Popular projects of log houses. Houses made of rounded logs: projects and prices

Houses made of rounded logs (the projects and their features are discussed in detail below) are a modern continuation of the traditions of Russian wooden architecture. However, their popularity is caused not only by historical memory.

The undoubted advantage of a house made of rounded logs (reviews from the owners confirm this) is its environmental friendliness and that special atmosphere that is inherent only in wooden houses. Wood is able to independently maintain optimal humidity in a room, absorbing excess moisture (at high humidity) or releasing it in dry air. In addition, other factors speak in favor of buying a house made of rounded logs:

• assembly of houses from rounded logs can be carried out without the involvement of heavy construction equipment, only by the forces of the construction team

• simplicity of the process - the rounded log has a constant diameter along its entire length and is completely ready for use without additional processing
• in most cases, interior walls do not require additional finishing - wood itself is very attractive and decorative

• excellent thermal insulation - with proper caulking of a log house, a wooden house retains heat much more effectively than a stone (brick) building

• a house made of rounded timber will cost less than a house of the same size brick house or timber
• aesthetic and attractive appearance without the need for further finishing

There are three main disadvantages:

• shrinkage - losing moisture, the log changes its linear dimensions, this process is most noticeable in the first 2-3 years - in the first year the first floor can sink up to 15 cm. That is why, after assembly, the log house is “mothballed” for a year, and only after that finishing work begins work

• tree care is a necessity periodically antiseptic treatment, combating mold and rot
• increased fire hazard

Projects of houses made of rounded logs: important features

The design of houses made of rounded logs must necessarily take into account the nuances associated with the “living” nature of the material. First of all, this is the limited length of the log used in construction - 6 m. To obtain a wall of the required length, it is necessary to provide for the joining of logs, which cannot be done on an open wall. To do this, they use cuts connecting the external wall to the internal one, which, in turn, will affect the internal layout. In addition, such a connection is closed with a thermal lock, which will reduce heat loss. Additionally, the cuts also act as stiffening ribs - after all, with a very large length, a log can bend under load.

Several other factors will need to be taken into account:

• the number of corners in the house must be even - otherwise in one corner the logs will have to be laid in a joint, which is unacceptable
• When designing, shrinkage must be taken into account, since rounded logs are a material with natural moisture. It is necessary to accurately assess the effect of shrinkage on window and door openings (installation of frames, casings), log gables, and also calculate the load on load-bearing walls in order to prevent the occurrence of distortions

• to ensure the necessary rigidity of the log house, the joints of the logs in each subsequent crown should be staggered
• strict adherence to the axes of the first and second floors, otherwise weakening of the structure will cause sagging of the ceiling beams, which during shrinkage can even cause the destruction of the house

• The house design must take into account the cutting of logs - this will reduce the consumption of logs. In addition, walls with a length of about 4.5 - 5 m should be avoided - this creates a significant number of scraps 1-1.5 m long, which are practically impossible to use in the future for construction
• when designing partitions on the second floor, the length of which is more than 3.5 m, they and the corresponding crosscuts must be located strictly above the partitions installed on the first floor. Otherwise, the project must provide for the installation of additional supports

Advice! With proper design, a minimum area of ​​open wooden structures remains - they should be covered with canopies or awnings, this will protect them from atmospheric conditions and extend their service life.

For the construction of houses made of rounded timber, it is strictly forbidden to use projects developed for wooden houses made of other materials. The most popular designs are two-story houses (most often with attic) And house designs with garage. To ensure comfortable living conditions, one family member should have 30 m2 of space.

Russian style

Since one-story houses made of rounded timber are a traditional, historically established architectural form in our area, the modern interior is a harmonious combination of traditional elements of the Russian hut and modern design techniques. The main thing when decorating a house in the Russian style is a sense of proportion so that the design does not turn into a tacky popular print. There are several techniques that will help recreate the spirit and atmosphere of a Russian hut:

• bake– in a modern house, especially a large one, it is almost impossible to implement it for its original purpose, so most often they create fireplace, stylized as a Russian stove or just imitation of it

• furniture – natural, wooden, solid, well suited in the kitchen shops and definitely – wide, big dinner table as a symbol of hospitality and hospitality. Carving – present, but in moderation

• accessories - they should reveal the originality of the style, while taking into account the ethnic characteristics of the region, or vice versa, revealing to guests the characteristics of the region where the owners come from. Traditional solutions include bast shoes on a hook, a rocker or spinning wheel, bunches of dried herbs, etc.

• textiles - there should be a lot of it and these are natural fabrics. Lacy snow-white tablecloths and curtains, homespun rugs, embroidered towels.

Country

A fairly free style in terms of the elements used, in which specific design solutions are largely determined by national characteristics and customer preferences:

• Northern peoples - the harsh Vikings - actively use natural stone to decorate their houses. In addition, the characteristic features of this style are a fireplace (hearth), and an animal skin on the floor

• southern peoples - a veranda (terrace), light garden furniture And rocking chairs
• British country– a fairly simple atmosphere is necessarily diluted with a splash of chic – Persian carpet, a lot of glass or lacquered furniture.

