Wooden guest house with a sauna. Projects of houses with baths under one roof

Naturally, if the sleeping area is arranged on the lower floor, the total area of ​​the building will increase significantly. In the same way, the cost of construction work will increase, which for many people is a decisive point in choosing a particular layout. But, if desired, the bedroom can be placed anywhere without devoting too much space to it. A small recreation room with an area of ​​10-15 square meters. m will not at all increase the size of the entire structure and, accordingly, its cost. At the same time, the bathhouse will become more functional and comfortable.

Construction of an extension to the bathhouse

The construction of baths usually takes place on, where there is a lot of free space. Guest houses with a bathhouse allow you to save additional space without creating inconvenience when moving from a residential building to a bathhouse.

Guest house projects are perfect for any family. If desired, the recreation area can be supplemented with a barbecue, billiard room, small cinema, bar or gym. The options depend, first of all, on the preferences of the owner of the house.

Recently, projects of wooden guest houses with a bathhouse have become increasingly popular. The reason for such popularity of wood is its environmental friendliness and beauty, as well as its fairly low cost. Naturally, you can find even more economical designs for guest houses with a bathhouse (for example, made from foam blocks), but they will be less comfortable than those made from logs.

The construction of a living space combined with a bathhouse requires a special approach to installation work. In most cases, during construction, preference is given to simple logs insulated with linen or jute felt. This option is one of the most economical and reliable. The most popular types of wood include larch, pine and spruce, which have a pleasant smell and high quality and durability.

Many of our clients are interested in where the definition of “Guest house” or “sauna house made of rounded logs” came from. The answer is simple - these options make it possible to combine a bathhouse and a wooden residential building during the construction process. This type of housing is economical and at the same time very convenient. There is no need to run through what is likely to be a cold street after taking a bath. Bath procedures can be conveniently combined with a stay in a guest house, where everything is provided for the most comfortable time.

The guest house often serves as a place for active recreation for the owners: table tennis, billiards, a variety of exercise equipment - all this is perfectly located here, freeing the owners from the need to build additional rooms in the main house and install sound insulation. The terrace can be used as a barbecue area. An attached winter garden or swimming pool would be a good addition to this structure.

If there are adult children in the family, then they will certainly take the opportunity to invite their noisy friends to relax, who, if there is a guest house, will not disturb you at all, and at the same time will be under your control. Accordingly, you will always have the opportunity to receive a large number of guests or relatives without having a headache about where to place them.

Recently, owners of suburban land plots in Moscow are increasingly moving away from the traditional scheme of constructing houses and bathhouses made of concrete, preferring wooden natural building materials. After all, it is wooden houses that provide the opportunity to most fully experience your closeness to nature.

The main advantage of building a country house for guests or a bathhouse is that wood is a living material, with its own energy. People living in wooden houses have much better health, peace of mind and a charge of optimism in life.

The second important advantage of using wood as a building material is the saving factor. When erecting a wooden structure, there is no need to install a heavy and expensive foundation; the process of finishing the walls will also not affect your financial capabilities. Under equal conditions, construction will cost you ~1.5 times cheaper than brick or concrete. Well, the undoubted advantage of a house made of wood is its aesthetically beautiful appearance. Log buildings are of extraordinary beauty and harmonize perfectly with stone houses. Warm, beautiful, cozy and durable - such a house will forever remain a favorite vacation spot for you and your family.

Most often, a small guest house or bathhouse is built on an already built-up site, taking into account the buildings present on it. Therefore, you should pay special attention to its placement. Since a wooden building has a high level of fire hazard, the best option would be to build it at a distance of at least 10. from the nearest neighboring building. The bathhouse should be located so that during the winter months its entrance is not covered with snow.

Our specialists will listen and take into account all your individual wishes, and engineers will first carefully examine the proposed development area, prepare design documentation, after which it will be possible to directly begin the construction process.

Features of the guest bath house

The classic version of the Russian bathhouse is a structure made of logs or, which is insulated with linen or jute felt. Alternatively, you can use the method. This method is the most economical and is distinguished by a wide variety of interior decoration, and the appearance of the room can be made in a wide variety of architectural styles. In the process of building a log house, we use only the highest quality material from northern coniferous forest species: pine, larch, spruce. The best way to connect logs for a bathhouse is considered to be felling. Thus, the log house is given maximum stability and heat conservation.

With the development of bathhouse culture and the advent of spacious rooms for relaxation indoors with a steam room, the idea of ​​living in a bathhouse came up. This lifestyle will appeal to many Russian men, especially if the room is equipped with everything necessary: ​​a small refrigerator and a sofa, and also has a water connection. However, living in spartan conditions is not very convenient for a respectable family man, which is why designs of houses with built-in baths are becoming increasingly popular.

