Small House Project with an Attic «Soroka» — an Economical Solution for a Country House

The «Soroka» project is a compact small house with an attic and a total area of 77 m², designed for comfortable living for a small family. Thanks to its rational layout and small building footprint, it is well suited both as a country house and for permanent residence. The modest dimensions make it possible to place the house on a small plot of land, while the attic floor provides two full bedrooms without increasing the building footprint.

The main idea of the «Soroka» project is rational use of space and reduced construction costs thanks to the compact shape of the house and simple gable roof.

Layout Solution

The ground floor includes a vestibule of 3.1 m², a kitchen of 7.9 m², a bathroom of 2.5 m² and a spacious living room of 21.3 m². The vestibule includes a window and a brick chimney with ventilation and smoke channels. The vestibule volume is 7.8 m³, which makes it possible to install a gas boiler. A single-flight staircase to the attic is designed in the 21.3 m² living room.

An additional ground-floor layout option has also been developed. Instead of the kitchen, a small bedroom of 7.9 m² can be arranged. In this case, the kitchen is moved into the living room.

A terrace is located next to the kitchen and living room, creating a convenient place for relaxation directly next to the house. The terrace and the house are covered by a common roof.

The attic is designated as a private zone with two bedrooms of 11.3 and 20.3 m² and a small bathroom of 1.8 m². This small house with an attic is designed for a family of 3–4 people.

Structural Solution

The house has an approximately square floor plan measuring 8.05 × 9.11 m. The compact shape makes it possible to reduce the length of the external walls relative to the area of the house and contributes to more economical use of construction materials.

Foundation: strip foundation made of monolithic concrete.
Ground-floor floor: on a monolithic concrete base with 100 mm thick polystyrene insulation.
External and internal walls: 375 mm thick aerated concrete blocks.
Ground-floor partitions: 100 mm thick aerated concrete blocks.
Attic partitions: plasterboard with mineral wool sound insulation.
Floor between the ground floor and attic: wooden.
Ceiling above the attic: wooden, insulated with 350 mm thick mineral wool.
Room height: approximately 2.5 m on the ground floor and attic.
Roof: gable roof with slopes of 35° and 38°. Roofing — bitumen or metal tiles. With favorable house orientation, solar panels can be installed.

Engineering Systems

For heating and hot water supply, a dual-circuit gas boiler or electric appliances can be used. The boiler can be located in the vestibule. Ventilation of the kitchen and bathrooms is natural, through ventilation channels.

For wastewater treatment, the house is connected to a septic tank. If a central sewage system is available, the house can be connected to the municipal network.

FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions About the «Soroka» Project

Can steel corrugated sheeting or a standing seam roof be used as the roofing material?

Yes, the simple gable roof is well suited for both corrugated sheeting and a standing seam roof.

Can a foundation be designed for my site?

Yes, based on the results of geological surveys, we can design a foundation specifically for your conditions.

Can the size of the bathroom in the attic be increased?

The size of the bathroom in the attic can be increased at the expense of the smaller bedroom.

Is the «Soroka» project suitable for permanent residence?

Yes. The house layout provides the main rooms necessary for permanent residence of a family of 3–4 people: a kitchen, living room, two or three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The project also provides reliable thermal insulation and the possibility of installing a heating system.

Conclusion

The «Soroka» project is a successful example of how small house projects with an attic can provide a comfortable home for a family of 3–4 people with a relatively small building footprint. The 77 m² layout includes a spacious living room, kitchen, two bathrooms and two bedrooms, while the alternative ground-floor option makes it possible to arrange one more small bedroom.

The simple shape of the house, compact layout and gable roof help reduce the complexity and cost of construction. The terrace expands the recreation area, while the dimensions of the house allow it to be placed on a small plot of land. The «Soroka» project is suitable for those planning to build an economical country house or a home for permanent residence.
