Projects one-story houses with parameters 10*12 are now in great demand and for good reason - a home of this configuration is very comfortable, versatile and practical. These dimensions are sufficient to accommodate a family with children. But if you want even more space, you can consider options with an attic.

Example of a house 10*12 m.

Number of floors of the building

Having decided on the parameters of the building, it is worth choosing the number of floors. It could be simple cottage, a house with a basement, attic, or a full second floor. Let's look at the features, pros and cons of each option.

Features of one-story houses

It is easy to calculate that the area of ​​a one-story building with parameters of 10 * 12 meters will be approximately 120 square meters. m. This square footage is enough to comfortably accommodate a family with children and even elderly parents. One-story houses have a number of advantages:

• cheaper construction compared to attic and two-story houses;
• ease of communication;
• ease of foundation construction;
• the absence of stairs is more preferable for families with children and the elderly;
• simpler and cheaper maintenance/repair of the building.

Also when choosing a project one-story house 10*12 meters, you can implement any architectural style, choose finishing materials for the facade and roof, and provide a connected garage.

Usually with a square area of ​​120 sq. m there is the following distribution of area by room:

• several bedrooms of 10-12 sq. m each;
• living room up to 20 sq. m;
• The kitchen combined with the dining room occupies up to 15 square meters. m;
• dressing room up to 12-15 sq. m;
• a study or guest room takes up to 10 square meters. m;
• the rest of the area goes to the bathroom, storage room, hallway, technical rooms (boiler room).

The number, location and square footage of rooms should be adjusted depending on the needs and composition of each specific family.

The photo above shows one of the layout options for a one-story building. The advantage of the house is that it has 4 bedrooms - quite a lot for one floor. But the disadvantage of this configuration is the small seating area in the living room.

First floor layout.

Each bedroom has a spacious wardrobe, so the need for a separate dressing room No.

If the house has an attic

Attic buildings usually look more impressive and picturesque, and the top floor with a sloping roof attracts with its unusualness and romance! Also, the attic allows you to almost double the total area of ​​the house, while spending less than building a full second floor.
Despite all the advantages and attractiveness of a residential attic space, it is worth considering some nuances:

1. It is necessary to carry out insulation and thermal insulation of the roof very competently and correctly, otherwise the attic will freeze, and there will be a risk of condensation forming, which will shorten the life of the house. Also, such a room can only be used in the warm season.
2. Additional space will be occupied by a staircase. At the same time, it must be properly designed so that operation is safe.
3. Second important point is high-quality waterproofing.
4. Keep in mind that the cost of dormer windows is twice as high as regular windows.
5. Snow may accumulate on the windows and block access sunlight. Also on the attic floor, the noise of rain can cause more trouble and inconvenience.
6. Design difficulties may arise due to non-standard sloping windows.

Typically, houses with an attic have a clear division into zones - the lower floor serves as a common area for the family. There is a kitchen, dining room, living room, work or guest office, and technical rooms. The attic tier is usually used for sleeping at night; a bathroom can also be located here along with several bedrooms. A common practice is to locate a restroom on the ground floor, and an extended bathroom upstairs (with a Jacuzzi or bathtub).

But such a layout is not at all necessary - the attic floor can be partially or fully used as a gym, home theater, billiard room, or children's playroom.

Important: for building a house with parameters of 10*12 meters, plots of at least 4-5 acres are suitable.

Two-story building

A full second floor has a number of advantages, in addition to adding 100% usable space.

1. Two-story buildings look more status.
2. You can install balconies or equip a terrace from which you will have a wonderful view of the site.
3. The cost of constructing the second floor is lower than the cost of constructing the first.

As in the case of an attic, such a house will require the installation of a staircase and a bathroom on the second residential floor; the second floor will get very hot on hot days. Such a house must have a reinforced foundation.

House with ground floor

The basement floor allows you to double the usable space with the same parameters of the house. In the basement you can arrange:

• (for 1 or 2 cars);
• workshop;
• Gym;
• laundry;
• cinema;
• billiard room;
• bedrooms.

However, the arrangement of the basement must be approached thoroughly. It is necessary to take into account annual temperature changes, average level precipitation, level of melt water and groundwater. In a house with a basement monolithic foundation will act as walls. When finishing, only moisture-resistant materials should be used. Also, the base needs to be further strengthened and protected from 50 cm in width. To design the basement floor, you need to contact experienced specialists.

Important! Minimum height the base above the ground is 40 cm and 80 cm for wooden buildings. If functional premises are planned on the ground floor, it should rise above the ground by 1-1.5 m! The higher the base is located, the less dampness there can be in the house.

House project 10 by 12 one-story

One-story house 10 by 12 according to the project: exterior

An experienced architect must take into account some of the specifics of working with projects of one-story houses. Let's see how their nuances are worked out in the proposed project of a one-story square house 12 by 10, while remaining as objective and fair as possible.

This one-story house looks neat and discreet. There are no frills or clever design solutions in it, everything is simple, which means it’s inexpensive.

