Standards for the construction of buildings on the garden plot. Plot layout

We make an analysis of our possessions, arrange objects according to SNiP, keep distances, make dignity out of shortcomings.

The beginning of such stories is always good: the owner stands at the border of his possessions and dreams of what kind of paradise he will create here. The estate can be rectangular or L-shaped, or narrow, or rounded, or it’s not clear at all - the owner has no doubt that there will be something beautiful here. And if you think it over well, “measure seven times”, and then build and plant, then it will be so. In this article, we will look at how to plan everything correctly, how to arrange buildings on the site, and dwell on the following points in detail:

• How to do an analysis.
• What to place on the site.
• What percentage of total area should occupy: a house, a garden, outbuildings and a recreation area.
• What should be the distance between objects on the site.
• Where should the house be, how to place buildings.

How to do an analysis

Here are several layout options for country estates of various shapes, made by a FORUMHOUSE participant, a landscape designer Alexander Zhukov. As already mentioned, with the correct placement of objects, you can make a “sweetie” from anyone.

It is also very important to choose the design time. In the May-October season, landscapers have a lot of work, so the project timeline increases significantly. The most optimal period is November-March. In a calm atmosphere, slowly, thinking, we are doing a project.

But whether you plan on your own or invite specialists, the very first step towards a future plan is as follows: we draw the shape of the plots on a graph paper sheet and schematically mark the surroundings: “forest”, “neighbors”, “road”, etc.

Anton Lyubavin FORUMHOUSE member

First of all, we must find out the boundaries of the site and see it on a piece of paper - preferably on graph paper with a real scale. So that you can draw everything with the help of a pencil and a ruler, turn on your imagination.

We can begin further work on the plan when we know our possessions like the back of our hand. Having made an analysis, we will be able not to make offensive mistakes and provide for the location of objects on the site in the most suitable places for them.

It is usually recommended to closely study satellite imagery and spend several days in a row on a new site in order to understand where the sun rises and sets, where the wind usually blows from, how the neighbors' house is located, whether the place that you have chosen as a recreation area is located directly under their windows, does the shadow of neighboring outbuildings fall on your future garden, etc.

Also, for a full analysis, you will have to:

1. Determine the relief.

You will need information about the direction and size of the slope, and in most cases you can do without high technology and referrals to specialists. The slope level can be determined using a camera tripod and a Chinese laser pointer. The topic on FORUMHOUSE explains in detail the technology of the site with your own hands and improvised tools.

Skissa

At the prompt of the members of the forum, together with my husband, they stupidly measured everything with a tape measure. As for the height differences - and it was immediately clear to me where the top is, where the bottom is. The slope was gentle. Measured by eye with a laser pointer, drew a line on the plan.

These lines on the plan will give us an idea of ​​where the streams of melt and storm water will go, where the soil will warm up best, where it is better to place buildings and where to set up beds.

A cozy southern slope is a real gift for an amateur gardener, it is the southern slope that is the best place for growing most fruit and ornamental crops. The northern slopes warm up the worst, usually such a land plot is terraced, with terraces sloping from west to east. If there is a need for drainage, open side ditches are made along the terraces, where water can be directed.

It is better to place the house in the upper part of the slope and so that the shadow from it does not fall on the future garden or vegetable garden.

Absolutely flat, like a table, the earth, rather a minus than a plus.

The optimal slope is 0.04% (at least 4 cm per 10 meters).

Therefore, on a flat land plot, an artificial relief is most often created with a southern, eastern or western slope. The slope is made using soil from foundation pits, pits for a pond, pool, well, etc. removes excess water from the foundations of buildings and does not deprive the garden and garden of moisture.

2. Determine the level of groundwater.

Vitanik

If there is no desire / opportunity to order geology, then take a garden drill (preferably two meters) and drill in the right place. Choose the soil and see where the water is (it may not go right away). Well, by the cut, you can handicraftly determine what kind of soil you have.

