What does it cost us to build a house? Indeed, having a team of professionals and knowledge - building a house from scratch is a matter of time! But sometimes the task is more difficult! We have introductory - an existing foundation, or buildings on the site, extensions to existing buildings and much more! For the Matsuev family, it was precisely such a difficult task. They had a foundation from an old burnt house, and a landscaped area around it! The new house had to be erected in a short time on the existing foundation. Dmitry and his family had a desire to build a new high-tech house. After careful measurements, a project was made that took into account the old layout, but had a new modern form with interesting innovations! The house has an entrance group where you can sit at a table on cozy evenings and a complex but possible exploitable roof in our lane. To implement such a roof, we called on our knowledge and modern building materials LVL beams, built-up roofing and much more to help. Now in the summer on such a roof you can arrange an unusual dinner or watch the stars at night! In the decoration, our architect also emphasized the minimalist and graphic high-tech style. Smooth stucco walls with painted planken details add personality to the wooden beams at the entrance. Inside, the house is finished with imitation timber, which is painted in different colors depending on the purpose of the room! Large windows in the living room kitchen overlooking the plot - created the desired effect of illumination and airiness of the space! The house of the Matsuev family has graced our photo gallery in the country architecture section in high-tech style, in the style chosen by bold Customers with excellent taste.

When Customers come to us with bright, modern ideas for a future home, we light up doubly! After all, working on a new stylish project is always interesting and a challenge, how to implement all the bold ideas from a constructive point of view, what materials to use? Vladimir bought a plot with picturesque views of the Oka River! Such a view could not be ignored, so a dizzying terrace (51.1 m2) and a large balcony, focused on beauty, became an indispensable attribute of the future home! Vladimir wanted to relax in nature in a wooden house, and it was necessary to build a house in a short time, and the frame construction technology became an ideal solution for such tasks! If we are different, then in everything! The house was made even more spectacular by the vertical finish with an imitation of durable larch timber, painted in natural shades with an accentuated wood texture. Complement the modern look of the house - windows with lamination! It turned out to be an excellent country house, with zest and at the same time incredibly functional.
It all started with an individual project found by the Customer's family on a European website. It was with him that she came to our office for the first time. We made preliminary calculations for the project, conducted a tour of the existing construction site, shook hands and the work began to boil! The architect improved and adapted the project to the site and the Customer's family; the foreman "planted" the house on the site. Based on the fact of geological surveys, it was decided to put the house on bored piles. The frame has grown in a few weeks, then the roof, insulation, exterior finish! During the winter, a house grew on the site. The customer invited a third-party technical supervisor who monitored the process regardless of our multi-stage control. The color scheme for painting the imitation of timber was chosen by our manager and here we have a bright and cozy dream country house of the Pushkov family!

