What does it cost us to build a house? Indeed, having a team of professionals and knowledge - building a house from scratch is a matter of time! But sometimes the task is more difficult! We have introductory - an existing foundation, or buildings on the site, extensions to existing buildings and much more! For the Matsuev family, it was precisely such a difficult task. They had a foundation from an old burnt house, and a landscaped area around it! The new house had to be erected in a short time on the existing foundation. Dmitry and his family had a desire to build a new high-tech house. After careful measurements, a project was made that took into account the old layout, but had a new modern form with interesting innovations! The house has an entrance group where you can sit at a table on cozy evenings and a complex but possible exploitable roof in our lane. To implement such a roof, we called on our knowledge and modern building materials LVL beams, built-up roofing and much more to help. Now in the summer on such a roof you can arrange an unusual dinner or watch the stars at night! In the decoration, our architect also emphasized the minimalistic and graphic high-tech style. Smooth stucco walls with painted planken details add personality to the wooden beams at the entrance. Inside, the house is finished with imitation timber, which is painted in different colors depending on the purpose of the room! Large windows in the living room kitchen overlooking the plot - created the desired effect of illumination and airiness of the space! The house of the Matsuev family has graced our photo gallery in the country architecture section in high-tech style, in the style chosen by bold Customers with excellent taste.

The Krutov family decided to build a spacious house for the whole family!
From the idea to its implementation, Olga and other family members went through several stages! The choice of technology, the long work on the project, the construction of the foundation, the construction of the house with the exterior and then the work on the interior! The frame technology was chosen as energy-saving, prefabricated and high-tech! Why did the Krutovs choose our company? They liked the quality of work at our construction site and the workers who gave a detailed tour! We also worked on the estimate for a long time, combining different finishes, comparing their cost. This made it possible to choose the best option from a wide variety of finishing materials and configurations.
The project was created by an architect friend, but we had to work out the constructive part of it. After that, the most reliable and effective foundation was erected - UWB. Then work began on the box. A frame house with 200 mm insulation along the entire contour and a unique 300 mm roof insulation technology. For the exterior, siding was chosen in a spectacular combination of colors - coffee and cream. The accents are placed thanks to the powerful roof overhangs, interfloor belt and large windows!

Each house is a separate story of creation and implementation! Once we built a house for good people and they recommended us to another good person! Rumyantsev Andrey came to our company with the desire to build a one-story spacious country house with a fireplace for warm family evenings on the site of an old country house ... It was decided to build the house from aerated concrete blocks so that the future country handsome man would please the owner for decades! The customer voiced his wishes for finishing - and we, in turn, brought everything to life. Thanks to the detailed visualization of the project, each element of the exterior decoration is a member of a friendly ensemble! Bavarian masonry, as the final stage of exterior decoration, looks noble and thorough. Without a doubt, such a tandem - aerated concrete and brick can be safely called the best solution in the field of stone housing construction - warm, affordable, beautiful, reliable. Modern technologies have stepped forward so much that such unique configurations become available in a short time, because we built this project during the winter months. The main thing is to have the necessary knowledge and constantly replenish their stock!

When Customers come to us with bright, modern ideas for a future home, we light up doubly! After all, working on a new stylish project is always interesting and a challenge, how to implement all the bold ideas from a constructive point of view, what materials to use? Vladimir bought a plot with picturesque views of the Oka River! Such a view could not be ignored, so a dizzying terrace (51.1 m2) and a large balcony, focused on beauty, became an indispensable attribute of the future home! Vladimir wanted to relax in nature in a wooden house, and it was necessary to build a house in a short time, and the frame construction technology became an ideal solution for such tasks! If we are different, then in everything! The house was made even more spectacular by the vertical finish with an imitation of durable larch timber, painted in natural shades with an accentuated wood texture. Complement the modern look of the house - windows with lamination! It turned out to be an excellent country house, with zest and at the same time incredibly functional.
It all started with an individual project found by the Customer's family on a European site. It was with him that she came to our office for the first time. We made preliminary calculations for the project, conducted a tour of the existing construction site, shook hands and the work began to boil! The architect improved and adapted the project to the site and the Customer's family; the foreman "planted" the house on the site. Based on the fact of geological surveys, it was decided to put the house on bored piles. The frame has grown in a few weeks, then the roof, insulation, exterior finish! During the winter, a house grew on the site. The customer invited a third-party technical supervisor who monitored the process regardless of our multi-stage control. The color scheme for painting the imitation of timber was chosen by our manager and here we have a bright and cozy dream country house of the Pushkov family!
