Low-rise house projects. Apartment building projects

At the end of June, the defense of trial theses of the 4th year (evening department) took place at the Moscow Architectural Institute. The students were given the task of developing a project for an apartment building, which was part of a previously completed project for a residential area.

The works were evaluated by teachers of the department of “Structures of buildings and structures”: member of the council of the faculty of special training Irina Mikhailovna Yastrebova, deputy dean of the evening department Olga Yuryevna Suslova, dean of the evening department Petr Mikhailovich Zhuk and associate professor of the department of “Structures of buildings and structures” Vladimir Venyaminovich Guryev. They had to choose from over 100 evening student projects. The works noted by the commission received the highest scores.

We are publishing the seven best projects of 4th year students of the evening department of the Moscow Architectural Institute.

Asya Zaripova. 3rd group. Project of an apartment building in the Likhoborka microdistrict, Golovinsky district of Moscow
Teachers: Ulyanov V.I., Ulyanova E.V.

The standard house project proposes the creation of a complex multi-storey development. Its meridional orientation is determined by climatic conditions.

A feature of the layout was a change in the orientation of individual sections: this solves the problem of monotony of common corridors. The height of the individual sections depends on the distance between them. The idea of ​​the project is a harmonious combination of gallery and sectional structures. The project involves the improvement of courtyards, pedestrian and bicycle paths between houses.

Vilen Galimov. 1 group. Multi-apartment residential building project.

The designed building consists of two separate volumes embedded into each other. The buildings have a common staircase and elevator unit. The main part of the building is a corridor-sectional type. The second volume is of a gallery-sectional type and is two floors higher than the main one (the main one is 13 floors, the additional one is 15). Each section includes five apartments. The facade is covered with brick and plaster. The first floor is dedicated to public spaces.

Alexandra Kashina. 1 group. Project of an apartment building in the Likhoborka microdistrict, Golovinsky district of Moscow
Teachers: Yastrebova I.M., Lagotska T.V., Istomina E.B., Vorobiev V.A.

The building fits into the existing neighborhood development. The selected site is located in the north-west of Moscow and is cut by the Likhoborka River, and the landscape of this area determines the volumetric-spatial solution of the building. The main idea of ​​the project is rotating tiers divided into separate cells. The first floors are given over to public spaces, with penthouses planned for the roof.

Stanislav Krasnoperov. 2nd group. Project of an apartment building for Krasnoperekopskydistrict in Yaroslavl.
Teachers: Nabokova T.B., Tulupnikov S.V.

The project was created for a residential area in Yaroslavl, which was previously an industrial zone. The project introduces the residential building into the existing context.

The varying height of the house ensures insolation of the yard and streets. The first floor is given over to social apartments and commercial and domestic facilities. Thanks to the multi-level composition, two-story apartments and apartments with roof terraces were created on the upper floors. Brick and tiles were used in the cladding, which allowed the building to fit into its context.

Konstantin Pastukhov. 2nd group. Project of an apartment building in the area Mitino city Moscow.
Teachers:
Nabokova T. B., Tulupnikov S. V.

The proposed building should become a high-rise dominant feature of the entire Moscow Mitino district. The project stands out thanks to the 12-story arch, asymmetrically located on the facade and as if dividing the building into two buildings. It is planned to clad the facades of these two parts with different materials.

There is a 3-level underground parking. The first floor will be occupied by public spaces.

Vyacheslav Razinkov. 3rd group. Multi-apartment residential building projectnear the Vodny Stadion metro stationin Moscow
Teachers:
Ulyanov V.I., Ulyanova E.V.

The site chosen for the project is located in the Northern Administrative District of Moscow near the Vodny Stadion metro station.

A complex of two tower-type houses standing on a 3-story stylobate has been designed: its premises are supposed to be rented out for public needs. We are talking about a luxury residential facility. Monolithic reinforced concrete is used in the stylobate part, and the high-rise part is supposed to be constructed using a system of ventilated facades covered with aluminum panels of different sizes.

The project of an apartment building, as well as reconstruction work, always begins with the preparation of a sketch section. At this stage, the main collection and analysis of information occurs, on which site planning and development of the facility are based. This includes terrain features, the total building area, the height of the house and the number of residential and non-residential premises. After this, a sketch is made with the preliminary location of each object, room, the location and size of windows and doors are determined. The design of low-rise apartment buildings is developed taking into account the lower load on the foundation and supporting structures, which can significantly reduce the costs of installation and manufacturing of structures, and the purchase of materials.

