For comfortable living in a private house, much more space is required than in an apartment. If 50 square meters - a standard two-room apartment in urban conditions - seems quite sufficient for a family of 3-4 people, then planning a one-story house of this size will be extremely difficult. It is more appropriate to use such small-sized options for summer cottage construction or as permanent housing for one person, a married couple without children or pensioners.
Project of a one-story house 11×11 with layout
One floor would be preferable to a two-story counterpart. Although horizontal construction will take up more space on the land plot, it will allow all premises to be located on the same level. The biggest disadvantage of two-story buildings is the staircase; it will simply be absent in a one-story building.
The advantages of a one-story house over two- and three-story analogues are obvious.
Layout option for a one-story house 9x9
To build a classic one-story house, you can choose any material on the market and use almost any type of foundation, based on the characteristics of the soil on which the house will be built. And also the location of all rooms in the same plane and the absence of stairs is one of the main advantages of low-rise buildings.
Due to the absence of the need to arrange interfloor communication, you can refuse to use a spacious hallway or hall, and use the freed-up space for other needs. A building with a basement floor will also be considered a one-story house. Despite three full operating levels, the house actually remains one-story. But the usable area that can be effectively used turns out to be many times larger.
A one-story house can be combined with a garage, combining them with a common roof. This option is suitable for both spacious one-story buildings and small-sized projects.

In this case, they represent a single stylistic ensemble; using such a garage is much more convenient and comfortable, since the room can be heated, and you can get inside directly from the house.
Materials for the construction of one-story houses
Environmentally friendly materials are increasingly being chosen for one-story houses. , blocks, or have long become classics. A relatively new and modern technology is frame construction. One of the most budget options and the fastest.
However, houses made of logs and timber fit more harmoniously into the interior of suburban areas. The rounding is more solid and representative. Hence the high cost. Houses made of timber are simpler and more affordable. However, they are in no way inferior to log cabins in quality and performance characteristics. In addition, laminated laminated timber is simpler and more convenient to work with than solid wood.
Layout of a modern one-story cottage measuring 8.8×10.8
The exterior of a private house should not only match the tastes of the owners, but also fit into the surrounding landscape. If houses made of brick or stone may look somewhat heavy and overly pretentious, then one-story houses made of timber will be an excellent decoration for any site: from an abandoned wild garden to a well-kept property in any style. Rustic simplicity and minimalism are the basis of most interior and exterior styles: rustic, farmhouse, country, retro.
Additional elements of a one-story house
By itself, a one-story house is a rather boring and uninteresting building. To enliven the appearance of the building and the internal layout, you can add several optional, but very functional elements to the project. The drawings will become only a little more complicated, but the one-story house will look fresh and interesting.

Ground floor
The basement floor is not considered a full floor, and therefore will not change the nominal number of floors of the building.
Project and layout of a one-story private house 8x8
However, with the arrangement and improvement of the underground part of the house, you can add a significant area to your possessions. It is quite difficult to create living quarters in the basement due to the lack of normal ventilation and natural light. However, it is quite possible to lower all the utility and utility rooms downstairs. Even in a small house with an area of 8x8, there are plenty of things and equipment that will feel great in the basement.
A heating boiler, water supply system, laundry room, dryer, ironing board, area for storing vegetables and home canning will free up a lot of usable space on the ground floor of the house if they move into the basement.
And finally, storage rooms and closets can also be installed in the underground floor. Drawings of large projects include the location of recreation rooms in the basement. A billiard table is being installed there, a cinema and a gym are being equipped. Often there is a sauna with a small pool inside. 
Attic floor
A house with an attic in terms of construction costs is not much different from an ordinary one. The arrangement of the upper room requires almost the same amount of materials as the attic area. Plus, you will have to additionally spend money on insulation and finishing, and later heating the room. That is why the attic is quite often found in projects of one-story houses.
It also cannot be considered a full floor. Its usable area will be less than the first floor. But the layout of a one-story house with an attic can be much more interesting and varied than an ordinary one-story building.
The attic is used as an analogue of the second floor. And if it is present in the house, then they try to organize bedrooms and a small bathroom upstairs. Depending on the size, the number of bedrooms will vary.
Original layout of a cottage with an attic 10×10
For example, in a 10x10 house, the attic will very comfortably accommodate three small bedrooms, a small hall and even a small storage room.
