All panel apartment buildings belong to one or another series. The difference between one series and another is not so great, almost all apartments are of the same type and have only a few layout options.
The famous "Khrushchev" (series 1-447), the later P-44 or 83 series - they all have almost the same arrangement of rooms, which has the only goal - compactness.
Small discrepancies are not significant, since they do not create a significant difference.
5 floors
Panel 5-storey houses belong to earlier series, who directly replaced the "Khrushchev". The main difference between the layout was the absence of walk-through rooms.. In addition, all rooms now had doors, i. for residents there was an opportunity for privacy, solitude.
There were corridors from which the entrance to the rooms was carried out. At the same time, separate bathrooms appeared - a bathroom and a toilet, combined into a single block, but having a partition between them with separate entrances.
9 floors
The increase in the number of floors set the task of equipping the houses with elevators, for which it was necessary to expand the stairwells. Besides, the emergence of 9-storey panel houses required the presence of garbage chutes, also requiring a certain volume, as well as utility rooms.
All these innovations have caused the need to change the layout of apartments. Adjacent balconies appeared, connected by 4 into one block, wider stairwells caused the expansion of the corridors.
Reference! The changes were not so significant.
Since in any case, binding to the dimensions of a typical reinforced concrete panel did not give much room for imagination. Most of the series of 9-storey houses are modernized projects of 5-storey houses.
Is it possible to reschedule?
Redevelopment in a panel house is quite possible, but with some reservations. The fact is that there are load-bearing walls that are the supporting structures of the building.
There are conventional partitions (so-called self-supporting) that can be changed or removed without compromising the strength of the structure. Any changes in the layout of the rooms should not affect the load-bearing walls.
In general, there are methods of redevelopment with intervention in their condition - tying newly made openings with a channel, strengthening, etc., but all of them are doubtful in terms of structural strength, and if the apartment is on the lower floors of a multi-storey building, then they are completely undesirable.
That's why the best option is not to touch the load-bearing walls, especially since most of the options for redevelopment of typical apartments do not require this.
Important! Independent transfer of capital walls is prohibited! The redevelopment must be coordinated accordingly and carried out by professionals.
Besides, changes should not in any way infringe on the rights of residents of other apartments. For example, the transfer of heating radiators on the balcony is prohibited, since the design of the house does not provide for heating balconies, resulting in an extra consumption of thermal energy, which is not enough for residents of apartments located further down the riser.
Their batteries will become colder, and You can get a fine for illegal redevelopment with an order to return everything as it was. It is forbidden:
- dismantling or removal of ventilation ducts.
- Combining bathrooms without hydro and sound insulation measures.
- Combining balconies, loggias with rooms or kitchens.
- Works with load-bearing walls without reinforcement.
Also, you can not transfer gas (kitchen) and a bathroom to any other part of the apartment.
Apartment options
At first sight, There are a lot of options for redevelopment of the apartment..
But the restrictions on changing the state of the bearing walls and the general expediency of the whole action reduce the number of possible options to a minimum. You will not succeed without technical knowledge about the layout of apartments.
Most often, some expansion of the area is carried out due to the partial or complete removal of partitions, or, conversely, the creation of partitions that separate the sleeping area from the living room (for example, in one-room apartments). You can consider some options.
1-room
For one-room apartments the most relevant way is to demolish the partition between the kitchen and the room, causing its area to expand significantly. The disadvantage of this change is that the kitchen becomes part of the room., all odors, steam and other related parts are visible.
Another change is to install a partition across the room, resulting in a small bedroom and living room.
Reference! This decision is caused by the lack of space and the need to provide rest for family members (especially if there is a child).
Besides, the toilet and bathroom are combined into a single room. The main reason is the need to install a large bath and place a washing machine, which are impossible in conventional bathrooms.
3-room
To make redevelopment in such an apartment, you need to know what the layout of a 3-room apartment in a panel house is.
In this case a common solution is the demolition of some partitions to get more common space. Combine:
- two adjoining rooms into one larger one;
- kitchen with a room;
- bathroom - bathroom and toilet in one room.
Most cases of redevelopment of three-room housing are due to the desire to expand the space of the apartment, to make it visually more voluminous.
Important! Combining gasified kitchens with rooms is prohibited! It will be necessary to install a partition (sliding, accordion, etc.) or turn off the gas and replace the stove with an electric one.
