Projects and planning of country houses. Garden houses with a veranda, turnkey projects Small house with a terrace

Buying a summer cottage is just the beginning. It must be planned out, the optimal house must be chosen, and the general concept of its design must be developed. In this article, we will consider a variety of country house projects. From the smallest for one room, to very spacious ones - for 100 squares of usable area.

With veranda and terrace

When choosing the layout of a country house, they often try to find a project with a veranda or terrace. Such an indoor area is good not only for relaxation or outdoor dining. On a rainy or hot day under a canopy, you can do a lot of things that cannot be done due to the large amount of garbage in the premises.

On a common foundation

Projects of country houses with a veranda have a small area: the smallest have dimensions of 6 * 4 meters, and the veranda takes 2 meters along the long side, and the house itself is 4 * 4 meters or 16 square meters (taking into account the thickness of the walls, even less).

Another option is one room, in which there is space for several kitchen cabinets and a stove, there is a small dining table and there is a sleeping place. This layout is ideal for one person living. Two people will feel good in it. In this version, there is no bathroom, so you will have to separately.

The layout of a country house with a small area (up to 40 meters) is quite simple: usually there are two rooms, the first of which is used as a kitchen and a dining room at the same time. Most often it is a checkpoint. The second room is living. It is more or less comfortable to place two berths here. So the projects of country houses with an attic of 6 * 4 meters are designed for 1-2 people.

If the construction budget is very limited, consider projects of country houses with a pitched roof. They are unusual for our country, but the cost of a roof with a small area is much less. You just need to choose the right one (taking into account the amount of snow cover).

A medium-sized country house is shown in the photo above. The project is interesting in that the veranda here was originally "winter", glazed. Most owners of open verandas come to the need to glaze it, and for a pleasant time outdoors. In this project, the veranda is a continuation of the living room, but a partition can be installed here. In general, a convenient and comfortable house with a traditional layout, all rooms are separate, there is a bathroom, a fenced-in corridor. All conditions for year-round living.

On a separate foundation

Please note that the above projects of country houses with a veranda have a common foundation. This is reliable, since even with the spring heaving of the soil, there will be no movement. But the costs for the foundation are significant. Therefore, this approach is justified on complex soils prone to heaving. On normal soils, you can make a veranda on a separate, disconnected and lightweight (usually columnar or pile) foundation. One such project is presented below.

In general, the veranda can be attached to any building. It can be laid at the design stage, or it can be added after (as is very often the case).

Small country house 6 * 4.5 with a veranda on a separate foundation

The veranda can completely occupy one of the sides of the house, it can cover two or even three sides of it. But there are options with a small open area (as in the photo above). The foundation in this case may be separate, but there will be no big savings. For example, in the above project, only 1.1 meters of the “main foundation were won”.

We are so accustomed to comfort that even at the dacha we do not want to have “amenities in the yard”. For many, the main selection criterion is the presence of a bathroom. Even necessity does not frighten them. Not all projects of country houses of a small area can boast of such "excess", but in some there is a bathroom (toilet and shower).

With attic

The idea to increase the living space at the expense comes often. It is believed that construction costs do not increase much, since most of the superstructure is a modified roof. In reality, if the attic is operated all year round, the difference in the price tag for a two-story house and a one-story house with an attic will be small. After all, it must be taken into account that the area of the attic floor is much less, and the costs will be high, since good heat, sound, and vapor insulation is required.

Attic roofs

A country house with a summer attic is really cheap. But it should be borne in mind that on sunny days without insulation it will be too hot there, so thermal insulation is still necessary, but not as "serious" as for winter operation.

The projects of country houses presented above are intended for seasonal visits. They provide only living rooms. A kitchen corner can be arranged in the room on the ground floor.

Below is the layout of a small garden or country house measuring 5 by 5 meters with a dedicated kitchen. Pay attention to the fact that the porch is attached and it is not on the plan.

All these houses are designed as frame houses. With minor modifications, these designs will work for any other material. Only it will be necessary to take into account the thickness of the walls, choose the right foundation.

If desired, the covered veranda can be made open. Although, it usually happens the other way around. Having built an open one, it is glazed or driven out to half of the wall, single frames are placed. If you want fresh air, the windows can always be thrown open, and the area can be set aside for a summer dining room or kitchen.

How to increase the area of the attic floor

All projects of country houses with an attic floor are made under a gable roof. This is good in the sense that the snow on such steep slopes will not linger. The second plus is a simple rafter system. The downside is the small area of the "full" room at the top. Too much wasted space around the edges. Wardrobes can be made there, but this area is not suitable for living.

