If you want to build an extraordinary house, unlike your neighbors’ house, take a closer look at the houses under pitched roof. It gives the building originality. In addition, one pitched roof- the simplest one in the device. So simple that you can easily do it yourself.
Shed roofs are considered the most inexpensive and easiest to install. And this is true, especially with the small width of the building. However, in our country, houses with pitched roofs are very rare. For the most part, this is due to the fact that two or four pitched roofs are more familiar to us - they look more familiar. The second catch is to find a project adapted to our weather. There are a lot of projects on Western resources, but they are designed for a milder climate and, as a rule, have large area glazing. Finding an architect who will competently change a project you like is very difficult. But if you succeed, and the harmony of the building is not disturbed, the house turns out to be very original.
Many people are afraid of uneven ceilings in some parts of the building. They are, of course, more difficult to beat than standard ones, but the result is of a completely different level - 100% original. True, this time, find a designer who can develop similar interior in the vastness of our Motherland it is very difficult, but nevertheless possible.
There is another way out - to level the ceilings by overlapping, and use the free space under the roof as technical rooms. Such options have been implemented and the owners are very satisfied. Yes, technical rooms are in ground floor, and at the top, but there are no problems with groundwater.
These are, perhaps, all the disadvantages or pitfalls that a pitched roof can bring. There is, however, one more point that can hardly be called a disadvantage. Due to the peculiarity of the structure, the roofing material on such houses is not visible from the ground. If the terrain is flat, without large differences in elevation, there is no point in bothering with the appearance of the roof. It is better to choose simple-looking, but high-quality materials, quiet (the plane is large, it makes a lot of noise when it rains) and reliable. One of the popular options is seam roofing. It provides the proper degree of tightness and is not very noisy. Another option is made from modern materials. Such roofs are even quieter, and modern materials can be used for 20-30 years without repair.
Organize the required slope of the pitched roof due to the difference in heights of the opposite walls. One wall of the building turns out to be significantly higher than the other. This leads to increased consumption of materials for the walls, but the rafter system is very simple, especially for buildings of small width.
With sufficient bearing capacity walls, the truss system of a pitched roof rests on a mauerlat attached to the wall. To make the load distribution more uniform, the top row of the wall masonry is reinforced with longitudinal reinforcement (for brick walls, from concrete blocks) or an armored belt is poured over the last row (for walls made of limestone, shell rock). In the case of wooden or frame structure The role of the Mauerlat is usually performed by the last crown or top trim.
If there is insufficient strength building material walls, most of the load can be transferred to the ceiling. To do this, install racks (steps of about 1 meter), on which purlins are laid - long bars running along the building. The rafter legs then rest on them.
When pouring an armored belt or laying the last row, studs are installed into it in increments of 80-100 cm, with the help of which the mauerlat is then attached to the walls of the building. In wooden houses, if you do not make an armored belt, it is impossible to install studs. In this case, installation on pins with a hexagonal head is allowed. Under the pin, through the Mauerlat, a hole is drilled, a couple of millimeters smaller than the diameter of the pin. A metal rod is hammered into it, which attracts wooden beam to Wall. The connection is tightened using a hex wrench of the required size.
Such roofs are especially popular in the construction of courtyard buildings - sheds, garages. It’s just that the size of the buildings allows the use of not very powerful beams, and beams are required in small quantity. With a building width of up to 6 meters, the rafter system of a pitched roof contains almost no additional reinforcing elements (supports and purlins), which is beneficial. Also attractive is the absence of complex knots.
For Middle zone In Russia, for a span of up to 5.5 meters, beams of 50-150 mm are taken; up to 4 meters, 50-100 mm is enough, although in an amicable way, you need to consider the snow and wind load specifically in your region, and, based on this, determine the parameters of the beams .
With a distance between the walls of up to 4.5 meters, the pitched roof consists of two mauerlat bars fixed to the walls, and rafter legs that rest on the mauerlat. Really very simple design.
