Beautiful designs of baths are unusual and new solutions. Bath projects. Original baths with barbecue
In terms of quality, practicality, as well as aesthetic characteristics, a bathhouse made of wood beams practically does not differ in any way from a building made of rounded logs, but at the same time, the construction process is much simpler and does not require special skill.
A wooden bath is considered truly Russian, since once in Rus' every building was erected without the use of nails, but as soundly as possible.
So, let's talk about the construction of a bath from a natural bar.
What are the criteria for choosing a beam for a steam room?
One of the significant stages in the construction of a bath is, of course, the choice of an array. After all, the characteristics of the bath directly depend on this.
First of all, pay special attention to the absence of any cracks in the logs, which, having expanded in the future, will cause defects and decay of the array during shrinkage.
In addition, there should be no blue highlights on the wood, indicating internal decay, which is associated with the presence of fungi.
It is not recommended to build a building from such material. In addition, the beam is defective if there is a wormhole on it.
At the same time, a good beam is absolutely smooth. If there are defects, as well as various distortions, then this is not in the best way will affect the arrangement of crowns, respectively, the construction of a steam room can stretch for a long period of time.
There are several varieties of timber: solid, as well as profiled. The second option is equipped with spikes, grooves that are subject to grinding. Similar parts are easier to connect to each other.
The most important plus is the non-susceptibility of such walls to the adverse effects of moisture. As for the minuses, the material has a low degree of refractoriness, which means that it must be subjected to additional processing with propylene.
Solid timber is also used in construction. However, outwardly, it does not look attractive, so it is covered with siding.
Types of modern baths
Today there is a variety of types of modern baths, namely:
with attic
This is one of the most common options for a steam room with a mansard roof, as well as a veranda. In the upper part of the building there is a bedroom where you can comfortably relax after taking a bath.
And the veranda is a great place where you can drink a cup of fragrant tea.
with terrace
Are you going to build a barbecue in the country? Then build a steam room with a terrace where you can equip the stove directly. After the expiration of time, you can create a pond in front of the steam room.
with veranda
A bath with a spacious veranda is considered one of the simplest structures.
At the same time, it is preferable to glaze the veranda and use it as a summer recreation area, a kitchen space.
with a porch
Are you a true Russian banya fan? Then build it with a spacious porch, which is not only beautiful, but also as practical as possible.
A small table, a traditional samovar and the splendor of the surrounding nature.
With a veranda, as well as a spacious roof
Such a steam room is distinguished by great dignity - a covered veranda, as well as a wide attic area. In this option, you get a small foundation.
Foundation
A durable bath created from a bar can be erected on a strip or column foundation.
For the arrangement of the foundation of the tape type, a formwork is built, poured with a concrete mixture. Inside the foundation there will be a strip of sand or gravel.
A couple of weeks after the concrete has completely hardened, you can start laying the log house.
To create a columnar foundation, it is necessary to set up brick pillars, under each of which a concrete pillow is arranged to prevent subsidence.
However, no matter what type of foundation you prefer, it is important to strengthen it with reinforcement for durability.
Also, you can not do without a practical waterproofing created between the original crown and the base. For these purposes, molten bitumen is applied to the foundation surface, which is covered with an even roofing material layer. As soon as it hardens, the procedure must be repeated.
If you have decided to build a reliable and beautiful bath, then by all means get a project and, focusing on our recommendations, make your dreams come true.

Russian bathhouse - in our modern time, it is not only a traditional washing room, a steam room and a terribly cramped dressing room.
Increasingly, the eyes of homeowners are riveted by projects of unusual baths: with a veranda, a fireplace, a swimming pool, a barbecue oven, lounges, a vast terrace ... and this is not the limit of the architects' imagination!
Original baths or triple pleasure
In this article, we invite you to get acquainted with non-standard baths that go beyond the boring framework of everyday life, in which relaxation is not only pleasant and interesting, but unforgettable! After all, here you have a unique opportunity to get three types of pleasure at once: physical, mental and aesthetic.
So, let's see what solutions have recently become popular among our compatriots when building baths:
- Bath complex with a swimming pool. Immediately we want to dispel the myth that the implementation of such a project is mega expensive - professional builders and home craftsmen have long confirmed the opposite. The price of construction is available to almost everyone, especially if the artificial reservoir is not heated and not covered. But already the projects of two-story structures with an indoor pool are more expensive. Yes, and turn around in architectural terms, there is where.
