Shed roof for a one-story house. Cottage with a shed roof: photo options. Advantages and disadvantages of cottages with a pitched roof

If you want to build an extraordinary, unlike the neighbor's house, take a closer look at the houses under a pitched roof. It gives the building originality. In addition, a shed roof is the easiest to construct. So simple that it is quite possible to do it yourself.

Pros and cons

Shed roofs are considered the most inexpensive and easy to install. And this is true, especially with a small width of the building. However, in our country, houses with shed roofs are very rare. For the most part, this is due to the fact that the two or four of us are more accustomed to pitched roofs- they look more familiar. The second challenge is to find a project adapted to our weather conditions. There are a lot of projects on Western resources, but they are designed for a milder climate, as a rule, they have a large glass area. Finding an architect who will competently change the project you like is very difficult. But if you still succeed, and at the same time the harmony of the building is not disturbed, the house turns out to be very original.

Many are afraid of uneven ceilings in some part of the building. Of course, they are more difficult to beat than the standard ones, but the result is of a completely different level - 100% original. True, this time it is very difficult to find a designer who can design such an interior in the vastness of our Motherland, however, it is possible.

There is another way out - to level the ceilings by overlapping, and use the free space under the roof as technical rooms. Implemented and such options and the owners are very satisfied. Yes, the technical rooms are on the ground floor, but upstairs, but there are no problems with groundwater.

These are, perhaps, all the disadvantages or pitfalls that a shed roof can bring. There is, however, one more point that can hardly be called a disadvantage. Due to the peculiarity of the structure, the roofing material on such houses is not visible from the ground. If the terrain is flat, without large elevation changes, there is no point in bothering with the appearance of the roof. It is better to choose simple-looking, but quality materials, quiet (the plane is large, it makes a lot of noise in the rain) and reliable. One of the popular options is seam roofing. It provides the proper degree of tightness, not very noisy. Another option is from modern materials. Such roofs are even quieter, and modern materials can be used for 20-30 years without repair.

Shed roof device

Organize the required slope of the shed roof due to the difference in heights of opposite walls. One wall of the building is much higher than the other. This leads to an increased consumption of wall materials, but rafter system it turns out very simple, especially for buildings of small width.

With sufficient bearing capacity of the walls, the truss system of a pitched roof rests on a Mauerlat attached to the wall. To make the load distribution more uniform, the upper row of masonry walls is reinforced with longitudinal reinforcement (for brick walls, made of concrete blocks) or an armored belt is poured over the last row (for walls made of limestone, shell rock). In the case of wood or frame structure the role of the Mauerlat is usually performed by the last crown or upper harness.

With insufficient strength building material walls most loads can be transferred to the floor. To do this, install racks (step - about 1 meter), on which runs are laid - long bars running along the building. Then the rafter legs rest on them.

When pouring the armored belt or laying the last row, studs are installed in it, with a step of 80-100 cm, with the help of which the Mauerlat is then attached to the walls of the building. AT wooden houses, if you do not make an armored belt, it is impossible to lay studs. In this case, installation on pins with a hexagonal head is allowed. Under the pin, a hole is drilled through the Mauerlat, a couple of millimeters smaller than the diameter of the pin. A metal rod is hammered into it, which attracts wooden beam to Wall. The connection is tightened with a hex wrench of the required size.

Shed roof truss system

Such roofs are especially popular in the construction of courtyard buildings - sheds, garages. It's just that the dimensions of the buildings allow the use of not very powerful beams, and the beams are required in a small amount. With a building width of up to 6 meters, the shed roof truss system contains almost no additional reinforcing elements (props and girders), which is beneficial. Also attracted by the absence of complex knots.

For Middle lane For a span of up to 5.5 meters, Russia takes beams of 50-150 mm, up to 4 meters 50-100 mm is enough, although in a good way, you need to consider the snow and wind load specifically in your region, and, based on this, determine the parameters of the beams .

