Projects of 8x8 m frame houses can be very attractive. A clear layout of a two-story house with a balcony is extremely important. It is necessary to pay attention to the plans for a two-story house with a bay window, a terrace and other options.
Advantages and disadvantages
Speaking about the characteristics of a frame house 8x8 m, it is necessary to find out all the nuances of such housing. It is often used in the construction of houses on their sites according to individual programs. The fashion for large, impressive cottages is long gone. Buildings from 150 sq. m and more are hardly suitable for families of 3 or 4 people. And you will have to pay a lot of taxes for them.
It is quite simple to maintain a dwelling of 8x8 m. Compared to large cottages, the gain is in relation to:
- construction costs;
- capital and cosmetic repair costs;
- payment for heating, electricity;
- simplification of ventilation and air conditioning;
- difficulties with cleaning.
At the same time, the size of 8x8 m is not so small - it is suitable not only for seasonal, but also for permanent habitation. A medium-sized cottage according to the project ideally meets the needs of most undemanding customers. This is a convenient and massive option. With proper arrangement, you can provide an excellent level of comfort. Despite the fact that 8x8 m houses have fewer layouts than large cottages, they are still quite enough for a choice.
Difficulties can arise when integrating a garage into a home. It is also hard to put a sauna and a gym in your home. However, the solution to the problem is the location of the bathhouse on the site and the equipment of the sports ground.
Another option is to use a two-story or attic scheme. This greatly facilitates the selection of the layout and the structuring of the premises.
Most often, the first tier, in addition to the entrance hall and the terrace, may include:
- combined kitchen and guest area;
- a small bedroom that also serves as a guest room;
- bathroom;
- boiler room.
By combining the kitchen and living room, the hosts benefit greatly. There is a sense of visual freedom and the space in the room is increased. But in order to provide such advantages with limited dimensions, everything must be very carefully zoned. The second level is usually assigned to:
- master bedroom;
- bathroom;
- a guest bedroom (sometimes 2 such bedrooms are made at once);
- the corridor.
But it is important to analyze one more point - the parameters of the frame house. Such buildings can significantly save money. Even the simplest brick building of the same area will cost 10-20% more, and this is still an optimistic estimate. No matter what critics of frame construction say, the difference in cost makes itself felt even with the strictest adherence to the nuances of technology and more stringent parameters than established in the standards.
The lightness of the frame makes it possible to dispense with a pile-screw or any other simplified type of foundation. Therefore, in this respect, amateur builders win. Then, when they move into a frame house, they find that it is quite warm and well insulates the residents from water and wind.
And also the excellent retention of coolness in summer, even without the use of air conditioners, testifies in favor of the "skeleton". The heating rate increases significantly (with identical power of heating devices).
You can build a frame dwelling, regardless of the season. Work does not require additional heating of materials or the use of liquid solutions. Finishing the surface is not difficult. The frame is also much more resistant to seismic shocks than brick or traditional stone blocks. Of the negative aspects, it should be highlighted:
- flammability (correctable, of course, but with additional costs - and at the expense of environmental friendliness);
- the need to mount wires only in a special corrugation;
- the need to be limited to non-combustible materials when finishing;
- the need for refractory materials in the most hazardous areas;
- the relative high cost of dry boards and the rarity of this material;
- fragility of structures;
- limited term of use (however, 50-70 years is still decent).
Frame construction technology appeared in a completely different climatic zone. And it is impossible to transfer it mechanically to Russian conditions. Moreover, it is necessary to adapt the methodology to the requirements of a particular region. One more nuance: you should not think that a frame house made of raw boards, dried in an atmospheric way, will be good enough. The classical methodology involves the use of kiln-dried wood, which is specifically designed specifically for construction.
However, for reasons of economy, many houses are built from semi-raw wood. Therefore, there are complaints about cracking, shrinkage, and so on. Another nuance is that no means of insulation and modern materials can cancel the "thermos mode".
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to refuse high-quality forced ventilation. It also greatly increases the cost of construction and requires meticulous study by engineers.
Summarizing what has been said, it should also be noted that the frame dwelling should be built by highly qualified professionals. It is not easy to find intelligent specialists who know all the subtleties. Paying for their services can devalue all savings. When ordering installation from the first workers who come across according to the announcement, you can face serious problems. Therefore, the choice of the type of home is a particularly responsible business and requires a thoughtful approach.
Choosing a layout option for a one-story house
With bay window
But if the decision is made firmly in favor of frame construction, then you can consider a drawing with a bay window. The scheme includes:
- bathroom;
- 10-meter kitchen and dining area;
- living room of 8 sq. m;
- terrace;
- living room (under which the bay window was taken);
- medium-sized vestibule.
With terrace
In this case, the plan also provides for the presence of a bathroom. In addition to him, there is a large veranda. Bedroom area 10.6 sq. m is enough for two people. The location of the kitchen minimizes the length of water and sewer pipes. In general, the house, although laconic, is quite comfortable.
With garage
A 20-meter garage is quite convenient for motorists. The living room area is slightly larger - almost 23 m2. When passing from the terrace, people first enter the vestibule. There is an entrance hall, a dining room and a kitchen. The bathroom is large enough to be comfortable to use.
Placing rooms in a two-story house
Here the scheme is as follows:
- from the porch you can go to the vestibule;
- from the vestibule they enter either the living room or the bathroom;
- from the living room there is a passage to the kitchen;
- you can get into the boiler room only through a separate entrance;
- the second floor is equipped with a balcony, and the rest of the space was allocated for bedrooms and a hall.
Beautiful examples
Light green houses not only look pleasant, but also surprise with their freshness. They are quite rare, bringing in a touch of originality. In this case, the effect is enhanced by the complex-shaped roof and graceful porch.
Here, the roof is also far from simple geometric shapes (as are the contours of the walls). Outwardly, it turned out no worse than in the previous case.