With a span width of 4.5 meters to 6 meters, a support is also required, fixed to a higher wall at the floor level and a rafter leg that rests on the beam almost in the middle. The slope angle of this beam depends on the distance between the walls and the level of installation of the beam.
More complex rafter systems in a pitched roof with a building width of more than 6 meters. In this case, it is optimal if the house is designed in such a way that there is also a load-bearing wall inside on which the racks rest. With a house width of up to 12 meters, the trusses are still simple, and the cost of installing the roof is minimal.
For buildings more than 12 meters wide, the system becomes more complex - there are more rafter legs. In addition, manufacturing beams longer than 6 meters is expensive. If an increase is required only by the width of the roof overhangs, the beams are extended along the edges with fillets. These are pieces of beams of the same cross-section, connected to the beam and secured on the sides with two wooden plates at least 60 cm long, fastened with bolts or nails, allowing the use of mounting plates.
If total length The beams are more than 8 meters long; they are usually spliced. The joints are further reinforced by nailing boards or mounting plates.
Options for attaching the rafters to the mauerlat: sliding at the top and rigid at the top on the right. Below on the right is a version of a tie-in without overhangs (very rarely used)
There may also be questions about how to attach the rafters of pitched roofs to the Mauerlat. There are no fundamental differences. Everything is also in rafter leg They make a cutout with which the beam rests on the mauerlat. In order not to suffer with each rafter leg, leveling its fit, having cut out the first one, a template is made from a piece of board, thick plywood or timber that exactly repeats the resulting “cut”. All subsequent rafters are sawn before installation. To them in in the right place a template is applied, a recess of the required shape and size is outlined and cut out.
This was about rigidly attaching the rafter legs to the mauerlat. It is used on all buildings that exhibit low shrinkage. This method of fastening cannot be used on wooden houses - the house always settles or rises slightly, which can cause misalignment. If the roof is fixed tightly, it may tear. Therefore, when installing a pitched or any other roof on wooden houses, a sliding connection of rafters and mauerlat is used. For this there are so-called “slippers”. These are plates, consisting of corners that are attached to the mauerlat and metal strips movably connected to them, which are attached to the rafter leg. Two such slips are placed on each rafter.
The roof slope angle is determined by a combination of indicators - wind and snow load and type of roofing material. First, they are determined with an angle along climatic conditions(depending on the amount of precipitation and wind loads). Then they look at the minimum recommended slope for the selected type of roofing material (in the table below).
If the desired angle is greater, everything is fine; if it is less (which happens very rarely), increase it to the recommended one. Make a roof with an angle less than minimum angle, recommended by the manufacturer roofing covering, it’s not unequivocal - it will leak at the joints. To make it easier to navigate, let’s say that for central Russia the recommended slope of a pitched roof is 20°. But it is advisable to calculate the figure for each region, and even for different locations of buildings on the site.
By the way, keep in mind that different manufacturers of the same type of roofing material may require different minimum slope. For example, one brand can be produced on roofs with a minimum slope of 14°, another - 16°. And this despite the fact that GOST defines a minimum slope of 6°.
It is also worth remembering that with a slope of up to 12°, in order to ensure the tightness of any roofing material, it is necessary to coat all joints of the material with a liquid waterproofing compound (usually bitumen mastic, less often - roofing sealant).
To ensure the found slope angle of the pitched roof, it is necessary to raise one of the walls higher. How much higher we will find out by remembering the formulas for calculating a right triangle. Using them we also find the length of the rafter legs.
When calculating, do not forget that the length is obtained without taking into account overhangs, and they are needed to protect the walls of the house from precipitation. The minimum overhang is 20 cm. But with such a small protrusion beyond the building, the pitched roof looks short. Therefore, overhangs of at least 60 cm are usually made on one-story buildings. On two-story ones they can be up to 120 cm. in this case The width of the overhang is determined based on aesthetic considerations - the roof should look harmonious.
The easiest way to determine how much the roof needs to be extended is in design programs that allow you to draw the building to scale and “play around” with the overhangs. Everything should be displayed in 3 dimensions (the most popular program is ScratchUp). Twist through different sizes of overhangs, decide which one looks better (if there is no project), and then order/make rafters.
