What layout is best for your apartment? Compare options

When choosing an apartment, the layout has a very great importance. At the houses different types usually a different set of available layouts, but still there is something in common. In this article, we talk about which layouts are most common in Russia and what are their advantages and disadvantages.

Layout of the apartment - dorms and small families

Let's start with the smallest ones. Apartments hotel type were designed to accommodate employees of nearby enterprises, so most often they can be found near large factories and in the suburbs big cities. The living room is a very small odnushka, the kitchen in which huddles in a niche in the corridor, although sometimes it is transferred to the room during repairs. The bathroom is combined, with a shower. Such the apartment will do for the residence of one person, such as a student or a seconded worker.

Small-family apartment - a slightly improved version of the hotel. There is a balcony or loggia here, the area is slightly increased, there are two windows instead of one. This apartment is still too cramped, but will do as a budget option for temporary residence. Of the advantages of both layouts - only low price.

Studio (open plan)

This is an apartment in which only the bathroom is isolated: the corridor passes into the only room with a kitchen not separated by a partition. Studios began to appear more and more in modern buildings as an option for budget housing. They have an area increased in comparison with hotels and small families and a place for a full-fledged kitchen set. However, one should not confuse studios with one-room apartments in which the partition between the room and the kitchen was demolished: they look similar, but studios usually smaller area and planned by the developer himself.

The advantage of a studio is the presence of a large and well-lit space of a single room. Such a layout will appeal to people who are modern and creative, living alone or as a couple, but without children. Although there are exceptions, as we see for a family with a small child.

The lack of personal space in such an apartment will be the main disadvantage for two or three people living together. Another disadvantage is the lack of storage space. More about open plan:

Isolated rooms

This is an apartment in which all rooms are isolated from each other and from the corridor. Ideal for families with children or living unrelated people. Such a classic layout has practically no disadvantages, except that in small apartments isolated rooms can feel cramped.

Connecting rooms

The layout of a two-room apartment, where only one room has access to the corridor, and the second can only be reached by passing through the first. This type of layout is typical for old houses, now it has been abandoned: although adjoining rooms save space, it is inconvenient to live in such an apartment other than as a couple.

There is a variant of an adjacent-isolated layout in apartments with three or more rooms - two rooms are adjacent, the rest are isolated. Here it is tempting to use a small room as a walk-in closet in the bedroom.

partial studio

This layout option is used in apartments with two or more rooms. In this case, there is a combined kitchen-living room space and isolated rooms. If there are enough rooms for all family members, a large and bright living room can be a great place to relax. Moreover, in such a room, the person who cooks will not feel abandoned by the rest of the family in the kitchen. Such apartments are rarely planned by the developer, but if the wall between the kitchen and the nearest kitchen is not load-bearing, everything is in your hands.

The creative heroes of our reports manage to make a partial studio even from a single room:

For those who want to move from an apartment to private house, is dedicated.

Living in a city apartment, a person somehow does not realize that his housing can be a set of premises with different functionality. What does the inhabitant of a city apartment in a high-rise building see? Two or three rooms, separate or combined bathroom, kitchen at 9 or 12 square meters, a small corridor and a scanty pantry.

To have a slightly different set of premises, you either need to pay an indecent amount of money at the stage of buying an apartment or immediately invest in the construction of a studio apartment, and then cut it and build partitions in your home to your taste.

When the time comes, and yesterday's occupant of the apartment is ready to move to permanent residence in the city or, he faces a difficult choice.

It turns out that it is not enough to choose what material the house will be built from, what shape the roof will be, or what kind of boiler will heat the house. It is also necessary to plan the internal maintenance of the house, decide what rooms should be in a private house and how many there should be, as well as what area of \u200b\u200bthe premises is optimal for his family.

Home is the place you build on long years and where your family will live.

This is where the third-generation city dweller's lack of experience in planning their living space comes into play. After all, when everything is decided for you, up to the fact that you first live in a “odnushka”, then you move to a “kopeck piece” and then to the limit of dreams - a “three-ruble note”, then where does the skill of independent planning come from?

The citizen comes to construction organization where he is offered standard project and they say - in your house there will be 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, the total area of \u200b\u200bthe house will be 100 square meters. And the city dweller, who lived his conscious life in a two-room apartment with a total area of 48 square meters, immediately says "I take it."