If it is important for you to increase the living space, the roof can be made broken. It is more difficult to construct and more expensive, but the area of the premises on the attic floor is much larger.

Another way to increase the area is to drive out the walls above the level of the first floor. They say to build "one and a half floors". This option is good for summer cottages, which are also visited during the cold season. The roof can be made as you like, but a large area of the rooms is still obtained under the broken one.

Example of "one and a half floor"

When choosing a project of a country house with an attic for periodic visits, it is better to make the attic cold, and make the ceiling insulated. On the stairs that lead to the second floor, it is necessary to provide a door / cover that will fence off the upper tier. Otherwise, it will take a lot of fuel and time for heating. In winter, there are usually fewer people, visits are short-term. Heating up both floors is too long and expensive, so it's not a bad solution.

Projects of two-story country houses

Building a two-story house is not such an expensive undertaking. The foundation is still needed one, albeit more powerful, but its cost does not double, but 60% percent. The dimensions and insulation of the roof do not depend on the number of storeys at all, so there is no need to increase investments here. Costs for walls are added - their area is twice as large, but in general, the cost per square meter of area is cheaper than in the construction of a similar one-story dwelling. Therefore, many are looking for projects of two-story summer cottages.

The project of a small two-storey house for a summer residence with an attached garage: living area 100 sq. m, total 127 sq. m, garage for one car

The above project is designed for aerated concrete or ceramic building blocks. Suitable for long stretches. The attached garage is very convenient to use - you can get into the house from the garage. Another plus: this option saves space on the site, and there is always little of it in the country, no matter how large the site you have.

In this variant of the layout, a spacious terrace is supposed to be on the back of the house. It is not included in the total area of the house. An interesting design makes the house different from others: a large window of one and a half floors, a cube-shaped garage and a shed in front of the house - do not greatly affect the price tag, but make the house unique.

Another project of a two-storey summer cottage with a garage attached to the side is presented above. This option is more suitable for square or wide areas. The building spot in the plan is 10 * 10 meters, the living area is 108 square meters. High windows on the second floor give this house an unusual look. The selection of finishing materials, a combination of light beige and brown colors, also makes its contribution. All in all an interesting project.

A non-standard two-storey house with a balcony that encircles the entire building. On the back there is a large outdoor terrace. The roof is hipped, which complicates the structure, but gives the building a special flavor.

With a bath

For many, the dacha is associated with a bath. The bathhouse, of course, can be built separately, but it is long and expensive. In a medium-sized country house, it is quite possible to take a room for a steam room. It is usually done with an entrance from the bathroom / toilet, since water procedures are necessary. For true vapers, there should still be an exit to the street nearby: so that you can quickly cool off in a river or an outdoor pool.

The minimum size of the steam room is 2 * 2 meters, the optimal one is 3 * 3. Such premises can be fitted even into houses with a small area, but the amount of living space will decrease. If there should still be enough rooms, you can consider the option with an attic floor. One of such examples is in the photo below.

Pay attention to the layout. The first thing worth focusing on: the stove is installed so that it is heated from the next room. In this case, it is a recreation room. The option is not very good, as the entrance is far away. You will have to carry firewood across the room, which is inconvenient and usually fraught with a lot of garbage.

Another drawback: there is no kitchen in the above version. For summer cottage life, this is a solid drawback. The kitchen corner can be organized in a large room; in the bedrooms it can be placed exclusively upstairs. Another layout option is to make a kitchen in the current "furnace / rest room". It is more convenient to rest in a large room. It is convenient to go there after taking a shower.

Small and inexpensive

Small summer cottages are usually designed for the most inexpensive construction technologies. In our country, these are frame technology and wooden houses. Around the same category, houses made of porous building blocks (,). But they are still not that popular.

Projects of country houses for frame technology

Small country houses are usually built using frame technology. , you can buy ready-made - prefabricated. These are two technologies that, with a minimum investment of money and time, allow you to have a good country house.

To optimize the budget for building a country house, look for projects whose foundation on the plan is a rectangle or square. The presence of any protrusions leads to a rise in price per square meter. Not only do the costs of the foundation increase, the area of the walls increases, and, therefore, the costs for them. The roof is also more expensive - the rafter system is more complicated, there are more complex nodes.

Another moment for those who plan to visit the dacha in the winter. So that when walking back and forth, warm air does not "escape" from the house, it is advisable to make the entrance with a vestibule. If the area does not allow making it built-in, make an extension. This will greatly reduce fuel consumption and the time it takes to warm up the house.