One-story house with garage
One floor in a house is not an obstacle to arranging a garage under one roof. It can be either symmetrical or have a very open layout. In the first case, the garage is located under the same roof as the living quarters, separated by main walls. Visually, such a house seems symmetrical; it can be divided in half into a part with a garage and a living half. In the second case, the garage can be adjacent to the house on any side and in any way. 
The main thing is that in the end it turns out to be a capital, covered, heated room, which can be accessed not only from the street, but also directly from the house. The size of the house itself is not important. This can be either a more solid one-story cottage 15x15.
The garage can be used in conjunction with other elements - the ground floor and attic. Such a one-story house will not only be more functional compared to simple buildings without architectural additions, but also look much more interesting in appearance.
Decorative elements
Such additions include a terrace, bay window and balcony. With the exception of the bay window, all the rest are external extensions that can be used in the warm season, in good weather. On the veranda or terrace you can organize a dining area in the summer, or in the evenings for meeting friends. The balcony is quite suitable for arranging a relaxation area.
A bay window will not only help make a one-story house more interesting from the outside, but will also diversify the interior design. compare favorably with boring regular boxes. A bay window can become an element of a wooden or stone house. The shape of this decorative element will simply depend on the choice of material.

Detailed layout of a one-story cottage 7x8
House layout 8x8
This is a very compact house, it is perfect for one person or as a house that is used seasonally or on weekends. One of the layout options involves the arrangement of two rooms - a living room of 16 square meters and a bedroom of 10 square meters. m. There is also room in the house for a spacious kitchen (12 sq. m.). The rest of the space is occupied by a corridor, a bathroom, an entrance hall and a storage room. Maximum space with the required minimum.
Another option is suitable for a married couple without children or with one child. Such changes became possible thanks to the appearance of the attic. On the ground floor there is an entrance hall with a built-in dressing room, a spacious hall, a separate bathroom and a kitchen combined with a living room.
Layout option for a one-story house 8x8
And on the second floor there are two spacious bedrooms and a small bathroom.
8x10 house layout
There are more and more layout options, but finding a truly comfortable and suitable one is not an easy task. However, it is possible to place 4 bedrooms, a living room and a kitchen in a wave. And that's not counting the utility rooms and bathrooms. This project has a small veranda from which the entrance door leads inside. The house starts with a vestibule of 3 square meters. m., and then a hallway leading into the living room. The living room in this version is a walk-through room.
Thanks to this solution, it was possible to avoid the use of corridors and turn the entire available area into useful space.
A small living room of 12 square meters does not seem small at all due to the fact that it is a passage room. In its circle there are 4 bedrooms with sizes from 13 to 6 square meters, and a kitchen of 8 square meters.

If desired, the kitchen can be combined with the living room by removing the partition between them.
House layout 10x10
It is no longer a small building. This is a full-fledged country cottage on one floor. If it is supplemented with a basement or attic, then the options for arranging such a house will number in the dozens.
It is difficult to give specific recommendations on internal layout here. It is worth focusing on the specific needs of the owners and the number of residents. And to make it convenient, just listen to the basic design principles:
The optimal size of a one-story house for a family of 4-5 people is considered to be a building of 120 square meters.
Example of a 12×12 cottage layout
The entire area that goes beyond this indicator is used to improve living conditions, comfortable stay for all family members, and expand and enlarge existing premises.
And of course, when choosing the project and layout of a one-story house, do not forget that the final area will directly influence the formation of the cost of maintenance. In particular, heating and lighting a large house will be much more expensive than a small one-story cottage. The annual tax will also be calculated based on the total area of the building.
When choosing a project for the construction of a cottage on a country plot, 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 number of storeys of a building depends on the area of the site. A small building area imposes some restrictions on the choice of building type, so a successful plan for a one-story house will always be in place.
Thanks to proper 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 many advantages, because building a house with one floor is much faster and easier than with two or more.
This type of development opens up wide opportunities for design development, its execution, and also ensures the reliability and safety of the finished building. But one-story cottages will not be able to solve the problem of developing suburban areas whose owners have large families. In this case, it is worth paying attention to two- and three-story buildings.