With a distance between the walls of up to 4.5 meters, a shed roof consists of two Mauerlat bars fixed on the walls and rafter legs that rest on the Mauerlat. A very simple design indeed.

With a span width of 4.5 meters to 6 meters, another bed is required, fixed on a higher wall at the level of the ceiling and a rafter leg, which rests against the beam almost in the middle. The slope angle of this beam depends on the distance between the walls and the level of installation of the bed.

More complex truss systems in a shed roof with a building width of more than 6 meters. In this case, it is optimal if the house is designed in such a way that there is also a load-bearing wall inside, on which the racks rest. With a house width of up to 12 meters, the trusses are still simple, and the cost of roofing is minimal.

For buildings with a width of more than 12 meters, the system becomes more complicated - there are more rafter legs. In addition, the manufacture of beams longer than 6 meters is expensive. If an increase is required only by the width of the roof overhangs, the beams are grown along the edges with fillies. These are pieces of beams of the same section, connected to the beam and fixed on the sides with two wooden plates at least 60 cm long, fastened with bolts or nails, allow the use of mounting plates.

If the total length of the beam is more than 8 meters, they are usually spliced. The joints are additionally reinforced by nailing boards or mounting plates.

Options for attaching rafters to the Mauerlat: sliding glory at the top and hard at the top right. Bottom right tie-in option without overhangs (very rarely used)

There may still be questions about how to attach the rafters of shed roofs to the Mauerlat. There are no fundamental differences. Everything is also in rafter leg make a cutout with which the timber rests against the Mauerlat. In order not to suffer with each rafter leg, aligning its fit, sawing the first one, make a template from a piece of board, thick plywood or timber, exactly repeating the resulting “drank”. All subsequent rafters are cut down before installation. A template is applied to them in the right place, a notch of the required shape and size is circled and cut out.

This was about the rigid fastening of the rafter legs to the Mauerlat. It is used on all buildings that have low shrinkage. On wooden houses, this method of fastening cannot be used - the house settles all the time or rises slightly, which may cause a skew. If the roof is fixed rigidly, it may tear. Therefore, when constructing a shed or any other roof on wooden houses, a sliding connection of rafters and Mauerlat is used. For this there are so-called "sliders". These are plates, a state of corners that are attached to the Mauerlat and metal strips movably connected to them, which are attached to the rafter leg. There are two such slippers on each rafter.

The choice of the angle of the roof

The angle of the roof slope is determined by a combination of indicators - wind and snow loads and the type of roofing material. First, they are determined with an angle according to climatic conditions (depending on the amount of precipitation and wind loads). After looking at the minimum recommended slope for the selected type of roofing material (in the table below).

If the desired angle is larger, everything is fine, if it is smaller (which happens very rarely), increase it to the recommended one. Make a roof with an angle less than the minimum angle recommended by the manufacturer roofing, it’s not worth it unambiguously - it will flow at the joints. To make it easier to navigate, let's say that for Central Russia the recommended slope of a shed roof is 20 °. But it is desirable to count the figure for each region, and even for a different location of the building on the site.

By the way, keep in mind that different manufacturers of the same type of roofing material may require a different minimum slope. For example, one brand can be produced on a roof with a minimum slope of 14 °, the other - at 16 °. And this despite the fact that GOST defines a minimum slope of 6 °.

It is also worth remembering that with a slope of up to 12 °, in order to ensure the tightness of any roofing material, it is necessary to coat all the joints of the material with a liquid waterproofing composition (usually bituminous mastic, less often roofing sealant).

Determine the height to which you want to raise the wall

To ensure the found angle of slope of a shed roof, it is necessary to raise one of the walls higher. How much higher we learn, remembering the formulas for calculating a right triangle. From them we find the length of the rafter legs.

When calculating, do not forget that the length is obtained without taking into account overhangs, and they are needed to protect the walls of the house from precipitation. The minimum overhang is 20 cm. But with such a small protrusion outside the building, the shed roof looks sparse. Therefore, overhangs of at least 60 cm are usually made on one-story buildings. On two-story buildings, they can be up to 120 cm. In this case, the width of the overhang is determined based on aesthetic considerations - the roof should look harmonious.

