Choosing a house project for 200 sq. m, its future owner expects to get at his disposal a full-fledged space for a comfortable suburban life. Such objects are erected from different materials: from glued beams and SIP panels, from bricks and foam blocks. The layouts are also quite diverse: you can build a luxurious mansion or a cozy chalet-style cottage, a modern building in high-tech aesthetics - you can choose according to your taste and budget.
general information
Houses with an area of 200 sq. m are being erected on plots of at least 20 acres, since in a smaller area a large building will look too cumbersome, there will be problems with the planning of the territory. Objects can be erected from different materials, much depends on the architectural style and other related factors. For example, for seasonal living or construction in regions with warm winters, you can choose a project made of laminated veneer lumber or frame, prefabricated. It is better to immediately build a capital building for year-round use from brick or aerated concrete, foam blocks. This option is suitable for family cottages with 1 or 2 floors and 200 square meters.
Architects attribute a number of factors to the characteristic features of the projects of such houses
-
Careful planning of zones. There can be several of them on the territory - a kitchen and a dining room, a living room, a cinema room or a billiard room. The number of bathrooms depends on how many people will live in the house on a permanent basis. Usually they are made at least 3-4, and the bath should be present at least in 2. And also in such a project, the presence of purely technical premises is necessarily provided: boiler rooms, boilers, pumping rooms, laundries.
-
Taking into account the individual preferences of the owners. Each tenant in the house should have its own private area. This will allow several generations of the family to be placed in the common space without prejudice. In addition, the wishes of the owner must be taken into account when choosing the style in which the object is designed.
-
Number of storeys. Most often, private households are built with a basement or a high basement. In this case, only 1 floor can be located on top. In other cases, for example, if the terrain does not allow the construction of buildings buried in the ground, a two-story house is being built.
-
Additional structural elements. This includes terraces framing the building, verandas, balconies, carports, bay windows.
Large and spacious houses are well suited for families, but they are not very functional if accommodated in an area of 200 m2 for one person. The exception is apartments that were originally built for commercial purposes - for rent.
Layout of a two-story house
With an area of 200 m2, a two-storey house will be the most rational solution for construction. It will make the area around more comfortable. On the site that would be occupied by a one-story building, it will be possible to place a children's playground, a barbecue area, an outdoor pool, and a parking lot. Modern owners prefer to build objects of this size using accelerated technologies from SIP panels, concrete blocks - wooden structures from logs and beams are rarely erected. Creative design studios build objects of variable number of storeys from shipping containers: with flat roofs and panoramic glazing.
The standard layout of houses on 2 floors of 200 m2 includes premises such as:
- studio combining kitchen, living room and dining room;
- dressing rooms;
- entrance hall, hall, vestibule at the entrance;
- bedrooms for guests and hosts;
- bathrooms, including a bath and only in the form of a toilet with a sink;
- laundry;
- pantry;
- bath, sauna;
- garage (inside the house or as an extension).
Additionally, the plan may include classrooms, a library and a gym, a billiard room or bowling alley, a cinema. In any case, the space is zoned, dividing the owners' private apartments and common areas. As a style in the interior and exterior of the building, it is worth choosing high-tech, country and its subspecies - Provence, chalet, Scandinavian.
House plans for the 1st floor
Designing one-story houses with an area of 200 m2 requires compliance with certain rules. They are built from a variety of materials - from logs and beams, from foam blocks and aerated concrete, from bricks and prefabricated panels. Frame technologies should be considered only for regions with a warm climate - they are more suitable for seasonal living.
The layout of one-storey houses of a large area is quite diverse. Usually, a building is immediately erected with a garage, a greenhouse, a boiler room, and spacious terraces.
The following premises must be present in the house itself:
- living room - isolated or combined with the dining room;
- kitchen;
- bedrooms for residents and guests - can be divided into 2 wings;
- children's rooms;
- bathrooms - isolated bathrooms, showers, toilets;
- wardrobe;
- hall;
- auxiliary facilities for storing inventory, installing heating equipment.
The choice of a project in this case may well be typical. It is quite possible to find many advantages in one-story planning solutions. Among them - the absence of difficulties with the supply of communications, ease of maintenance of the building. Construction work can also be carried out in a short time, and their implementation will require minimal costs. A complex and expensive foundation is also not needed, it will be possible to get by with an ordinary slab, and in some cases even piles. One-story buildings have no restrictions on construction on complex and heaving soils.
When planning a roof structure in a house with an area of 200 m2, you can use different angles of inclination, vary the complexity and shape of this element. It is much easier and cheaper to heat a building with 1 floor; heat losses are reduced in it. The absence of stairways in the interior of the house makes it possible to more rationally distribute areas when planning. This solution is well suited for older people, families with small children.
There are a number of points to keep in mind when choosing a one-story project to build a 200 sq. m
-
Restrictions by terrain type. It is better not to start construction on a site with hilly and mountainous areas, with a large slope.
-
Increased requirements for the area of the site. A large house on 10 acres will take up almost the entire usable area. You will have to forget about landscaping or gardening.
-
The need for thorough waterproofing, thermal insulation of the foundation. The proximity of the floor to the ground will require careful elimination of all possible "cold bridges".
When conducting low-rise construction, the owner feels more free in the choice of stylistic solutions. The house can be decorated in a variety of design directions - from classic to modern or kitsch. In any case, it will look harmonious.
Examples of projects
The design of houses with an area of 200 m2 allows you to implement the most complex architectural projects and solutions. It will be appropriate here to use layouts in the spirit of hi-tech or minimalism. The most interesting options deserve more detailed consideration.
-
Cozy country house of blocks with 3 bedrooms and 2 floors with a four-pitched mansard roof. Inside there is a sauna with a steam room and a washing room, a boiler room and a spacious summer terrace. The living room, taken out into the bay window, looks especially impressive in the general plan, panoramic glazing provides a sufficient amount of sunlight.
-
High-tech two-storey house with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The fireplace adds a special comfort to the atmosphere, and the adjoining garage solves the problem of storing a personal car. The object can be built from concrete, ceramic blocks, bricks. The flat roof accentuates the modern appearance of the building.