A log house is beautiful, fashionable and comfortable. This construction also reflects Russian national traits. Since ancient times in Rus', towers and huts were built from logs, in which several generations of the same family lived for centuries. Those wooden houses that are being built now are a continuation of the tradition of Russian architecture. And it should be noted that they have a huge number of fans.

This article will discuss and present the most current and in demand options for log houses today.

Peculiarities

The growing popularity of log buildings - houses, baths - is due to the growing demand for environmentally friendly materials, of which wood is the most environmentally friendly and beneficial for humans.

It is easy to breathe in such houses, this is especially important for people with lung problems or nasopharyngeal diseases. It is good to rest and gain strength in them; it is warm in winter and cool in summer. Thus, a log house can be an ideal option for country housing.

If we consider that wood itself is capable of maintaining an optimal level of humidity in rooms, either by absorbing excess moisture or releasing it when there is a shortage, then it becomes clear that this material is truly versatile and useful.

It is most convenient to build a house from rounded logs, since this does not require special equipment, you only need a team of qualified workers. It is better if they have previously dealt with the construction of real estate of this kind.

The customer can either use one of the many standard projects that currently exist, or carry out construction based on a solution individually developed in accordance with his wishes.

It is a mistake to think that wood, especially logs, is a bulky and heavy material. Yes, this is a solid, monumental structure, but the wood itself is unusually plastic. This is clearly seen in the example of old Russian churches, huts and towers.

From logs you can create a large hut, a two-story cottage, a small house with an attic, or a guest house-chalet. For each of the listed options, there are a lot of standard projects in any design bureau.

Wooden houses are in constant high demand for good reason. Such a structure has thinner and lighter walls, and therefore less weight, than, for example, brick or concrete. Therefore, the foundation under the structure may be less massive. Only foam and gas blocks, as well as sandwich panels, are lighter than wood, but they are not always to the liking of customers who want solidity and reliability for their home.

In addition, a wooden log house can be easily and quickly erected and has a very attractive appearance, especially if carved trim is used to decorate it.

There are two main disadvantages (besides the fairly high price, especially for rounded (calibrated) logs): flammability and susceptibility to rotting. Special compounds used to treat logs will help solve both of these problems: fire retardants against fire and antiseptics against rot and mold. Of course, no chemical composition will turn wood into a completely non-combustible material, but it will significantly reduce the rate of fire.

In addition, in a log house, the corners and crowns are hermetically connected, which eliminates the possibility of them being blown through and causing drafts.

If properly dried and properly treated wood is used, a structure can last up to 80 years. If the log is rounded and has the same diameter, such a house does not require finishing either inside or outside. He looks attractive without it.

Of course, a rounded log will cost more than, for example, a chopped log, but at the same time it is cheaper than profiled and laminated timber. Therefore, log houses are not the most expensive wooden buildings, and their external beauty is difficult to underestimate.

Another feature of such houses that should not be forgotten is their shrinkage. Since when logs are rounded their natural moisture is preserved, after the construction of the house the wood begins to dry out, which causes shrinkage. The maximum height loss due to shrinkage is 7 percent. This process continues on average from two to three years.

Drawings and diagrams

Classification of projects of houses made of rounded logs is made both by area and by architectural features.

Design can be carried out individually, in accordance with the wishes of the customer. Typically, these developments are expensive and include atypical design elements. The project can also be drawn up for a group of buildings (a house, a bathhouse, a garage, a summer kitchen, even a fence for a site) so that they are designed in the same style and form a single composition.

There are the following standard projects that are available in every architectural and design bureau:

• up to 100 m2 (among them 6 by 8, 6x6, 8x8, 6x9, 9x9, 9 by 10 and other options);
• from 100 to 200 m2 (for example, 150 sq. m);
• more than 200 m2;
• log house with garage;
• cottage with veranda or terrace;
• two-storey house;
• house with bathhouse;
• cottage with ground floor;
• houses with designer details - bay window, arched windows, complex roof configuration, columns.

For a country house, it is best to choose projects made from calibrated logs with an area of ​​up to 100 m2; they are usually the most affordable. They can be supplemented with a terrace, veranda or garage. One-story buildings remain the most popular; they are good both for families of two people and for those with small children.

The most popular projects are 6x8, 8x8 and 6x9 m. They are not too small, but are quite budget-friendly. To build them, you don’t need a lot of material, especially if you choose a log with a small diameter.

Those who choose houses with an attic, as a rule, know how to calculate their finances. These houses are not as expensive as two-story ones, but at the same time, they have an almost full second floor. Their construction does not require a complex and massive foundation. In addition, on the second floor you can arrange any room depending on the needs and hobbies of the owners: a spacious children's room, a creative workshop, a billiard room, a gym.