Within 30 days, Minister Kelemen Hunor had to decide whether he would approve the project, which involves the construction of a 37.5 meter high block behind the palace, a historical monument. This opinion was not given, and the owner, businessman Ovidiu Popescu, filed a lawsuit with the Ministry of Culture.

A 22 meter high block at the Roman Athenaeum in a green space. Civil society believes that such construction has nothing in common with the Roman Athenaeum. Mihai Eminescu with Calea Dorobanti, above two buildings over 100 years old. The tower should be located in close proximity to the historical monuments in Cale Dorobanti and Eminescu Street. The area's parish also expressed opposition to the church's proposed casino project. The buildings will house offices, casinos, hotels, homes, offices and commerce.



Development of a project for a multi-apartment residential building (Stage P)

Development of documentation at stage P begins with the architectural design of multi-apartment residential buildings. At this stage, our specialists develop the design of the facility, determine with the customer the functions of residential and technical premises, and also select materials for their finishing, and calculate the cost of designing multi-apartment residential buildings. At the stage of design decisions, a plan for the location of the foundation and the placement of load-bearing structures is developed, taking into account the climate of the area and the maximum temperature difference. An important element in the design of apartment buildings is the development of diagrams for the laying and installation of utility networks, calculations of the necessary equipment and network parameters. Our company’s specialists design multi-apartment residential buildings so that not only their installation, but also subsequent operation is economically justified.

The owner of the land is Rubin Gold, and the architect Doreen Stefan is the designer. After several discussions and protests from civil society, the City Technical Commission leaned towards the project proposed by the Romanian architect Dorin Stefan, a member of the same Commission. The height of the project was reduced and finally it reached a building about 40 meters high.

According to the Urbanism Law, at this moment private investors could not initiate Zonal Urban Plans in the following situations: construction of industrial parks, technology parks, supermarkets, hypermarkets, commercial parks, cultural parks, industrial areas, development zones of residential complexes. None of these features are found in this project. Meanwhile, the urbanism law changed again and the investor was able to obtain the necessary permits.



Support of the multi-apartment residential building project during examination and approval

Finished projects of multi-apartment residential buildings are necessarily subject to state or commercial examination. At this stage, all project documentation is subject to thorough check and if any inconsistencies are identified, the entire residential building project is sent for revision. Our team of specialists helps to pass the examination the first time, which saves both time and money for our customers. GENPROEKT employees not only accompany project documentation, but also help obtain it.

Building over 100 years old on Anton Panna Street no. 29 was demolished based on a permit issued by the mayor's office. based on a permit issued by the mayor's office in the same year. The building is not a historical monument, but it is part of the Labyrinth conservation area and should be preserved as such with maximum protection.

The building permit is based on the opinion of the Ministry of Culture. Before it was destroyed, the building had been abandoned in a cave and had reached an advanced stage of degradation. Christian Dream will demolish the mayor's office headed by Oprescu. The area is Amzey Square, demolition permits are issued by the mayor's office. Of the most valuable building there is only a wall and a series of rooms behind it.



Detailed designs for multi-apartment residential buildings (detailed documentation, stage P)

After obtaining permission for the construction of high- or low-rise, for example, 3-storey apartment buildings, working documentation is developed for the projects. At stage P, the drawings of the facility are worked out in more detail, estimates for work and materials to be used in construction are calculated, and recommendations for the installation of structures, utility networks and equipment are developed. Based on the working documentation, the construction of the facility will be carried out, so it is very important to describe all stages in detail and include economical, but no less high-quality materials in the estimate. Our specialists find only the optimal solutions for a multi-apartment residential building project, which fully reflect the wishes of our clients.

According to a historical study commissioned by architects in Bucharest, the buildings were of exceptional value and were given the status of a historical monument. According to the city plan approved by the General Council of Bucharest, the building was to be replaced by a block of five floors. 7-storey block above the house of Spiru Haret.

Civil society has repeatedly opposed this project. How to get a museum of destruction Spiru Haret spent the last years of his life in this house, and after his death it became a museum. Personal items, books, manuscripts and furniture were given to the new owner on the condition that they set up a museum, which occurred. Things changed after the war, the building became the property of the People's Council of the capital.



