Modern cottages in the style of minimalism with red. Minimalist house project

Any architectural and construction project consists of three parts: architectural, design and engineering. This is a document without which the developer will not receive permission to start construction.

The main part of the project is the architectural and design sections. If the customer is sure that there are intelligent specialists in engineering networks in the construction team, then the development of this part of the project in a specialized company can be abandoned. But it is necessary to understand that the architect, designer and engineer are working on the project together and such moments as, for example, strobes and openings in the walls for laying pipes and wires, are provided by them in advance.

The engineering part of the project is divided into several parts

• Water supply and sewerage (VK)

1. water supply scheme
2. sewerage scheme
3. general form systems.

Before proceeding with the design, it is necessary to decide what kind of communication will be - individual or connected to centralized system.

Individual water supply gives complete independence from external conditions. But it must be remembered that you will need your own sources of water, and drilling a well will cost a decent amount.

Connecting to a centralized system will require design development in accordance with specifications existing network and obtaining permission for the tie-in.

When connecting a sewer to a centralized system, the procedure is the same as when connecting a water supply: making a request to the relevant services, developing a project, obtaining permission to tie into the system. If you decide to organize an individual sewer system, then from time to time you will have to invite a sewer service.

• Heating and ventilation (HV)

1. heating scheme: calculation of the required power of the equipment, distribution schemes for heating mains, location of pipes and radiators
2. ventilation scheme: binding to power electrical equipment, ventilation communications and shafts, passage nodes and, if necessary, the location of stoves and fireplaces
3. boiler piping (if necessary)
4. general instructions and recommendations for the section.

If the ventilation system is always an individual design, then heating can be either individual (stove, air, water, electric), or connected to centralized networks.

• Power supply (ETR)

1. lighting layout
2. wiring of power networks
3. ASU scheme
4. grounding system
5. detailed description and characteristics of all elements of the system.

Electrical systems can be divided into mandatory and optional. Mandatory include indoor and outdoor lighting, ventilation, air conditioning and electric heating systems. Additional systems include such systems as "warm floor" or automated control gate.

IMPORTANT

• Each of the parts of the engineering section of the project should contain a general and technical descriptions, specifications of materials and necessary equipment.
• Drawings of elements of all systems and floor electrical wiring are made on a scale of 1:100.

Price: from 100 rubles. per m²

Making changes to the project

Often, the customer is faced with the question: choose a typical house project and save money, while losing on the originality of future housing, or order an individual project, but for a lot of money.

Our company offers a compromise option. You order a standard project, and we make changes to it, taking into account all your wishes as much as possible. Of course, this implies additional costs, but, in any case, such a project will cost much less than work for a specific order. And we will make sure that your house looks original.

The following changes can be made to the project of the house:

move wall partitions. But only if they are not carriers. This operation will allow you to change the size and purpose of the rooms.

moving windows and doorways allows you to change the illumination of rooms and organize convenient access to the rooms you need

changing the type of floors and walls will allow you to fully realize your own ideas about economical and rational housing

change ceiling heights. Although all our houses are designed with optimal height rooms 2.8 m, some customers believe that high ceilings are additional coziness and comfort

conversion of the attic into a living space will give you the opportunity to expand your own living space

it is worth changing the angle of inclination of the roof and canopies, taking into account the climatic conditions of a particular region

it is necessary to change the type of foundation, taking into account the engineering and geological parameters of the soil. It is also possible to add or change a basement or basement

add, remove, change a garage or a terrace, you can, in accordance with your ideas about the functionality of housing

change structural composition, building and finishing materials will allow you to economically manage your own financial resources

a mirror image project will allow you to organically fit the house into the surrounding landscape.

The changes made should not affect the safety of the home.

Too much a large number of changes usually do not improve the project. If you could not choose a suitable house in the catalogs, then it may be worth ordering an individual project from an architect.

Price: from 2000 rubles.

Package "Foundation adaptation"

When a typical project of a house is being developed, then some average soil parameters are taken as a basis. But, without having the exact data of the geological expertise, it is difficult to take into account all the nuances in the design. Therefore, often the engineering and geological characteristics of a real site differ significantly from those originally laid down in the project. And this means that the foundation - the basis of the whole house - will need to be finalized in order to make it strong and reliable.

To completely eliminate all problems when laying the foundation, the specialists of our company have developed a package "Adaptation of the foundation". When implementing a package, not only specifications but also the wishes of the customer.

