Distinctive features of American cottages

Mansions built in the American style require a complete arrangement of the surrounding area: dividing the space into zones (play area, barbecue area, garden, etc.) and well-groomed lawns. This makes the area ideal for relaxing with family or friends.

Features that distinguish American-style houses:

• symmetry of the building,
• attached garage,
• extensive backyard area,
• veranda or terrace,
• low-rise (1-2 floors).

As for the interior, it is characterized by a strict and laconic design using 100% safe and environmentally friendly materials. The entire layout is carried out according to the principle of open space.

We sorted it out in past messages. Now let's look at the layout of American houses.

IN American homes you almost never see a hallway or a corridor. Instead, all entrance doors lead directly to the living room or other living room. You can enter the house not only through the front door. Most often there are at least two or three entrance doors. Front door or façade. back door(usually glass) leads to the back patio. The third door is to the garage. Sometimes a door to the outside can be found in the most unusual place, for example in a toilet. This is explained quite simply - so that you can go to the toilet from the pool without entering the house.

When you ask an American about the size of a house, you will almost always hear three parameters - the number of bedrooms, the number of bathrooms, and total area. For example, 3/2 1600 sq. ft. means that this is a house with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a size of about 150 sq. m.

Private rooms

The interior space of American houses is divided into a private zone and a public zone. The private zone primarily includes bedrooms. The bedrooms are divided into a “master bedroom” and all other bedrooms. A separate bedroom is provided to the parent couple and each adult family member. Children of the same sex, up to a certain age (12 years old), can share one bedroom, and then get their own. For example, a family of 4 will almost always live in a house with 3-4 bedrooms. The bedroom must have a window. If a room does not have a window, then it cannot be a bedroom. Also, almost always the bedroom should have a built-in wardrobe or storage room.

The master room is the largest bedroom, it usually has a walk-in closet, or even two dressing rooms s, and almost always has its own separate bathroom with toilet and bath. IN expensive houses, the bathroom in the master room can be very fancy, with a jacuzzi, several washbasins, fancy showers, etc.

The remaining bedrooms usually have wardrobe cabinets smaller sizes. The remaining bedrooms may not have their own toilet and bathroom, and they can combine one toilet/bathroom for 2 bedrooms.

Enough for children's bathrooms typical layout this is washbasin>toilet>bathroom. Also, very often lower washbasins, toilets, and bathtubs are installed in children's bathrooms.

Here's an example of a typical low-cost plan American home.

Sometimes there is a configuration where the toilet has two doors, and access is possible from two different bedrooms (this is called a Jack and Jill Bathroom).

There is almost never a chandelier on the ceiling of a bedroom. Often instead of a chandelier there is a fan (with or without a lamp). And the main lighting in bedrooms, as a rule, is not very bright, and is arranged using spotlights or floor lamps.

Public rooms

If the house is two-story, then the private zone is located on the second floor, and on the first there will be a public zone - kitchen, living room, hall, dining room. If the house is one-story, then the public area will be in the center. Also, one room can be reserved for an office or library. The basement, if there is one, will be equipped as a library, gym, bar or game room.

The public area is usually not divided into separate rooms, instead, the entire space is open and divided only by arches, partitions, and shelving. The kitchen from the dining room is most often separated only by a bar counter or not separated at all. For example, on this plan, the family room, dining room, living room and kitchen are actually combined into one space. It is worth remembering that in English, the word room means both a room with 4 walls and just a place/space, so a dining room can be either a dining room or just a place for a table.

In addition, half of the bathroom is often in the public area. What is half a bathroom? This is a toilet with a hand washbasin so that guests do not have to go to the toilet through the bedrooms.

A patio is not only welcome, but considered a must. You can arrange a nursery there playground, a small garden, there are often swimming pools, and there will almost always be a place for a barbecue.

Auxiliary or work premises:
For storing things there are ba large number of built-in wardrobes, storage rooms, a basement and attic equipped for storage, and a spacious garage attached to the house. The washing machine is installed not in the bathroom or in the kitchen, but in a special room for washing. Sometimes they are placed in the garage. Linen can also be dried and ironed here.

You almost never see wallpaper on the walls inside American homes. Internal walls almost always painted. Light and plain walls dominate

Separately worth mentioning interior doors. In addition to ordinary doors with hinges, American homes are very great variety other options:
1. Barn door, moves sideways on a rail.

2. Folding doors are usually used for closets and other utility rooms.

3. Sliding doors

4. Pocket doors that go into the wall are also common.

A few more different plans

The origins of the American style originate in the old European houses- since after emigrating to the United States, the British, Germans, Italians, Poles and other inhabitants of the old world imported their architectural styles and directions that first took root and then began to develop independently. It is the old European architecture, and especially the English projects of the Victorian era, that is the foundation American style projects that combine simplicity and functionality. As a rule, American-style houses have light shades, large windows that provide the project with natural light, and a spacious covered terrace.