A house was built in St. Petersburg. There was no project, there was general idea which is shown in the photo. House made of aerated concrete, finishing- plaster, seam roof chosen on the basis of low cost, reliability, and ease of installation.
After the walls were removed, an armored belt was poured into them, into which studs (Ø 10 mm) were installed every meter. When the concrete in the reinforced belt has reached the required deterioration, bitumen mastic laid a layer of waterproofing (“Gidroizol”, cut lengthwise into strips of the required width). A mauerlat - 150-150 mm timber - is laid on top of the waterproofing. All lumber used for roofing is dry and treated with protective impregnations and fire retardants.
Beginning of installation of a pitched roof - laying the Mauerlat
First, they put it in place (lying on the pins, held by assistants), and walk along it, hitting with a hammer on the places where the pins are. The places where the pins stick out are imprinted in the timber. Now they drill holes and simply push it onto the studs.
Since the span turns out to be large, supports made of timber (150-150 mm) were placed on which the purlin was laid, which will support the rafter legs.
The width of the roof is 12 meters. This is taking into account the offset of 1.2 meters from front side. Therefore, the Mauerlat bars and the purlin “stick out” beyond the walls exactly at this distance.
At first there were doubts about such a large offset - the rightmost beam hangs 2.2 meters. If this offset is reduced, it will be bad for the walls, and the appearance will deteriorate. Therefore, it was decided to leave everything as is.
Laying rafters
Rafters are laid from two spliced boards 200*50 mm, with a pitch of 580 mm. The boards are nailed down in a checkerboard pattern (top-bottom), with a pitch of 200-250 mm. Nail heads are sometimes on the right, sometimes on the left, in pairs: Two on top/bottom on the right, two on top/bottom on the left, etc.). We space the joints of the boards by less than 60 cm. The resulting beam is much more reliable than a similar solid beam.
Next, the pie of a pitched roof for this case is as follows (from the attic to the street): vapor barrier, stone wool 200 mm, ventilation gap (sheathing, counter-sheathing), moisture insulation, roofing material. In this case it is dark gray pural.
We will carry out insulation from the inside later, but for now we are laying a Tyvek Solid hydro-windproof membrane (vapor-permeable) on top of the rafters.
The membrane is laid from bottom to top, secured with staples from a stapler. The fabric that is rolled out higher overlaps the one already laid by 15-20 cm. The joint is sealed with double-sided tape (bought together with the membrane). Then the planks are placed on top of the membrane, and on them is a sheathing for a standing seam roof.
First, the sheathing was made from 25*150 mm boards in increments of 150 mm. After installation, walking around the roof, it was decided to strengthen the sheathing. To do this, we fill 100 mm wide boards between the already laid boards. Now there is a gap of 25 mm between the boards.
Sheathing a pitched roof as a result
Next, hooks were placed on the lower gable. They are filled unevenly, since due to the large length of the pediment, it was decided to make two receiving funnels at a distance of 2.8 meters from the edge. To ensure drainage in two directions, such a relief was made.
Next, you need to bring in pieces of metal (pictures) 12 meters long. They are not heavy, but they cannot be bent, so the “sled” disappears. For lifting, a temporary “bridge” was built connecting the ground and the roof. The sheets were lifted along it.
Next come roofing, which differ depending on the type of roofing material. In this case, it was necessary to solve the problem of thermal expansion of the material - galvanized steel (pural) significantly changes its dimensions when heated/cooled. To ensure freedom of expansion, it was decided to fasten the material to the sheathing by the seam using movable clamps with a freedom of movement of 15-20 mm.
After laying the roofing material, what remains is the lining of the overhangs, and they are no different.
The roof needs to be brought to perfection - the overhangs need to be hemmed, but basically it is already ready
Well, the photo below shows what happened after finishing. Very modern, stylish and unusual.
