It is very important to competently do the zoning of the rooms so that the people living in it do not feel discomfort. This article will talk about how the layout of private houses can contribute to the creation of home comfort.
Hallway.
The first impression of the house creates, first of all, the hallway. It is very good if it has light shades and has quite large dimensions that will harmoniously arrange all the necessary furniture (cabinets for outerwear, shoe, mirror, etc. D.). If the layout of private houses provides a vestibule, it is desirable that it be clearly visible from the street. The front is connected by the premises through which the intensive movement occurs. In particular, it is a staircase that connects existing floors.
Kitchen.
Recently, the kitchen is increasingly combined with the dining room. Visually, it can be divided into two zones: for cooking (including kitchen equipment) and dining area (tables, chairs and other furniture). As a rule, the area of such kitchens is at least 110-18 m2. When planning private houses, the kitchen windows are best oriented to the northern, north-west or northeastern sides of the horizon. She should also conveniently contact the basement and garden. It is also advisable to provide for the possibility of observing such areas as entering the house, a veranda and a playground. The kitchen should have ventilation through the ventilation duct located in the wall.
General room.
The layout of private houses provides for the presence of a spacious common room (16 – 40 m2 or more), the orientation of which is recommended to be made to the southern half of the horizon (from east to west). All family members can spend free time in such a room. It can also functionally combine the living room, dining room and fireplace. Such a room is customary to make it isolated or passing. The combination of common and sleeping rooms is made at the expense of the corridor or stairs.
Bedroom.
Each family member should have its own sleeping place, but it is best to allocate a separate room for him. Depending on the number of sleeping places, the dimensions of the bedroom can be any, and its minimum area per person should be at least 8 m2, for two -at least 10 -12 m2. When planning private houses, the bedrooms should not be made passing. Given that compared to common rooms, the bedrooms have a more elongated proportion, the depth should not exceed its double width. The most optimal orientation of windows is south and east. Windows placed on the western direction can lead to overheating of the bedroom. The dimensions of the window openings can be of various dimensions, including a completely glazed wall with view of the garden. However, from the point of view of the norms, the ratio of the area of light openings with bindings of all living rooms (including kitchens) to the floor area of these premises should be at least 1: 8, and for attic floors 1:10.
Cabinet.
The cabinet is intended for training and conducting business negotiations. It is best to plan it near the external entrance and the guest (common) room. Windows are best oriented to the east or west.
Children’s.
In the process of planning private houses, the best place for placing the nursery will be a room located next to the bedrooms and a common room. If it has a slope, then the children’s room can be planned on the basement of the house with a windows orientation to the south. If the house has an attic floor, the nursery can be placed on it.
Bathroom.
Sanitary nodes are placed, as a rule, in the field of sleeping groups, kitchens and day -time rooms. If there are sleeping rooms on the second floor, then it is necessary to place a bathroom, the area of which will depend on the necessary free passages and the size of the equipment. The layout of private houses implies connection to local tap and sewer systems. If this is not possible, it is necessary to design individual systems, which will entail additional costs. The grouping of all engineering communications will not be superfluous. In the future, this will significantly save money and simplify the installation process itself.
Corridor.
The corridors are recommended not to make not too long, and their optimal width should allow two people freely diverge at a meeting, as well as contribute to free opening of the doors.
Basement.
If the layout of private houses provides for the basement, then in it you can place the workshop of the room, bathhouse or sauna, garage, pantries, boiler rooms, control unit of engineering equipment at home, etc. D. The placement of rooms implying a long -term stay in them is contraindicated.
Household premises.
Planning premises are designed to place items for cleaning, counters (electricity, gas and water), as well as for ironing and cleaning (sometimes for washing clothes and linen). The placement of household supplies should be convenient and important, hygienic. When planning private houses, the need to store not only things, but also products for which additional room is needed is taken into account. The basement is the most suitable place to store vegetables and fruits, in terms of planning private houses. For the convenience of storing fruits, it is best to place racks in long and narrow rooms. If the basement is not provided, then it is best to store vegetables and fruits in rooms located near the kitchen, which are oriented to the north. They must reliably defend themselves from rodents and have an extract from adjacent rooms, as well as have a prototype of the condensate of the condensate.