- Billiards and a sauna is another excellent combination that will surely interest many representatives of the stronger sex! By and large, such projects provide for the presence of at least one rest room - billiard equipment is placed in it. The area of this room can vary from a minimum of 20 m² to 40 m² or more.
Quite often, a billiard room is made on the second, that is, attic floor. In this case, the free space is organized in the most ergonomic way: on the first floor there is a washing room, a steam room and a relaxation room, on the second floor there is a billiard room.
- Buildings with an attic. Of course, this is far from being an innovation, but every year enterprising architects come up with more and more interesting projects for baths with an additional attic floor. In addition, this is a unique opportunity to get never extra square meters without expanding the total area of the building. What can be done from the second floor? Equip with your own hands the same billiard room, relaxation room, gym or even an office!
- Unusual bath with a veranda or terrace. Agree, because it is the absence or presence of open / closed extensions that forms the general aesthetic perception of the building, its colorful, unique appearance.
For example, either along the entire facade or even a bay window - these are not just additional useful squares, but also a decoration of the bathhouse, its distinguishing feature, business card!
Advice!
Even if for some reason you prefer a typical bath project to an individual one, then it can be made original by choosing the right location, shape and type of extension.
Try to equip a traditional corner log house with a veranda, and you will be surprised how unusual your bathhouse will become.
- Barrel bath. According to an ancient legend, a wise man named Diogenes lived in a barrel. Since that time, a lot of water has flowed under the bridge, but this legend is still alive to this day, only in an embodied form. Unfortunately, it is not known from history who first "gave birth" to the idea that in oak barrel you can take a great steam bath ... but a step or two and today we can admire the most interesting baths barrels!
Baths of this type appeared in the middle of the 20th century in snowy Finland and instantly won the hearts of the European people. It is not surprising, because in addition to the colorful appearance, the barrel bath, compared to a typical square building, quickly warms up and retains heat longer.
By the way!
Today, there are also such models of bath-barrels, which are placed on a mobile chassis in the form of a trailer.
This solution allows you to take it with you if, for example, you want to get out into nature and take a steam bath there.
Top 5 most extraordinary baths in the world
What wonders you will not meet on the globe!
Now, having looked at the most unusual projects of baths, avid bathers will burn with a desire to try on their own body the result of procedures in such steam rooms:
- "Saunaforall" or simply "Sauna for everyone"! This phenomenon is located in the Czech town of Liberec. Those who built it did not have to build a solid foundation, as they came up with a more original solution. The sauna for everyone stands right in the middle of the river, on stilts, not far from the city beach.
Those wishing to visit this bathhouse do not need to pay money, since it is completely free. Instructions for use: just place an order with the architectural studio MjolkArchitects, who built it from wooden frames, plywood, spruce planks and aluminum.
- And in Milan there is a curious bathhouse in a tram car. It can easily accommodate a company of 10 people. Plasma is also installed here, on the screen of which they show the amusing history of Milanese trams.
- Turku Archipelago, Lake Larsmo – fabulous steam bath. In this stunning place, you can not only take a steam bath at any time of the year, but also admire the beauties of the picturesque natural region from the sauna floating on the lake.
By the way!
As an additional bonus, so to speak, you will certainly be offered to cool off in the purest snow on top of the mountain.
- Well, who would have imagined that a real bathhouse could be located on the territory of the ice arena?! The dream of almost every man is to relax in the steam room and enjoy the game of his favorite hockey team!
Conclusion
The Russian banya is a delight in itself, primarily for the body. Well, when she is also beautiful, colorful, not like everyone else, then boundless spiritual pleasure is added to the physical! So don't be afraid to experiment. And for a "snack", especially for lovers of bathing art - an interesting thematic video in this article.
Russian people know a lot about the bath. Often she stands on the site, when the place for a residential building is still only marked with pegs. The architects of our company develop interesting projects for baths of various types - it can be an independent building, an extension to the summer kitchen or a special room in the basement.
Projects of modern Russian baths
The basic principles of building a bath have been preserved since time immemorial. Especially when wood is used for construction. New technologies appear, and in the catalog you can find stylish designs of baths made of concrete, brick, as well as combined ones.
Our offers can be divided into three groups:
- Traditional log or cobbled building. The most common and favorite "toy" for adults. As a rule, a log house is assembled elsewhere, brought unassembled, and installed already on the site. It is customary to design such a bathhouse as a “teremok” (No. 10-60).
