The high cost of housing in modern world makes talented people look for a way out. One of the most simple ways to build the cheapest house, of course, is to reduce its size.
Therefore, among other architectural trends, the concept of a mini-house is now being actively developed. The term "mini-house" means not only from the word small, mini is an architectural style of minimalism. This is a house in which there are no corridors, in which each room is multifunctional, in which there is a very thoughtful layout and you can reach the right thing almost without leaving your place.
Let's look at a few mini-houses (also called tiny house, little house, cabine - tiny houses, small houses, cabins) developed abroad, and then move on to the proposal from the DKMK plant
This tiny house has a cute rustic look and brings a lot of smiles to those around you.
And this mini house was assembled by an American student from old parts and junk building materials from a landfill. Nevertheless, the creation of this residential trailer with all the amenities and furniture with an area of about 16 square meters cost $ 12,000 (about 740,000 rubles at today's exchange rate).
In this house, only fifteen square meters of space, not counting the veranda, and in fact, there are only two rooms: a tiny toilet and a combined living-kitchen-dining-bedroom. Despite its modest size, it will comfortable home for a single person, a group of tourists or fishermen ... provided that it is warm.
Can such a house serve as housing for the newlyweds - here is the same house in white.
One of the most thoughtful mini houses is presented by the architectural company Dwelle. It has been worked out in several versions, from a very tiny 3x6 cabin for one or two people, to a quite comfortable large mini-house four meters wide and at least seven meters long.
This is how this wonderful mini house, set in the forest, looks like.
The main advantage of a mini house is, first of all, low price, and secondly, compactness, comfort and convenience at home. The mini-house should have communal amenities: electricity, cold and hot water, a toilet and the opportunity to wash. This distinguishes a mini house from a garden or country house.
As you understand, due to its very small size, any mini-house serves as housing either for one or two people for a long time, or for three or four, but only for a few days.
Thus, the mini house can serve as:
A typical solution for a mini-house is not only horizontal, but also vertical zoning of the room. For example, on the second mezzanine - in Russian speaking, polati - a sleeping place is taken out, and the dining-living room is located below.
First, minidom "Brigita"- house for 540 thousand in summer cottage easily becomes a home for permanent residence at a price of 695 thousand rubles. This price includes both a reliable foundation and wiring. engineering communications around the house, and finishing the walls and ceiling with plasterboard with putty seams for wallpaper. And porcelain tiles on the floor in the bathroom. And installation of a shower cabin, a sink and a toilet bowl chosen and bought by you.
An analogue of Brigitte is a slightly more budgetary domillon "Eva"
Secondly, this is a Finnish house designed by the Ryabina project, 6x6 in size, with a usable area of more than 30 square meters and costing about 960,000 rubles.
Layout of a mini house size 6x6 "Rowan"
Thirdly, you can choose the house "Alisa" with a size of 6x6 on one floor, which costs about 1 million rubles for a usable area of 48 square meters! Be honest, is it possible to buy an apartment of 48 square meters in Yekaterinburg for one million rubles?
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 collect excellent little house ik on their 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 little house it is not necessary to produce detailed documentation with many drawings. Even a simple sketch will suffice, indicating the main dimensions, communications and other design features.
Pre-think the order internal organization future small house. Will he have only one room, or will there be enough space for arranging a small kitchen and a small bathroom? At this point, be guided by your personal preferences and capabilities.
For example, many prudent owners use a very interesting trick: they raise the ceiling and equip a sleeping place in the attic. This solution allows you to significantly save usable space.
It is recommended to pay special attention to the experience of the Japanese. Even on several 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 quarters.
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 trim. 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 material.
On this floor is ready. If you wish, you can additionally trim it with other material to your taste.
Linoleum is perfect for finishing the floor.
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 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.
On this wall decoration is ready. After that, it is recommended to start arranging the ceiling and make the porch to your taste. These activities are best done before the start of the arrangement of the roof structure.
Furnish and technical equipment of a small house, do it to your taste.
On the attic you can lay boards. At this point, focus on the specifics of your particular situation, taking into account exactly how you will use your attic.
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.
The gas convector must be equipped with a chimney. The chimney is carefully insulated to prevent fires. To protect the chimney from snow, rain and various debris, install a special protective visor on its street end.