Beam and log

One of the most common building materials in our camp: timber and log. The plus is that a small country house is being built very quickly. Minus - with prolonged shrinkage (from six months to a year, depending on the initial moisture content of the log and climatic conditions). Until the end of the period of active shrinkage, it is not worth carrying out finishing work, which delays the possibility of operating the building. This does not apply to standing log cabins (ready-made kits) or laminated veneer lumber. But the price is solid (twice) for such options higher.

Small country house made of timber 4 * 4 - a very simple project

If we talk about the smallest country houses, then they are 4 by 4 meters in size. It just doesn't make sense to do less. The layout in this case is quite simple: it's just one room. They can differ only in orientation to the cardinal points, the number and location of windows. The doors can also be located in the middle or on the side. Everything. The options are over.

A little more in area will be a house 6 * 4 meters. Here, in "pure" form, we have about 22 squares of area, place 14-15 in the previous version. The layout also does not differ in variety, but you can already fence off the kitchen area.

If we talk about optimal costs, then the above projects of country houses are not the best option. The fact is that it is better to make lumber or log cottages 6 * 6 in plan. The fact is that the standard length of both timber and logs is 6 meters. If the walls of your house are smaller, you either need to look for a non-standard of a suitable length, or saw off the excess from the standard ones. Yes, a non-standard costs much less, but you will have to look for it in different sawmills. Even at the largest sawmill, it is more than difficult to find a beam or logs of 4-5 meters in length sufficient for construction. So you have to "iron" everything nearby. It is difficult to say what the quality of the material will be. Although, if your "does not burn" you can buy the same non-standard logs for several years, stack them in piles, bringing them to operational humidity. All in all, this is a good plan. But it takes a lot of time for implementation.

The dacha is an outlet, a favorite hobby for people living in the city. The construction of garden houses is not only a technological process, but also a special ritual, for which they are carefully prepared.

Project of a finished frame garden house with a veranda

More often, the house needs to be placed on a limited one, therefore, compactness, convenience, a thoughtful approach to all details play a significant role when choosing a project.

Based on the analysis of the wishes of customers for summer cottages, the designers have developed many standard projects. The line includes inexpensive options of quite the type of change houses. , for placement on small, frame, panel buildings.

For suburban homestead territories with a larger area, projects of cottages from 100 to 200 sq. M., Including the attic type.

But before choosing a project, adapting it to the site, you need to take into account the legal norms for the construction of country houses. Formally, a permit for the construction of a garden house in a partnership with intended use is not required. But if you need to register a building, get an address, that is, transfer it to the status of an individual housing estate, difficulties will arise.

Construction of a frame-panel house

The high speed of construction, the good performance of the frame structures made them popular.

Their main advantages:

The supporting structure of the frame garden structure is made of wood.

Construction sequence

They start with the preparation of the site. It is leveled, cleaned of debris, and plants are uprooted. Then they make a bed of sand, crushed stone, tamp it.

Establish the foundation, the lower covering of the house. , roofing material is suitable. Install vertical racks, starting from the corners of the building.

They are fixed with an upper strapping belt. The structure is reinforced with bevels.

The process of assembling the frame for panel garden housing

Then they are mounted in stages:

The last stage is assembly and.
All wooden elements of the frame structure are made only from dry wood (within 12% humidity).

They are impregnated with agents that prevent the penetration of moisture, antiseptics.

Construction of a house from a bar

Somewhat more expensive. Their advantage is that they do not require additional external finishing. The timber is an environmentally friendly material.
There are three types of timber:

Installation diagram, the sequence is similar. The installation of the walls is different. Numbered beams are elements of a wooden construction kit for a house. Wall crowns are successively laid out of them. They are connected to each other with wooden fasteners (pins). In parallel with the assembly of the outer walls, the inner ones are assembled, inserting the elements of the partitions into the grooves of the outer structures.

Country house projects from the construction company Mir Dach. The noisy city life over time begins to tire with its dynamism and speed. But not everyone has the opportunity to go on vacation abroad or at least to their native seaside. And, to be honest, modern townspeople rarely find a minute even to go to barbecue in the nearest forest or to the lake with children. Therefore, for many, a small country garden house becomes a real panacea for the hustle and bustle of the metropolis.

Many of us have more than once looked longingly at country houses whose photos can be found on the pages of fashion magazines or on the Internet and dreamed of getting ourselves this little piece of suburban happiness. But there is an opinion that no matter how attractive the country houses are, the photos of which you looked, but reality hits your pocket, not giving you the opportunity to realize what you want. Although, these are only excuses, in fact, modern construction companies have long been offering fairly budget projects of country houses intended for middle-income people.

