If you want to turn your house into your personal fortress, then you definitely need to choose durable and reliable material for construction. Brick has been considered the best option for many years. It has long been used in multi-storey and industrial construction, as well as for the construction of small private houses. One-story houses, which are much easier to construct than two-story houses, are especially popular in the domestic space. You can build a house of any size and configuration from it. You don’t even have to invent anything - there are a lot of ready-made designs for one-story brick houses that will captivate you with their thoughtfulness and originality. We have selected several of the most interesting solutions so that each reader can find the project that is most suitable in terms of area and layout.

Before moving directly to the options themselves, I would like to list main advantages of brick houses:

Alas, there were some downsides. Brick is a heavy material, so it is necessary to organize enough. Construction will not be fast since the blocks are small in size. In addition, you will have to spend a lot of money, but all these disadvantages are more than compensated by the advantages and the opportunity to build from brick both a fairly simple house and a building of a bizarre shape.

If you have clearly decided that your house will be built of brick, then it’s time to start the project. The most expensive way is to order the development of an individual solution. A cheaper option is to choose a ready-made project and, if necessary, adjust it a little. We have selected several quite interesting options.

Project AS-1615 “Studio house for country holidays”

The project will be of interest to people who like to spend weekends outside the city, enjoying nature and SPA treatments. The total area of the house built according to this project is 115.7 m2. The building is suitable for both recreation and permanent residence. The obvious advantages of the project include:

Naturally, the project includes a bathroom and a small kitchen area combined with a living room. Another one house feature– a pitched roof that rises towards the living room and allows for higher ceilings in the main room. This and many other projects of brick houses were developed by the Good House company, which employs professional architects who, over 13 years of work, have created more than 600 projects, according to which houses were built in 287 cities in Russia and the CIS.

Project "Seville"

An excellent option for those who want to build their own cozy small house in which the whole family would be comfortable living and relaxing. Thanks to the thoughtful layout of the area 94 m2 It was possible to arrange all the necessary premises for a comfortable stay and even more, while the rooms are not cramped in space.

Among the obvious advantages of the project, we note:

The layout ensures free movement around the house, and the absence of load-bearing walls will allow any redevelopment to be carried out as soon as the need arises.

Project Colchester

A house built according to this project is ideal for a large family, or will be an excellent vacation spot for a large group of friends. Total area of the house - 147 m2, the layout can be called an ideal in terms of combining functionality and compactness.

The main advantages of the project include:

Another highlight of the project– the ability to modify the layout depending on your own preferences. Instead of two adjacent bedrooms, you can make one larger one with an area of 30 m2. If the house has only two bedrooms, then you can safely discard one bathroom, and use its area to organize a niche in the second bedroom. The niche can be used for built-in storage - there will be a lot of storage space.

There is another layout option. Three bedrooms are made adjacent, one of them receives floor-to-ceiling glass. The living room area becomes a little smaller, it is moved to the place of the kitchen, the kitchen is made separate. You can organize it next to it. If you do not welcome combined kitchen-living rooms, then this is your option.

Project "Futuristic"

The project is designed for those who love everything modern. Precise geometric shapes, a flat roof, and the presence of a large glazing area will make this house stand out from the rest and emphasize the tastes of the owners. Total area – 92.5 m2. The advantages of the project include:

Project "Miniature"

Despite the fact that the area of the house is only 59.2 m2, it successfully houses everything you need for a comfortable stay and relaxation. The house can be used both as a country residence, intended for temporary visits, and for permanent residence of a small family.

Advantages of the project:

minimum building area, which makes the project suitable for;
savings on building materials and construction time;
with such a small area there are two bedrooms, although quite miniature;
the bathroom is located at an equal distance from the bedrooms, close to the living room and kitchen;
the living room is combined with the kitchen; the absence of partitions makes these small rooms visually more spacious;
from the living room there is access to a spacious terrace, which is suitable for organizing an outdoor dining area or installing sun loungers;
in the hall there is provision for a large wardrobe.

All walls are non-load-bearing, so redevelopment can be done after the construction of the house. For example, you can abandon a niche in the hall and increase the living room area.

Project "Prestige"

The name of the project fully reflects the layout of the house. The architects have provided for everything to make the life of the owner of this mansion comfortable. On the square in 185.7 m2 there were a lot of spacious residential and auxiliary premises.

