Before starting construction of an individual house, design documentation should be developed. It must contain all design and planning solutions, including calculations for the stability and strength of the building being erected, as well as its estimated cost. Based on the design part, working drawings are drawn up. They serve as executive documentation and are used at the stage of acceptance and delivery of the finished construction project.

Layout is the most important design stage

The functionality of the future home is laid out during the development of the project, which includes the layout of the internal space. It displays the location of load-bearing and enclosing structures, partitions, windows and doors, as well as:

• the overall size of the house, its positioning relative to the cardinal directions;
• number of floors, their altitude location with indication of marks;
• area and geometric dimensions of all premises;
• building material used during construction;
• location of utility networks and life support equipment.

A rational layout inside the house allows you to take into account the interests of each family member and allocate personal space for each.

Basic rules and principles

When developing the internal plan of a house, it is necessary to divide its total area into zones:

• residential, consisting of day and evening. In each of them, separate rooms are designed for adults and minors;
• utility, including auxiliary non-residential premises. These include a hall, living room, dining room, kitchen, wardrobe, sanitary facilities, corridors, boiler room.

The total area of ​​the house is calculated as the sum of the areas of residential and utility premises. It is determined by the geometric dimensions of the room, measured at floor level between the individual surfaces of the walls and internal partitions.

In accordance with building codes and regulations, the area is:

• a niche with a height of more than 1.8 m is added to the area of ​​the room in which it is located.
• under a flight of stairs is included in the area of ​​the room if the height of the stairs from the floor to the bottom of the protruding structures is more than 1.6 m;
• attic is calculated taking into account the height of the sloping ceiling. If it is less than 1.6 m, then a coefficient of 0.7 is used to calculate the area;
• attic, utility rooms located in the basement or basement are not included in the total area of ​​the house.

To ensure ease of use of an individual home and its practicality, the following recommendations should be followed:

• highlight clear zones in the internal space;
• take the width of the front hall to be 1.8 m or more, and the width of the corridors to be at least 0.9 m;

• comply with the standards for the humidity and temperature conditions of the house, its illumination and insolation, which will create the microclimate required for human life;
• arrange the greatest slope of the staircase to the next floor to be 1:1.25, and its minimum width - 0.9 m. The staircase should be placed in the hallway or hall;
• use non-buried or shallow foundations in areas with soils of homogeneous composition;
• design a house with several entrances. This will provide free access to a separate area, and will also allow you to comply with fire safety requirements.

Norms and rules for planning individual housing

Before the construction of the facility begins, it is necessary to obtain a construction permit by contacting the architecture department of the local government administration. Attached to it is a schematic plan of the land plot with the location of the house and all types of future buildings.

A residential building must meet the requirements:

• location of relatively adjacent areas, roads and other types of buildings;
• fire safety;
• strength and stability of load-bearing structures;
• interior layouts.

The legislative framework

The implementation of design work for the construction of private houses is strictly regulated by a number of regulatory documents, including the following:

• SP 30-102-99 “Planning and development of low-rise housing construction areas”;
• Republican construction standards 70-88 “Procedure for the development and approval of design documentation for individual construction in the RSFSR”;
• SNiP 31-02-2001 “Single-apartment residential houses”;
• SNiP 2.08.01-89 “Residential buildings”.

The standards of the above-mentioned acts establish the minimum permissible dimensions of premises with an area of ​​at least:

• common room - 12 m2;
• bedroom - 8 m2;
• kitchen - 6 m2;
• bathroom - 1.8 m2;
• sanitary unit - 0.96 m2.

What to pay attention to

1. To ensure durability, reliability and strength of house structures, foundations are designed taking into account the requirements of SNiP 2.02.01-83.
2. The total area of ​​the window opening in the room is set in proportion to the floor surface area in the range of 1:8-1:5.5.
3. The attic floor should be designed with a height of 2.3 m or more.
4. It is necessary to provide a ventilation system in the bathroom and toilet rooms. This rule is mandatory if there are no window openings.
5. The drawing inside the house must indicate the pipelines of utility networks for water supply, sewerage and heating.
6. The water supply network is installed only if there is a sewer network.
7. If there is a need to install a staircase in a small room, it is better to use a multi-span or spiral design.