The organization is building a house, everything is on schedule, the family goes to see how they are progressing. Then, at the end of construction, there is a solemn surrender of the house, champagne, flowers, a curtain. The construction is over, it's time to move in.

At first, the family is delighted, there is so much space, many rooms and even a staircase to the second floor, which in the conditions of the city only local nouveaux riches in two-level apartments can afford.

However, time passes and the family in a private house is faced with some inconveniences, which are called "the real operation of the house by living people."

In the course of this operation, moments are clarified that should have been thought about at the planning stage. Namely, what rooms should be in a private house, and where and how they should be located.

What rooms must be in a private house

Without reference to specific quadratures, let's go through the composition of the premises in a modern private house. To understand what rooms and ancillary facilities are needed, let's turn to the experience of operating a house by real owners.

So, first things first, the bedrooms. Without them, nowhere, you need to sleep somewhere. How many bedrooms should the house have? How many people live in it, so many bedrooms minus one. A family of 4 should have 3 bedrooms, a family of 3 should have two. A family of two may not have a bedroom at all if they are young people. They can love each other in the living room, in the kitchen, and even in the hall. Great power is this love! But as soon as they have as a result of this mutual love the first child arrives, they will immediately need a bedroom for themselves, and at least 1 nursery.

The house is not built for one year, which means it is worth thinking about the future. Even if you just got married, plan one bedroom and 1 nursery, as well as 1 more room in reserve for a second nursery. And there is nothing to shirk, the country needs you, it is necessary to raise the birth rate!

Laundry. Of course, she's comfortable. And many owners have a laundry in a private house. But the washing machine can be placed in a large bathroom or in a utility room, in a pantry where you can stretch cold water and fan pipe.
The office is a library. This is already from an excess of funds. Of course, if your family loves to read, if you have collected several thousand books in your life, then they need to be stored somewhere. However, if the question is fast moving from an apartment to a private house, then both the office and the library can be neglected.
You can also neglect the cinema hall. That is, the place where a huge sofa for 10 seats and just obscenely sized HD TV with home theater. This place is the most interesting thing in the house, especially if you have a large package of satellite TV channels connected. But it is quite possible to do without it.
And, finally, the halls on each floor, where you can put, where you can arrange chairs, where you can sit in the winter cold by a live fire. It is quite possible to get by with compact corridors that provide access to bedrooms or other rooms.

Why did I write about the premises in a private house, which you can do without? And besides, if you are building a house for yourself, then you should not save on yourself. AT good home there should be bedrooms, and a dining room, and a large kitchen, coupled with pantries and a boiler room. And also there should be a library, an office, a cinema hall and halls with fireplaces.

My house has it all. What will be in your house is up to you. Just remember that you are building a house for a long time. happy life, in which, in addition to everyday life and worries, there is a place for joy and pleasure.

Sincerely, Vitaly Sokolov, Kungur, Perm region

The composition of the premises of the apartment

Apartments are the main cells, from which all houses, both small and largest, are assembled. It depends on how convenient and rational in terms of their planning structure the apartment overall quality residential building.

One of the main conditions proper organization apartment is its compliance with the needs of the family, satisfaction of the ongoing life processes: rest, classes, cooking, etc. At the same time, the comfort of living in an apartment depends not only on the correct determination of the necessary composition of the premises, but also on their size, the nature of the relationship, and aesthetic qualities.

Each apartment is made up of following premises: living rooms, kitchen, hallway, bathroom or shower room, toilet, built-in wardrobes or utility pantry, balconies, loggias or terraces are allowed. In hot climates, their device is a must.

Living rooms constitute a group of residential premises, the rest of the premises are called utility rooms. In total, residential and utility areas are total area apartments.

Living rooms are the main part of the apartment. They have different purposes and are divided into common and sleeping rooms. In large apartments, an office for work and studies can be additionally provided.

All living rooms should be designed in such a way that their size, proportions, location of windows, doors, heaters make it possible to conveniently place the necessary furnishings. All living rooms should be lit with natural light. Approximately, the sufficiency of natural lighting is determined by the light effect, which characterizes the ratio of the light area window openings in light to the floor area of the room.

According to current standards, this ratio should be within 1:4.5 ... 1:8. If the light opening overlooks the loggia, then for its calculation, the part of the loggia adjacent to this opening should be included in the area of \u200b\u200bthe room.