- Comfortable sauna with toilet and stone shower. Suitable when it is planned to combine with a guest house, or the owners want to preserve the stylistic unity of architecture on the estate. An example of a project is a 2-storey bathhouse with a relaxation room and a billiard room (No. 90-59L).
- Frame-type baths are an economical option. The building is erected in a matter of days. The installation of a capital foundation is not required due to the low weight of the structure. The project of a bath from a frame provides for a separate steam room and a terrace.
The design design is determined both by the wishes of the future owner and the chosen building material. For the construction of a bath, a classic, European, Scandinavian style, and even high-tech is offered.
Ready-made bath projects with drawings, dimensions and calculations
I want the bath to be beautiful, but even more important is how long it will last. Our projects are developed taking into account technological requirements. This means that they comply with fire safety measures, and the building will be reliably protected from the influence of external factors.
Bath on suburban area must be mandatory. "The bath is the second mother: it will steam the bones, it will fix the whole thing." Or "You can not finish building the house, but you need to build a bathhouse." Traditions to bathe in the bath for hundreds, and maybe thousands of years. It was not for nothing that Nestor mentioned in The Tale of Bygone Years the stunning impression that the bath made on St. Apostle Andrew the First-Called. Yes, in Russian folk tales the bath is not deprived of attention, to recall at least the famous dialogues of Ivan (the prince, the fool, just Ivanushka) with Baba Yaga, that you first need to heat the bath, and only then discuss things.
But in order to heat, the bath must first be built. And any construction begins with a project. Regulations define the bath as an auxiliary outbuilding, the construction of which does not require a permit. Accordingly, it is not required to develop a project that must be coordinated and approved.
However, it is not worth starting the construction of a bath without a project, this can lead to very unpleasant consequences. The project will also help determine the amount of materials needed for construction and draw up an estimate that will make it possible to estimate the planned costs.
You can order a bath project from specialists, prepare it yourself using special programs (as a very simple option - draw by hand) or find a suitable finished project in the Internet. Let's talk about preparing a bath project with your own hands, without the help of specialists.
We design a bath
Based on the available options for installing a bath on the site, you should start developing a project by drawing up terms of reference, which determines the desired area of \u200b\u200ball the premises of the bath (floor plan or floor plan).
dressing room
The room where the owner of the bath gets in the first place. In small baths, the dressing room performs several different functions, and this should be taken into account in the project: vestibule ( transition zone) between the street and the premises of the bath with a change in temperature from outside to the temperature in the bath, a place for changing and storing clothes and shoes, a rest room. The dressing room can be used to store a supply of firewood for the stove.
In the dressing room, you can plan the installation of benches for changing and relaxing, or limit yourself to seating only if there are space restrictions. For the same reason, it is possible to combine a dressing room with a rest room. For a comfortable stay in the bath and its frequent use, the area of the dressing room should be twice more area steam room. The location of the window / windows in the dressing room is provided at a height of 1000 mm from the floor level. The windows are double glazed. For the dressing room, a standard door 1800x800 mm with outward opening is usually chosen.
Important ! If the entrance to the bath from the street is carried out directly into the dressing room, then for comfortable use of the bath in the autumn-winter time, the door must be insulated from the outside. If it is possible to place the entrance to the bath from the south side, the snowdrifts will be smaller in winter, and they will melt faster in spring.
steam room
The minimum area per person in a steam room cannot be less than 1 m². In addition to this parameter, it is necessary to take into account the size of the furnace in the steam room. The largest in size are brick wood-burning stoves, but with such stoves it is not necessary to insulate the walls and people steaming in the steam room.
A metal stove should be installed at a distance of at least 1 meter from the wall, and protected from people by a thin brick partition to prevent burns. A good option is to place the stove in the break room so that the stove heats both the steam room and the break room. At the same time, the firebox is located in the rest room, and the heater is in the steam room. Possible dimensions of the shelf in the steam room are shown in the figure. Choose an option using a picture of how you and your guests will bathe: sitting or lying down.
