Popular guest house projects with a bathhouse

Since personal plots are most often characterized by small sizes, home craftsmen use a variety of tricks to “squeeze” a maximum of functional buildings into a limited space. This is how projects of one-story houses with a garage and a bathhouse are created.

Everyone knows that a garage, a bathhouse and a residential building are buildings with completely different requirements and features. Therefore, they should be combined correctly, taking into account all the nuances that are characteristic of these buildings. We will talk about the features that house designs with a sauna and garage have in this article.

Construction of a house and a bathhouse under one roof

There are two ways to build a house and a bathhouse under an adjacent or common roof:

• provide for the construction of a full-fledged steam room and washing department at the stage of designing the house;
• attach a bathhouse to a previously built house.

According to statistics, in most cases a bathhouse is attached to an already finished house.

Adding a bathhouse is a multi-stage process, including the following work:

• Foundation extension;
• Walling;
• Completion of the roofing system;
• Flooring;
• Interior finishing works.

Foundation

We begin construction with our own hands from the foundation. In the place where we are planning an extension, we will need to open the foundation of the house and lay a new foundation at the same level.

Important: Laying the foundation for the extension should be carried out using the same technologies and materials that were used in the construction of the main house.

A universal solution is to install a monolithic strip foundation.

The construction instructions include the following steps:

1. A trench is dug along the perimeter of the walls of the future building. The depth of the trench is determined by the depth of soil freezing. As a rule, a depth of 1 meter is sufficient.
2. A trench is being dug for utility lines. In this case, it is a drainage system. If the house is connected to a centralized sewer system, the trench is led towards the site where the nearest cut into the pipe can be made. If the house is not connected to the sewer system, a trench is dug in the direction of a pre-arranged drainage hole.

Preparation for water drainage

1. A pipe is laid in a trench for utility lines at the required slope and covered with soil.
2. The trench under the foundation is filled 2/3 with layers of coarse sand and crushed stone. The backfill is moistened with water and compacted.
3. Next, formwork is done so that the foundation level is 20 cm above the ground.
4. The formwork is filled with concrete filled with coarse crushed stone or rubble stone.
5. The surface of the foundation is smoothed and covered with waterproofing in the form of roofing felt and bitumen mastic.

Walling

Construction of walls from foam blocks

The walls are raised using the same material that was used to build the main house. If the house is brick, the walls can be raised either from brick or from foam blocks, the price of which is more affordable. In order to join the walls of the extension and the main building, you can use a bunch of reinforcing bars.

Holes are drilled into the walls of the main building for pieces of reinforcement. The rods are driven into the holes so that their opposite end is embedded in the masonry of the walls of the extension. The walls of the extension rise a couple of bricks lower than the height of the walls of the main building.

Roofing system

The roof of the extension is made pitched so that its highest point adjoins the wall of the house and thus goes under the main roof. The ceilings are built from 100 * 100 mm timber or from a board of the same width laid on edge. Lathing is made from below and above the beams , in which steam and heat insulation is laid.

The roof rafters are mounted so that the angle of inclination is 20%. Asbestos-cement slate can be used as a roofing material as the most cost-effective solution. All cracks and gaps where the slate adjoins the wall of the main house are sealed with polyurethane foam.

Making the floor

Floor screed in the washing room

The simplest and most effective method of arranging a floor is pouring a screed. The screed is poured with a slight slope in the direction of the bath drain pipe. At the same stage, a drain ladder is installed. It is recommended to use ceramic tiles with a textured non-slip surface as a floor covering.

Finishing work

Wall cladding with wooden clapboard

Interior decoration consists of covering the walls and ceiling of the bathhouse and house with wooden clapboard. As an alternative to lining, strong and durable ceramic tiles can be used for wall cladding. At the same stage, the equipment necessary for operating the bathhouse is installed, including special furniture, a stove, electrical wiring to sockets and lighting fixtures, etc.

Features of guest house projects

Modern guest house designs are usually divided into categories depending on what material they are made of.

This is how houses built from:

• bricks;
• profiled timber;
• wood;
• foam blocks.

It is worth noting that among Russians those architectural designs of buildings that provide for the construction of a building equipped with one of the additional functions are very popular: a bathhouse, a sauna or a barbecue area.

This is due to the fact that a guest house is, first of all, a place of relaxation, therefore it should be equipped accordingly.