Layout option for a one-story house with a small area
One-story buildings are popular not only due to their small dimensions and low construction costs. They fit perfectly into the natural landscape. However, the distribution of internal space should be considered, since the building must ultimately fully meet the needs of all residents. To do this, you should familiarize yourself with photos, plans of one-story houses, as well as their characteristics. This will allow you to create a more complete picture of understanding 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 optimal 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, so it can have a simple design and lightweight design. Which, in turn, does not impose restrictions on the type of soil in the area allocated for development;
One-story house with bedrooms in the attic
- During the construction of walls, significant savings can be made, 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., taking into account the special operating conditions of the house. As happens, for example, with houses where there is such an architectural element as a second light or there are many floors. Installation work is simplified as much as possible and is very cheap;
- thanks to the simple design, building a house does not require large expenses, and all work is completed in the shortest possible time;
3D project of a one-story house with an attic and a garage
- projects with one floor do not include the presence of a staircase, with the exception of layouts with an attic. This allows you to avoid the construction of an expensive and complex staircase, making more efficient use of the internal living space.
Note! The psychological factor is of no small importance when choosing a layout. For families with children, the aspect of unity and 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, of which there are not so many:
- structures with a large area and one floor create significant difficulties at the design stage. In such conditions, when drawing up the layout, you need to ensure that there are as few passage rooms as possible. This requirement especially applies to recreation rooms - bedrooms, guest rooms and children's rooms. The comfort of being in them will depend on this;
Layout of a one-story house with an area of 150 sq. m, designed to accommodate a large family
- 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 renovations, which will cause new costs;
- buildings with small dimensions limit the size of the interior spaces. At the design stage, it will be necessary to create a layout that will simultaneously meet the needs of all residents and comply with construction and sanitation standards.

Photos of one-story house projects and ways to increase space
Taking into account the fact that one-story buildings are most often limited in size, many owners of suburban areas strive to increase the internal space by any available means.
Ways to increase area:
- arrangement of the basement floor, where you can place not only living rooms, but also billiard rooms, a gym or a storage room;
- construction of an attic roof, which can be used to accommodate a guest room, bedroom or children's room;
Ground, first and attic floors of a small private house
Note! The cost of building an attic floor is only slightly higher than the costs entailed by organizing a roof with two slopes. 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 area;
- using a flat roof to create an additional recreation area with a flower garden or patio;
- organizing a garage or workshop.
All these elements will allow you to diversify the layout of a residential building and make it more interesting from an architectural and functional point of view.
Installing an attic is an effective way to increase the internal space of the house
Plan of a one-story house 8 by 8 meters with a basement
An element of a building such as a basement cannot be considered as a full floor. Therefore, it does not affect the nominal number of floors in the house. But if the underground zone of the structure is refined and properly arranged, the area of the basement can be safely added to the overall size of the building.
The design 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 quantity 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 room, gym, etc.)
However, you can always move all premises that have economic and technical purposes to the lower part of the building. Even a small building measuring 8x8 m can provide a family with additional space to place many things and home appliances on the ground floor.
Helpful advice! Use the plinth to install a water supply and heating system (boiler installation), organize a laundry room, an ironing and drying area, store canned food and vegetables (instead of a cellar). You can move utility rooms, a storage room or closet here.
Three-dimensional with basement
Large-sized projects allow rooms intended for relaxation to be located on the base:
- Gym;
- billiard room;
- workshop;
- mini cinema;
- sauna;
- small 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 point is due to the fact that materials for the construction of the attic are required almost as much as they are needed for the attic area. But in this case there will be additional costs, since you will need to do:
- insulation;
- finishing;
- install a 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 and ensure comfort in them. Therefore, the costs are completely justified.
As in the case of the basement, the attic, from an architectural point of view, cannot be considered as a full floor, therefore, it can offer much less usable space than it could in a two-story building. But this space makes it possible to create interesting and varied layouts.
Most often, the attic appears on the building plan as the second floor. For this reason, owners tend to place bedrooms and small bathrooms in the upper part of the house. The area of this area determines the number of bedrooms and their dimensions.
Cozy living room located in the attic of a one-story house
The attic may include several small bedrooms, as well as a hall and a full bathroom equipped with a bathtub. You can also place a storage room here.
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 as the 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 rooms using powerful solid walls. Externally, such a building looks symmetrical; it is possible to conditionally divide it in half into two zones: a residential part and an area allocated for a garage. With a free distribution of spaces, the garage room is simply adjacent to one of the outer walls of the structure.
Layout of a one-story house 8 by 10 m with a garage and a large terrace
Helpful advice! It is recommended to draw up the 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 have 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 limit yourself to just the garage, basement or attic. You can use all these elements to make your home comfortable and convenient.
Project of a one-story house 8x10 with a garage
Development of a one-story building project
The comfort of living in a home is influenced by many different factors. But the most important of them 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:
- the size of the rooms;
- purpose of premises;
- placement;
- connections between rooms and other types of premises, such as verandas, corridors.
