Beautiful American projects of single-storey houses. Internal planning of American homes. The difference between the American interior from the Russian

we sorted out in past messages. Now let's look at the planning of American homes.

In American homes almost never meet the hallway room, or the corridor. Instead, all entrance doors lead directly to the living room or another living room. You can get into the house not only through the front door. Most often there are at least two or three entrance doors. Parade door or facade. The back door (usually glass) leads to the back courtyard. The third door is in the garage. Sometimes the door outside can be detected in an unusual place, for example, in the toilet. It is explained that it is quite simple - so that you can go from the pool to the toilet without entering the house.

When you ask an American about the size of some kind of home, you will almost always hear three parameters - the number of bedrooms, the number of san nodes, and the total area. For example, 3/2 1600 SQ. ft. This means that this is a house with three bedrooms, two-sized nodes, and about 150 square meters. m.

Private rooms

The internal space of American homes is divided into a private area, and to a public zone.The private zone includes first bedrooms. Sleeping rooms are divided into the "Master Bedroom" room, and all the other sleeping. A separate bedroom belongs to the parent pair, and every adult family member. Children of the same sex, up to a certain age (12 years), can share one bedroom, and then get their own. For example, a family of 4 people will almost always live in a house with 3-4 bedrooms. A window must be in the bedroom. If there is no window in the room, then it can not be a bedroom. Also, almost always in the bedroom should be a built-in wardrobe or storage room.

The host room is the largest bedroom, it usually has a dressing room (Walk-in Closet), or even two wardrobe rooms, and almost always has its own separate bathroom with a toilet and bathroom. In expensive homes, the bathroom in the master room can be very sophisticated, with a jacuzzi, several washbasins, souls, and so on.

The rest of bedrooms usually have smaller wardrobe cabinets. The rest of the bedrooms may not be your toilet and the bathroom, and they can combine one toilet / bathroom for 2 bedrooms.

For children's bathrooms, a pretty typical layout is a washbasin\u003e Toilet\u003e Bathroom. Also, very often larger washbasins, toilets, and bathrooms are installed in children's bathrooms.

For example, a typical plan of an inexpensive American home.

Sometimes there is a configuration when there are two doors in the toilet, and access from two different bedrooms is possible (this is called Jack and Jill Bathroom).

There are almost never chandeliers on the bedroom ceiling. Often instead of the chandelier is a fan (with a lamp, or without). And the main lighting in the bedrooms is usually not very bright, and is suitable with point lights or lamps.

Public rooms

If the house is two-story, the private zone is located on the second floor, and the first will be a public zone - Kitchen, living room, hall, dining room. If the house is one-story, then the public zone will be in the center. Also, one room can be assigned to the office or library. Basement, if there is, equipped under the library, gym, bar or game room.

The public zone is usually not divided into separate rooms, instead all the space is open and separated only by arches, partitions, racks. The kitchen from the dining room is most often separated only by a bar counter or is not separated at all. For example, on this plan, Family Room (family room), Dining Room (dining room), Living Room (living room / living room) and Kitchen (kitchen) are actually combined into one space. It is worth remembering that in English, the word room means both a room with 4 walls and just a place / space, so the Dining Room it can be both the dining room and just a place for the table.

In addition, half a bathroom is often in the public zone. What is half a bathroom? This is a toilet bowl with a washbasin for hands to keep the guests to the toilet through sleeping rooms.

The courtyard is not just welcome, but it is considered simply mandatory. There you can arrange a children's playground, a small kindergarten, often there are swimming pools, and a barbecue will be almost always.

Auxiliary or desktops:
For storage there are providedolsia number of built-in cabinets, storage rooms, equipped for storage basement and attic, and a spacious garage attached to the house.The washing machine is not installed in the bathroom and not in the kitchen, but in a special room for washing. Sometimes they put them in the garage. Lingerie can be dried and dried here.

Inside the American houses almost never see wallpaper on the walls. The inner walls are almost always painted paint. Dominance light and monophonic walls

Separately, it is worth mentioning internal doors. In addition to the usual doors with hinges, in American homes a very large variety of other options:
1. Barn Door (Barn Door), moves to the rail on the rail.

