Projects of country houses made of 6x8 timber. Projects of houses and baths. Deciding on the construction material

This option is considered a classic. It is convenient, practical and does not take up much space on the site. Can be created in a small area. Optimally on land of six acres. The first objects appeared in the 80s of the last century and were one-story. Since then, houses made of 6 by 8 timber have increased in popularity. Projects have changed significantly. Large sanitary rooms and boiler rooms appeared in their arrangement. They are built with attics, where there is additional space for guests to relax. The terrace is convenient for spending pleasant evenings with friends and family. Previously, profiled timber was used for unheated cottages. Now it is being sheathed and insulated, which makes the building more comfortable for permanent residence.

The reliability of the design depends on the quality of the array used. Our company chooses good wood. Glued raw materials cannot meet construction requirements. It is not durable and is prone to drying out and cracking. In addition, glue is a harmful impurity. Such a building will no longer meet environmentally friendly requirements. Therefore, it is important for us to choose high-quality building materials.

The Gnezdom company has been building frame houses from timber for more than 10 years. The 6x8 frame house project attracts with its durability, reliability, heat saving, affordable price, high quality materials and workmanship. This type of housing has a number of advantages:

environmental friendliness and safety;
natural ventilation and air exchange;
construction in a short time;
the ability to perform work all year round;
availability of components.

Designers and engineers will calculate the optimal number of load-bearing and enclosing beams for structural strength. Openings for windows and doors are installed in the finished frame. The inside of the house is insulated with mineral wool. To improve vapor permeability and air exchange with the environment, a diffusion membrane and a vapor barrier are used inside the walls. The membrane retains moisture from the outside, and the vapor barrier regulates internal evaporation.

How much does a 6x8 frame house cost?

The price of frame houses depends on the materials used, area and complexity of the structure. Gnezdom managers will calculate the preliminary cost and duration of work depending on the client’s order.

The 6x8 house category is distinguished by the large number of projects presented. The variety of offers is a consequence of the high demand for houses with a low price, but with a living space sufficient for a comfortable stay for an average family. Such houses contain all the necessary premises for a comfortable life. Houses of 6 by 8 meters are ordered not only for summer cottages, but also as residential buildings for permanent residence with mandatory additional options.

Please note that project options D33, D36, D38, D39, D45, D48 are suitable for country house construction, since they are essentially 6x6 houses with an attached terrace, vestibule or utility block.

Layout options

The types of houses presented in this category differ not only in the area of internal premises and external diversity, but also in the possibility of changes in the form of moving partitions and equipping additional rooms. Houses measuring 6 by 8 meters are quite easily subject to redevelopment (layout) according to the “taste” of the Customer, if these wishes do not “go against” the technologies of high-quality construction.

Individual preferences sometimes go beyond the projects presented. In this case, the customer can offer his own solution for a 6x8 house, and our task is to create a project in accordance with the client’s wishes.

Like most timber construction projects available for order, 6x8 houses are built from timber “shrink-fit” or “turnkey”, as well as using frame technology for finishing or with finishing.

Shrinkage construction

A method that allows you to invest relatively small funds in construction, leaving the costs of finishing work for later. Suitable for those who are not in a hurry, or want to carry out independent work on insulation and finishing, possibly in stages as funds become available.
But it should be taken into account that the option of building a 6x8 house “for shrinkage” in the final estimate will turn out to be more expensive than building it immediately with finishing (“turnkey”). Since building a house in two stages will not only take up precious time, but will also force you to fork out for several deliveries of building materials, additional accommodation for the crew and a seasonal increase in the price of building materials.

Materials for building 6x8 houses

Timber version

It depends on the chosen construction option: timber or frame. We use softwood lumber.