The attic can be flush with the first floor or protruding forward above the facade. Then columns will serve as support for it. The protruding attic can, in turn, serve as a canopy for a summer terrace, where you can arrange an area for a barbecue, barbecue, or just a relaxation area. You can design an attic with a glazed loggia, it’s very beautiful. Then, during the cold season, it will be possible to place garden plants in it for the winter.

You can add a stove-heated bathhouse to a house with an attic by running a chimney pipe through the center of the house. In this case, you can live in it all year round, since the building will always be warm. It is possible to include in the project a house with an attic and a garage for both one and two cars, this will create even greater convenience for permanent residence.

As for two-story houses made of rounded logs, they are good for permanent residence of large families or people who like to frequently receive guests. On the ground floor, as a rule, there is a kitchen, dining room, bathhouse, and technical rooms. The second floor most often houses one or more bedrooms or recreation rooms.

Styles

Mostly log houses are designed in the style of Russian classics. However, this style is not the only one in which log houses are built. The Art Nouveau style with its multi-layered facades is in great demand among owners of country houses. Also popular are chalet houses with wide gable roofs and a mandatory terrace. Other features of the chalet are:

• protruding, relatively wide cornice;
• attic;
• presence of dual lighting;
• balcony inside.

Initially, chalets are Alpine village houses, but modern analogues look truly luxurious, while being the center of comfort for their inhabitants.

Scandinavian-style houses are characterized by great functionality; every square meter and even centimeter is used wisely. “Scandinavian” houses are characterized by the presence of an attic with a low ceiling, as well as a combined kitchen and living room. There is no terrace, but there is a veranda. Lovers of minimalism and rational use of space will really like these houses.

A cottage made of logs with a large diameter is a completely different option. This is a solid, reliable building, a real “fortress” for the owner. The use of thick logs (20-30 cm in diameter) is not practical from a practical point of view, and the price is very high. But, as a rule, those customers who decide to build just such a cottage think about the cost of lumber last.

This material is ideal for the construction of hunting lodges, as well as individual cottages at recreation centers.

Material calculation

Before starting construction, a project for the future home must be drawn up. In order for the process of constructing a log house to proceed quickly and without delay, absolutely everything must be taken into account in the project: from what type of wood will be used to how many cubic meters of wood are needed for construction.

Naturally, a drawing of the house is also needed. It will help you navigate both the placement of communication lines and the location of rooms. In general, it will become a cheat sheet against which the desired will be compared with the actual.

In addition, for each stage of future construction, it is necessary to develop an estimate in which all materials used, including consumables, as well as transportation costs and wages of hired workers, if they are invited, must be taken into account.

• measure the length of all walls, partitions and partitions provided for in the drawing;
• add up all the resulting numbers (this will determine the length of the timber required for flow at each level);
• it is necessary to divide the height of the walls by the thickness of the timber (this is how the number of rows (logs) needed to build a house is calculated);
• All that remains is to multiply the first and second digits (this will give the total length of the timber that is necessary for the construction of the cottage).

Customers using a material such as a log for the first time may be under the influence of stereotypes regarding it. The most common of them are: “very expensive material”, “massive structure with a small usable area”, “highly susceptible to fire”, “it takes a long time and is difficult to build a house”. None of these statements contain truth. Logs (both chopped and rounded) occupy an average position in cost among materials for building houses.

Yes, foam blocks, gas blocks, “Finnish houses” are cheaper. But profiled and laminated timber, as well as brick, are more expensive.

Wood is an extremely convenient material for construction. Due to the fact that a house made of rounded logs does not require interior finishing, space can be saved. In addition, houses made from such logs look solid, reliable, but not massive. Wood is very plastic; log houses look very neat due to careful fitting and joining of elements together.

Today, no one builds houses from untreated wood. Each log is impregnated with both an antiseptic against rot and mold, and a fire retardant against fire. This makes the material much more resistant to both fire and rot.

If the log is rounded correctly and has the same diameter, building a house will not be difficult, and it will take little time. All you need is a team of workers.

The use of special heavy equipment is not necessary. Since the elements are the same, the walls are simply laid out from them, joining with grooves.

Of course, in order for the house to last a long time, you need to choose high-quality processed and dried wood.

Wood, or rather a log, served our ancestors as the main material for construction. This choice is easily explained not only by the abundant availability of wood in Russia, but also by a number of unique qualities inherent only to this building material. Thus, houses made of logs have:

• Unique texture. The proprietary pattern of the log house elements eliminates the need for additional finishing not only on the outside, but also on the inside.
• Relatively low cost. There is a steadily growing demand for log houses, and the material for their manufacture (in most cases) does not need to be purchased abroad, which allows construction companies to contain price increases.
• A special microclimate, thanks to which residents experience absolutely no discomfort, but on the contrary, breathing improves and even improves immunity.
• Excellent thermal insulation and durability, thanks to which the owner will forget about repeated repairs for many years.
