Owners of small plots of land can pay attention to projects with an attic or one-story buildings. These options are also optimal for owners with limited budget. A terrace or veranda will allow you to increase your living space.
If you can invest a lot of money, it is worth taking a closer look at 8x8 two-story houses. The living quarters can then be redesigned. This building will be an ideal solution for a large family.
During construction, it is worthwhile to position colonnades, bay windows and other decorative elements correctly and sparingly. Narrow corridors It's better not to do it. They reduce usable area.
Today thanks modern projects you can play with the following details when building a house:
- Number, sizes and shape of windows.
- The use not of wood and brick, but of other materials, varied in their properties and qualities, for the construction of walls and roofs.
- Original design.
One-story house 8 by 8 - layout
Let it be the layout of an 8 by 8 house with one floor for a family with two children. Parents and children will need two bedrooms, keeping in mind that as the children grow older they will need desks for studying. A child's bedroom should be larger than an adult's, and it will no longer be quite a bedroom, but simply a multifunctional room.
For an adult bedroom with one window you will need at least 12 sq.m., for a children's room with two windows - 18 sq.m. m. In the children's room, in addition to sleeping places and work tables, it will be possible to place multifunctional wardrobes. It will be possible to allocate 20 square meters for the hall, then 14 square meters will remain for such important rooms as the kitchen, bathroom and corridor. It is customary to place the kitchen closer to the entrance, so there can be three exits from the corridor (also known as the hallway): one into shared bathroom, the other - into the kitchen, and the third - into the walk-through living room (hall). But if you want to make the bedrooms located further away from each other, you can vary them. Often one of the children, when he grows up, moves into the living room.
Having distributed the footage in this way, think about which rooms’ windows will go where. This will have to be done before construction begins. Since there is no sun on the north side, there may be a parents' bedroom and an entrance to the house with a corridor. The nursery can be located on the western side, since in the morning the children are first at school, then at the university, and so on. All that remains is to figure out the kitchen and living room. The kitchen may well face the east, the living room will remain south, and if your house is in a southern area, an air conditioner will need to be installed in the living room; if you live in Siberia or the north, also take into account the wind rose. It is better that constant winds are directed towards the roof slope, which reduces its windage.
Two-story house 8 by 8 - layout
If you can afford it two-storey house, each person can have a separate room, and bedrooms are traditionally located on the second floor, concentrating utility rooms (boiler room, wardrobe, bathroom, hallway, etc.) on the first floor, as well as a living room and kitchen.
The bedrooms on the second floor can be separated from each other by a dressing room (in a house with two children, two dressing rooms are in order) and part of the hall, to which a staircase will lead from the corridor of the first floor. You can make a third bedroom, and each of the children will live separately, and if grandparents arrive, someone will have to make room.
But the “crowding” in a two-story house is much more nice thing than in a one-story one. In addition, part of the area can be allocated for a terrace, at the top of which there will be a balcony, at the bottom - the entrance to the building.
Standards and additional features
In a two-story house it is much easier to comply with the standards, according to which each person must have at least 8 square meters. The optimal shape of the rooms should be such that the ratio of length and width is two to three, with a room depth of no more than six and a half meters, since beyond this natural sources poorly illuminate the room.
Many designers claim that during construction two-story house you can “save”, because the roof dimensions are the same for both a one-story and a two-story building. In addition, if the house begins to acquire extensions, this will occur due to a reduction in the area of the garden plot.
At the same time, experienced parents argue that children grow up, move away, and the big house is empty, requiring unnecessary energy consumption. It is not possible to determine who is right because each family has different circumstances.
There is always such an “intermediate” plan as construction one-story house 8 by 8 with an attic, the area of which will be smaller than the area of the second floor, however, it will be larger than the area of a one-story house, and a third bedroom in the attic is a very attractive solution. Alternatively, you can choose a two-story house with an attic, which in terms of volume construction work little more than the construction of a two-story house. In this case, a library can be located in the attic, Gym, billiard room. This option is discussed and decided by all family members. Maybe someone will decide that this is the place for an elite dovecote! Everyone has the right to make their dreams come true!
House with terrace
An outdoor terrace can be built without high heating costs. At the same time, the owner receives an additional room where he can relax comfortably. If desired, the terrace can be glazed and even equipped with a heating system.

A budget and practical option would be to choose a one-story house, the plan of which is easier and faster to draw up than.

The living room is equipped with a fireplace that fits well into it, which will allow you to spend long winter evenings on the sofa contemplating the crackling firewood in it. The house has three independent rooms of 11 to 12 square meters each, which can be used as bedrooms and children's rooms. All of them are conveniently located in different parts of the house, which allows you to separate the bedroom and children's rooms, as well as allocate one room for a study or an additional bedroom. The bathroom is paired and can be accessed directly from the kitchen, which is very convenient when leaving any room in the house.

Plans for 8 by 14 house projects from the Z500 company and erroneous opinions about them
The development of house projects as an industry is developing quite actively. At the same time, the number of false opinions regarding European projects is growing rapidly. Our company’s projects have also become overgrown with many myths on the Internet. We will try to dispel the most popular ones in this article.
Myth 1: the European cottage project 8 by 14 does not take into account Russian building standards
Our company is guided by the main rule - adapting Z500 projects to the requirements of construction legislation. Likewise, for Russia, all European projects of private houses are brought into compliance with current SNiPs relating to engineering, architectural and constructive solutions.
Myth 2: a ready-made 8 by 14 house plan cannot be adjusted
The Z500 company has all the necessary qualified specialists (architects, design engineers, designers) who can easily make changes to the projects chosen by the client, since they have all the initial information.
Myth 3: ordering an individual or original project is more profitable than buying a standard one and making changes to it
Our company employs all the necessary specialists who, if it is necessary to adjust the project chosen by the client, will do this at a reasonable price. They will also make all changes to the design documentation. That is, there is no need to attract external architects and designers, which can significantly increase the cost estimate for creating a project.
Myth 4: the foundation of the house was designed for a different soil category
The foundation laid in standard project, can not be implemented on every soil. That’s why we adapt the foundation, taking into account the individual characteristics of the soil.
Myth 5: there is no detailing of nodes in projects
That’s right, in the original European projects there is no detailing of individual components, since experienced builders are required to have knowledge of elementary components even without clarification in the project.
Myth 6: house 8 by 14 - the project does not include stairs
Our projects don't really have a staircase section because most builders prefer to make this structure out of wood. Therefore, there is no need to make calculations for a concrete staircase, which increase the cost of construction.
Myth 7: The boiler room does not meet standards
Indeed, not every layout of 8 by 14 houses posted on the site meets Russian requirements for the placement of a boiler room, since almost all projects are a copy of the Polish version. But when adapting projects, we make all the necessary adjustments to the parameters of the boiler room, in accordance with Russian standards.
Myth 8: after purchasing a residential cottage project, you cannot ask clarifying questions
We always provide our clients with the opportunity to receive qualified advice regarding the content of projects.
Myth 9: architectural projects developed 5 or more years ago do not correspond to modern technical solutions
All cottage projects are periodically checked by specialists for compliance with current construction standards, the requirements of rationality and comfort, as well as technological innovations.
Myth 10: 8 by 14 house project plans are not suitable for construction
Our company has been operating on the market for quite a long time. And during this time, in various cities of the country, our partners have implemented the most various projects houses 8 by 14, photos and videos of which, as a sign of confirmation of this, are posted in the “Realization” section of the website.
