Starting construction country house on their site, everyone already has an idea of ​​the final result. Some people want to see a traditional Russian hut, for some ultra-modern designs are relevant, and some dream of an exotic Chinese pagoda. However, many people prefer cozy and comfortable chalet-style houses.

A chalet-style country house attracts many for several understandable reasons:

• reliable durable construction;
• attractive unique appearance.

Translating the name “chalet” we get “shepherd’s hut”. The first buildings of this type were typical of the province of Savoy. It was here that shepherds settled on the alpine slopes, building their cozy small houses from available materials in the form of wood and stones. The main purpose of these houses was to shelter from bad weather and wild animals.

In Russia, many people fell in love with chalet style houses due to the development of alpine skiing. Chalets are difficult to build in special kind architecture, however, this style still occupied its niche in the construction of country apartments.

Distinctive stylistic features

Chalet style, this is a completely eco-friendly building. Among all other types of buildings of this type, it is distinguished by the following features:

Unusual looking roof

The roof is the most recognizable feature of the chalet style. The roof is chosen to be massive and sloping, the projections are left large. The shape of the roof is determined natural conditions, where the first chalet houses were built.

Many windows, mostly panoramic. This is done so that the residential atmosphere inside is completely connected with the landscape.

Terraces and spacious balconies

Open terraces and balconies are also built in order to merge as much as possible with the surrounding nature. The balconies are located under an overhanging roof, which protects them from precipitation.

Use only natural building materials.

A strong foundation and ground floor are built from stone, and the attic and second level are made from wood. Stone, due to its strength, serves as a solid foundation, and wood perfectly holds in winter period warm, but in sultry heat - cool.

Number of floors of the building

The buildings have never been tall chalets. As a rule, the first basement is made of stone, the second - wooden. If there is a need to expand the area of ​​the house, this was done through horizontal extensions. In modern buildings there is also an attic floor.

Chalet house design

In order for a country house to truly correspond to the chosen style direction, chalet-style house projects are being developed.

The first place to start is the roof, which is a style-forming element. Main characteristics chalet roofing is its angle of inclination, which should be very large. With such a slope there is no need for a drain, since water and snow will roll off on their own.

The indentation of the roof from the wall should be at least 1 meter, thanks to which it can protect not only the walls, but also some of the ground around the house from precipitation.

When choosing the optimal roof angle the slope should take into account the amount of precipitation in a particular climate zone. When the angle is 45 degrees, then such a foundation is not strong and you will have to build a reinforced rafter system. Therefore, it is advisable to make a sharper angle at which the snow will roll off on its own.

When choosing a roof covering, preference can be given to corrugated sheeting, which is distinguished by its flexibility and lightness. If you want to follow the style exactly, you should choose shingles - tiles made of oak, spruce or larch. It is also permissible to use ceramic, composite or bitumen tiles. Ondulin is relevant. But what is strictly prohibited is metal tiles.

Projects one-story houses They are also considering the construction of balconies and terraces. They, as a rule, are lined up from the south or east so that they can penetrate there sunlight. They are decorated with figured planks or balustrades. The perimeter is sheathed with wooden elements.

Now you can work on the first (ground) floor. It is built cold, from strong stone. Then the wall surfaces are plastered and whitewashed. The basement contains a kitchen, guest rooms, a bathroom, a hallway and other utility rooms.

The second (warm) floor is built from wood. Here they arrange bedrooms filled with warmth and comfort.

The attic includes rooms for accommodating and receiving guests and utility rooms. A balcony area can be located here. It is also made from wood.

As for windows, in addition to the fact that they must be large, it is not permissible to use plastic here. It is better to replace it with wood and add beautiful shutters.

Interior

Living room

The interior of a chalet-style house begins with arranging the living room, because this is the most a large room, which has high ceilings and large windows that cover the entire wall. The main thing here is to use only natural Decoration Materials without replacement with analogues.

An atmosphere of unprecedented warmth and comfort is created by soft carpets on the floor and luxurious fur coverings, luxurious lamps and elegant large chandeliers. The furniture pieces are massive, made of wood. The upholstered furniture group has natural noble upholstery with wool, leather, velor or linen. The atmosphere is soft and calm.

The lighting in the room is made calm, slightly dim. For this purpose, a multi-level lighting system is erected, represented by wall sconces, floor and table lamps.

