Chaika 3 House Project: 2-Story, 4 Bedrooms, Aerated Concrete (111 м²)

Chaika 3 House Project — Compact 111 m² Two-Story House with Four Bedrooms

Chaika 3 is a ready-to-build project of a two-story house with a total area of 111.2 m². Featuring four bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room, and a thoughtful layout, this house has compact dimensions of 9.06 × 8.33 m, making it perfectly suited for small or relatively narrow land plots.

The house plan is close to a square shape. This form is the most rational from a construction perspective: it reduces the external wall area and helps optimize material costs. The project is designed for a family of 3–4 people looking for a comfortable two-story home up to 120 m² for permanent residence.

Layout of the Chaika 3 Project

First Floor

The ground floor space is organized for both active living and relaxation:

• Kitchen (12.4 m²) and Living Room (17.3 m²): These rooms are separated by a non-load-bearing partition, which can be removed to create a spacious open-plan studio of nearly 30 m².
• Additional Room (10.0 m²): Can be used as a home office, a guest bedroom, or a room for elderly family members.
• Bathroom and Hall: A compact bathroom with space for a shower cabin. The area under the stairs is designed for a washing machine or a storage zone.

Second Floor

The private zone of the house includes three living rooms:

• Bedrooms: Three bright rooms with areas of 14.4 m², 14.6 m², and 10.0 m².
• Bathroom (6.3 m²): A full-sized bathroom with a window, providing enough space for a bathtub and all necessary plumbing fixtures.
• Dressing Room (2.7 m²): A separate storage space that allows you to keep the bedrooms free from extra wardrobes.

Structural Solutions

• Foundation: Monolithic reinforced concrete strip foundation.
• Walls: Energy-efficient 400 mm aerated concrete blocks (often requiring no additional insulation).
• Floors/Ceilings: Reinforced concrete panels between the first and second floors; wooden beams with 300 mm mineral wool insulation for the attic ceiling.
• Roof: Classic hipped roof suitable for bitumen shingles or metal tiles.
• Ceiling Height: 2.87 m on the ground floor and 2.75 m on the second floor.

Main Advantages of the Chaika 3 Project

1. Cost-Efficiency: The square shape minimizes heat loss and construction material waste.
2. Functionality: Four full living rooms within a very compact total area.
3. Flexibility: The ground floor layout can be easily modified (combining the kitchen and living room).
4. Ideal for Small Plots: The 9x8 m footprint allows the house to be placed even on limited territories.

Conclusion

The Chaika 3 project is a balanced solution for those seeking a rational house design under 120 m². Its compactness, simple construction, and inclusion of all necessary living zones make it an ideal choice for building a modern family cottage.