Thanks to the “preserved” summer under a glass cap, it became possible, regardless of the season, to enjoy the juicy greenery of miniature trees and the fragrance of paradise flowers.
A winter garden in a private house, cottage or country house looks like a beautiful toy, a pleasant resting place, an object that emphasizes the status of the owners. In practice, this is a serious engineering solution that requires compliance with the nuances of pre-project preparation, design and construction, and also needs constant care and protection.
The principle of arranging a winter garden with your own hands is both simple and complex, it all depends on the chosen design, frame material, glazing method and other factors.
When we talk about a winter garden, we first of all mean the intermediate zone between the living space and the natural environment. Whereas the greenhouse (a more simplified version - greenhouses) is mainly focused on growing plants in special conditions. As a rule, the greenhouse is located separately from the house - in the garden or.
Like a greenhouse, a winter garden is designed to protect plants and flowers from freezing in autumn and winter. But the greenhouse is mainly aimed at growing certain varieties (for example, oranges, palm trees), maintaining special climatic conditions in which it is physically difficult for a normal person to be constantly physically. Whereas in a winter garden, a rationally selected microclimate positively affects both the well-being of people and the cultivation of plants with a complex (and not very) “character”.
A professionally arranged zone of comfort and relaxation, among the impeccable forms of indoor landscaping, will allow you not to part with the summer even when everything around is covered with snow. You can choose a rational project and build a winter garden with your own hands, but in any case, this will require certain monetary and time costs from the owners of apartments and country houses. Using the advice of experts and observing the required conditions, it is really possible to significantly save costs.
Regardless of the location of the garden, the structural system must be translucent, illuminated, ethereal, beautiful, and also sufficiently reliable and resistant to all kinds of atmospheric (overheating and cooling) and mechanical phenomena.
The design of the winter garden can be:
This or that option will make its own adjustments to the arrangement of various supporting systems.
The diagram shows the ways of constructive implementation of the shape of the winter garden
Rectangular translucent construction in the form of an extension of the winter garden to the house. A universal option and the most common form of a frame with a pitched roof.
Winter garden attached to the corner from the outside of the house. Design with a combined roof - four-beam and gable. A winter garden attached to the inner corner of the house, the so-called "quarter polygon". Extension of the winter garden from the inside of the corner. Rectangular structure with single-pitched roof and extended roof sectionThe configuration of the frame of the winter garden, the drawings are shown in the figure
The winter garden, hidden behind glass or polycarbonate, is able to accumulate a significant amount of heat. Its quantity will be enough in the warm season. But, in order to protect heat-loving plants in the cold season, you need to think over an effective heating system.
There are several types of heating, and each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages, as well as features of installation and operation. The main requirements for the heating system: low cost and optimal heat distribution.
Types of winter garden heating systems
Connection of winter garden heating radiators to the central system.
Advantages:
Flaws:
The principle of the device is to install a fan in the window that communicates with the garden window. Warm air is distilled from the heated room to the garden. Another way: in the outbuilding attached to the winter garden, an air heater is installed and air is supplied through the ducts to the winter garden through a fan.
Advantages:
Flaws:
You can create an optimal heating system by combining several of their types. At the same time, please note that the type of heating system directly affects the choice of the method of air ventilation in the winter garden.
Let's make a reservation right away that the cooling system and the ventilation system of the winter garden are two different things. The air cooled by the air conditioner creates a comfortable environment for a short stay of a person. However, plants that are constantly in the garden require fresh air to be supplied on a regular basis. After all, the air conditioner does not contribute to the saturation of the air with oxygen.
Two ventilation systems can be used in a stand-alone, adjoining (extension) winter garden or a winter garden equipped on a balcony. Material prepared for the site site
Provides for the arrangement of vents or transoms. The total area of the glass doors in the window (transoms, vents) should occupy at least a quarter of the entire area of the garden walls. This is the only way to achieve the required level of oxygen supply. The vents can be opened/closed manually, or can be equipped with automation.
Natural ventilation also includes supply and exhaust ventilation. In this case, at the bottom, along the perimeter of the wall, holes are provided for the inflow of fresh air, and in its upper part or on the roof there are vents for outflow. If double-glazed windows are used as glazing for the winter garden, then a good option is a supply valve for plastic windows.