A hearth and home is a must in a chalet house. The whole family will gather here. They decorate it with stones and stuffed animals around it.

Sleeping area

The main role in the bedroom is given to the bed, which should be made of polished wood, it is massive, with decorations in the form of carvings. Textile inclusions made of cotton and linen will complement the cozy atmosphere. Bright pillows and bedspreads will enliven the design.

It is appropriate to spread a soft skin or carpet on the floor. Concerning color palette, then preference is given to natural shades: terracotta, beige, wood and the entire brown palette.

Kitchen and dining area

The kitchen equipment of the chalet is environmentally friendly and uses natural materials. Finishing and kitchen sets made of noble wood - colorful stylistic features. All built-in appliances are hidden under wooden facades or cute textile curtains.

The finishing of wall surfaces ensures the original appearance of wood. The maximum permissible is to plaster the surfaces or cover them with natural stone elements.

The ceiling is plastered in a light shade, and dark-colored beams are erected on it. Floor surfaces remain wooden, only slightly coated with imitation antique varnish.

The photo of a chalet-style house exudes unprecedented warmth and comfort, which is why this style is so often chosen for the construction of country apartments.

Mountain romance, simplicity and elusive, special beauty lie in houses built in the chalet style. It’s not for nothing that they are called combined, because they are built simultaneously from wood and stone. Thanks to this, such buildings acquire unique properties. Combined chalet-style houses, the designs of which are quite diverse, have long attracted the attention of architects. And, it is worth noting, it is well deserved. It's time to get to know them better.

Chalet-style houses “descended” to us from the Alpine mountains. The name of the style is the name small sizes a rural house, the home of shepherds who grazed cattle in the mountains and built houses from what was at hand. Most often these are ordinary stones and mountain pine, growing in abundance in those areas. The lower part of the structure was built from stone, due to which it acquired excellent strength, resisting not only snow and wind, but even mountain avalanches. In the basement of the building, livestock also found shelter - young animals and weakened animals. The upper part of the building was made of wood, and the roof always had a sloping shape, which made it streamlined for the wind. And this, you see, is very important in windy mountainous areas. In a word, it was very good to hide in such houses during a raging disaster. And ordinary lime was used as finishing for the façade.

On a note! The homeland of chalet houses is the southeastern region of France, Savoy. Interestingly, houses built in this style are also called “Swiss houses.” The reason is that the homeland of the chalet bordered Italy and Switzerland, which gave the buildings their names. In general, it would be more correct to call houses in this style “Alpine”, since the birthplace of such buildings is the very heart of the Alps.

Over time, chalets turned from ordinary and unremarkable shepherd's huts into real residential buildings. Shepherds cared more and more about comfort and everyday life; they not only took refuge in such buildings from bad weather, but also came here to rest.

Interesting! Translated, Chalet just means “shepherd’s hut.” Also related words are Chale, which means “shawl,” and Chaleur, which translates as “warmth.”

They also loved to build on Russian territory combined houses. Around the middle of the 19th century, merchants built just such structures in order to save money.

Thus, a chalet is not only a reliable, but also a cozy and comfortable home, although it looks somewhat spartan in its traditional appearance. Although now chalets can be quite elegant and resemble real mansions. Such houses are popular among romantic people and are often found in rural areas, but look especially harmonious in open spaces or mountain slopes.

Architecture and general appearance

Despite the fact that many years have passed, the chalet houses have not changed fundamentally, except that they have become cozier, more comfortable, and have beautiful interior and all necessary equipment, and outside there is an extension-garage, a more beautiful and modern facade.

The chalets still remained combined houses - a stone lower floor, a wooden upper floor, a sloping roof that hangs widely over the walls of the house, which allows it not only to resist the wind, but also to protect wooden facade buildings from rain and other factors environment. Sometimes the roof extension was 3 m - such a structure could protect even the basement from bad weather.

Important! Wide terraces and balconies, which are installed on stilts and covered by roof overhangs, have become a kind of hallmark of the chalet. And on the first floor they usually do big windows, which allows you to enjoy the surrounding nature without leaving your home.

The main features of the chalet houses are the naturalness of the materials used, naturalness, and harmony with the surrounding world.

Advantages of chalet houses

In Europe, and especially in Germany, Norway, Denmark, chalets are found quite often, and there is a reason for this. The whole problem is the lack of forest - there is not much of it here. A wooden second floor allows you to significantly save money when building a house. But this is not the only reason why Europeans love such buildings. Chalet-style houses have a lot of advantages.