House with a pitched roof - finishing is almost finished
As has already been said, it is difficult to find interesting designs of residential buildings with a pitched roof. So far, these buildings are unpopular with us. Perhaps just because of its originality. This section contains several projects or photos of already built houses. Maybe it will be useful to someone, at least as an idea.
Large windows are beautiful, but irrational in our climate
Multi-level house - an interesting completed project
This is a prototype of what is located above
Original house. Under one pitched roof there is a house and outbuildings, and part of it is a canopy over the yard between two buildings
Inspired by the landscapes of Finland and the buildings harmoniously integrated into its rocky landscape, we decided to create a project with a European vision.
Distinctive feature Our country house has a pitched roof. Now it’s difficult to say with complete certainty where it came from. constructive solution, but the simplicity and functionality of such a roof makes the buildings interesting both from an architectural and structural point of view.
These are probably not all the advantages of a pitched roof. I think each of you will note many more winning moments for yourself.
Now let's get back to our project. The house is designed to be small in size, it is perfect for a cottage or garden. Let's look at the layout.
Terrace - 16 square meters in area. If desired, it can be enlarged, made open and, for example, partially glazed. The entrance hall is 4 square meters, this area will allow you to optimally arrange this space.
From the hallway there are doors to three rooms. Bathroom, I won’t tire of repeating - a bathroom is necessary in a country house.
Kitchen living room to the left - 12 square meters. The optimal size for a room of this purpose. A large window will fill the room with light and visually add additional volume.
Bedroom in our country house also 12 meters in area. Standard size bedroom that can accommodate a large bed wardrobe and chest of drawers. In our opinion, the bedroom should not have any unnecessary cluttering furniture. Under ideal conditions, you can discard the closet by placing items from it in a closet or another room.
Implication of premises:
A short summary: the project of a Finnish house with a pitched roof is perfect for a garden and cottage, both seasonal and permanent residence for 2-3 people. Also, during construction, you can experiment a little with the layout, enlarge or reduce the kitchen, in favor of other rooms.
The prices above are indicated for houses built using frame-panel technology or from profiled timber and operated in dacha mode - timber thickness 90x140 mm or slab insulation 100 mm.
The timber is used only for chamber drying (not natural humidity). For main walls this is critical. Drying of timber is carried out in compliance with all technologies - 14 days of drying at 30-40 degrees in soft mode. The soft drying mode expels moisture from the center to the edges, preserving the texture of the material and preventing the occurrence of cracks.
The project can be supplemented or simplified to suit climatic, aesthetic or financial needs. Below are the prices for of this project in various configurations.

Houses with a pitched roof are simple in design and unusual design. They are convenient, practical and often cheaper. But they are rarely built in Russia. Usually they prefer standard designs with gable roofs.
Peculiarity lean-to houses in low ceiling heights. Therefore, it is not always possible to make an attic or attic. But we have collected all the tips that will help you get another room under an unusual roof.

We tell you everything you need to know and show interesting architectural solutions.
Key Features pitched roof
First, briefly about the pros and cons of a pitched roof. The most basic information, nothing superfluous.
Pros of a pitched roof
. Compared to gable roofs. A single-pitch design weighs less. But as the width of the house increases, this advantage disappears. All due to the complication of the support system and redistribution of loads.Disadvantages of a pitched roof
What kind of pitched roofs are there in house designs?
Simple pitched roof. Option #1 in standard projects one-story houses. A roof that rests on a low wall on one side and a high one on the other. Everything is simple, nothing superfluous. Suitable for lovers of minimalism.
Shed roof in two directions. An option for high-tech lovers. In one half of the house the roof slopes to the right, in the other - to the left. If you look at such a cottage from the outside entrance group, you will see a cross made of roofs. It looks unusual.
The design can be complicated and made at different levels. Attach a roof slightly lower to the high gable. Someone's window will look out onto the roof. Original solution.
Shed roof with decorations. Different slopes in different areas, protruding dormer windows, viewing balconies. You can combine anything. But the more complex the design of a house with a pitched roof, the more expensive the calculations, materials and construction are.