This package includes:

• choice of foundation type
• calculation of technical parameters:

Foundation footing depth
- load bearing capacity
- indicators of soil stress under the base of the foundation
- cross-sectional area of ​​the working reinforcement, etc.

• detailed drawings of the zero cycle
• cost sheet for building materials.

Adaptation of the foundation gives a full guarantee of its strength, and hence the reliability of the entire building. You are guaranteed to get rid of problems such as shrinkage and cracks during operation already finished house. Moreover, often the adapted foundation turns out to be cheaper than the option originally laid down in the project. And this will help save materials and financial resources.

Price: 14,000 rubles.

Individual design

If you decide to build a house, then you have your own idea of ​​​​what your dream home should be like. And if none of the typical projects suits you, it makes sense to think about individual project. In addition, it will take into account all your wishes as much as possible: the level of comfort, family composition, even the view from the window. It is clear that such a project will cost a lot. But you will know for sure that there is no other like it.
Sometimes, however, you have to resort to individual design forcedly. For example, the developer got a plot of land of a non-standard configuration, and not a single standard project simply fits into it. And it also happens that the number of changes made by the customer is such that it is easier and cheaper to design a house from scratch.

Stages of work on an individual project:

• development of technical specifications for the design of a house
• contract for design work
• preparation of a draft design: linking the building to the terrain, external and interior view, layouts, cuts
• detailed study of sections of the project.

In addition, you can also order:

• projects additional facilities- garage, workshop, sauna, etc.
• visualization of the project in 3D format.

Ultimately, the customer receives a package of design documentation, consisting of architectural and structural sections.

The project features:

• The general plan of the house with its binding to the boundaries of the site.
• Floor plans, which indicate the thickness of walls, lintels and partitions, the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe premises, the specification of windows and doorways.
• Facade plans with indication of finishing materials and color schemes.
• Sections of the building and main units.
• Drawings and sections of the foundation, bill of materials.
• overlap calculation, truss system roofs, roof insulation and waterproofing units.

You can decide on the style of the future home in the catalog "Individual design".

Package "Tender offer"

For any developer, the question from a cheerful nursery rhyme "what should we build a house ...?" far from idle. Moreover, the cost of building a house depends on many factors. Therefore, you should not estimate the costs "by eye". Not possessing complete information, it will not work to calculate everything to the smallest detail and, in the end, it will cost itself more. And besides, a careful calculation of the cost of materials and work affects not only your finances, but also the timing of building a house.

You can calculate the construction costs with the utmost accuracy using the "Tender offer" service developed by our specialists. In fact, this is a document that provides a complete list of all building materials and work, indicating their volumes.

The presence of a tender offer allows:

• get a real picture of the costs of upcoming construction
• attract a construction company that is able to offer the most profitable terms performance of work
• not only understand the essence of the construction process, but also competently control the consumption of building materials, independently adjusting prices for each item
• competently supervise the actions of contractors at all stages of construction

tender offer, supported by information on the cost of materials and construction works- a serious argument for obtaining bank loans.

Package "Anti-ice"

Snowdrifts and ice in winter time on the roof of your house cause a lot of trouble. You can, of course, climb onto the roof and wave a shovel in the cold for 2-3 hours - that's business. But it has long been invented and widely used efficient systems snowmelt and anti-icing. Their basis is heating cables. The system is organized on the same principle as the "warm floor". Only more powerful and the cable laying step is smaller.

The Anti-Ice package is developed taking into account the peculiarities of the power supply of the house:

for roofs and gutters: snowmelt in gutters, at the edge of the roof in order to prevent the formation of icicles and frost in the pipes

for entrance group: heating steps, paths and open areas

for the entrance to the garage: heated driveways

in addition, sometimes the Anti-Ice system is used for heating the soil in greenhouses, and for landscape heating of flower beds, lawns and lawns, as well as for heating sports facilities.

During the design process, it is calculated minimum flow electricity and fire safety. When creating the Anti-Ice system, it is recommended to use only certified self-heating elements that do not support combustion. In addition, the system is equipped with an overtemperature shutdown device or a differential circuit breaker to automatically shut down the system when power loss is detected. If the system is too large, it is divided into smaller sections. This makes it easier to manage her work.

Important:

for a multi-pitched roof, the Anti-Ice system will be designed by specialists of our company on an individual order.

Price: 4500 rubles.

