Advantages and disadvantages
Design solutions for the construction of one-story houses with a terrace up to 100 sq. m are very popular among the owners of summer cottages and suburban areas. They have a number of obvious advantages.
-
The presence of additional areas for use. The terrace on the adjoining area is perfect for organizing a recreation area, arranging functional areas.
-
Visual increase in the area of the building. Single-storey buildings with this layout seem more impressive, and inside there is a feeling of spaciousness.
-
Lack of stairs. Such buildings are suitable for families with small children and pets, they are ideal for the elderly.
-
Minimum construction restrictions. Single-storey structures easily fit into even a complex landscape, do not block the light flux for neighbors. They can be erected on slabs or light piles.
-
Variety of layout options. The interior and architecture of the building can be created in a variety of styles - from country to modern or high-tech.
-
Good illumination. The terrace, unlike the veranda, does not block access to the natural flow of light.
There are also disadvantages. Area up to 100 sq. m limits the number of rooms that can be inside the building. The terrace is an open area; in winter it cannot be used without an additional canopy.
In addition, in small areas up to 6-10 acres, a 1-floor building may look too massive and cumbersome.
House layout options
The original layout is the main advantage of the houses with a terrace. The exit to it is often complemented by French double-leaf windows, which can be kept wide open during the summer, enjoying the views of the garden. Usually, in this case, the terrace is combined with the living room space, and it is combined with the kitchen-dining room. Similar design solutions can be found both in modern style and in the aesthetics of country and Provence.
A properly organized layout of a one-story house is an important component of a comfortable stay in it. In addition to the free or open organization of space, other solutions will be appropriate here.
-
Zonal. In this case, the space inside the building is divided according to the functional meaning of the premises. There is a separate bathroom, boiler room, boiler room. The kitchen is grouped with a living room and a dining room. Bedrooms are positioned as far away from the rest of the rooms as possible, minimizing the noise level entering them. In such a layout, individual zones can be fenced off with vestibules.
-
Linear. In this case, all rooms are located on 2 sides of the central passage - a hall or a living room, there may be a small vestibule at the entrance. This layout is convenient in that the rooms can be made adjacent or isolated, providing the necessary level of privacy.
The linear layout is well suited for one-story houses, allowing the most rational distribution of all the necessary elements in the interior.
-
Isolated. In this version of the layout, there are no rooms united by a common passage. All rooms and a bathroom are isolated from each other, and the corridors offer the possibility of comfortable opening of doors. The disadvantage of such a layout is obvious - a significant part of the territory is occupied by auxiliary areas.
The choice of a design solution is no less important than the search for the optimal architectural appearance of the building. That is why it is worth giving it the necessary attention from the very beginning
