One-story house project “Lemon” with two bedrooms and a terrace (74.6 м²)

Ready-made Project of a One-Story House "Lemon" 74.6 m² with Two Bedrooms

"Lemon" is a ready-made project of a one-story house up to 100 m². The total area of the house is 74.6 m². The layout includes two bedrooms, a kitchen-living room, a bathroom, a separate toilet, a boiler room, a vestibule, and a dressing room or an enlarged technical room depending on the plan option.

The house has dimensions of 9 × 10.6 m, walls made of aerated concrete, and a simple gable roof. Thanks to its compact shape, close to a square, it is convenient to place on the plot, and the structural scheme remains clear for construction.

Layout of the House "Lemon"

The layout of the house is compact: the main rooms are grouped around the hallway and a short corridor. Thanks to this, there are no extra passages in the project, and the usable area is used quite rationally.

The largest room in the house is the kitchen-living room with an area of 28.3 m². It is divided into two functional parts. The kitchen zone with an area of 11.3 m² allows for the placement of kitchen furniture, household appliances, and a dining table for 4–6 people. The recreation area with an area of 17.0 m² is visually separated from the kitchen and is suitable for a sofa, a TV, and daily family relaxation.

The house has two separate bedrooms with an area of 13.0 m² and 11.3 m². The larger one is convenient to use as a parents' bedroom, and the smaller one as a children's room, an office, or a guest bedroom. This option is suitable for a small family, a couple, or older people who prefer to have all premises on one level.

The bathroom with an area of 4.2 m² and a separate toilet of 1.1 m² are located next to the kitchen. This placement simplifies the installation of engineering networks and makes the layout more convenient for construction.

A vestibule with an area of 2.5 m² is provided near the entrance. It helps reduce the penetration of cold air into the living area of the house in winter. In front of the entrance, there is a covered entrance terrace that protects the door from rain and snow, creating a convenient space before entering the house.

Two Boiler Room Options

The "Lemon" project provides two options for the technical zone. In the basic layout, there is a boiler room with an area of 3.0 m² and a separate dressing room of 2.1 m². This option is suitable if a gas or electric boiler is planned for the house.

In the second option, the dressing room is combined with the boiler room, so the technical room is increased to 6.8 m². This is more convenient if more space is required for engineering equipment or a solid fuel boiler. This option does not make the house completely autonomous but gives more freedom in choosing a heating system.

Who is the Project Suitable For

"Lemon" is worth considering for those looking for a compact one-story house for 2–3 people. The project is suitable for permanent or seasonal living, for a young family, a couple, or older people.

The dimensions of 9 × 10.6 m allow the house to be placed on a small or medium-sized plot. At the same time, the layout does not look cramped: the main area is dedicated to the kitchen-living room and two separate rooms, while the technical and auxiliary rooms are compactly gathered near the entrance.

Structures and Materials

The project uses simple and common structural solutions in Ukraine: strip foundations, aerated concrete walls, wooden floors, and a gable roof.

• Foundations: strip monolithic reinforced concrete.
• External walls: aerated concrete blocks 375 mm.
• Floor: on the ground, with insulation 100 mm.
• Flooring: wooden beams.
• Roof: gable with a slope of 27 degrees.
• Roof covering: metal tiles.
• Room height: from floor to beams — 2.9 m.

The gable roof has a simple shape, making it easier to implement during construction. With the correct orientation of the house on the plot, one of the slopes can be used to place solar panels. This solution needs to be verified separately, taking into account the cardinal directions.

Advantages of the "Lemon" Project

A brief overview of the key advantages of the layout and structure:

1. Compactness without feeling cramped: on an area of 74.6 m², two bedrooms, a large kitchen-living room, a bathroom, a separate toilet, a technical room, a vestibule, and storage space are placed.
2. Efficient shape: the shape of the house is close to a square, so the area of the external walls is not increased by unnecessary protrusions. This simplifies construction and helps to use materials more rationally.
3. Practical roof: a simple gable roof does not have a complex geometry, is clear in execution, and blends well with the traditional appearance of the facades.
4. Flexibility of planning: a separate advantage is two options for the boiler room. You can leave a compact technical zone with a dressing room or choose an enlarged room if space for additional equipment is needed.

FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions About the Project

Is it possible to replace aerated concrete walls with brick walls?

Yes, but such a replacement requires project adjustment. For brick walls, it is necessary to separately provide insulation in accordance with the thermal engineering calculation.

What is the difference between the two layout options?

In the basic version, there is a boiler room of 3.0 m² and a dressing room of 2.1 m². In the second version, these rooms are combined, so the boiler room becomes larger and more convenient for placing a solid fuel boiler.

Is the project suitable for a solid fuel boiler?

Yes, but for this, it is better to choose the option with an enlarged boiler room. It is also necessary to take into account the requirements for ventilation, chimney, and fire safety.

Can the roof material be changed?

The basic project specifies metal tiles. Replacing the roof covering is possible, but it must be agreed with the designer, especially if the weight of the covering or the structure of the lathing changes.

Conclusion

"Lemon" is a ready-made project of a one-story house up to 100 m² with two bedrooms, a kitchen-living room, aerated concrete walls, and a simple gable roof. It will suit those looking for a small house without complex layouts, extra corridors, and expensive structural solutions.

If the layout of the "Lemon" project meets your needs, you can order a ready-made house project with a set of drawings for construction. If necessary, the architect will help clarify the possibility of adapting the project to your plot and the chosen heating system.