Among the advantages of the project we note:

, which is connected by a storage room to the living area of the house. Some large purchases can be immediately placed on shelves in pantries, and the rest can be easily brought into the house without going outside, and from the pantry you go straight to the kitchen;
the living room boasts a huge area (just over 45 m2), so there is room for a large company - no one will feel cramped;
both the living room and the kitchen have access to a spacious terrace, equipped with . It’s probably not worth listing recreation options for such opportunities;
a huge glass area in the kitchen and living room, plus everything in the living room is provided;
three large bedrooms, one of them with its own bathroom. The second bathroom is common to everyone.

If you imagine a house in which absolutely everything is provided, then it will clearly look something like the one in this project.

Project "Daver"

The architects definitely worked hard on this project, as they were able to find a balance between compactness, functionality and did not forget about original solutions. Average house area – 110 m2, but at the same time it compares favorably with a number of projects of a similar area. Its key advantages include:

the presence of three bedrooms, two of which have access to the terrace;
the spacious, bright living room is also connected to the terrace;
the kitchen, according to the project, is not combined with the living room, but is located close to it, so if you want to organize lunch in the fresh air there will be no problems;
a small pantry was placed next to the kitchen - housewives will appreciate this decision;
a bathtub and an additional bathroom will allow a decent group of people to stay comfortably in the house;
The highlight of the project is a glazed corner of the house, which can be accessed from the living room. This place can become a wonderful relaxation area when the weather outside is not very good. If you wish and have the correct orientation of the house, you can;
There is a room for organizing a boiler room.

According to this project, it will be possible to build an ideal house for a large family, and it will compare favorably with the mass of neighboring houses.

Project "Comfort"

Another example of a chic, thoughtful layout and the architect’s care for the comfort of future residents. The project will appeal to those who want to build a house for the permanent residence of a large family. Total area - 197.6 m2. Among the strengths of the project we note:

Project "Altamira"

Simple and tasteful. This is exactly how this project can be characterized. Place on the square 102 m 2 three spacious bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen with a living room, as well as utility rooms - you need to be able to do this.

Strengths of the project:

Project "Romance"

Our list of projects for one-story brick houses is completed by an almost universal option. The house is not big and not small - the area 109.1 m2, suitable for both holidays and permanent residence. The strengths of the project include:

the presence of three bedrooms located in one wing of the house. Two bathrooms are conveniently located near them to make all household members as comfortable as possible;
large living room with fireplace and access to the terrace;
the kitchen is combined with the living room, but if desired, you can erect a partition;
the covered terrace can easily accommodate a dining table for all the numerous household members;
in the hallway you can place a spacious wardrobe;

there is room for .

They built a country house using frame technology plus a small veranda. The cost turned out to be quite economical, and the time frame was 3 and a half months. We even finished it a couple of weeks earlier than promised. We only go to the dacha in the summer, so I can’t say anything about thermal insulation. Thank you

Thank you very much for building a house made of aerated concrete. The quality of both the material and work is excellent - FRIENDS WILL BE JEALOUS. Time frame for completed work: a house was built from scratch in approximately 4.5 months. Good luck to all of you, good clients and big houses!!

They built our house in 3 months (they started the foundation at the end of summer, and finished the walls and interior decoration in the fall), it wasn’t cheap, but everything was thought out, our participation was minimal. This year we are building a bathhouse together with them! Thank you for such professional guys that you provided us with!

Thank you so much for your work and attitude! Everything is efficient, high quality, fast! Thanks to the team led by Alexey!

The company built me a great summer house! I don’t have any complaints about the company; next summer I’m going to build a bathhouse and a garage. I’ll definitely contact them. Thanks to everyone, especially Sergei’s team, who built it for me, a lot depends on them!

We built a house from aerated concrete in your company - I’m very pleased. The house was erected on our pre-prepared foundation in 45 days. And as a gift we received home insurance for a year. So I recommend it.

In August 2017, I ordered a foundation (monolithic slab) for a house in the Leningrad region. In 2018 I already ordered the house itself. I can recommend it because... We were pleased with the result. Everything was done quickly and professionally.

We ordered a house and garage from this company in the summer of 2016. The builders worked for about 4 months, without a break (they really liked it). Everything was done according to the agreement, no extra money was asked.