In the spring, the information on GWL obtained by these methods will be unreliable, it is better to conduct drilling operations in July and August. If the distance from the soil surface to the water level is less than a meter, you will need drainage measures. Since one of better ways optimization - the construction of an artificial reservoir, put it on the plan of your land plot with approximate dimensions.

3. Determine the composition of the soil.

We talked about how to make simple tests at home that will give you pretty accurate information. You will need this information when planning landings.

4. If you already have trees and shrubs, indicate in the plan which ones you will leave.

Large trees in the north side do not cast a shadow on cultivated plants and protect plantings from the wind. It is not recommended to remove them.

5. Learn how your property is illuminated by the sun- this will help you to correctly arrange the buildings, choose the plants and design the greenhouse.

Distances and dimensions: what to build on the site

One of the most common planning mistakes is having too much floor space. When starting to build a house, find out from the table what area it should occupy on a private plot (other objects and zones).

According to the current SNiP 30-02-97, the distance between the main buildings on your site (as well as yours and neighboring ones) and their location should be as follows:

Distance between houses in a straight line:

• between brick houses- 6 meters;
• between houses with a metal frame and wooden rafters - 8 meters;
• between wooden houses- 15 meters;
• your house must be at least three meters away from the border of neighbors;
• from the "red line" - at least 5 meters;
• from trees not subject to demolition - at least 2.5 meters;
• from power lines - from 10 m (for a 20 kV line) to 40 m (for a 750 kV line).

Distance from home to outbuildings(they are advisory in nature and allow minor errors, which are still better to avoid and plan everything well so as not to complicate the possible sale of the building in the future).

Calculated in a straight line from the outer wall of the house:

• before outdoor toilet-12-15 meters;
• to the bath or shower - 8 meters;
• to the chicken coop, rabbitry and other premises for keeping pets -12-15 meters;
• to the compost pit - 8 meters or more;
• the minimum distance from the house to any of the other outbuildings is 4 meters.

Distance between objects:

• it is forbidden to dig a well next to the fence;
• the recommended distance from the well to the compost pit and toilet is 20 meters; SNIPs do not regulate, but for your safety it is better to adhere to the same standards for an artesian well.

Distance to neighbors:

• barn with animals - 4 meters;
• bath, shower, toilet - 2.5-3.5 meters;
• garage, storage room with inventory - at least 1 meter.

The optimal distance from your buildings to the neighboring plot is 3 meters. If you plan everything taking into account these distances, you will not shade the neighboring land, your neighbors will not get wastewater, there will be fewer conflicts.

Placement of objects on the site: bushes and trees

The distance from the fence to landings on a private plot is also regulated:

• bushes - 1 m from the fence;
• medium-sized trees - 2 meters;
• tall trees - 4 meters.

How to properly arrange objects on the site

The house is the most important object on the site, and the first thing we choose a place for it. In addition to observing all the distances provided for by SNiPs, it is necessary to choose a place with a sufficiently low GWL (it can be different within the site) in order to protect the foundation from flooding.

The correct location of buildings on the site.

Another rule that will allow you to choose a good place for a house is called the “rule of edges”: the smaller the plot, the closer the house should be to its border. Small area - we put the house as close to one of the side borders as SNiPs allow, and effectively use the rest of the area.

Mfcn Member FORUMHOUSE

We must try to locate the house along the borders. The reason for this placement of buildings on the site is uncertainty. What if you want to settle down or put a greenhouse next to it, or, finally, the equipment to drive through during construction.

Do not forget about the compass: if we put the house on the northwestern edge, the sun will illuminate the garden and vegetable garden for most of the day. If in the northeast - the site will get afternoon sunlight. From the point of view of orientation to the cardinal points, these are the most successful options; in other cases, a shadow from the house will fall on the landings.

The diagram below will help you figure out how the rooms in the house should be located relative to the cardinal points (planning recommendations for the north and center of Russia).

