Modern economic conditions often confuse those who want to acquire their own square meters: the cost of apartments in new buildings in most cases is similar to the cost of individual small houses. Of course, not everyone wants to get involved in individual construction, but those who decide to take this step will definitely never regret what they did.
Optimal solution
For those who want to save both money and space on the site, there is a worthy option - a house 6 by 6, two-story. Its layout can be done as efficiently as possible, because there will be enough space for living.
These dimensions are not taken from the ceiling: it is these parameters that can create an optimal and sufficient area for an average family to live. If the internal breakdown of the premises is carried out effectively, the usable space can be used in full - up to 70 m2. At the same time, the house is 6 by 6 two-story, the layout of which takes into account the entire internal territory,will be able to accommodate more rooms than a city apartment of the same area.
What to build from?
For the construction of a house, any modern building material can be used: foam block (gas block), timber, log, frame system filled with sandwich panels. The choice depends on personal preferences and financial capabilities of the developer.
In addition to wishes, the choice of material is influenced by the purpose of the house. If it is not intended for year-round use (country), massive wall structures should not be used to preserve heat, and, conversely, heating devices and appropriate communication systems should be provided for permanent residence. From any of the materials listed above, you can build both a summer house and a capital house. Next, consider the pros and cons of popular options.
Stone castle
The most common material for building a house is lightweight concrete in the form of gas and foam blocks. No wonder, because it is durable, extremely safe and efficient in operation:
- high noise isolation;
- thermal insulation;
- material does not burn;
- resistant to temperature extremes.
In addition, its installation is quick and relatively economical. The house 6 by 6 is two-story, the layout of the foam blocks of which is quite simple, being built in a short period of time - from 2 weeks to a month. Such material allows you to create and equip your own cornerin the shortest possible time.
An economical foundation can also be attributed to the pluses: for a small house there is no need to install a massive foundation, a shallowly buried tape one is enough. This one is quickly assembled, requires minimal material costs, and quickly becomes suitable for further construction based on it.
The disadvantages include the need to finish all walls without exception: bare concrete looks unpresentable. This is where the shortcomings, perhaps, end.
The 6 x 6 two-story block house, which was designed by a professional engineer, is shown in the photo below.
As you can see, the space is used very efficiently.
Give you a choice of natural materials
Wood is the most environmentally friendly raw material for the construction of residential buildings: it is completely natural, does not create uncomfortable living conditions, does not emit hazardous substances. Its weaknesses are low resistance to burning and decay, as well as to the effects of parasites and microorganisms. However, these problems are minimized thanks to modern processing technologies: impregnation with chemical compounds, industrial drying, installation features.
Wooden materials are divided into several groups:
- rounded log;
- glued/solid timber;
- components of sandwich panels.
The most common and popular is a wooden house 6 by 6 two-story. Timber planning is economical in terms offinancial costs and installation. The construction of the building is quick and easy thanks to the tongue-and-groove system for connecting fragments.
The foundation for such a structure can be used the cheapest - columnar or pile-screw, since the weight of the house is small, and a solid foundation is not required.
How to make a compact layout
Creating a project is an important stage of work that determines the entire construction process. Entrust it to professionals or do it yourself - the choice of everyone. Of course, architects will complete the task as efficiently and quickly as possible, but it costs money. For those who want to save money, consider a way to create a 6 by 6 two-story house, the layout of which will be compact.
- On a sheet of paper, create a diagram-drawing in compliance with proportions for ease of measurement. First of all, designate the perimeter, the location of the roads.
- Determine the desired number of rooms. To save space, you can combine a kitchen with a living room, a bathroom with a toilet, pantries can either be moved to the street, or their area can be reduced to a minimum.
- Design the location of the rooms in accordance with the proportions, indicate their sizes.
- Determine the design and configuration of the roof, the location of doors and windows.
What is first of all taken into account when a 6 by 6 two-story house is being built? Layout. The photo below clearly shows one of the optimal construction options (the lower tier is enlarged).
Scheme data is quitecan be used as working materials for the construction team. But for documentary registration of the house, you still have to draw up a project with dignity.
As you can see, it is not difficult to create a 6 by 6 two-story house. A block or wood layout should take into account the interior space so that it is not wasted.
How much?
Since we are talking about savings, we need to highlight the financial side of the issue. A small house made of turnkey timber can be delivered on average for 400-500 thousand rubles. It all depends on the layout, wall thickness and other options. A block cottage 6x6 meters will cost 1-1.5 million rubles. Obviously, these prices for residential premises with an area of 65-70 m2 are significantly lower than the cost of the same spaces in multi-apartment residential buildings. Of course, this does not include the purchase of land. But if you look, then the total costs for your corner, separate or in a residential complex, are approximately the same. Therefore, to each his own.