Combined brick + laminated timber house

Table. Advantages of chalet style houses.

Name	Short description
Economical	Houses made of only stone are not a cheap pleasure. And here there is a combination of stone and wood, which reduces the cost of construction.
Original appearance	Such houses are usually built by passionate, romantic people or those who want to show their individuality.
Environmental Safety	Since houses are built only from natural materials, they do not cause any harm to human health or the environment.
Increasing fire resistance indicators	Indeed, in the event of a fire, only the upper part of the home will burn. And it is easier to obtain permission to install heating boilers.
Durability	Wood is known to be prone to rotting over time, even treated special drugs. In chalet houses, the first floor is made of stone, which is not afraid of these processes. When building a combined chalet, you can even refuse to build a complex, expensive foundation, since the upper part of the building is quite light
High energy efficiency	Wood retains heat better than stone, which means the owner will be able to save some money on heating.
Space for design imagination	A chalet at home is a building where you can roam around and decorate it quite unusually, both externally and internally. But still, the emphasis should be placed on the inside of the house. The first floor may include a dining room, a garage, a swimming pool, and the second floor is an abode of coziness and comfort, ideal for an office or bedroom.

Materials used

As mentioned earlier, the main materials used to build a chalet house are wood and stone. No plastic or metal. The basement part, depending on the wishes of the owner, can be made of various “stone” materials - brick, aerated concrete, and foam concrete are used. If the choice was made in favor of brick, the first floor must be additionally insulated according to the principle. That is, the main brickwork will be lined with an insulating layer on the outside, and decorative exterior finishing will be built on it.

Combined house 225 sq. m

Advice! In the case of using aerated concrete or foam concrete for the construction of the first floor, the need for additional insulation No. That is why it is now recommended to abandon brick in favor of these materials. In addition, they are much lighter, which makes it possible to further reduce the cost and simplify the arrangement of the foundation.

The second floor can also be built from various materials.

By tradition, as roofing material wooden tiles (shingles) are used. It can be made of cedar, oak, aspen, and is fastened with dowel nails or galvanized staples. This roof absorbs noise very well and does not make noise when it rains. Of modern materials today, it is usually used for roofing soft tiles. It looks no worse than natural shingles.

On a note! By the way, chalet houses can be decorated in the same style, that is, both the upper and lower floors will look the same. For example, they can be finished decorative plaster, siding, imitation timber. But in this case, the chalets will lose all their style and charm, so it is better not to decorate both floors with the same material.

Park-chalet "BENELUX"

Also, any other building can be artificially turned into a chalet house. To do this, a two-story building is sheathed on the bottom with decorative or wild stone, and on top with material imitating wood. Externally, such a house will be very similar to a traditional chalet, although inside it may be a structure made entirely of brick or wood.

Architectural styles typical of Western countries are now very popular among domestic developers. In elite Russian villages you can increasingly see houses stylized as French Provence, English classics, luxurious baroque or trendy high-tech. But it evokes special sympathy among ordinary homeowners.

Video - Chalet in Bavarian style

In conclusion, I suggest you watch the video from personal experience for the construction of a chalet in the Bavarian style. Maybe this example will inspire you.

One of the old ones French styles the interior is a chalet. Translated from French, “chalet” means a hotel or house in a rural style. Initially, this word denoted small rural houses in the Alps that served as shelter for travelers and shepherds in bad weather; later it began to be used to describe a whole direction in interior design, made in a rustic style.

Features of chalet style in the interior

Chalet style in country house implies all the same techniques that were used at the end of the 19th - beginning of the 20th centuries. This:

• simplicity;
• practicality;
• naturalness;
• warmth and comfort.

Chalet style often uses ceiling beams made of untreated wood.

Raw materials are often used in the interior:

• unpainted wooden floors,
• walls plastered or lined with wood, but without final finishing,
• protruding ceiling beams,
• large fireplace, roughly lined with natural stone.

All objects in the interior seem durable, stable, massive, and reliable. It is these principles of the chalet style that have made it so popular when decorating country houses.

Regarding the colors that should prevail in the interior of the chalet, designers note mainly warm, natural shades:

• dark brown;
• vanilla;
• cream;
• chocolate;
• terracotta;
• ocher;
• brick;
• caramel.