Package "Lightning protection"

Often developers do not give of great importance protection of their own homes from lightning: someone saves, someone thinks, someone hopes for "maybe". But 3-4 years after the construction of the house, many people remember about lightning protection. The roofing felts of a neighbor burned down in a thunderstorm Appliances, roofing felts, statistics caught my eye on how many fires occur per year due to lightning.

We propose to resolve the issue immediately: to provide protection already at the design stage of the house. It is worth thinking about this, if only for purely aesthetic reasons - there will be no need to once again hollow out the walls of the house and pull the down conductor along the facade, violating the well-thought-out appearance of the building.

Home lightning protection is a system of devices located both outside the home and indoors. External lightning protection prevents lightning from entering the house, internal - protects the electrical network from sudden voltage surges. And special devices protect electrical engineering from sudden changes in the electromagnetic field within the radius of a lightning strike.

The package "Lightning protection" includes

• plan-scheme of the location of lightning rods that take on direct lightning strikes
• cross-sectional diagram of a current collector that diverts current from the lightning rod to ground
• ground loop circuit that distributes lightning energy in the soil, ensuring complete safety
• averaged resistance calculations
• detailed list necessary materials
• recommendations for project implementation.

The package "Lightning protection" from the company Dom4M guarantees you the safety of your home even in the most severe thunderstorm.

Package "Central vacuum cleaner"

"Central vacuum cleaner" is a kind of aspiration system(removal of small particles by sucking them in with an air stream).

The system consists of:

• vacuum cleaner(installed in the technical room);
• duct system, along which the dust-air mass moves (more often hidden installation is carried out in the preparation of the floor or in the space behind the false ceiling);
• pneumosockets and pneumosows(connects to the first flexible hose with a telescopic rod and nozzle, as in a conventional vacuum cleaner, the latter are designed for express cleaning, usually in the kitchen).

Pros:

• removable dusty no air gets in back into the room, and is “thrown out” after the unit to the street;
• No noise in clean rooms.
• Ease of cleaning without "pulling" the vacuum cleaner from room to room, without the use of extension cords.
• Concealed installation system, there is nothing in the room except a pneumo-socket.

Project price: from 3100 rubles.

Package "Comfortable home"

Explanatory dictionaries claim that comfort is a set of household amenities, without which life is unthinkable.
modern man in a modern house. Most of these amenities are laid down at the design stage. But we are ready to expand their list and help clients make their own housing as comfortable as possible.

These buildings are filled with light. It is one of the pillars of minimalist architecture. Therefore, the windows must be large. Ideally, some of the walls (or even more than one and not only wall!) of the room can be transparent.

Strict lines, right angles. Everything that can be reduced to a straight line between two points must be reduced to it. Curves and circles are excluded. Minimalist house designs are distinguished by soothing colors. The most commonly used are white and grey. Bright colors are unacceptable to them. Open spaces. They are the main decoration of such buildings. There should be as much air and space in them as possible.

As for building materials, the canons are not so strict here. The use of brick and concrete, wood and stone is allowed. Concrete, glass and concrete can be called traditional for this architectural trend.

Imaginary simplicity

This direction can be compared with Japanese architecture. Its traces are visible in the presence of columns and flat roof. Usually the dwelling is supplied with a veranda. Its location can be arbitrary, often it encircles the building along one wall or several. Projects of houses in the style of minimalism provide for the presence of several levels. They do not always coincide in different blocks of the building, symmetry is also not necessary.

For a home to be truly comfortable and functional, it is best to go the custom home design route to create your dream home. However standard projects houses in the style of minimalism are a more budgetary and verified option in terms of reliability and safety.

Minimalist houses: features and 4 interesting directions

Minimalist houses are becoming popular. The main meaning of minimalism lies in project construction, where conciseness reigns, as well as maximum functionality. The style does not accept piling up of details, massiveness, excesses and pretentiousness, but implies the use of simplicity and immediacy. Let's understand this in more detail.

Characteristics

House designs in a minimalist style, as a rule, do not introduce expensive finishes, but always embody restraint, expressiveness and showiness. Such cottages gracefully fit into the surrounding nature.

The minimalism style has certain features that are similar to the loft or high-tech directions:

1. Concise finish.
2. Large glazing.
3. Spacious interior layout.
4. The predominance of regular lines and strict forms - mostly they are all straight.
5. A small range of colors and shades.

