The original designs of houses from the log

Design of houses from a felling today gained great popularity in cottage construction. This may be a small house or a spacious building with an attic and a veranda. A variety of projects can significantly increase the design possibilities, however, such structures have a number of their features, which is caused by different types of logs.

A log house is a box of logs that does not have a floor, roof, and enclosing ceilings. All this is completed separately. The shape of the log-house box is often rectangular, the walls of wood are distinguished by reliable fastening. The tree is an eco-friendly material, so a favorable microclimate will be maintained inside the building, which is especially important for allergy sufferers and children.However, for the durability of wood, it will have to be treated with antiseptic, water-repellent and refractory impregnations.

It takes a little time to build a log house. A box can be assembled in about 20 days. In this case, the project can be implemented independently, without resorting to the help of the construction team. Sometimes the walls do not require additional decoration inside, which creates the desired flavor of the interior and allows you to save on sheathing finishing materials. Those who are strained by the abundance of the array inside and outside, have to carefully consider the design of the building so that it does not look like a big wooden box.

The disadvantage of some types of raw materials is to reduce the diameter to the top, which complicates the coupling of the crowns. In addition, you have to perform caulk to reduce heat loss. Another feature of the base material is its shrinkage, which takes place in 2 stages.: active (up to a year) and passive (the rest of the time, while the house is standing). Until the box settles, you can not finish inside. This can lead to cracking and crumbling of facing materials.

The five-wall is a special construction of the log house.This box has a fifth bearing wall in addition to the standard four. In addition to the four-wall and five-wall layout, it can be six-layered. At the same time six-wall has 2 transverse walls and one longitudinal, covered with a roof. In such houses the place is not only for the main premises, but also for household needs.

Low and wide are recognized today as the best gables (tops of a triangular or semicircular form)., because they are more durable and are more resistant to stress. In the houses they perform the functions of a carrier wall for an attic or an attic. They differ in size and materials of manufacture. Usually they are made of planks, logs, timber. If the building provides for the operation of the attic, low options will limit its comfort.

Today for the construction of such houses use several types of raw materials. These include chopped, rounded log, massive and glued laminated timber. Each type of array has its own characteristics.

For example, chopped logs are harvested by hand, choosing more even and high-quality trunks of spruce, pine, larch.After removing the bark, they can be subjected to additional grinding. They are particularly durable, have a wide range of bore diameter.

When necessary, square or rectangular cross-section, sawed massive timber. It is convenient in comparison with previous logs, since it is easier and more convenient to assemble such a box. However, pruning wood leads to a reduction in service life and the mandatory need to impregnate wood from rotting, insects and rodents. In addition, such a tree may shrink or deform during the drying process.

Glued laminated timber is produced by sawing logs on the slats, after which they are glued together to produce a material with a square or rectangular cross section. Such material is durable, its shrinkage and deformation during the drying process are minimal. It is not subject to rotting. The disadvantage of raw materials is its cost, which makes it necessary to turn to more acceptable options for logging material.

For the construction of buildings with thick walls used non-cylindrical log. Chopped logs retain their natural characteristics to the maximum. They are more resistant to moisture, the center of their trunks is not shifted, these are raw materials with a lower degree of susceptibility to cracking. These logs allow you to convey the aesthetics of Russian antiquity.

Design implies taking into account the required footage for specific needs. It is created before purchasing the necessary material, using a special designer program or drawing a sketchy sketch. The figure shows the footage of each room, its size, the location of window and door openings, communication systems, as well as the placement of furniture.

The bathroom has to accommodate a bathroom, toilet, sometimes a shower. At the same time, there should be a place for freedom of movement. Doors must not prevent users from entering. The project also reflects the height of the ceiling. A visual design project will allow you to understand what exactly the customer needs and how the structure will look in the landscape of the site.

Usually the standard project of the house of the log house does not include the creation of an attic. However, if desired, the customer can make changes to the architecture and add a house, even a bath or terrace. Rectangular contours contribute to a comfortable room layout. If it is provided by design, it is possible to equip the ground floor, using it under a boiler room, a hall for playing sports, billiards. On the second floor you can make a rest room, a balcony and even a bathroom.

Difficulties in planning can create limited space for the building. For example, projects 3 x 3, 3 x 4, 4 x 4, 3 by 5 m will contain only the most necessary. The smaller the usable area, the stricter the restrictions. We'll have to combine the bathroom and toilet, connect the kitchen to the living room, allocate a small room under the bedroom, or even settle down for the night in the living room.

