Two-story baths: beautiful examples of designs

Currently, many owners of private summer cottages dream of their own baths. Today there are a considerable number of different projects for the design of such premises. At the same time, bath structures in two floors are becoming more and more popular.

A large number of people prefer two-story baths, because they can significantly reduce construction costs. Moreover, this type of design will allow you to combine several separate zones in one room.

Quite often, designers include spacious terraces in the projects of these structures.... The project can either be done by hand or ordered from special construction companies. Such structures will be able to emphasize the beauty and elegance of the bath building and the entire summer cottage as a whole.

Many repair specialists recommend that consumers build two-story baths on their land plots, because such structures have a number of important positive qualities:

• Multifunctionality... These structures will not take up too much space, but at the same time they will be able to accommodate a variety of premises (gym, pantry, workshop, billiard space).
• Great appearance... Two-story buildings of this type will look great on almost any suburban area and will be able to give it a beautiful, sophisticated accent.
• Possibility of installing a pool... These baths will allow owners to easily build a pool. As a rule, it is installed on the second, free floor.
• Light insulation of the upper tier... It is not at all necessary to carry out complex procedures for insulating the second floor, because the hot steam from the steam room will rise higher and warm the space.

Currently, repair specialists offer a large list of materials suitable for finishing two-story bath structures. At the same time, the overwhelming majority of consumers traditionally choose different types of wood. It is the wooden base that is most often used in the construction of these structures.

Most often, a simple timber is used for decoration.... This material is environmentally friendly, with the help of it you can easily create a beautiful and harmonious design of the room. A log base can be an option similar to a bar. - it has practically the same important properties and qualities.

Often, foam concrete is also used in the construction of two-story baths - this material is gaining more and more popularity among buyers.

Although it is inferior to woody bases in environmental friendliness, it still boasts important positive qualities:

• has high fire resistance;
• has a light weight;
• allows easy installation.

It should also be noted that this material does not require a heavy-duty foundation, it the usual strip base is quite enough, because the structure of foam concrete is quite light in weight.

It should be noted that if it is foam concrete that is used in the construction of a two-tiered bath room, it will be necessary to make additional external finishing of the structure.

This type of product is not decorative; it is not suitable for decorating such structures, either inside or outside. Otherwise, the random design of the environment will turn out to be too ugly and uninteresting.

Currently many consumers give their preference to the design of bath structures using siding... Some repair experts note that this material will be able to attract consumers not only with a beautiful aesthetic appearance, but also with a low cost.

Another popular material for the exterior decoration of bunk baths, a brick is considered... Such a foundation will be strong enough and will be able to serve its owners for many years.

Before starting all the necessary construction work, be sure to draw up detailed drawings of the future two-story bath. In this case, not only all the elements of the bath should be applied on the diagrams, but also the exact dimensions of individual parts and the entire structure as a whole.

Be sure to mark the project of the second floor on the drawing - it can be designed for various living rooms (pool, billiard room, play area for children). If it is decided to supplement the bath with a terrace, veranda, winter gardens or a garage, then they must also be applied to the diagram.

Many experts recommend applying heating and water supply systems to the drawings of future baths.... The roof of the structure should also be displayed on them. It can be of various types (gable, angular, broken, straight). The choice of the type of overlap depends on the general type of decoration of the room and on the individual preferences of its owners.

It is important to think over all the dimensions of the bathhouse in advance and designate them on the diagram. Due to the presence of two floors at once, the structure can be quite small in size (3x4, 4x4, 4x6 meters). It is worth noting that the bath with a scale of 3 by 4 meters is the smallest, therefore, during its construction, you need to carefully approach the design.

There are projects of premises with a large area (6x6, 6x8, 6x4, 6x9, 6x7, 9x9 meters). Structures measuring 6 by 9, 6 by 7 and 9x9 meters are quite spacious and can accommodate several residential areas in addition to the steam room.

It is important to remember that the size of the bath should be selected so that it and the main house look harmonious on the site. When building too large a structure, a small house will look irregular. Most experts advise you to study the scale of these buildings in advance and correlate them.

It is worth noting that one scheme will not be enough when building a bath in the country. It is most advantageous to draw up several sketches of individual parts at once and one general drawing that can show the entire structure as a whole.... This will allow you to carry out all the installation work correctly and avoid violations and mistakes.

Today, designers offer a huge variety of design options for the outer part of two-tiered bath rooms. It can be done using a variety of materials (wood, decorative stone, metal, siding, plastic). Often, when arranging one building, several types of finishes are combined at once.

Currently decoration with logs is considered the most fashionable and beautiful, made "semi-antique". In this case, the logs can be of a wide variety of color shades. Often in these types of decoration, wood carving is used, which complements the design and gives the room a beauty and grace. The presence of metal or plastic inserts is also acceptable, which also allow you to give elegance and aesthetics to the building.

Special attention should be paid to the finishing of baths built of foam concrete... This material is not decorative and should not be left as a finishing surface. To give a beautiful aesthetic appearance, such structures are covered with siding of a bright shade or decorated with small stones. Sometimes, in design projects, you can find the external design of such premises with the help of ordinary wooden beams.

Today there are a large number of ideas for planning the interior of two-story baths. Each option for zoning space has its own advantages, however, when drawing up a plan, you need to rely, first of all, on your desires and preferences. In addition, the design of the location of individual zones will depend on what purpose the rooms will have.

On the first floor, as a rule, the steam room itself is located, and on the second tier there are living rooms. The upper part of the structure can also be made one whole space, or it can be divided into several small zones. This separation can give the structure a beautiful appearance.

Most experts recommend that consumers pay attention to some important parameters before starting work on the design of a two-story bath. First, make sure that the foundation on which the entire structure will stand is strong and reliable enough. Otherwise, the premises will not last long and will soon collapse easily.

You also need to pay attention to the water supply system. This is especially important if you want to install a pool on the upper tier. A faulty plumbing mechanism can make construction very difficult. Along with the many experts advise to focus on sewer outlets for drains.

To date, there are various design projects for the arrangement of two-story baths. Some of them represent small and laconic structures, but sometimes specialists also offer complex two-tier structures-complexes. As a rule, such a room is made of different types of material (wood, stone, plastic, metal).

Often, among the projects of two-tier baths, you can find buildings made of dark wood. Often in such designs, lighter elements are used, which are necessary to dilute the appearance of the structure. The roof is usually made the same color or a little lighter. At the same time, it is most advantageous to decorate windows and doors in lighter colors (beige or white).

It is also quite common to see baths built using wooden logs of a light color palette. In this case, the roof is best done in the same colors, but you should not use dark colors to design such a coating. Door and window openings can be decorated in white or light gray shades.

There are many sauna projects made of wooden beams or light beige siding. Moreover, additional elements (stairs, door, window frames, roof) are made of darker materials (brown, mustard). The presence of decorative stone, metal inserts and carvings is also acceptable in these types of finishes.

Some designers recommend finishing the bath structure with decorative stones of different color shades. Often in such projects, low columns are made, made of the same material. Overlapping can be done in a darker palette (chocolate, dark blue, dark green).

Also, these designs are often equipped outside with several small street lamps of a round or square shape. They will be able to give the bath room a beautiful appearance and create a pleasant atmosphere.
