Located in a brick house, it is important to determine which walls are load-bearing, or, in other words, those that take the load from other parts of the building.
What should not be done when remodeling brick houses?
Unlike panel houses, in buildings built of brick, there are few load-bearing walls. These are, first of all, the outer walls, and one or two walls in the center of the apartment or column. It is impossible to demolish such walls; it is only possible to make openings. Otherwise, the building may collapse.
When carrying out redevelopment in an apartment of a brick house, you cannot:
- attach a loggia or balcony to a living space by completely dismantling part outer wall(only dismantling the window sill with the installation of sliding partitions is allowed);
- carry out redevelopments affecting the ventilation system and plumbing communications.
What can be changed in the apartment layout?
Despite the presence of restrictions, it is in brick houses that there are ample opportunities for redevelopment. For example, you can combine a bath, toilet and part of the corridor, making one spacious bathroom, or combine the living room with part of the corridor and one of the rooms, increasing its area.
When remodeling apartments in a brick house, you can replace load-bearing walls sliding partitions, modeling space, expand or move doorways.
What rooms of the apartment can be combined during redevelopment?
You can combine the kitchen with the living room by removing the wall between them. And finally, you can turn the apartment into a studio by combining the kitchen, part of the corridor and the living room. It should be remembered that one room in the apartment must be isolated and have daylight, and its area should not be less than nine meters.>
When remodeling, combining the kitchen and living room is allowed only in brick houses that are not connected to the main gas. Despite the fact that there is no consensus on this issue, in the vast majority of cases, in houses built of brick and having a central gas supply, it is prohibited to carry out redevelopments in which the kitchen is attached to the living space. In this case, the only way to increase the kitchen area is to attach part of the corridor to it.
What is subject to agreement
If it is necessary to change the position of non-load-bearing walls, increasing or decreasing the area of living premises, you need to coordinate the redevelopment using a simple sketch. If desired, change the area non-residential premises, for example, a kitchen, you will have to draw up a project.

Redevelopment of apartments in brick houses is fundamentally different from redevelopment in buildings with other wall materials. Often, the owner of an apartment in a brick building can afford to design much more interesting planning solutions than the owners of apartments in panel, block and frame series of houses. It's connected with design features Houses.
The main load-bearing structures in brick houses are the outer walls on which the floor slabs rest. Sometimes the “middle” wall in the house will also serve as a load-bearing wall. She will usually share two apartments. Most interior walls- simple partitions, also made of brick or foam concrete blocks. This is the main difference from, for example, panel or block houses, in which most of the internal walls are load-bearing and the complete dismantling of one of them will inevitably lead to an emergency.
Options for redevelopment of an apartment in a brick house
Planning solutions when remodeling apartments in brick houses, as we have already said, they can be very diverse. For example, you can afford the luxury of organizing a large kitchen-dining room by completely dismantling the wall separating the kitchen and the adjacent room. In this case, the resulting room is called a kitchen-living room. You can also organize studio apartments that are so fashionable these days; it won’t be difficult to expand the bathroom and toilet, but this can only be done at the expense of non-residential premises.However, you should be careful. Each house is individual and the owner of an apartment cannot always accurately determine the type of walls and even the type of his house. In our practice, there were cases when the owners, thinking that the house was brick, made significant changes in internal layout apartments, although in fact the house was panel and for improvement appearance and thermal characteristics, the outside is lined with brick (for example, the P44T, P44M series, etc.) Let's consider several redevelopments in a brick house, projects for which our company has developed.
Here is one of the clear examples of the advantages of remodeling an apartment in a brick house - the walls between the rooms can be easily dismantled to form a huge living room. At the same time, all construction activities do not go beyond the standards established by SNiPs and joint ventures.
Unlike the option described above, the redevelopment was designed to create openings in the interior partitions, without complete dismantling; also in this example you can see how part of the corridor is connected to a combined bathroom.
This project differs from previous ones in that the number of living rooms in the apartment. This often occurs when remodeling a brick house, since the area of the rooms fits into the standards for the minimum area of premises. You can find other options for remodeling an apartment in a brick house in this section; it is likely that you will find an apartment of your type.
The procedure for approving redevelopments is the same for all premises, and the redevelopment of apartments in brick houses based on the principle of approval is no different from others. In case of minor redevelopment, you can most likely agree on the “sketch” version, which is also called the notification version. If the redevelopment is more global (when load-bearing walls are affected, or the bathroom is expanded), then it will most likely be coordinated according to the “project”. To do this, you first need to develop a technical report on the possibility of redevelopment of the apartment and then the redevelopment project itself. Typical representatives of houses of such series are some series of "Khrushchev" made of brick, "Brezhnevka" and individual series of the 70-80s.
When remodeling apartments in brick houses, problems also arise technical nature. Houses of these series are often classified as old housing stock and it is not always possible to obtain the desired layout due to limitations on the load-bearing capacity of the structures.
In connection with the development of "monolithic" construction, brick houses faded into the background. However, recently the construction of brick houses is becoming more and more important. Basically, these houses are positioned as elite and this is not without reason. Citizens who have bought apartments in such buildings rarely complain about a bad purchase, because brick is a beautiful, environmentally friendly and durable material.