Frequently asked questions before construction

About company

How long has your company been in business?

Our company began work as a repair and finishing company in 2007. From that moment on, we have grown into the construction industry and all thanks to our employees. Special thanks for the work invested in the development of the company.

How is the competence of specialists confirmed?

All architects and engineers of the company have qualification certificates. Because the project is not subject to a company license, but to an architect’s certificate. By law, responsibility for the project lies with the architect.

Does your company do all the work? Or do you use contractors?

We ourselves carry out general construction and finishing work, site arrangement, installation of engineering systems (electricity, home heating, water supply) and so on.
We invite contractors to work that we do not perform every day and require specialization, for example: production and installation of windows and doors (special orders), air conditioning systems, boiler room equipment, installation of wells, septic tanks.
Searching, attracting, complying with agreements and monitoring the performance of work by contractors is our task.
We carry out 80% of all work on the construction of your home ourselves and only 20% involve contractors.
We enter into an agreement with each contractor in which he specifies a guarantee for the work performed by him, and in case of malfunctions, their elimination is the responsibility of the contractor.

Is it possible to see objects that are currently in operation?

Yes, there are objects that we can show at different stages of work and houses that have already been commissioned by prior arrangement.

about the project

Should I buy a standard project or order an individual one?

Buy a ready-made project.

Plus is the price.
The downside is that it will not include all your wishes regarding materials and layouts. Also, it will require modification to suit the characteristics of your site.

Buy a ready-made project and modify it.

It all depends on the changes you want to make. It is possible that developing an individual project will be more profitable for you than modifying a standard one.

The cost of such modifications must be discussed during the meeting.

Development of an individual house project.

Pros: all your wishes regarding all characteristics of the house and site are taken into account.
The downside is that the cost of such a project is higher than a standard one.

BUT! You can develop an individual project for free. If our company builds, then the development of an individual project is free for you.

How is an individual project developed?

The development of an individual project begins with the signing of a contract and the first meeting with the architects, at which the client voices his wishes. Based on the results of the meeting, a design assignment is drawn up, which is an annex to the contract.
Architects prepare several versions of sketches and decide with the client in which direction to move next. Over the entire design period, several meetings take place with the client, at which all architectural and design solutions are worked out in detail until the client is satisfied with everything, which he confirms with a signature on the Draft Design.
Next, a working draft is developed. This is the calculation phase of each design solution in which the client is not involved.
This entire process takes from 2 weeks to 2 months, after which the client receives a finished project with ready-made detailed calculations, which is necessary when submitting documents for a building permit.

About construction

Will you go to the site where construction is planned?

Yes. When inspecting the site, we take into account the size, access from the road and its width, the proximity of neighboring buildings, the presence of a slope or drop, cardinal directions and what kind of soil is on the site.

Do you help with choosing a site for construction?

Yes. Our specialists help with site selection. They will help you find it according to your requirements on the Internet with advertisements.

What affects the final price of a home?

The cost of building a house is affected by:

site features: relief, entry conditions, location
materials used in construction
house architecture features
work conditions (working time restrictions)

What guarantees do you provide?

We provide a 3-year guarantee on our work. The manufacturer provides a guarantee for materials and it is different in each case. There are materials for which the manufacturer provides a lifetime warranty.

How can I control construction?

We send each client a step-by-step photo report of the work.
We install online video surveillance of the facility 24 hours a day, you and the company’s specialists have access to it (paid service).
You can also use the services of companies that provide technical control.
The construction is carried out in stages, you always see which stage and only after accepting one, we proceed to the next.

When is the contract signed?

The design contract is signed at the meeting, before the first communication with the architect.
The construction contract is signed after the estimate has been developed and approved.

When should I pay for your work?

For design, an advance payment is required within 5 days after signing the contract in the amount of 70% of the total amount. The balance is paid upon delivery of the finished project to the client.

Payment for construction is broken down according to the stages specified in the estimate. Each stage of construction is also divided into payments, the size of which may vary (usually due to the need to purchase materials)

How are builders placed?

It will be convenient if you have the opportunity to place construction workers near the construction site; a garden house, a construction trailer, an old house or any other building with a roof will do.
If there is nothing like that, then we are ready to bring our change house for FREE.
In extreme cases, we will accommodate our builders in a nearby hostel

What communications are needed to start construction: electricity, water?