Modern houses are very different from the usual and traditional buildings. First of all, their appearance stands out.

architectural features

If we consider architectural features, it will be quite difficult to choose one. Can be found at home in the form of:

• An elongated parallelepiped.
• Big cube.
• Uniform pyramid.

Architectural minimalism manifests itself at different levels, ledges and niches are equipped. Asymmetry is also actively used. A striking feature is the open terraces.

Building and finishing materials

Houses in the style of minimalism are quite demanding on finishing materials. Both natural and artificial materials:

• Metal.
• A rock.
• Concrete.
• Glass.

Walls are often built using brick, concrete finish and steel frame structures. Can be used in modern construction aerated concrete and ceramic blocks. The choice of material depends on the location of the house and the climatic features of a particular area.

The roof is made of corrugated board and PVC membrane, they most closely correspond to minimalism.

window frames

Windows in minimalism play an important role. Modern projects often include panoramic windows. Designers use glass in partitions and even in walls. More expensive projects may have glass roofs.

Distinctive features window openings minimalist style:

• Non-standard sizes.
• No or minimal jumpers.
• Rectangular windows. Other geometric shapes cannot occur, this is unacceptable.
• Shutters, any lattices, newfangled stained-glass windows, as well as other decorative elements are completely absent.

Absence decorative elements on the windows of the house - not the best option if your house is located in a crowded place. In minimalism, glass tinting is preferred. Roller shutters are also available.

Color spectrum

Minimalism is characterized by muted shades that are as close as possible to natural, that is, natural colors. The main color palette is considered to be:

• Beige.
• Sand.
• Woody.
• Dark green.

White and gray scales are recognized as the basis of minimalism. They are found in every project. Colors can be combined with each other, but as a rule, no more than three colors are used. I note that the use of bright colors and rich contrasting combinations will be considered bad form.

Minimalist style: 4 directions

Many say that minimalism is cold and austere. Despite this, he firmly and rather quickly entrenched himself in style directions. country house.

Rapprochement with comfort and warmth allowed the emergence of two new trends at once:

• Soft.

A photo	Description
	Direction 1. Soft minimalism These are the softest and most beautiful lines, with color shades. Various textures are actively used. The style is quite warm. There is also a lack of decorative elements, houses are built in restrained forms. As a finish can be used: stones, wood, plaster, plastic, metal. It should be borne in mind that finishing materials should have an imitation of a natural texture. The main color scheme revolves around beige and sandy white.
	Direction 2. Eco-minimalism Natural and environmentally friendly finishing and building materials are actively used. Natural stones, wood, ceramics are used to decorate the house. Quite often there are wooden houses in this direction. If the owner's budget allows, then set solar panels. The main colors of this style direction are all shades of white, beige, gray, blue, salad and emerald green.
	Direction 3. Scandinavian style This is some ethnic style, which actively uses bold contrasting combinations. It is allowed to use colorful and bright colors.
	Direction 4. Japanese minimalism There are the most simple forms. Monochrome finishes are often used. The residential building is compact. Houses are always rectangular in shape. Colors are predominantly used natural shades: woody, white, dark gray. The arrangement of the building necessarily involves the installation of lighting. The direction of Japanese minimalism is quite rare in modern construction. Perhaps this is due to the low level of familiarity with this style.

Features of interior decoration

As a finishing material, the most a variety of materials:

• WPC panels.
• Decking.
• Plaster.
• Planken.
• Textured panels.

Choice building material depends solely on your preferences and financial capabilities. Materials can be easily combined in color and texture.

Internal layout

The main and central place of the house is always considered the living room. Minimalism is no exception. You can get into the living room directly from the threshold of the house or through the kitchen. A minimalist living room should have space, a minimum amount of furniture, a fireplace and a large aquarium.

There is also a kitchen and dining room on the ground floor. Often this is a combined room. Classic variant includes a terrace, which can be accessed via glass doors in the kitchen. Well, if on the terrace, it will be possible to equip the pool and recreation area.

The second floor should consist only of bedrooms. The number of rooms is built depending on the number of residents.

It is allowed for houses in the style of minimalism to arrange and build an attic. It can become a full-fledged lounge, office or guest bedroom. Exit to the terrace or winter garden also refers to minimalism.

In minimalism, they rarely appear one-story houses, but such options can be built. To maintain style, it is important not to deviate from the requirements for color, shapes and materials.

