The optimal area of a country house: what is good for a German is for a Russian
It would seem that people living in different countries should have more or less similar values: healthy food, fresh air, a comfortable and roomy country house. But as it turns out, each nation is trying to fit its number of square meters into the concept of "roomy".
For example, in gloomy England, people build houses with living space, on average, in 925 square... feet, or 86 square meters. If we consider that the prudent Englishmen have at least 2 full bathrooms in the house, consisting of a faience seat and a shower cabin (no baths are expensive), then total area "overgrows" another twenty "squares" - up to a hundred.
Even the Queen of Great Britain is said to use only 4-5 rooms from her estate in Westminster.
And the photo below is a typical English country house.
But in the no less gloomy Finland, the ideas about comfort are already different. Slow Finns do not mind standing in line for a minute or two in the toilet, so there is only one bathroom. But the average area of the hacienda in the country is higher than that of the islanders - an average of 126 square meters.
126 squares... relatives scatter to their rooms and meet only in the kitchen and toilet. Maybe that's why Finland has the least number of divorces in the EU ...
And it's time to get closer to the most interesting thing - the average area of a country house in Mother Russia. Otherwise, you will close this article and upset the old foreman.
Russia is a country with a poor population, but a broad soul. That is why (according to Domofond), our typical country house has an area... in 230 square meters!
And here is the time to ask: do you have a friend who got into five six credits (and these are just the ones that your wife knows about) to build a huge cottage? Write your answer in the comment.
I have such acquaintances.
And the most interesting thing is that people build houses of 300 "squares" and do not think that at the age of twenty children will fly out of the family nest and the rooms will not be needed. And still all 300 squares need to be heated, but gas and electricity are getting more and more expensive ...
Here is such a broad Russian soul ...
PS: look through the photos above, this palace complex was built in Kazan by the owner of a dairy plant. Built and went bankrupt...
