The desire to have a cozy and comfortable home is quite justified and natural, but so that at the same time its contents do not violate reasonable limits. Trying to build a comfortable suburban housing, do not forget about rationality. Very often, having driven a short distance from the city, you can contemplate the designs of single-story brick houses, replete with complex roofing and panoramic windows, with all kinds of turrets and spiers. On paper or a monitor screen, it all looks, of course, spectacular and original, which moves you to buy a project. But only after making an estimate it will become clear how much all these delights will cost you, and after a housewarming, energy bills will spoil all the delights of country life.
Projects of single-story brick houses, from an aesthetic point of view, should not have any pretentiousness and catchy decor. An attractive appearance can be achieved in other ways that will cost you much less.
Many projects of single-story brick houses can look very good in graphic design, but if the necessary proportions are not met, the structure will look awkward even with spectacular facade elements. Only strict geometric ordered and balanced proportions will give the cottage architecture a harmonious and beautiful look. Projects of one-story houses, executed by an architect who approached the work from a rational, practical point of view, will even on paper have balanced proportions of the height of the walls, the geometry of the windows, the roof structure and its size. For example, very often architects use such a technique as horizontal windows, which, given the horizontal orientation of the buildings, will look very impressive.
Projects of one-story brick houses with a garage should have an average angle of inclination of the roof slope. If the angle of inclination is small, then such a house will look bulky and squat. When considering the drawing, this is invisible, but when you look at the already built house from a height of human growth, the roof will simply not be visible. Only gutters and cornices will remain visible in this case. The angle of inclination of the ramps - and this should be reflected in the application, when you consider the projects of single-storey houses made of brick - should be at least 40 degrees. It will be difficult to miss such a roof, and with the right choice of roofing structure and material, it will even become a decoration of the house.
If we talk about the form, then, as practice shows, outwardly the projects of one-story houses with a hip roof that look the same from all sides will look great. this type of roof gives the one-story building an ordered look, harmoniously completing the volume by uniformly lowering it onto all walls.
When starting to build your own home, you do not need to strive to choose projects that can amaze the imagination. The most important thing is not originality, but the reliability and comfort of your family “nest”.
