The relative position of the rooms in the house. The best home layout: options, rules and recommendations

Construction one-story house- a good choice in many respects. Such a solution provides sufficient freedom in design and the so often necessary security of the situation, but will not suit the owners of small plots of land with a large family.

Houses on one floor are now in vogue - buildings are perceived as a single architectural project with the adjacent territory. But the layout of a one-story home depends on its size and the needs of the residents and requires careful thought, so you need to consider many reasonable options before deciding to make a final decision.

1. Cheaper laying of the foundation compared to multi-storey buildings, because the load on the base of a one-story house is much lower.
2. The ability to implement a single design concept throughout the house thanks to smooth transitions between rooms.
3. Convenience in cleaning the house, because all the rooms are located on the same level.
4. The safety of a one-story building for families with children and people with disabilities who do not need to use stairs.
5. The building heats up quickly, and the heat in it lasts longer.
6. Depending on the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe house, you can choose very interesting planning solutions, unusually using interior partitions.

The one-story house looks like a single whole with the landscape adjoining territory

How to increase the usable area of ​​a one-story house?

Choosing a one-story house, we already decide that it will not be so easy to increase its area, however, an additional couple of rooms is never superfluous, and it is possible to plan them in several ways:

• Arrange ground floor as a billiard room, storage for drinks, sauna, gym or living space. Even the already fairly detailed layout of a 10 by 10 (one-story) house, the photo of which can be seen below, will benefit significantly from this.
• To install a mansard roof, which is financially not significantly more expensive than building a house with a gable roof, but the distance formed under the roof can be used to organize a bedroom, nursery or guest room.
• Mount a shed roof, which allows you to organize a hanging platform or attic room.
• Use a flat roof as an additional area for a flower garden or a place to relax.

Flat roof of the house - a way to get an additional area for recreation

Mansard roof allows you to increase the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe house by one floor

An unusual design option for a small country house

Layout of small one-story houses

The layout of one-story houses made of wood or other materials depends on their parameters and shape. Square buildings are considered ideal in this regard, because the interior of rooms of this form of sufficient size is balanced. This is probably why most often the owners choose building projects with the same sides.

The layout of the house is 6 by 6 ( one-story option) - a very small building, usually used as a country cottage. It will be much cheaper to build such a house than a two-story or wider one, and with the help of modern means The design makes it easy to fit everything you need in it.

Square house layout

Having saved on heating (it is not difficult to do this with one low-power boiler, a fireplace with radiators) and on arranging the inlet and outlet for water and drain, you can perform good finish such a house.

A space of 36 square meters can be organized by planning a ten-meter living room, a nine-meter bedroom, a small bathroom of 3 square meters. m., a kitchen-studio of 8.5 sq. m., a small boiler room and a four-meter hallway.

It is not wise, however, to spend a small distance on the vestibule, because you can make a walk-through kitchen or living area by combining them with the hall. This is the main possible correct option organization of space, no matter how other parts of it are conceived. Separating the kitchen and living room will seriously reduce usable area.

The hallway and living room can be completely donated by organizing a small workplace as reflected in the layout below. In this case, everything is focused on the convenience of the owners.

Two bedrooms in a small house can also be planned. They are small but comfortable.

The kitchen corner can make it very small, like the picture below. But the house will accommodate two places to sleep and a fairly large living room.

The choice of a slightly more elongated form - at home 6 × 9 - is justified, because in this way several additional meters and for guests staying overnight, there is a corner.

An interesting option is to divide the house into 2 parts with a vestibule and a bathroom. node by arranging two entrances with different sides: place a sauna and a small utility room on one side, a living room with a kitchen and a bedroom on the other.

lovers modern interiors may simply abandon the idea of ​​sharing one big room partitions - in current trends to combine these two zones together.

Try to combine almost all areas of the house - now this is a current trend

Or, as in the illustration below, you can organize a full-fledged house with three rooms of a slightly reduced size and a garage.

The layout of an 8 by 8 house, the one-story construction method of which is becoming increasingly popular, is a more convenient option than 6x6, although it is more suitable for suburban housing, where it is not planned to live all year round.

64 sq. m - this is the area on which you can place the same range of rooms, but they will be much more spacious and comfortable. You can add some rooms (kitchen, bathroom) with storage rooms or plan a large niche with a compartment door in which you can store all the things you need in the house, and you won’t need more cabinets.

The layout of a 9 by 9 house (one-story) also does not differ much from the plan of smaller square-shaped buildings, although due to the expansion of the area, the possibility of using decorative and design elements in such an interior also increases.

So in a house of 36 sq. m. Interior doors are best used in sliding version, and in a cottage 9 × 9 you can afford their classic version.

The presence of an attic significantly solves the problems of small residential buildings. By placing a bedroom with a large bed on the second floor, you can provide enough space for a chic living room and kitchen on the ground floor. True, in this case you will have to find a place for the stairs.

The layout of a house with an attic is much more practical than simple one-story project

Layout of the first floor of the house with stairs

By placing utility rooms in the basement of the building, it will be possible to save space and not spend money on an additional floor, so this option is often preferred to the attic.

Layout of large one-story houses

A one-story house 10 × 10, the layout of the rooms of which turns out to be almost perfect, is chosen by the owners of rather large land plots. It will comfortably accommodate several people, and all rooms can be square and quite spacious and comfortable in terms of lighting and furniture arrangement.

Such a house with an area of ​​79.8 sq. m. is suitable for living in the comfort of a family of 4-6 people with children of different ages. The interior of such a dwelling can be made similar to the furnishings of a medium-sized three-room apartment. When organizing space, it is better to avoid corridors of any length, and plan a common hall, from which the doors will diverge into all other rooms.

In addition to the necessary premises in a house with such an area, the owners can also afford a working area - an office, expand the dignity. node, installing there not a shower cabin, but a wide bathtub or jacuzzi.