When choosing a suitable construction option, it is always worth remembering that this building is usually built on a small plot of land, so its owner should pay attention to options that involve construction on a small piece of land. For example, in this case, a guest house with a bathhouse, 6x8 projects, would be suitable.

A house of this size will serve its purpose well, and you can save land for other needs. Additionally, it doesn't make sense to overly clutter up your guesthouse, as having two full-sized residential buildings on the same property is impractical.

Conclusion

Most people who want to can add a bathhouse to their home can do it. But in order for the operation of the extension to meet your expectations, you need to draw up a project and work in accordance with it. (see also the article Projects of houses with a bathhouse under one roof: options). By the way, a professionally developed extension project will make it faster and easier to register it with the cadastral authorities.

Principles for creating the interior of a bath complex

When equipping and decorating a small, bright room, you can use materials that have soft shades:

• beige;
• white;
• light blue and some others.

The use of finishing materials with these shades allows you to visually increase the space inside the room.

When decorating a dark room, it is best to use materials that have bright colors. To decorate the living room, you can use wallpaper with an original pattern; to create comfort in this room, you can put a catchy carpet on the floor.

In the small bedrooms of the guest house-bath, you can install single beds, but it would be more practical to install a folding sofa in such a room. This type of furniture does not take up a large amount of free space and, if necessary, can be folded out to accommodate two guests for the night.

The sofa placed in the guest room should be combined with the overall style that is chosen for the decoration of the entire house.

If there is a lack of financial resources, you should choose the design of the premises from simple and inexpensive options, which are characterized by a high degree of practicality during the operation of the premises.

The most optimal style for decorating premises when there is a lack of financial resources is the style of minimalism, which is characterized by laconic forms and a complete absence of complex ornaments and decorative elements in the design. When using this style in design, the space is not cluttered with furniture. The following materials are used as finishing materials:

• steel;
• frosted glass;
• wood;
• aluminum and some others.

The discreet design of the room is created using high-tech style. When arranging the interior space of a guest house-bathhouse, this style involves the use of a variety of mobile-type partitions that divide the room space into separate zones.

An excellent cozy atmosphere is obtained indoors when using the English style. The main elements of this style are the use of a fireplace, a rocking chair and a cabinet or shelf for books in decoration. To complement the decor, a carpet on the floor and a large number of decorative elements made of wood are used.

Tips for arrangement

To avoid problems with moisture and fire hazards, the wood should be treated. For this purpose, there are fire retardant compounds that minimize the fire hazard. To avoid increased humidity, it is recommended to ventilate and dry the room after each use.

Stages of building a bathhouse inside a private house

The construction stages can be of two options. Arrangement inside a finished room, consideration of a place for a bathhouse when designing a private house. Below we will consider the option of arrangement in finished housing.

1. Room insulation

To arrange a separate place for a bathhouse, you should choose a place with small dimensions. To purchase a stove with low power. It is advisable not to make high ceilings, preferably below 2 meters. Do not forget about convenience; you should properly plan the necessary areas.

To insulate walls, you can use mineral wool, mineral wool with built-in waterproofing.

The same material, but thicker, should be used to seal the ceiling. This will help keep the heat from passing through the ceiling. This will also allow you to purchase a stove with low power.

Next, you should install a vapor barrier hermetically. To do this, you can use aluminum foil, thick polyethylene, and heat-reflecting insulation. Coat the joints or glue them additionally. You also need to remember that the use of flammable materials for thermal insulation and finishing is prohibited.

1. Finishing the steam room area

First do the wiring. For this purpose, special wires are used that can withstand temperatures of more than 170 degrees. Use heat-resistant lamps.

For the steam room floor, it is recommended to choose tiles or flooring made of bars. Cover the walls and ceiling with clapboard, cedar or other materials. Before attaching them, it is worth leaving the slats for the ventilation gap. After covering, the shelves are installed. The upper one can be made static, and the lower one can be made convenient and retractable. It is recommended to install a wooden or glass door.

1. Ventilation placement

It is best to place the hood in a steam room. The ideal place for a supply vent is under or above the stove. To prevent steam from being drawn out from the stove, the hole is located below the stove. If it is difficult to install a hood, you can make a 10-15 cm window under the door to the adjacent room.

There may be no drying hole; an open steam room door does an excellent job of ventilation.

1. Furnace installation

It is better to install an electric oven. For installation, you must follow the recommendations from the manufacturer, and also connect with grounding. It is advisable to install a special wooden fence around the stove for safe use. Cover the heating elements tightly with large stones.
