The round house - a phenomenon in our time, is somewhat surprising, but it will not be possible to attribute the construction of such a building to the invention of modern architects - such structures have traditionally been used by many people in different parts of our planet. The construction of rounded houses was common in Europe in ancient times.
Following the example of ancient architects, modern builders are increasingly returning to this original form, considering it beautiful and durable, able to last for many years. Almost all projects of round houses involve the construction of structures of a cylindrical or spherical shape, while the roof can be conical, spherical or flat.
When creating a round house project, experts are primarily guided by practical considerations: it is difficult to dispute the fact of the increased strength of a spherical surface. At first glance, such elegant, rounded structures are able to withstand gusts of hurricane winds, the speed of which reaches 250 km per hour, and the roof will cope with a snow "cap", which creates a load of up to 700 kg / m 2. The round house is not afraid of earthquakes. This is very important for residents of certain regions.
Among the main advantages that a round house has, it should be noted its efficiency. Without a hesitation, such a house can be classified as energy-saving - the reduction in heating costs is due to the absence of cold sections in the corners of the premises, the absence of corners also protects the walls from freezing. The construction of such a house initially involves some savings. Upon receipt of the same indoor area, it becomes possible to minimize the length of the walls, while reducing the cost of building materials and reducing the complexity of construction work. Naturally, this reduces the time required to build a building. The developer has the opportunity to get savings on large construction equipment - it simply will not be needed.
Opponents of such an architectural solution, contrary to all the positive aspects noted, argue their opinion that the round house is an amateur building, if it is necessary to sell it, difficulties may arise. Rooms that have small areas can create some inconvenience, it may be necessary to order special furniture to furnish such rooms. There may also be a problem with the choice of roofing materials.
Perhaps the comments are fair, but is it possible to compare the view from the window of a conventional building with a wonderful panoramic view, which is accessible to the owners of the round house. An attractive point is the ability to use natural light during daylight hours. The layout of such a house does not hinder the arbitrary arrangement of engineering and communication systems, including the possibility of installing solar panels, creating an autonomous water supply and sewage system. The spherical shape of the room gives an excellent space for the flight of design ideas when creating an original and comfortable interior.