Construction of low-rise multi-apartment residential buildings projects

It includes many stages that can be difficult to control on your own. Such questions may arise when working with unverified contractors or in the absence of a project for an apartment building that regulates the implementation of all work on the construction of a residential property. GENPROEKT employees can recommend reliable partners who will not inflate prices or perform unnecessary work. In addition, the company is ready to take control of the construction of a turnkey apartment building, providing designer supervision and reporting to the customer.

The owner's intentions became very clear a year later when he received the approvals needed to build a seven-story block above Spiru Haret's house. The fact is that, although the house is a monument of local importance, the project has the opinion of the Ministry of Culture, when even the liberal minister was on the helmet.

General urban plan, the ground is a green space with a vertical emphasis. The law prohibits the construction of green spaces. Currently this is underground work. There were two old houses on the site. Before the fire there was a Spanish restaurant.




The 9-storey block is now almost complete, but the old house has not yet been restored. The land on which the 9-storey building block was built is part of the Amsee conservation area. According to the city planning regulations, the city's regulated indicators were: Land percentage: 45%, land utilization rate: 2.5, maximum height: 16 meters. Urban indicators approved by the mayor's office are almost doubled: land yield: 52%, land use coefficient: 4.5, maximum height: 42 meters.

The project has already been approved by the mayor's office and the Ministry of Environment. In Bucharest's Green Cadastre, the land is conveyed as green space, which is also visible in the on-site photographs. Let us remind you that the law does not allow the construction of green spaces. The decision was suspended by the prefect.


Urban development is characterized by high density, richness of buildings and infrastructure elements. The cost of urban land is very high, so densely populated city centers are traditionally built up with multi-story residential buildings and buildings that house various businesses and institutions. These structures have a direct impact on the appearance of cities and shape the urban environment. Therefore, the projects of apartment buildings, which are being developed, significantly affect the visual appearance of populated areas.

The apartment building modernization program is aimed at improving the energy efficiency of the hottest apartment buildings, whose owners have the highest housing maintenance costs, thereby reducing the cost of heating apartments for the population.

Currently, there are two possible ways to modernize apartment buildings. In order to improve the energy efficiency of housing, at least 50% must be approved. 1 resident of the house. Owners do not need to take on any organizational and credit obligations and project implementation risks.

Project of a low-rise apartment building

During the period of mass urbanization, standard designs of apartment buildings were widely used, which did not always meet even the minimum aesthetic standards, which led to depressing monotony and standardization of the urban living environment, which negatively affected the convenience of residents and the possibilities for the development of urban areas.

Retrofitting a low-rise apartment building reduces heating costs so that the rest of the money is often enough to cover the renovation costs. In the old construction of an apartment building, all the basic energy efficiency measures were implemented - by upgrading windows, doors, heating systems and insulating roofs, walls, you can save about 50%. expenses.

The vast majority of residential buildings in Lithuania consume a lot of heat. According to experts, depending on the investment in home modernization, renovating an apartment can save about 50%. energy used to heat a building. Occupation of Sinialos in December.

In addition to technological attractiveness, the use of standard solutions significantly reduces the design of internal networks, since they already have heating systems, etc. In modern architecture there is a tendency aimed at overcoming outdated approaches to the formation of urban development.


Providing individual or collective housing in a capitalist society usually requires the use of a property purchase mechanism to rent, buy or build a home. In this context, the concept of social or workers' residence is defined as a form of government intervention in a given specific market with the stated purpose of providing shelter to the working classes of the population or, more generally, the poor social strata who would not have access to satisfactory living conditions without the required financial support.

Projects of multi-storey apartment buildings

Today, projects of multi-apartment multi-storey buildings are tried to be individualized as much as possible, using architectural techniques and planning solutions. Refusal of the mass use of standard series, which made it possible to replicate them, tying them in accordance with the nature of the construction site and the features of the existing architecture, has a positive effect on the appearance of modern microdistricts and built-up areas.

The following analysis will make clear that organized housing development was often used by the state as a tool to dismantle pre-existing settlements that were designed to self-sustain sites, and were radical outbreaks of resistance to ruling class plans. After presenting the general historical context at the international and domestic levels, our discussion will focus on the work blocks of Egaleo.

