This project will appeal to everyone who loves experimental housing with non-standard architecture. The living space of the house has a pitched roof. Such an architectural solution has a number of advantages, both from an aesthetic and practical point of view.
Among other things, the house has a large terrace, which in turn is located under the second, independent roof slope.
In this project, the intention was to combine compactness and functionality. So that it was not just a country house, but a house that is pleasant to come to for the weekend, a house in which everything is conveniently designed, a house for the soul.
Consider a shed roof from an architectural point of view. Simplicity of lines, clarity of forms, conciseness and completeness. In the Baltic countries, such architectural solutions are found everywhere. People love and appreciate simplicity and style, not only in architecture.
Now consider a shed roof from a practical point of view. The first thing that comes to mind is the speed of construction and the simplicity of structures, which leads to cheaper roofing. Moreover, if you do not plan to live in the house permanently, why pay extra money. Shed roofs are also well ventilated, which reduces the heat loss of the house and increases the durability of the roof itself.
Let's look at the layout of the living space.
As I already mentioned, the project of our house is equipped with a terrace, which is more than 16 square meters in area. Entering the house, we find ourselves in the hallway, in which there is a small window. It will fill the room with light and visually enlarge the space. Entrance hall area 4 square meters.
To the left of the entrance we have a living room, 11.2 square meters. As you can see on the plan, it is equipped with a compact,. A huge plus of this room is a large panoramic window. Perhaps, due to energy efficiency, such a window opening is not good, but the living room will always be spacious and light. If we take into account the small area of the house, then heat loss through such a window will not greatly affect the economic component.
To the right of the entrance we see the bedroom. The area is 11.2 square meters. The same panoramic window as in the living room will have an advantageous effect on the space of the room.
And of course we didn't forget about the bathroom. I am a supporter of the fact that even in a small house there should be a warm bathroom. An area of 3.7 square meters allows you to place a shower, toilet, sink and top-loading washing machine.
Let's summarize: the living area of the house is 30 and a little meters, here we have placed all the premises necessary for life. In addition, the house has a large terrace, where, in the summer, you can swing on an armchair, reading the updates of our site -
In which you can not live all year round.
The layout of the house 8x7 with a terrace for seasonal living
Usually in such a house is stored:
- Garden tools;
- Old clothes;
- Various accessories.
To get a good layout of a holiday home, it is necessary to develop its plan in all details. According to the plan, it is determined:
- Number of rooms in the house;
- Room dimensions;
- Necessary furniture;
- Basic equipment.
When planning a house for seasonal living, first of all, the maximum allowable dimensions of the house are calculated, taking into account all family members.
Project and layout of a 6x6 country house with an attic
The main aspects of the layout of the house
Since they are mainly in the summer in the seasonal house, the application of the principles that are followed when is not always appropriate. In the city house, according to the plan, they try to branch out the communication rooms as much as possible. When performed, they strive to reduce them as much as possible. To do this, drawings are developed where different functional areas are combined, they become a single room for a seasonal building.
For example, the veranda and the entrance hall are combined, the living room is connected to the common room.
From practice, it became known that most of all people visit open spaces in summer houses.
The layout of the attic house for seasonal living
Most often, the owners of comfortable cottages in such rooms receive guests or relax in rocking chairs.
open areas
The original project of a house with an attic for seasonal living
This will allow you to equip several more rooms directly under the roof. Based on, make open. Its lower step is mounted directly on the veranda. The remaining free area under the stairs is suitable for a variety of purposes:
- Storage of household tools;
- Utility cabinet installations.
In the attic, many owners equip the bedroom. Beds are installed along the walls, since the height from floor to ceiling in such places exceeds 1.7 meters.
There is free space between the vertical of the wall and the roof. It can be occupied by a small pantry by installing light partitions. Sometimes cabinets are built in here, in which they store:
- clothes;
- Bedding sets;
- Household accessories.
bathrooms
If the most important communications are carried out at the summer cottage: water supply, sewerage, drain, then when developing the layout of the summer house, the drawings provide. Since living in the house will be seasonal, that is, non-permanent, the area of \u200b\u200bsanitary facilities should not be very large. It is completely impractical to mount in a house. It will require a lot of free space, so it will be much better to install an ordinary shower.
A similar approach requires the arrangement of the toilet. For him, an autonomous sewage system is specially made.
For the construction of a house that is intended for temporary residence, for example, a country house, round logs are considered the best material. However, it is necessary not to forget about the installation of heating.
An example of the location of a bathroom on the plan of a house with a large terrace
The best option for such heating planning is the supply of natural gas. Unfortunately, this is not possible everywhere. Therefore, you can use alternative options. A Russian stove will warm the house well, it will be warm in the room from a simple potbelly stove.
Someone chooses a country house as a way to take a break from the hustle and bustle, retire in nature, forget the bustling metropolis. Others want to buy a house for permanent residence: clean air, tranquility and the opportunity to always go out into nature, which is much more convenient than living in an apartment.
Houses for seasonal or everyday living are distinguished, most often, by the material from which the building is built, the heating system and the characteristics of communications. Properly selected material guarantees almost three-quarters of the heat savings in the house. This is quite important for permanent suburban residence. A house for seasonal living is usually heated by electric batteries or simple heating boilers.
If you are going buy land in the suburbs inexpensively
and get a country house, then you should decide: why are you building it. Carefully consider the issues of organizing heating, equipping rooms for a toilet, a bathroom. You will have to choose materials for construction, decoration and decide which is better to give preference to from a variety of options. Often this is not easy for the average person. But at a reasonable price or even free of charge, a contractor will help to handle this.