Natural materials, fireplace, calm natural colors - chalet style rules

As for accents, the most successful colors will be dark green or burgundy shades.

Furniture, as well as everything interior decoration, rough, with poorly processed surfaces, aged, but massive, is welcome. A comfortable, simple one is appropriate in the living room. leather furniture– sofas and armchairs.

The lighting in the room should be soft. Often designers use heavy, stable floor lamps, as well as an abundance of candles in massive forged candlesticks. Such light, combined with the fire in the fireplace, creates an atmosphere of peace, tranquility, and warmth in the room, and this is exactly what is so lacking in everyday life.

The decor should match the entire interior:

• clay products;
• rural embroidery;
• textiles are only natural, it is better if the fabric is not dyed;
• bunches of aromatic dried herbs;
• old paintings or photos (how to decorate a wall with them - in the material);
• Forged Products.

Any items related to hunting - deer horns, animal skins, etc. are relevant for chalets like no other style.

The right materials for a chalet style

Those who have decided to decorate a country house in a chalet style should remember what should not be in the interior. This:

• plastic;
• glass;
• chromed metal parts;
• fancy fittings, decor, etc.

But the following must be present:

• tree;
• stone;
• natural textiles of animal or plant origin - wool, fur, silk, linen, cotton;
• iron.

A log house in the village is the most suitable option to arrange it interior interior in chalet style. Ceiling beams- do not hide them, but if they are not there, you can erect decorative ones. Fireplace - a resounding yes! Be sure to cover it with a stone, and carelessly throw a fur bedding in front of it.

Plastic windows are not a suitable solution for a chalet-style home, however, everyone understands that there is often no escape from modern materials. If you still choose plastic, let it imitate wood. Decorate windows not with elaborate curtains, but with simple, natural curtains or wooden blinds.

By the way, wicker parts (furniture or for decoration) are allowed. They add a bit of airiness and grace to the massive, high-quality environment, and thanks to their natural execution, they are in perfect harmony with the rest of the design elements.

A country house decorated in a chalet style is always warm and cozy

To understand the chalet style, imagine yourself on a cold winter evening in a cozy armchair in front of the fireplace, covered with a wool blanket, with a glass of good wine. The house is warm and comfortable, the fire is crackling. Despite the blizzard outside the window, there is a feeling of peace and security inside the building. If this is your thing, then choose a chalet-style interior, and you will not regret it.

Despite its simplicity and unpretentiousness, the chalet style does not look shabby or unpresentable. On the contrary, the nobility of natural materials, solid furniture, and rare decorative elements give it a special charm and aesthetics that is noticeable and makes you fall in love at first sight.

The following video will reveal the secrets of the chalet style:

The originality of chalet-style houses was appreciated by many, which is why the popularity of chalet house projects is increasing every year. The Alpine technology for creating such buildings makes them look like mountain analogues; when you look at such a structure, you immediately associate it with snowy peaks and tranquility.

Advantages of an “alpine” house

The distinctive features of such buildings are their advantages:

• Simplicity and comfort. In a “chalet” style house, you want to put on comfortable clothes, warm knee socks and sit down with a cup of aromatic coffee in front of a large window.
• Naturalness. For the construction of a building, only natural raw materials should be used; even plaster for cladding is chosen on a natural basis. The same applies to the color scheme used.
• Strength. Previously at home The chalet style was built on a stone base, and the walls and ceilings were made of wood. Now such a combined position has retained its positions, it is only allowed to use modern materials, the main thing is that they ensure the strength of the floors.
• Availability of terraces and balconies. Who would refuse to receive guests at such a structure or enjoy solitude in the lap of nature with a book?

Features of chalet-style house projects

Having looked at the photos in the Domamo catalogue, you can see one common feature - a large gable roof, which has a protruding visor, it has large plumbs. Ground floor It is distinguished by its height, it is made of stone, but the building itself is wooden; the adjacent verandas and terraces can extend far beyond the perimeter of the building; special wooden supports are provided to support them.

In most cases, the main material is conifers, they are more resistant to moisture, and also create optimal microflora in the house.

Choosing a chalet house project

You cannot entrust the design of such a house to unknown specialists, because its peculiarity is the combination of two materials, which requires accurate calculations. The typical layouts offered in the catalog can be adjusted at the request of the customer.