House designs may be different, but among them there are those that are considered the best and most popular. These are brick one- and two-story buildings, houses made of timber or logs, frame buildings. Brick houses are durable and reliable, the walls provide warmth in winter and coolness in summer. Wooden buildings are comfortable and cozy. Their construction is carried out quickly enough, and the latest technologies make it possible to make the house as durable as a brick one. But, perhaps, individual house projects can be called the best. They take into account all the needs of the customer regarding the number of floors, layout and placement of rooms.
Undoubtedly, the main advantage of country houses and cottages is that they are located in a quiet and peaceful area, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. In fact, the construction of a country house can be called a real creative process, because many owners try to equip their home as modern, functional and stylish as possible. New house projects that are being developed in 2018 fully meet all the above requirements, while combining beauty, coziness and comfort.
The original project of the house with an attic
At the initial stages, you should choose a suitable place for construction and determine the required area for future development. The site should be medium in size - not big and not small. Then it is necessary to think over the conditions and terrain on which the future dwelling will be built.
There must be an opportunity, telephone installation, as well as a suitable environmentally friendly environment.
When choosing new projects of one-story houses, consider the cost of the acquired land. If it is too cheap, it is possible that the soil has some disadvantages. You can talk with your neighbors and find out the necessary information from them in order to avoid possible problems in the future.
Now finding suitable projects for future housing is not a problem. You can download it online, or you can order the creation of an individual project from specialists. Finished projects, as a rule, already provide for the presence of communication devices. Accordingly, you can save your time and money, since the creation of individual projects will cost a considerable amount.
Naturally, when choosing one or another, it is advisable to take into account the opinion of all family members, since ready-made developments have some nuances. For example, it is difficult for elderly parents to climb to the second floor, so their bedroom, ideally, should be located below.
New projects of cottages in 2017, made according to Canadian technology, warm up in the shortest possible time due to the low heat capacity of the walls. This moment will especially please people who prefer to turn off the heating in the winter, but like to relax outside the city on weekends.
Many people sometimes think about building an autonomous house. I want to live away from other people, in nature, to listen to the birds singing and the buzzing of insects, and not the noise of city streets. For people living in remote rural areas where communications are not yet laid down, a self-contained home may simply be a necessity. But it’s really expensive and not easy to build such a house, especially in the cold climate of Russia. However, it is still possible to make an autonomous house with a competent approach, using currently available technologies and taking into account Russian realities. So, what is a self-contained house?
autonomous house- this is a house that does not depend on infrastructure, external electrical and gas networks, water supply and sewerage systems, etc. The undoubted advantages of an autonomous house are a reduction in maintenance costs and a decrease in the degree of environmental impact, which corresponds to.
Minimum power consumption
First of all, in order to build an autonomous house, it is necessary to minimize energy consumption.
Electricity consumption can be reduced by:
- use of devices with energy efficiency class A+, A++;
- (although you need to know what LED lighting has);
- use ;
- heating systems with A+ pumps;
- septic tank with ultra-low consumption of electricity and / or;
- ventilation systems with heat recovery.
The concept of passive was proposed in Germany as early as 1988. In accordance with it, an indicator of the energy efficiency of a house is the loss of thermal energy in kilowatt-hours per square meter per year (kWh / m²). According to the standard, a house is considered passive if its heat loss is below 40 kWh/m² per year, in European countries this figure is limited to 15 kWh/m² per year. On average, the heat loss of an ordinary brick house is 250-350 kWh/m² per year. A passive house must be very well insulated. Effective thermal insulation of walls, floors, ceilings, attic, basement and foundation should be provided. The walls should not "breathe", forced ventilation should work to create a good atmosphere in the house. The ventilation system in the passive house should be provided with recuperation, however, in Russian conditions, this system often requires too much energy due to moisture condensation. Therefore, it is necessary to choose energy-efficient equipment for these purposes.
In accordance with the principles of the passive house, the windows should face south and are made very large. The requirement for large windows is not very suitable for Russian climatic conditions. In winter, more heat is lost through large windows in colder climates than is gained. When designing a house, a balance must be found between maximizing daylight and minimizing heat loss through the glass. I also already wrote about houses with large windows. You can, of course, use thermal shutters, but their operation requires additional energy costs.
Thus, it is not rational to use all the principles of a passive house when building an autonomous house in Russia.
In our conditions, it is reasonable to build a house
- with superheated hermetic circuit;
- a minimum of northern windows, which are better to use the usual size, but high quality,;
- in the northern part of the house it is rational to locate technical rooms;
- the ventilation system must provide for heat recovery.
Heating and hot water
Usually, energy in a house is needed for space heating and cooling, hot water supply, cooking and food cooling (stove and refrigerator), lighting, laundry and various other household purposes. In the case where all the energy in the house is obtained from electricity, in temperate or cold climates, more than 60% of the energy is used only for space heating and hot water.
Heating sources
There is not so little sun in Russia. It is quite possible to use water heat collectors as sources of heat to provide the house with hot water and heating, I wrote about them in. You can store heat in a seasonal heat storage tank of large volume.
You can use conventional wood stoves (since trees can be grown on your site, this will provide autonomy).
Heat pumps can be used, but they still require electricity to operate.
Heating type
Electric heating is irrational to use, as it leads to a large consumption of electricity. It is best to use a heat transfer fluid, water with alcohol, for example. It is safe, no toxic substances are released, as is the case with ethylene glycol. And water with alcohol freezes at a lower temperature than just water.
To heat with a low-temperature coolant (since heating the coolant to a high temperature in an autonomous house is an extra waste of resources), it is necessary to increase the heat exchange area, so it is best to use a warm floor in this case. There is an assumption that warm floors are harmful to the human immune system, that it is better to walk on a cold floor. I did not find any research on this topic, but warm floors, in fact, are not that hot, only 25-27 ° C. In summer, ordinary floors can warm up to this temperature.
Electricity supply
Again, the sun can be used as a source of electricity. However, in the central regions of Russia, additional sources of electricity are still needed, for example, a diesel generator or, if the power grid is still connected, the network. Solar energy will be able to provide the house with electricity by about 80%. The use of wind energy is also possible, but we do not have very strong winds, especially in winter, so it is difficult to obtain a large amount of energy from a wind generator.
In order to receive electricity in the evening and at night, when the sun has already set, it is necessary that the energy management system of the house has the ability to store daytime solar energy in batteries.
There are a lot of subtleties and nuances when building an autonomous house - more than when building an ordinary house. Since such a house turns out to be expensive, all materials and equipment must be durable and reliable in order to pay off with further operation.
I also recommend watching a very interesting and useful lecture on the topic of a real autonomous house in Russia by Igor Glushchenko.

Installation of solar panels. For those country houses and houses that do not have an electrical network, solar panels can serve as a good source of electricity. The specialist will demonstrate the installation of an autonomous power supply system on the facade of the building and the connection of cable lines.
Heat pumps. Heat pumps have been around for over 100 years. This is a rather original decision to take energy from the earth and multiply it. Supplying gas is a serious problem, and it takes too much money to heat a home with electricity, so it is worth considering and considering this option.
Alternative heating. Complex of systems. The topic of using alternative energy is becoming more and more relevant every year in the world, even in apartment buildings. For many Russians, this issue is especially relevant. In this story, we will consider an unusual complex consisting of several sources of alternative energy, such as a solar collector and an air pump. We are also considering the option of connecting a heat pump.
Autonomous sewerage. Features of choice. Thinking about the drainage of sewage on the site, it is worth taking a closer look at the market and taking a closer look at modern treatment facilities. Autonomous sewerage is perhaps the most popular option, but it is important to choose the right installation.
Installing an inverter for the boiler. In this story, we will tell you about the pressing problem of every owner of a private house: uninterrupted power supply to the boiler and other heating equipment. In order to prevent a breakdown with electricity, you need to install an inverter or an uninterruptible power supply. How to choose it, choose a battery, install it correctly and what conditions to provide - we will tell you in order.
Generators: selection, features of operation and maintenance. A generator is an engine that converts its energy into electricity. It is often used in construction "in the field", as well as in those country houses where there are problems with constant electricity. Let's talk about how to choose the right generator and how to use it.
