In this section of the site we have posted photos of log houses we have built for shrinkage, turnkey houses and bathhouses. Production in Pestovo allows for inexpensive prices for buildings. Profiled timber is an environmentally friendly material that is becoming increasingly popular, with growing demand for suburban areas among residents of Moscow, St. Petersburg and other cities.

Houses made of timber with an attic

When choosing the design of a wooden house, many people prefer options with a mansard roof. The attic itself is an attic floor, equipped for domestic needs or intended directly for living in it.

Houses made of timber with an attic have a number of advantages, which are key factors when choosing this type of property, among which are the following:

There is no need to construct a serious monolithic foundation (with the exception of structures that include a garage, barn, shed and other outbuildings) due to the relatively low weight of the entire house structure;

Excellent heat and sound insulation of timber even without additional finishing - these characteristics will be an advantage if the attic is used as a living room or as a room for storing crop supplies;

The durability of the structure is comparable to houses made of stone, and its strength and thoughtfulness minimizes the likelihood of unforeseen situations: collapse, leakage, etc.;

The opportunity to design a future house with an attic based on personal preferences - thanks to the relatively low cost of the timber and its light weight, the number of options for buildings that can be erected with its help is simply enormous, among them everyone can find something suitable for themselves.

In fact, there are incredibly many options for the design and interior of such buildings; in the photos below you can see only the most popular of them

How to increase living space?

Almost any small home owner would like to increase its size. This is especially important if the family is constantly growing or numerous guests come to visit.

To increase living space, you can resort to several effective methods , but it is advisable to take them into account already at the design stage of the building:

• Most often, the basement floor is equipped for this purpose to make it suitable for living. In the resulting room you can make a game room or recreation area.
• You can turn a one-story house into a two-story cottage. The addition of an additional floor will allow you to delimit the building and move the bedrooms upstairs, and organize a kitchen, living room and bathroom below. Of course, this method is very expensive and will require a lot of money. In addition, you will have to strengthen the foundation and load-bearing walls of the home.
• If you glaze and insulate the terrace, you can get an additional room. You can use it at your own discretion.

• By installing a roof with an attic, you can divide the country house into two levels. In the future, they can be equipped to suit every taste, since they are equally suitable for living.
• Even at the stage of installing the roof, you can plan a sleeping place under it. To do this, you need to create a flat horizontal surface above the first floor, and then install a symmetrical roof.
• It is not necessary to install a symmetrical gable roof. A single-slope layout is possible, which will create multi-level zones on the site below it.
• All of the above methods for rationally increasing the living area allow you to quickly and efficiently add several square meters to your home.

Interesting options

A 12x12 house has the correct shape, so it’s quite easy to place several living rooms, a living room and all the necessary rooms.
A two- or one-story project is developed manually or on a computer. The standard solution is to have two bedrooms, but you can develop a project with four bedrooms. Such 12x12 m mansions are used for multi-generational living. The bedrooms are located on the sides, and in the center there is a kitchen, hall or living room.

A 12×12 timber one-story house will fit harmoniously into the countryside. It is often built for country holidays. Although lovers of natural materials can afford to have an individual piece of nature, a personal harmonizing space for permanent residence.

Two-story house with veranda and porch

For a family of 4–5 people, a 12 by 12 house with a veranda, a hall, its own boiler room, a living room, 3 bedrooms, a vestibule, a porch and 2 bathrooms is the optimal solution. It even has an office where you can work or read a book. The extensive veranda allows you to arrange a summer terrace or use it as an additional utility room.

Combination of premises

Modern trends in interior design make it possible to take into account fashionable and practical elements in the design of a 12x12 house, such as the combined space of a kitchen and living room. At the same time, they are distant from the bedrooms, which eliminates the penetration of unnecessary sounds. The living room can easily accommodate a noisy company that will not interfere with the rest of other family members. The one-story 12x12 project also includes a separate room for a storage room, a boiler room and a wide hall. If the owners wish, part of the living room and the storage room can become a third bedroom. This feature of internal partitions is useful for expanding the family.

