True, there is still nowhere to spend the night there, but the owner of the house is already working on a mechanism that will transfer his house to a horizontal position suitable for sleeping at night.
The need to build a compact house may arise due to different reasons. For example, such a small design is perfect for placement in a summer cottage that is not used for permanent residence. In a small house it will be possible to change clothes comfortably, fold things and spend the night.
Of course, ready-made change houses are sold on the market, but the quality of their workmanship often leaves much to be desired, and the cost is definitely overpriced. For the same money, you can build a great little house on your own.
There is nothing difficult in self-construction of a compact structure. Follow the guide and everything will definitely work out.
Any construction must begin with planning, without which the construction will take much more time, finances and effort. There is a chance that the finished structure, built without a plan, will not meet your needs and expectations.
For a small house, it is not necessary to draw up detailed documentation with many drawings. Even a simple sketch will suffice, indicating the main dimensions, communications and other design features.

It is recommended to pay special attention to the experience of the Japanese. Even on a few square meters, they manage to place everything necessary to create a comfortable and cozy environment, because even a mini house is still a house in which it is definitely more convenient than on the street.
This guide will give instructions for building a fairly simple little house. Approximately 75% of the space will be occupied by living quarters, and the remaining space will be used for placing a pantry and dry closet.
If everything is very difficult with free space, you can make separate entrances to the mentioned premises from the street. If there are no such problems with free space, and you don’t want to constantly go outside, equip the entrance to the technical room from the living room.
Make changes to the plan if you wish. For example, instead of a pantry, you can equip a kitchenette with a table, a couple of folding chairs or small stools and a compact stove.
After the approval of the plan, proceed directly to the implementation of construction activities. Start by arranging the foundation.
For the construction of a small house, the simplest foundation of blocks is perfect. A very interesting solution came up with Western private developers. They create a foundation block with four channels. A reinforcing bar is inserted into each of these channels. The rods themselves are driven into the ground. As a result, the block is securely attached to the ground.
In the project under consideration, the foundation will consist of six such blocks. You will place four blocks at the corners of the future building, the remaining two - under the internal partition.
You can make blocks yourself from concrete or buy them ready-made.
Dig a hole 200 mm deep with sides corresponding to the dimensions of the blocks.
Fill the hole with a 20 cm layer sand and gravel mix. Pack the pillow carefully.
Install the blocks and insert the reinforcement in accordance with the recommendations given earlier.
Cover the blocks with a layer of roofing material.
Make sure that the blocks are installed evenly and proceed to the implementation of further planned activities.
Install the bottom harness. Make it from a bar with a section of 15x15 cm. To connect the strapping bars, use convenient option mounts. You can, for example, connect them using the tongue and groove method with additional reinforcement with glue and bolts.
Lay on top of the strapping a platform previously assembled from a 15x5 cm board.
Sew up the platform with plywood.
Turn the resulting box over and place the insulation in it.
Sew up the insulation with a double layer of plywood. Lay plywood 1.2 cm thick along the box, 0.9 cm thick across the box. As a result, the floor will have a thickness of 2.1 cm. Use PVA glue to fasten the plywood layers.
From all sides, sew up the platform with roofing felt.
On this floor is ready. If you wish, you can additionally trim it with other material to your taste.

Treat the timber and boards intended for the construction of walls with an antiseptic.
Assemble the frame of the planned dimensions.
Set up the top harness.
Sheathe the entire structure with plywood.
Attach the windscreen to the outside of the walls. At the same time, this material will perform the functions of waterproofing.
In the process of building walls, do not forget to leave openings for mounting doors and double-glazed windows.
The roof structure must be such that in the future, when the door is opened, the roof overhang does not touch. To comply with this rule, the slope of the roof slope must be 25 degrees.
Install rafters. To do this, use boards 10x5 cm. Use corners and self-tapping screws to fasten the boards.
Mount the roof ridge. For its manufacture, use a board 15x5 cm.
Additionally fasten the roof rafters with 10x2.5 cm puffs.
Attach 0.9 cm plywood to the rafters.
Lay your preferred roofing material over the finished base. Flexible shingles work well. This is a relatively light material with good performance properties. At the same time, the roof of a small house will have a small area, so you will not spend a lot of money on finishing material.
To create a healthy microclimate in the room, even if it is very small, you need to install windows. It is better to provide places for placing double-glazed windows even at the frame assembly stage.
To determine the optimal total window area, divide the floor area of your small house by 5. Divide the resulting value by the number of windows you need.
If you plan to equip your small house with a bathroom and a kitchen, consider in advance the order of furniture placement so that the windows do not interfere with the normal use of the house in the future, but are a useful addition.
If possible, windows should be placed facing the southeast, as there is very little sunlight on the north side, and low western sunlight is bad for the eyes.
Doors can be bought ready-made or you can make your own. It is enough to assemble the frame, fill the voids with thermal insulation (mineral wool is perfect), sheathe the frame with plywood and upholster it with the desired material.
Proceed to the exterior wall decoration.
Proceed to interior decoration.

If necessary, bring electrical wiring, sewerage and water supply into the house.
For heating a small house, both an electric heater and a gas convector are well suited. Such gas convectors use liquefied gas as fuel. To ensure the most efficient heat distribution, the system should be equipped with a galvanized steel reflector.

Many of the students have already appreciated the interesting work of the popular architect Van Bo Le Mentzel, whose house seems to be missing only one thing - a rope so that it can be carried with you when traveling. His houses look so unusual that people even come from other cities to see him live.
