A 5 by 5 house is a structure used as a small country house or as a living space for a married couple of 2 people. The newly erected building will serve as an excellent place for a spring holiday and free year-round pastime.
The construction of such buildings is not difficult, but still requires certain construction skills. Equally important is the ability to understand the construction design plan according to which the construction is being carried out.

Project of a 5x5 house made of laminated veneer lumber 22 sq.m.
Features of the building material
Many people strive to purchase or build their own home, even if they have other real estate in the form of a room or apartment. Such a desire is quite understandable - such houses are ideal for creating areas around them intended for growing garden crops; it would also be appropriate to place a barn for keeping large livestock and a chicken coop for birds.
Others are not focused on farming, but simply want to have a small cozy house somewhere in a deserted area, where they can relax and completely devote all their free time to themselves and their own hobbies.
The beam itself is the core of the log. The beams have two types of surfaces: smooth (oval outer) and connecting (embossed with grooves), otherwise called profiled beams. There is also a “lightweight” version of the beam, the so-called laminated veneer lumber, when each beam consists of four boards glued together, from each of which the branches are first removed and minor defects are eliminated.
One way or another, the construction and purchase of wooden houses have been and remain popular to this day. When choosing the material from which the main structures of the house are made, you should pay attention to the paving options first of all.
The main advantages of this material: reliability and durability, due to which buildings made of paving stones can last for tens, and in some cases, hundreds of years.
In addition, for most of this period the house will be able to maintain its “marketable appearance” - the beams will not rot or fall apart even when in contact with heavy objects; with proper care, insect pests will not infest them; in addition, the timber has excellent characteristics of moisture resistance and fire resistance, which will be an advantage in emergency situations.
Houses made of timber with an attic
When choosing the design of a wooden house, many people prefer options with a mansard roof. The attic itself is an attic floor, equipped for domestic needs or intended directly for living in it.
Houses made of timber with an attic have a number of advantages, which are key factors when choosing this type of property, among which are the following:
There is no need to construct a serious monolithic foundation (with the exception of structures that include a garage, barn, shed and other outbuildings) due to the relatively low weight of the entire house structure;
Excellent heat and sound insulation of timber even without additional finishing - these characteristics will be an advantage if the attic is used as a living room or as a room for storing crop supplies;
The durability of the structure is comparable to houses made of stone, and its strength and thoughtfulness minimizes the likelihood of unforeseen situations: collapse, leakage, etc.;
The opportunity to design a future house with an attic based on personal preferences - thanks to the relatively low cost of the timber and its light weight, the number of options for buildings that can be erected with its help is simply enormous, among them everyone can find something suitable for themselves.
In fact, there are incredibly many options for the design and interior of such buildings; in the photos below you can see only the most popular of them
Advantages
- Small residential buildings, as a rule, are intended either for a small family or for off-season stays. They are good because their construction requires a minimum of construction and finishing materials. In addition, the construction itself takes only a few days of intensive work.
- It is inexpensive to maintain and maintain a 25 m2 home, and even a small plot of land will do to accommodate it. This is very convenient for older people who are unable to pay for expensive utilities. And in a small home, electricity, gas, water and heating are consumed several times less than in a large cottage.
- Another advantage of small-sized housing is savings on heating. Small rooms heat up faster and retain heat better. In the summer, they keep cool well.
- If modern and practical materials are chosen when creating a project, then the construction will be distinguished not only by its reliability, but also by its aesthetic appearance. A metal tile roof will create a unique and bright design for the entire house.
- The main thing is that there is a good selection of planning ideas for small houses. And this allows you to competently and rationally arrange a space of 5 by 5 m.
Sequence of installation work
The main advantage of frame house-building technology is the fast pace of construction work, from the foundation to the façade and interior finishing. At the same time, the construction of residential buildings does not require the use of special lifting equipment and machinery.