The foundation part 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-developed drawings that include typical design and layout solutions. Thanks to this, the costs of the design stage are reduced, and not only the consumption of money, but also time is reduced. Ideas are implemented in a short time, they are as close as possible to the needs of the majority of owners of suburban areas.
Compact one-story house with original design
Planning stage of the building and its interior
The planning stage of a building includes several mandatory requirements that must be adhered to.
When drawing up 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 groundwater flows;
- location in relation to the cardinal points;
- buildings located on the territory, their features and distance from the site allocated for construction;
- connection to engineering and communication systems;
- features of linking internal communication systems to building premises;
- form of construction;
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 useful areas, subject to minor changes to the standard design;
- the number of rooms, their purpose, the connection between the interior spaces of the house and the features of future operation.
Helpful advice! It is recommended to combine elements of communication systems into nodes. This will reduce costs and eliminate the installation of unnecessary parts. For example, the kitchen and bathroom should be adjacent. This will eliminate the need to lay additional pipelines.
Three-dimensional project of a small one-story house
Useful information for the design phase
Communication systems must be thought through very carefully. It is better if you can reduce 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 good water flow. It must be designed to be able to normally accept the volume of liquid if a dishwasher and washing machine are running in the house at the same time, and a bathtub or shower is also in use. This point depends on the number of permanent residents in the house and the needs of each of them (as well as household appliances) for water.
Layout option for a one-story house for a family with a child
The connection of a residential building to communication systems must be carried out in full compliance with sanitary and hygienic standards. As a rule, wastewater is discharged for processing in a natural mode, which involves the use of gravity. Wastewater is discharged exclusively to the place designated for this purpose. You should obtain special permission from the sanitary service and properly organize the drainage pit.
Important! It is unacceptable to use storm drains and ponds for drainage. This may result in a fine from the health inspector or a summons from the utility company, as well as contamination of the environment and groundwater. Carefully study the rules and requirements for the process of organizing a sewer system in a suburban area.
Plan of a one-story house 8 by 8 m with one bedroom
The local network company may also have certain requirements regarding the use of household appliances. Find out in advance what the limit is and, taking this data into account, put electrical appliances into operation.
Plan of a one-story house up to 100 sq. m: interesting solutions
With the optimal location of the house on the site, the winds should be directed into the roof slopes. This reduces resistance and wind load during strong gusts and bad weather. Moreover, precipitation will not fall into the gables.
If it is planned to build a residential structure in a region where there are sharp and frequent changes in the direction of winds, it is recommended to use half-hip or hip roofs. Thanks to these structures, it becomes possible to form additional canopies and planes that provide effective protection of 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 decide on 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 about the location of groundwater, its direction, soil characteristics and other data useful for construction.
One-story house with an attic with an area of up to 100 sq. m.
Plan of a one-story house 6 by 6 meters
Made from wood or any other materials, based on the parameters and features of the shape. Square structures, such as a 6x6 m house, are considered optimal.
Note! The symmetry of the building allows you to create balanced and harmonious interiors. This determines the increased popularity of projects with the same length of sides.
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 the tools and technologies of modern design, here you can organize all the conditions necessary for a comfortable stay.
Considerable savings can be achieved through proper organization of the heating system, if a fireplace equipped with radiators or a boiler with low power is used as a replacement for it.
A 6 by 6 m cottage can be used as a country house or for year-round living
In a space of 36 square meters you can arrange the following rooms:
- living room;
- bedrooms;
- kitchens;
- small bathroom;
- boiler room;
- hallway
A good option would be to combine a kitchen and living room like a studio. Thanks to this solution, you can increase the usable area.
House plan 6x6 m with attic floor
Plan of a one-story house 9 by 9 meters
In terms of layout, single-story buildings of 9x9 m 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 the 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 sliding-type interior doors in order to save space. Installing structures with doors that are hidden in a special box placed in the wall will allow you to achieve maximum space savings. While a residential building with dimensions of 9x9 m allows the installation of classic doors with swing doors.
Layout options for a one-story house 9 by 9 m
Helpful advice! With the help of an attic floor you can partially solve the problem of crowding 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 staircase structure, which will not cause problems if the attic is included in the layout of a 9x9 m house.
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 truly convenient and suitable option for you. Construction of a house with parameters of 8x10 m on a country plot will allow you to acquire:
- four bedrooms;
- living room;
- kitchen.
