Single-story projects
A one-story house 8 by 8 is statistically average and is the most popular. Occasionally, it is also equipped with a basement floor, which is often used as a cellar or storage.
However, the ground floor, if provided for in the house plan, can be used as a living space. There you can arrange bedrooms, and on the ground floor there is a spacious kitchen with a living room, where you can receive guests and relax with the whole family.
Today it is possible to create virtually your own project, to develop a construction plan completely from scratch, taking into account even such little things as external and internal decor.
Not only wood and stone, from which it is customary to build classic houses, are available for sale, but also a large number of other materials that have similar properties. in addition, some of these materials are much cheaper, and at the same time are not inferior to classic stone.
Very often, for external decoration, plastic materials are purchased that are stylized to resemble some other material, for example stone. This allows you to increase the resistance of the structure to weather conditions, and at the same time save money.
Even in a one-story house you can comfortably accommodate a full-fledged family. For example, a family with two children will live in such a house. You will need to allocate enough free space for two bedrooms.
In this case, it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that the children's room should be larger. This is due to the fact that as they age, it will be necessary to put desks in the room, at which children will do their homework.
In fact, it will not be just a bedroom, but a multifunctional room that meets all the children’s requirements.
In the parents' bedroom everything is much simpler. There is no need to install a large desk unless there is a professional need for it. In addition, you will need to install a large bed, a spacious wardrobe and a couple of small cabinets in which small personal belongings of each parent can be stored.
When planning rooms, it is also necessary to take into account the fact from which side the sun rises and on which side it stays the longest. For example, it is best to place the parents' bedroom on the shady side, because early in the morning, as a rule, they do not need to go anywhere. While the children's bedroom should be located on the sunny side as they go to school or college in the morning.
The photo of an 8 by 8 house clearly shows that very often the living room is located on the north side. This arrangement allows the room to receive a sufficient amount of natural light, and at the same time create a unique, pleasant atmosphere.
ATTIC PLAN
In addition to the common rooms (kitchen, office, dining room, sofa) and the bedroom on the first floor, the house has three more isolated rooms in the attic. Each of them has a wardrobe area and its own exit to a view balcony. You can also access the balcony from the attic floor hall.
1.
hall, staircase (9+7)16 m2,
2.
bathroom 5.4 m2,
3.
bedroom 12.2 m2,
4.
bedroom 18.4 m2,
5.
bedroom 15.3 m2,
6.
balcony 8.2 m2,
7.
terrace 14.5 m2.
The total floor area is 67.3 m2.
The house has a usable technical basement, which can be accessed by stairs from the site. Basement area 14.7m2. It is possible to install a descent into the basement and from inside the house.
Two-story project
A two-story house 8 by 8 is more spacious, given that it has 2 floors of free space on which you can conveniently organize living space.
In two-story houses, bedrooms are often located on the 2nd floor; this is much more convenient. On the ground floor there is a kitchen, living room, and bathroom. If necessary, a bathroom is also installed on the second floor for convenience.
Also on the second floor there can be a home theater or a relaxation room. Everything depends only on the imagination of the owner of the house. As a rule, children's and parents' bedrooms are located opposite each other.
An 8 by 8 house with an attic is a kind of intermediate option in the construction of a private house. this is due to the fact that the attic is not a full second floor, but has additional space that can be used.
In addition, houses with an attic are larger in area than a regular one-story house, but smaller than a two-story house. That is why it is considered an intermediate option.
Moreover, the costs of building such a house do not greatly exceed the costs of a one-story building. And the attic can be equipped with a balcony, below which there will be a comfortable terrace.

What materials to use
When building a private house, the first question that arises is what exactly is best to build a house from. When choosing suitable materials, it is necessary to take into account several important factors.
First of all, you need to take into account the climate in which you plan to live. Take into account its features and possible bad weather. Materials must withstand all climatic conditions in which they will be found.
For example, a house made of 8 by 8 timber is a classic option. The timber is strong and strong enough to withstand all climatic conditions.
In addition, if desired and necessary, it can be treated with additional impregnations that will help protect the frame of the house not only from moisture and dampness, but also from various pests that feed on wood.
Depending on the type of wood from which the timber is made, the price can vary greatly. This is a classic option that is very popular. It is quite reliable and strong, and not very expensive.
If you have a larger budget, it is recommended to pay attention to the stone used at the base of the building. it will help install the structure more reliably, and at the same time it is virtually not exposed to moisture and dampness, and does not need to be maintained.
And for the upper part of the building, you can purchase any type of wood to add aesthetics and beauty to the appearance of a private home.
ARCHITECTURE AND STYLE
JULY is a modern, classically symmetrical cottage with characteristic chalet-style details, which are used not only outside, but also in the interiors, and play both a structural, load-bearing and aesthetic role. Wide “wings” of a simple flat gable roof protect facades and balconies from rain; powerful wooden beams take the load from the floors and roof and transfer it to the walls and columns; brackets for balconies and roof beams relieve the load on the cantilever parts of the beams and decorate both the facades and interiors of the house.
To maintain the unity of style, harmony of interiors and architecture, the technique of prolongation of style and decoration of architecture into the interior space was used: the fireplace is lined with the same decorative stone that is used to decorate the basement of the house, the floors of the utility rooms of the first floor are lined with the same tiles as the surfaces of the porch steps, and The walls inside and outside are painted in tones of the same color.
