become problematic sewer pipes and providing lower bathroom ventilation as well as kitchens. AT brick houses you will have to provide and lay out the channel, otherwise - drill through holes and insert air valves which will increase the heat loss aerated concrete house- drill channels directly into the walls. The arrangement of the ventilation system in a one-story house is much simpler and more economical
• with the same thermal insulation, a one-story house is 10% warmer than a two-story house
• in case of fire, it is much easier to evacuate from a one-story house

On the engineering systems worth staying separately. If in the projects of one-story houses most communications can be carried out simply by using the attic, then in a two-story house the same sewer and water pipes will have to fit inside interfloor overlap, which significantly complicates its design and significantly complicates the repair of systems in the event of force majeure situations.

Advice! System drawings should provide for the possibility of access to them through control hatches, especially in the most critical areas for breakdowns.

For heating two-story houses, it will be necessary to install a pump for forced circulation water, in a one-story house, depending on the design, you can get by with "gravity". But the ventilation system, which has already been partially discussed above, will create the greatest problems. Installation plastic windows and thorough insulation of the house will require installation air handling unit with the distribution of ventilation ducts, which is quite difficult and costly in two-story house. In fact, electricity distribution will be the same in complexity and cost in a one-story house as in a two-story house.

The device of the fireplace will also become more complicated - if you install it on the first floor, then you need to accurately plan how the chimney will pass through the second floor, plus - ensure fire safety in the interfloor area. And to install a fireplace on the second floor, you will need to lay a reinforced concrete base.

Projects of one- and two-story houses: which is more economical

Separately, it is worth highlighting the question of comparing the cost of houses. In general, a simple rule applies here - the higher the number of storeys of the building, the cheaper it is for 1 sq.m of usable area. Savings start from the roof - its area is smaller, so the cost of roofing materials and the device of the frame are significantly reduced. If you make an overlap between floors, first and second, of wood, you can save on finishing and rough screed, as well as floor insulation. In this case batten performs functions immediately finish coat, and the bearing part of the floor. But the use of concrete floors as a floor will nullify the difference in the cost of a floor in a one- and two-story house.

With plans for the construction of a small cottage. They are in demand with the small size of the suburban area, complex terrain. Often the customer simply does not need a large area, but wants the building to have an interesting architectural appearance, for example, be decorated with a balcony or a bay window.

Design features and layout

A characteristic feature of the projects for small two-story houses shown in the photo is a compact arrangement technical premises on the first floor of the house. The private area (bedrooms, office) is moved to the second level, which protects them from extraneous noise. Downstairs, as a rule, a living room, a kitchen, a veranda are arranged. Here are three examples.

• Two-story country house No. 13-14 with an area of ​​89 m 2. Built of timber, 7×7 meters. The attic makes it possible to use the space with maximum benefit: It has two bedrooms and a bathroom.
• For narrow sections, project No. 13-13 will be of interest - a small cottage with dimensions of 9 × 5.7 m (S 93 m 2). small house in scandinavian style with typical Norwegian red walls.
• Square house (6 × 6 m, 43 m 2) of economy class from aerated concrete - No. 58-56 in modern style. The decoration shows the influence of German fachwerk, which gives it an original look.

The disadvantages of 2-level buildings include the need to equip the stairs - this increases the cost of construction, and it requires additional space. However, this saves money on the foundation, and it takes up a significant part of the budget. To reduce costs, another technique is used: bathrooms are located one above the other, which makes it possible to rationally equip engineering communications.
