House designs 14 by 8. Convenient house layout for living

A one-story house with an area of 10x10 meters provides some freedom of action. Of course, this is not a two-story mansion, where each family member will have their own spacious room, but also not a house with an area of 50 square meters, which accommodates not only a utility area, but also two, or even three or four rooms.

The number of rooms, their sizes, and purpose are much easier to vary when the area of the house is 100 square meters. And there are many more projects with such a square footage. Consider the most optimal projects for comfortable living of a large or small family so that it is easier for you to choose the appropriate option.

A one-story house on a plot takes up more space than a building of the same area, but with two floors. However, for a family with children or elderly or disabled relatives, this option is more preferable - it is safer and more convenient.

And a staircase that would lead to the second floor would take up useful space.

But there are other advantages of such a building.

The usable area is enough to accommodate a family of 4 or even 5 people.
The level of injuries is reduced due to the absence of stairs.
Makes house cleaning easier.
The design of all rooms of the house can be done in the same style.
The house warms up faster and retains heat longer.
The house is square in shape, the number of solutions is large.
The foundation does not need additional reinforcement, since it only needs to support one floor.

A one-story 10×10 house can be comfortable and spacious. The layout of the rooms and their location depends on the size of the family. So everyone will feel comfortable in it, including guests who, no, no, and even want to stay overnight.

Important: Please note that the stated area of 10×10 does not mean that its living or total area will be so. 10-20 sq.m will be covered by external walls and interior partitions used for zoning.

Therefore, the usable space with which you will operate will remain 80-90 m2. And this is quite enough - see for yourself.

The presented version of the house has a total area of 76.55 sq.m., of which 48.25 is living space. And only one room (living room) is a walk-through room.

2 children's rooms of 9.32 sq.m.
Bedroom 11.58 sq.m.
Hall 18.03 sq.m.
Kitchen 7.32 sq.m.

The remaining area was able to accommodate a boiler room, a bathroom, a vestibule or dressing room and a hall.

If you don’t need 2 children’s rooms, one room can be used as an office or guest room. If the house is heated by a double-circuit boiler and a boiler room is not needed, the bathroom can be made separate or the freed-up space can be used for a wardrobe, pantry, or dryer.

A small family does not need additional living rooms. And if necessary, guests can be accommodated in the living room for the night.

Please note that the total area of this house includes the area of external walls and partitions.

A corridor (8 sq.m.) leads from the entrance deep into the house.
To the left and right hand from it there are doors to bedrooms of 16 sq.m.
The corridor turns into a hall, at the end of which a room for technical and utility needs with an area of 5.4 sq.m. is fenced off. The area of the spacious hall is 18.6 sq.m.
The house has a spacious combined unit (12 sq.m.) and a kitchen combined with a living room.

If desired, the kitchen can be moved to the technical room, and the living room can be converted into two zones: a guest room and a relaxation area, or a cool home office can be equipped.

If you do not touch the layout, then in a fenced-off room you can arrange a boiler room, a dryer, an additional bathroom or a closet.

The advantage of this project is that each of the rooms, be it residential or utility, is not a walk-through room.

Rooms should be located in the house not only so that everyone is spacious and comfortable. The orientation of the house to the cardinal points should also be taken into account. So, a bathroom, kitchen, pantry, boiler room will completely survive the lack of light. But bedrooms, children's rooms and living rooms need long-lasting and sufficient natural light.

This project has a total area of almost 80.96 sq.m, with a living area of 53.96 sq.m, and the living area consists of 2 bedrooms and a living room.

Bedroom 1 – 14.37 sq.m. It can be a guest room, an office or a nursery.
Bedroom 2 – 16.07 sq.m.
Living room – 23.52 sq.m.
Kitchen-dining room – 10.91 sq.m.
Combined bathroom – 6.06 sq.m.

A vestibule leads into the house, at the end of which there is a boiler room or storage room with an area of 3.28 sq.m.

The area of the house is 10x10 by 2.3 meters. These premises can be sacrificed if the size of the site does not allow them to remain. And make the entrance from the street directly into the hall, fencing it off, for example, with a plasterboard wall with a door.

The advantage of this option is that, having accommodated 3 living rooms in the area of the house, it was possible to make each of them separate.

In a house with an area of 100 square meters, it is quite possible to plan not only the living area and kitchen and technical premises. It is possible to arrange open terrace, which is the dream of everyone who buys a country private one-story house 10x10. The layout of the rooms will be practical and comfortable.