4-room
The main problem of four-room apartments is small rooms.. Most of the four-room apartments are the same three-room apartments, in which one of the rooms is divided in half. Therefore, in addition to the usual events - combining a kitchen and a room, a bathroom, etc. - merged adjacent rooms.
They connect two, sometimes three rooms to get one, larger size and capacity. Such a decision, most often, is dictated by the need to place furniture, household appliances, exercise equipment, the dimensions of which are not suitable for typical apartments. However, the opposite is often the case.
Coordination and registration
To agree on the redevelopment, you will need to create a work plan with sketches before and after work. The plan is created by a special organization. The cost of creating a plan is different for each type of layout.
The plan is approved by the architecture department, followed by a visit to the BTI to issue a new technical passport for the apartment. Once you receive your passport, you can start work.
Important! Inconsistent redevelopment will significantly complicate the sale or inheritance of the apartment.
The redevelopment of apartments is a measure that is partly forced, but at the same time creative, requiring imagination and the ability to see something new and original in the familiar.
Large household appliances, furniture, photos of apartments decorated with plasterboard structures seen on the net - there are a lot of reasons that encourage you to get to work. Compliance with technical requirements and coordination in the relevant organizations will help to avoid problems in the future.

Apartment redevelopment. What is possible and what is not?
The best place to start this article is by recognizing the fact that not every redevelopment can be approved, and there are many reasons for this. There are activities that are strictly prohibited by housing legislation, and therefore it is simply impossible to “drag” them through the approval procedure.
In addition, there are a number of restrictions and norms - construction, sanitary and others, which are regulated by SNiPs (building norms and rules, as they were called earlier) and SP (sets of rules, as they are called now) and other documents.
These restrictions include recommendations on the minimum area of residential premises, which should be of interest to us in the context of coordinating a redevelopment project. After all, only a correctly developed project can be agreed upon, and for this the designer must be familiar with the rules and regulations. By the way, for this there are SRO design tolerances.
Minimum apartment area
To begin with, let's go through the norms of the minimum area of the apartments themselves, which are currently used in the construction of apartment buildings. For a one-room apartment, it will be 28 meters, for a two-room apartment - 44, for a three-room apartment - 56, for a four-room apartment - 70, for a five-room apartment - 84 and, finally, for a six-room "estate" - 103 square meters.
In our practice, there were quite different living quarters. However, most often you have to deal with apartments with the number of living rooms from one to three, and we will focus on them.
It should be noted that the minimum area and number of rooms in the apartment depends on the climatic region in which the building is located. For example, Moscow and the Moscow region belong to climatic region II.
Minimum floor space
According to SP 54.13330.2016, for a one-room apartment, special requirements are set for the number of square meters in a living room - 14. Whereas in two- or more-room dwellings the bar is raised higher - up to 16 for a common room. The size of the bedroom for all apartments must be at least eight square meters.
For the kitchen, minimum values of 8 square meters are set and, when it comes to zoning the room, 6 meters for the kitchen area in the dining room. In apartments, it is allowed to arrange kitchens and niche kitchens with an area of at least 5 square meters. m.
Other standards apply to attic rooms: for example, kitchens and bedrooms in them must be at least seven square meters.
Note that in this case we are talking about the size of the premises in apartments provided under a social tenancy agreement. For owned apartments, a separate set of rules indicating the minimum area of \u200b\u200bthe premises has not been adopted, so options are possible here.
In addition to the area, the living room must meet other parameters. One of them is insolation (natural light). In other words, in accordance with current regulations, the sun should look into the living room. In principle, no one will forbid you to use a room of 8 square meters without a source of natural light as a bedroom, but in the documents for the apartment it will be listed as an auxiliary room.
Separately, it is worth talking about the height of the premises. In the climatic zone to which Moscow belongs, the minimum distance from flooring to ceiling in the living room and kitchen should be at least two and a half meters, while mezzanines, corridors and other non-residential premises should have a height of at least 210 centimeters. In attic rooms, the height may be slightly lower.
If you are just going to or have already carried out the redevelopment of the apartment, you can always contact our consultants with your questions by phone. If necessary, we can develop a project with a technical opinion and carry out the entire redevelopment approval process. Our contacts - .

44Modern youth may find it difficult to answer who Khrushchev was, but the name of the buildings created at that time is known to the majority - these are "Khrushchev". Initially, they were built as temporary housing, so the level of comfort of such a dwelling leaves much to be desired. A radical measure will help to minimize the problems of organizing space in such apartments - redevelopment of the "Khrushchev" into 3 rooms.