What is allowed

In accordance with current standards for individual housing construction, the following is allowed:

• privately build low-rise buildings;
• construct all types of outbuildings on the site. They can be attached to the house, but in compliance with building codes and regulations. The exception is the bathhouse, which must be a separate building;
• place a garage, utility networks and systems (heating, water supply, sewerage), technical equipment in the basement floor, if its height from the level of the finished floor to the ceiling is at least 2 m. The same applies to the first floor. The only condition is the use of non-combustible building materials for the construction of walls and ceilings;
• attach an open veranda to the house to give it a presentable appearance.

What is not allowed

In accordance with existing rules and regulations, it is prohibited:

• lay electrical wiring on top of the roof of the house, enter it into the premises through a balcony or windows;
• place living quarters on the ground and basement floors;
• plan the exit from the sanitary unit to the area where the living room or dining room is located;
• install the water heater in the room intended for installing a bathroom.

Ideas for planning a private house

Before starting to develop the layout of the house from the inside, you should decide on the number of storeys of the future building, the number and purpose of the required premises. In addition, factors such as:

• maximum service life of the building;
• family composition, the likelihood of its increase over time, for example, after the birth of children;
• the likelihood of complete or partial reconstruction (redevelopment) of not only the old house, but also outbuildings;
• the ability to change the functionality of premises regardless of their original purpose.

The internal space of the building can be increased by arranging the ground floor and attic or combining separate rooms. However, the latter option excludes the construction of corridors that allow free movement from one room to another.

The layout of a private house is largely determined by its parameters and shape. It can be either simple rectangular or square, or complex, made up of various geometric shapes. In any case, the result should be comfortable housing, the structure of which takes into account the needs of all family members.

Interior design of a one-story house

If the construction budget is small, then the best choice may be to build a one-story house. Such a project will have an acceptable cost and short implementation time. And the development of a rational internal layout will allow you to create a comfortable and practical home for a small family.

The figure on the right shows one such option. It is based on a house with rectangular dimensions. In it, for example, you can combine a dressing room with a bedroom. This will create additional convenience for users.

Interior layout of a two-story house

Many developers prefer two-story houses, despite the significant costs of their construction. They are considered suitable for permanent residence if the height of the floors is more than 2.5 m. Measurements are taken from the level of the finished floor to the ceiling.

• living room;
• dining area;
• kitchen;
• utility rooms;
• bathroom

The following is taken to the second floor:

• sleeping and children's premises;
• common room for family recreation;
• master bathrooms;
• dressing room.

If the area is small, then several rooms can be combined. Otherwise, it is better to install internal partitions based on the purpose of the functional areas. The picture below shows an example of combining two rooms with different functional purposes:

A one-story house with an area of ​​10x10 meters provides some freedom of action. Of course, this is not a two-story mansion, where each family member will have their own spacious room, but also not a house with an area of ​​50 square meters, which accommodates not only a utility area, but also two, or even three or four rooms.

The number of rooms, their sizes, and purpose are much easier to vary when the area of ​​the house is 100 square meters. And there are many more projects with such a square footage. Consider the most optimal projects for comfortable living of a large or small family so that it is easier for you to choose the appropriate option.

A one-story house on a plot takes up more space than a building of the same area, but with two floors. However, for a family with children or elderly or disabled relatives, this option is more preferable - it is safer and more convenient.

And a staircase that would lead to the second floor would take up useful space.

But there are other advantages of such a building.

• The usable area is enough to accommodate a family of 4 or even 5 people.
• The level of injuries is reduced due to the absence of stairs.
• Makes house cleaning easier.
• The design of all rooms of the house can be done in the same style.
• The house warms up faster and retains heat longer.
• The house is square in shape, the number of solutions is large.
• The foundation does not need additional reinforcement, since it only needs to support one floor.

A one-story 10×10 house can be comfortable and spacious. The layout of the rooms and their location depends on the size of the family. So everyone will feel comfortable in it, including guests who, no, no, and even want to stay overnight.

Important: Please note that the stated area of ​​10×10 does not mean that its living or total area will be so. 10-20 sq.m will be covered by external walls and interior partitions used for zoning.

Therefore, the usable space with which you will operate will remain 80-90 m2. And this is quite enough - see for yourself.

The presented version of the house has a total area of ​​76.55 sq.m., of which 48.25 is living space. And only one room (living room) is a walk-through room.

• 2 children's rooms of 9.32 sq.m.
• Bedroom 11.58 sq.m.
• Hall 18.03 sq.m.
• Kitchen 7.32 sq.m.