Air inflow is carried out through the vents, but the outflow is carried out through various fans.
Plants in the winter garden in the winter and cloudy seasons experience a lack of lighting, which negatively affects their growth. Therefore, it is important to provide an acceptable level of additional lighting.
Lamps for the winter garden - the choice affects the growth of plants:
For example: for 5 sq.m. a winter garden with a height of 2.5 m needs 4 metal halide lamps (40 W) or 1 sodium lamp (250 W)
When planning garden lighting, you should consider the opposite effect of its overabundance. In summer, there is too much light, and in order to prevent its harmful effects from occurring, the garden must be protected. Measures to protect the winter garden can be divided into two types:
The habitual watering of plants in pots is unlikely to be effective in a winter garden, because it requires a lot of effort and time.
The construction market offers a variety of automatic irrigation systems that allow mechanized watering of plants. Which, moreover, can be configured for various watering modes. Indeed, in warm weather, the need for moisture increases, and in cold weather, on the contrary, it decreases.
The drip irrigation system for greenhouses and winter gardens has become widespread. In appearance, this is a perforated hose, through its perforation (holes) water is dosed into the soil. Such a system is preferable in that it waters only the roots of plants and does not allow puddles to form. The advantage of an automated drip system is that it is connected to sensors that monitor the level of moisture in the soil.
It must be remembered that some types of plants need special watering - they draw water from the air, so the air needs to be humidified. To do this, equip fountains that perform a moisturizing function and are an element of decor, use mist installations or ultrasonic humidifiers.
The irrigation system involves the installation of a drainage system through which excess water will leave.
In order for all of the above components of the system to work, it is important to consider the method of power supply, the type of electrical wiring, as well as the number and location of sockets and switches.
For plant growth, it is necessary to provide not only an optimal microclimate in the winter garden, but also take care of the quality of the soil and the initial application of fertilizers and nutrients to the soil.
When choosing plants for your winter garden, in addition to your own preferences, you need to be guided by the types and varieties of plants.
Plant types:
At the same time, different types of plants should not be mixed.
In order for the winter oasis of greenery to please you for as long as possible, and for plants and visitors to always feel comfortable, you need to constantly monitor the state of all systems that ensure the life of the garden. As for the decorative design of the winter garden in different rooms of the house, then everyone is guided by their own vision of beauty. involves design in certain styles (modern, classic, hi-tech, country or Japanese style), from which you can choose the direction that suits your spirit.
Thus, it can be noted that the creation and full functioning of the winter garden requires considerable effort. And all engineering systems should be designed in a complex way, taking into account the mutual influence on each other. However, if you take into account all these requirements, you can create such a winter garden with your own hands, which will embody your ideas about beauty and comfort.
The winter garden is a great opportunity to "preserve" at home a little summer, sun and greenery, which is so lacking in our latitudes, with their cold and dullness almost half a year long. This is not only a great place for relaxation and recreation ( green, as you know, has positive psychophysical properties for a person), but also an indicator of a certain status of its owner.
Despite the fact that the winter garden belongs to the most complex type of premises, which will require special knowledge in architecture, engineering and decorative gardening, the use of modern materials and construction techniques to implement a house project with a winter garden will not be too difficult.
Projects of one-story and two-storey houses and cottages with a winter garden may provide for different approaches to their creation and use:
Initially, it is important to decide on the direction where the winter garden will be located, because this will affect the design solutions:
Living in a house with a winter garden is an incredible feeling. It's like a breath of fresh air away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Plants bring additional comfort, the joy of sunlight and give the beauty of life. The winter garden is not just a glass structure, it is both a part of the space and a constructive part. When designing houses with a winter garden, you need to take into account many details so that the joy of owning a plant oasis does not turn into a headache. Let's see some successful projects of houses with a winter garden, analyze the finds and omissions of architects.
The dream of a country house has long become a reality. Therefore, our editors offer you several architectural projects of houses with a winter garden for consideration.
The peculiarity of this project is the exquisite facades. On the ground floor, residents will find a spacious living room, a swimming pool and what this review was written for - a winter garden. By separating the comfort zones with a glass partition with colored double-glazed windows, an unusual play of light is created and maintained in the house. The floors are connected by an arched staircase. On the second floor there is a second living room and a playroom. A spiral staircase leads from the second floor to the attic, where a studio with a fireplace and a bar opens up.