House layout

House size, number of floors

The size of the house should be logical. You should not build a house that is too huge, it will be inconvenient to walk from room to room, the dimensions should be in moderation. Very few people like a very large house, you can find a lot of sad reviews from the owners of huge houses. In addition, the cost of heating a huge house will also be rather big. Do not forget about the property tax, the larger the area, the greater the tax.

Similarly, you need to think about whether the house needs several floors. If the family is small and space requirements are modest, then it is better to get by with a one-story house. But two-story house nevertheless, there are advantages over a one-story one: with the same area, it is cheaper to build a foundation and a roof, less heat loss, it is easier to conveniently locate necessary rooms. But a one-story one does not need to build a staircase.

I am not a particular proponent of either one-story or two-storey houses. I have heard many reviews from big house owners who said they didn't even go to the second floor. The children have grown up, left, and the huge house stands empty. On the forumhouse, many owners of two-story houses often write that if they were building their house now, they would have built a one-story house instead of a two-story house.

Arrangement of rooms in the house

When initially designing a house, think about where the sun will be and which rooms will be sunny and which are not. The sun does not come in the north. It is desirable to “deploy” the living room to the west, the bedrooms to the east. Kitchen windows can look east, south; in the southern kitchen, air conditioning is desirable (it is advisable to immediately determine which rooms will have air conditioners). The stairs can be "pressed" to the north side of the house.

When the windows of the bedrooms are located in the east, you need to take care of thick curtains, otherwise the morning sun can wake up sleeping people. It is worth saying that in the east the morning heating of the room from the sun is possible even in November. On the other hand, in summer the sun rises faster above the horizon and does not have time to heat the room much.

If there is a noisy street on any side of the house, then you must first take this problem into account and do not place the windows of the bedrooms on the side of the noisy street.

Windows to the south good decision for those who like bright rooms, the plants in the room will also enjoy the sun. In a room with southern windows in summer it is bad without air conditioning. It is advisable to plant trees on the south side in front of the house, which will block the bright sun in summer, but there is no foliage in winter and additional heat from solar heating will not hurt.

IN two-story house all bedrooms are best located on the second floor, the kitchen on the first floor.

Home Planning Tips

An example of a "classic" layout of the second floor of a house without using a corridor.
Click on photo to enlarge.

Should avoid using corridors, rooms must be connected by rooms. If you still get a corridor somewhere, then it should be wide. Corridors should be such that at least two people can easily pass, i.e. at least 1.5 m wide.

A common mistake prospective homeowners make when creating their first home plan is not considering the thickness of the walls. But external walls and internal load-bearing walls can easily be half a meter thick.

No need to make the rooms narrow, as in Khrushchev. The closer the shape of the room to a square (rather than rectangular), the better. I advise you not to make the width of the main rooms less than 3 meters.

Interior openings without doors can be made quite wide, it looks good.

Rooms without sharp right angles, especially external ones, look more comfortable. All walls do not have to be straight, non-square rooms often look better.

It is necessary to correctly calculate the required area for each room. You need to draw a room and carefully arrange all the necessary furniture, correctly considering its size. After that, it may turn out that there is too much space in the bedroom, and in the living room, on the contrary, there is nowhere to put the table.

I advise you to immediately correctly make a list of the required rooms. For example: kitchen, parents' bedroom, 1st child's bedroom, 2nd child's bedroom, office, bathroom on the 1st floor, bathroom on the 2nd floor, living room, 1st pantry, 2nd pantry, space for a comfortable staircase, entrance hall, laundry room, boiler room, corridor on the 1st floor, corridor on the 2nd floor. Further, having correctly placed all the furniture schematically in them, you can calculate the minimum area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe future house.

Rooms that are too large in area are more difficult and costly to cool with air conditioning in the summer heat.

Although two-story houses usually have bedrooms on the second floor, it is desirable to have at least one bedroom on the first floor for the older generation or for yourself, so to speak "for the future."

It is advisable to make the layout of the house so that in winter it would be possible to block the natural movement of warm air flows from the first floor to the second with doors.

It’s not bad if the windows of frequently used rooms face the courtyard: you can see who has come or has arrived, what the children are doing, etc.

The basement floor is good in many ways, but the fact that with a heated basement the floor on the ground floor will be much warmer will be especially important, no thermal insulation of the floor will be required. But building a basement is expensive.

It is desirable to make the main interior openings wide, interior single doors 80-90 cm, no more, but less too. There is non-separable overall furniture, it should be easily carried through the right rooms. It is undesirable to make openings for doors of non-standard sizes; custom-made doors are more expensive than usual ones.

If, when developing a house plan, it is formed somewhere a dark room without a window, and this is definitely impossible to eliminate, then you can make windows between rooms. Daylight will penetrate and the room can be used without turning on the lighting.

The kitchen and bathrooms in the house should be large, you should not save on space in such places. I saw projects where many manage to make a tiny uncomfortable bathroom next to the bedroom with a house area of ​​250 m2. There should be several bathrooms (bathrooms), at least two, and preferably three. A bathroom should be on each floor.

If you make a bathroom near the bedroom, it is desirable to separate it with a small room from the bedroom - see the image. This room can be equipped as a dressing room.

If the owners plan to have a dog, then if it is required to bring it into the house, it will need to be washed somewhere. And if the bath is far away, then the dog can stain the floors, carpets, besides, washing the dog in a regular bath is inconvenient and not hygienic.

Rooms with a ceiling height of two floors look very cool, for example, a living room. This technique is also called "second light". Things like this are best done in a very big houses. There may be difficulties in winter, because the whole warm air will go up.

It's nice to have a kitchenette on the second floor with a small refrigerator, microwave and electric kettle. This is the case if you go far to the first floor.