American house layout

The classic layout of American houses also has some distinctive features. The rooms are usually large and spacious; as a rule, the kitchen area is combined with the dining room and living room. It is envisaged that such a house will have a wardrobe, laundry room, children's room, office and personal bathrooms. American-style houses must have a garage for at least two cars, which can be entered both from the outside and from the inside.

Characteristic features of American houses

Classic houses, made in the American style, have some special characteristics:

1. Non-standard roofs. This characteristic is especially obvious if the house has several floors. In this case, projects have gable roofs With acute angle tilt complex broken shape on several levels.
2. Exterior view of the building. A special feature of this house is its light facade, as well as the presence of a spacious terrace. The use of natural materials - wood for finishing facades and shutters, natural or artificial stone when finishing foundations and pipes.
3. The presence of a significant amount large windows. Helps with home lighting and visually enhances interior space due to large quantity natural light. Thanks to the milder climate, this is a completely justified decision.
4. A very well-kept local area with clear zoning.

Then they begin to pour the foundation itself.

For this you can use either concrete foundation, or piles.

Stage 2. Construction of the frame

After the foundation work has been completed, the exterior finishing begins.

The final stage implies interior decoration, according to your design project - installation, plumbing, ceiling installation, furniture placement

Construction time of a conventional frame-panel house– from 1 month to 3.

When you have chosen the technology you need and decided on building materials, you can begin to select finishing materials. There is already complete scope for your imagination, because there are practically no restrictions here. Everyone can choose materials to their taste. Therefore, do not look for standards, but let your imagination run wild.

In conclusion, I would like to say what construction is frame houses According to American technology, it is very profitable and justifies all expectations. And choose a project that suits your individual conditions, very easy.

Projects of American-style houses and cottages are houses characterized by a spacious layout, versatility and convenience. Such projects are mainly designed for, since almost every building is complemented by terraces and asymmetrical facades. It is also worth noting the roofs, which, due to their decorativeness, give the house an unusual and original look. Very often it is possible to have a sharp shape with large angles of inclination.

Modern private frame-panel American country house with pitched roof

An American frame house requires, first of all, the presence of large areas. This style, which appeared in the colonial era, first became widespread in the states where people were engaged in farming.

Even though large areas make it easy to bring to life many of the most incredible design solutions, Americans still prefer to build houses, in the construction of which convenience and comfort come first.

The layout of a house in America is mainly horizontal, “in breadth”. Such buildings have several wings, in which each subsequent wing has a lower ceiling height than the previous one. In this case, each wing has its own, often strongly sloping, roof. The top floor, in most cases, is an attic, intended for bedrooms.

You can often find in American houses that smoothly turn into local area. The boundary between the house and the surrounding landscape is further “blurred” due to the large number of doors and windows, which are a mandatory attribute of housing. In cottages, where there is little light, windows and doors, Americans usually feel extremely uncomfortable.

American residents pay a lot of attention to the design of backyards adjacent to kitchens and terraces. A recreation area, etc. is traditionally located here.

The layout of an American-style house is carried out according to certain rules, taking into account certain features. The interior is zoned in such a way that the guest lingers in the hallway, without looking at the interior chambers of the owners of the house. For this reason, a guest area is often set up next to it, where you can calmly drink tea at the table, sitting on comfortable sofa or chairs.

If the layout of the house does not allow for a formal place, then guests are sent to a common room, which includes a kitchen, dining room and recreation area. In parallel, the common room acts as a room for family gatherings. Typically, family dinners take place either at the dining table or as close to the kitchen as possible. Guests, in turn, are received at a separate table intended for dinner parties.

When dividing zones, they are often used various types partitions (except for the walls themselves), or furnishings placed in the most suitable manner for these purposes. The kitchen areas have kitchen islands with built-in washing machines or slabs. American style is, first of all, simple but massive furniture of clear shapes, with a predominance of one or two light shades.

Recreation area in common room includes home theater and . Ceilings are often equipped with additional light sources. IN one-story houses prefabricated lighting predominates, allowing the rafters to be left open. Americans rarely use suspended ceilings, giving more preference natural materials. Houses in the USA are illuminated using tabletop and wall lamps, which turn on simultaneously. Ceiling lamps usually used only in the common room, and even then rarely.

The front part of the house is not complete without use floor tiles And parquet board. Moreover, in some parts of the house these materials are combined with carpet, which allows you to significantly save money on finishing the premises. The owners allocate the largest room in the house for the bedroom, which is often equipped with its own bathroom and access to the terrace. Children have smaller rooms, the bathroom of which is adjacent to all children's rooms.