Covered terrace, which doubles as a large porch leading to the second entrance from the living room. Design a one-story house like this: standard solution, because relaxation requires privacy, and the location of the terrace in front of the entrance would not contribute to this.

The attractive glass door is not him, but the entrance to the living room. The main entrance itself is located in the depths and is not at all similar to the main one, but rather looks like the entrance to a utility storage room or boiler room. The space should intuitively guide. This is not the case here.

Interior of a one-story house 10x12: photo

When working with projects of one-story houses 10 by 12, architects and designers face certain difficulties in creating internal layout of this one-story house. Actually, it’s not difficult to make it, but to make it comfortable is difficult.

First of all, this applies to bedrooms, because it is impossible to move them away from the living room to the second floor. How was this important problem solved in this project?

In the project under consideration for a one-story house 10x12, frankly speaking, the location of the main premises meets the requirements for comfortable living.

So, the bedroom area is clearly marked out. The doors of the bedrooms do not lead directly to the living room, which is highly desirable for many reasons: in particular, the noise of a working TV or playing music will not interfere with rest.

In addition, the house 10 by 12, although one-story, has three bathrooms. And if someone wants to occupy one bathroom, then there are two more guest ones. It's good that the bathroom door does not open into the living room. A guest unfamiliar with the layout of the house will not be able to mistake the door and will not accidentally look into the owner’s bedroom.

Typically, projects of one-story houses 10 by 12 have two bathrooms - one in the bedroom and one common, but here there are three of them, so we note that this is once again an advantage.

In addition, another plus catches your eye - there is a separate window in the kitchen, which is combined with the living room, as is fashionable today. In a room in which the owner must spend a significant portion of his time, a lot of consecration is one of the many advantages.

General impression of the project of a one-story house 12 by 10 with a terrace

Frankly speaking, this 10 by 12 house project is perfect for a comfortable and long-term stay. Convenient and comfortable layout, modern design, laconic appearance - will keep it relevant for many years.

The project of a house 10 by 12 allows you to build large-sized housing relatively large area, able to easily fit on a site of limited size. The choice of number of floors will allow you to easily change its area if it is necessary to accommodate a larger number of residents. The Domamo website offers options finished projects houses 10 by 12 in various styles and designs.

Features of projects

Similar rectangular houses are made in different number of storeys - 1, 2 and 3 floors, which are complemented by an attic and basement rooms. Original exterior solutions, the use of new materials and technologies give them a modern look. Here it is possible to construct such architectural details as bay windows, second-light structures, and fashionable panoramic glazing.

The layout of a 10×12 private house includes a functional set of rooms, the composition of which you can specify in the filter when choosing a development:

• Number and area of ​​bedrooms,
• Features of the living room and dining room (adjacent or combined),
• The number of bathrooms, the presence of a private bath or sauna,
• Separate boiler room, dressing rooms and storage rooms,
• Garage space for 1 or 2 cars.

Also, the standard layout of a 10 by 12 house can be complemented by cozy balconies, loggias or covered terraces, where in the summer you can arrange outdoor dining. Large doors and windows open directly onto them from the living room or kitchen, where food is being prepared for a home celebration.

Standard developments in the catalog are complemented by the possibility of making small changes and completing projects for 10 by 12 cottages from scratch - by individual requirements customer. We also recommend using the turnkey construction service, which is complemented by the supervision of an architect and interior designers.

If the customer became the owner of a sufficiently large land plot, with an area of ​​10 acres or more, he often chooses the plan and design of a 10 by 12 house to build a comfortable cottage. For such clients, our company offers several ready-made solutions made from brick and aerated concrete. These are economical materials that allow the construction of complex structural elements.

Typically, a potential owner is looking for a 10x12 house project with an excellent layout - so that the cottage has several bedrooms, a ground floor, balconies, and other interesting architectural elements. Let's give two ready-made solutions as an example of our work.

1. No. 58-22 - made of aerated concrete with an area of ​​178.8 m 3, with a bay window, attic floor, sauna. This 10 by 12 house with a stone-clad foundation has a radial layout with a central hall. It is elegant and comfortable to live in.
2. No. 35-40 is a one-story building in the Scandinavian style (70 m3) with a large open terrace. Panoramic lighting and monolithic columns give it a stylish modern look.

Features of our offer

Regardless of what kind of cottage the client wants to build: a simple block house, 2 floors with complex elements (bay window, attic), high-quality construction requires a professional house design with an area of ​​10 by 12 meters. These are large dimensions, and the load on the walls must be carefully calculated and materials of appropriate strength must be selected.

Our company has been designing for more than 15 years, so in the catalog you will find many options for cottages of the required size. Using the filter system, you can sort photos of houses by architectural style, wall material, roof structure.

Each of our developments is a complete set of documentation for construction:

• marking and masonry plans, sections of walls and roofs;
• specification of base and finishing materials;
• drawings of individual units, window openings, doors.