For interior design, it is important to use modern furniture made from natural wood. Upholstery upholstered furniture should also be from natural materials.

Furniture should be:

• Functional.
• Convenient.
• Practical.
• Elegant.

For walls it is better to choose light color schemes, but it is better to choose a contrasting floor covering. Harmoniously with light plaster on the wall looks brown wood floor, ceramic tile, natural gray laminate. It is extremely rare to acquire linoleum, but it is practically incompatible with the minimalist style.

It is practically unacceptable to use different textures and bright colors. The color scheme consists of gray, brown, cream and white shades.

Quite often, marble is found in interior design. It is good to use it in the bathroom and in the kitchen. Marble tiles can also be used by the pool, in the hallway.

• It is desirable that the decoration of walls and floors includes the use of natural wood, wood or plaster.
• Minimalism requires the use of abundant glazing. Glass partitions look good. If desired, they can be decorated with various materials.
• The rooms are different high ceilings and wide area.
• Choose high and massive lamps, they will also visually emphasize the height of the walls.

Correct style accents will create lighting. Well, if it is located at different levels. For this, they are used plasterboard ceilings, niches in the walls, spot lighting. Minimalism is round and flat chandeliers, as well as wall sconces.

Conclusion

Minimalist houses are unique buildings that are in harmony with nature. Such houses easily fit into any landscape projects. The facade of the house can be the most diverse, but the use of natural materials is considered the most correct and harmonious.

Internal space, direct sunlight, and lack of pretentiousness will create a wonderful project for a country house. Have you already come up with your project in the style of minimalism? Share your impressions in the comments, and don't forget to watch the video in this article.

If you want to express gratitude, add a clarification or objection, ask the author something - add a comment or say thanks!

Minimalism is one of the trends in architecture and design, which is gradually gaining popularity in Russia. Laconic, "easy" for perception and life, minimalism is more typical for business-class houses. Simple shapes, a flat roof, a minimum of decorative elements, a combination of light plaster and wood are perhaps the main criteria by which you can recognize a house in the minimalist style. Most interesting projects presented in our collection.

Project of a house with two spacious terraces ""

The light facade of the residential part of the house is tinted with a gray block technical premises. At first sight simple elements finishes thanks to the combination different materials(textures), levels and lighting (in the dark) create a unique image of the project, focused on living a family of 3-4 people.

On the second floor there is a master bedroom with an area of ​​22.27 sq.m. with its own dressing room and two children's rooms of 15.71 sq.m. Each room has access to spacious terraces, which in the warm season can become a continuation of the house: here you can take out a children's play and sports area, place sun loungers and couch for family tea parties.

House project for a narrow section ""

Finished project in modern style minimalism for a narrow area - a rarity. In this case, on an area of ​​198 sq.m. managed to arrange a spacious kitchen with an "island", a living-dining room, a garage for 2 cars and 3 bedrooms, the main one of which is 20.1 sq.m. has its own dressing room (5.3 sq.m.) and bathroom (7 sq.m.), as well as access to a spacious terrace (42.9 sq.m.). The latter is located above the garage, has a rectangular shape and is not limited to a canopy in the basic project, which means that it can easily compensate for the lack of plot area. Here you can put a children's pool, a trampoline, "close" the perimeter with small thujas and create that very private corner that will definitely not be visible to neighbors.

Project of a house with a fitness zone ""

Houses made in the style of minimalism are characterized by high functionality of layouts. The absence of bay windows and other architectural delights that form complex shapes interior spaces, allows all rooms to be used as efficiently as possible. Moreover, it is in minimalistic style projects that even a non-architect can easily "see" the design principle "from particular to general", when, in accordance with the life scenario of a particular family, a harmonious inner space, and only then the facade is equipped.

Project of a house with a winter garden ""

The first thing that distinguishes the project from analogues in the style of minimalism is a large glass area: it gives airiness to the house and allows you to harmoniously fit into any countryside environment that will be reflected in the windows on the facade. Fully glazed winter garden on the second floor with an area of ​​28.1 sq.m. located on the second floor above the garage and serves as the basis for this concept.

The project of a one-story house ""

The project of the house in warm colors is designed on one level and does not even have an attic. All 3 bedrooms, a kitchen (16.4 sq.m.) with a storage room (6.1 sq.m.), a dining-living room (58 sq.m.) with a fireplace, a garage for 2 cars and two bathrooms are located on the square 206 sq.m. A large terrace overlooks the backyard, where you can drink coffee in the morning and have a candlelit dinner in the evening.