2. Folding doors are commonly used for wardrobe rooms and other utility rooms.

3. Retail doors

4. Also often there are pocket doors that go into the wall.

A few more different plans

Skyscrapers of New York and Las Vegas Casino are only an external facade of one of the largest countries in the world. True America is a cozy, some provincial, "one-story". The projects of American homes are spacious and solid cottages "for the whole family": on the first floor - the overall living room, kitchen, access to the garage, utility rooms. On the second - parent, children's and guest bedrooms. Mansards in this style are not very common, although they are not completely excluded.

Thus, traditionally projects of houses in the American style imply the construction of one-storey, more often - two-storey buildings using framework technologies. In warm states there is no need for thick walls, and a low crime rate and friendly relations with neighbors in private sectors allow us to do without the usual Russian buyer security systems and precautions. The projects of the American type houses presented in our database are modified and adapted to the climatic features of our country.

Projects of American homes and cottages in Russian

The main thing is that the love of Americans to Privacy is pronounced in architectural features of the architectural features of the architectural features. At home are designed in such a way that there is not close to anyone, and for each there was a secluded corner. Also such projects of houses imply the rear yard, but fences and high fences are not always provided - residents of the United States prefer to be friends with their neighbors and do not hide their estates from prying eyes.

To adapt to Russian realities, we had to change the traditional American cottages: projects in our database mainly provide for a gas-concrete, and not a wooden frame "box", although they can be performed on a new energy-efficient framework developed specifically for Russia. Also, the connoisseur of architecture can find stylistic differences and inconsistencies. This is normal - any project should be "tied" to the place, otherwise the construction will be low-functional. However, we managed to preserve the best and recognizable traits of the American style:

• wide porch;
• cozy attic under the roof itself;
• erkers;
• terraces;
• tiled roofs.

The projects presented in the catalog of American-style houses are designed by professional architects, contain photos, planning, detailed descriptions.

It so worked out historically that America became a place in which various cultural traditions, mentality and aesthetic preferences were mixed. Only for some three hundred years, the continent was filled with almost from all countries that sent over the ocean in search of a new best life. They were brought here their own understanding of what should be housing. As a result, all these views on a cozy and comfortable house were closely intertwined, with the result that an American style appeared in the interior design.

So, what should be the traditional dwelling of a modern American?

American style: Opporter's road!

Compared to what we are accustomed to, residents of the post-Soviet space, American dwellings are characterized by impressive sizes. And at the same time, it is absolutely no matter what is the question: a majestic mansion, a cozy cottage in the suburbs or an urban apartment in Manhattan - they all should be spacious.

To visually expand the framework of the room, the dwelling often practically does not have partitions. If the dimensions do not allow to raise and spend valuable square meters to the hallway (this applies, first of all, to apartments), it is simply not doing it. That is, opening entrance doorGuests immediately fall into the living room, and it in turn smoothly flows into the kitchen or dining area.

The projects of houses and cottages in the American style are houses characterized by spacious layout, multifunctionality and convenience. Such projects are mainly calculated on, since almost every construction is complemented by terraces and asymmetric facades. Also worth noting the roofs, which at the expense of their decorativeness give the house an unusual and original appearance. Very often can be acute shapes with large inclination angles.

Often in American homes you can meet, which smoothly go into the local area. The border between the house and the surrounding landscape is even "blurred" at the expense of a large number of doors and windows that are a mandatory attribute of housing. In cottages, where little light, windows and doors, Americans usually feel extremely uncomfortable.

A lot of attention, the inhabitants of America are given to the design of the rear courtyards adjacent to the kitchens and terraces. Here traditionally is a recreation area, etc.

The layout of the American style house is carried out according to a certain rules, taking into account some features. The zoning of the interior occurs in such a way that the guest is delayed in the hallway, bypassing the inner quarters of the owners of the house. For this reason, next to often equip the guest area, where you can easily drink a seagull at the table, sitting on a comfortable sofa or chairs.