3D project of a one-story house 8 by 10 m
And these are just the main living spaces. 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 that steal free space. In addition, a profitable solution would be to combine the kitchen and living room areas 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 take the form of external extensions (with the exception of the bay window), which are intended for use 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 with family or friends. The balcony will be a great place to relax and contemplate the beauty of the landscape around the house.
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 facade, and can also 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 an ordinary rectangular or square building box with standard parameters becomes. 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 for 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 can also serve as a full-fledged home for the permanent residence of a family of several people.
The advantage of square rooms is that they facilitate the 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
A building with dimensions of 10x10 m can accommodate a family of 4-5 people. Speaking in general terms, the layout of such a cottage allows you to create living conditions similar to what a three-room apartment in the city offers. The boiler room provides heating in such a house.
In addition to the required rooms, the owner can organize other rooms that provide increased comfort:
- arrange an office;
- increase the size of the bathroom and then install a bathtub instead of a shower;
- install a jacuzzi.
Helpful advice! If you increase the project to 10x12 m, it will be possible to add a guest room and a dressing room to the general plan.
An example of a successful layout of a one-story house 10x10
Plan of a one-story house 11 by 11 meters
One-story houses made of timber are an excellent alternative to brick and concrete. Cottages made of wood not only have a low cost, but are also environmentally friendly. It will not take very much time to build a building from 11x11 m timber. In return, you will receive about 102.5 square meters of usable area and a sufficient number of premises.
A building project of 11x11 m may include:
- several living rooms;
- kitchen;
- bathroom;
- hall;
- veranda, vestibule, boiler room.
One-story house 11 by 11 m with an attic and a large garage
It is recommended to use timber with parameters 150x100 as a building material. The horizontal type of construction allows you to avoid installing a staircase, which itself has a complex design and construction technology, and even occupies part of the usable space on both the first and second floors. There is no such problem with one-story buildings.
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. The dimensions of the housing allow you to organize:
- several bedrooms;
- living room;
Layout option for a one-story house 12x12 m
- kitchen;
- dining room;
- two full bathrooms.
Projects of 12x12 m allow you to organize a basement or attic. An extension in the form of a terrace or a garage can expand the usable area of the house.
There are many options for creating a convenient and comfortable building plan for developing a suburban area. The choice is limited only by your imagination and budget.
The thought of wanting to build a house evokes respect. First of all, you need to collect more information in order to be fully armed. Now I will give a short excursion about what you need to know and how to prepare in order to avoid mistakes as much as possible when searching typical house plans.
It often happens that a plot of land with a ready-made foundation is purchased, but there is no design for it. In this section you will find many ready-made breadings that you can use during construction on your own site. So:
1. First, you need to decide on the site and the distance of construction and further residence from the city. A site 5 km away and one 20 km from the city will have an order of magnitude greater difference.
2. What kind of soil is on the site? The type of foundation will depend on this.
3. The choice of construction technology is the second most important area, since the climatic features inside the house, sound permeability, and the strength of the structure as a whole will depend on the chosen construction technology.
4. Roof type
5. House layout- the most basic direction in design.
The planning solution may be the same for different construction technologies. The location of the rooms and their purpose will remain unchanged. Here we need to plan everything correctly so that the layout of a private house is competent and located in accordance with the wind rose, taking into account the location of the premises when designing.
Also when designing planning solutions it is necessary to take into account some nuances that have come into fashion quite recently, but are already firmly ingrained in the minds of developers. Such nuances are, for example, dressing rooms, pantries in kitchens, which are very convenient to use, and offices. More and more people want to get rid of wardrobes and chests of drawers in bedrooms, living rooms and other rooms, putting everything unnecessary into reliable and specially made storage systems that allow the room to remain as empty as possible.
This technique has long been used by interior designers to visually enlarge rooms. Also, a big boom is caused by the installation of cabinets, which were previously done in only 3% of projects. Agree, it’s much more pleasant and productive to work at home than to spend several hours every day traveling to work and back, at the same time standing in traffic jams and swearing all over the world. Working in your personal office at home, you are always calm and have more time for family and self-education.
Let us summarize the conclusion of the material written above. The main parameter of a house is its planning solution, which is convenient and comfortable for you and your family. And what to build from is not a question of first importance, since any project, like a construction set, is assembled from the necessary modules. We need a garage - we add it, we need a second floor - we build it on, and so on. There is a thickness of the walls, but whether made of brick or block, it is reflected only in the estimate and energy efficiency indicators of the house.