Arrangement of the foundation
A small frame residential building with an area of 5 by 5 meters, incl. a two-story building does not require a strong foundation. For such a design, a shallow strip, columnar or pile foundation is quite sufficient.
If it is planned to build a monolithic reinforced concrete foundation for a 5x5 frame house, then it is necessary to dig a shallow pit at the construction site, the area of which should be larger than the area of the building itself. Next, the soil must be compacted and a sand cushion is installed.
After this, wooden formwork is made, a reinforcing structure made of metal rods is installed in the trench, and liquid concrete is poured. Next, the foundation must be given time for the cement mortar to set and dry - at least a week. Only after this can construction work continue.
Waterproofing is laid on the finished foundation base, and a perimeter piping is installed from wooden beams, pre-treated with protective agents. Next, logs are installed, between which heat-insulating mats are laid, and a rough floor covering made of construction boards or special wooden panels is installed.
After this, you can begin building the frame.
Construction of the load-bearing frame of the building
You can build a frame residential building measuring 5 by 5 meters with your own hands, the main thing is to first study the technology itself, the requirements for building materials and the sequence of installation work.
After arranging the foundation, framing and rough flooring, you can begin to build the frame of the house, directly on which all other structural elements will be supported (insulation, rough sheathing, cladding, windows and doors, roof).
To construct a wooden frame, beams, cross members, jibs and various fasteners (screws, nails, staples, metal corners, etc.) are used.
It is recommended to purchase lumber from coniferous trees and preferably after kiln drying. Moreover, before installation, all wood frame elements must be treated with special protective compounds (fire retardants and antiseptics).
The frame begins to be erected with vertical corner posts. Then intermediate supports are installed along the entire perimeter (installation step according to the project) and connected to each other by horizontal beams. The supports are attached to the lower frame with jibs and corners.
On top, along the perimeter of the finished frame, a strapping is made, to which the rafter system will subsequently be attached.
Installation of roof structure
A frame house of 5x5 meters can be covered with a single-pitched or gable roof. The second option is somewhat more complicated and more expensive, but then it becomes possible to arrange an additional attic space.
In this case, the ridge beam is installed. The recommended slope of the slope is from 28º to 50º. This will ensure that snow falls off the slopes on its own in winter, and the roofing will not be subject to significant wind loads.
To make rafter legs, it is recommended to use a 15x5 cm construction board 6 m long. The upper frame frame will act as a mauerlat. The installation step of the trusses is 60 cm.
Depending on the chosen roof covering, additional installation of wooden sheathing along the rafter structure may be necessary. And if you plan to equip a residential attic space, the roof must be insulated.
After the roof is erected, you can immediately begin finishing the façade and living quarters.
How to increase living space?
Almost any small home owner would like to increase its size. This is especially important if the family is constantly growing or numerous guests come to visit.
To increase living space, you can resort to several effective methods , but it is advisable to take them into account already at the design stage of the building:
- Most often, the basement floor is equipped for this purpose to make it suitable for living. In the resulting room you can make a game room or recreation area.
- You can turn a one-story house into a two-story cottage. The addition of an additional floor will allow you to delimit the building and move the bedrooms upstairs, and organize a kitchen, living room and bathroom below. Of course, this method is very expensive and will require a lot of money. In addition, you will have to strengthen the foundation and load-bearing walls of the home.
- If you glaze and insulate the terrace, you can get an additional room. You can use it at your own discretion.
- By installing a roof with an attic, you can divide the country house into two levels. In the future, they can be equipped to suit every taste, since they are equally suitable for living.
- Even at the stage of installing the roof, you can plan a sleeping place under it. To do this, you need to create a flat horizontal surface above the first floor, and then install a symmetrical roof.
- It is not necessary to install a symmetrical gable roof. A single-slope layout is possible, which will create multi-level zones on the site below it.
- All of the above methods for rationally increasing the living area allow you to quickly and efficiently add several square meters to your home.