Project of a house with a pool ""

Two-storey house with an area of ​​463 sq.m. designed in such a way that a small pool can be easily placed in the courtyard. And although in Russia not every summer pleases with constant warm weather, some customers not only lead a sports lifestyle up to swimming in the hole, but can also afford such a luxury as their own swimming pool on the site, under open sky.

The project of a three-story house ""

Alicante is one of the few projects of two- and three-story business class houses, where two separate rooms are designed on the ground floor at once, which can be used as a bedroom for the older generation, a guest room, an office, a gym or extra room recreation for family members. Three more bedrooms are located on the second floor, and one of them (the master's room) has its own bathroom, individual dressing room and, most importantly, access to a spacious loggia.

Project of a house with a fitness room ""

Light spacious modern house in the style of minimalism with radius walls, an abundance of columns, terraces, non-standard windows and other subtle decorative frills that form the overall look of the cottage. A project with high-quality 3D visualization is one thing, but photographs of a built house are quite another. You can see the implementation of the project by clicking on .

The project of a one-story house ""

The project of a 4-bedroom house with a garage for 2 cars, a kitchen-living room with a bar counter is located on an area of ​​203 sq.m. Compact and without internal stairs, the project will appeal to older families.

Project of a house with a garage for 2 cars ""

The original decoration of the main facade is an internal staircase to the second floor, the glazing and illumination of which create the image of a "lighthouse in the night". The abundance of balconies and a spacious terrace, an open-air pool and a snow-white tone in the facade decoration make the house look like a resort. Elegant and festive, functional and individual - the project will be in demand by lovers of minimalism who follow trends in architecture.

All projects of houses in the style of minimalism can be viewed.

Minimalism in architecture is gaining more and more popularity in recent years. Its main idea is functionality and conciseness, rejection of excesses, heaps of details, pretentiousness. To some, it seems too cold and uncomfortable, while others, on the contrary, appreciate it for its originality and simplicity. Houses in the style of minimalism do not require expensive finishes, but at the same time they always look spectacular and expressive, and also fit perfectly into the natural landscape.

Minimalism has a lot in common with styles such as hi-tech and loft:

• the predominance of straight strict lines and regular shapes;
• conciseness in decoration;
• large glazing area;
• restrained colors;
• spacious interior layout.

Such houses are very different from traditional residential buildings in their appearance, and therefore they are chosen mainly by people who are creative, self-confident, not prone to hoarding and appreciating personal space. Despite the conciseness of the buildings, the development of projects requires an impeccable sense of style and high skill from the architect - without this, create an attractive atmosphere in similar design will not work.

Architecture

Architecturally, these houses are very diverse. There are structures in the form of large cubes, elongated parallelepipeds, complex structures from several modules. Buildings are characterized by different levels, the presence of niches and ledges, and asymmetry. Roofs are most often flat or gable without overhangs and also asymmetrical. The presence of open terraces is welcome, and it can be located on several sides of the house at once or encircle it with a narrow ribbon. The foundation is usually low, the plinth, if present, has a discreet monochromatic finish.

materials

Traditionally, minimalism combines natural and artificial materials - wood, concrete, glass, stone, metal. Brick is widely used for building walls. concrete blocks, frame steel structures, as well as aerated concrete and ceramic blocks. Finishing materials are also quite diverse: for outer cladding planken is applied, composite panels, artificial and a natural stone, ceramic tiles, corrugated board. In most projects, these materials are combined with white or light-colored plaster. For roofing, the most common option is PVC membranes and corrugated board.

Window

How more area glazing, the better. Many projects include panoramic windows, glass partitions and walls, there are options with glazed gables and roofs. If this simple windows, then they should be larger than standard ones, with a minimum number of jumpers, or even without them at all. The shape of the windows is only rectangular, no arches, round or figured openings. There are also no platbands, shutters, figured lattices, stained-glass windows and any other decor. The maximum that is allowed is tinted windows from the sun and the presence of roller shutters.

Color design

Minimalism is characterized by muted colors close to natural: warm woody, sandy, beige, dark green. But the basis of the palette is white and gray, which are present in almost every project. The colors are combined in various options, as a rule, 2-3 shades in one house, although monochrome finishes are also common. Bright colors and contrasting combinations are unacceptable here, even as an accent.