Tracy FORUMHOUSE Member

If the presence of the sun in the premises is not so important, then you can build without looking at it, but usually they don’t do this, you want comfort and light in the house.

Also, when locating the house, one should take into account: the wind rose (to protect the site from the wind as much as possible), the planned location of the septic tank and the well.

How to place other buildings

Many FORUMHOUSE experts pointed out the main and defining difference of life in country house from life in an apartment: in a country house we live not only in a house. Perhaps even more time than at home, we spend in the garden, in the sauna, in the workshop, caring for plants in the greenhouse and frying meat in the barbecue area. The location of objects on the site must be functional and correct! After all, if it turns out that the garage is heated by melt water every spring, the greenhouse is in the shade of large trees, the terrace of the bath is clearly visible to passers-by from the street, the quality of life will be reduced.

How to arrange buildings on the site

• the garage is usually placed either as an outhouse, under the same roof as the house, or, as far as regulatory documents allow, close to the border that is located next to the road;
• a barbecue area, a summer kitchen with an open dining terrace and other food-related buildings are made in the most secluded summer cottages;
• all farm buildings are placed as far as possible from the house and, if possible, not in the line of sight;
• it is better to build a bathhouse and a pool closer to the border, but so that neighbors and passers-by from the street do not bother.

A member of our portal with the nickname Irina7, here is a photo of her L-shaped area from the neighbors' balcony: a platform with a swimming pool in full view.

At first, she was going to fence herself off from her neighbors with four thujas Smaragds, planted at the end of the "long crossbar".

Plan of buildings on the site.

But then I decided not to wait until two-meter trees grow, and add privacy to the recreation area with a pool by building a screen.

Irina7

The advantages are obvious. I will block the review, add comfort and privacy to the place.

After you decide on the main building, future summer cottages and plantings and put these objects on your plan, do not be lazy and make a layout with paper buildings. This way, any flaws will be immediately visible.

NataliaM6

We did the project ourselves, at first just on paper, then a scale model made of paper. And I had to redraw it, because it turned out that if you place everything on the layout, then you know better where everything should be. Where the wall interferes, where it is better to make a window, etc. You can start building.

How to plan a garden

The garden and vegetable garden should get the sunniest place. Almost all plants love light and heat. When planning a place for a vegetable garden, a greenhouse and an orchard, it is important to correctly calculate the effort and time that we are willing to spend on caring for plants. It may turn out that your country option is a lawn, your individual apple tree and two decorative beds with tomatoes.

Planning your summer cottage is very interesting, because you can come up with a bunch of all sorts of interesting solutions.

In order to beautifully and efficiently ennoble the territory, you need to have some knowledge.

Our article will help you step by step to complete the basic work and decorate your site.

Where to begin?

Before starting work, you need to make a plan. Reflect your site on it, sketch its shape, display all the buildings and be sure to take into account the terrain, streams can flow in such areas.

Consider also the location of your territory, whether your house is located in a lowland or on a hill. If the cottage is built under a mountain and streams enter the site, then its arrangement will take a lot of time and effort.

The layout of the territory implies dividing it into zones, this is a residential area, a recreation area, a garden and outbuildings. For each building, you need to allocate a specific place and set the area.

The residential area, that is, your house, should take up about 25% of the space of the entire territory, the toilet, bathhouse and barn should fit in 15-17% of the area.

The largest place on the site, as always, is reserved for the garden, which means that you can plant and grow berries, fruit trees, your favorite flowers, build an artificial reservoir, build a gazebo, in general, make the territory beautiful and ennobled.

The first thing that is built on the site is, of course, a house. Everyone builds it in a different place, someone in the center, someone likes the house to occupy the first line, right after the gate.

A gazebo or terrace is built close to the house, closer to the garden, so that during the rest you can enjoy the fresh air and the aroma of trees. The playground is also placed closer to the gazebo, it can be at its level or behind it.