The easiest way to determine how much you need to extend the roof is in design programs that allow you to draw a building on a scale and “play around” with overhangs. Everything should be displayed in 3 dimensions (the most popular program is ScratchUp). Twist different sizes of overhangs in it, decide which one looks better (this is if there is no project), and then order / make rafters.

Photo report from the construction site: shed roof on a house made of aerated concrete

A house was built in St. Petersburg. There was no project, there was a general idea, which is presented in the photo. Aerated concrete house finishing- plaster, roof - seam is chosen based on low cost, reliability, ease of installation.

After the walls were driven out, an armored belt was poured into them, in which studs (Ø 10 mm) were installed every meter. When the concrete in the armored belt reached the required depravity, a layer of waterproofing (Gidroizol, cut lengthwise into strips of the required width) was laid on the bituminous mastic. A Mauerlat is laid on top of the waterproofing - a beam of 150-150 mm. All lumber used for roofing is dry, processed protective impregnations, flame retardants.

The beginning of the installation of a shed roof - laying the Mauerlat

It is first put in place (it lies on studs, held by assistants), they pass along, knocking with a hammer on the places where the studs are. The places where the studs stick out are imprinted in the beam. Now drill holes and just put it on the studs.

Since the span is large, supports made of timber (150-150 mm) were installed, on which a run was laid that will support the rafter legs.

The width of the roof is 12 meters. This is taking into account the removal of 1.2 meters from the front side. Therefore, the Mauerlat bars and the run “stick out” beyond the walls for just such a distance.

At first there were doubts about such a large offset - the rightmost beam hangs 2.2 meters. If this offset is reduced, it will be bad for the walls, and appearance get worse. Therefore, it was decided to leave everything as it is.

Laying rafters

The rafters are laid from two spliced boards 200 * 50 mm, with a step of 580 mm. Boards are knocked down with nails, in a checkerboard pattern (top-bottom), with a step of 200-250 mm. Nail heads on the right, then on the left, in pairs Two on the top / bottom on the right, two on the top / bottom on the left, etc.). We spread the splicing points of the boards by less than 60 cm. The resulting beam is much more reliable than a similar solid beam.

Further, the shed roof pie for this case is as follows (from the side of the attic - to the street): vapor barrier, stone wool 200 mm, ventilation gap (batten, counter-batten), moisture insulation, roofing material. In this case, it is a dark gray pural.

We will carry out insulation from the inside later, but for now, we are laying a hydro-wind-protective membrane "Tyvek Solid" (vapor-permeable) on top of the rafters.

The membrane is laid from the bottom up, fastened with staples from a stapler. The canvas that rolls out higher goes onto the one already laid by 15-20 cm. The joint is glued with a double-sided tape (bought together with the membrane). Then, strips are stuffed over the membrane, on them - a crate for a folded roof.

First, a crate was made from a board 25 * 150 mm in increments of 150 mm. After laying, walking along the roof, it was decided to strengthen the crate. To do this, between the already laid boards we fill the boards with a width of 100 mm. Now there is a gap of 25 mm between the boards.

Shed roof sheathing as a result

Further, on the lower pediment, hooks were stuffed for. They are packed unevenly, because due to the large length of the pediment, it was decided to make two receiving funnels at a distance of 2.8 meters from the edge. To ensure flow in two directions, such a relief was made.

Next, you need to bring in pieces of metal (paintings) 12 meters long. They are not heavy, but you can’t bend them, because the “sled” disappears. For lifting, a temporary "bridge" was built connecting the ground and the roof. Sheets were lifted along it.

Next comes roofing work, which differs depending on the type of roofing material. In this case, it was necessary to solve the problem of thermal expansion of the material - galvanized steel (pural) significantly changes its dimensions when heated / cooled. To ensure freedom of expansion, it was decided to fasten the material to the crate behind the seam with movable clamps with a freedom of movement of 15-20 mm.