For a small bathhouse, in which a maximum of 3 people will be steaming while sitting, an area of 1300x1800 m is sufficient, but to this area it is necessary to add the area occupied by the stove, as well as passages to the shelves. Important! Windows in the steam room do not need to be provided if a ventilation duct is planned. Otherwise, for mandatory ventilation of the steam room (and the entire bath), a small double-glazed window must be provided. The window is designed on the wall opposite the stove with dimensions from 300x300 mm. It is better if the window in the steam room faces west - this way you will get more natural light. The door to the steam room is designed low, with a high threshold to prevent loss of hot air. The size of the door is usually chosen 1500x800 mm with the door opening outwards. Warning. Combining a steam room with a washing department (shower) is not desirable - the temperature in the steam room will be lower and the steam will be humid. For lovers of steam, this option is not suitable.
Shower room (washing department)
It all depends on your capabilities: water containers, shower room, font, pool. Keep in mind the existence minimum size washing room. Washroom for 3 persons without pool and shower (hot and cold water) cannot be less than 1800x1800 mm. The window in the washing room is designed at a height of 1500 mm from the floor level, so as not to create drafts. The size of the window is small, but larger than in the steam room. Double glazing. The usual door size is 1800x800 mm, a door with a high threshold. If it is planned to arrange showers in the washing room, then a minimum area of \u200b\u200b900x900 mm should be allocated for each shower. Accordingly, the placement of a font or a pool in a washing room increases its area. If there are restrictions on the area, the pool or font can be located outside. If there is a natural reservoir nearby, the bath should be located at least 15 meters from it.
bathroom
The minimum dimensions of a bathroom when installing one toilet bowl are 1200 (depth) x 800 (width) mm.
Lounge and other premises (kitchen, billiard room, etc.). It is designed based on the available capabilities and existing space restrictions.
The composition of the premises is determined solely by the available opportunities and wishes of the owner of the bath.
Important ! The bath should be located from the house and other buildings on the site at a distance of at least 10 meters. In addition to fire safety, the smoke from the bath pipe will not be blown into the house. In addition, the bath should be located at a distance of 3 meters from the fence to provide access to the structure around the entire perimeter in case of fire.
We design the foundation
We select the type of foundation for the bath based on the material that will be used in construction and the selected number of storeys of the bath. When designing the foundation, we take into account the possible maximum load on it and the characteristics of local soils. Usually, during the construction of a bath, the following are chosen depending on the soil on the site and the number of storeys of the structure:
screw foundation
It is a universal type of foundation for all soils. No need to carry out on site excavation. screw foundation can be installed at any time of the year. Installation will take one day, immediately after completion, you can start building the structure.
Strip foundation
This type of foundation is quite labor-intensive and it is advisable to use it for difficult soils and the construction of a 2-story bath.
It is the most economical and simplest type of foundation. The columns can be made from asbestos-cement pipes, which are then reinforced and poured with concrete. Such a foundation is best used when building a small bath.
Earthworks during the construction of a belt and columnar foundations it is necessary to produce, but the amount of these works will be different.
We will not consider a pile foundation made of reinforced concrete piles and a monolithic slab, they are not needed for the construction of a bath.
We design the foundation for a brick oven
If a brick oven is chosen for the bath, you must first decide at the project stage on the need to build a foundation for it. Calculations are made quite simply: we take the weight of one cubic meter of brickwork as 1350 kg and multiply this value by the volume of the furnace structure. The result of 750 kg means the obligatory need to build a foundation for the furnace. Lack of foundation or design errors will lead to catastrophic consequences.
Important ! The foundation for the stove cannot be less in depth than the foundation of the bath. The foundation for the stove bears the load only from it and does not need to be made part of the general foundation of the bath. It is desirable that there is a small distance between the common foundation and the foundation for the furnace. When the structure shrinks, both foundations will be able to move relative to each other.
It is customary to design a simple rubble concrete foundation for a brick oven. At the freezing depth in the region, a foundation pit is arranged with sides 150 mm larger than the side of the foundation. It is planned to backfill the bottom of the pit with a layer of crushed stone, followed by ramming. According to the size of the pit, a wooden formwork is installed. The formwork is pretreated with hot bitumen. Alternatively, you can use ruberoid. After the formwork is installed, the first layer of large stones is poured, the cavities between which are filled with fine gravel. The layer is poured with a cement-sand mortar prepared in a ratio of 1:3. Each subsequent layer of stones is poured with a break of a day, and so on until reaching the desired mark. When using a prefabricated solution and with a shallow foundation depth, it is allowed to perform all the work at a time.