Redevelopment will allow you to change the apartment without moving, making it comfortable for all family members to live
From comfortable apartments in new buildings, “Khrushchevs” differ primarily in the low ceiling height and the small area of \u200b\u200bthe rooms. Many designers are puzzling over how to create a place for comfortable family living from the most compressed space. However, even such shortcomings do not reduce the popularity of "Khrushchev" in the secondary housing market. This is mainly due to the low price category of such apartments. And if you also approach the issue of repairs wisely, then from any “Khrushchev” you can create housing that is not inferior in terms of comfort to new buildings.
Redevelopment is a radical, but sometimes the only way to make housing comfortable
If we talk about the redevelopment of the "Khrushchev", it is worth noting an important advantage: all the partitions in the apartment are not load-bearing, which greatly simplifies the procedure for agreeing and carrying out repair work. Bathrooms can be either separate or combined.
The “lucky ones” living in such apartments are aware of the difficulties of placing furniture and household appliances in a small space. That is why it is worth considering several options for transforming a small apartment and creating space for living. A rational approach to repair will help you make an excellent apartment out of a typical “Khrushchev” that fully meets your wishes and taste.
Redevelopment of the apartment with the creation of a large living room and a separate bedroom behind mirrored sliding partitions
How to start remodeling
Oddly enough, the beginning of the repair in this case will begin with bureaucracy.
Important! In order to start redevelopment of the apartment, it is necessary to coordinate all actions with the city and housing authorities.
Before going to the right authorities, prepare a redevelopment plan for approval.
The first thing to do before a radical renovation is a redevelopment plan.
If the alterations are not agreed with the BTI, then later you can face big problems when exchanging, selling and donating an apartment, and even get a fine.
To make everything go smoothly, order a finished project from a licensed architect who will take into account all the technical nuances and your wishes. Redevelopment of "Khrushchev" into 3 rooms can be implemented through partial or complete dismantling, transfer of walls, including doorways.
Since in most cases the internal walls of "Khrushchev" are not load-bearing, many believe that coordination is not required for the work, but this opinion is erroneous. Unauthorized demolition of partitions can lead to violations of construction, sanitary and legal requirements. As a rule, load-bearing walls include the outer walls of apartments, as well as inter-apartment walls and beams.
Documents for redevelopment of "Stalinka" into 3 rooms or "Khrushchev"
In order to avoid legal sanctions for unauthorized redevelopment of an apartment, it is necessary to provide a list of mandatory documents to the regulatory authorities. These include:
- technical passport for housing. It has a standard form, is obtained from the BTI authorities, contains the necessary certificates, an approved plan;
- a finished project created with the participation of a licensed design organization;
- an approved technical plan confirming that the redevelopment will not lead to a violation of the integrity and stability of the building;
- certificate from the fire service;
- documents confirming the right to own housing;
- an agreement on supervision of construction work with an organization that has a license for controlling activities.
This list is not final, however, the described documentation is the most important issue when planning repairs in Khrushchev. The commission deciding on the possibility of redevelopment may consider it necessary to consider additional documentation, for example, a certificate from the public utility.
Plan with care
The most common problem of "Khrushchev" is very small bathrooms, therefore, with a total renovation, the owners often plan to expand these areas. However, at the same time, one should not forget about sanitary standards, which state that it is impossible to expand the toilet and bathroom at the expense of the space of the kitchen and living rooms.
Attention! The increase in this zone should be carried out only at the expense of the corridor, storage room and other free spaces.
You can increase the area of \u200b\u200bthe toilet and bathroom only at the expense of the corridor
The owners of apartments in Khrushchevs are particularly inconvenienced by the small kitchen area. Therefore, the expansion of its area often comes to the fore in the implementation of large-scale repairs.
And in this matter, “pitfalls” can await you, because most apartments have a gas pipeline system, which will not allow you to expand the kitchen space at the expense of a bathroom or living rooms. To implement your ideas, you can go the following ways:
- replace the gas stove with an electric one;
- to separate the kitchen area from the living area using a sliding partition;
- reduce the area of \u200b\u200bthe corridor or pantry.
Redevelopment of the premises of a 3-room "Khrushchev" gives much more space than apartments with less living space. To make a successful redevelopment of "Khrushchev" 3 into rooms, check out the photos of finished projects.
How to create a comfortable space
If you are in the mood for a global redevelopment of the “Khrushchev” into 3 rooms, then consider the adjacent options in the photo and clearly decide on the plan of your own living space.
