Spacious house (Vacation Homes). Spacious home for a large family in Melbourne

In order for the house to take up a minimum of space and at the same time turn out to be spacious and comfortable, it must be two-story, with a full, rather than attic, second floor. This construction option is ideal for building a private house within the city, since in cities small and narrow plots are usually allocated for private construction.

Rationality and style

Modern two-story cottages are designed with an attractive facade, energy-efficient building shape, and simple interior design. And these are just some of the advantages of house designs for a small plot. However, not so long ago they were considered less attractive than one-story houses or cottages with an attic second level. The situation has changed thanks to the fact that Lately Cubic architectural forms and cottages with flat roofs became popular.

The form of a two-story building, whether it has a fashionable flat roof or a classic pitched roof, fits better with the surrounding urban buildings, which often have a strict and restrained architecture. In addition, the facades, designed in a modern style using wide glazing, concrete and metal elements, are fully consistent with the urban atmosphere.

The square shape of the building allows you to distribute the internal space in the most rational way, obtain a comfortable layout, using every square meter at home with maximum benefit. In addition, square buildings are the most energy efficient, since on their facades there are no so many “cold bridges” that arise during the construction of complex buildings with protrusions, arches, bay windows, etc. The thing is that “cold bridges” are formed in places of joints and bends, and the simpler the design of the external walls, the better they retain heat. It would not be amiss to note the financial efficiency of constructing square houses.

A characteristic feature of the new generation of cottages is a flat roof. However, for one reason or another, it is not always possible to build private houses with roofs without slopes. Therefore, if the house has a classic pitched roof, then it is better to design the slopes with completely sloping ones, with an inclination angle of 30-40 degrees. In this case, the building will have modern silhouette. The roof can be four or two slopes. The second option is more economical in construction and provides higher heat savings.

On the ground floor there is most often a day area with a living room, kitchen and storage facilities. The second floor is the night area with bedrooms, bathroom, dressing room. If people of different generations will live in the house, then the two-story option will allow the most optimal way to divide the living area so that no one disturbs anyone.

In the layout of a two-story house, zoning is carried out by levels. At the same time, one-story buildings are zoned using a complex communications scheme, including additional halls and corridors, which, in fact, are not usable space. This means that a one-level dwelling must initially be designed larger area, otherwise, due to the corridors, the square footage of the residential premises will be reduced.

Economical

IN two-story house there are no rooms with sloping walls, as in attic houses. This is a serious advantage, because sloping walls require special approach in the arrangement of rooms, as well as the use of expensive roof windows.

Despite the fact that a one-story cottage requires the construction of a foundation with less bearing capacity, and does not require the installation of internal stairs, arranging the foundation for a two-story house is still cheaper. It's all about the footprint of the building. For two-level houses with a full second floor, a stronger foundation is needed, but its area is half as large, hence the savings.

When building two-story cottages, it is also more economical to install communication systems. So, in a one-story house you need to provide at least two bathrooms, and they should be located in different parts buildings, and therefore it is necessary to stretch water and sewer pipes. It is especially difficult to ensure supply hot water. In a two-story house, the bathrooms are simply placed one above the other, and on the ground floor the kitchen and bathroom are planned side by side, and thus save on the installation and operation of communications.

Another important advantage of two-story buildings is that they can be built in stages, and over time they can be modernized and completed. For example, you can first build only the lower floor of the house and cover it with a roof. Later, as the family grows, you can build a second floor. Even later, if necessary, you can convert the under-roof space into an attic.

A modern energy-saving two-story cottage is not only economical to operate. It also compares favorably with other types of private houses by its guaranteed high market value. Energy-efficient housing, built taking into account the latest architectural trends, can be sold quickly and expensively if necessary.

Seeing the father's house means the death of a close relative;

Your home needs major renovation- to a serious illness of someone close to you; your house is collapsing before your eyes - quarrels and scandals in the family can lead to divorce;

By modern standards, a house up to 100 m2 is regarded as small (for a family of 4 people). But if by coincidence you don’t have to count on more, don’t be upset! A compact house can be very cozy, comfortable and functional! Although, of course, I would like it to be at least visually larger. Read in this article what changes need to be made to the architectural and planning solutions to make the house feel more spacious!

• Open plan. This applies primarily to the layout of the daytime area of ​​the house: the kitchen, dining room and living room, combined into a single space, look much freer. The mezzanine (open space instead of a ceiling) above the living room adds even more space. Many Z500 house designs can be made more open on your own by removing one or more wall partitions (the wall partition on the layout is drawn thinner than the load-bearing wall).
• Functional layout with a minimum area of ​​connecting rooms. It assumes:

• That all rooms in the house are used for their intended purpose: the living room for gatherings with friends and family, the kitchen for cooking, and the dining room for eating. Then the rooms will not be cramped, but practical and cozy, where everything is at hand. You won't trip over a rocking chair or intricately bend around the dining table on the way from the refrigerator to the stove.
• The rooms are located in a convenient sequence with each other: one of the bathrooms next to the hallway, a storage room next to the kitchen, technical rooms next to the garage and/or kitchen, as well as under the stairs, bathrooms next to the bedrooms.
• At the same time, for a small house it is important that the corridors, hall, and staircase take up very little space from the living area. Then more space goes to the living rooms.

• Large windows and good lighting. Large, elongated windows visually unite the internal and external space, so the interior is perceived as more spacious. If you think that the windows in the chosen project are small, you can enlarge them, but do not forget that the ratio of the window area to the floor in the room should be no more than 1:8, otherwise it will be expensive to heat it in winter period. The brighter the room, the larger it looks. Therefore, it is very important to position a small house correctly on the site so that the living rooms face south. Depending on the project, it is possible to move the window from one wall to another.
• Terrace. Comfortably furnished, it is like a continuation of the living room and visually enlarges it. At your request, we can add it, make it larger, make it more open or closed.
• Attic wall height. By slightly increasing the height of the attic wall of the attic (by 30 cm), you will add space to the bedrooms, while appearance the house will not be damaged. How to correctly change the height of the attic wall in a house project, read our article: HOW TO MAKE AN ATTIQUE COMFORTABLE: HEIGHT OF THE ATTICA WALL.

And now the most important thing! If you have chosen the Z500 projects, it is not at all necessary to include everything in the project of a house up to 100 sq.m. these changes. In many of our house projects up to 100 m, all these requirements have already been met. All you have to do is pay due attention to them and find your home that best suits your personal preferences. If necessary changes need to be done, do them only in agreement with the architect, so as not to overdo it and make mistakes.