Project characteristics
In this project, the architect managed to realize the idea of a comfortable, rational house with a wonderful winter garden. It is ideal for a comfortable family life. The bay window of the main facade forms a wonderful image of the house, where the double-height living room is located. The winter garden is located between the kitchen and the living room. On the second floor, you can find a second private living room, which has become the center of the layout. There are also two bedrooms, a bathroom and a bathroom.
Ensemble Characteristics
This project is suitable for the construction of a cottage for the seasonal residence of a small family. The project is optimal and logical in its layout. The winter garden included in the project is an octagonal room, and this gives a special originality to the architectural ensemble. In total, the project has 2 floors, one of which is attic. On the 1st floor there is a fireplace, a kitchen-dining room with a transition to a winter garden, a living room and a sauna. A beautiful staircase leads upstairs. On the top floor there are three bedrooms, a bathroom and a small room.
Project characteristics
And finally, let's move on to the consideration of the final project.
This project is the choice of successful and wealthy people. There is nothing superfluous in it. A house built according to this project is perfect for busy people who value their time and comfort. The living room and kitchen-dining room are connected into a single space, which smoothly flows into the winter garden. A beautiful staircase leads to the second floor, where the bedrooms are located, decorated with a terrace and a veranda.
Project characteristics
In this selection, we tried to consider the most popular options for arranging winter gardens in country houses. We hope that one of the projects will definitely hook you with its architecture, beauty or functionality.
With gratitude to the whole team of the company "Architect"! Having decided to build a house, the construction company was not chosen for a long time, they immediately turned to the "Architect" (25 years on the market !!!). The manager Salikov Andrei helped us a lot in choosing a project, who patiently and scrupulously took into account all our wishes, competently explained the technical features of the construction, and offered additional services (taking into account our budget). He gave us hope that everything will be fine. (In the future, at all stages of construction, he kept a "hand on the pulse"). We signed Agreement No. P0104840-IK in November 2017. Construction is scheduled for the end of April. For half a year we were worried about what would happen and how. As it turned out, the unrest was in vain, construction began on the same day as according to the contract. They brought, in stages, the material (all of excellent quality!). I would like to note all the working teams for the efforts of professionalism and knowledge of their business. These are the foundation workers: foreman Alexey, foreman Artem. Carpenters: foreman Kustov Nikolay, foreman Skryabin Ivan (special gratitude for professional skill and organizational skills), Sergey Oleg, Alexey. The house was built a week ahead of schedule. Beautiful, big bright, warm, cozy. How dreamed! From the whole family with respect! Alexander, Ludmila.
We looked at the projects of houses for ourselves for a long time, and for a long time there was not much clarity. They rushed between the house of aerated concrete, frame and even brick. But we obviously would not have pulled the last option, and in general, everything is more difficult with money now. So we decided to stop at a frame cottage, especially since now, in my opinion, more and more of these are being built. Specifically, our house is called Karelia-2, and we immediately liked it with a good layout. Plus, there are bay windows, a balcony - and all this gives not only beauty, but also convenient in practice. In addition, if necessary, then it will not be difficult to attach something else to the house. The framework allows this with minimal effort. We immediately discussed the nuances of the order with the managers. For example, he advised to additionally strengthen the foundation due to difficult soils and additionally insulate the floors. So we actually did. The cost of course has grown, but we easily fit into the planned 2 million. But the construction itself went off without too much red tape. Periodically came to watch the work, but even without that everything went fine. They handed over the house to us on time, at the same time they signed all the necessary documents
Good afternoon! I would like to express my GREAT thanks to the team that built the Karelia-2BK cottage for us (laminated timber). - Sarenkov Ivan Alekseevich - Sarenkov Vasily Alekseevich - Losev Alexander Vladimirovich You can definitely say that you are a master of your craft! Firstly, all the work was done on time and, most importantly, QUALITATIVELY! Secondly, all issues that arose during the construction process were resolved and agreed competently and quickly! They built very carefully, there was no debris and clutter on the site. Thank you very much for your excellent explanations and recommendations during the construction process. And in general, the whole team is just very good, kind, conscientious and decent people! Even during construction it was a pleasure to come to the dacha! I wish everyone that your future home was built by such professionals!!! THANKS! Sincerely, Andrey Nikolaevich