The remaining area was able to accommodate a boiler room, a bathroom, a vestibule or dressing room and a hall.

If you don’t need 2 children’s rooms, one room can be used as an office or guest room. If the house is heated by a double-circuit boiler and a boiler room is not needed, the bathroom can be made separate or the freed-up space can be used for a wardrobe, pantry, or dryer.

Important: if you want to learn how to create interior plans, read our article: 25 best programs, applications and services for an interior designer. This skill is useful for everyone, not just professional designers.

A small family does not need additional living rooms. And if necessary, guests can be accommodated in the living room for the night.

Please note that the total area of ​​this house includes the area of ​​external walls and partitions.

• A corridor (8 sq.m.) leads from the entrance deep into the house.
• To the left and right of it there are doors to bedrooms of 16 sq.m.
• The corridor turns into a hall, at the end of which a room for technical and utility needs with an area of ​​5.4 sq.m. is fenced off. The area of ​​the spacious hall is 18.6 sq.m.
• The house has a spacious combined unit (12 sq.m.) and a kitchen combined with a living room.

If desired, the kitchen can be moved to the technical room, and the living room can be converted into two zones: a guest room and a relaxation area, or a cool home office can be equipped.

If you do not touch the layout, then in a fenced-off room you can arrange a boiler room, a dryer, an additional bathroom or a closet.

The advantage of this project is that each of the rooms, be it residential or utility, is not a walk-through room.

Rooms should be located in the house not only so that everyone is spacious and comfortable. The orientation of the house to the cardinal points should also be taken into account. So, a bathroom, kitchen, pantry, boiler room will completely survive the lack of light. But bedrooms, children's rooms and living rooms need long-lasting and sufficient natural light.

This project has a total area of ​​almost 80.96 sq.m, with a living area of ​​53.96 sq.m, and the living area consists of 2 bedrooms and a living room.

• Bedroom 1 – 14.37 sq.m. It can be a guest room, an office or a nursery.
• Bedroom 2 – 16.07 sq.m.
• Living room – 23.52 sq.m.
• Kitchen-dining room – 10.91 sq.m.
• Combined bathroom – 6.06 sq.m.

A vestibule leads into the house, at the end of which there is a boiler room or storage room with an area of ​​3.28 sq.m.

The area of ​​the house is 10x10 by 2.3 meters. These premises can be sacrificed if the size of the site does not allow them to remain. And make the entrance from the street directly into the hall, fencing it off, for example, with a plasterboard wall with a door.

The advantage of this option is that, having accommodated 3 living rooms in the area of ​​the house, it was possible to make each of them separate.

In a house with an area of ​​100 square meters, it is quite possible to plan not only the living area and kitchen and technical premises. You can also arrange an open terrace, which is the dream of everyone who buys a country private one-story 10x10 house. The layout of the rooms will be practical and comfortable.

Take a look at the proposed project for yourself. It has three bedrooms of 11.9; 12.2 and 12.5 sq.m. and living room 20.2 sq.m. The space between the rooms is a kitchen, which also serves as a dining room with an area of ​​13.1 sq.m. The toilet room is combined, located next to the entrance to the house.

The living room has four windows and a sliding door. The room receives a lot of natural light. Therefore, you can make a glass veranda behind it. And go to it almost straight from home. If this solution seems inconvenient to you, install a door instead of one window. And the window can be moved to the place of the existing sliding doors.

The same terrace, but smaller in size, can be made in front of the entrance to the house.

Any of the presented options can be changed. For example, moving a wall to make a room or terrace larger. Demolish interior partitions that are not load-bearing to make the rooms more spacious (loft style). And changing the purpose of the room will not be as difficult as it seems. After all, this is a private house, not an apartment in a high-rise building.

One-story house 10×10: room layout and its basics

A 10x10 house is considered a medium sized house. Moreover, it is a one-room apartment. And, despite all its advantages, its external walls cannot be moved apart to separate one room.

Therefore, it is worth initially deciding which rooms in the house are necessary and which you can do without.

