We discuss the pros and cons of a specific project of a house on stilts - etk-fashion.com

If you are looking for something special, then pay attentionPay attention to this house. On 310 square meters there are four bedrooms, three bathrooms and simply an indecently large amount of free space. However, in addition to the pros, there are also cons, which experts will comment on today. Thanks to the carefully calculated design, the house can be located not only in places with a risk of groundwater or near a river, but even in the coastal strip. It is not afraid of minor flooding, since since time immemorial, a pile foundation has become the best solution for the construction of such houses. And how nice it will be to meet the sunrises and see off the sunsets, observing the surroundings from above! But in order to understand whether the operation of the house really consists of only advantages, we turned to experts, whose opinions we present in the article. Sergey Timofeev, architect: - The design will be based on a monolithic frame with reinforced concrete floors, an alternative can be a wooden frame based on wooden I-beams or a metal frame. If you really want to, you can build it in our reality, but the appearance will change a little due to the increase in the thickness of the walls and floors. It is advisable to increase the slope of the pitched parts of the roof, clearly calculate the bearing capacity of the floors where the exploited roof will be, taking into account the snow loads of the region where the house is built. If you refuse piles, the house will visually sink to the ground, and under it there will be another basement tier, where a garage, boiler room and other technical rooms can be located. studiofd.ru Verandas on the upper levels provide views360 degrees, allowing you to see everything that is happening in the area, and at any time of the day to find a place to sunbathe. Light and almost airy design does not impair functionality in any way. The house is equipped with the latest technology, so there are even rooms for work, which allows you to build it really anywhere. Oksana Kashchenko, editor-in-chief of etk-fashion.com: - In the Moscow region, there are quite a lot of areas with a high level of groundwater. In order to avoid a lot of problems with waterproofing the foundation, it is quite possible to use pile technology. By the way, in Soviet times, in the 60-70s, many typical summer cottages were built on piles, with the bottom covered with a wooden "apron". Huge windows bring in a considerable amount of lightsunlight reflected from the light walls made of environmentally friendly materials. At the same time, direct rays are held back from the outside by awnings, providing the necessary shade on a hot afternoon. The common living room is combined with the kitchen, behind which the passage to the sleeping part of the house begins. Three rooms are located on the first floor and one on the second, but this number can be almost doubled if desired by adding rooms for other purposes. Sergey Timofeev, architect: - Houses of this type are usually built for a specific customer and location. Note that the house is raised from the ground on piles, and inside there is a spacious living room-kitchen with an exit to the terrace and a sufficient number of bedrooms for a large family. Such a house, with panoramic windows and open terraces, is still not suitable for most of Russia, with the exception of those areas that have never seen snow. Otherwise, we will face the problem of flat roofs and exploited roofing, which will complicate the design of the house and increase the risk of leaks. studiofd.ru Violetta Paslar, Megapolistroy:— It is better to make concrete supports instead of wood. This will protect the house from drying out of the wood, rotting and parasites. There is no rainwater drainage system on the roof, so it will flow onto the veranda. Also, the roof of the house is not very convenient if dirt and sand accumulate on it. In strong winds, everything that accumulates on it will go down to the floors below. The room, despite the presence of natural elements, seems cold and uncomfortable. More warm and bright colors need to be added to the interior. megapolistroy.ru House plan taken from houseplans.com.