The common room is the main and, as a rule, the largest room in the apartment. It serves as a place of rest and various activities for family members, receiving guests, a dining room. Square common room in two- and three-room apartments should be at least 16 m2, in four- and five-room apartments - 18 m2. Its width is assumed to be at least 3 m. The best proportions (width to length ratio) are 1:1 ... 1:1.5. Rational placement of furniture in the common room can be isolated corners used as a dining room, living room, workspace (Fig. 1).

Sometimes a common room in large apartments is designed as a passageway, where it is a link for all the premises of the apartment. This allows you to make the layout of the apartment with a minimum area of corridors. However, in small apartments, the common room should be made impassable.

Bedrooms are designed for one and two people and can be intended for children and adult family members. The area of the bedrooms should be 10...12 m2 for two people and 8 m2 for one person.

All bedrooms should be designed impassable. It is necessary to provide for the installation of built-in wardrobes or wardrobes in them, carefully consider the possible arrangement of furniture, taking into account that bedrooms, in addition to their main purpose, also perform other functions - they serve as a place for younger children to play, older children to work, adults work (Fig. 2). In southern areas, it is necessary to protect sleeping rooms from overheating at night and therefore not be oriented towards west side horizon.

Rice. 1. Options for organizing and zoning a common room, depending on the proportions of the room

The kitchen is a very important room in the apartment. Here there are processes related to cooking, table setting, washing dishes. Very often, the kitchen serves as a place for eating. Therefore, when designing an apartment, very serious attention should be paid to the issues of planning and equipping the kitchen, taking into account the satisfaction of increased sanitary requirements applied to this room.

All kitchen equipment should be of a shape and surface that is easy to clean. Walls should be painted oil paint or paste over with washable wallpaper, and the wall where the equipment is located - veneer with glazed tiles. The floor should also be made of easily washable materials (linoleum, PVC tiles, etc.). Depending on the size of the family and the nature of housekeeping, the type and size of the kitchen, the set of special equipment and furniture change.

Rice. 2. Options for organizing bedrooms depending on the size and proportions of the premises:
a - for one person; b - for parents

In our construction practice, three main types of kitchens are used: kitchen niche, working kitchen, kitchen-dining room (Fig. 3).

A beggar kitchen is called a kitchen, the equipment of which is located in a niche of a living room or a front room. Such kitchens are rational in hotel-type houses in apartments designed for one or two people, leading household in the minimum amount. This type of kitchen is acceptable only if it is equipped with an electric stove and artificial exhaust ventilation.

AT modern apartments the main type of kitchen is the kitchen-dining room, in which, in addition to working equipment, dinner table and chairs. This type of kitchen is very convenient, as it turns into extra room. The kitchen-dining room, as a rule, has an entrance from the front.

Rice. 3. Main types of kitchens:
a - kitchen niche; b - working kitchen; in - kitchen-dining room

The kitchen area depends on the size of the apartment, but must be at least 8 m2 and have a width of at least 2 m. one-room apartments residential buildings in cities and towns, it is allowed to reduce the area of kitchens to 5 m2 (working kitchen).

All types of kitchens are equipped with stationary kitchen equipment and special furniture. The main piece of equipment is a gas, electric or solid fuel stove (depending on local conditions). Next to the stove there is a desktop with a built-in sink, which is also a cabinet for storing kitchen utensils. Above the table are wall cabinets for storing dinner and tea utensils, products. On fig. 4.4. approximate dimensions of this equipment are given.

The shape, color, material from which the kitchen equipment is made mainly decide the composition of the interior, and its rational arrangement creates convenience and saves the labor and time of the hostess, so the equipment modern kitchen architects should pay special attention.

The location of the kitchen equipment depends on the proportions of its premises, the location of the openings, etc. It can be single-row, double-row, corner.

The sanitary unit of the apartment includes rooms where a bath or shower tray, washbasin and toilet are located. In one-room and small two-room apartments, intended for singles and small families, combined sanitary facilities are advisable, where all sanitary appliances are located in one room. In apartments designed for large families, appliances must be placed in separate rooms: a bathroom with a washbasin in the bathroom, and a toilet in the toilet. In order to increase comfort in such apartments, it is possible to locate a combined sanitary unit in the area of the bedrooms and a toilet with a washbasin in the area of the kitchen and common room.