When a large area is allocated for a building (for example, 6 x 8, 9 x 9 m), it becomes more hospitable and comfortable. So, with an area of ​​10 by 12 m, you can find a place for a terrace, lounges, baths and even a garage. At the same time, all amenities will be close by, which is especially important for a modern person.If a simple project is not designed for this, a house with a larger area can accommodate not only households, but also guests.

There are several successful examples of designing log houses.

• 6 x 4 m With an area of ​​6 x 4 m, it is possible to equip the kitchen-dining room, bedroom, bathroom, and vestibule inside the box. The project clearly demonstrates the location of windows and doors.
• 6 x 9 m. In addition to the terrace, such a house can accommodate a kitchen combined with a dining room, as well as a living room, a bathroom and 2 bedrooms. In this case, the layout of all rooms can be a hallway.

• 7 x 8 m. The original solution with a terrace and a separate entrance at the side of the house. On the first floor you can accommodate a dressing room, sauna, bathroom, hall, kitchen-dining room and a common room. The second floor can be reserved for bedrooms for all households.
• 8 x 8 m. An example of planning a house with a basement. The hospitable house has a spacious living room, through which you can get into the kitchen. Bedroom, bathroom have their own entrances. The entrance to the house passes through the terrace.

• 8 x 9 m. The layout of wooden houses of 8 to 9 meters with minor discrepancies can make a two-storey log house with a terrace, a bedroom, a bathroom, a hallway, and an open space that unites the kitchen-dining room and living room.The convenience of the project is to demonstrate the arrangement of the furniture.
• 8 x 10 m. Such a house can be a two-story. Downstairs at the same time you can place a terrace, a bathroom, a large room under the living room and kitchen combined with a dining room. Upstairs you can equip spacious bedrooms or even a billiard room.
• 10 x 10 m. The project with a successful layout of rooms in a one-story house contains 2 bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, a technical room, a vestibule, a bathroom, a bathroom, a hall and a small storage room.

Design allows you to choose the best option, since for one area you can see several sketches. For example, the same 10 x 10 m of a one-story house, depending on the enclosing structures, can accommodate a chic space for a kitchen, dining area and guest space. At the same time, the house can accommodate 1 adult and 2 children's bedrooms, as well as a bathroom and a boiler room. For the construction of buildings, you can use a cut beam 50 x 150 mm.

Project log houses look original, however, the abundance of wood is not everyone likes. Yes, and the wood itself loses expressiveness, if there is a lot of it. In order for the atmosphere inside the house to be comfortable for every household, it is necessary to reduce the number of wooden floors due to different plating. Since wood does not allow heavy materials to be used for finishing, you can resort to lightweight veneer options.

For example, walls can be decorated with clapboard, laminate, wall panels and slabs. Chimney area can be beaten with clinker. This is a unique alternative to brick and stone, however, the weight of the cladding will not create a tremendous load on the bearing walls. This material can designate a fireplace area or imitate a torn stone in the hallway or living room.

In the kitchen, the idea of ​​national traditions can be supported by highlighting the apron with wall tiles and patchwork. Look at the cooking zone will be especially, with the wood will become more expressive.To soften the hard effect of the presence in the Russian bath, created by wood, you can paint the walls or the ceiling with a light-colored water-based paint.

For wall cladding, you can use slats or panels with an imitation of different textures. This material is simple and convenient to install, does not create a weight load on the walls and is able to realistically repeat the desired texture for contrast with the tree. In this case, you can choose panels under painted wood, board, laminate, stone. This is an excellent material for the decoration of the ceiling, which often creates the effect of gravity due to beams and a complex truss system.

Often it is the lighting that draws or destroys the interior of a dwelling from a log house. It is worth noting that the presence of embossed walls inside of itself requires an easier approach to the design of the ceiling. For this reason, massive chandeliers with a lot of lampshades, crystal and forging are undesirable. All this is typical of the classical style with its solemnity to the palace solemnity, which does not fit in with the idea of ​​imitating Russian life.

It is better to choose pendant models of lamps using zoning technique. For example, it may be a central lighting and illumination of the cooking zone or dining room, bay window. So you can emphasize the uniqueness of different materials and make an unobtrusive organization in the space.