Houses with two entrances

For two generations or several different families to live together without crowding each other, a house plan of 12x12 m has been developed with two entrances - through terraces, two living rooms, hallways, boiler rooms and bathrooms. At the same time, it remains possible to enter the area of ​​another family through the vestibule, which can be blocked. This provides separate living and eliminates the need to build a second floor.

Expert advice

• The layout of 25 square meters of housing should be carried out thoughtfully and in compliance with important rules. This will allow you to make maximum use of the interior spaces of the house without losing their functionality.
• To rationally distribute the internal space, it is worth making the distribution of living rooms a priority. To save free space inside the building, it is best to combine a bath and toilet, and leave minimal space for the boiler room, hallway and storage room.
• Also, to preserve useful space, it is important not to fence off the kitchen room from the dining room. By combining two functional zones, you can win not only in terms of footage, but also in the ease of movement from the working part of the room to the dining area.

• Modern heating boilers are compact in size, so it is not necessary to allocate a separate room for them. You just need to hang the device on the wall in the kitchen or bathroom.

• To increase space, it is necessary to use vertical storage systems. In this case, hidden structures that open or extend when necessary are well suited.
• Furniture should be compact so as to take up little space. It is better to purchase multifunctional pieces of furniture, such as a sofa bed. Corner cabinets, tables and bedside tables can also help with planning.

Foundation

At the first stage of construction, a frame country house measuring 6x5 meters, incl. light one-story, build a foundation base.

For residential buildings using frame technology, a columnar, pile-screw or strip foundation is used. The choice of base is influenced by the following parameters:

1. Type of soil at the construction site;
2. Level of groundwater passage, soil freezing;
3. Total weight of the building.

After choosing the type of foundation, the site is prepared and the necessary materials for its construction are calculated. When choosing a columnar or pile foundation, the installation step of the support pillars is additionally calculated.

Building layout

A 5x6 frame house can be built according to ready-made standard projects with different layouts, for example:

• Living room according to a standard design – 10-12 m2;
• Sleeping area – 5 m2;
• Kitchen – 4 m2;
• Small hallway.

You can also add an additional closed or summer terrace to such a house.

A house of this size can also accommodate: a vestibule, a small living room, a kitchen, a bedroom and a combined bathroom. Additionally, add a veranda or terrace.

Country house design

A correct and rational design of a seasonal country house begins with the development of a detailed drawing with a description and indication of all utilities. It should display the heating system, sewerage, water supply and gas pipeline.

Some of them are not an urgent need for installation, since the house will not be used all year round.

To save money on building a garden house, you can resort to ideas that will reduce the cost of its maintenance and construction itself. For example, instead of a full toilet, you can install a dry closet.

It is best to install a summer shower at your summer cottage. A traditional bath or shower can only function if there is a full running water supply, while an outdoor shower has a simplified water supply system. It is not at all necessary to dig a sewer for it; you can use a bathing tray.

To save money, you need to abandon the heating system or install it only in a small area of ​​the house. Instead of a classic device, a convector system can be used. And the water supply system should be organized autonomously in order to minimize the consumption of drinking water.

Advantages and disadvantages of small frame housing

Buildings erected using frame technology for private housing construction have many advantages, for example:

• The construction of a small frame house in the country does not require significant investments. This is due to the simplicity of the foundation, the use of the most accessible and inexpensive building materials made of wood and simple finishing;
• Speed ​​of installation work. It is possible to erect a building according to a standard design of 5x6 frame houses in the summer within a week;
• A small living space is easier to keep clean at all times;
• Every citizen with an average salary can afford such a building.

But, like any other construction project, such buildings also have their disadvantages:

• This country house is designed for comfortable accommodation of no more than 2 people;
• The small area of ​​the building requires a fairly rational use of the internal space. In such a building it is difficult to equip all the necessary household premises and to properly plan separate areas for work and rest.