• We need a living room. This is not a master bedroom, but a gathering place for the whole family. This room should not be neglected. We give him the most spacious room.
• The number of bedrooms depends on the size of the family. A young family may soon expand, so there should be at least 2 bedrooms.
• The kitchen, if its space allows, can also be a dining room. Even an area of ​​10-13 sq.m can accommodate both a cooking area and a dining set.
• The bathroom is one of the most necessary technical rooms.
• Pantry. If you have space, great. Otherwise, supplies are stored in outbuildings in the yard. But you can allocate a space of 1.5-2.5 sq.m. for it in any way in the kitchen or in the hall.
• Wardrobe. You can do without a separate room for it. Install wardrobes from floor to ceiling. This will solve the problem of placing things. Useful ideas and tips can be gleaned from our article on decorating a small dressing room.
• A dryer is optional.
• A boiler room is only needed if the house has a stove and steam heating is installed. But most families use double-circuit boilers, gas heating and install heated floors. Therefore, the need for this room disappears and additional square footage is freed up. And just right for a storage room or bathroom.
• Terrace. You can refuse, but you don’t want to.

We increase functionality without expanding the walls

You can make your living area more spacious by making adjustments to the layout.

The design of a house is based on the application of building and planning standards. Each of the family members in the house at the same time should be able to do their own thing and not disturb anyone. This means that each resident needs their own corner - a separate room. That is why it is so important even at the design stage, it is necessary to pre-allocate personal space for each family member.

With the correct layout of the house, when guests arrive, they immediately find themselves in the living room, and then do not wander throughout the house in search of a toilet.

Features of planning when designing

To make your new home cozy, comfortable and economical, you should correctly plan it, taking into account both the overall dimensions and the area of ​​each room. When planning a house, you must adhere to standard rules, the first of which is zoning the total area into two parts: utility and residential.

In turn, the living area is divided into evening and daytime, and then they are divided into rooms for guests, children and adults.

The day zone should include:

• hallway;

  living room;

  dining room;

  veranda or terrace;

Dressing rooms, bedrooms and extended bathrooms are classified as evening spaces.

The utility area includes a kitchen, garage, pantry, workshop, boiler room, and laundry.

The photo below shows the correct zoning of space in the house: on the right is the living room, kitchen and dining room, while the rooms are not separated by partitions. To the left are three bedrooms and a bathroom.

When designing and planning a house, they also think about:

size and shape of housing;

number and location of entrance doors;

number of storeys;

the material from which the dwelling will be built;

the presence of a boiler room and a garage attached to the house;

arrangement of bathrooms: in a multi-storey cottage they are sometimes located on each floor;

number and size of windows;

combination of kitchen, dining room, living room;

availability of walk-through rooms.

If you want to build a large house so that all the rooms in it are useful and constantly in use, you can consider having a winter garden, a gym, a billiard room, and a swimming pool.

The house plan is checked for compliance with building and hygiene standards. Each person should have 25 m³ of air. Otherwise, it is impossible to ensure normal well-being.

When planning the number and location of windows, illumination is taken into account. Depending on the position of the sun, living rooms and living rooms are designed.

The design for the construction of a house must take into account the view from the windows. Beautiful landscape, preferable for living rooms. Household and non-residential areas are installed in places where the view from the window is not important.

A fashionable trend is the arrangement of an attic, an open or closed terrace, a veranda. If it is decided to make the latter open, then they should be located on the sunny side, in a sector protected from the wind. The location of the open terrace taking into account these requirements will ensure a comfortable stay.

Source ro.decorexpro.com

An important point is the porch of the house, so the layout should take into account maximum convenience. The entrance is made from the south, taking into account the wind rose. Depending on this, they decide on which side the handle and hinges of the front door will be located.

Wind rose - compiled based on weather observations. Graphically it looks like a polygon, along the length of its edges the directions of the prevailing or predominant winds are visible - from which side air flows most often come to a given area.

The path to the porch should be level and provide easy passage in any weather.

Linking the project to the area

When planning the location of the house, they take into account the wind rose, soil conditions, and local landscape. There must be free access to housing, a convenient location for access communications for your car, the supply of fuel, building materials, and loading and unloading operations.

On sandy and clayey soil, a foundation with enhanced protection from moisture is installed. If this is neglected, the walls of the house will become damp and mold and mildew will appear. Depending on the structure of the soil, the permissible load on the foundation and walls is calculated, and the possibility of building housing on several floors is assessed.

The project provides for the optimal route for communications - water supply, gas, sewerage.

When studying the area, you should clarify whether it is possible to drill a well to create an autonomous water supply for the house.

Optimal house area

When planning a house, think about the number of rooms and their placement in advance. Dimensions depend on functionality. Children's rooms, for example, are not made large - they are cozy rooms in which the child needs to be provided with restful sleep and sufficient lighting.