Technical features pitched roof - what you need to know before construction starts
In Russia, shed roofs are usually used for non-residential, seasonal or temporary buildings. Cottages, cabins, garages. Usually done above cottages gable roof. Because she is more familiar.
Single-pitch options are suitable for amateurs modern designs. Visually light, with good lighting and strict forms. An interesting version of the attic is made with them - full-wall windows are placed on the protruding pediment. Get a beautiful panoramic view from the rooms.
In many ways, the internal structure of a pitched roof is similar to a gable roof. But there are nuances that we will discuss further. To compare everything yourself, read the article about the rafter system of a gable roof.
When placing a project for a house with a pitched roof, you need to take into account the wind rose
One of the most important points. An architect, when trying out a project for a house with a pitched roof on the ground, needs take into account the compass rose.
He will look from where the wind is blowing and with what force in order to place the roof of the house in that direction. Then air flows will flow around the building. This will reduce the load on the structure as a whole.
Consider the wind rose if you do everything yourself. Incorrect placement of the cottage increases the load on the wall and roof. A pitched roof is a sail. On the one hand, it completely absorbs the wind. There will be a strong squall and the roof could be torn off. You definitely don't need this.
Advice. In addition to the wind rose, take into account snowfall in winter. The larger it is, the higher the angle of inclination must be for the natural descent of precipitation. But you cannot make the roof higher than 45 degrees - this will also give too high a load.
If the roof slope is low, make a convenient exit to the top. You will have to use it often to remove accumulated ice or knock off ice that blocks precipitation.
Internal organization pitched roof
How to make rafters
There are several options for rafter systems: layered, hanging and sliding. They are selected based on the characteristics of the roof.
We tell you which system is best to use where.
Layered rafters
Reliable, but you will have to sacrifice some space in the attic.
The rafters rest on external walls and the racks between them. How longer distance, the larger and more complex the supports need to be made.
The advantage of layered rafters is reliability and low cost. But the wider the house and the more complex the lintels, the higher the cost. So you need to strike a balance.
Keep in mind that with this design there will be less space in the attic. It will be eaten by additional supports. You will have to sacrifice part of the room or decorate the beams with partitions.
The larger the width of the house - the more complex the design of the rafter system
The greater the width of the house, the more complex the design of the truss system of a pitched roof. This is due to a different load distribution.
Up to 4.5 meters. They make the simplest design. There are walls on both sides, on which lie rafters and everything. You can continue making the roof.
From 4.5 to 6 meters. Reinforcements are already needed for the stability of the structure. They install a rafter leg, which removes the load from the roof and transfers it to the floor. The bench rests against the wall.
From 6 to 9 meters. A purlin is installed in the center on the rafters and a shelf is placed on the floor. A stand is made between them. A rafter leg is supported on the bench on each side.
From 9 to 12 meters. They make the system as in the previous case - two struts, a run on the rafters, a lie on the floor, a stand. Additionally, a strut and a bench are made near the high wall.
More than 12 meters. The most complex design. In the center they make a system of two purlins with racks and beds. They are connected by a contraction, which prevents the structure from moving apart. The struts rest on the beds.
The wider the house, the more complex and expensive the rafter system.
Hanging rafters
The best option for creating a residential attic. Because they don't need side racks.
Hanging rafters are made from ready-made trusses. They are produced to specific sizes at the factory. So a structure with ideal parameters arrives at your site. Influence human factor minimized.
Trusses are made from metal and wood. Both options are good, but wood is preferable in most cases. It behaves better in residential areas and does not create additional cold bridges.
To install the trusses you will have to hire construction equipment. They are gradually delivered to construction site, assembled on the ground and installed on the roof.
Sliding rafter systems
This is a separate view only within the framework of the article. In fact, sliding systems are a method of attaching rafters for shrinkage houses. If you are building from raw wood or profiled timber, then be sure to use such a fastening.
During shrinkage, the geometry of the house changes. If you fix the rafters tightly, the resulting tension will damage them. As a result, the entire roof will be broken. Will no longer protect against precipitation and low temperatures.
