This house is, on the one hand, typicala country mansion, but on the other hand, it is a wonderful and elegant example of how to think through a truly cozy and comfortable home. A beautiful multi-level building strives to please everyone at first sight. The house of a typical American style focuses on a large amount of fresh air, the presence of which is emphasized in every detail, both outside and inside. The veranda on the first floor and a large balcony on the second will allow you to relax in any climatic conditions, and if you wish, you can climb the observation tower, from which you can see all the surroundings. You can get there from the open area on the third floor. Sergey Timofeev, architect: - This house is designed in the limited dimensions of the site, occupying its area as much as possible. Hence its "tram" layout, however, skillfully decorated with architectural elements. This version of the house will be useful to you if you have a small rectangular plot. Layout with the maximum location of residential views on two end sides, and technical and utility areas - in the central part of the building. The structural part of the house can be made, in principle, using any technology, from brick to metal frame. studiofd.ru I am attracted to light, almost dazzling designs in the homefestive walls and large windows through which a lot of daylight penetrates inside, which is why the interior smells of freshness and cleanliness. This situation develops in each of the rooms, of which there are really many here. Violetta Paslar, Megapolistroy: - Facade finishing of the house with siding has a large number of advantages: the material is extremely resistant to temperature changes, wind and other weather conditions. In case of fire, it does not burn, but melts, which adds another advantage - fire resistance. These vinyl panels can be fixed to almost any surface: brick, aerated concrete, insulation, plasterboard, and so on. But in fact, such material also has many disadvantages. Its surface is easily damaged by impacts, any cracks and creases will be visible. It quickly gets dirty and will require frequent washing. And in principle, this kind of coating is already outdated and looks quite cheap in appearance, unlike the same brick or wood. megapolistroy.ru As is customary in houses of this type, the living roomcombined with the dining room and kitchen into one huge hall, which immediately attracts with its light walls and warm wooden maple floors. The chimney pipe, starting here, goes through the master bedroom on the second floor, never allowing it to become cold. The kitchen is good for its minimalist design, but at the same time, it is also functional. And four bedrooms will allow you to accommodate several pairs of guests at once. Violetta Paslar, Megapolistroy: - I am all for an outdoor kitchen! Think how great it will be for the whole family to grill meat outdoors, without leaving home! An excellent solution for the home is to use light shades on the walls - white and beige. However, in a child's room, it is better to use something less light or a surface that can be cleaned after watercolor paint, felt-tip pen, plasticine, etc. If you build a similar house in Russia, for example in Moscow, then you need to take into account proper thermal insulation, otherwise it will be impossible to spend the night on the first floor in winter. Use good sandwich panels, insulate the walls with mineral wool, and the floor and ceiling with penoplex at least 30-50 mm thick, and do not forget about the heating system of the house. megapolistroy.ru Sergey Timofeev, architect:— The house is full of exploited roofs, so if you are attracted to this style, I would advise covering the cold terraces as much as possible. This can be either an overhang of the second floor or an additional pitched roof. A good option is to place open terraces one above the other, thereby excluding them from the warm contour. studiofd.ru The plan is taken from the site houseplans.com.