The toilet, bathhouse and shed should take place closer to the fence. In this case, they will remain invisible on the site and will not take up space.

There is no single type of landscaping for a summer cottage, since everyone has different territories both in size and shape. The standard lot type is a square or rectangle.

On their territory, summer residents are very fond of creating rockeries from stones, plants and a reservoir.

Site planning is a creative and interesting process, but in order to make the cottage cozy and beautiful, it will not be out of place to look at some of the work of landscape designers.

We draw a diagram

After you have decided on the place of buildings on the territory, mark them on paper and sketch them. So, you will visually facilitate your work, and you will surely imagine what to place where, namely:

• Where the house will stand, from which side of the site the entrance will be.
• Place for outbuildings.
• Where will you put the gazebo and playground.
• Track direction.
• Place for flower beds and a pond.
• Communications.

Strictly observing the sequence of buildings, the main place on the site belongs to the house, then we build a garage, sheds, a bathhouse and a toilet.

Lastly, we choose a place for a gazebo, a barbecue area, a summer shower, etc. The garden and vegetable garden is given enough space, depending on what you plan to plant there.

Layout of the site depending on the size

Depending on how many acres the suburban area occupies, the location of the buildings should be designed.

If the plot is not more than 6 acres, then with proper zoning of the territory, you can build everything you need. A house on such a site will turn out no more than 20-25 square meters. m., parking - about 7 sq. m., garden - no more than 100 sq. m.

If your plot is large, from 12 to 15 acres, then this has a serious project on which you will have to work properly.

According to the standard plan, everything will be possible to build here, and even large objects, for example, the house here will be just huge, with a summer terrace and a spacious parking lot.

When developing a development plan for your site on your own, consider all the nuances regarding the construction and placement of summer cottages. Use a clear work plan and follow the advice of experienced craftsmen.

Photo of a successful layout of a summer cottage

When considering the construction of residential or commercial buildings in IZHS and garden partnerships, you need to familiarize yourself with the requirements of regulatory documentation: construction, environmental, sanitary and fire safety, regulating the location of objects capital construction relative to each other, neighbors, water sources, and so on.

After obtaining the right to use the land and the right to build, planning of the structure of the site begins. The construction of housing and utility buildings is carried out for long-term operation and must ensure:

• legalization of the building;
• safety of residence;
• convenience of living;
• safety and comfort of neighbors;
• unhindered movement of people and vehicles in public places;
• no negative impact on water sources, flora and fauna of the area.

Therefore, the layout of the site and the relative position of its elements must be thought out in advance and comply with the rules and regulations.

Building codes governing the location of buildings

With private development, you need to remember the "red line" (clause 11, article 1 Urban Planning Code RF) - the border between your site and common areas, as well as other people's private land ownership. When installing a fence, the boundary with the street must be observed literally. If the fence is located almost on the red line, then the gate and the gate can only open inward. The sashes should not cross this conditional line, creating possible inconvenience to passers-by, cyclists, drivers.

The main regulatory document that defines minimum distances to various economic and natural objects, are mandatory (not recommendatory) for the execution of SNiP 30-02-97. According to them, the distances to the red line in accordance with clause 6.6 should not be less than:

• a residential building - 5 m from the street and 3 m from the driveway (the street has a name, the driveway does not);
• outbuildings - 5 m from the street and from the passage.

The fence is the boundary of your site, but this does not mean that you can place buildings and plantings in the interior space without restrictions. The crowns of trees should not block sidewalks and unnecessarily hang over neighboring area, sounds and smells of residential and utility buildings should not interfere with passers-by and neighbors. The distances to the fence between the plots can be changed by agreement with the neighbors, certified by a notary.

