I have a 12 hectare site. He planned to build a house, but, I believe, will have 2-3 years until all completed yet, live in cabins. Ekodonom experience can be very useful.

Building insulated cabins with their own hands

So, if you want to build insulated shed, or an economical and inexpensive mini house for permanent residence as a temporary solution to the housing problem, we suggest to familiarize with the constructive structure Ekodonom.

Mini house consists of two connected with each other "huts" - basic and adjoined. The dimensions of the "base":

• length and width - 6000h2100 mm;
• ceiling height - 2000 mm.

Bungalow stands on the "national" foundations of 6 peskotsementnyh blocks. The inner space of the house is divided by partitions into 3 rooms:

• kitchen;
• dining room;
• bedroom.

The total area of ​​the "base" - 12.6 sq. m.

Dimensions of additional building:

• length and width - 5900h2200 mm;
• ceiling height - 2300 mm.

Enclosed is standing on a monolithic slab foundation reinforced with embedded under the output communications. Moreover, the second part is offset relative to the "base" of 1 meter. The inner space of the extension is divided into 5 functional areas. It:

• an entrance, an area of ​​5 square. m;
• bath (washbasin + shower);
• a boiler, an area of ​​about 1 sq. m;
• workshop;
• restroom.

The total area of ​​extension - 13 kV. m.

It was attached to the house further veranda 1400h2200 mm size, where there are:

• Pantry - "hlamovnik";
• Workbench;
• storage space for bags and a chair.

Total: the total area of ​​the mini-house, cabins about 30 square meters. m.

As can be seen, despite its modest size, the house is functional, t. To. Divided into workers, household and residential areas.

• Bungalow built on frame technology from the bar section of 5x5 cm. Step grate structure to the size of a heater, in a staggered manner, with an intermediate step along the length of cabins - 450 and 900 mm.
• Warming - 5 cm of stone wool (which, we note, is not enough for the winter, but enough for the user, due to a small cottage area).
• The walls, floor and ceiling, the outside and inside, unrolled roll of expanded foam insulation width of 1 m and a thickness of 5 mm.
• Ceiling sewn top board 2 cm thick. The walls are covered with lining thickness of 1 cm, mounted inside sheets 5 mm thick hardboard.
• Inside cabins too finished lining thickness of 1 cm.

Total, with all sections, wall thickness 8.5 cm.

Of course, the cake described above, - no classic frame construction and insulation layer should be increased. But it is important to us real experience year-round in a mini-house in the Moscow region, even with minimal insulation.

Ekodonom

The most important thing at warming huts - insulation of floors and ceilings. In the photo above we see that the house is lowered below ground level 200 mm. It provides additional insulation of the floor due to snow, nametonnogo on the perimeter of the structure. The bedroom has an electric convector 1 kW. When constantly live in cabins, body temperature also heats the internal space, and it is getting warmer still at 3-5 ° C. When the residential area of ​​just 12 square meters. m heating and 1.5 kW, even at -30 ° C, the temperature in the cabins to fall below + 20 ° C.

Summarizing

For example Ekodonom you see that, if left unaddressed gigantomania, in certain situations, or stock character in the mini-house, you can live with all amenities. T. e. no one should be, do not spend all the money on the maintenance of suburban real estate, whose operation is less expensive than flat in the city.

Ekodonom

During his life in cabins, Moscow gradually approached my SNT. Noise from cars, dust, so that the windows do not open, and the ever-increasing spending on contributions to the dacha settlement are bothering me. I think, to find out, in the 70-80 km from Moscow, a site in a remote village, hundreds of 3, with an abandoned house and where to turn. If you get away from the city, land prices are not the same, that next to the metropolis. The main thing is that electricity was 10 kW, a well and a fence. Not perish!