Ways to increase living space at home
An economical and rational owner of a small country house always has a desire to win extra square meters to create more comfort. This task is especially relevant if the house is designed for year-round use. It is recommended to pay attention to the following ways to increase the living space of a house to 30 sq.m and take them into account at the design stage.
- Arrangement of the ground floor for living quarters, electric sauna, gym, library.
- Construction of a second floor (the most radical way to significantly increase living space. On the second floor there are rooms where privacy and peace are required - an office, bedrooms. Increased costs for construction and finishing work and the purchase of materials should be taken into account; you will also have to take care of more reliable strength properties foundation and load-bearing walls).
- Insulation and glazing of the terrace (this technique transforms the terrace into the category of internal useful premises; on a warm terrace, protected from precipitation, wind and insects, you can equip a dining room, office or year-round kitchen).
- Installing a mansard roof, building a house with a residential attic, usually costs the same or slightly more than a one-story house with a traditional gable roof design, but the result is two levels, equally suitable for arranging a bedroom, office, bathroom or children's playground).
- Organization of a sleeping place under a symmetrical gable roof (even at the stage of installing the roof, care should be taken to build a reliable horizontal platform under it; thus, you can create a second level, effectively using non-working vertical space, which will allow you not to occupy the main horizontal area with a bed or folding sofa).
- Layout and installation of a shed roof (such a roof rests on walls of different heights, which makes it possible to build a small canopy on supports or a ramp near a higher wall; a high-rise platform can be used as a work area or a small dressing room by installing a ladder to it).
Expert advice
- The layout of 25 square meters of housing should be carried out thoughtfully and in compliance with important rules. This will allow you to make maximum use of the interior spaces of the house without losing their functionality.
- To rationally distribute the internal space, it is worth making the distribution of living rooms a priority. To save free space inside the building, it is best to combine a bath and toilet, and leave minimal space for the boiler room, hallway and storage room.
- Also, to preserve useful space, it is important not to fence off the kitchen room from the dining room. By combining two functional zones, you can win not only in terms of footage, but also in the ease of movement from the working part of the room to the dining area.
- Modern heating boilers are compact in size, so it is not necessary to allocate a separate room for them. You just need to hang the device on the wall in the kitchen or bathroom.
- To increase space, it is necessary to use vertical storage systems. In this case, hidden structures that open or extend when necessary are well suited.
- Furniture should be compact so as to take up little space. It is better to purchase multifunctional pieces of furniture, such as a sofa bed. Corner cabinets, tables and bedside tables can also help with planning.
Country house design
A correct and rational design of a seasonal country house begins with the development of a detailed drawing with a description and indication of all utilities. It should display the heating system, sewerage, water supply and gas pipeline.
Some of them are not an urgent need for installation, since the house will not be used all year round.
To save money on building a garden house, you can resort to ideas that will reduce the cost of its maintenance and construction itself. For example, instead of a full toilet, you can install a dry closet.
It is best to install a summer shower at your summer cottage. A traditional bath or shower can only function if there is a full running water supply, while an outdoor shower has a simplified water supply system. It is not at all necessary to dig a sewer for it; you can use a bathing tray.
To save money, you need to abandon the heating system or install it only in a small area of the house. Instead of a classic device, a convector system can be used. And the water supply system should be organized autonomously in order to minimize the consumption of drinking water.
Features of designing seasonal country houses
A full-fledged, high-quality design of a country garden house includes the development of a detailed block describing utilities: sewerage, ventilation, water supply, gas, heating. Engineering communications and some household amenities, vital for year-round living, are not a critical need when visiting a dacha on a summer weekend.
If you are planning a 5x4 house, which will be used only for short-term living in the warm season, it is appropriate to consider ideas that reduce the cost of building and maintaining the house throughout the year.
- Installing a dry toilet instead of a floor-mounted or wall-mounted toilet.
- If you have a water storage tank, it is permissible to organize a place for a country shower instead of a traditional bath or shower stall, which require a full plumbing system (a tank with water heated on the stove is placed at the top, a small bathing tray is installed on the floor; if there is no sewer drain, then the used water is taken out to yard).