This guarantees the reliability of the constructed facility, helps control the work of builders, and eliminates “rework” during construction. At the request of the customer, we will make changes to the project, having previously assessed their feasibility and feasibility.

Having your own corner is the dream of many, and if you have a large family and are planning to build your own spacious mansion, this article will undoubtedly be useful for you. Having enough large plot land, the owner often thinks about what layout for the house is better to choose.

House designs of 10 by 12 meters are very popular among clients. Despite the overall dimensions of such buildings, it can be more difficult to accommodate all the planned rooms than in small houses.

To effectively use all the space, you need to choose the most profitable design option for your home. First, you need to decide what you want your future home to look like.

House options

To do this, you can familiarize yourself with the common options:

• It is convenient to build a one-story house 10 by 12 because the method of division in this case is horizontal. You can get to any room very quickly and the stairs will not become an obstacle;
• a house of 120 square meters with an attic will delight you with additional territory, and it is also economically profitable. Such a structure is very warm and, due to its spaciousness, will be a good option if the site area is small;
• choosing a two-story house 10x12, you already have 2 full floors
• projects of buildings with an attic are boldly replacing one-story houses or houses with an attic. It is convenient to distribute the budget allocated for construction, for example, first complete repairs in the main part of the house, and later complete the attic.

The main factor in the design is the foundation, because it is this that will support the load of the entire house. If the foundation is low around the perimeter, it will not be possible to build a second floor later and the house may seem cramped.

Large houses, of course, are more expensive, firstly, there is a greater amount of materials, and secondly, if the plot of land is small, such a house will take up almost the entire area. The 10 by 12 house plan can be completely varied.

Many design styles, number of floors, the presence of a garage, terrace or attic, all this can be designed individually or use ready-made projects. Of course, each owner decides which house to build primarily based on the budget.

Let's take a closer look at the advantages of each option for private 10x12 houses.

Advantages and disadvantages of a one-story house

First of all, such a house requires less costs for materials for construction and finishing work.

A one-story building makes it easier to work on the walls and foundation, which is the most expensive part of construction.

In addition, this type is more convenient and faster to construct; operation and repair will take significantly less money and time in comparison, for example, with a two- or three-story house.

You can also feel the savings during the installation of heating and electrical systems, because engineers will need much fewer circuits for this type of room.

This type of housing does not provide for stairs, so the space is used more efficiently and safely if the family has small children or pensioners.

The main disadvantage in such dwellings will be associated with the installation of the roof, due to the large area.

Two-story houses 10x12

The layout of a two-story house requires the correct attitude towards the foundation, so its task is doubly complicated.

A competent layout of a 10x12 meter house will provide enough free space to properly place the staircase between floors and use the space near it. Professional designers and builders can easily cope with this task.

What are the benefits of attic houses?

Projects of attic houses have become increasingly popular. Compared to two-story houses, the cost of such cottages is much lower. The area of ​​the attic space depends on the dimensions of the house, but should not extend beyond the main part of the building.

Removal of such a floor is possible if there are proper supports: columns, walls or pendants. The attic space also pleases with a variety of geometric shapes: a triangular or sloping roof, symmetrical or asymmetrical, you can use the entire territory or part of it.

Advantages and disadvantages of such a project:

• increase in living space due to the attic;
• economically beneficial, since expenses in addition to the roof are spent only on insulation and finishing work;
• the building has a beautiful finished appearance, visually looks more status compared to the one-story type;
• the under-roof space is much warmer than the front space;
• the sloping ceiling will allow you to give free rein to the interior design, and due to the attic windows, the rooms will become much brighter;
• the disadvantage is that part of the area is lost;
• the process of heat and waterproofing has a more complex technology.

What materials to choose for construction

The choice of building materials is one of the important stages of construction. Wooden houses increasingly seen in the suburbs of the city. This material is easy to use and looks very stylish, an ideal solution in small, quiet areas. For example, maple timber remains durable in any weather; the environmentally friendly material will create comfort in every home.

Using bricks or concrete blocks for your home is also a good idea. Two-story houses made from such materials will cost much less than wood, but in strength and frost resistance they are in no way inferior to wood.

The owner of a car needs to think about the safety of his iron horse by providing space for a garage. You can increase the area of ​​housing with the help of an additional extension; if the site does not allow you to increase the area in width, use the area under the structure itself.

At the design stage, provide a basement or cellar, as well as a full basement floor. Its range of uses is also wide, for example, an underground garage, a gym, a mini cinema, billiards, a library and much more.

Regardless of what kind of cottage you plan to build: one or two floors, from blocks or bricks, perhaps also additional elements (attic, bay window, garage), construction will not become a burden if you choose the right one at the initial stage.

The key to a comfortable and convenient stay is a properly designed layout that takes into account all the client’s needs - the number of family members, their age, hobbies and type of activity.

Numerous photos of 10 by 12 houses will help you choose the appropriate layout option, but do not forget that professional designers and architects can calculate and streamline all the necessary processes associated with the construction of a house and its implementation. It will be much easier to bring your wildest ideas to life.