Varieties of minimalism

The ideas of minimalism gained popularity very quickly, but even many supporters of the style consider it too strict and cold. Thanks to attempts to make it more comfortable, two directions arose at once - soft minimalism and eco-minimalism.

Soft minimalism is characterized by softer lines, warm tones and pleasant textures. There are still the same restrained forms and lack of decor, but the house seems much more comfortable and attractive. The decoration is dominated by wood, stone and plaster in the most different combinations, as well as metal and plastic with imitation of natural textures. basis color palette are beige, sand and white colors, which are shaded in dark gray and dark brown.

Eco-minimalism involves the use of natural, environmentally friendly clean materials for the construction and decoration of houses. The basis is natural stone and wood various breeds, and complement them decorative plaster, ceramics, glass. Solar panels are often installed on the roofs of such houses and green lawns are created. Buildings in the style of eco-minimalism are in perfect harmony with the surrounding landscape, and the color scheme additionally includes delicate shades of emerald green, light green, and pale blue.

There are two more interesting varieties of style - Scandinavian and Japanese minimalism. They fully comply general concept, but at the same time they have unique ethnic features. In Scandinavian minimalism, colorful elements and more contrasting combinations are allowed; wood of various textures predominates in the decoration. Because of this scandinavian houses seem more comfortable even in such an ascetic design.

Japanese minimalism is characterized by very simple shapes and monochrome finishes. Residential buildings are very compact, correct rectangular shape. Zoning is done with wood paneling, partitions made of glass, lath finishes made of metal. Colors: white, dark gray, all shades of wood. When constructing such buildings important role allocated to the backlight, which is mounted around the perimeter of the openings, eaves overhangs, the bottom of the walls.

Minimalist home decoration

For finishing in a minimalist style, you can use a wide variety of materials: planken, WPC panels, corrugated board, plaster, textured fiber concrete panels and others. The choice depends only on your financial capabilities and preferences. One of the most practical options is to combine concrete surface and wood paneling.

An example of a combination of wood paneling with plastered surfaces

Most residences are made of brick or block, not concrete, so to get the right texture, you need to choose a finish that mimics concrete. Thanks to the diversity modern materials, it will not be difficult to do this. For example, consider the facade cladding with Knauf cement aquapanels and finishing with concrete-like plaster.

Facade cement panels are already finished base for any finish. They are used in the arrangement of ventilated facades, they are distinguished by a perfectly flat surface, so that the walls do not need to be carefully leveled for painting or plastering. These panels are mesh-reinforced sheets with a core of Portland cement and light mineral filler.

Technical characteristics of aquapanels

Concrete-like stucco is very often used in minimalist, hi-tech and loft finishes. It is great for outdoor work, as it is resistant to moisture and high frost resistance. The most popular brands: Loft-Beton, Novacolor, Concret Art, Prof Decor.

Preparatory stage

The first step is to dismantle the gutters, cornices, platbands, facade decor, if any. After that, the walls are inspected for damage, the quality of the old coating is checked. If the house was plastered, and there are no visible defects on the surface, you need to lightly tap on the plaster with a hammer: ringing sound- the coating is strong and reliable, deaf - everything needs to be cleaned and plastered again. Masonry joints necessarily treated with a steel brush to identify possible voids.

Further, the detected defects are eliminated using cement mortar: embroider and close cracks, fill empty seams, recesses and chips on the surface. Small protrusions and tubercles are easy to remove with a grinder with a grinding nozzle. After the repair mortar has dried, the walls are cleaned of dust and a primer is applied. If the walls absorb too quickly, it will be necessary to prime in 2-3 layers to provide high-quality protection against moisture.

Lathing installation

Aquapanels are attached to the crate, so there is no need to additionally level the walls with plaster. After the primer layer has dried, you can immediately begin to install the guides. Both metal profiles and wooden beam. When choosing the second option, make sure that the lumber does not have serious defects and is well dried.

Step 1. At the corner of the wall, mark a vertical line with a plumb line and mark on it the attachment points of the guides every 40 cm. The same marking is performed on the opposite corner of the wall.

Step 2 Holes are drilled according to the marking, dust is blown out, dowels are inserted. Next, the first timber is applied to the wall, baited with self-tapping screws, set vertically, if necessary, using wooden linings. After making sure that the beam is located correctly, fix it with self-tapping screws until it stops. The second corner beam is also mounted.