After laying the roofing material, the filing of the overhangs remains, and they are no different.

The roof needs to be brought “to mind” - to hem the overhangs, but, basically, it is already ready

Well, in the photo below is what happened after finishing. Very modern, stylish and unusual.

Projects and photos of houses with a pitched roof

As already mentioned, it is difficult to find interesting projects for residential buildings with a pitched roof. So far, these buildings are not popular with us. Perhaps just because of its eccentricity. This section contains several projects or photos of already built houses. Maybe someone will be useful at least as an idea.

Large windows - beautiful, but irrational in our climate

Multi-level house - an interesting completed project

This is the prototype of the one above.

Original house. Under one shed roof and a house and household buildings, and even part - a canopy over the yard between two buildings

Completed projects homes with pitched roofs or multi-pitched roofs at different levels are becoming popular. Modern technologies open to designers, architects the most daring and original solutions.

Advantages of houses with shed roofs

A flat roof for private houses looks unusual for us so far. More often we see them in foreign films with actions taking place in the southern countries of the New World. Or in the south of Europe, for example, in the Balkans, where flat red tiled roofs are popular. For us, the reason for the low popularity lies in a more severe climate. Thick snow cover requires a solid roof and conditions for sliding snow crust, which has not reached a large mass.

For these reasons, a shed roof is not used as often as a traditional gable or hipped roof.

However, the benefits of using shed roofs are undeniable, and therefore the number of customers is gradually increasing. The list of advantages of this solution is convincing:

The disadvantages of a shed roof are obvious only with unsuccessful design, construction and relate to the appearance, the danger of overload from snow cover and the need for high-quality waterproofing.

Options for design solutions for houses with a pitched roof

Currently, design and construction companies offer different variants use of shed roofs or roofs with several slopes located at different levels and in different planes. It is safe to say that in this variety it is always possible to find a solution that will suit the most demanding customer.

When designing houses of this type, some technical and regulatory aspects should be analyzed. Unlike houses with a gable roof, the wind resistance of a single-slope version is higher. However, if the designers propose a continuation of the roof in the form of a canopy over the veranda or over the parking lot, then such a solution requires careful calculations. The additional open roof area dramatically increases windage and can cause damage. Therefore, it is important to provide additional mounts in the form of reinforced racks or additional beams.

Project of a house with a pitched roof

Houses with a single shed roof are usually medium in size and small in area. In their design, attention should be paid to the rational use usable space. Due to the uneven height of the ceilings, the highest rooms should be reserved for common rooms and living rooms. Under the bedrooms and auxiliary rooms, rooms with lower ceilings can be allocated.

For example, let's take a project country house, originally inscribed in the surrounding landscape. Such a house is a harmonious and practical solution. A single wooden roof over the entire interior space of the dwelling gives it a natural, natural look.

Large roof overhangs do not pose a risk of collapse, as the surrounding trees reliably protect the house from the wind

Practicality when using different heights of rooms is brought here almost to the ideal. Staircase, terrace and large windows on the side of the slope provide additional visibility, and also leave space for the hallway and utility compartments under the top of the roof. The reliability of the roof fastening is given by additional jet supports. Warmth, comfort and a dream come true emanates from such a house.

The design of this log house in nature is unpretentious, but very harmonious. An ideal place for family holidays, fishing and hunting. And not only in summer time, since a house made of timber can be heated quite quickly in winter, turning it into a warm, cozy place for spending leisure time. The shed roof provides the possibility of arranging additional camping beds. A terrace and a summer playground can become a comfortable place for relatives and friends without any special expenses. A canopy or tent will quickly turn it into a comfortable camp for the night.

Houses from ordinary logs are traditionally built with a gable roof. However, now there are cases when the variant of a pitched roof is also used.