The dining room should accommodate all family members at the same time - this room in the house should be the second largest after the living room.

It is undesirable to make rooms long and narrow; this is very inconvenient both in terms of living and when placing furniture.

When planning rooms, it is worth thinking about the placement of furniture in advance. This will allow you to choose the optimal area for each room and ensure rational use of space.

You can't skimp in the kitchen. This room is used most actively. Cooking requires sufficient space to carry out the work in peace.

Combining rooms saves space. It is fashionable to combine living rooms with a kitchen and dining room. This solution will make the room large and comfortable. In addition, there will be significant savings on materials, because you will not have to spend money on building partitions. They also combine a toilet and a bathroom.

Source ultimateplans.com

Passage rooms should be used rationally, these include living rooms and dining rooms. The fewer corridors and halls there are in the house, the more convenient it will be to move around in it. In addition, building a house with a minimum number of halls and corridors reduces the cost of living space.

Based on the number of planned rooms in the house and their area, the overall dimensions of the building are chosen. At the same time, you should definitely take into account that if you have a small family consisting of two or three people, you do not need to build a house that is too large, no matter how much you would like it. Let it be spacious and let each room be used for its intended purpose.

Premises that are not used by residents do not disturb them, but take away financial resources. Firstly, they need to be heated every winter, which means extra spending on utility bills. Secondly, when building a house, you are investing money in rooms that you will not use.

Source yurlkink.ru

It would be more rational to use free financial resources for more expensive façade finishing or to equip a summer recreation area on the site.

On our website you can find contacts of construction companies that offer house design services. You can communicate directly with representatives by visiting the “Low-Rise Country” exhibition of houses.

Which house project to choose: one or two floors

The possibilities of modern design of residential buildings make the name “one-story house” conventional. The house construction plan may include the equipment of the basement floor and the construction of an attic. A cottage with such extensions will turn out to be three-level in the design of a one-story house. The attic and ground floor cannot be called floors, but such premises will make housing more comfortable and increase the usable area of ​​the house.

On the ground floor they usually equip the economic sector, install sports equipment, and install communications. Here you can equip a boiler room and make a garage. The attic can be equipped with bedrooms and children's rooms.

If you are not attracted to a home with additional levels, you should plan the rooms with efficient use of space in mind. The house must provide premises for all family members, and the kitchen and dining room must be combined. The same applies to the toilet and bathtub. The construction of low partitions and columns will help to delimit the zones.

A two-story house is being built for a large family. Living rooms for household members are planned on the second floor. On the first floor, a living room, kitchen, and guest bedroom are set up. When several generations live together, the older family members are assigned rooms downstairs. Bathrooms on the floors are placed one above the other. This makes communications easier.

If you want to install autonomous heating, the boiler room is located near the kitchen, in the basement or garage.

The choice of which house to build, two-story or one-story, should be based on the size of the plot. If you have a large family and a small plot, it is better to give preference to a two-story structure. In such a house, you can allocate a personal room to each family member and at the same time save territory on the site.

Source centermira.ru

If the family is small, then a one-story house, even on a small plot, will be quite enough, because a two-story structure will cost much more.

When designing a house, they provide for the possibility of further expansion of housing.

Layout of a house with an attic

A house with an attic floor is a budget option for creating additional usable space. As a rule, bedrooms and offices, as well as children's rooms, are equipped in the attic. Relative privacy and a beautiful view from the window are advantages over other rooms.

To maintain a comfortable temperature in winter, the walls and ceiling must be additionally insulated. A large window will provide good lighting. When the presence of an attic is planned in advance, all communications are brought there during the construction of the house.

If there is an attic, but there is no need to use it as a living area, you can arrange a workshop there or use it as a storage room.

An example of the layout of a two-room house

If you decide to build a small house, consisting of only two living rooms and suitable for one or two people, the project provides the most profitable option, taking into account the small area of ​​​​the house. The kitchen and dining room can be combined, as well as the bathroom and toilet. Maximum use is made of built-in modules: cabinets, appliances, niches and storage rooms. One bedroom in the house is a must. In addition, you need to equip a sleeping place in the living room.

The width of the hallway should not be less than 1.5 m. If the room area is large, install built-in cabinets and shelves with shoes and outerwear.