Electricity with a power of at least 5 kW and technical water.

If this is not the case, then we will bring our generators FREE OF CHARGE. In most cases, during wooden construction, water is used only for domestic needs; we will ensure its delivery on our own.

What time of year do you carry out construction?

We build all year round, one of the important conditions in the spring-autumn period is a suitable road for vehicle access.

WHAT CAN WE DO FOR YOU?
	We will help you save by correctly calculating the estimate and choosing high-quality materials.
	Complete high-quality design documentation, thanks to which you can not worry about the design decisions made.

Strength and durability. Brick walls are stronger than wood or frame walls. If the material is of good quality, they will last 100 years and will not be damaged by weather factors.
Rational use of space. The stairs do not take up usable space and do not cause inconvenience to older people. The risk of falls is reduced, which is especially important in families with children.
Moderate weight of the structure. Compared to two- or three-story buildings, the load on the foundation is less. This means the price of a one-story brick house and construction time are reduced.
Variety of projects. With the help of brick it is easy to realize any architectural design. You can erect bay windows, columns and other elements. Our catalog contains solutions in traditional and modern styles.
Environmental friendliness. Bricks are created from natural components. The walls made of them breathe and do not emit harmful substances. They are also not afraid of insects, rodents and fungus. Fire safety is much higher than that of wood.

The best projects of a one-story brick house

The catalog presents convenient and well-thought-out projects of varying sizes and prices. For each, technical characteristics and prices are indicated, there is a photo and a layout diagram. All options can be adapted to any type of soil or local climatic conditions. We are ready to make small changes for free!

Here are some interesting and popular solutions.

"Ulyana." Small cozy house with one bedroom. The living room has access to the veranda.
"Bunin". The veranda with an area of 30 m2 will become a favorite vacation spot for a large family or company.
"Illinois". Stylish and modern house with high ceilings, large windows and second light in the living room.
"Grinn." A large area, three bedrooms, a cozy veranda with a stove - ideal for a family nest.
"Carpathians". A solid chalet-style building with a separate kitchen, a spacious children's room and an attic room.

In the WoodHouse company, the cost of a brick one-story house is the most favorable, because we work without intermediaries and produce our own materials. It is possible to take advantage of a discount, installment plan or take out a loan. Call us or leave a request on the website, and we will build a reliable house for you in just 1.5-2 months!

Building your own home is the dream of many people. But building housing is much more expensive than buying an apartment, so many people build one-story houses.

Design Features

If we compare a one- and two-story building, the first type has a number of advantages:

Saving on building materials - one-story houses require less basic materials (bricks, blocks or wood). In addition, the cost of arranging the foundation will be lower, since a one-story house requires a less solid foundation than a building with more floors.
It is much easier to plan what ventilation should be like and arrange a water supply system, sewerage system and utilities.
Construction work takes less time.
Small houses give a greater sense of intimacy - neighbors are not visible behind a high fence, so the level of personal comfort increases.
Living in such a house is safe for families with small children and elderly people, for whom moving up the stairs can cause injury.
The arrangement and repair of facades will be much easier.
Due to their small size, all architectural elements can be laid out manually, forming stylish arches, columns and even figures.
You can build a one-story house with your own hands without involving third-party specialists.

The disadvantages of one-story residential buildings include the fact that they require more space than two-story ones. A high-rise building with a similar usable area will take up much less space.

One-story residential buildings with an area of less than 120 m² are quite difficult to design in such a way as to create a layout that is convenient for everyone and to separate the front area from private rooms. Only an additional floor provides this opportunity.

Material selection

Most often, brick is used to build one-story houses. This material has maintained its popularity for many decades due to the fact that production technologies for building materials are constantly being improved. The new generation of bricks has improved performance characteristics, which makes it possible to build strong and durable houses.

Several types of bricks are used in construction:

Construction brick- one of the most common modifications of brick. It is used for the construction of walls with their further cladding.
Ceramic porous brick It has exceptionally high sound and heat insulation properties, which significantly reduces space heating costs. It has excellent architectural parameters and allows you to build a stylish and attractive building. The only drawback of such bricks is its high cost.
Sand-lime brick has high noise absorption, but its thermal insulation properties leave much more to be desired, so this brick is used only for arranging an external wall, the thickness of which includes 2 or even 3 layers, as well as for forming internal load-bearing partitions.