Projects of houses with a shed roof and a garage

A shed roof with its inherent lack of incompleteness is radically transformed in a solution with several slopes at different levels. Separate blocks of the house, garage or terrace perfectly balance the appearance, giving it a finished and harmonious look. At the same time, all the practical advantages of a shed roof are retained.

In such a composition, the room under the garage fits well. This is especially true when there is a separate passage from the house to it. For dynamic people who value every minute, this advantage is undeniable.

The original result when designing houses based on shed roofs is achieved if the dwelling is divided into separate blocks. Each such block can have its own shed roof, but their direction can be very different. Architects design original variants such structures, each of which carries its own individuality. For northern regions the slope of the roof should provide a guaranteed melting of the snow cover without the accumulation of a large mass on the surface.
The originality of such a project is achieved due to the multidirectional planes of shed roofs.

Country house with pitched roof

Country house with a pitched roof, it is convenient to build on a sloping site. At the same time, the natural slope can be practically used to reduce costs by fitting part of the living space into the existing terrain. Such a "dugout" for utility rooms is practically useful: cool in summer, warm in winter. A large terrace with glass walls offers a good view of the open part of the landscape.

In the part of the house, located on the slope, utility rooms are successfully located, in which a comfortable climate is always created.

Sloped roofs on non-residential buildings and structures

The sloping roof is gradually becoming familiar to the buildings of the for various purposes from summer country houses for seasonal living different kind outbuildings. This roof design is well suited for the installation and maintenance of elements. solar panels. The high cost of energy and its scarcity makes any alternative energy supply solutions a priority. This is one of the reasons why many people cannot afford living in green areas due to the high cost of heating.

Greenhouse project with polycarbonate shed roof

A sloping shed roof for a greenhouse is a good solution for minimizing the cash costs for its construction. Since such structures are often made on their own, it is recommended that they be properly designed in terms of strength and economy. Excessive requirements for strength can lead to an unjustified increase in the cost of the object. At the same time, insufficient strength can cause destruction from the wind or from the load of the snow cover.

At correct calculation height and slope of the roof of the greenhouse, snow can be easily removed from it

Shed projects with a shed roof (3x6, 4x6)

The most common use of shed roofs in the construction of various outbuildings, sheds, poultry houses. When using a log for the construction of a barn, the construction of a powerful foundation is not required, given the low weight of the tree. Relevant is the issue of ensuring tightness in order to exclude the penetration of rodents. To do this, the joints of the walls and the roof must be connected with minimal gaps, and deepened masonry made of special bricks can be used as a foundation.

Sheds made of blocks with a shed roof are equipped with strong beams to prevent wind damage. Fastening to such beams allows you to evenly distribute the load on the walls.

For outbuildings, the use of pitched roofs is the most common option.

Design features of shed roofs

The design of houses with a shed roof has a number of technical and architectural features. If you take them into account correctly, the result will be of high quality. It is also important to follow all the necessary rules for the operation of the roof. Here are some of these features and rules:

Must be carefully designed exterior finish at home. Here, for sure, you will need the participation of an experienced designer, architect. The flat roof eliminates many finishes that are acceptable for gable roof.
When designing a roof, it is necessary to provide high-quality waterproofing, since the vulnerability and tendency to leaks in flat roof much higher. For example, the need to periodically clean the roof of snow mechanically can easily damage the outer protective layer of the roof, and therefore durable materials should be used.
During the construction of the roof, the participation of professional roofers is also necessary in order to exclude defects or deviations from building codes.
It is necessary to regularly monitor the condition of the roof, since the timely elimination of defects will significantly reduce the cost of maintaining the house.

When designing shed roofs, the initial data for calculations are the following information:

Technical task for design. It could be traditional normative document or design project, sketch, drawing.
Data on the maximum load from snow cover.
Planned angle of the roof.
Material bearing walls.
Limit loads on walls.
Data on the predominant wind direction.
Room layout.
Foundation construction.
The total budget of the facility.

by the most important point when designing a shed roof is the choice of the rafter system. The type of roof trusses and the number of spacer elements is determined by the distance between the walls of the house.