For the equipment of sanitary facilities, sanitary appliances are produced standard sizes(Fig. 5). The dimensions of the premises of the sanitary unit are determined by the arrangement and dimensions of the equipment (Fig. 6). In addition, the bathroom should provide space for washing machine not less than 0.75X0.50 m in size.

The dimensions of bathrooms and showers also depend on the type of hot water supply in the house, which can be central, which does not require the installation of water heaters, and local, with a solid fuel water heater or gas water heater. A wood-fired or coal-fired heater requires a dedicated floor space, geyser hangs on the wall above the bathtub. The volume of the bathroom equipped gas water heater, must be at least 7.5 m3. In this case, the doors must have ventilation grilles at the bottom or a gap between the door and the floor for air flow.

The dimensions of the latrine must be at least 0.8 m wide and 1.2 m deep. Doors in the toilet and bathroom should open outward.

Rice. 4. Approximate dimensions of kitchen equipment:
a-plates; I - electric; II - gas; 41 - solid fuel; b - sinks; c - equipment layout options

Rice. 5. Overall dimensions of items of equipment for sanitary facilities

Rice. 6. Sanitary units and their equipment: a-toilets; b-bathrooms; in-combined sanitary units; d-separate sanitary facilities

Entrance to the restroom and combined toilet must be from the front or inner hallway. The entrance to the bathroom can be organized from the bedroom, but only if there is a second entrance from the front or inside the apartment corridor. The premises of sanitary facilities are equipped with exhaust ventilation.

AT apartment buildings temperate or cold climatic regions, as a rule, sanitary facilities are designed without natural lighting and ventilation (in some cases, lighting is made with a second light through a transom located at the top of the kitchen wall). In warm and hot climatic regions, for lighting and mainly ventilation, it is preferable to provide windows in sanitary facilities facing north or northeast. Windows are usually located at the top of the wall. Walls and floors in the premises of the sanitary unit should be finished with waterproof and easily washable materials.

When arranging the equipment of the sanitary unit, it is necessary to take into account the simplicity and cost-effectiveness of the installation of sanitary equipment. In this regard, it is desirable to place a sanitary unit adjacent to the kitchen, which allows you to combine their communications into a single installation sanitary unit. Currently, in industrial construction, enlarged sanitary-technical blocks and panels are used with plumbing, sewage, and hot water pipes embedded in them. Volumetric sanitary cabins are also used, which are fully assembled at the factory.

The placement of the sanitary unit depends on general layout and the size of the apartment. As mentioned, it is desirable to place a sanitary unit adjacent to the kitchen. However, in large apartments, their separation is possible, since the kitchen should be adjacent to the dining room, and the bathroom and toilet should be adjacent to the bedrooms, located in an isolated part of the apartment more remote from the entrance. In addition, in large apartments, a toilet with an entrance from the corridor should be located adjacent to the kitchen, and in the back of the apartment, adjacent to the bedrooms, a combined sanitary unit with a toilet and a bathroom.

The anteroom is the entrance to the apartment and the link between its individual rooms, so it is very important to rationally and beautifully design its interior, while using the minimum area. In the front, it is necessary to provide a place for convenient placement of a hanger for an upper dress and a shelf for shoes under it, a mirror with a bedside table for storing accessories for caring for shoes and clothes. In the large front rooms, space could be allocated for a table for a telephone and a chair (Fig. 7).

Rice. 7. Examples of front layouts

In apartment buildings, the front, as a rule, is illuminated by a second light through glazed doors. It is beautiful when the front communicates with the common room through a double glazed door or sliding partition. This visually expands the space of the front, and if necessary, makes it possible to increase the space of the common room. In such a front hall, you can place a TV and a lounge chair. The minimum front width is 1.4 m.

In some layouts, mainly large apartments, internal passages and gateways are provided for communication between individual premises. Their width is taken at least 1.1 m if they lead to living rooms, and 0.85 m if they lead to kitchens and bathrooms. In locks and passages, the height of which can be reduced to 2.1 m, it is rational to arrange mezzanine and wall cabinets for storing various household items.

In addition to closets, some apartments have utility pantries, dressing rooms, which are very convenient in everyday life. AT individual houses with large apartments pantries are a must.
