A selection of houses for every taste and budget
Original and typical projects: from medium to huge and "golden"
When a developer chooses a country house project or looks at the price of a finished house, he wants to solve two main problems:
- Build a nice and cozy home for your family.
- Fit into the planned construction budget.
At this stage, the developer is trapped by many "pitfalls". For example, gigantomania or sliding into architecture "hello from the 90s!" FORUMHOUSE will help you avoid them. We will show you 20 beautiful and harmonious country house projects with prices and expert comments.

A beautiful house needs to be thought out from "A" to "Z". It is important to consider everything - architecture, design, layout, department. The house should harmoniously fit into your suburban area. One of the problems of novice developers is the pursuit of square meters and the overestimation of their strength. People think that the bigger the house, the better. Dreams crash against reality. A large country house quickly sucks up all funds. Construction is stalled at the stage of erection of the "box", and in order to bring the house to mind, it is necessary to invest in it another 3-4, already spent amounts. In recent years, people increasingly pay attention to overseas projects of country houses with an area of 100-150 m². They understand that mansions of 300-500 squares are not needed for a comfortable life. Therefore, I created a theme where photos of beautiful country cottages actually built in Russia will be posted. The houses will be in a different price segment - budget projects and expensive mansions, but the priority is the middle price segment. Go!
1.High-tech country houses with flat roofs: architectural solutions and cost
The house with a flat roof in the photo below was built in the Moscow region. Wall decoration - natural wood.
House value - $ 4.2 million rub. Pay attention to the harmonious combination of exterior decoration elements - the window area is highlighted in brown and a horizontally laid board, which stands out against the vertical one.

Another example of a beautiful modern home, $ 4 million. rub. True, in my opinion, inserts made of natural brown stone are clearly superfluous here.
2. Country house stylized as a Japanese cottage
There are developers who dream of a Japanese-style home. Many do not dare to experiment and confine themselves to small architectural forms under-Japan. For example, they build gazebos with well-recognizable curved roofs, like those of a pagoda.
Here is an example of a successful oriental styling. Not ideal, of course, but the house looks very harmonious.
And this is a more successful version of Japanese stylization, made according to an individual project.
3. Medium size country house projects
Houses with an area of up to 100 m² are traditionally in demand among developers who are looking for inexpensive dwellings or country houses. Then you will like the completed projects below.
One-storey house with an area of 100 m² which harmoniously blended into the suburban area and became part of it.
The cost of the house is $ 1.65 million. rub.
A house with a simple gable roof, stylized as Finnish projects of one-story buildings.
Please note that the wall decoration of the house visually imitates pine trunks that grow on the site.

Here is another pretty house with an area of 84m². The house looks beautiful. Correctly fit into the plot and stylishly finished.
Another Finnish project near St. Petersburg is a house with an attic floor, a gable roof covered with flexible tiles and large windows. The color of the house echoes well with the surrounding pine trees.
The area of the house is 120 m², although it looks smaller on the plot. Cost - 3.6 million rub. Pay attention to the large porch that flows smoothly into the terrace.
A house is a godsend for a summer residence.
The monochrome façade is painted in soothing colors. The facade of the house is highlighted with panoramic glazing with wide window lintels painted in contrasting white. A wide terrace was built around the house, visually adding volume.
4. Projects of modern country houses with an area of 150-250 m²
Moving on to more expensive houses, with an area of 100 m², which are of interest to the widest circle of developers.
Combined house with residential attic floor and shingle roof.
House size 180 m². Cost - 4 million rub. Pay attention to the successful combination of natural wood and stone in the decoration of the cottage.
Modern house with an area of 170 m² for 5.5 million rub.
Only the green roof stands out from the general color scheme of the walls and basement.
Layout of the premises of the house for 5.5 mln. rub.
Another combined house is a log and a stone.
One feels that the architect worked on the project. House size 230 m². Cost - 7.6 million rub.
Classic house for $ 4 million rub. area of 145 m².
House built in Karelia.
Pay attention to how well the house fits into the suburban area and landscape design, and all buildings are in harmony with each other.
Small and very cozy house.
Modern country house in European style of 150 m² for 4.6 million rub.
5. Large country houses made according to individual projects
Moving on to modern projects of houses with an area of over 200 m² and a price of $ 10 million. rub. First example.
Both houses are located on large plots. Do not try to "shove" a house of 200-300 squares on a plot of 7-10 acres. The building will "eat" most of the territory and will look awkward.
Second example, for $ 16.5 million rub., stylized as a castle.
Another good combination of wood and stone.
The layout of the premises.
A house with a flat exploited roof, on which you can install engineering equipment and make an observation deck and, expensive, but discreet finish.
This is a house in the "Barn" style in the Moscow region.
The house has large panoramic windows. Wall decoration - natural wood.
A house in “Barn house” style is not for everyone, but you must admit that such cottages look advantageous and unusual against the background of the kingdom of houses made of “red” bricks, siding, metal tiles and corrugated fences.
conclusions
At the end of the article, we will give quick answers to questions from FORUMHOUSE users.
Why are houses, for example, frame frames, stylized externally as a bar, and from the inside as a loft? Isn't it easier to build a house out of wood or brick right away?

A counter question, why are houses made of aerated concrete with bricks? People realize their "Wishlist" using different building materials.
What's the point of making a house out of one material and styling it like another?
Spacewalker
Exterior decoration is the most characteristic element of the house, which forms its stylistic identity. Houses look ugly when the stylization of the facade is done without observing the canons and principles of the style under which the building is stylized.
I understand when a half-timbered house is real, and when it is artificial, it's ugly!
Spacewalker
A correctly recreated half-timbered building looks beautiful and authentic. You will not distinguish it from the real one, but what some call "half-timbered" is just like wooden slats nailed onto a plastered facade.