The design of the truss system is determined by the span of the building

Any roofing material can be used as a shed roof covering. Appropriate changes are made to the roof structure depending on the planned coverage. This applies to the scheme of the crate, the dimensions and strength of the materials used.

Shed roofs, roofs with several slopes at different levels, sheds open up many rational options when designing a home. Modern durable materials allow you to implement the most original design solutions. These and other factors make it possible to increase the number of developers who have chosen shed roofs.

Realized projects of houses with single-pitched roofs or roofs with several slopes at different levels are becoming popular. Modern technologies open the most daring and original solutions to designers and architects.

Shed roofs are considered the simplest design. Many have heard about their shortcomings, so they decide to build more complex models. Projects of houses with a shed roof will surely inspire with their extraordinary appearance. The main thing is to do everything with high quality and taste.

To understand whether such a roof is suitable, it is worth weighing its advantages and disadvantages.

Main advantages:

due to the simple design, it will take less material and the craftsmen will be able to quickly assemble it;

The roof is flat, but it is also shed

this type of roof is beneficial for regions in which strong winds often blow;
just take care of her. And it is easier to repair it, especially if the angle of inclination of the slope is not very large;

precipitation will go in one direction, so you do not have to equip storm systems around the perimeter of the building. However, due to the increased load, you will also have to buy parts for the drain;
such roofs are in demand because they can be installed in energy-efficient smart homes;
you can design an attic with large windows (see examples at the link).

Attic under a shed roof - there is very little space left at the bottom of the slope

There are few disadvantages:

It is not always possible to give a suitable slope for rainfall, which is why water lingers on the roofing material. So that it does not get wet, they organize reinforced waterproofing;
Not quite the correct form, which is especially noticeable in buildings with an attic. Due to the decreasing slope, it is not possible to equally use the entire area of \u200b\u200ba one and a half floor;
The rafters are very long. It is necessary to accurately calculate the snow loads and select the material with sufficient reliability.

There are no critical flaws. With the correct drafting of the project and compliance with construction standards, a building with such a roof will serve no worse than others.

Attention! Design should be carried out by specialists who know about all its subtleties.

Many of us are not designers, but everyone who thinks about construction must know about the specifics of drafting projects and operating such a roof.

Timber house with pitched roof

When there is no attic in the project, and the rafter system will be the basis for the ceiling of the upper rooms, it is necessary to choose high-quality materials for roofing, waterproofing, and finishing. Otherwise, after the first leak, you will have to spend money on repairs.
It is necessary to make good thermal insulation, since a roof without a technical floor can freeze evenly over the entire area (read the article).
If the project has a roof with a small slope angle, you will need to regularly monitor its condition and repair it in time. It is necessary to provide access ways to the top so that you can manually clear the surface of snow.

The more bias, the better.

The attic floor becomes an ambiguous room. The low part of the room should be given for the installation of furniture (for example, structures with retractable storage spaces), and the rest of the walls are made at the discretion of the owners.

If the roof has a large angle of inclination, the entire front wall is open to winds and showers, so protection should be provided.

On the example of specific projects, you can consider construction technology projects and choose the best solutions.

Projects of two-story houses with a pitched roof

The roof from the first example is very similar to the gable. However, the roof slopes are not connected in one piece, so the structure is considered single-pitched. See photo below.

This is a winning solution that allows you to give an unusual appearance. For this, the slopes are made at different heights. It all looks modern - convenience and beauty without unnecessary details.

On the finished project you can see a small and covered area for a car, which you can refuse. The roof of the building consists of three parts located at different levels.

Project specifications:

total area - 111.1 m 2;
living area - 54.63 m 2;
the foundation is made of brick. External walls can be built of brick or aerated concrete at the request of the customer. The ceilings are also monolithic reinforced concrete. Roofing material - natural and bituminous tiles;
insulation with mineral wool;
the exterior is made of decorative plaster and wooden or WPC lining.