Free drawings and photos of projects of country houses you can look at the company's website. It would seem, why go to a construction company to build country houses of photo projects, which can be easily found on the Internet, and even pay fabulous sums for it. You can download the desired project or program for its development yourself, plan the construction and hire a team of cheap low-skilled builders. Of course, in the end, you will get your country house for permanent residence. But the question is, what quality this building will be and how much money you will have to spend on materials purchased according to advice from the Internet or from a near foreman. Therefore, it is better, after all, not to tempt fate and build a turnkey country house.

What are the advantages of country houses whose projects are developed by specialized firms with a full-fledged staff of qualified employees?

During the development of the project, both the wishes of the future owner of the house and the technical recommendations of a specialist are taken into account. Thus, you can be sure that in the end result you will have not only a beautiful country house, the project of which you approved, but also correctly connected communications, a reliable foundation, etc.
The speed of construction. Firms that have been on the construction services market for a long time try to fulfill all the tasks set by the client as soon as possible. After all, they do not need to look for a store with cheap building materials, transport for their delivery, workers.
Guarantees. Large firms are worried about their reputation in the market and are ready to confirm the quality of their work by giving legal guarantees. Having such a paper on hand, it will be much easier for you to prove that mistakes were made during the construction and to demand compensation if any.

You need to have some knowledge. Usually, for many summer residents, this is an overwhelming task. To draw up a project of country houses, not only knowledge of the basics of drawing is required, but also certain specific skills.

Project and drawing of a country house with an attic

In principle, country houses have an uncomplicated design and, it would seem, it is very simple to create a drawing of such a structure. But this is not entirely true. The creation of such a project is considered a professional task that requires complete project documentation.

Today it is very easy to download such drawings on the global network. Moreover, for each summer resident, a large selection of various house designs, materials, and appropriate appearance is offered.

Project of a country house with an attic and a balcony

For country houses, you need to choose the right one. It is made inclined or flat.
When the truss system of houses has a sloped roof, the rafters are attached to two load-bearing walls. For greater reliability, the rafter beams are reinforced with additional columns, sometimes a middle partition is placed.

The drawings of country houses also include a display of lathing for fastening the roof. It can be of several types:

solid;
intermediate.

When the calculation of the lathing is done, it is necessary to take into account:

Roof slope;
Material;
Fasteners;
Auxiliary stops.

Considering all the above features, it will be possible to create a project for a future country house, and execute it.

Planning the first floor

For example, an attic may look like a small room. It is easy to turn it into a dressing room or equip a bedroom.

Project and layout of the attic and the first floor of a country house 7x7

If a fireplace is planned to be installed on the attic floor, it is necessary to foresee the exit of the chimney in advance. For an aesthetic look, you can make a small open balcony on the attic floor. After the drawing of the other floors and the attic is ready, a roof project is made based on all the features of the attic.

On the completed drawing, the connection of all utilities is indicated, the location of the electrical outlets must be noted.

The facade of the country house is drawn completely separately, the appearance of the building is shown. On the basis of such a drawing, the angle of inclination of the roof is selected, the required number of windows is calculated. At the last stage, the material is selected, and the required amount is calculated.

Finished projects

If you use the already made projects of country houses, which are very easy to download on the Internet, you can significantly reduce the cost of building a summer house.

A variant of the project and layout of a house for a summer residence measuring 4.2x6.6

When choosing a ready-made project, you first need to determine how it should look like, how many rooms there will be in it. A suitable layout, dimensions and number of floors will depend on this.

Of course, in order to start building your country house, you need to have a good idea of how it should look. This requires visualization of the house. This is the only way to explain to the builders what is required of them.

The garden house is distinguished by its small dimensions. This is due to the fact that most of the plots in collective gardens and SNT are very modest in size. Six acres is a standard allotment, which was provided to almost everyone in Soviet times.

Typical layout of a small country house

Gardens of modern layout can boast of a larger area of plots, however, this land is more often used for growing fruit and vegetable crops, and it is impractical to put on it, which will occupy a significant part of the plot.

Therefore, the layout of a garden house must meet two criteria: with a minimum area, achieve maximum comfort and functionality. Appearance also plays an important role, but the presence is not at all necessary.

Projects of various garden houses are presented on the market today. They are adapted to all types of existing building materials. can be done from:

Such a variety of materials allows you to choose the best project for a country house. made of piece materials are more durable and reliable, but their construction will take a lot of time and will cost the owner of the site more. The price will be higher not only due to the more expensive materials used, but also due to the need to equip a solid foundation due to the heavy weight of the entire structure.