Take a look at the proposed project for yourself. It has three bedrooms of 11.9; 12.2 and 12.5 sq.m. and living room 20.2 sq.m. The space between the rooms is a kitchen, which also serves as a dining room with an area of 13.1 sq.m. The toilet room is combined, located next to the entrance to the house.

The living room has four windows and sliding door. The room receives a lot of natural light. Therefore, you can make a glass veranda behind it. And go to it almost straight from home. If this solution seems inconvenient to you, install a door instead of one window. And the window can be moved to the place of the existing sliding doors.

The same terrace, but smaller in size, can be made in front of the entrance to the house.

Any of the presented options can be changed. For example, moving a wall to make a room or terrace larger. Demolish interior partitions that are not load-bearing to make the rooms more spacious (loft style). And changing the purpose of the room will not be as difficult as it seems. After all, this a private house, and not an apartment in a high-rise building.

One-story house 10×10: room layout and its basics

A 10x10 house is considered a medium sized house. Moreover, it is a one-room apartment. And, despite all its advantages, its external walls cannot be moved apart to separate one room.

Therefore, it is worth initially deciding which rooms in the house are necessary and which you can do without.

We need a living room. This is not a master bedroom, but a gathering place for the whole family. This room should not be neglected. We give him the most spacious room.
The number of bedrooms depends on the size of the family. A young family may soon expand, so there should be at least 2 bedrooms.
The kitchen, if its space allows, can also be a dining room. Even an area of 10-13 sq.m can accommodate both a cooking area and a dining set.
The bathroom is one of the most necessary technical rooms.
Pantry. If you have space, great. Otherwise, supplies are stored in outbuildings in the yard. But you can allocate a space of 1.5-2.5 sq.m. for it in any way in the kitchen or in the hall.
Wardrobe. You can do without a separate room for it. Install wardrobes from floor to ceiling. This will solve the problem of placing things. Useful ideas and tips can be gleaned from our article on decorating a small dressing room.
A dryer is optional.
A boiler room is only needed if the house has a stove and steam heating is installed. But most families use double-circuit boilers, gas heating and install heated floors. Therefore, the need for this room disappears and additional square footage is freed up. And just right for a storage room or bathroom.
Terrace. You can refuse, but you don’t want to.

We increase functionality without expanding the walls

You can make your living area more spacious by making adjustments to the layout.

House plans 8 by 14 are quite in demand among developers, including in 2018. Therefore, we regularly fill our catalog with new projects containing original ideas layouts.

Plans for 8 by 14 house projects from the Z500 company and erroneous opinions about them

The development of house projects as an industry is developing quite actively. At the same time, the number of false opinions regarding European projects is growing rapidly. Our company’s projects have also become overgrown with many myths on the Internet. We will try to dispel the most popular ones in this article.

Myth 1: the European cottage project 8 by 14 does not take into account Russian building standards

Our company is guided by the main rule - adapting Z500 projects to the requirements of construction legislation. Likewise, for Russia, all European projects of private houses are brought into compliance with current SNiPs relating to engineering, architectural and constructive solutions.

Myth 2: a ready-made 8 by 14 house plan cannot be adjusted

The Z500 company has all the necessary qualified specialists (architects, design engineers, designers) who can easily make changes to the projects chosen by the client, since they have all the initial information.

Myth 3: ordering an individual or original project is more profitable than buying a standard one and making changes to it

Our company employs all the necessary specialists who, if it is necessary to adjust the project chosen by the client, will do this at a reasonable price. They will also make all changes to the design documentation. That is, there is no need to attract external architects and designers, which can significantly increase the cost estimate for creating a project.

Myth 4: the foundation of the house was designed for a different soil category

The foundation laid in a standard project cannot be implemented on every soil. That’s why we adapt the foundation, taking into account the individual characteristics of the soil.

Myth 5: there is no detailing of nodes in projects

That’s right, in the original European projects there is no detailing of individual components, since experienced builders are required to have knowledge of elementary components even without clarification in the project.

Myth 6: house 8 by 14 - the project does not include stairs

Our projects don't really have a staircase section because most builders prefer to make this structure out of wood. Therefore, there is no need to make calculations for a concrete staircase, which increase the cost of construction.

Myth 7: The boiler room does not meet standards

Indeed, not every layout of 8 by 14 houses posted on the site meets Russian requirements for the placement of a boiler room, since almost all projects are a copy of the Polish version. But when adapting projects, we make all the necessary adjustments to the parameters of the boiler room, in accordance with Russian standards.