The minimum normalized distances from the boundary between sections to objects (clause 6.7):

• residential building - 3.0 m;
• poultry house, barn, pigsty, etc. - 4.0 m;
• greenhouse with fertilizing with organic fertilizers - 4.0 m;
• garage, shed - 1.0 m (but the flow of water from the roof, according to clause 7.5, cannot be organized to a neighboring site - the roof slope is oriented to its site);
• bath, sauna, shower, toilet - 2.5 m (more details in the "Sanitary requirements" section);
• tall trees - 4.0 m;
• medium-sized trees - 2.0 m;
• bushes - 1.0 m.

Distances from buildings are measured from the plinth or wall, if there are no decorative elements that protrude further than 500 mm. The distance between green spaces and the fence is measured to the conditional center of the trunk. The abundantly overgrown crown of a tree, with proper planting, cannot be a reason for a claim from neighbors.

When planning a site, keep in mind that, according to clause 6.13, the joint area of ​​\u200b\u200bstructures (house, outbuildings, gazebo, garage), sites and paths cannot occupy more than 30% of the entire site. The rest of the space is a green zone, it is impossible to pave the entire yard.

Attention! A permanent fence can be installed only after making the boundaries of your site in cadastral plan. For the period of legalization, the role of a fence can be played by a chain-link mesh stretched over poles. The height of the permanent fence should not exceed 1.5 m, so as not to obscure the neighbors' plot.

Maximum permissible building parameters for residential areas for low-rise individual construction

Development coefficient (K z) - the ratio of the area occupied by buildings and structures to the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe site.

Building density coefficient (Kpz) - the ratio of the area of ​​​​all floors of buildings and structures to the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe site.

AND- Manor buildings of rural-urban type with a plot size of 1000-1200 m 2 or more with a developed economic part.

B- development of urban cottage type with a plot size from 400 to 800 m 2 and cottage-blocked type (2-4 apartment semi-detached houses with plots of 300-400 m 2 with a minimum economic part).

AT- multi-apartment buildings of a blocked type with a plot size of 100-300 m 2.

* In brackets - permissible parameters for cottage development.

Note:

1. With dimensions land plots over 1200 m 2 the area of ​​​​a residential building is not standardized at Kz ≤ 0.2 and Kpz ≤ 0.4.

2. If the size of the adjacent land plots is less than 100 m 2, the tuning density (Kpz) should not exceed 1.2. At the same time, Kz is not standardized subject to sanitary and hygienic and fire safety requirements.

Sanitary requirements for site planning

Sanitary standards when planning the site should be given Special attention because they are aimed at maintaining the health of people. SNiP 30-02-97 gives the minimum distances that must be maintained between buildings for sanitary reasons (clause 6.8).

• house and cellar - more than 12.0 m from the toilet, poultry house, housing for small livestock;
• house and cellar - more than 8.0 m from the shower, sauna, bath;
• well - more than 8.0 m from the toilet, compost heap, septic tank.

When planning construction, make sure that these distances are observed in relation to buildings on adjacent sites.

If a room for birds, goats, piglets has a common wall with a residential building, the entrance to it must be isolated, at a distance of at least 7.0 m from the front door to the house (clause 6.9). To an adjacent section, the distance from such a block should be:

• from the house - not less than 3.0 m;
• from the premises with animals - not less than 4.0 m.

With garages adjacent to the house, the distance to the inter-estate boundary is (clause 6.9):

• from home - more than 3.0 m;
• from the garage - more than 1.0 m.

Fire rules for placing objects on the site

The rules for the conservation of water resources, if they are located near your site, are regulated by the Water Code of the Russian Federation. This applies primarily to the rules for the construction of water supply and sanitation. In addition, restrictions apply to the use of the coastline for animal walking, recreation, heaping of land dumps, compost facilities, and plowing. Limited options for using fertilizers on your site. It is impossible to enclose even a small area for the beach or walkways for boats / fishing - the entire coastline up to 20.0 m wide is the property of the state.