Such houses satisfy all human household needs. They can have several bedrooms, a bathroom connected to the sewer, a garage, a living room, a kitchen, a wardrobe and look more like an ordinary residential building than a bathhouse. But the presence of a steam room and a sauna stove always gives the room additional attractiveness.

There is also another, more bachelor version of the bathhouse, where the main emphasis is on the integral attributes of the bathhouse (steam room, shower room, vestibule, relaxation room, billiard room and even a swimming pool) with a living room, which is more reminiscent of a studio apartment.

Such premises can be made from traditional bathhouse materials - wood and timber, or from brick or even natural stone at the client’s choice.

A two-story country house made of rounded logs looks very nice and rustic. In addition, the house is equipped with an additional bonus - its own bathhouse.

On the ground floor of the building there is usually a steam room, a bathroom and a living room, which is combined with a kitchen. The second floor contains two cozy bedrooms of different sizes, which are connected by a common balcony and a small corridor.

A cute and spacious corner wooden cottage is a classic bachelor's retreat. Despite the apparent coziness and solidity of the building, the main emphasis in the house is on entertainment elements.

The house has a spacious terrace with a barbecue oven, a billiard room, a steam room with a swimming pool, an extensive wardrobe and only a little attention is paid directly to the living space. The owners of the house are invited to stay in a studio apartment with an area of ​​just over 20 square meters, which will simultaneously combine a kitchen, bedroom, office and living room. There is also the possibility of creating an attic room on the second floor.

The first floor of a timber bathhouse with an attic is a classic version of a Russian bathhouse with a relaxation room, steam room and washing room.

However, if you install kitchen appliances in the recreation room and use the room on the attic floor as a bedroom, you can live in such a house permanently.

Ready-made project for a one-story residential building with a bathhouse (148.1 m2)

This project of a one-story residential building with a bathhouse differs from others in the material of construction and, accordingly, in its fundamental nature. Having built such a brick house on your site, you can count on it to delight you and your family with its comfort for many decades.

The house contains 3 bedrooms of different sizes, a kitchen, a wardrobe, a spacious living room and a terrace, one bathroom, as well as a furnace, steam room and washing room.

Ready-made project of a guest house with a bathhouse (229 m2)

If you have dreamed of your own fairy-tale house since childhood or are the parent of a dreamy child, this project is the ideal solution for you.

One house combines a bathhouse, a living space and a garage; in addition, there is a real dungeon (basement).

The house has a large terrace, a living room, an entrance hall, three bathrooms and three bedrooms, a kitchen, a steam room and an additional recreation room.

This project is designed to accommodate a large family, and is also suitable for a person who often invites guests.

Profiled timber is one of the most popular materials for making houses and baths today. A compact two-story house with a bathhouse is ideal for comfortable living for a small family or one person.

The incredibly beautiful wooden house with a bathhouse and an attic, presented in this project, could not be designed in any other country in the world, since it has a native Russian exterior.

On the first main floor of the house there is a steam room, a bathroom, a living room and a spare room, which can serve as a separate kitchen, bedroom, office or workshop.

The staircase located in the living room leads to a spacious hall on the second, attic floor, on which there are two bedrooms of equal size and structure.

A two-story bathhouse made of laminated veneer lumber, which is painted in bright, attractive colors, is conventionally divided inside into two blocks: entertainment and residential.

This project represents one of the few houses with a bathhouse, which is more of a bathhouse than a house. Great emphasis in the project is placed on a spacious steam room, relaxation room and other premises necessary for a comfortable stay in the bathhouse.

The second floor consists of a recreation room and a billiard room, which are not separated by a clear boundary and seem more like one large entertainment room.

A guest house-bathhouse is a real outlet for those who live and work in the city. A holiday in such a building, for example, near the capital, costs fabulous money, but many are willing to pay it. Because a weekend with friendly company, light steam and wonderful conditions is much more pleasant than even a flight to the hot islands. And this wonderful building can be erected with your own hands, on any site! And therefore, for Russian craftsmen, who rarely fail at anything, taking on such construction is a sheer pleasure. And now we’ll tell you what and how.

Bath house: a tribute to fashion or practicality?

A bath house for guests is not just a residential building in which a steam room is built somewhere, and everything else - the decoration, layout, design of the premises - is no different from an ordinary dacha. No: a bathhouse-guest house is a structure with one concept of style and architecture, where the organizing and semantic center is the steam room, and everything around adapts to it and its special mode of operation. Including interior design.

But let's immediately define the concepts. Thus, a guest bathhouse differs from a regular bathhouse with a relaxation room in that you can even live in this one. There is:

• kitchenette;
• full bathroom;
• separate bedroom;
• well-established water supply and wastewater disposal system;
• constant and maintaining optimal temperature.