And it's worth scheduling porch, so as not to fence something incomprehensible. The porch should have a canopy. By the way, the "canopy" of the porch can be the overlap of the second floor, i.e. the porch is, as it were, recessed under the second floor, but this already depends on the project of the house.

Many "Wishlist" for the layout of the house will certainly change when there is a conversation about specific design at home, his project. As an example - rectangular floor slabs, it is difficult to make indirect corners of the walls with them. Therefore, you will either have to abandon such an idea, or fill in a monolithic ceiling.

Availability of rooms

Should be separate laundry room, drying, ironing. It can be placed on the north side of the house (the illuminated sides are useful for living rooms).

Should be separate boiler room, if necessary, it can be placed in the basement. The boiler room must have water supply, sewerage, a window. Attention! The area, volume of the boiler room, the presence of an exit to the outside, the area of ​​\u200b\u200bwindows must meet the installation requirements gas boiler, . The boiler room with access to the street can, if desired, be used as a place to store garden tools so as not to build sheds on the site. The boiler room is a source of noise, so it is undesirable to place it next to the bedroom. And although, according to the rules, a gas boiler (with a power of up to 60 kW) can be hung in the kitchen, it is still desirable to have a separate boiler room. The boiler in the kitchen is another "pleasure" in the form of a quiet, but low and uninterrupted rumble.

Many people want to build attic, especially those who lived before all the time only in an apartment. I am not a supporter of attics, I think that full second floor is better and more comfortable. However, building an attic is cheaper than a full-fledged floor with a roof, but this is the only plus of the attic. "Romance" quickly passes. I am sure that the majority of attic owners, if they could go back and were not limited in finances, would build themselves a normal second floor.

It is better to make, just in case, two exits from the basement floor. However, if there are windows in the basement (and they are needed), then this is not necessary.

You also need to decide if you need veranda. The veranda is blocking sunlight for other rooms, it may be better to simply make a spacious and heated room with large windows around the perimeter of the walls as part of the house.

Always requires at least one capacious pantry preferably two or more.
In a two-story house, the space under the stairs to the second floor can be conveniently converted into a pantry. An example of this use of a large staircase.

Many men want to have a separate workshop. If you don’t plan it in advance, then you will have to remake some room for it: someone turns the garage into a workshop, someone remakes an extra bedroom.

Tambour and hallway

The entrance to the house should not be immediately in a large living room. Some kind of "tambour" or hallway is needed. To build a vestibule or not - it is up to everyone to decide. It is believed that it is warmer with a vestibule, but two doors perfectly replace the vestibule.

In an unheated vestibule, it is very uncomfortable to put on cold clothes and shoes. Usually the supporters of vestibules are those who have built themselves too small and / or unheated entrance hall. The entrance hall should be large enough and impassable in the home, then the vestibule will not be needed. Supporters of tamburas are lovers of vegetable gardens; if the house is "urban", then you can do without it. Residents of the harsh northern regions with snowy winters are also advised to build a vestibule.

The entrance hall in a house without a vestibule should not have free passages without doors to other rooms, otherwise the residents will be uncomfortable when the door opens and frosty air enters the living rooms. If it is difficult to build a completely “closable” entrance hall, then a vestibule is required.

On the right in the picture, I drew the entrance to the house without a vestibule. The entrance is through two doors immediately into a heated entrance hall with two windows. The small room is a closet. On the right is the exit to the garage combined with the house, thus the "dirty zones" are combined. The entrance hall has a sufficient area, impassable and closed by a door from the rest of the house.

And now a few of my notes on windows:

• Floor-to-ceiling windows look great. Especially when there is a good view from the window.
• When choosing a window height, think about the fact that the curtains have a limited height. True, there are curtains, in which the width is just limited, and the desired height is cut off.
• When planning a window, think about how to clean it if it is large, especially from the outside.
• It looks interesting window without a battery at the bottom and window sill recess for it. But this is just an observation.
• It looks great a window in the ceiling or even a glass ceiling.
• It looks interesting window to another room.
• Do not be afraid that due to the large number of windows it will be cold. Modern I-coated double-glazed windows have a higher heat transfer resistance than a 54 cm thick wall made of conventional ceramic bricks.
• It is necessary to abandon the "Khrushchev method" - one window per room. A room with several windows usually looks prettier than one. But you don’t need to be zealous with the number of windows either, otherwise the furniture will have nowhere to put it.
• Windows with both opening sashes look much better than with one opening.
• The bathroom should have a full window, not a small window.
• There are many other useful tips on windows in the corresponding article.

Ceiling height

Many people, when drawing a house layout for the first time, do not think about the height of the ceilings. People who lived in apartments low ceilings, often then they make themselves too high ceilings, so to speak "with a margin."

Very high ceilings are additional costs: the cost of building walls, interior decoration and stairs increases, additional cubic meters of air and external walls will have to be heated, i.e. heating costs rise. The difference in air temperatures at the bottom and at the top of the room can be from 0.4 to 1 ° C per 1 meter of height, i.e. at a room height of 3.5 m, the temperature difference can reach 3.5 °C.

The ideal ceiling height is a very difficult parameter, you must always take into account the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe room. The ceiling should not press, but the room should not look like a well either. I believe that for a room with an area of ​​​​17 m 2 - 2.5 m presses, and 3 m is just right. But for a larger area, you need more height. This means that it is better not to make rooms on the same floor significantly different in area, then it will be possible to choose the optimal height. It is worth noting that the flooring of the finishing floor will also “eat” additional centimeters.

Low ceilings limit the use of some chandeliers: a large person can simply bang his head on the bottom of a long chandelier.

Theoretically, it is possible to provide in the project different heights ceilings for different rooms of the same floor. By the way, I saw such a solution in St. Petersburg in the Hermitage, where huge halls adjoin small rooms with low ceilings. In small well rooms, you can lower the high ceiling with drywall or wood, creating a void between the ceiling and the false ceiling.