Exit - sliding fastenings. They do not have a rigid fixation. The walls take on water and become larger - the rafters rise up. The tree dried up and shrank - the rafters returned back. Everything works on its own.
How to use the space under a pitched roof to create comfortable attic
A pitched roof is beautiful and unusual, but it is more difficult to create a comfortable interior in it. All due to the slope of the roof. It gradually eats up the height of the room.
Interior design depends on the height of the walls. The higher they are, the more functional space there is.
The nuance is that too high walls increase the cost of building a house. Most often this is due to installation high windows or the creation of a second light. You can get by with ordinary windows, but then the attic will look less beautiful.
A wall that is too low on one side can severely limit the available space. Sometimes it is not possible to place even a small bedside table under the slope. In this case, you have to fence off part of the room with plasterboard and create a new wall.
You can put anything you want under the ramp Will you use it sitting or lying down?: beds, desks, chairs, ottomans, low cabinets and so on.
Together with the designer, make an interior design. It will show the location of the furniture, the proximity of the ceiling and a comparison of all this with the average height of a person. You can evaluate how convenient it will be for everyone to use.
Make the most of the space along a high wall. Everything that is there you can use to its fullest extent. Therefore, first of all, try to put everything that will not fit on a low wall against a high wall. Wardrobes, children's sports complexes, bunk beds and work tables with add-ons.
If you are not saving space, then a high wall is perfect for a bed. You can put a huge double model, next to it there are bedside tables and a chest of drawers at the feet. A classic approach to design, as in the rooms on other floors.
Choose house designs with pitched roofs, where they use second light and install many windows. Daylight- this is a huge plus of such cottages. The house will be light with the first rays of the sun, just like in the Alpine style.
Examples of non-standard pitched roofs
Shed roofs can be more complex than you are used to seeing in typical designs.
We have collected several interesting options that we have actively used before or have just begun to use in construction. Yes, they are more difficult to make, but they look unusual and sometimes provide additional functionality.
Saw roof - one slope and many windows
The saw-roof was created for the sake of functionality. But the unusual design made her interesting choice for modern homes.
The shape, which looks like saw teeth, comes from old factories. Previously, this was how workers and equipment were protected from direct sunlight. But diffused light was released through the side windows, which covered a large area. Received comfortable conditions for work.
Now the functions of such a roof remain the same. With its help, you can make a very bright house, without significantly increasing the heating of the air and objects.
The main disadvantage is the cost. Very complex architecture. Therefore, design and construction are expensive. This is one of the reasons why you don't see such roofs in typical projects.
Rounded roof for high-tech
Rounded roofs are not much different in functionality from ordinary pitched roofs. But you win in design if you build something modern. Rounded roofs give the house an unusual look.
This roof can be combined with other options. Cover a separate section with it - a garage or a guest extension to the house. It all depends on the idea.
The rounded roof can be adapted to regions with any weather. Just play with the tilt. Create a sharp, low fillet in windy regions. Or increase it in snowy conditions to remove precipitation faster.
The design is even more complex than the previous type. So it will also be expensive.
Projects of houses with a pitched roof
We have collected projects of houses with a pitched roof and an attic to make it easier for you to find inspiration.
The selection was varied. Different styles- European and American classics, modern minimalism, Just non-standard combination materials. Different shapes and combinations of roofs. Different sizes. There is plenty to choose from.
Remember, any project can be improved. All you have to do is talk to the architect and tell him what you want to see. He will help you remodel the house to suit your wishes.
Project of a bright house with a pitched roof and an attic
Project of a light and spacious house with a pitched roof. The architect used the option when the slopes at different levels are directed towards different sides. It looks unusual and simplifies the removal of sediment.
Lovers good views will appreciate the second light that is made in the living room.
What's on the first floor
A small living room can be turned into a complete entertainment area. The kitchen is spacious enough to accommodate a dining table for the whole family.
