The construction of any home begins with the design and layout of the site. It is recommended that the vegetable garden and outbuildings be located in the back of the plot, and the garden can be planted either around the house, or a plot of land can be allocated near the house. Developing original projects, architects provide in it all the amenities for living, offer the best and durable designs. However, for this, the size of the house is taken into account.
General information
We will begin the analysis of the house with the project of the five-level house "Comfort-2". This is an improved version of the projected building.
Such an analysis of the size of the house suggests that at the first (basement) level there is a garage, a basement, a sauna and a utility unit; the second level includes two bedrooms, a common hall and a kitchen. On the third level there is a living room, where steps lead. The fourth level is an attic and a balcony. Fifth level - an internal balcony-gallery located above the hotel, which houses an office and a library.
According to the rules for calculating the area of a house, the footage of each room is determined and all the results are added up. The total area of the house can be found on the data sheet. Verandas and balconies, a porch, a toilet, places for stairs and closets, as well as an attic are not taken into account.
A private house. Parameter Definition
In this aspect, the dimensions of a private house are measured by BTI employees or independently. For a better solution to the issue of the Comfort-2 project of 8 × 8 m, let's figure out which parameters are suitable for the building. The standard dimensions of the house are approximately 80 - 90 m 2 . Of these, the living room accounts for 18.0 m 2 , it is located on the south side; kitchen - 4.8 m 2 : guests and family members are usually here; a bedroom of at least 11.0 m 2 in size; there are 2 rooms in the project; hall with an area of 11.0 m 2 , there are wardrobes and hangers. And other areas: garage - 18.0 m 2 ; basement (boiler room) - 10.6 m 2 .
Dimensions of a residential building
Choosing the individual parts of the building, it is reasonable to be guided not by the emotions and advice of Danai personalities, but by practical considerations: where, what and how the living and auxiliary rooms are located, what structure and composition of the land is allocated for the foundation. To determine the size of the house we need, we must first clearly present the main layout of the residential building, its number of storeys, the height of window openings and ceiling levels, the number of rooms and auxiliary rooms. It is also customary to indicate the level of the ridge of the roof and the top of the chimneys. It is necessary to identify the main, courtyard and side facades of the house, plans for the foundation and the site.
It is also necessary to know the levels of freezing of the soil (UPG), which can be determined from the comparative map of the standard depths of freezing of the soil. In our strip, the freezing level is 1.5 meters and depends on the quality of the soil. Determining the size of the house, you should decide on the appropriateness of the basement. Basement, garage and premises: a bathroom, workshop and sauna are best built with a deep groundwater level. But if the groundwater lies close to the surface, then it is wise to have an underground or planning land mark (REF) raised to a level above the groundwater.
Layout of a residential building
A real solution to the layout of the house provides for such a set of premises that will provide comfortable living conditions in the house. It is day and night comfort; hygiene and physical health; consumption and cooking. The scope of personal comfort includes:
1) electricity and heat supply;
2) sewerage and ventilation;
3) water use and more.
As part of any such building should have a common room (hall), bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom and utility rooms. In the aspect of a residential building, the dimensions, minimum standards are determined: living room - 12 sq.m / width 3 m; bedroom - 8 sq.m / width 2.4 m; kitchen - 6 sq.m / width 2 m; a bathroom - 1.2 sq.m and further. The height of the premises is determined by at least 2.5 m. In a private building are divided: residential area, utility and entrance areas. That is 3 zones. In the layout of the house with dimensions, the living area includes rooms for adults, children and guests, as well as a hall, a corridor and a veranda. Other rooms relate to utility and entrance areas.
Front panels. Kinds
When choosing a project for building an individual private house, you need to decide what material to build the house that suits you. Materials, taking into account their features, are divided into types: log and block; stone and brick; panel (thermal panel) and panel board; vacuum granular slabs (VGP) and wood concrete; monolithic and composite (SIP - panel). And other solutions: adobe and adobe in modern versions. It is known that materials and constructive solutions for the construction of walls (structures) are selected based on climatic conditions, saving and accounting for money, comfort and durability of a building, architectural design of facades and interior interiors. Materials must be environmentally friendly. When using a thermal panel or VGP, the size of the panel house fully corresponds to the parameters of the planned wall height of the designed building. Thermal panels and VGP with clinker cladding allow you to sheathe the building in a short time. The applied insulation layers do not absorb moisture. Thermal panels and VGP have low thermal conductivity and relative strength, are resistant to fire and various biological effects. The material (thermopanel; VGP) is easy to install and to use.
Design and layout
The idea and idea of the future premises, which would be reflected in modern, Scandinavian or alternative styles. The choice of colors, materials and decoration play an important role in the interior of the house. In determining the style (they are different), the general background, color and objects are taken into account. Here are some ideas for design: a level library with an office; zoning with floor levels in the kitchen; counter - lamp and chairs - benches in the kitchen; a ceiling in starry colors and a space nebula on a rug; a square porthole in the room; entrance door with a round lattice window; wall paintings and stoves in curly frames, amulets drawings; on the wall at the head of the bed are paintings of books and landscapes; corner panoramic insulated windows overlooking the nature; trapezoidal shutters on the windows; balls fixtures on the floor on the sides of the chair. On the Internet you can find other ideas for design and design.
Conclusion
When choosing the size of the house, it is better to keep a reasonable middle. Do not succumb to the enthusiasm for space, gigantism. It is advisable to build a house for growth: first, the necessary premises (kitchen, bedroom, common room, toilet and more), and then other premises can be completed. If we take ready-made standard projects, then a four-level two-story house is preferable. At the stage of choosing the construction budget, calculate based on the cost of one sq.m. required area of 1000 USD (conditional money). With economical construction, this amount is reduced by 30-40%.
It is important to determine the completion dates and sources of financing for this construction.