From “The Trial of Karl Marx” to “The Battle of Paragus”

In addition to the makeshift shelters that the workers themselves make for their roofs, some industrialists first take it upon themselves to build settlements to house the workers working in their factories.


Palace of Karl Marx. In contrast to the eclecticism and monumentality that characterized the architectural style of Vienna's industrial housing, the extensive housing programs implemented in interwar Germany began to apply the principles of modernism and the "new objectivity". Article 155 of the Weimar Constitution promises to provide a "healthy home" for all citizens of the country.

Although standard designs are still widely used today, especially in the construction of residential complexes, much more attention is paid to ensuring the individual appearance of individual buildings and the harmonious linking of buildings of the same type into an original architectural ensemble.


Agglomerations, built to house predominantly the poor, are located in suburban areas of cities, have relatively low heights - no more than five floors - and provide residents with adequate access to light, sun and air. Architectural influences from the British Canyoning Movement are combined with new fabrication techniques and industrial mass production of buildings, while new materials such as glass and steel are widely used.


Bruno Taut - Settlement of Petallo.


Taking into account the above background in the context of the birth and development of the question of working-class housing in Greece and the rest of the capitalist world, we will now focus on the working-class apartment neighborhoods of Egaleo.

If earlier, by the appearance of an apartment building, it was possible to predict how the apartments were located on the site, how many rooms there were in each of them and what layouts were used, today, along with the appearance of the building, the internal arrangement also changes.

Designers and architects abandoned the standard and previously widely used solution, when one, two and three-room apartments were located on one floor, and then this projection was extended to all floors.

The groups were mainly populated by working families from the Piraeus area. The reasons are many and go beyond the decontamination of the area around the harbor, which has been plagued by the presence of tens of thousands of internally displaced refugees and immigrants. This entire population was a large part of the working class with almost compact functions concentrated in a few square kilometers. Within this compact, the constant social osmosis and the actual qualification of a conscious general class of all these people constituted for the post-state state a problem that had to be solved in all respects.

Nowadays, apartments with identical layouts are difficult to find, not only on the same site or on the same floor; even within the same building, duplicate solutions are rarely used.


Ready-made project for an apartment building

The variety of shapes and interior layouts depends on the shape, size and location of the premises within one apartment. To individualize housing, the plan includes one or two balconies, loggias, and half-loggias. And in some houses you can leave an open plan, which allows you to organize the space as the owners need it without regard to standard solutions.

The only stumbling block in apartment buildings is still engineering communication systems. And therefore, no matter how hard the designers try, they have to organize the space inside a high-rise building based on risers, water inlets and outlets and heating pipes.

Low-rise apartment buildings

One of the ways to improve the urban environment and ensure comfortable living is the tendency to reduce the number of floors of buildings as they move away from the center and the building density decreases. Therefore, a pressing issue for the formation of development of the outer diameters of large settlements, cities and towns with a small number of residents is a successful and well-developed project of a low-rise multi-apartment residential building.


project of a low-rise apartment building for 33 apartments

Low-rise construction allows you to avoid such large costs as organizing an elevator service in a residential building and installing a technical floor to ensure the functioning of communication systems of a high-rise building. Therefore, buildings of two to five floors dominate in areas with low potential for maintaining complex systems.

For example, the project of a three-story multi-apartment residential building will be significantly different from a six-story or nine-story building, even if in other respects they are as close as possible.


standard design of a 3-storey apartment building

In low-rise construction, costs are reduced not only for meeting the specific requirements for high-rise buildings, but also the costs of constructing foundations are reduced, and the foundations themselves are simplified, since the load taken by the load-bearing foundation is not so great. Low-rise construction has significant advantages in areas with low land costs and acceptable costs for organizing and providing life support infrastructure.

Individual water supply, sewerage and heating systems included in the complex of the building itself or a small group of houses are increasingly being used, which makes it possible to refuse to connect to centralized networks and save significant resources.


They are also successful in developing individual territories and creating comfortable suburban settlements. They also realize the compactness, convenience, and relative cheapness of densely packed housing, built at lower costs.


The project of a two-story multi-apartment residential building brings the level of comfort of living in an apartment closer to that of a private house, especially if it involves two-level apartments with a separate entrance and an adjacent individual plot.


standard design of a 2-storey apartment building

Townhouses are also one of the types of low-rise apartment buildings. Small grouped buildings of two or three floors have separate street entrances to each apartment. But with maximum autonomy, the philosophy of an apartment building is preserved and contacts with neighbors, although reduced to a minimum, are still present.