Myth 8: after purchasing a residential cottage project, you cannot ask clarifying questions

We always provide our clients with the opportunity to receive qualified advice regarding the content of projects.

Myth 9: architectural projects developed 5 or more years ago do not correspond to modern technical solutions

All cottage projects are periodically checked by specialists for compliance with current construction standards, the requirements of rationality and comfort, as well as technological innovations.

Myth 10: 8 by 14 house project plans are not suitable for construction

Our company has been operating on the market for quite a long time. And during this time, in various cities of the country, our partners implemented a variety of projects of 8 by 14 houses, photos and videos of which, as a sign of confirmation, were posted in the “Implementation” section of the website. That is, the suitability of our projects for turnkey construction becomes obvious.

We do not want to claim that our company is an ideal, but we are improving and trying to quickly correct the shortcomings that are present on the site. We strive to ensure that every layout of 8 by 14 house projects complies with SNiPs and offers our clients only best projects private houses (drawings, diagrams, preliminary designs and other visual information of which can be viewed in this section).

For a comfortable stay in a private house, you need a significant amount of more area than in an apartment. If 50 square meters- a standard two-room apartment in urban conditions - seems quite sufficient for a family of 3-4 people, then the layout one-story house of this size would be extremely difficult. It is more appropriate to use such small-sized options for country house construction or as permanent housing for one person, a married couple without children or pensioners.

Project of a one-story house 11×11 with layout

One floor would be preferable to a two-story counterpart. Although horizontal construction will take up more space on the land plot, it will allow all premises to be located on the same level. The biggest disadvantage of two-story buildings is the staircase; it will simply be absent in a one-story building.

The advantages of a one-story house over two- and three-story analogues are obvious.

Layout option for a one-story house 9x9

To build a classic one-story house, you can choose any material on the market and use almost any type of foundation, based on the characteristics of the soil on which the house will be built. And also the location of all rooms in the same plane and the absence of stairs is one of the main advantages of low-rise buildings.

Due to the absence of the need to arrange interfloor communication, you can refuse to use a spacious hallway or hall, and use the freed-up space for other needs. A building with a basement floor will also be considered a one-story house. Despite three full operating levels, the house actually remains one-story. But the usable area that can be effectively used turns out to be many times larger.

A one-story house can be combined with a garage, combining them with a common roof. This option is suitable for both spacious one-story buildings and small-sized projects.

In this case, they represent a single stylistic ensemble; using such a garage is much more convenient and comfortable, since the room can be heated, and you can get inside directly from the house.

Materials for the construction of one-story houses

For one-story houses are increasingly choosing environmentally clean materials. , blocks, or have long become classics. Relatively new and modern technology – frame construction. One of the most budget options and the fastest.

However, houses made of logs and timber fit more harmoniously into the interior of suburban areas. The rounding is more solid and representative. Hence the high cost. Houses made of timber are simpler and more affordable. However, they are in no way inferior to log cabins in quality and performance characteristics. In addition, laminated laminated timber is simpler and more convenient to work with than solid wood.

The exterior of a private house should not only match the tastes of the owners, but also fit into the surrounding landscape. If houses made of brick or stone may look somewhat heavy and overly pretentious, then one-story houses made of timber will be an excellent decoration for any site: from an abandoned wild garden to a well-kept property in any style. Rustic simplicity and minimalism are the basis of most interior and exterior styles: rustic, farmhouse, country, retro.

Additional elements of a one-story house

By itself, a one-story house is a rather boring and uninteresting building. To revive appearance buildings and internal layout, you can add several optional, but very functional elements to the project. The drawings will become only a little more complicated, but the one-story house will look fresh and interesting.

Ground floor

The basement floor is not considered a full floor, and therefore will not change the nominal number of floors of the building.

Project and layout of a one-story private house 8x8

However, with the arrangement and improvement of the underground part of the house, you can add a significant area to your possessions. It is quite difficult to create living quarters in the basement due to the lack of normal ventilation and natural light. However, it is quite possible to lower all the utility and utility rooms downstairs. Even in small house, with an area of 8x8, there are plenty of things and equipment that will feel great in the basement.

A heating boiler, water supply system, laundry room, dryer, ironing board, area for storing vegetables and home canning will free up a lot of usable space on the ground floor of the house if they move into the basement.