Important! Consider all individual preferences, hobbies, furniture and equipment that have already been purchased and planned to be placed.
Only in this way it will be possible to properly plan the repair work and the purchase of the necessary materials. In order not to run into problems when installing furniture, immediately think about where each element will be located.
For "Khrushchev" ideal classic interior in a minimalist style.
To maximize the space, you can combine several rooms into one. Sliding partitions will help you create a cozy space and separate the living and sleeping areas.
A good effect is the combination of the hall and the corridor. To comply with hygiene standards in the room, it is necessary to perform zoning by laying various floor coverings. For example, easy-to-clean tiles are laid in the corridor, and the room is lined with carpet.
Separately, it is worth touching on the topic of integrating the kitchen with the living room. Experts do not advise to completely combine these zones, it is better to create a light movable partition, or to separate these zones using color schemes.
Large sliding doors allow you to visually enlarge the space without uniting the rooms.
Built-in appliances will help to significantly increase the usable area. The kitchen, installed around the perimeter of even a small room, will leave enough space for a dining table.
Installing a shower cabin will help save space in the bathroom. So, if you did not know where to put the washing machine, this alteration will create enough space for it to be installed.
Having decided to re-plan 3 rooms of the "Khrushchev", check out the photos of ready-made projects, perhaps from them you will get ideas for the planned renovation.
I like
Various options for redevelopment were considered using an opening in the wall, which was provided for technological needs. The kitchen, which was supposed to remain isolated in the initial version, lost the partition as a result, which allowed daylight to penetrate the corridor and, reflected from the mirror, increase its illumination.
Living room
The passage from the hallway to the living room is through sliding doors with frosted glass inserts. The main item in the living room is a large sofa, assembled from separate modules. It stands near a wall finished with MagDecor decorative plaster. In order to emphasize its beauty, a cornice was placed around it, behind which the backlight was hidden. Opposite the sofa there is a storage system in which a large aquarium is integrated - the owners of the apartment are fond of breeding fish.
Kitchen
The layout of the kitchen is very ergonomic: a work surface with a sink on top and a dishwasher under it is in the center of the wall, on the sides there are two high columns for appliances and storage. The lower tier of cabinets and columns are in “gold cherry” color, the upper one is white, glossy, which makes the kitchen lighter and visually larger.
Along the window is another work surface. It is quite wide, with a built-in hob and extractor fan, which can be easily removed inside the table if you do not need to use it. The working surface ends with a bar counter adjacent at an angle of 90 degrees. Four people can easily fit behind it. The floor of the kitchen area, as well as the backsplash on the wall above the work surface, are lined with Italian tiles from the Base collection of the Fap Ceramiche factory.
Bedroom
The loggia adjacent to the parents' bedroom was insulated, and a place for reading and relaxing was organized there - a cozy armchair, a floor lamp and original shelves for books. In addition, a spacious dressing room appeared next to the bedroom - 3 sq. m.
The head of the bed adjoins the wall, finished with wood - exactly the same as on the floor. Behind the false ceiling is a backlight. On the adjacent wall, two high mirrors are fixed, on top of each of them there is a sconce: this scheme allows you to increase the illumination and create the illusion of expanding the space.
Children's
The design of the 3-room apartment provides for a separate nursery with its own storage systems - a large wardrobe and a spacious chest of drawers. The crib for the baby was made to order, as was the wooden frame above it - a light canopy was fixed on it and decorations were hung.
Lighting in the play area is provided by spotlights built into the ceiling, the center of the room is marked with a Skygarden suspension, designed by Marcel Wanders - very romantic and delicate, in the form of a hemisphere, with stucco molding inside. A large long pile carpet gives the nursery coziness and warmth.
Hallway
A large closet, which houses a washing machine, a refrigerator, as well as compartments for storing clothes, shoes, and household items, has become a unifying design element of a 3-room apartment.
An interesting shelving appeared in the entrance area, imitating a staircase to the second floor. In its open shelves, you can place books, magazines, small decor items, and larger ones, such as vases, can be placed directly on the steps. Both the floor and the wall behind the false staircase are made of the same type of wood. There is a built-in backlight between the wall panels.
bathroom
Bathroom decoration - strict and restrained, in two colors: ivory and dark brown. Wall and floor covering - Italian tiles FAP Ceramiche Base. The toilet is hanging, above it is a false box, equipped with lighting. It is tiled by the same factory. The wall behind the washbasin is completely mirrored, which complicates the space and makes the bathroom visually larger.