Important ! The difference between the level of the finished floor and the foundation should be about 70 mm. The surface of the foundation is carefully leveled and covered with plastic wrap. The laying of the furnace can be started no earlier than after 7 days.
In the old days, the issue of bath ventilation was solved simply and rationally. In the log cabins of the baths, the lower crowns were attached freely, and air could pass through the cracks.
Today, when preparing a bath project, it is necessary to provide for the installation of a channel for the inflow of fresh air and for the exhaust of exhaust air. The dimensions of these ventilation ducts depend on the volume of rooms in the bath. The exhaust duct must not be smaller than the supply duct.
Choosing a bath project
First, we determine what material will be used to build the bath. It is customary to build baths from ordinary or rounded logs, glued beams, bricks, blocks, frame baths are popular.
Log bath projects
Log baths are a traditional version of a real Russian bath. The tree enhances the therapeutic and prophylactic effect of the bath on the human body, which has been confirmed by centuries of experience.
To build a bath, you can choose:
Projects of baths from glued beams
Baths made of glued beams are considered one of the most popular. This is due to the high manufacturability of the material while maintaining the properties of wood. A feature of the projects of baths made of glued laminated timber is the ability to create functional and interesting structural elements of the structure without additional serious costs. We are talking, first of all, about covered terraces and remote gables.
The use of glued beams in construction makes it possible to diversify the architectural forms of the structure and move away from standard solutions.
Brick bath projects
The use of brick as a building material makes it possible to build a structure of almost any shape. Brick is an environmentally friendly material and is excellent for building baths. The advantages of bricks include a very long service life, attractive appearance(a building made of facing bricks does not need external finishing), thermal insulation properties.
However, when designing a brick bath, it is imperative to provide for good ventilation and vapor barrier, otherwise the structure will become damp. It should also be taken into account that the cost of building a brick bath will be higher than a wooden bath. Below we offer you to see photos of brick bath projects.
Projects of baths from gas silicate blocks
A feature of the bath project from gas silicate blocks is a light weight material, thereby reducing the load on the foundation and the possibility of building even on problematic soils. The blocks themselves are easily processed, they can be sawn, pricked and their fragments can be used as decorative elements.
Projects of baths with an attic
When designing a bath with an attic, it is necessary to take into account the additional load on the foundation. It is also required to calculate the number of supporting structures and determine their location.
The angle of inclination of the roof specified in the project will determine the usable area of the attic. The angle of inclination is usually 30-60°.
When drawing up a floor plan, one should try to minimize the area that the stairs will occupy. But climbing it should remain comfortable.
A mandatory requirement is the inclusion in the project of vapor and thermal insulation of the ceiling between the first floor and the attic. This is necessary to prevent the appearance of fungus in the bath on the ceiling.
The advantage of such a project will be a significant increase in usable area, while the weight of the entire structure increases slightly.
A separate bathhouse is an indispensable element of a country estate within the boundaries of St. Petersburg, Moscow and other large cities. It guarantees a comfortable stay, a luxurious reception for dear guests and the health of the whole family, excluding problems with humidity and temperature, which occur when arranging such premises inside the house. This section of the Domamo company offers to buy standard bath projects - completely finished developments with the possibility of turnkey construction and architectural changes (plan, finish, etc.) at the request of customers. You will be able to choose a suitable sample for the cost, general photo and layout drawings.
Choice of bath projects
The bath projects in the catalog are buildings adapted to the weather conditions of Russia, made from the best materials in terms of thermal insulation:
- Tree (log),
- Specially processed timber - for areas with a problem of humidity and temperature changes,
- Foam concrete or brick, including refractory - for individual elements of the steam room,
- Energy efficient frame structures.
When choosing the basis for a bath project, you should immediately decide which result will best suit your needs. A traditional woody “spirit” will be felt in a log bath, brick or concrete will make the building especially reliable, and the frame and the timber option will open up wide possibilities for modern design.
Construction features
The bath project can have a different area, including not only a steam room and a shower room, but also additional rooms for functionality and comfort. This may include:
- Second floor (full or attic) with a loggia or balcony,
- Rest rooms used as bedrooms, gym or billiards,
- Swimming pool, terraces for summer tea parties and even a built-in garage.
In addition to the main entrance, the bathhouse may have access to a nearby pond. At the same time, the bathhouse itself can be built both as a standalone and as an extension to a residential building - in order to save on communications for the steam room and other premises.