And finally, storage rooms and closets can also be installed in the underground floor. Drawings of large projects include the location of recreation rooms in the basement. They install a billiard table there, equip a cinema and Gym. Often there is a sauna with a small pool inside.

Attic floor

A house with an attic in terms of construction costs is not much different from an ordinary one. The arrangement of the upper room requires almost the same amount of materials as the attic area. Plus, you will have to additionally spend money on insulation and finishing, and later heating the room. That is why the attic is quite often found in projects of one-story houses.

It also cannot be considered a full floor. Its usable area will be less than the first floor. But the layout of a one-story house with an attic can be much more interesting and varied than an ordinary one-story building.

The attic is used as an analogue of the second floor. And if it is present in the house, then they try to organize bedrooms and a small bathroom upstairs. Depending on the size, the number of bedrooms will vary.

Original layout of a cottage with an attic 10×10

For example, in a 10x10 house, the attic will very comfortably accommodate three small bedrooms, a small hall and even a small storage room.

One-story house with garage

One floor in a house is not an obstacle to arranging a garage under one roof. It can be either symmetrical or have a very open layout. In the first case, the garage is located under the same roof as the living quarters, separated by main walls. Visually, such a house seems symmetrical; it can be divided in half into a part with a garage and a living half. In the second case, the garage can be adjacent to the house on any side and in any way. The main thing is that in the end it turns out to be a capital, covered, heated room, which can be accessed not only from the street, but also directly from the house. The size of the house itself is not important. This can be either a more solid one-story cottage 15x15.

The garage can be used in conjunction with other elements - the ground floor and attic. Such a one-story house will not only be more functional compared to simple buildings without architectural additions, but also look much more interesting in appearance.

Decorative elements

Such additions include a terrace, bay window and balcony. With the exception of the bay window, all the rest are external extensions that can be used in the warm season, in good weather. On the veranda or terrace you can organize a dining area in the summer, or in the evenings for meeting friends. The balcony is quite suitable for arranging a relaxation area.

A bay window will not only help make a one-story house more interesting from the outside, but will also diversify the interior design. compare favorably with boring regular boxes. The bay window can become an element wooden house or stone. The shape of this decorative element will simply depend on the choice of material.

Room placement options

The area of a one-story house, as well as the presence of certain additional elements, will determine how the rooms and functional areas inside the building will be located.

Detailed layout of a one-story cottage 7x8

House layout 8x8

This is a very compact house, it is perfect for one person or as a house that is used seasonally or on weekends. One of the layout options involves the arrangement of two rooms - a living room of 16 square meters and a bedroom of 10 square meters. m. There is also room in the house for a spacious kitchen (12 sq. m.). The rest of the space is occupied by a corridor, a bathroom, an entrance hall and a storage room. Maximum space with the required minimum.

Another option is suitable for a married couple without children or with one child. Such changes became possible thanks to the appearance of the attic. On the ground floor there is an entrance hall with a built-in dressing room, a spacious hall, a separate bathroom and a kitchen combined with a living room.

And on the second floor there are two spacious bedrooms and a small bathroom.

8x10 house layout

There are more and more layout options, but finding a truly comfortable and suitable one is not an easy task. However, it is possible to place 4 bedrooms, a living room and a kitchen in a wave. And that's not counting the utility rooms and bathrooms. IN this project there is a small veranda from which it leads inside Entrance door. The house starts with a vestibule of 3 square meters. m., and then a hallway leading into the living room. The living room in this version is a walk-through room.

Thanks to this solution, it was possible to avoid the use of corridors and turn the entire available area into useful space.

A small living room of 12 square meters does not seem small at all due to the fact that it is a passage room. In its circle there are 4 bedrooms with sizes from 13 to 6 square meters, and a kitchen of 8 square meters.

8x10 cottage layout with veranda

If desired, the kitchen can be combined with the living room by removing the partition between them.

House layout 10x10

It is no longer a small building. This is a full-fledged country cottage on one floor. If it is supplemented with a basement or attic, then the options for arranging such a house will number in the dozens.
It is difficult to give specific recommendations here internal layout. It is worth focusing on the specific needs of the owners and the number of residents. And to make it convenient, just listen to the basic design principles:

The optimal size of a one-story house for a family of 4-5 people is considered to be a building of 120 square meters.

Example of a 12×12 cottage layout

The entire area that goes beyond this indicator is used to improve living conditions, comfortable stay for all family members, and expand and enlarge existing premises.