Internal organization

The layout is as follows:

The size of the building box is 9x11.95 meters. The width is taken taking into account the parking space.
The entrance to the house is through an open porch-terrace with an area of 5.22 square meters.
There is a large wardrobe in the hall. Next is the staircase and the entrances to the bathroom and the kitchen-living room (the drawings of the stairs are presented in the article).
The cooking and eating area is combined with a spacious living room. Those who do not like this approach can install a partition here and put doors. The smell of cooking food and the heat from the stove will spread throughout the house, which does not suit everyone.
The bathroom is L-shaped. Downstairs there is a shower cubicle.
Next comes the passage to the technical room, where the heating boiler is installed. Here is the back door from the house.

Of the features worth noting is the fireplace (see link) in the living room. A large panoramic window immediately provides natural light.

Second floor layout:

The stairs to the second floor lead to a small corridor, from which 4 doors lead on the sides.
The first is in the main bathroom. It is almost twice as large as the one on the ground floor. There is enough space to install a full-fledged corner bath. The room has a window, which is located exactly above the canopy above the entrance.
The remaining doors lead to the bedrooms, although the rooms can be used for other purposes, for example, to make an office in one of them. One of the rooms has a modest area of 8.39 squares. It is enough for one person, you can make, for example, a nursery.
The most large bedroom in size is almost 18 squares, in addition, it is connected to the wardrobe. Definitely, this room will be used by parents.
The third living room is also small - 11.82 m 2, but even here there is enough space to install a double bed.

This house is perfect for a family of 4-5 people. There is not much space, there is a narrow corridor, but the convenient location of the bathrooms compensates for this moment.

Someone may not like that the ceilings of all living quarters will be sloping, but this is a feature of houses with an attic.

The project of a one-story frame house

The second project is a one-story house with a pitched roof. The structure is universal, since it can be built from different materials(SIP panels, in the form of a frame sheathed with boards, various blocks, for example, aerated concrete).

Such a house can be used both for temporary residence, for example, a summer residence, and for permanent residence, if the construction budget is small. This is a mini-cottage of a simple design, which is easy to build.

Read on our website:

Project one-story house with single slope roof

Technical characteristics of the building:

the total area, not counting the covered terrace - 60 squares. Residential - 58. Everything in the house is only the most necessary, so there is a minimal difference between the areas;
dimensions of the building box - 12 * 5 meters. With such a length, the interior space can be divided into more rooms;
The structure is elongated and narrow. This will allow him to fit in the same area. It is also worth considering that all rooms will be adjacent;
the construction technology used is modular or frame, although cellular blocks are perfect.

Internal layout

The entrance to the building is located in the center, but not exactly, but with a slight offset so that the main bedroom can be made larger. Thanks to this position of the door, one central room appeared, from which you can go to different parts of the house without making them completely adjacent.

After the entrance, I will splice a kitchen-living room with an area of 21.78 m 2. The main part of this room is reserved for the dining area, although you can arrange the furniture differently.

Two passages were made in the side walls. Leaving to the right, you can get into the bedroom and the plumbing unit. From the living room there is a passage to a fairly spacious dressing room.

Technologies for building houses with a pitched roof

Such houses can be built from different materials, using appropriate installation technologies. However, frame structures stand apart.

You can hardly meet them in Russia, since our man loves everything solid, but in Europe there is a real boom for such buildings. Surprisingly, they are used mainly in the northern regions of this part of the world.

Gradually, such houses find their fans in our country. The main reason is the low cost of construction, although it is not so much different from the same block structures.

But if we compare the speed of construction and finishing, then the carcasses have no equal in this. An experienced team will deliver the house in 1-2 months, or maybe faster if modern technologies are used.

presented in the article.

A frame house made of wooden bricks is assembled incredibly quickly

Types of frame buildings

There are two types of frame buildings (we do not take frame-panel into account, since this technology is used mainly for the construction of high-rise buildings):

Frame-sheathing

It involves a separate installation of the "skeleton" of the structure, after which it is sheathed with finishing materials from the outside and inside.

