As I designed the house-yurt

Probably many design stories resemble each other, but not the story. Therefore, my friends, I decided to tell you about it.

Our history began with the fact that the exchange FORUMHOUSE attracted my attention a very interesting project - the customer wanted to build a house in the shape of the yurt.

Since I am by nature inquisitive person and I like to perceive new things, to overcome the difficulties, I immediately offered his services for the design. Within a week, I lasted my correspondence with the customer, and then began a long-awaited work on the project interested me.

The work was complicated by the fact that at that time in our country like the house still has not been designed, so to speak - it was a new trend in the construction industry. And you know, in the public domain was not the technical documentation for the construction of such houses technology. The only thing that I had at the time - this is a reference to the foreign site, who designed these houses on frame technology

The situation is more complicated by the fact that the site was in a geological fault zone, and in this area were allocation of radon exceeding the maximum permissible limits. Also, the customer subsequently came to the conclusion that he does not want to frame the house, and the house of aerated concrete, which further complicates the problem, because this is not designed by anybody. House "tent" in the frame execution is, and in aircrete them at that time no one has ever designed.

For the project I came up thoroughly. Almost 3 months I have designed a future home, he studied books, the internet and handbooks on construction, talked with colleagues architects. A lot of information has been dug, and the WHO has been a small truck. The main issues that need to be solved: How to build? What to build? And how not to be mistaken. How to create a new hitherto tried in construction technology.

Based on the geological study of the soil, the selection of the type of foundation was made in favor of the foundation slab. Here I was faced with another obstacle. In this case, the area was the ultimate dose of radioactive gas - radon, which in no case should not get into the living quarters of the house.

Having studied the information on protection against radon, I came to the conclusion that under the slab foundation'll apply the membrane, "geo Technonikol planter" So the solution I kill several birds with one stone:

when using such a membrane, we do not need a footing, making it easier, cheaper, and faster construction work;
the membrane is protected against ingress of moisture and is more protected from the penetration of radon.

I also used a ventilated plinth with large ventilation openings. This problem was over. Here's what happened.

It was the first time for me and very exciting! Work enough, it had begun. Now I can focus on the layout of the house. Since the house has a round shape, and it was planned to build of aerated concrete, which has a rectangular shape, I wondered how to implement. Cut corners of each of the blocks is difficult technologically. It was therefore decided - to break the circle into segments and build a house with an almost round polyhedron. The house consisted of 16 walls, and households. extension consisted of adjoining semicircular consisting of 8 walls. More assumed large terrace with access to it from the kitchen, living room and porch at the entrance. The first floor turned such.

The main stage of the design has been completed, and I am in good conscience began to consider how to build a hipped roof round shape. There could have been a little better, the benefit of this issue was more technical information. Roof turned in this section.

In order not to delay the story, I will not delve into the technology design round hipped roofs. In principle, on this subject there is a lot of material.

In conclusion:

Design of the house - is not only a great joy, but also responsibility. And all the difficulties that you face - this is what makes us more experienced and far-sighted for the future.