Step 3 A cord is pulled along the top and bottom edges between the corner guides to make it easier to align the remaining elements of the crate. Intermediate bars fastened in increments of 50 cm. Having completed the installation of the crate, the verticality of the structure is checked again to avoid distortions of the skin.

Panel fixing

For the installation of aquapanels, you will need galvanized self-tapping screws, a level, a screwdriver, mounting spacers 3-5 mm thick. You can cut the material with a jigsaw, circular saw and even with a mounting knife, since the panels are cut quite easily.

Step 1. The first panel is applied in width to the crate from the corner, leveled along the bottom edge, then horizontally. They are screwed to the bars with screws in increments of 25 cm - first they are fixed in the center, then they move to the edges.

Step 2 When installing the second panel, be sure to leave a gap of 3 to 5 mm wide, for convenience, you can insert a piece wooden lath appropriate thickness. All subsequent panels are attached in the same way.

Installation of aquapanel sheets

Advice. If the last sheet needs to be cut, it is laid on flat surface, mark the cut line with a pencil, apply a level or a flat rail to it and draw it with a knife edge with effort. Having cut the reinforcing layer on the front side, the panel is broken along the formed edge and the mesh is cut on the reverse side.

Step 3 Begin the installation of the second row. The vertical seams in the covering must not match, so the first panel must be cut in half. Spacers are placed between the top and bottom panels so that the width of the seams over the entire area remains the same.

Step 4 Near the openings, the panels are fastened end-to-end with window frames and window sill. The material should fit snugly on the cuts, the presence of through gaps in the openings is unacceptable.

Step 5 Having completed the wall cladding, they begin to seal the joints with a plaster-adhesive mixture (for example, Bolars ARMIBOND, Osnovit Kaverpliks, KNAUF-Sevener). The dry composition is diluted in water, thoroughly mixed with a mixer and applied with a spatula along the seams. The solution is applied in a thick layer, pressing into the gaps between the panels, the excess is removed.

Step 6 They take a reinforcing fiberglass mesh with cells of 3.5x3.5 mm, cut it into strips 7-8 cm wide and put it on top of the solution so that the seam is located in the center of the strip. Then, the solution is again collected with a spatula, applied to the grid and distributed in an even layer, thoroughly rubbing over the surface. The recesses from the caps of the screws are also sealed with a small amount of glue.

Step 7 The corners of the facade, as well as door and window openings, are reinforced with a special corner with a mesh: a mortar is applied to the corner on both sides, a corner is placed on top, leveled and pressed into the glue, and the mesh is pressed and smoothed with a spatula.

Step 8 Finally, the adhesive solution is applied as a continuous thin layer over the entire skin surface. Since the solution dries quickly, it is most convenient to process the wall in squares. The glue is applied, leveled, a reinforcing mesh is laid on top and smoothed with a spatula from the center to the edges, sinking the mesh into the solution by 1/3 of the layer thickness. Adjacent pieces of mesh must be overlapped by a few centimeters.

After the surface dries, the walls are treated with a grater with an emery cloth. This will eliminate small bumps, streaks, traces of the spatula. Then the dust is brushed away with a brush and the facade is covered with a primer.

Finishing

This stage is the most creative, and therefore requires maximum diligence and accuracy. The finished surface should have a characteristic concrete texture, color and shallow relief. Imitation of roughly processed or aged concrete is inappropriate here, such a texture is more suitable for a loft style.

Step 1. The plaster mixture is prepared: in the proportions indicated on the package, dry ingredients are mixed with water, at low speeds, mix the mass with a mixer until smooth.

Step 2 Gather the composition on a spatula and distribute it on the wall in an even layer. The application thickness is equal to the thickness of the filler grain. The spatula is kept at the same angle to the surface all the time and the solution is distributed with the same force. Try not to leave traces of the tool and do not return to the sections already covered.

Step 3 When the base layer dries, knead a new portion of the solution and distribute it over the surface in the same way. As soon as the mass begins to set, take a plastic or metal grater and form a texture, rubbing the plaster with effort in a circular motion.

Step 4 After drying, the coating is treated with fine-grained sandpaper, cleaned of dust and covered with a special varnish for stone or water repellent.

As a result of this treatment, the walls will look like polished concrete, which is fully consistent with the minimalist style. For contrast, you can highlight the front area in white by painting the surface. If the house is large, there may be several such zones, the main thing is that the selected zones have a strict rectangular shape.