Wooden houses are cheaper and more environmentally friendly. The tree will fit very organically into the atmosphere of the garden. The construction of such a house is possible on cheaper and less laborious foundations, for example, screw piles are suitable.

If the house will be used not only in summer, but also in winter, then a house made of wood is much easier to heat up to the optimal temperature than a stone one.

A garden house based on frame-panel technology is a fairly new proposal, but it is quite justifying itself in this market niche.

Layout of a country house using frame-panel technology

It builds even faster than, since it does not require a long exposure of the box to shrink the material. You can start installing windows, doors and finishing both interior and facade immediately after completing the installation of the box and roof. It takes only a month and a half to erect such a turnkey structure.

The cost also turns out to be much more attractive than houses made of other materials. User characteristics are comparable to a wooden house, but the warranty period is about 25 - 30 years, which is significantly inferior to stone houses.

Number of storeys and dimensions of the garden house

A classic garden house is, with a building spot size not exceeding an area of 20 square meters. The plan of the house was extremely simple: only one room could fit in such a structure, and without a vestibule or a dedicated hallway.

Layout of two floors of a country house

The area was arranged rather chaotically, but most often the house had a kitchen table with a minimum set of necessary utensils, a sofa or a bed used as a sleeping place. The rest of the space was occupied by gardening tools, accessories, clothing and seedlings. As a rule, there was no electricity in such houses.

Today the requirements for a garden house have changed. Despite the fact that it remains a small building, it should not be inferior to a full-fledged residential building in terms of comfort and functionality. If it is still considered an unnecessary luxury, although most of the drawings provide for a room, then electricity is mandatory.

The overwhelming majority brings water into the house.
Classic garden house designs offer solutions with a building spot not exceeding.

Layout option for a small garden house

Rather an exception than a rule, and more. This is due to the fact that such a house is very difficult to harmoniously and correctly fit into a small plot, without thereby violating the rules for building collective gardens, as well as leaving enough space for gardening experiments.

If it is necessary to increase the available square meters, the building is expanded upward, that is, or a full second floor. This allows you to double the usable area.

This is the best solution if you often come to the garden and stay overnight, or if you host your friends and acquaintances here. For the usual needs of the gardener, the area of one floor is quite enough.

Layout options for garden houses

The plan of the house will depend on its size, number of storeys, the number of people who use the building regularly, as well as the existing communications brought into the house.

Layout of a garden house with a combined living room and kitchen

The use of electricity is provided for in almost every project, there may be no running water, since some gardens practice summer outdoor water supply and showers. Gas and sewage are the exception rather than the rule in the layout of such houses. A nice addition can be a small stove or fireplace, which will allow you to comfortably use the garden house even in the cool season or occasionally come to the garden in winter.

One-room country houses

This type of layout is typical for very small buildings. The house on the outside represents a regular rectangle, on the inside - a room of the same shape. The building, depending on the size, can be supplemented with one or two windows. The entrance group is usually located on the side of a wide facade. Roof type at the customer's choice. It may be, and it may be. There are even interesting options when the roof drops to the ground, creating the illusion of a hut.

The most common sizes of such a house are 3x3, 3x4 and 4x4. There are slightly enlarged versions of 3x5 and 2.5x5.

If you are going to build such a house, you can even refuse to choose the classic technology, but contact specialized companies and choose a ready-made option for yourself. On your site it will be possible to see it in a few days, maximum - in a week. Such a house will be completely ready for living and use.

Alternatively, the plan of such a house may include a veranda or a canopy. In the first variant it is a partially open or glazed unheated space, in the second it is a dark, completely closed unheated room. Both options involve combining with the porch. For the convenience of planning the area, the entrance from the street is carried out from the end, that is, in the narrow part of the annex.

Garden house with two rooms

Two rooms can be present in the drawing of a garden house if it measures at least 4 by 4.5 meters. In this case, it is possible to select a room combined with a dining room and a separate room, which will be a bedroom and a living room at the same time. Such a house can be equipped with a small covered passage, where a hanger for outerwear and outdoor shoes is equipped.

With a house size of 4x5, two separate rooms can also be distinguished. The plan of such a building can contain up to three windows in a heated living area.

The first room is the utility area, which houses the entrance hall, kitchen and dining room. Also, this room will play the role of a vestibule, blocking the access of cold outside air to the living room. The second room is a living room-bedroom. By the same principle, houses with a building spot of 4x6 can be zoned.