With high ceilings, doors can be made larger in height, not 2 m, but 2.30 is acceptable. True, the doors will then have to be ordered in workshops, standard doors are rarely of such a height.

Too much small balcony. The owner of the house will really go out to him only a couple of times a year. But the balcony at least serves as a canopy over the porch.
Click on photo to enlarge.

Does a private house need a balcony? Many people who have built a balcony often say that they do not use it, that it is easier to go out into the yard than to go to the balcony. If you want a balcony, then it’s better to make it big right away, no 3x1 m balconies. There should be enough space on the balcony for a sunbed (preferably for two), a table, flower pots, etc. If you make the balcony small, it will only become decorative element on the front of the house. Examples of spacious balconies: one and two.

A spacious balcony is good especially when the house is located in a dense urban area, when people practically do not have their own yard.

A spacious balcony-terrace can be placed, for example, above the garage adjacent to the house.

It is better to make a balcony railing at least 1 m high, this is a safety issue. By the way, in GOST 25772-83 minimum height balcony railing in buildings up to 30 m high is just 1 m. But I personal experience I think that this is not enough, and it is better to make a fence 1.1 m high or even more.

The floor of an open balcony should be at least 10 cm below the bottom of the balcony door. For example, if the floor of the open balcony and the floor in the room are a single slab, then in the opening of the future door you need to lay out one row at the bottom brickwork, plaster and only then put the door on top.

Snow can accumulate significantly on a balcony without a canopy in winter. During rains, water can stagnate if there is not a sufficient slope.

stairs

It must be understood that a comfortable staircase will take up a considerable area in the house.

If a disabled person or an elderly person will live in the house, then in addition to the stairs, you can install an elevator. There are lifts for small cottages.

What kind of garage to do - combined with the house or separate? Still, a combined garage is a certain load from a car (possibly two) on the foundation (3 additional tons), if the foundation of the house and the garage is common. Although this is, of course, a little compared to the total weight of a brick-and-concrete house. On the other hand, the adjoining garage, which is not even heated, saves heat in the house, but this plus is insignificant.

Often, building a house and a detached garage can be much cheaper than building a house with a combined garage. It is important to distinguish between a “built-in” garage, when there is a floor of the house above it, and an attached garage, standing close to the house, but on a separate light foundation. The second option will be cheaper.

Exhaust gases from the garage can get into the house, so you need to do high-quality ventilation in the garage. Also, the entrance to the garage from the house is best done through two sealed doors, preferably with a glass opening. But there is still no guarantee that emissions from the combined garage will not enter the residential part of the house.

The garage should have a slope for the outflow of water, for example, towards the middle and into the yard. The garage should have a faucet with cold water and preferably a drain to the sewer.

It is good to make an entrance to the combined garage from the house from the vestibule / hallway, then you will not need to take off your shoes and shoes several times.

Garage doors should be comfortably wide so that entry into it is easy and quick. The height of the gate must be done with a margin so that even a tall SUV or van can enter the garage. A gate height of 2.4 m should be sufficient for most modern vehicles.

The area of ​​the garage should be sufficient for parking two cars, and with a margin, because. Cars can be of various sizes.

Desirable in the garage viewing hole, but not necessarily. To protect against precipitation and runoff from the garage floor, the bottom of the garage doors must be at least 10 cm above ground level.

In general, there are a lot of reviews of people who regret that they built a garage as part of the house. Many say that it would be better not to bother with this option and just build it separately.

The house should be ideally thought out ventilation in all rooms. Bathrooms, kitchens and washing and drying rooms should have excellent ventilation to remove moisture quickly.

You have to decide right away where to be. safes. The safe can be placed even in the garage.

A large classic fireplace "like in a movie" is in most cases a stupid thing. As heating, classic fireplaces are inefficient, and the cost of construction is considerable. There are a lot of reviews of people who built a fireplace and say that they would not build it if there was such an opportunity. It is necessary to build a classic fireplace if you really, really want to have it.

The decision to distribute the space of a private dwelling is a responsible matter. At this stage, not only the wishes of the owners regarding the location of residential areas are laid down, but the competent placement of communications is planned. An excellent layout of the house will combine the competent distribution of space, convenience and practicality.

You can do the process yourself, especially if the budget allows you to realize any idea. However, for the qualitative distribution of the available space, the correct assignment of the functional load and the combination of the above with the convenience of living, it is better to involve a professional.

Work rules

Planning in construction refers to the division of space during the construction phase. All subsequent changes refer to redevelopment. Therefore, in order to avoid costly adjustments in terms of time, effort and finances, good layout private house should begin at the stage of laying the foundation. This is necessary in order to initially lay bearing walls and partitions.

The drawing must clearly take into account the size of a private house and meet the basic requirements for the construction of residential buildings.

So, taking into account the norms for the volume of clean air in the room (23 m3), it is necessary with special care to ensure the necessary footage, the level of ventilation. Natural light sources are also important.

Kitchen

The dimensions of the kitchen should be calculated based on how much furniture and household appliances planned to be placed there.

The best option for a private building is to combine two areas: cooking and dining. This increases the volume of the room with the benefit of functionality.

The optimal indicator of the area for the kitchen is 10 m2. For a kitchen combined with a dining room, 15m2 is enough.

Toilet and bathroom

For private building where the implementation of the sewer system is a real epic, it is important to use space and material wisely. For this reason, the toilet, bathroom and laundry (if one is allocated separately) are located next to the kitchen.

This placement allows you to comply with hygiene standards by highlighting a separate utility block. At the same time, there is a significant savings in material and laying work. sewer pipes and water supply systems.

If each of the premises is planned as a separate one, it is worth taking care of the appropriate footage. The minimum indicator in this case will be 5-6 m2.