When choosing a timber construction option, the Customer has a choice of 2 types of profile: straight and lunar profile. Climatic conditions and seasonality of stay influence the determination of the thickness of external walls; it is possible to order timber with a thickness of 190, 140 and 90 mm. The most optimal thickness of timber for a 6x8 house is 140 (150) mm; we do not recommend building such a large house from 90 (100) mm timber.
The house is assembled from profiled timber with natural moisture, but thanks to lumber harvested in winter (usually in the spring and until late summer) and the tongue-and-groove profile system, as well as sealing material, the appearance of cracks in the enclosing structures is minimized. If the client wants to get a 6x8 house made of timber with finishing, then we strongly recommend ordering kiln-drying timber and assembly of the house using birch dowels, casing boxes and slabs for an additional payment.

Frame option

The frame version of houses 6x8 meters is made with a heat-insulating layer of varying thicknesses of 100, 150 or 200 mm. To construct the structure frame, we recommend using treated lumber with natural moisture content or kiln-dried material.

The internal cladding of the house is mounted from high-quality euro-lining of grade "B" with a thickness of 12.5 mm, chamber-drying, and for external finishing, lining of a thickness of 14-16 mm is used, also of grade "B" of chamber-drying! Both internal and external finishing can be replaced with timber simulator, stil lining, blockhouse or other material as agreed.

The SK DomaStroy company offers two main types of foundations for 6 by 8 houses as an option: piles and strip. The foundation will ensure the reliability and durability of the house, regardless of the type and condition of the soil.
For the roof we use a common and aesthetic bitumen sheet material - Ondulin. At the request of the client, Ondulin can be replaced with metal tiles, corrugated sheets or flexible (soft) tiles.

When planning the construction of a house, the presence of a heating stove should be provided for in advance. Since even at the stage of building the foundation, the place where the stove will stand will most likely need to be further strengthened, and the partitions will need to be designed in such a way as to comply with fire safety rules.

We can select and install a heating stove that is most suitable for the selected project, or install a stove provided by the client for 20-25 rubles.
We cooperate with well-known stove manufacturers and help our customers choose heating from the most reliable brands.

The construction of any house from this series, thanks to proven technology, rarely takes more than three weeks. The experience of carpenters and the quality of workpieces allow us to build aesthetic and comfortable housing for seasonal or permanent stay in any climatic zone.

All order details can be clarified using the contact information on the company’s website.

Houses of 6x8 meters are considered the most popular type of building in modern construction. Projects of this size are very popular among developers, as they save land area and make it possible to create comfortable housing with an excellent layout. These buildings are well suited for small and narrow areas; they can be used as a country house or as a full-fledged residential option.

For the construction of such houses, various building materials are used, and thanks to a correctly drawn up plan, miniature buildings can easily accommodate not only a living room, several bedrooms, a kitchen, but also enough space for arranging a boiler room, a dressing room and a bathroom.

Design Features

One-story building

A house project of 8 by 6 meters with one floor is most often chosen by couples or small families who do not require a lot of space to live. Most often, such buildings contain main rooms, a bathhouse and a boiler room.

Many owners also add a separate terrace or veranda to them, resulting in a luxurious place for summer relaxation.

A one-story house is very popular because it has a number of advantages, including:

Beautiful appearance.
Fast construction process.
Possibility of installing the building on the ground.
Saving land area.
Low heating costs.

In order to improve the thermal insulation of rooms and enhance lighting, it is recommended to place all rooms to the south. If the building is located in a windy zone, then you need to plant dense plantings and reduce the number of windows. The same applies to the terrace; it is best to allocate a place on the south side, while an eastern or northern location is suitable for the bathroom and kitchen.

The interior layout depends entirely on the number of people living in the house.

Traditionally, a project might look like this:

Living room. She is given no more than 10 m2. To rationally use the space, it is recommended to combine the living room with the kitchen, after which you will get one room measuring 20-25 square meters. m.
Bathroom. A good option would be a combined room with a toilet and a bathroom. This will simplify the arrangement and save on finishing work.