You can come here with guests and stay for the whole weekend, or live at least two summer months like in a country house. But this option differs from a full-fledged guest house with a sauna built somewhere in the following important points:

• a bathhouse with a washing room, a font and a dressing room is the starting point for the entire project;
• all this stuff takes up more than half of the entire living space, and not an unnecessary “corner”;
• All materials for construction and finishing are selected exclusively environmentally friendly, because... The sauna-house is intended, first of all, to heal the body and spirit.

Thus, the guest bathhouse-house is not used constantly, but periodically - as a “visit”, and therefore it is very important to think about how it will be heated in the absence of the owners, and how to prevent such unpleasant situations as burst pipes.

Subtleties of design and layout

So, what are modern guest bathhouses like? In most cases, they are built from environmentally friendly timber and have two floors. Communications and amenities should be present, but at a minimum: shower, bathroom, kitchenette and hallway, and for all this, as little square meters as possible are allocated. As the designers say, as long as it is there, but not distracting. But the rest of the area is divided approximately in the following proportion: 50% - for the steam room, swimming pool, plunge pool, shower room and dressing room, and 50% - for the guest bedroom and a spacious lounge. And everything is finished in the same intended style.

When planning the interior space of a guest bath house, strictly follow all building codes, rules and recommendations of experienced builders. The most important thing is to make such a bathhouse completely fireproof and protect the rest room furniture from excess steam and moisture. Therefore, no matter how much you would like to save a couple of valuable square meters on the dressing room, do not do this: there must be a vestibule between the steam room and the exit to the living area.

And finally, do not give in to the persuasion of your friends to do something non-standard in such a building against the building rules, because “So and so has this, and everything is fine, no one got burned.” Remember: first of all, you are building a steam room, and only secondly - a residential house.

And you can read in more detail about all the subtle nuances of electrical installation, steam and waterproofing of Russian baths on our website in the same section. Now let's look in more detail at how to build different guest bath houses: both expensive and fashionable, and compact and cozy.

Project #1 - modest but tasteful

In a guest house with a bathhouse, it is customary to arrange a separate full bathroom with hot and cold water. And to do this, you can immerse a special pump with a filter in a pre-dug well, install a boiler or storage water heater. Place the heater itself directly in the washing room, and from there take the pipes to the toilet and kitchen part of the house.

Yes, you will have to spend a lot on the building materials themselves. But we will reveal the secrets of 5 different options for building a guest house-bath: starting from a budget frame structure, which you can build yourself in one vacation, and ending with a “manorial” house on two floors, with a swimming pool and a veranda.

Other projects of bathhouses with a veranda can be seen in the article

Here, for example, is an excellent project and its implementation:

Project #2 - for those who love a luxurious vacation

An ideal option for a guest house-bathhouse for a small family, where guests will periodically visit, is a 6x6 m area and a residential attic. Frame technology is inexpensive and anyone can do it. It does not require any additional equipment or crew; such a bathhouse can be built slowly and independently. At the same time, checking each stage personally, being sure that everything was done conscientiously and no one stole anything, which is why then nothing will “accidentally” break or rot.

If you want to look at the most beautiful baths in the world, we recommend that you read the article

Build such a steam room using the “Platform” technology. Its essence is that even walls that have not yet been sheathed will not wobble, because:

1. Two jibs are cut into each external wall in opposite directions.
2. The outer walls are firmly connected to the inner ones, and on top they are tied with a second board of the top trim to each other. It is the second board that gives the desired result.
3. The entire frame is nailed from below to a common solid floor platform, and is also connected at the top by a solid platform of the upper floor.

This technology is also good because immediately after the walls are built, you can finish them: no shrinkage or caulking is needed, as in the case of log houses. More details about this project:

• Even a shallow strip foundation is suitable for such a building. Be sure to make an additional transverse strip between the washing room and the steam room. Equip a small technical basement inside the foundation: here you can bring water in and out, place filters, a hydraulic accumulator and other communications.
• Make the external posts of the frame walls 150 mm wide, and the internal walls 100 mm wide.
• Insulate the ceiling, floor and walls of the attic in such a bathhouse with basalt slabs, preferably Rockwool Light Butts, and the internal walls with the ceiling of the first floor - Rockwool Sound Butts, which also provide good sound insulation.
• In this project, the floor of the entire first floor is laid with practical porcelain tiles, and the roof is covered with Finnish flexible tiles. As for the decoration of such a house, lining is traditionally suitable for the interior, and a blockhouse is suitable for the exterior.
• The most convenient staircase for a bath house is a rotating one with winder steps. Divide the attic into at least two separate rooms - at least a hall and a guest bedroom.
• The dimensions of the steam room in this project are 2x2.7 and the ceiling height is 2.55 m. The total volume in the end is 13.8 cubic meters.
• For a winter bathhouse, it is important that the floors are warm. To do this, place underfloor heating mats with temperature control. Moreover, preferably with remote control - after all, people do not come to the guest house every week. So, in your absence, the floor temperature should be set to 5°C, and for weekends with friends – up to +20°C.
• Install convectors on the second floor. Place all temperature controllers in a separate vestibule block near the electrical panel. Then install a device for remote on-off switching there. This way you will have peace of mind about your bath house even if you are away for a long time.

