Before building a log house you have to make a project. House project is required for every kind of house, because without a plan you could not build it. Simple projects (one floor houses) are possible to make by yourself, but the complex ones would be better entrusted to professional architects. Now it is known that with new technologies help even the most exciting dreams can be fulfilled by specialists.
Start of the project. From what it all begins? Firstly it needs to know what size of the plot is and what the purpose of the building will be. But this time I want to talk about planning a residential home. When the plot is already measured is necessary to decide where to place the house, garage and other needed buildings. Second step - foundation. Some architects certainly mention what type of foundation will be.
How many floors will have residential home? Architects before making all projects take account into the number of family members. According to this, they advice what number of floors should be and fully plan future premises with their purposes. And also roofing with the attic (or not) if there is such a request. This loft place can be fully used for various needs.
The first floor usually is a representative place. There are all major spaces like the kitchen and dinning room, sitting room, a portal, corridor, bathroom (with all plumbing), lumber room, closet, one bedroom, stairs to the second floor and terrace. Each room is carefully planned, length and width are measured. Bedroom, sitting room, kitchen and dinning room take the most space here. The first floor is for all family members, where they spend most of the time. Sitting room, kitchen and dinning room usually take the same non separated space and have exit to the terrace.
The second floor is for the rest. Here are usually planned: corridor (before stairs or around them), bathroom (it is more comfortable to have two of them), bedrooms (depending on space and children number 2 or 3 rooms can be planned) and of course the balcony or a porch (it can be projected with the same size as the terrace). This floor has easier planning than the first. Therefore bedrooms are most important here.
The last lodging in the plan is an attic. It depends on the customer`s wishes. This space is usually used for table games, pool-table, to put seasonal or unnecessary stuff. Architects will project everything like you want and give their best suggestions. Also attic is good because of heat in the winter time. Thanks to it, there will be much warmer second floor in the house.
Additional buildings. As it was mentioned before - depending on residential cabin purpose there can be some additional buildings like garage, shelter (for your cars or other equipment) and a bath house. These extensions are easily projected, so there is one thing that should be done in the plan - to set the size of premises. Architects will consult at first with you before starting to draw a project. All lodgings must be functional and do their purposes.
Wooden constructions are changed. When a residential log house is already built there is thought that nothing can be changed without demolishing all house. But it is not true. To change project is never too late. All timber constructions are easily changed, other buildings can be built and existing ones are possible to rebuild. This lets not to be afraid of changing your house in some other ways.
Every architect or architect`s firm can make your wishing project in different ways. Some of them may perform a designer and name all building materials in the plan of the house. Starting from the foundation and finishing with roofing. Walls, windows, doors, stairs, floor also can be mentioned in the plan.
There are two steps of project preparation. The first step is drawing on special plotting paper. All the plan of the house from first floor to the roof is shown on the paper with staggered premises together with its dimensions. The first variant becomes a draft, because it is redrawing for few times to get a perfect plan without any mistake. The second step is to redraw everything on computer. In that way plan can be easily adjusted. This feature gives a possibility to get the best decisions for you and make last changes in a plan. The last step is usually made by designers. They prepare a visual 3D image of your residential cabin. There you are able to see how does your house look from the inside and outside. Professional designer will show already made project with windows and doors size, floor and inside wall colour, exterior. With computer`s help residential cabin project can be corrected many times till it fits wishes. Although if you are creative person - refuse all designer services and make it by oneself. I have no doubt that this will give a lot of satisfaction and enjoyment. In such case you can be certain of creating your dream house project.
Many architects firms sell already made house`s projects so you only need to choose one which fits your wishes best. However, there are a lot of manufactures of wooden buildings, which can collect building in wishing appearance very fast. Without any additional correction of projects it is able to change this kind of building in many other ways. But if you already have a project, show it to right manufacturers and I am sure they will help to carry out your dreams.