The construction of brick houses has its own nuances:

You should not hope that the construction of a brick house will be quick. The material is small in size, so it will take quite a long time to build the walls.
You should not start construction work in autumn or winter. In this case, the strength of the masonry will be insufficient, and the building may collapse.
Brick houses warm up more slowly, so it will take quite a long time to heat the room. In this situation, it makes sense to seek help from professionals who can develop the most energy-efficient project.

If efficiency and speed of construction are important to you, then you should give preference to a material such as aerated concrete.

For example, if you compare it with brick, the savings can reach 20%, however, to achieve this figure You will need to follow several important rules:

The foundation must be monolithic, since in this case the reinforced concrete slab allows for the required level of stability of the building.
All work with aerated concrete must be carried out at positive temperatures in the range from 5 to 25 degrees. If you work in low temperatures, you will need to buy special frost-resistant glue, and if you build a house in the heat, you will need to constantly wet the blocks.
When working, it is necessary to use additional reinforcement of walls and openings near windows and doors. This will give additional strength to the masonry.

You cannot move into a house immediately after its construction - the building must “stand” for several months so that everything dries and “sets” completely.

Aerated concrete is the best option for those who are building on a limited budget. In addition, this material is characterized by high fire resistance, breathability and environmental safety.

Foam block also belongs to the category of economical materials for the construction of one-story buildings.

Please note that foam block is not intended for the construction of houses of 2 floors or more, since it is not able to withstand heavy reinforced concrete floors.

The foam block is made by mixing concrete with special foaming additives, this makes it possible to achieve greater energy efficiency of the material and significantly reduce its weight. Compared to aerated concrete, foam concrete is more hygroscopic and does not require additional moisture insulation.

Modern manufacturers produce blocks of different sizes, so consumers have the opportunity to choose the optimal building material for each individual project.

Ceramic block is considered a very high quality material, which provides the required level of strength and energy efficiency of the building. This material is a mixture of expanded clay, reinforcing frame and cement.

Unfortunately, the material is quite expensive. In addition, construction requires special equipment, so using it for one-story buildings is not economically profitable.

Another type of block is shell rock products, which have the highest cost among similar building materials. They are made from marine sedimentary masses and have good performance characteristics:

high noise absorption;
low thermal conductivity;
vapor permeability;
long service life;
environmental friendliness.

In addition, the material has healing properties, because during the formation of the rock it is saturated with sea salt and iodine. Thanks to this, a healthy microclimate is maintained in the premises.

In addition, the presence of iodine in the structure of the substance reliably protects the blocks from radiation.

But it is necessary to note the disadvantages of shell rock:

the absence of any unified block shapes (finding two blocks of the same shape is an almost impossible task);
the need for additional waterproofing;
fragility of the blocks, which significantly complicates their transportation and loading.

One-story houses are often built from wood. This material is environmentally friendly and gives the walls the opportunity to “breathe”. However, it requires constant treatment with antiseptic solutions and fire retardants, which increase the flammability of wood and make living comfortable and safe.

Color solutions

If you want your entire facade to be made in one color scheme, then we advise you to use the recommendations of designers who have long compiled a list of the most preferred colors for a one-story house. After all, it is far from a secret that it is the appearance that can show guests the individuality and character of the family that lives in the house.

Each shade has certain characteristics:

Chocolate color. This is a universal tone that is relevant at any time. The color is noble and soft, it is more positive than black. It also goes well with green lawns, white frames and railings.
Baby blue- this is a cheerful, but nevertheless quite calm and even relaxing shade that is reminiscent of the summer sky and calm sea. All designers agree that houses made in the color “blue silk” have a very attractive appearance.

Creamy white- This is an option that is considered ideal for regions with hot climates. Not only does it create a fresh feeling, but it also goes well with any roof color and looks great when surrounded by bright greenery and a variety of flowers.
Natural green– a color that creates a slightly magical atmosphere, reminiscent of the bright colors of a summer forest and ancient village traditions.

Rich gray. Many people do not like the gray color in the exterior, however, there are also many admirers of this shade. It has some mystery, but at the same time it fits harmoniously into the environment and becomes truly part of the landscape.
Yellow tint good for families with children. It creates an environment of cheerfulness, positivity and harmony.
Red color you don’t often see it in home decoration (we’re not talking about red brick houses here), which is not surprising, because red is suitable only for those who are not afraid to stand out in the gray mass and strive to give an unforgettable look to their home.