What threatens the failure to comply with the rules of the location of buildings

It is better to build initially, taking into account all the norms, so you will not get problems with the authorities, neighbors, or, more seriously, with the health or safety of property. If you bought a plot on which the buildings do not meet the requirements, then you need to act in all directions. As regards sanitary standards, they need to be corrected; as for relations with neighbors, all disputes must be settled by fixing the agreement reached in writing and having it certified by a notary. In many cases, good relations with neighbors are the key to trouble-free construction and legalization.

If the buildings on the site were erected during the action of softer normative documents, then consideration of the issue is carried out on the basis of their requirements.

Penalties for non-compliance with the rules for the location of buildings are determined by the Code of administrative offenses. These are different amounts of fines, and, in addition, there will be a refusal to put into operation until the inconsistencies are eliminated.

If you want to make an extension to the house - it will have to be legalized in the district authorities. Unauthorized development, according to the Civil Code of the Russian Federation (Article 222), should be demolished in most cases (except for those specifically stipulated).

Attention! Full order in permits for your property will help, if desired, to sell the land and the house without any problems.

When purchasing a plot for the construction of a residential building (or cottage), the new owner, in anticipation, begins to plan what and where to build. Unfortunately, plans are not always feasible. Many of them may not meet the requirements and rules established by law.

When designing a house and developing master plan It is very important to choose the right location of the house on the site. The norms regulating these issues will help to optimally arrange not only a residential building, but also the rooms in it in accordance with the cardinal points. This will help to protect yourself from cold winds, drafts and let them into the house. the largest number sunlight. And this, in turn, will save the cost of heating and lighting the building.

Building codes are not the only thing to listen to. You should take into account the experience, both your own and those of your neighbors and acquaintances. Some of the nuances in this case can make life very easy in the future.

Where to begin

First you need to carefully familiarize yourself with your new site. To do this, place pegs around its perimeter, if there is no fence. This will help you inspect your property. Imagine exactly what you want to see. Make a "preliminary" master plan.

The next step is to study the regulatory documents that regulate the location of the house on the site. There are sanitary, fire, urban planning standards. All of them must be taken into account.

It is necessary to take into account all buildings, neighboring buildings, even the location of trees. To do this, you must order the given locality. Documents of this kind are issued by the geodetic service.

Room insolation

The location of the house on the site on the cardinal points must correspond to the standard duration of insolation. Insolation refers to the amount of sunlight entering a room. There are clear requirements for its duration. But they only apply to living quarters. Premises for other purposes (kitchens, corridors, verandas, and so on) are not taken into account.

Residential buildings should be located on the cardinal points in such a way that the continuous insolation period is as follows:

• More than two and a half hours a day from the north side from April 22 to August 22.
• More than two hours in the central zone from March 22 to September 22.
• More than 1.5 hours from the south side from February 22 to October 22.

These values ​​indicate the time during which the sun should enter the room. Moreover, these requirements are not applied to one room. The number of rooms depends on the size of the house:

• In a one-room apartment - one living room.
• In the "dvushka" or "treshka" - in any of the living rooms.
• In houses where the number of rooms is more than three - in two living rooms.

In some situations, the duration of insolation can be reduced by half an hour. This applies to houses located in the northern and central zones. And only in the following cases:

• The houses are built in the central or historical part of the settlement.
• If the sun penetrates more than two rooms in two-room and three-room houses.
• If insolation is provided in more than three rooms of a multi-room building.

Cardinal directions when designing a house

The location of the house on the site should be planned taking into account the cardinal points. This will help to meet the requirements of insolation of the premises, save on heating and lighting at home.

The least amount of light falls on the walls located on the north side. Most of the light in the rooms located on the south side. With this in mind, living rooms are recommended to be located on the east and west sides.

Along with finding the sun and its penetration into the house, it is necessary to take into account the wind rose. They are taken into account for each region of the country separately. If we talk about the central part of Russia, then the northern, northwestern and western sides turn out to be less favorable. These are those parts of the world, the winds from which prevail. Such wind currents have a higher speed, lower temperature, that is, they are stronger and colder than others.