Benefits of a small project

For owners of garden and summer cottage plots who are making a difficult choice between a greenhouse and an extra bed, the 3 by 5 bathhouse project will be the optimal way to decorate their everyday life with bathing procedures. In addition to compactness, the advantages are the following features of such buildings:

• Sufficient capacity. The project is designed for the simultaneous presence of 2-3 people, which fits well into the Russian national traditions of collective visits to the steam room.
• Budgeting. The smaller the dimensions, the less materials required; The savings can't help but rejoice.
• Additional savings. If you choose a lighter material (for example, not brick, but wood or blocks), the need to build a reinforced foundation disappears; you can limit yourself to a budget base.
• Fast construction. The technology has long been known and proven, construction is carried out quickly.
• Savings in operation. A small steam room requires less fuel. You can warm it up by creating the desired microclimate much faster than a spacious steam room.

Interior layout of houses up to 30 square meters. m.

Every extra square meter on the drawing of houses with a small area provides additional opportunities for arranging the interior. A reasonable approach to the development of additional space is a guarantee of creating an optimal layout.

Possibilities of 5x5 area

The layout of a 5x5 house requires especially close attention due to the most compact area. Nevertheless, such a tiny house can become a full-fledged place for secluded relaxation for visiting guests or an isolated steam room/sauna with a spacious room for relaxation and tea drinking.

This space is also optimal for setting up a store, as well as an isolated place of work (it is quite possible to organize a creative studio, a library with an office for remote work, or a small workshop even on an area of ​​5x5).

Construction of the frame

After the foundation has been erected, it is waterproofed, a lower frame made of wooden beams and a rough floor covering made of construction boards are installed. Next, you can begin to directly build the 5x6 m frame house itself.

The construction of walls according to frame technology begins with the installation of support posts at the corners of the building. Next, the installation of intermediate vertical racks along the entire perimeter is carried out, as well as the arrangement of internal interior partitions. The installation step is already calculated in the standard project.

Horizontal cross members are mounted between the supporting vertical beams. To provide rigidity to the frame, jibs are additionally fixed between the vertical supports and the foundation frame.

On top of the finished frame of the building, a frame of wooden beams is made around the perimeter. The design is similar to the foundation piping. It is to the strapping beam that the roof truss structure is subsequently attached.

Typical footage distribution

The approximate distribution of area between the main functional areas - sleeping and common areas - will allow us to conditionally divide the house into two approximately equal parts:

• 3 bedrooms of 15 sq.m. each – 45 sq.m; laundry room, large bathroom - 8-10 sq.m., passages 5-7 sq.m.;
• kitchen, living room - 40 sq.m., hallway, passage areas, small bathroom, storage room - 20 sq.m.

When making calculations, you need to take into account the width of the interior walls and the area required for a flight of stairs in two-story projects.

Thoughtful construction of niches for built-in furniture, partitions and doorways will not only increase the functionality of the house, but also create the necessary comfort.

Principles for successful planning of a country house

The layout of a 5 by 5 house requires thoughtfulness and adherence to basic principles that allow the most efficient use of the interior space of the house without compromising its comfort and functionality:

1. Priority in the distribution of internal space is given to residential premises;
2. Minimum dimensions for the vestibule, hallway and other auxiliary premises;
3. Combined bathroom in the house;
4. Refusal from an isolated kitchen in favor of a common space that combines cooking, dining and relaxation areas;
5. Choosing a wall-mounted boiler for heating, which does not require a separate room and can be compactly placed in the kitchen area or in the bathroom;
6. Maximum use of vertical space for storing objects and things (niches recessed into the wall, wall-mounted cases and cabinets, shelves on consoles);
7. Purchase of multifunctional furniture for interior design; Corner models are especially practical, allowing you to fill the usually empty area of ​​the corners, freeing up more convenient space.
