Is it worth to build a granary in our house

On an example of this project of typical constructionan area of 313 square meters trying to figure out whether there is a need to build a similar house in our conditions. His thoughts are voiced by an expert council consisting of professionals in the construction industry. Houses in the form of barns, characterized by a rectangular shape, the use of natural materials and possessing such properties as simplicity and reliability, we are not so common as, for example, in the West. This archetype of rural areas is characterized by a desire for superiority of free space, which usually, on the contrary, is not enough. The house in question, as it is impossible by the way, confirms this, but nevertheless bribes with its own linearity and democracy. Alexander Lysov, architect: - There is a reconstruction of a traditional European, American or Canadian farm under the function of housing. This is the beauty of the house. He has a story. The house falls under the notion of critical regionalism, that is, it is a part of the culture of a certain locality and people. But there are no adequate prerequisites to re-create such an idea elsewhere, for example in Russia or Asia. The house is good in the place where it is, in its revised form. This is natural and harmonious. The shape of a classic barn is observed in the project inin full measure - a high central pediment, side canopy along the entire length on both sides, reminiscent of wings. Several inlets provide constant air circulation, which is already abundant in this light building. Alexey Khomenok, Massari Construction: - Building such a house in our climatic zone is impractical from the point of view of permanent residence. The house has six entrance doors, and in the living room the outer wall is made in the form of glass stained-glass windows that open like an accordion. Modern thermal insulation materials, as well as heating systems, converter type or radiant (infrared), will not be able to effectively cover the heat loss in winter at –30 ºC. The architecture of a classic barn may be in demand in the commercial real estate market (office, hotel, etc.), but it is unlikely that it will find its buyer among the residential segment. Violetta Paslar, Megapolistroy:- The layout is similar to the so-called stockings (in Soviet times). Even if you pay attention to the working diagrams, you will notice that due to the rectangular shape of the cottage, there is a lot of empty space that cannot be applied. The corridor zone will be expanded, and the living rooms in the area will be limited. And in terms of facade decoration and shape, the house looks more like a large stable. Alexander Lysov, architect: - If you still think about the implementation of such parameters in the Central Russian region, then the issue of heating will play a key role in the customer's assessment of the feasibility of such a multi-height space, the complexity of the implementation of this idea and the cost, both in implementation and in operation. Structurally, the house is simple, and its charm is read in this simplicity. The house on two floors has a huge living room,combined with a dining room. The door to the street can be transformed, if necessary, increasing the area of the room on a hot day. The ceiling of this room is a roof, and a huge window on the entire wall gives a lot of light. Structurally, a fireplace is also provided in this place. You can walk past the kitchen into the bedroom, the total number of which in this project is three, as well as bathrooms. Violetta Paslar, Megapolistroy: - If we talk about the work of the designer in the finished layout of the cottage, then it is good. A large amount of glazing in the premises will illuminate every corner of the house. The planning problems are also correctly assessed, so there is a lot of free space in the living-dining room. But the interior itself is a bit mundane, lacking in individuality. And there are very few bedrooms for such a square. The plan of the house is taken from the site houseplans.com.