Such an organization of living space allows you to significantly save on the organization of communications and the installation of utility networks.

Low-rise residential construction, while maintaining the principle of multi-apartment housing, involves a large number of solutions for the logical division of space. Such projects are now gaining popularity and are increasingly in demand, because land for individual housing construction is becoming more expensive, and with a group approach to construction, the costs of materials and work turn out to be meager.

Design features of apartment buildings

The variety of types and types of multi-storey buildings is also realized through constructive solutions. Projects of panel apartment buildings are attractive due to their fast implementation time and relative cheapness of space. Despite the archaic nature and limited architectural forms, such buildings make it possible to create fairly organic architectural ensembles when using a more expressive appearance in a complex of buildings as the dominant feature of the development.

The use of modern insulating materials and high-quality molds for casting panels at building factories makes it possible to get rid of the chronic ailments of this type of building, characteristic of the beginning of the era of their use in the Soviet period.


typical panel apartment building

In particular, the sound insulation properties of houses built using panel technology have been improved. We also achieved a reduction in thermal conductivity and strengthening of weak points – panel joints. Thanks to this, panel houses still occupy a leading position in the real estate market, as they are one of the most inexpensive options and are quickly erected.

Respectability and capital are offered by more expensive projects of brick apartment buildings, which consistently occupy the top positions of the luxury housing market. Brick buildings are the most expensive type of housing construction, although the use of well masonry with high-quality insulation allows one to find a “golden mean” between reasonable wall thickness and acceptable thermal conductivity.

The supply of buildings made of monolithic structures that are new to the real estate market is expanding. More expressive in architectural design, not associated with rigid parameters of the dimensions of load-bearing structures and floors, projects of monolithic apartment buildings arouse a certain interest, despite their southern origin and some difficulties in construction at subzero temperatures, as well as low manufacturability and high costs of manual labor for construction site.

But many of the shortcomings of monolithic concrete technology are compensated by the fact that if the necessary formwork and labor are available, such buildings do not require complex ready-made structures for the installation of load-bearing elements.

In Moscow, it is important to use the land area for construction as efficiently as possible so that the new building becomes a profitable asset. To achieve this, we provide a full range of services for the design of multi-storey buildings. We will develop the design outside and inside, draw up estimates and calculations for each stage of construction, collect IRD and coordinate the project of a high-rise residential building with the administration. The contract with us stipulates the guaranteed passage of an examination and obtaining permission to construct a building.

Advantages of an individual project

Individual projects of apartment buildings allow you not only to choose the concept of the building (Elite, Comfort or Economy), but also give greater freedom in the form of construction and the choice of the number of floors. The project price for an apartment building is not high compared to the suboptimal construction costs; The cost of the future object depends on the calculations of the choice of materials for construction. Therefore, individual designs for multi-storey buildings help subsequently save money by optimally distributing materials or using special design solutions.

The design of multi-apartment buildings includes the development of internal layouts so that new apartments are popular and always in demand due to their comfort. We will draw up a project for an apartment building with studios, or a number of rooms from 1 to 7, with a separate or walk-through layout. With an individual project of multi-storey residential buildings, it is easier to choose different sizes of the kitchen, bathrooms and technical rooms, which will affect the convenience.

Development of the local area

In Moscow, in addition to the project of an apartment building, it is important to take into account the landscape and surrounding infrastructure, which determines how popular and attractive this place will be for subsequent real estate buyers. Therefore, the service includes the design of a residential neighborhood, taking into account the size and shape of the yard, children's and sports grounds, parking areas, benches and paths. The construction of a building according to such a residential complex project will be a profitable investment in Moscow.

Elaboration of details in the project for the construction of an apartment building

An important part of the construction project of a multi-storey building is the laying out of the drawings of water supply, electrical, sewerage, heating, ventilation, and gas communications. The design of a multi-storey apartment building immediately takes into account the location of low-current networks for intercom and alarm systems. When the computer model of the future house is ready, we perform a free planting of the building, placing its construction axes on the ground. This way you can see how the building will fit into the area. Detailed design documentation for an apartment building facilitates easy and quick construction.

The cost of urban land is very high, so densely populated city centers are traditionally built up with multi-story residential buildings and buildings that house various businesses and institutions.