Distribution of the area of ​​houses of different types

Building bulky mansions that require huge expenditures of energy and resources to ensure their functioning is now too expensive. Taking into account the cost of construction and land plot for such a building - even more so.

At the same time, compact buildings that fit on small plots of land and combine all the areas necessary for comfortable living remain popular. It is in such buildings that the competent use of space is of paramount importance.

If we talk about the classification of private houses, then we can distinguish two signs of division: number of storeys and size. The most common are compact one- and two-story buildings with an area of ​​​​6x6, 8x8 and 10x10 meters.

Given the limited space, a popular option is a building with an attic - a living space equipped under a roof.

Type 6x6

Planning a house 6 by 6 meters is a difficult task. After all, with small parameters, you need to place all the necessary zones and make the home comfortable for living.

Here it is advisable to place a kitchen / dining room and a bathroom with a toilet on the ground floor. The attic will play the role of a recreation room, which can be divided into a bedroom and leisure area (or a nursery). It will not be possible to single out more than two functional zones due to the dimensional characteristics of the room.

In some cases, homeowners may sacrifice the toilet inside in favor of equipping a wood-fired steam room. And the correction of needs is transferred to a structure such as a closet on a personal plot.

Type 8x8

When it comes to an area of ​​​​64 m2, the process of distributing space becomes not so difficult. So, the layout of the house 8 by 8 meters easily includes:

• entrance hall - 4 m2;
• bathroom - 8 m2;
• dining room kitchen - 15 m2;
• bedroom-living room - 22 m2;
• children's room - 15 m2.

This is the distribution when planning a one-story house. If the presence of an attic is implied, redistribution will be required, taking into account the stairs (about 8 m2) leading up. Under the roof, two bedrooms of 20 m2 and 13 m2 can be freely accommodated.

With this footage, space planning for a two-story building can also be freely discussed. In this case, it is worth increasing the bathroom with toilet, dining room and hallway, as well as adding a storage room on the ground floor. A children's room, along with two bedrooms will be located on the second.

Type 10x10

An area of ​​10 by 10 meters is sufficient to accommodate all the necessary premises on one floor. The layout of such a house with an attic will increase the footage of the rooms or, if necessary, their number.

So, in addition to standard set(kitchen, living room, nursery, bedroom, bathroom), you can allocate space for an office or a specialized place of rest. If you move the nursery to the attic, you can equip a spacious steam room on the ground floor.

The layout of a two-story house of similar footage can only be limited by hygiene standards and fire safety requirements. Otherwise, there is enough space to fulfill the wishes of the owner.

It is advisable to place the kitchen and dining room on the ground floor. Under the storage room in the dwelling with big amount it is better to take the inhabitants immediately 6-9 4 m2. At the same time, the toilet and bathroom can be duplicated for greater comfort for residents.

Speaking of comfort, it is worth considering the needs of all inhabitants. So, the size of the building allows you to provide children of different sexes. separate rooms. This will be a significant plus when the children begin to grow up.

Accommodation of bedrooms ground floor it is worth planning, implying the residence of the older generation in them. But the office should be located as far as possible from the most visited premises. Better if it can only be accessed from the master bedroom.

When planning the initial placement of the dwelling on the site and the rooms in it, it is worth leaving space for the construction of a wide porch or summer terrace. Such an element will not require significant investments, but will pay off many times over, especially in the summer.

Photo layout of the house

When choosing a project for the construction of a cottage on a suburban area, first of all, you need to decide on the number of storeys of the building. This nuance has a direct impact on the budget for future construction and the functionality of housing. In turn, the choice of storeys of the building depends on the area of ​​​​the site. A small building area imposes some restrictions on the choice of the type of building, so a good plan for a one-story house will always come in handy.

Thanks to competent planning even a very small one-story house can be comfortable and cozy

Plan of a one-story house: advantages and disadvantages

Construction work on the construction of a one-story building has a lot of advantages, because building a house with one floor is much faster and easier than with two or more.

This type of development opens up ample opportunities for design development, its execution, and also ensures the reliability and safety of the finished building. But one-storey cottages will not be able to solve the problem with the development of suburban areas, the owners of which have large families. In this case, you should pay attention to two- and three-story buildings.

Option for planning a one-story house with a small area

One-story buildings are popular not only because of their small size and low construction costs. They fit perfectly into the natural landscape. Nevertheless, the distribution of internal areas should be considered, since the building must ultimately fully meet the needs of all residents. To do this, you should familiarize yourself with the photo, plans of one-story houses, as well as their characteristics. This will allow you to create a more complete understanding of how building designs are developed.

Advantages of projects with one floor

Like any type of building, a one-story building has both advantages and disadvantages. The best option is the one that has more advantages than disadvantages.

Advantages of low-rise projects:

• The foundation is the most important part of the house. At the same time, the cost of its construction is very high in comparison with the prices for the remaining types of work. In most cases, one-story buildings have a simplified version of the foundation. Such a base is not designed to withstand the weight of several floors, therefore it can have a simple design and lightweight construction. Which, in turn, does not impose restrictions on the type of soil in the area allocated for development;

• during the construction of walls, you can save a lot, since their structures do not require additional reinforcement, since there is no second floor. The choice of building materials in this case is also practically unlimited;
• engineering in one-story buildings is very simple. There is no need to carry out complex wiring of communications, heating systems, etc., with the expectation of special operating conditions Houses. As it happens, for example, with houses where there is such an architectural element as a second light or there are many floors. Installation work simplified as much as possible and are very cheap;
• due to its simple design, building a house does not require high costs and all work is carried out as soon as possible;

• projects with one floor do not include the presence of a ladder structure, with the exception of layouts with an attic. This allows you to abandon the construction of an expensive and complex staircase, more rationally disposing of the internal living space.