Therefore, most often the walls on the northern and western sides are deaf or with a small number of windows. On the north side, it is recommended to place utility rooms, storage rooms, a garage. This arrangement of premises protects living rooms.

The best way to stay at home

The layout of the house on the site cannot be ideal. You can not take into account all the nuances at the same time. But you can try to do it. For this, the following points must be taken into account:

• Site plan and relief.
• The location of the entrance to the site from the road.
• Neighboring plots and buildings on them.
• The size of the planned house and its shape.
• Personal wishes of the owners.

Properly chosen location of the house and the bath on the site will help to better relax with the family. If it is necessary to bring communications to the bathhouse, it is located closer to the house. Places of rest (for example, barbecue) are arranged away from home, in the most secluded and beautiful place, away from strangers.

The place for growing plants should be the brightest and most wind-protected corner.

The location of the house on the site on the cardinal points must comply with the most important rule: the shadow from the house should not always be on the site. If this rule is ignored, neither the owners of the house nor the plants planted around will be able to enjoy the heat of the sun.

Historical location of housing

Previously, when there were no regulatory documents yet, the location of the house on the site was chosen taking into account the laws of nature. Particularly the sun.

The building itself was traditionally built on the northwestern side of the site, preferably on a hill.

The porch was made from the southeast side of the house. The children's room was located in the same direction. They seemed to meet the rising sun in the morning.

The windows of the kitchen traditionally overlook the courtyard. And this means - in the north or northwest direction. But the western wall was left blank.

The layout of the house on the site

Building codes are designed for a reason. They help to plan the location of the house in such a way that the most optimal and comfortable living conditions are created.

The requirements of sanitary standards clearly define that there should be no windows in the range of 200-290 degrees north latitude. Windows are installed on the south and southeast sides. This requirement applies one-room apartment located in apartment building. As for a two-room apartment, the window of one of the living rooms should face these sides. In a three-room apartment, two windows should be installed in this direction, and three in a five-room apartment.

On the northern and western sides, the location of the kitchen, pantries, and a bathroom is provided. In this direction, it is permissible to equip the front door.

All other rooms should be located on the south or east side.

Room layout

The location of the house on the site requires separate compromises in solving the problem. Each side of the world has its pros and cons. They must be taken into account when choosing the location of the premises.

Most of the sunlight falls on the south side of the house. Therefore, game rooms, verandas, halls, winter gardens are usually placed in this direction.

The least sun falls on the north side. From this side, little light enters the room. And big windows in this case is not a solution to the problem. They only make it worse. A large glass area will lead to strong heat loss under the influence of cold winds. On this side of the house there are kitchens, garages, utility rooms.

The east side of the house is best illuminated in the morning. But in winter, the sun disappears from the windows early enough. Therefore, bedrooms, offices, dining rooms are equipped on this side.

The western side is the controversial one. It is more exposed to cold winds and precipitation than others. But in the afternoon, the rooms in this direction are flooded with sunlight. Usually, guest rooms, bedrooms (for those who like to sleep longer) are placed on this side.

Feng Shui has become fashionable lately. The location of the house on can also be built according to the laws of this science. But to do it right, you need to seek help from a specialist. This is not a cheap pleasure. Therefore, this is a justified step only if you plan to live according to the proposed recommendations. If there is no such desire, you can adhere to only some individual points.

The location of a residential building on a plot of regular shape should approximately coincide with its center. If the stretched area is located closer to the long side. Moreover, the building is not being built from the edge of the site, but in the depths. But there should be more space behind the house than in front of it.

Common rooms are located on the west side. But it is recommended to equip the bedrooms towards the sun, that is, on the southeast side. On the west side of the bedroom is not organized.

Conclusion

The location of the house on the plot plays important role in creating comfortable and cozy living conditions. Traditions, recommendations and requirements of legislative bodies will help to do everything right. But all these norms can change taking into account the climatic zone of the region of residence.