Source bankfs.ru

In a two-story house, living rooms are located on the 2nd floor, on the first floor there is a household sector - a kitchen, a dining room, a boiler room, and a storage room.

The plan for building a house with two living rooms must provide for:

hallway;

common room;

• pantry.

In the project, you can consider a separate exit from the kitchen to the terrace.

Three room house layout

Such housing can easily accommodate a family of three. It is necessary to equip two bedrooms and a living room.

From the hallway you can provide three exits at once: to the kitchen, to the bathroom and to the living room. Thus, the living room will be a passage room and from it you can access two bedrooms.

A 3-room house should have:

• two bedrooms;

If desired, a veranda or an additional porch with access from the kitchen can be built.

Source yurlkink.ru

If the house has four rooms

Housing with four rooms is easier to zone, and it is suitable for a large family. The right side of the building is reserved for relaxation, the left for activity, or vice versa. In such a house they plan:

hallway with vestibule;

3 bedrooms;

corridor between separate rooms;

living room;

If the space allows, arrange a laundry room, a veranda with an exit from the bedroom, and a second porch with an exit from the kitchen.

In the process of designing interior spaces, the location of sources of natural light should be taken into account. It is advisable to design rooms in certain proportions, so that they are not too elongated along the length, and their depth does not exceed 6 meters.

Important little things that must be taken into account when planning a house

There are several planning nuances when designing a house, for example, the number and location of windows and doors, the presence of a balcony, and ceiling height.

Video description

See the video for the nuances of the 10x10 house layout:

Planning the location of windows

Living rooms are located on the sunny side. The illumination should be sufficient to preserve vision, but not lead to fading of furniture and wallpaper. If the layout of the rooms in the house involves the construction of a glass wall, it is necessary to equip it with protective blinds or blackout curtains.

You can build a standard house - in small bedrooms there is one window, in living rooms there are always two. If the eating area is shared with the kitchen, then it is better to make three window openings here.

You can give free rein to your imagination and plan special windows: long, round, tall windows with an arch at the top.

A large number of windows provide plenty of light and fresh air. There is no need to worry that they will cause cold in the house. Modern multi-chamber windows have excellent thermal protection properties.

Planning the height of the ceilings

Too high ceilings in the house will cause excessive consumption of building materials during the construction of the house, and then finishing materials. In addition, furniture in a high room will not look so beautiful; it will “get lost.”

A ceiling that is too low causes discomfort and creates a “pressing” feeling. The height of the ceilings in the house is determined based on the area of ​​the rooms. That is why it is highly desirable to create rooms on each floor of the house that are not too different from each other in size, with the exception of bathrooms and storage rooms, of course.

A small room with a very high ceiling can resemble a deep well. When planning ceiling heights, it is important to find a middle ground.

Balcony in a private house

Some owners of private houses with balconies hardly use these extensions. According to people, it is easier to go out into the yard or onto the terrace. That is why the need for a balcony must be thought out in advance.

If you want to make one, then you should not build a small balcony similar to those that are equipped in apartment buildings. A large balcony is turned into a work of art using forged or other equally beautiful railings.

There should be enough space on the balcony for a comfortable rest - so that you can put several sun loungers or a rocking chair, a table with chairs for tea drinking.

The balcony fence must be at least one meter high to ensure safety. If there is no canopy, snow may drift onto the balcony in winter. If the floor does not have a slope, then after rain water will stagnate there.

Conclusion

The plan of houses for construction should be thought out by professionals. Tell them about your desires and preferences so that the layout of the house is the way you want. Well, if there are no special requirements for the distribution of space in the house, you can choose a ready-made, standard project with the layout you like.

The decision on the distribution of space in a private home is a responsible matter. At this stage, the wishes of the owners regarding the location of residential areas are not simply laid down, but the proper placement of communications is planned. An excellent home layout will combine proper distribution of space, convenience and practicality.

You can do the process yourself, especially if your budget allows you to realize any idea. However, for the high-quality distribution of the available space, the correct assignment of functional load and the combination of the above with the convenience of living, it is better to involve a professional.

Work rules

Layout in construction refers to the division of space during the construction phase. All subsequent changes relate to redevelopment. Therefore, in order to avoid time-, effort- and financial-consuming adjustments, good planning of a private house should begin at the stage of laying the foundation. This is necessary in order to initially lay load-bearing walls and partitions.

The drawing must clearly take into account the dimensions of a private house and meet the basic requirements for the construction of residential buildings.