The first floor bedroom windows overlook the courtyard. A good solution to see flower beds and a well-kept garden in the morning.
What's in the attic
The large room is suitable as a master bedroom. It has higher functionality - access to the balcony, additional square meters, a high window.
Another room can be used as a nursery. In size and layout it is closer to the bedroom, which is located on the first floor.
Project of a brick house with a pitched roof in a minimalist style
Simple geometric shapes. Large window by the balcony in the attic. Several small viewing windows. All this creates an unusual image in the spirit of minimalism. So this house project with an attic and a pitched roof will appeal to lovers of simplicity.
What's in the plinth
The basement is completely dedicated to a recreation area. There is a spacious steam room, shower room, and a place to relax. An interesting feature for those who don’t want to build separate bathhouse Location on.
Plus there's room for washing machine and a dryer. Free up some space on the first floor.
What's on the first floor
Spacious rooms for a large family. The large living room provides plenty of space for gatherings and creating an entertainment area. In the kitchen, besides dining table, made a place for a bar counter to quickly drink coffee.
Lunch lovers fresh air A spacious terrace awaits, accessible from the kitchen. There is already a designated place in the corner for cooking kebabs.
What's on the 2nd floor
The bedrooms are made as functional as possible. Each has additional rooms so that the owner has a place to relax and do his own business.
The private bathroom in the master bedroom is convenient for parents to shower without queues before bed and in the morning.
What's in the attic
The total area is 34.1 m2.
The attic in this house project with a pitched roof is completely dedicated to the entertainment area. In the photo you can see one of the ideas for separating functionality. Build an entertainment area on one side, and use the other for a sports complex.
Project of a spacious frame house with a pitched roof
Spacious house with simple design and thoughtful layout. There is everything for comfortable life- large living room and kitchen, several bedrooms, separate utility rooms and a garage-shed.
I'll like the project big family with different hobbies.
What's on the first floor
A clear division of rooms according to purpose is the strong point of the project. Separate spaces are allocated for boiler installation and storage gardening tools and household items. Convenient for relieving the house of unnecessary cabinets.
Nadezhda is a wonderful female name and we decided to give it to this particular house, a very modest size of 8x4 meters. The idea of this little Finnish home has been ripening with us for a long time. We created it for loving couples, young families, single people who are just about to start a family.
Even though it is small and because inexpensive house- embodied in it essential principles Finnish architecture: environmental friendliness, simplicity, style, quality, reliability.
For creating beautiful home need inspiration. Or luck. In this case it was the second - we saw a beautiful project country house from laminated veneer lumber on one of the professional design sites.
We really liked the veranda and the style of the house, and we transferred the idea to frame technology. Due to this, the house became twice as warm and more suitable for permanent residence in the conditions of the Middle Urals. However, thanks to its well-thought-out design, Nadezhda is suitable for any other regions of Russia - except for the Arctic regions. The proven "Rowan" is more suitable there.
The first point that distinguishes Nadezhda from most of our projects is the pitched roof.
The advantages of a pitched roof are simplicity of design, low cost, and stylistic brevity. It is not without reason that among the Scandinavian peoples, houses with pitched roofs are quite common.
The second idea of the house is a spacious veranda, which significantly increases usable area at home during the warm season.
The third idea is versatility: a country house project easily becomes a house project for permanent residence. Let's look at the layout.
Veranda - 16 square meters in area. If desired, it can be enlarged, made open and, for example, partially glazed.
The hallway is 4 square meters, this area will allow you to optimally arrange this space.
From the hallway there are doors to three rooms. Bathroom, I won’t tire of repeating – a bathroom is necessary in a country house.
Kitchen living room to the left - 11 square meters. The optimal size for a room of this purpose. A large window will fill the room with light and visually add additional volume.
The bedroom in our country house is also 11 meters in area. The standard size of a bedroom, which can accommodate a large bed, a wardrobe and a chest of drawers. In our opinion, there should be no unnecessary cluttering furniture in the bedroom. Under ideal conditions, you can discard the closet by placing items from it in a closet or another room.
