Projects of 7x8 frame houses are of great interest to many people for good reason. A competently executed layout of a house with an attic and other 1-storey and 2-storey buildings allows achieving a very attractive effect. You just need to properly understand this topic in order to eliminate errors and make the most of the available space.
Advantages and disadvantages
The area of 7x8 is in total about 55-56 sq. m. But even after deducting the walls and other unused space, about 50 square meters remain. m. And with a skillful approach, you can get the maximum benefit from such a space. To achieve this, you need to correctly select the material, including. Many experts consider a 7x8 m frame house to be a good solution.
A similar technology appeared in North America in the middle of the 20th century. In our country, the benefits of this method are also undeniable. It is possible to build a frame dwelling quickly, and the unit cost per square meter is relatively low. Even if there are only 3-4 people in the team, construction on the finished foundation takes about 30 days.
If you build the foundation and decorate the house to the maximum, then the period grows to only about 2 months.
Frame structures are characterized by low thermal conductivity, especially when modern heaters are used according to proven methods. The low heat capacity is also worth noting. Residents can limit themselves to heating only those rooms that are needed at the moment. Moreover, even after returning after a long absence in the winter, it will be possible to warm up the "frame" quickly enough. An ideal solution for those who are constantly chilly even in relatively mild frosts.
Inside, the frame walls look aesthetically pleasing. The technique makes it possible to lay channels directly during the installation process under:
- water pipes;
- heating;
- sewerage;
- alarm;
- electric wires;
- information network cables;
- ventilation and air conditioning systems.
Since a frame building is relatively light compared to a permanent home, the foundations may be simpler than usual. And you don't have to bury it deeply. The absence of shrinkage is also pleasant, since dry materials and individual blocks are used. The ecological condition of the house will also be impeccable. There is simply no reason for manufacturers to use toxic substances or otherwise violate established requirements.
A frame house can be safely erected in Kamchatka, and in other regions of Eastern Siberia, the Far East, and the North Caucasus. He will steadfastly endure quite tangible tremors; this is confirmed by the experience of Japanese developers. Resistance to temperature fluctuations will also delight people.
The house can be operated all year round in almost the entire territory of our country. Construction work is possible regardless of the season.
Also worth noting:
- simplicity of additional insulation and service work on communications, infrastructure objects inside the walls;
- resistance to wind penetration;
- maintaining an optimal indoor climate.
But this does not mean that the frame house has only positive properties. They also have disadvantages, to some extent offset by their low cost. A frame building, like any wooden structure, can easily catch fire. Unlike a brick or other stone structure, it will burn out completely very quickly. Even with the prompt arrival of emergency services, very little can be saved. This hazard can be avoided or minimized with special treatment and traceability and fire suppression.
Under unfavorable conditions, fungal colonies, including mold, actively develop in frame structures. That is why it is so important to calculate the dew point, which is not always possible to perform correctly without the help of professionals. The appearance of condensation threatens with rapid decomposition of wood and a violation of the sanitary qualities of the internal environment. The frame does not allow for optimal sound insulation between rooms. Even additional materials are unlikely to provide adequate protection against vibration and booming steps when moving, when moving furniture.
The supporting structures of the frame house themselves suffer greatly from vibration vibrations. Gradually, the rigidity of the joints will be broken. Driving nails into the wall is very problematic; but this difficulty is not too serious, because there are many other excellent fasteners.
As you can see, the potential problems with frame construction are not too great. Plus, a smart approach avoids many of them in the bud.
Options for projects of 1-storey houses
This is how a diagram of a one-story frame dwelling 7x8 m might look like:
- main living room 10.5 sq. m;
- boiler room about 3 sq. m;
- kitchen 10.1 sq. m;
- hall 8.5 sq. m;
- guest area 13.5 sq. m;
- bathroom 4.1 sq. m.
Another project can be taken as a basis. There is:
- boiler room 2.3 sq. m;
- vestibule of the same area;
- living room 18.5 sq. m;
- kitchen 7.91 and bedroom 7.7 sq. m;
- bathroom for 5 "squares".
One-story housing is now experiencing a real renaissance. Once displaced undeservedly by two-story and mansard structures, it nevertheless convincingly proved its coziness and comfort. As the above plans show, this space is sufficient to meet all personal needs.
The load on the foundation is less than that of taller buildings, and the heating efficiency increases. It will be easier to renovate the house, especially outside.
Layout of the house in 2 floors
A good frame house with an attic includes:
- bedroom with an area of 7.9 sq. m;
- bedroom on the second floor measuring 25.6 sq. m;
- halls 5.54 and 5.96 sq. m;
- living room of almost 20 sq. m.
In any case, a competent project must take into account the installation locations of heating devices and their characteristics. Inside the house, fire breaks and other requirements must be observed no less carefully than outside. Sometimes, because of this, it is even necessary to refine the initial standard designs.
The organization of a full-size cellar or basement will require equipment of a strip foundation. At the entrance to the first floor, people are greeted by a hallway, from where they immediately take a staircase upstairs. It is better to place it closer to the wall so as not to take up free space in the middle and to ensure safety.
If a terrace is also attached to the house, then it should adjoin the outside to the hall. The kitchen and living room, if they are on the ground floor, should preferably be isolated from each other. The hall on the second floor can go through and communicate with the balcony. But sometimes one of the corners on the upper tier is assigned for him.
Even if these simple requirements are met, there is still a lot of room for design delights in the interior, so there is no need to complain about the paucity of solutions.