Note! Of no small importance when choosing a layout is the psychological factor. For families with children, the aspect of unity and the optimal placement of living rooms in relation to one another is very important.

Disadvantages of one-story buildings and features of space organization

One-story buildings also have disadvantages, which are not so many:

• facilities with large area and one floor create significant difficulties at the design stage. In such conditions, when drawing up the layout, it is necessary to ensure that there are as few walk-through rooms as possible. Especially this requirement applies to rest rooms - bedrooms, guest rooms and children's rooms. The comfort of being in them will depend on this;

• buildings with one floor and large dimensions require significant costs at the stage of organizing the roof. Subsequently, a roof with such dimensions will more often need scheduled repairs and updates, which will cause new costs;
• buildings with small dimensions limit the size of the interior. At the design stage, it will be necessary to create a layout that will simultaneously meet the needs of all residents and comply with building and sanitation standards.

Photos of projects of one-story houses and ways to increase space

Given the fact that one-story buildings are most often limited in size, many owners of suburban areas seek any accessible ways increase interior space.

Ways to increase the area:

• arrangement of the basement floor, where you can place not only living rooms, but also the premises of a billiard room, gym or pantry;
• construction mansard roof, which can be used to accommodate a guest room, bedroom or children's room;

Basement, first and attic floor of a small private house

Note! Construction cost attic floor only slightly exceeds the costs that the organization of a roof with two slopes entails. Therefore, the attic can be considered as a profitable investment.

• installation of a roof with one slope for the purpose of further organizing an attic room or a hanging platform;
• usage flat roof to create an additional recreation area with a flower garden or patio;
• organization of a garage or workshop.

All these elements will diversify the layout of a residential building and make it more interesting from an architectural and functional point of view.

Such an element of the building as the basement cannot be considered as a full-fledged floor. Therefore, it does not affect the nominal number of floors in the house. But if the underground zone of the structure is improved and properly equipped, the basement area can be safely added to the overall size of the building.

The project of a one-story building with a basement does not provide for the placement of living rooms on this site. Such difficulties are caused by the fact that there is no way to organize natural lighting in the required amount and a normal level of ventilation.

Basement plan of a one-story house 8 by 8 m: 1 - corridor, 2 and 3 - non-residential premises (billiard room, boiler room, laundry, gym, etc.)

Nevertheless, you can always move to the lower part of the building all the premises that have an economic and technical purpose. Even a small building measuring 8x8 m can provide the family with additional space to accommodate many things and household appliances on the basement floor.

Useful advice! Use the plinth to install a water supply and heating system (boiler installation), organize a laundry, an ironing and drying area, store preserves and vegetables (instead of a cellar). Here you can move utility rooms, a pantry or a closet.

Large-sized projects allow you to place rooms intended for relaxation on the basement:

• gym;
• billiard room;
• workshop;
• mini cinema;
• sauna;
• small swimming pool.

Features of the layout of a one-story house 10 by 10 meters with an attic

In terms of cost, a cottage with an attic floor is almost the same as a house with an attic. This moment is due to the fact that materials for the construction of the attic require almost the same amount as they are needed for the attic zone. But in this case, there will be additional costs, since you will need to perform:

• warming;
• finishing;
• run the heating system.

Layout of a one-story house 10 by 10 m with an attic

All this is necessary in order to organize residential-type rooms on the attic floor, to ensure comfort in them. Therefore, the costs are well justified.

As in the case of the basement, the attic, from the point of view of architecture, cannot be considered as a full-fledged floor, therefore, it is able to offer much less usable area than it could be in a two-story building. But this space makes it possible to make interesting and diverse layouts.

Most often, the attic conditionally appears on the building plan as the second floor. For this reason, in the upper part of the house, the owners tend to arrange bedrooms and small bathrooms. The area of ​​this site determines the number of bedrooms, their dimensions.

The attic may include several small bedrooms, as well as a hall, a full bathroom equipped with a bathtub. Here you can also place a pantry.

Plan of a one-story house 8 by 10 meters with a garage

The presence of only one floor in the house cannot be an obstacle to creating a garage or workshop under the same roof with living quarters. At the same time, plans for one-story houses with a garage can have a completely symmetrical layout or, conversely, a certain number of rooms located freely.

Symmetrical building options offer layouts in which the garage space is separated from residential-type rooms with the help of powerful main walls. Outwardly, such a building looks symmetrical, perhaps a conditional division in half into two zones: a residential part and a plot reserved for a garage. With a free distribution of spaces, the garage room simply adjoins one of the outer walls of the building.

Useful advice! It is recommended to draw up a layout so that access to the premises is not only from the street, but also from the side of the house. Thanks to this, the car owner will not need to get wet in the rain and snow in bad weather when he wants to go to the garage.

To increase the free space in the house, it is not at all necessary to be limited to just one garage, basement or attic. You can use all these elements to make your home comfortable and convenient.

Development of a one-story building project

The comfort of living in the house is affected by many various factors. But the primary of them in importance is the nature of the placement of rooms, as well as the features of their interaction with each other.

The rational distribution of spaces is determined by:

• room sizes;
• appointment of premises;
• accommodation;
• connections between rooms and other types of rooms, such as verandas, corridors.

The foundation of the house is the basis for creating a layout. Today, based on standard projects, the possibilities for creating layouts have expanded significantly. Developers use pre-designed drawings that include typical design and layout solutions. This reduces the cost of the design phase, and not only reduces the consumption Money but also time. Ideas are implemented in short time, they are as close as possible to the needs of most of the owners of suburban areas.

Compact one-story house with an original design

The stage of planning the building and its interior

The building planning phase includes several mandatory requirements which should be adhered to.