Oddly enough, but there are fans black shade in the arrangement of a one-story house. This is certainly a classic color, but it is the most difficult to use, since all contrasts must be thought out as competently as possible. It is optimal if it is combined with white windows and doorways of the same shade, only then will the black house look truly stylish.
Beige- This is the most popular color in the design of small houses. Such buildings also look good surrounded by flowers. In winter, their appearance is also very aesthetic, so this color can rightfully be called universal.

Current architecture

One-story houses are distinguished by a special architecture, which is designed to create a feeling of space and comfort.

Let's look at the most popular styles for small cottages:

Classic is a brick house with a slate roof that looks really warm and cozy. No unnecessary details are needed here - only simple, laconic forms, neat windows and traditional doors. All decorative elements should be simple. Such a house would be an excellent home for both a young couple and a large family.
Vanguard– the complete opposite of the classics. This is a rather unexpected solution for low-rise buildings, but, nevertheless, it is stylish and interesting. It combines provocative colors and shapes; asymmetry and bizarre curves predominate in the architecture.

Bio-tech – eco-style, in which the expressiveness of structures is achieved by borrowing elements of living nature in architecture. Green roofs are often installed here, and the building itself is designed as part of the landscape and complemented with a veranda.
Functionalism- another modern trend that involves large volumes of glazing, strict geometric shapes and the absence of any excesses in the exterior.
Japanese style quite often used in the architecture of one-story houses. This is a very interesting solution; the houses here are built in such a way that they are almost completely visible on one side and firmly closed on the other.

Wright style houses is a striking example of a building that looks like part of the overall landscape; natural shades, a flat roof and stone cladding predominate here. Such houses may differ in their appearance, however, a single principle remains - the most harmonious connection with the environment.
Scandinavian style- This is a fashionable trend that is widely used for both interior and exterior decoration. Scandinavian architecture is characterized by panoramic glazing, allowing sunlight into every corner of the house, an abundance of open and closed terraces and light shades.

Ideas for different layouts

If you have at least minimal technical skills, then you can draw up a layout plan for your one-story house yourself, regardless of the area of the future house - 70, 100, 120, 150 or 200 square meters. m.

When planning a room, you need to pay attention to several important points:

Dimensions of the site. The house should not occupy the entire plot; in any case, there should be some free space at its edges. If you build a house next to a fence, it will shade the windows, preventing sunlight from penetrating into the living spaces.
Number of rooms. Even before starting work, you should clearly understand how many rooms you need and what purpose they should be. The more living spaces you need, the more compact they will be. Therefore, there are two main options here: either reduce the number of rooms, combining, for example, a kitchen and a dining room, a children’s bedroom and a playroom, or sacrifice their size.

If a house is being built from scratch, then it is important to take into account the availability of utilities. The main line with sewerage, water supply and gas must pass in close proximity to the house. Otherwise, you will have to spend a lot of money connecting them to a residential building.
The standard layout of a one-story residential house, as a rule, includes a kitchen and the required number of bedrooms. In this case, the dimensions of the rooms must correspond to their purpose. A bedroom for a married couple can be made small, but the room where children relax should be made more spacious.
The design of the bathroom is also of fundamental importance. It can be separate or combined. If you live as a family, then you should give preference to the first option, so that household members can simultaneously use separate rooms.
If you have free space for a small room, then it is worth turning it into a utility unit where you can store dishes and provisions.

If desired, all the necessary premises can be placed even in a small area, therefore small houses of 8x8 m and more spacious buildings with dimensions of 10x10 or 12x12 can become a comfortable home for the whole family.

It is worth considering a couple of layout options for one-story houses, which will allow you to fully experience the ergonomics of one-story buildings:

Houses with dimensions of 8 x 8 and 8 x 10 require maximum thought - every square meter should be used here. Very often such structures are supplemented with a basement or attic. Such solutions can significantly increase the usable area, but not as much money will be spent on this as on the main building.
A more spacious room may have dimensions of 8 x 10, 10 x 10, 10 x 12 or 12 x 12; it is optimal for a family with one or two children. There is space for several bedrooms, a large kitchen, as well as a relaxation and reception area.

