What Dreams May Come: The original house

houses original projects selected for different reasons - or want to get away from the typical designs and realize their dreams, or the kind of fun to get, and due to unusual constructive save. The portal FORUMHOUSE many examples of unusual homes, pleasing their masters and views, and comfort. We take a closer look.

Originality at everyone

That can be called unusual project? The original house "striking", he can like or cause rejection, but it is impossible not to notice, and such an effect is achieved mostly due to the form. That's it, and we take as a measure of strangeness. Although the presence of a project is taken, bay windows, panoramic windows, arches and columns also make it a non-standard, there is a category of structures that without these special stages can not be attributed to the model. The most popular it is among the two developers:

• Houssa barn (Barn House).
• Dome (round, geospheres).

Of course, there are other, even more amazing shape, but in a single performance, so stop on the above categories.

Barn House

This house-barns, but not in the sense of living together with farm animals, and in the sense of a minimalist style, which performed such buildings. In an initial embodiment in them gable roof, but our umeltsam closer variation barns-blocks, with a flat or a pent roof. Attract such projects and unusual views, and ease of execution, and the ability to save. Barn Houssa liking several participants portal.

Black House by Stabxxx

Black House is not in a figurative but in the literal sense, as the facade of the burnt up black board, but in form - two-story cube with a pent roof and the narrow windows resembling loopholes fortress. This modern minimalism chosen deliberately: and because of the modest budget, and because of dislike of the owner to the types of domestic homes, and just like the project of the foreign desk, which was taken over basis.

Revised to fit your needs and desires, planning and constructive were as follows.

Stabxxx (Member FORUMHOUSE ):

Foundation - UWB (thanks to this site for getting to know him and to all the luminaries of topics UWB), heating - floor heating, a skeleton - dry planed board overlap - I-beams, wall insulation of 200 mm (150 + 50), the flat roof - PVC membrane, insulation ecowool 300 mm. Dimensions - 6,2x13,1 by external uprights, living area - 136 m².

From the panoramic windows and abandoned because of "biting" the cost of the stained-glass windows, and because of the small area and lack of vision of the neighborhood for a decent view. Construction on frame technology has been selected for the speed of the process and the ability to work "in a helmet", hired labor was involved occasionally. All the details of the construction in the subject line of the author - Black House, See the story about the black house can be video.

Modern house for a young family

Two-storey house, a cube of SIP panels, pent roof, "highlight" in the form of removal of the second floor above the front door, unlike the previous version - panoramic windows on the first floor.

Nikitab900 (Member FORUMHOUSE):

Like a modern energy-efficient house with 2-3 bedrooms, living room-kitchen-dining room and a spacious bathroom. All thoughts are around the high-tech, Cubism and other modernities Scandinavian architecture.

Frame housing, and in this case has attracted pace, affordability and the ability to self-assembly of the frame. To reduce material costs at home project, which is fully developed Nikitab900, to fit the dimensions of SIP panels. As facade facing - metal siding, roofing since without overhangs, and wooden frame was necessary maximum protection from external impact. As the foundation - melkozaglublennaya tape. Underfloor heating system, panoramic windows over - additional circuit.

All stages of the creation of the project, the choice of structural elements and translating ideas into practice - in the subject line "Modern house for a young family". You see what happened in the material can be "SIP panels and metal ...".

dome structure

Combines these houses round shape, variations in the performance - a few: the geosphere and collected from triangles, and karkasniki of metal or wooden arcs and permanent formwork of polystyrene blocks. Depending on the project, the house can have round the walls and roof, and it's almost the dome, which stands on the foundation, with no walls as such. And such a very very unusual house in honor of the participants of the portal.

Dome house from concept to the final of SerogiKupola

Domed storey house with an open terrace diameter - 9 m, the total area - about 100 m². The circular base plate, a frame made of metal arcs. To eliminate thermal bridges in the attachment points plating metal duplicated tree. Sheathing OSB-boards 3, wall thickness - 20 cm, as insulation - foam crumb. Zone dome finished shingles as an optimal material for roofs of complex shape.

SerogaKupol (Member FORUMHOUSE)

After going through a lot of options, I decided to build a dome house on his own project. Guided by the following things: should be as inexpensive, it should be built as quickly as possible and be sure to warm. I'm not a professional builder, not an architect, but invented and built it all himself. Dome shape chosen, of course, because of the beauty and originality. Plus saving building materials.

Heating in the house electrical, floor heating system, according to the results of several winters house showed itself energy efficient - purchased with a reserve power boiler is almost never used in a hollow force. In addition, the design also "budget", the cost of building materials, assistants, communication, decoration and terrace were less than a million (for 2014). For details of construction and sensations household - this topic "Dome house from concept to the final."

Geosfera V5 D12 11/20 by IceAge

Geosfera - 12 m in diameter, total area of ​​about 160 m, with two floors and five second light gables of gazosilikata. On the pediment supported slab of the second floor, and they are also simplified the installation of rectangular windows and doors. The house has five living rooms, two bathrooms and a large central hall, combined with a kitchen. As a heater - hollofayber total thickness of 150 mm. The spherical shape was chosen not only for aesthetic reasons, but because of the future of the heating system. During operation, the selection was confirmed at home.

From the beginning, building a house, we only rely on heating with electricity, this explains the interest in the construction of the dome. Consumption of the dome at a temperature of 0 to -10⁰S is not more than 4 kW / h. in -20⁰S - about 8 kW / h. The only permanent working heater in the house - a warm floor of the first floor. Of course there is a fireplace, and additional heaters, but we use the fireplace as a hobby and as an extra source of heating and electric heaters for a long time are not included.

The design of the geosphere is interesting by the fact that in contrast to the types of buildings, it is considered advisable to build a dome larger diameter. This is due to the retention of the number of triangular elements skeleton - conserved quantity of fixing connectors and installation costs. See this unusual house may be in the plot "House-geosphere. Personal experience", and all the design features and details of the construction - in Related IceAge.

What to be original

Huge selection of building materials significantly extends the capabilities of developers, allowing to carry out any dreams, and the choice of a particular category depends solely on personal preference and financial opportunities. However, there are materials from which to build is original designs faster, easier and cheaper. And Barn House, and dome homes are built mainly on frame technology, because it is quick, with observing its quite strong and durable, and relatively affordable.

In addition, karkasniki, be they the most unusual shapes and constructive, cost lightweight foundation that also saves budget. If the question of finance and the speed of work is not a cornerstone, a custom home, you can even build a brick, though of laminated veneer lumber, though made of reinforced concrete.

What should we build a house

Some people believe that any deviation from the standard projects significantly increases the cost of the final cost of the building and in many situations it is confirmed. For example, a bay window, columns and balcony or panoramic windows really inflate the estimate, but their presence does not make the house unusual, rather, enhances its decorative background on rectangular boxes. Members of our portal is successfully building truly original home, lying in a reasonable amount. In this respect, interesting conclusions, which made SerogaKupolWhen he decided on his house.