When planning a plan, do not forget about the following points:

• location in relation to the wind rose;
• features of the surrounding landscape and the direction in which the current moves ground water;
• location in relation to the cardinal points;
• buildings located on the territory, their features and remoteness from the site allocated for construction;
• availability of binding to engineering and communication systems;
• features of binding internal communication systems to the premises of the building;
• the shape of the building;

An example of the layout of a one-story house intended for a family of 2-3 people

• the ability to identify hidden spaces suitable for use as usable areas, subject to minor changes to the standard project;
• the number of rooms, their purpose, the connection between the interior of the house and the features of future operation.

Useful advice! It is recommended to reduce the elements of communication systems into nodes. This will reduce costs and get rid of the installation of unnecessary parts. For example, the kitchen and bathroom should have adjacent placement. This eliminates the need for additional piping.

Three-dimensional project of a small one-story house

Useful information for the design phase

Communication systems should be thought through very carefully. It is better if you can keep the length of the pipeline to a minimum, since the installation of long pipes is accompanied by the installation of many connections. The more connections, the higher the risk of leaks.

The sewer system needs a good outflow of water. It should be calculated in order to be able to normally accept the volume of liquid if the dishwasher and washing machine are operating at the same time in the house, as well as the bathroom or shower stall is being used. This moment depends on the number of permanent residents in the house and the needs of each of them (as well as household appliances) in water.

Option for planning a one-story house for a family with a child

The binding of a residential building to communication systems must be carried out in full compliance with sanitary and hygienic standards. As a rule, wastewater is sent for processing in a natural mode, which involves the use of gravity. Drainage is carried out exclusively in a place intended for these purposes. You should obtain a special permit from the sanitary service and properly organize a pit for drains.

Important! It is unacceptable to use storm drains and reservoirs to drain wastewater. This may result in a fine from the sanitary inspectorate or a subpoena from the utility company, as well as lead to pollution. environment and ground water. Carefully study the rules and requirements put forward for the process of organizing a sewer system in a suburban area.

With the optimal location of the house on the site, the wind should be directed to the roof slopes. Due to this, resistance and wind load are reduced in case of strong gusts and bad weather. Moreover, precipitation will not fall into the gables.

If it is planned to build a residential building in a region where there are sharp and frequent changes in the direction of the winds, it is recommended to use half-hip or hip-type roofs. Thanks to these structures, it becomes possible to form additional canopies and planes that provide effective protection of the walls from the effects of precipitation.

If you remove the internal partitions, combining the kitchen, dining room and living room, this will visually expand the interior space of a small house

Do not forget about the features of the landscape terrain. It is not recommended to locate the building at the most extreme points, that is, to carry out construction in the highest and lowest zones of the site.

To determine the location of the building, you should visit the local administration and get a map there that reflects the geodetic zoning of the area and all the features of the nearby terrain. Such a map will include information on the location of groundwater, its direction, soil features, and other data useful for construction.

One-storey house with an attic up to 100 sq m

Plan of a one-story house 6 by 6 meters

Made of wood or any other materials, it is based on the parameters and features of the form. Square structures, which is the house of 6x6 m, are considered optimal.

Note! The symmetry of the building allows you to create interiors of premises balanced and harmonious. This is due to the increased popularity of projects with the same side length.

Plan of a small house 6x6 m with one floor

Taking into account the fact that the dimensions of the building 6x6 m are small, such a house can be used as a country cottage. Its construction will be accompanied by lower costs than the construction of a larger or two-story structure. Using tools and technologies modern design here you can organize all the conditions necessary for a comfortable stay.

Significant savings can be achieved through competent organization heating systems, if a fireplace equipped with radiators or a boiler with a small capacity is used as a replacement for it.

Cottage 6 by 6 m can be used as a country house or for year-round use

In a space of 36 square meters, you can place the premises:

• living room;
• bedrooms;
• kitchens;
• small bathroom;
• boiler room;
• hallway.

A good option would be to combine the kitchen and living room like a studio. Thanks to this solution, you can increase the usable area.

Plan of a one-story house 9 by 9 meters

One-story buildings 9x9 m in terms of layout have similar characteristics as smaller square-shaped buildings. The advantage of buildings with a side length of 9 m is that the usable area increases, which makes it possible to diversify the interior design of rooms.

As an example, consider door structures. The limited spaces of the cottage with a total area of ​​36 sq m require the installation of interior sliding doors in order to save space. Installation of structures with sashes that are hidden in a special box placed in the wall will achieve maximum space savings. While a residential building with dimensions of 9x9 m allows the installation of classic doors with hinged doors.

Layout options for a one-story house 9 by 9 m

Useful advice! With the help of the attic floor, you can partially solve the problem of tightness in small buildings. In this case, the attic area is used to accommodate a large bedroom, which frees up space for organizing a larger kitchen and living room. However, you will have to look for a place to install a ladder structure, which will not cause problems if the attic is included in the layout of the 9x9 m house.

The layout of a one-story house 8 by 10 meters

The choice of layouts is quite extensive, so you have every chance to choose a really convenient and suitable option for you. Construction on a suburban area of ​​​​a house with parameters of 8x10 m will allow you to acquire:

• four bedrooms;
• living room;
• kitchen.

3D project of a one-story house 8 by 10 m

And that's just the main living quarters. We must not forget that in such a cottage, in addition to the listed rooms, you can organize bathrooms and utility rooms. The layout may include a veranda or vestibule, which will provide additional protection from the cold in winter.

When drawing up a house plan 8 by 10 m, in order to save usable space, you can refuse to organize long corridors who steal free space. In addition, a profitable solution would be to combine the areas of the kitchen and living room by removing the wall separating these rooms.

Projects of one-story houses up to 150 m2: photos and popular layouts

Some projects may have additional structural elements that enhance the architecture of the building.

These elements include:

• bay window;
• balcony;
• terrace;
• veranda.

Note! All these elements look like external extensions (the exception is the bay window), which are designed for operation in the warm season and in good weather conditions.