- Refusal of the heating system or heating only a small area of the house (at the end of the summer season, it is necessary to drain all the water from the coolant or add antifreeze); An alternative to the classic scheme for heating a house can be a convector heating system.
- Organization of an autonomous water supply system that can withstand the gentle, “dacha” regime of consumption of potable water.
Ways to visually increase area
The layout of a small-sized house 5x5 m consists not only of creating a high-quality drawing and designing the interior space. The plan for such an area should also include the interior design of the premises.
With the help of a competent design project, you can emphasize the advantages of your home and visually expand its boundaries.
There are several proven methods aimed at visually increasing space.
They must be taken into account when organizing rooms, especially if the area of the house is less than 25 m2:
- To finish the floor, ceiling and walls, you need to select light bed shades, which, due to the abundance of light, expand the room.
- If roll coverings or photo wallpapers are chosen for wall decoration, they should have small drawings or patterns. Volumetric figures eat up useful meters.
- It is better to zoning rooms using light partitions or portable screens. A bar counter, an aquarium or a sofa cope well with this task. The construction of additional walls will make already miniature rooms smaller.
- To create space and integrity, you need to decorate the interior of the house in one style direction.
- Good lighting is the key to making small dimensions appear larger. Multi-tiered lamps or spotlights can help with this.
- Any mirror surface, due to the reflection of light, makes the space wider, so an abundance of mirrors will be a definite plus.
- A small garden plot is not a reason to give up. You can even put a good and roomy house on it. The main thing is to use construction tricks and know how to optimize the usable space.
- Having familiarized yourself with all the rules and tips, you can competently think through the design of a 5 by 5 m house and not spend fabulous money. The use of inexpensive materials and precise installation of utilities will help build a multifunctional and comfortable home.
Advantages and disadvantages
As already mentioned, a 5x7 house has a number of advantages and features. Many have seen a photo of a 5 by 7 country house and only on the basis of this information they know about some of its features.
Of course, this information is not at all enough, so next we will talk about the main advantages and disadvantages of a private building. The main positive features include the following:
- comfortable room;
- used for various purposes;
- advantageous layout options;
- many design styles.
Indeed, a private house of this size has a number of really interesting features for relaxation. Most often, in suburban construction, wood (log house) is used, so fresh air always circulates in the room.
In addition, there are many design styles that provide maximum ease of use. This means that absolutely everything you need will be at hand. Moreover, there will be no annoying neighbors nearby, so a holiday in this house is equated to a holiday on a desert island.
The design of a 5 by 7 house can be interpreted in your own way. For some, this is an ordinary cottage, which is used only for storing gardening tools, but for others, it is a real place for relaxation. Still others prefer to build such houses in cities in order to be closer to work and have their own independent island right in the center of all this fuss.

Designers and architects have provided many designs for such a house, so the owner does not need to invent anything at all. This is convenient, since such houses have always been in greatest demand. This once again confirms the fact that people need a room of this size and for a reason.
You can order any layout - with an attic, a bay window, a long veranda or even a balustrade. All these features will give the house sophistication and the owner additional comfort.
In addition to the layout, there are also a lot of design options for both the interior and the landscape of the territory. When choosing between styles, you can choose exactly the color scheme in which you want to be. Today, nothing is impossible and no matter what the climate in the country is, the house is universal both for the landscape and for the facade, interior decoration of the room.
But there are also disadvantages. In general, most often these include the cost of construction. This is because this house has many layout options, you can essentially make anything out of it. The owner of the future home, as a rule, gets excited about the idea of ordering the most convenient option for himself, but this may require additional amounts of money.
In addition, such houses are most often built outside the city, since acquiring land for it is not so easy, especially if you want to be as close to the city as possible or in it itself.
Interior layout of houses up to 30 square meters. m.
