During the season, they turned the garage into a functional mini-house for a large family. Personal experience

A step-by-step process of restructuring, constructive, before and after photos, estimate

The theme of mini-houses is consistently popular among self-builders. And these are not necessarily dull cabins, or faceless "transformer booths." With the right approach, presentable, stylish and comfortable houses with all amenities are obtained. One of these will be discussed, consider how a modern country house was made from a cinder block garage.

Rational approach

First, we will show what happened with the portal user Artyom Oganov (nickname on the portal IceAge).

At the heart of the house is a garage made of cinder blocks, which was almost completely dismantled.

Thanks to a rational approach, a comfortable mini-house for a young family has turned out.

The floor was insulated with EPS, 3 layers of 5 cm.

I built a mini-house as temporary housing for 2-3 years, for two adults and three children, as a replacement for a one-room apartment of the same area. In the future, it is planned to build a full-size cottage.

The mini-house aroused increased interest on the portal and a video was filmed about it.

The mini-house was built in one construction season.

The area of ​​the "attic" floor is 21 sq. m.

Despite its modest size, in terms of comfort, the house is in no way inferior to large cottages.

When building a mini-house, you have to take into account hundreds of little things, and the approach to design is often more complicated than to an ordinary cottage.

The second light and correctly placed windows visually increase the interior volume of the room.

In a bathroom with an area of ​​4 sq. m, accommodated:

• toilet;
• sink;
• large cast iron bath;
• full-size washing machine;
• locker for linen;
• boiler for 100 liters;
• heating and underfloor heating unit (4 zones).

The "highlight" of the mini-house is the round windows on the pediments, which offer a beautiful view of nature.

Decorating the walls of a mini-house - a shindle self-pinned from dead spruce.

The approximate budget of the mini-house was about 1 million rubles. Whether it is a lot or a little, everyone decides for himself, IceAge with the family are satisfied with housing.

Press your finger for an unusual approach!

For another compact country house with a similar budget, you can find out in one of the previous articles. And when the budget is much more modest, build realistically and for 150 thousand, proved by the personal experience of one of the members of the forum. In the video - about a cozy little house for a reasonable price.