If after building a house there is a small space left in the yard, you can use it for a garage, which will become not only a parking area, but also a “warehouse” where things that are not currently in use will be stored.

If you wish, you can also arrange an interior in a one-story house consisting of three, four or even five rooms, the main thing is to approach the planning responsibly and rationally.

The construction of your own one-story private house should begin with drawing up a plan and estimate of work that can give a clear idea of the technical capabilities of housing and the funds required for its arrangement.

As in many areas, new products and technologies are also being created in the construction field, surprising us with their properties. But despite all these advances, the use of traditional masonry materials such as brick in custom construction remains popular. One-story brick houses, the projects of which are presented in the catalog, are practical, high-quality and reliable. Each plan for the project of a one-story brick house from the section is described in detail, contains sketches, diagrams, information about the cost of the project and the parameters of the future house.

In the article we propose to familiarize yourself with the properties of brick, the intricacies of working with it, as well as its advantages and disadvantages.

Plans for one-story brick houses: advantages of masonry material

Many continue to build residential one-story houses from brick, due to the many advantages inherent in this masonry material. Among all, it is worth highlighting the following:

The wide color palette of masonry and facing bricks allows you to implement a modern, original design of one-story brick houses.
Projects of one-story brick houses of any degree of complexity can be implemented due to the variety of brick sizes (one-and-a-half, single, double and their combinations).
Brickwork is quite simple, so private one-story beautiful brick houses can be built independently.
Ready-made projects of brick one-story houses promise the construction of reliable houses, since brick is characterized as a durable material.
Typical one-story brick houses are characterized by good sound absorption by load-bearing walls if the design is properly calculated.
The price of a brick depends on the manufacturer and its brand, and may be lower than the price of other masonry materials, which makes it possible to implement turnkey inexpensive projects of one-story brick houses.
Brick is the best environmentally friendly material because it is made from natural ingredients. Consequently, one-story brick houses are environmentally friendly and safe to live in. It is for this reason that developers are increasingly choosing one-story brick houses. The projects, photos of which are posted on the site, are durable, high quality and beautiful.

On the website you can see photographs of one-story brick houses built according to the Z500 projects.

Project plans for one-story brick houses: construction disadvantages

When deciding to build turnkey one-story brick houses, you must remember that brick has the following weaknesses:

Brick gives off heat faster than other masonry materials. Wide cement-sand joints enhance heat transfer. In order to reduce the heat transfer of cottages, for the construction of which projects of one-story brick houses were used (photos, videos, drawings are posted on the website), it is necessary to insulate them along the facade. This unpleasant moment, which increases cost estimates, sometimes forces developers to choose warmer masonry technologies.
Not every brick manufacturer guarantees the accuracy of geometric proportions.
Low-grade clay, which can be used for brick production, leads to waterlogging of the product and its rapid destruction. Therefore, if developers want to build reliable and beautiful one-story brick houses, they must be meticulous in the choice of masonry material.
Brick may break during transportation. To avoid this, it is necessary to use a transverse version of the relay together with a longitudinal one. This is especially true for low quality bricks.
Completed projects of one-story brick cottages are often characterized by the appearance of efflorescence on the walls. This is facilitated by the presence of a large number of chemicals in bricks, which impair the environmental friendliness of the product.

Brick one-story houses: important information about the material

The use of different brick manufacturing technologies gives it different characteristics. For example:

The porosity of the brick affects the heat transfer performance of the product. The heat transfer coefficient for different types of bricks differs and can range from 0.43-0.95 W/mK. The project of a brick one-story house, for the implementation of which brick with a heat transfer rate of 0.43 W/mK was used, is the warmest.
According to GOST, the degree of water absorption of bricks should be at the level of 8%. When implementing a project for a one-story brick house, it is prohibited to use dry-process bricks, which have the maximum water absorption value, for the construction of basements.

In this section of our collection (updated in 2017), we offer to select and buy one-story brick houses, photos of which are attached to the architectural projects. At the request of the customer, they can be included in the project of a one-story brick house. The layout of one-story brick houses can also be adjusted.

You can also order one-story brick houses. In this case, the layout of one-story brick house projects will best meet the customer’s wishes.

We wish you to find in the collection of Z500 projects a one-story brick house, the price, parameters and layout of which will suit you!