Every extra square meter on the drawing of houses with a small area provides additional opportunities for arranging the interior. A reasonable approach to the development of additional space is a guarantee of creating an optimal layout.
Possibilities of 5x5 area
The layout of a 5x5 house requires especially close attention due to the most compact area. Nevertheless, such a tiny house can become a full-fledged place for secluded relaxation for visiting guests or an isolated steam room/sauna with a spacious room for relaxation and tea drinking.
This space is also optimal for setting up a store, as well as an isolated place of work (it is quite possible to organize a creative studio, a library with an office for remote work, or a small workshop even on an area of 5x5).
Principles for successful planning of a country house
The layout of a 5 by 5 house requires thoughtfulness and adherence to basic principles that allow the most efficient use of the interior space of the house without compromising its comfort and functionality:
- Priority in the distribution of internal space is given to residential premises;
- Minimum dimensions for the vestibule, hallway and other auxiliary premises;
- Combined bathroom in the house;
- Refusal from an isolated kitchen in favor of a common space that combines cooking, dining and relaxation areas;
- Choosing a wall-mounted boiler for heating, which does not require a separate room and can be compactly placed in the kitchen area or in the bathroom;
- Maximum use of vertical space for storing objects and things (niches recessed into the wall, wall-mounted cases and cabinets, shelves on consoles);
- Purchase of multifunctional furniture for interior design; Corner models are especially practical, allowing you to fill the usually empty area of the corners, freeing up more convenient space.
Layout of a private house
The layout of a 7 by 5 house provides for different layout options. This once again confirms the versatility of the structure; absolutely any options can be ordered, and the owner, based on his capabilities, selects the appropriate options.
In addition to the main structure, additional extensions are also chosen that increase comfort:
- with attic;
- with bay window;
- with balustrade and veranda.
The attic is considered a popular option and one might even say standard. All these attics have long gone out of fashion, and why are they needed if you can build ordinary sheds nearby for domestic purposes? The attic completely opens up the view of the surrounding area and makes it much easier to accommodate arriving guests.
Recently, bedrooms have been set up in attics, because it is much more convenient to relax under a roof in the summer. You can make windows in the ceiling to admire the starry sky. A 5 by 7 house with an attic is always beautiful and stylish.
Although the bay window is gradually going out of fashion, it is nevertheless a demonstration of the sophistication and solidity of the owner. This is because it is quite difficult to build a bay window with your own hands and only professionals do it.

Unfortunately, a 5 by 7 frame house does not provide for the construction of a bay window. In addition to all this, bay windows can be used for dining rooms, offices and other purposes. With a beautiful landscape design, you can create an excellent additional place to view your property.
A long and spacious veranda is an additional opportunity to make the house even more beautiful. A familiar balustrade full of flowerpots and other plants is what immediately catches the eye of people passing by.
Most often, such buildings can be seen in villages that are located first from the city. It is in such places that the most beautiful houses are located, and a veranda with a balustrade is the most popular thing you can see there.
Design and decoration
A two-story house 5 by 7 is the very construction option that can be decorated as you like. There are many styles that are known to everyone and can be applied even in this building. But Russians are conservative people and are accustomed to decorating their homes according to the principles that are popular in the country.
The most commonly chosen styles are:
- American style;
- in the usual country house;
- classic version;
- modern and high-tech.
- The American style, although it has found its wide distribution in the West, is nevertheless in no less demand in Russia. True, we are used to building such houses outside the city, but Americans are building similar buildings in cities, in entire residential neighborhoods.
- This home has it all - living room, bedroom, office, kitchen, separate dining room and even an attached garage. Bedrooms and offices are usually located on the second floor, and the bathroom and kitchen are on the first floor.
- Choosing a barbecue complex for a summer cottage - a cozy relaxation area for the whole family
- Many people don’t think about the design at all and build ordinary dachas at random. This approach is mainly used by the older generation, who do not want to think about elegance at all.