The result: a fairly rigid frame structure, which is what is needed for a guest house-bath.

Project #3 - a great holiday (emphasis on the exterior)

This is the point that is usually the least known. How to decorate a bathhouse-guest house? It is clear that modern siding is better. More decor? Why... The end result is a building that is quite cozy and comfortable from the inside, but which on the outside still looks ridiculous and cheap. And you won’t always have the desire to come to such a place - after all, we love it when everything pleases our eyes.

But it’s enough just to see similar projects in glossy magazines, and it becomes clear: the ready-made bath houses from advertising look amazing and are so attractive because they have a well-thought-out exterior: the external design of the bathhouse and the space surrounding it. And this is: a beautifully designed pond in front of the steam room, stylized garden furniture, a good selection of exterior decoration of the building and decorated elements, and successful lighting design.

Even without any special investments, you can significantly change the area on which your bathhouse stands: lay out “rural” stone paths using a stencil, plan a couple of benches from driftwood and varnish them, install a garden swing, hang stylized lanterns, dig a shallow pond (using a ready-made bowl), plant coniferous perennial shrubs. And the bath house itself should not be decorated with a bright cheap façade of a poisonous color, which only looks at least somehow in the catalogue, and not with “torn” brick pieces (which is a fashion that has long since passed), but at least give it the appearance of a real Russian steam room: with siding with high-quality timber, carved elements and a corresponding weathervane. Place the same barbecue on the attached terrace and a huge barrel of water.

This is a guest bathhouse-house - where it’s good to relax and you can feel the real Russian spirit in everything! Take a look at this project, for example:

Project #4 - bath house with a residential attic

Often a bathhouse is also built as a guest house with only a residential attic. What to do if the planned budget is not enough for a larger area and extensions. But it doesn’t matter: the main thing is to organize the space correctly, and not only a summer bedroom can be on the attic floor.

First, immediately divide this room into two separate zones. Therefore, even at the construction stage, “raise” the second part of the attic with a podium in three steps - this is both impressive and practical. Make the same steps in the middle, and to the right and left of them - built-in drawers. In them you can store bed linen, dishes, and everything else you need. There will no longer be a need for cabinets or bulky chests of drawers, and the attic itself will become visually much larger.

Next, on the raised part, organize a recreation area: there can be upholstered furniture, sofas, bedside lamps, toys. In order to cover this area, use ordinary Japanese screens or install sliding panels, which are now in fashion.

The second part can be reserved for communication with guests: a billiard room is set up here, a plasma TV is mounted on a bracket, and a minibar is installed. Do not place bulky furniture - only small poufs or soft frameless chairs will do, or even just throw blankets on the floor, because on weekends it will always be warm due to the fact that there is a steam room underneath it.

You can see in detail how such a bathhouse is built in our photo instructions:

Project #5 - modern style is everything

In a guest bath house, the entire interior design is a single concept. Even the bedroom, not to mention the rest room or dressing room, should have a similar finish and style as everything else. The most suitable materials for this purpose are lining made of natural wood, wooden floors and soft textiles.

A recreation room in such a building is intended primarily for spending time with family and friends, and therefore its main attributes are a large massive table, a huge plasma TV, a predator skin on the wall, rough wooden shelves and upholstered furniture.

There can also be a kitchen in such a house, but then a minimum of space is allocated for it, and it is enough to install only a couple of modular elements. But there should not be such premises as a library, a children's room, a spacious bathroom or a dressing room.

You can take a closer look at the process of building such a bath here:

If you wish, you can separately place a billiard room, a swimming pool, a gym and a “Japanese” attic in the bath house, where there is no furniture, and aromatic herbal teas are drunk directly on the rug in the middle of the floor.

Yes, and one more thing: when building a guest house-bathhouse, immediately think about where you and your friends can leave their cars overnight. This could be a separate spacious garage, or it would be better to allocate a good-quality basement for this purpose under the bathhouse itself. After all, it is usually only after the completion of a large-scale and expensive construction project that many new owners begin to remember this important aspect. And they grab their heads.

Listen to our advice, experiment, plan – and your dream will become a fashionable reality!