Bedroom. If you are planning one room, then it can be made large, up to 15 m2; for a project with two bedrooms, you will have to allocate two rooms of 9 m2 each.
Boiler room. It is usually installed next to the toilet or kitchen. The boiler room can occupy up to 2 square meters. m.
Corridor. Since the house is small, the length and width of this room will have to be reduced.

To increase the net dimensions of the building, the walls should be insulated from the outside. In this case, the hydro- and thermal insulation must be smooth and free of flaws, otherwise additional leveling will be required, which will reduce the usable area. Often, to expand the space, they make house designs without a corridor. In this design, the entrance to the building is directly into the kitchen or living room. As for the hallway, you can allocate a small space for it and place it near the door.

Two-storey house

Families who permanently live outside the city prefer to choose two-story building designs. To properly organize an area of 8x6 m, the usual layout is used, in which the living room, kitchen and toilet are located on the ground floor, and the second floor is allocated for a bedroom, study and bathroom. In addition, the building can be equipped with a balcony.

A 2-story house made of timber looks beautiful, it can have both a framed and lined appearance. At the same time, a wooden house will delight not only with its architectural aesthetics, but will also provide good thermal insulation to the rooms.

The layout of such buildings also lacks a corridor, which results in more free space and simplifies zoning of space. Conventionally, the building is divided into active and passive zones: the active zone contains the kitchen and living room, and the passive zone is intended for the bathroom and bedroom.

As for the second floor, it is suitable for organizing personal space, so it is often used to accommodate one or more bedrooms.

When planning the premises, it is important to provide a convenient location for the bathroom; it should be accessible from both the first and second floors. The dining room, kitchen and living room can be combined into one room, creating visual zoning using furniture and various finishing materials. This will create the illusion of a large space. In this case, it is advisable to place the kitchen close to the bathroom, thanks to this it will be possible to use the same communications in two rooms.

The main decoration of the building will be the staircase, therefore, in order to further highlight it against the general background of the interior, it is recommended to install the structure near the hallway. On the second floor, in addition to the bedrooms, you can also place a children's room.

If the family consists only of adults, then instead of a nursery, it is recommended to arrange a study.

The second floor will have good sound insulation, which will allow you to work quietly and fully relax.

With attic

A private house of 8x6 meters with an attic is considered not only an excellent housing option that can be equipped in an original way, but is also an example of an economical type of construction, allowing significant savings on construction and finishing. The attic space in such buildings can be used as a living room, thereby increasing the planning possibilities.

Usually on the ground floor there is a large kitchen-living room and hall, and on the second floor there is a bedroom. The design of a house 8 by 6 m2 is good because it provides for a large number of living rooms, a beautiful hall with a staircase and an additional floor. If the upper room is not used in winter, then it must be separated with a thick door, which will reliably protect the building from cold air flows.

There are many designs for a house with an attic, but in each of them the hall is considered the main room; it acts as the central room from which you can access any area of the building. Often the hall is connected to the living room, resulting in a large and spacious room.

This option is suitable for families who often have guests.

In addition, this layout is very convenient: the family gathers around one large table, and then each of the residents can relax comfortably in their own room.

Typically, such houses have two entrances, and the kitchen can be entered through a side staircase. This makes cleaning easier, since all the dirt from the street remains in only one room. A project with a separate entrance to the kitchen is also well suited for owners who like to grow herbs and vegetables in the garden, thus all fresh products go directly to the cutting table. For young families planning to have children in the future, it is necessary to provide in the house not only a bedroom, but also a children's room and play corners. A small sports area wouldn't hurt either.

Houses 8x6 meters can be provided with small spray cans, and if you install one French balcony, it will become an original part of the living room. The space for a dressing room in a building is allocated at the personal discretion of the owners; as a rule, the area of the house allows it to be equipped with a size of up to 2 m2, where the most necessary cabinet furniture can be conveniently placed. The design of such housing for a family of three requires the presence of a kitchen, hall and living room. Moreover, all of the above rooms can be further zoned. To give the house a cozy look, it is recommended to add a small veranda.

You can see different designs of houses with an attic in the following video.
