The project of a one-story house 6 by 8
The compact dimensions of the land plot do not allow designing and constructing an oversized residential building. However, a small area is quite enough for a married couple - for example, a house of 6 by 8 meters. Moreover, if an attic floor is provided in it, it will also be suitable for a family with children, allowing the use of the territory even more rationally at relatively low financial costs. The main principle that guides when constructing such a 1-storey house is to create maximum comfort for living in a limited space. That is an idea familiar to most residents of city apartments.
Advantages of a compact low-rise building
If the 6 x 8 house is the main residential building, it may have. As a material for it, you should choose glued laminated timber - this will increase the cost compared to ordinary wood, but it will increase strength and durability. Moreover, timber buildings can be erected almost at any time of the year, even in winter - their shrinkage percentage is lower than that of rounded logs.
Orientation of the house on the site
To reduce heating and air conditioning costs, as well as to improve lighting, all rooms should be correctly positioned:
- residential premises should face south, which will provide them with the maximum amount of heat and save on heating;
- when the building is located in a zone of strong winds, it is advisable to make a wind screen out of its two walls - reduce the number of windows or plant fairly dense green spaces on this side;
- the living room and the terrace, if it is provided in the building, are also located on the south side;
- kitchen and bathrooms should be placed on the north or east side of the building.
The layout of the bedrooms should take into account the needs of the residents. Therefore, despite the fact that the bedrooms are located from the south, it is advisable to place the windows in them to the west - in order to reduce the likelihood of an early rise due to the sun shining in the eyes. And most of the utility rooms, including the pantry and the hallway, can be located closer to the north. They do not have a heating system installed - the rooms themselves are a natural barrier against the cold.
Other design features
The correct arrangement of rooms allows you to get the maximum level of comfort in the building without increasing construction costs. If all the premises are located on the right side, you can not only save on heating power (by installing a lower power boiler), but also use fewer building materials to build a house - make walls 1.5–2 bricks thick instead of 2.5–3 or into one aerated concrete block with cladding instead of two. Or reduce the thickness of the glued laminated timber, if the building is made from it.
In this case, you can follow the following recommendations:
- kitchen and bathrooms can be completely deaf and surrounded by living rooms;
- the thickness of the bearing walls of the building is taken at the level of 200-300 mm - this is enough to withstand both the load from the roof and the effects of winds.
- the thickness of the plasterboard partitions between the rooms is chosen equal to 90-120 mm, while focusing on the width of the door block;
- the height of the house is small, up to 2.7–3 meters;
- there may be no vestibule in such a small house - instead, a small corridor 120–150 cm wide is made.
If the building 6 x 8 plays the role of an additional (guest) house, it is connected to the main one with the help of a terrace and a veranda. In this case, more bedrooms are made or their area is increased. And the kitchen and utility rooms are being cleaned, leaving only the bathrooms.
Layout of a one-story house 6 by 8
When creating a plan of the premises that will be located in a 6 x 8 house, you can include the following premises in it:
- small living room up to 10 sq. m, often combined with a kitchen - the area of \u200b\u200bthe common room can reach 20–25 sq. m for a building with one bedroom or 10-15 sq. m in the presence of only one bedroom;
- bathroom - most often combined to save space;
- bedroom - one large 10-15 sq. m or two small ones of 7-9 sq. m;
- boiler room (furnace) - usually located next to the kitchen or bathroom and has an area of 1.5-2 square meters. m;
- corridor, the length and width of which for a house of this size should be reduced.
Space in a small building can be increased. For this, external heat and waterproofing of the wall is selected. When constructing walls, they should be made as even as possible, avoiding leveling, which also reduces the usable area.
Another opportunity to increase the space gives the complete absence of a corridor. Instead, the main passage can go straight into the living room or into the kitchen. If the hallway is still being made, the doors should be correctly positioned in it - in such a short and narrow room they can touch each other when opened.
Results
Despite the small building for a private building 6 by 8, it may well become comfortable housing for two, and if there is an attic, even three or four people. In size, such a one-story building resembles small-sized city apartments, in which whole families also live. The difference between such a house built on its own plot is the layout of the space, taking into account the needs of all the people living in it.