A 5 x 5 country house is simple and profitable. Styles such as modern and high-tech are more suitable for those people who plan to stay in this house all year round. Pleasant colors and suitable furniture will allow you to create your own coziness and comfort.
One-story houses
One-story houses 5 by 5 are the simplest option in construction. Sometimes such houses are additionally equipped with an attic for greater comfort, but if you are building a room for a summer residence, then an attic is practically not needed. Many people cannot understand what technologies are used in construction, as well as how to make a room as comfortable as possible.
The main features of a comfortable 5x5 private house include the following:
- walls made of logs or foam blocks;
- corrugated roof;
- floor insulation 100 mm;
- open veranda;
- carriage ceiling lining;
- foundation on concrete blocks.
There are many projects on the market that involve the use of a variety of materials. It can be either brick or wood, but you can also often find foam blocks. The choice of material depends on the purpose of the room.
If you plan to build a 5x5 house for temporary recreation, you can choose a log house, which will perfectly promote relaxation and fresh air circulation. If you plan to organize a completely residential situation, then choose more serious materials.
Corrugated sheeting is considered the most optimal option in the construction of roofs for absolutely any house. In wooden houses, this material will be more than relevant, since it is recommended to completely rid the walls of excess moisture accumulation. Although the material is not cheap, its consumption for such a small house will be minimal, so experts recommend using it.
Surprisingly, even in such houses the floors are insulated. As a rule, if you initially insulate a cold floor well, much less cold from the foundation will enter the room. Also, if you plan to build a house even for winter living, use electric floor heating, so there is no need to install gas or wood heating, the floor will completely heat a small room with sufficient thermal insulation of the walls and ceiling.
The main feature of such a small house is that it is built with an impressive veranda, and the entrance to the room is through it.
Most often these are American-style houses, which we will discuss below. Since the construction of a 5x5 house is most often carried out for the construction of a summer room, the room in it is used for sleeping, and the veranda is used for relaxing in the fresh air.
As a rule, in the winter version you can most often find clapboard ceiling coverings. This is because with sufficient insulation of the walls and floor, cold air can come from the roof, and the heat exchange reaction completely removes the heated air from the room, exchanging it for cold air coming from the roof. The lining will interfere with this process.
Although the house is small in volume and overall weight, this does not mean that there is no need to prepare a stable foundation for it. Many projects involve the construction of a foundation on concrete blocks, which will be sufficient to complete a one-story construction. In general, you can order cheaper options, but if you build it, it will last for many years - this is what any Russian consumer thinks.
Subtleties of choosing a project
Having decided to start building his own one-story housing, the developer probably already knows what exactly he wants to see upon completion of the work. Many people think that they can draw up a design plan on their own, but it is not so simple.
It is better to contact the design office and select a ready-made plan. But standard drawings are not always suitable for the individual construction of a one-story house and often require adjustments.
Factors influencing the design of a 5x5 house:
- features of the proposed development site (type of soil, depth of groundwater, location of entrance gates, etc.);
- the cost of constructing a building according to the proposed project; purpose of the building;
- optimal area.
Taking into account the above factors, the construction of the house will occur as quickly as possible and will satisfy all the wishes of the customer.
Typical small-sized houses are sometimes called “Scandinavian”. Most often, permanent occupancy is not planned in buildings. Therefore, in northern latitudes, such structures do not have large heating systems, and a frame with a panel structure is used as a building material. The design plans for such houses are very simple and uncomplicated.
Construction of a frame structure takes less than a week, and the price of the entire building is freely included in the annual salary budget of the average worker.
If the developer intends to operate the premises for residential purposes, then the design plan must include all the necessary communication components (heating, water supply, drainage, etc.). It is more profitable to use brick or imitation timber as a building material; they require additional insulation, but are still more suitable for life.
Whatever building material is used, the total area of the finished structure will require the use of a small amount of furniture. But even such a space is visually enlarged and conveniently used using all the necessary interior elements.