From the inside, a heater is laid in the structure. Thanks to this procedure, you can freely change the size and shape of the facade.

The main difficulty is proper insulation without cold bridges (read about in the article).

Frame-panel

Such a house is assembled, like a designer, from large shields, which are multilayer panels. For residential buildings, SIP panels are used.

This material has three layers - it is covered with OSB panels on the sides, and polystyrene foam of a certain thickness is glued inside.

SIP panels have positive qualities- the construction of them takes place quickly, the structures are very warm.

In both cases, the basis for the wall material is a frame, which is assembled mainly from hardwood. There are options on steel I-beams, but this material is much more expensive, and installation requires the use of special equipment, so they are extremely rare.

Such houses are considered wooden, but they have a significant advantage - the design does not give strong shrinkage. Finishing can be done immediately, without waiting for six months or more.

Appearance frame house can be anything - a variety of materials are used for decoration. Examples in the photo gallery.

Inspired by the landscapes of Finland and the buildings harmoniously inscribed in its rocky landscape, we decided to create a project with a European vision.

hallmark Our country house has a pitched roof. Now it is difficult to say with complete certainty where this constructive solution came from, but the simplicity and functionality of such a roof makes the buildings interesting both from an architectural point of view and from a constructive one.

Advantages of a pitched roof

The most obvious positive point will be the simplicity of the design, which entails the rapid construction of a pitched roof.
The second point follows from the first - the cheapness of the roof. Square roofing materials and construction materials is reduced, the ease and simplicity of construction significantly reduce the cost of the roof.
It is impossible not to note the aesthetic component of a pitched roof. It is no accident that our northern neighbors use similar architectural solutions everywhere. People like simplicity and completeness in architecture, and not only in architecture.

These are certainly not all the advantages of a pitched roof. I think that each of you will note many more winning moments for yourself.

Now back to our project. The house is designed small in area, it is perfect for giving and garden. Let's look at the layout.

Terrace - 16 square meters in area. If desired, it can be enlarged, made open and, for example, partially glazed. Entrance hall - 4 square meters, such an area will allow you to optimally equip this space.

From the hallway there are doors to three rooms. A bathroom, I will not tire of repeating - a bathroom is necessary in a country house.

Kitchen living room to the left - 12 square meters. Optimal size for such a purpose. A large window will fill the room with light and visually add additional volume.

Finnish house layout

Bedroom in our country house also 12 meters in area. Standard size bedroom that can accommodate a large bed wardrobe and chest of drawers. In the bedroom, as we believe, there should not be extra cluttering furniture. Under ideal conditions, you can abandon the closet, placing things from it in the closet or another room.

Room implication:

A small summary: the project of a Finnish house with a shed roof is perfect for a garden and a summer residence, both seasonal and permanent residence 2-3 people. Also, during the construction, you can experiment a little with the layout, increase or decrease the kitchen, in favor of other rooms.

How much does a Finnish house cost in 2019?

The prices above are for houses built using frame-panel technology or from profiled timber and operated in summer cottage mode - the thickness of the timber is 90x140 mm or the slab insulation is 100 mm.

The timber is used only for chamber drying (not natural humidity). For capital walls, this is critical. Drying of timber is carried out in compliance with all technologies - 14 days of drying at 30-40 degrees in a soft mode. The gentle drying mode expels moisture from the center to the edges, preserving the texture of the material and preventing the occurrence of cracks.

The project can be supplemented or simplified according to climatic, aesthetic or financial needs. Below are the prices for this project in various configurations.

From profiled timber:

Log house - 460 500 rubles.
Complete set "DACHA" - 764 800 rubles.
Complete set "Permanent residence" - 969 000
Complete set "PREMIUM" - 2 160 000

Frame version:

Frame house under the roof - 480 500 rubles.
Complete set "DACHA" - 743 100 rubles.
Complete set "Permanent residence" - 922,400 rubles.
Complete set "PREMIUM" - 1,940,000 rubles.