Design features of houses: foundation, walls and roof
When you decide on the location of the house, think about what you want to buy (or build). More recently, many houses in the suburbs were timbered. Occasionally stood out brick. There were also "filled" walls: the walls consisted of external and internal shields, and slag was poured between them for thermal insulation. Most of the listed houses are still preserved, but surrounded by modern buildings.
Quite often now there are stone houses. These include various brick, foam concrete, aerated concrete, just concrete (with removable and non-removable formwork); wooden log houses from logs, houses with rounded logs; houses from ordinary sawn timber. They also use profiled or "grooved" timber, glued timber; sometimes there is also an insulated beam - narrow, strongly elongated wooden sandwich panels. A technology similar to sandwich panels is also used in the construction of frame wooden houses.
Someone praises a log house that is lined with bricks. Another likes aerated concrete. Carpenters erecting a log cabin at their neighbors spit at the mention of rounded logs. A house for permanent residence is built by any of the listed types of materials. But it is more important to build it with the help of reliable qualified builders and in compliance with all modern technologies. Then it will be a good protection for residents from frost, blizzards or rains, and will not ruin the owners with the cost of ownership and heating costs.
With good care, the building will last longer, so it will come in handy for grandchildren. It is technically possible to build a house that retains heat in the winter from weekend to weekend. This is a building that meets the standards of a "passive house", a well-insulated building, with a strip foundation that is laid well below the freezing depth of the soil in winter or with a basement.
Many townspeople do not recognize a frame house as a house and are instinctively disposed towards a stone one. Stone houses (even from relatively inexpensive foam blocks) are not the best solution for seasonal living. Build a stone house always more expensive than a wooden one of the same area. After all, you will need, for example, a more expensive and reliable foundation.
Wooden and frame houses usually withstands a bored pile or column foundation, screw pile or shallow-depth tape. All of them are suitable for the soils of the Moscow region. Many specialists - builders and realtors consider any type of wooden house to be the best for seasonal living. It differs from a house of permanent residence in the thickness of the walls, the device for thermal insulation, and sometimes an unheated bathroom.
The roof - one of the most important in houses - is often tried to be "finished according to the residual principle." But there are principles for determining its optimal type with a conventional pitched roof. The roof of a house with seasonal residence is often left in winter without constant supervision, regular snow removal. No one will notice a leak or damage to the water drainage system by ice growths in time.
A house for permanent residence is best heated with a gas boiler. This will save a lot of money on maintaining a comfortable temperature in the home. However, you need to know how connect gas to a private house in accordance with all the rules and what documents will be required for this.
A residential home is often connected to a public water supply. A seasonal home needs a well or well. The water pipeline in the winter at frosts is threatened by "defrosting of pipes". Especially in a small area of the exit from the ground - the entrance to the heated room. They often make cable heating there, which does not allow the pipes to be thawed in this place. In temporary residences, water from the water pipes is usually drained for the winter.
If the pipes of the "summer" water supply are buried shallowly in the ground, the installation must be carried out very carefully. It is important that when draining the water from the pipes, it leaves completely and does not remain in the bends. Polypropylene pipes are popular for the installation of water pipes. They have greater elasticity than metal and metal-plastic ones. Because of this, there is less risk of destruction from freezing water in them, if this happens suddenly.
It makes sense to make a "summer" water supply from polypropylene pipes connected by compression fittings. This will allow you to easily replace faulty parts of the system or change its configuration. And the pipes of the "all-weather" water supply, buried in the ground, are best connected by welding.
Sewerage in individual houses with waste processing devices using special bacteria have become sufficiently available only since the mid-90s. There are two types of septic tanks: with soil filtration or deep biological filtration. The latter are much more efficient with a uniform flow of effluents (but less suitable for seasonal use). Septic tanks - "cesspools of the 21st century" - sealed containers for draining by gravity drains from the house. When placing a septic tank on the site, provide for the possibility of access to it by a special vehicle to pump out the contents.
Concluding our brief review, it can be argued that two "almost identical" houses, differing in the permanent residence, can be completely different in terms of technical and consumer characteristics.
There are many such "trifles", which opens up the possibility of discussing other interesting topics in the future.

House 6x8 for non-permanent residence: options
Greetings, forum users! There is a task to erect a house for the purpose of periodic (rather frequent) visits, including in winter. It is not expected to live in it permanently. The size seems to be about 6x8. I currently have a budget in the region of 500 thousand rubles, in the future I will gradually be able to allocate more. I'm going to build by ordering material on my own, and hiring a team to do the work. It is important to build up this winter, but there is no task to immediately complete the house so that it can be used (although if such an opportunity exists, then great). Region - Leningrad region.
The question is which construction method to choose. At the moment I see three options:
As far as I understand, concrete blocks in the modern world are placed on glue, and not on mortar, which excludes cold bridges. Therefore, taking thicker (and/or denser) blocks, will we get a structure that does not require finishing (or the ability to postpone finishing until later)?
I read on the forum (a one-story house with an inverted (flat) roof) was built, the block was laid on its side, I don’t remember the thickness, somewhere under 60 cm, they put it on glue, and still the seams in windy weather siphoned a little. So the façade. (plaster or whatever you choose) necessarily, you can not immediately. Blocks, according to the assurance of the NIIGazoblok (the name was distorted!), You can not finish it at all! They do not pull moisture, they do not care about rain, especially if the roof overhangs do not "heal" and make from 60 cm.Regarding heating: a gas pipeline is being built in the village, respectively, there are thoughts to organize permanent gas heating.
That's great. Good help to get started.