The terrace and veranda are good for organizing a recreation area. In the evening, this space can be used for tea parties with family or friends. The balcony will be a great place to relax and contemplate the beauty of the landscape around the house.

The layout of a one-story house with a fairly large area

The bay window has a more complex functional meaning for the building. It effectively decorates the house from the side of the facade, and is also able to make the interior layout more interesting. In addition, the bay window allows you to install large windows. Due to this, the flow of natural light that enters the house from the street increases.

The drawings of buildings with bay windows show how interesting the usual rectangular or square box buildings with standard parameters. Most often, bay windows are installed in structures made of stone or wood. In this case, the type of material has a direct impact on the shape of this element.

Large one-story house with attic space

Plans of a one-story house 10 by 12 meters and 10 by 10 meters

One-story cottages with dimensions of 10x10 m or more are already beyond the scope of projects up to 100 sq m. Most often, owners of land plots with a large area think about the construction of such a building. Such a structure can be used not only as a country house for the summer season, but also capable of performing the function of a full-fledged housing for the permanent residence of a family of several people.

The advantage of square rooms is that they contribute to a convenient distribution of furniture and are optimal for organizing a good level of lighting.

Plan of a one-story house 10 by 12 m with three bedrooms

In a building with dimensions of 10x10 m, a family of 4-5 people can be accommodated. Speaking in general terms, the layout of such a cottage allows you to create living conditions similar to those offered by a three-room apartment in the city. Heating is provided by the boiler room in such a house.

In addition to the mandatory rooms, the owner can organize other rooms that provide increased comfort:

• arrange an office;
• increase the dimensions of the bathroom with the subsequent installation of a bathtub instead of a shower stall;
• install jacuzzi.

Useful advice! If you increase the project to 10x12 m, it will be possible to add a room for guests and a dressing room to the general plan.

Example successful planning one-story house 10x10

Plan of a one-story house 11 by 11 meters

One-story log houses are a great alternative to brick and concrete. Cottages made of wood are not only low cost, but also environmentally friendly. It will not take very much time to build a building from a bar 11x11 m. In return, you will receive about 102.5 sq m of usable area and a sufficient number of premises.

The design of buildings 11x11 m may include:

• several living rooms;
• kitchen;
• bathroom;
• hall;
• veranda, vestibule, boiler room.

One-storey house 11 by 11 m with an attic and a large garage

As building material it is recommended to use a beam with parameters 150x100. The horizontal type of construction allows you to abandon the installation of stairs, which in itself has a complex design and construction technology, and even occupies part of the usable area both on the first floor and on the second. With one-story buildings, there is no such problem.

Plan of a one-story house 12 by 12 meters

A one-story building with dimensions of 12x12 m can be an excellent basis for creating a comfortable layout. Housing dimensions allow you to organize:

• several bedrooms;
• living room;

• two full bathrooms.

Projects 12x12 m allow you to organize a basement or attic. An extension in the form of a terrace or a garage will be able to expand the useful area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe house.

There are many options for creating a convenient and comfortable building plan for development suburban area. The choice is only limited by your imagination and budget.

The layout of the rooms in the house should be carried out at the stage for dividing and load-bearing partitions.

First of all, you should carefully check the prepared one for compliance with hygienic and building codes. According to accepted standards, the volume of clean air required for normal human well-being should be at least 25 m³. The dimensions of future housing are calculated in strict accordance with these indicators.

1. If it is less than 3 meters, then the area of ​​\u200b\u200bliving premises should be about 9 square meters. m.
2. During the layout of the premises, it is necessary to take into account the level and sources of natural light.
3. It is also required to take into account the degree of ventilation and ventilation of the premises.

The layout of the premises in the house

Kitchen

In the process of design Special attention should be given to the layout of the kitchen, which is desirable to equip in such a way that it is connected to the dining room. The optimal area of ​​​​the combined kitchen-dining room is approximately 15 sq.m. When choosing the size of the room, you should take into account the amount of furniture that will be placed in it in the future.

Single dining room and kitchen

To a large extent, it depends on functional purpose in the House. The best option is an area of ​​\u200b\u200babout 9 square meters. m. The minimum width of the kitchen should be 2.5 meters. In a room of this size, you can place everything you need: a refrigerator, stove, shelves, furniture, and more.

Bathroom, terrace, hallway

The area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe toilet and bathroom should be at least 4-5 square meters. m. As a rule, these rooms are located next to the kitchen, bedroom or combined with laundry. The minimum width of the corridor or hallway should be 1.5 meters. If these rooms are very spacious, then they can easily accommodate racks for shoes, furniture, outerwear. The area of ​​​​open spaces (verandas or terraces) should be about 20% of the total area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe house.

Communications, foundation and basement

One of important points is the correct mode of distribution of air and heat in the house, most directly related to ventilation and the microclimate in the house. This issue is especially acute in warm regions, where good air circulation and constant ventilation are simply necessary.

On the question of the most optimal location of the foundation relative to load-bearing structures and walls should be thought of already at the design stage. This will help you avoid unnecessary financial outlays in the future.

In almost any private house, a basement is always equipped. To implement this step, it is necessary to investigate the geodetic features of the soil, flowability and level of groundwater. Regardless of the characteristics of the soil, measures are taken to protect the underground from dampness and mold.

In this video, you can look at one of the best layouts for a 6x6 house.

Layout of a two-room house

A two-room one-story house can consist of an entrance hall, in which there are built-in wardrobes for various needs; common room in which there is a sleeping place for one family member; terrace, which leads to the exit from the hallway. In this case, the kitchen is combined with a dining room, which has a utility pantry (in the vestibule, for example) and convenient access to.

If you have, then you can make living rooms-bedrooms for family members on the second floor, and the first floor may consist of other rooms.