And of course, when choosing the project and layout of a one-story house, do not forget that the final area will directly influence the formation of the cost of maintenance. In particular, heating and lighting a large house will be much more expensive than a small one-story cottage. The annual tax will also be calculated based on the total area of the building.

Owners of small land plots may pay attention to projects with an attic or one-story buildings. These options are also optimal for owners on a limited budget. Increase living space A terrace or veranda will allow.

If you can invest a lot of money, it is worth taking a closer look at 8x8 two-story houses. The living quarters can then be redesigned. This building will be an ideal solution for a large family.

During construction, it is worthwhile to position colonnades, bay windows and other decorative elements correctly and sparingly. It is better not to make narrow corridors. They reduce the usable area.

Today thanks modern projects you can play with the following details when building a house:

Number, sizes and shape of windows.
The use not of wood and brick, but of other materials, varied in their properties and qualities, for the construction of walls and roofs.
Original design.

One-story house 8 by 8 - layout

Let it be the layout of an 8 by 8 house with one floor for a family with two children. Parents and children will need two bedrooms, keeping in mind that as the children grow older they will need desks for studying. A child's bedroom should be larger than an adult's, and it will no longer be quite a bedroom, but simply a multifunctional room.

For an adult bedroom with one window you will need at least 12 sq.m., for a children's room with two windows - 18 sq.m. m. In the children's room, in addition to sleeping places and work tables, it will be possible to place multifunctional wardrobes. It will be possible to allocate 20 square meters for the hall, then 14 square meters will remain for such important rooms as the kitchen, bathroom and corridor. It is customary to place the kitchen closer to the entrance, so that three exits can lead from the corridor (also known as the hallway): one to the shared bathroom, another to the kitchen, and a third to the walk-through living room (hall). But if you want to make the bedrooms located further away from each other, you can vary them. Often one of the children, when he grows up, moves into the living room.

Having distributed the footage in this way, think about which rooms’ windows will go where. This will have to be done before construction begins. Since there is no sun on the north side, there may be a parents' bedroom and an entrance to the house with a corridor. The nursery can be located with west side, because in the morning the children are first at school, then at the university, and so on. All that remains is to figure out the kitchen and living room. The kitchen may well face the east, the living room will remain south, and if your house is in the south, you will need to install an air conditioner in the living room; if you live in Siberia or the north, also take into account the wind rose. It is better that constant winds are directed towards the roof slope, which reduces its windage.

Two-story house 8 by 8 - layout

If you can afford it two-storey house, each person can have their own room, and bedrooms are traditionally located on the second floor, concentrating on the first utility rooms(boiler room, wardrobe, bathroom, hallway, etc.), as well as a living room and kitchen.

The bedrooms on the second floor can be separated from each other by a dressing room (in a house with two children, two dressing rooms are in order) and part of the hall, to which a staircase will lead from the corridor of the first floor. You can make a third bedroom, and each of the children will live separately, and if grandparents arrive, someone will have to make room.

But “crowdedness” in a two-story house is a much more pleasant thing than in a one-story house. In addition, part of the area can be allocated for a terrace, at the top of which there will be a balcony, at the bottom - the entrance to the building.

Standards and additional features

In a two-story house it is much easier to comply with the standards, according to which each person must have at least 8 square meters. The optimal shape of the rooms should be such that the ratio of length and width is two to three, with a room depth of no more than six and a half meters, since beyond this natural sources poorly illuminate the room.

Many designers claim that you can “save money” on the construction of a two-story house, because the roof dimensions are the same for a one-story house or a two-story house. In addition, if the house begins to acquire extensions, this will occur due to a reduction in the area of the garden plot.

At the same time, experienced parents argue that children grow up, move away, and the big house is empty, requiring unnecessary energy consumption. It is not possible to determine who is right because each family has different circumstances.

There is always such an “intermediate” plan, such as building a one-story house 8 by 8 with an attic, the area of which will be smaller than the area of the second floor, however, it will be larger than the area of a one-story house, and a third bedroom in the attic is a very attractive solution. Alternatively, you can choose a two-story house with an attic, which in terms of volume construction work little more than the construction of a two-story house. In this case, a library, gym, and billiard room can be located in the attic. This option is discussed and decided by all family members. Maybe someone will decide that this is the place for an elite dovecote! Everyone has the right to make their dreams come true!

House with terrace

An outdoor terrace can be built without high heating costs. At the same time, the owner receives an additional room where he can relax comfortably. If desired, the terrace can be glazed and even equipped with a heating system.
