Modern house
What is important for a modern house? The size of the house should be logical. Do not build a huge house, walk from room to room will be uncomfortable, the size should be in moderation. Very few people like very large houses, you can find many unhappy reviews of the owners of huge houses. In addition, the cost of maintaining a huge house will also be rather big. Do not forget about the property tax, the larger the area, the greater the tax.
Similarly, you need to think about whether you need several floors in the modern house. If the family is small, it is better to build a single-story modern house. But the two-story modern house still has advantages over one-story: with the same area, construction of the foundation and roof cheaper, it is easier to arrange the necessary rooms. But in a one-story modern house does not need to build stairs.
Which option modern house to choose?
I heard a lot of feedback from the owners of large houses, who said that they did not even go to the second floor. The children grew up, left, and the huge house stands empty. On the forums, many owners of two-story houses often write that if they were building their house now, they would be built a one-story house.
Arrangement of rooms in modern house
At the initial design of the modern house, you need to think about where the sun will be and which rooms will be sunny and which will not. The windows of the living room should be planned to the west, the bedrooms to the east sides. Windows of the kitchen can be located to the east side, south; in the southern kitchen, an air conditioner is desirable (it is advisable to immediately determine which rooms will have air conditioners). The staircase can be planned on the north side of the modern house.
When the windows are located on the east side, you need to take care of tight curtains, otherwise, the morning sun can wake sleeping people. It is worth saying that on the east side, the morning heat in the room from the sunlight is possible even in winter. On the other hand, in the summer the sun rises more quickly above the horizon and does not have time to heat up the room.
If there is a noisy street from any side of the house, you should, first of all, consider this problem and do not place the windows of the bedrooms on the side of a noisy street.
The windows to the south are a good solution for those who like light rooms, plants in the room will also be pleased with the sun. In a room with windows to the south in the summer is bad without air conditioning. It is advisable to plant trees on the southern side in front of the modern house, which will block in the summer bright sunlight.