So, taking into account the standards for the volume of clean air in the room (23 m3), it is necessary to ensure the required footage and level of ventilation with special care. Sources of natural light are also important.

Kitchen

The size of the kitchen should be calculated based on the amount of furniture and household appliances planned to be placed in it.

The best option for a private building is to combine two zones: cooking and dining. This increases the volume of the room with benefit for functionality.

The optimal area for a kitchen is 10 m2. For a kitchen combined with a dining room, 15 m2 is enough.

Toilet and bathroom

For a private building, where installing a sewer system is a real epic, it is important to use space and material wisely. For this reason, the toilet, bathroom and laundry room (if one is separate) are located next to the kitchen.

This placement allows you to comply with hygiene standards by highlighting a separate utility block. At the same time, there is a significant saving on material and work on laying sewer pipes and water supply systems.

If each of the premises is planned as separate, it is worth taking care of the appropriate footage. The minimum indicator in this case will be 5-6 m2.

Distribution of area of ​​houses of different types

It is now too expensive to build bulky mansions that require enormous amounts of energy and resources to ensure their functioning. Taking into account the cost of construction and the land plot for such a building - even more so.

At the same time, compact buildings that fit on small plots of land and combine all the areas necessary for comfortable living remain popular. It is in such buildings that the competent use of space becomes of paramount importance.

If we talk about the classification of private houses, then we can distinguish two division criteria: number of floors and size. The most common are compact one- and two-story buildings with an area of ​​6x6, 8x8 and 10x10 meters.

Taking into account limited space, a popular option is a building with an attic - a living space equipped under the roof.

Type 6x6

Layout of a 6 by 6 meter house is a difficult task. After all, with small parameters, you need to place all the necessary zones and make the home comfortable for living.

It would be advisable to place a kitchen/dining room and a bathroom with toilet on the ground floor. The attic will play the role of a recreation room, which can be divided into a bedroom and leisure area (or a children's room). It will not be possible to distinguish more than two functional zones due to the dimensional characteristics of the room.

In some cases, home owners may sacrifice an indoor toilet in favor of a wood-burning steam room. And the correction of needs is transferred to a building such as a toilet on a personal plot.

Type 8x8

When it comes to an area of ​​64 m2, the process of allocating space becomes less complicated. So, the layout of a house 8 by 8 meters easily includes:

• hallway – 4 m2;
• bathroom – 8 m2;
• kitchen dining room – 15 m2;
• bedroom-living room – 22 m2;
• children's room - 15 m2.

This is the distribution when planning a one-story house. If the presence of an attic is implied, redistribution will be required taking into account the stairs (about 8 m2) leading upstairs. Under the roof there will be free space for two bedrooms of 20 m2 and 13 m2.

With this footage, space planning for a two-story building can also be freely discussed. In this case, it is worth increasing the bathroom with toilet, dining room and hallway, and also adding a storage room on the ground floor. And the children's room, along with two bedrooms, will be located on the second floor.

Type 10x10

An area of ​​10 by 10 meters is sufficient to accommodate all the necessary premises on one floor. The layout of such a house with an attic will allow you to increase the size of the rooms or, if necessary, their number.

So, in addition to the standard set (kitchen, living room, children's room, bedroom, bathroom), you can allocate space for an office or a specialized recreation area. If you move the nursery to the attic, you can equip a spacious steam room on the ground floor.

The layout of a two-story house of this size can be limited only by hygiene standards and fire safety requirements. Otherwise, there is enough space to implement the owner’s wishes.

It remains advisable to place the kitchen and dining room on the ground floor. It is better to immediately allocate 6-9 4 m2 for a storage room in a dwelling with a large number of inhabitants. At the same time, the toilet and bathroom can be duplicated for greater comfort of residents.

When talking about comfort, it is worth considering the needs of all inhabitants. Thus, the size of the building makes it possible to provide children of different sexes with separate rooms. This will be a significant advantage when children begin to grow up.

The placement of bedrooms on the lower floor should be planned, implying that the older generation will live in them. But the office should be located as far as possible from the most frequently visited premises. It would be better if it could only be accessed from the master bedroom.

When planning the initial placement of the home on the site and the rooms in it, it is worth leaving space for the construction of a wide porch or summer terrace. Such an element will not require significant investments, but will pay for itself many times over, especially in the summer.

Photo of the house layout

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
