Beautiful projects of baths with a relaxation room

In a good spacious sauna with a relaxation room, you can enjoy not only the steam, but also the conversation at the table in any company. Such a building will become the object of envy of neighbors and the pride of its owners.

Modern baths should include the following list of mandatory premises:

1. steam room;
2. washing room;
3. restroom.

Such a standard set will allow you to rest comfortably, moreover, the building will not take up much space on the territory of the summer cottage or the adjacent territory of a private house.

If there can be size assumptions regarding the steam room and the washing room (the whole company does not always steam at the same time), then the recreation area should be spaciousso that every guest has the opportunity to access an empty seat.

If we talk about private baths, then it is most reasonable to choose projects for 4-6 people, commercial options - up to 10 people... Miniature building 3x3 sq. m accommodates a recreation room measuring 1.5x3 sq. m. This room is enough for a company of 4 guests.

It is not rational to build a very large bathhouse on your site. It takes a lot of time and fuel to heat it up. And for the safety of your budget, it is better to decide in advance on the number of lovers to take a steam bath and be guided by this.

If the bath is a way of life or a commercial investment of money, then you can consider options with additional options that will decorate your pastime and relaxation. Combination options are also popular.

If the recreation room is a closed space, then it will be pleasant to go out onto the terrace to breathe in fresh air. In the summer, you can generally move the recreation area to the street., equipping it with comfortable chairs, a table, a hammock or sofas with armchairs. In winter, you can go out onto the terrace to cool down.

The size can also be customized. If the terrace is planned as an outdoor recreation area, then it can be made in the entire width of the bath, as well as with a turn. A spacious square open veranda on the same foundation with the sauna and under the same roof can be used as a gazebo at any time.

There is a possibility of arranging the pool on a large terrace. The canopy will prevent the water from getting too hot from the sun's rays, which is so important when you want to freshen up, as well as leaves and fluff in large quantities will not fly into the pool.

If you don't want to install the pool on the terrace, you can do it inside the bath. A separate room can be allocated for the pool, which can be accessed directly from the steam room, but more often there are projects in which the pool is located directly in the recreation room.

A small version 2x2 with cold water can serve as a river ice hole. Heating is needed for swimming pools. For a comfortable stay, a size of about 6x3 is suitable... As entertainment in such a bathing pond, you can install waterfalls, water cannons or a hydromassage system.

Contrasting dipping can be achieved without complicated pool installation. Small fonts resembling a huge barrel are available in stores with bath equipment. They do not require digging a pit, complex finishing and a filter system. For a comfortable dive, a ladder leads to the hot tub.

By combining the terrace and the lounge, it is possible to save space on the plot. The veranda can be glazed with sliding windows, which will be closed in the cold season and swing open in summer.

This option is worth considering for those who are planning the construction of an object for summer use in the country. In addition, sliding windows can be equipped with mosquito nets, and for the summer this is the best escape from mosquitoes, moths and flies.

For a comfortable stay in the bathhouse for several hours, you should think about arranging a toilet, especially for commercial projects. You will have to make additional costs for the arrangement of communications, but a bathroom inside the bathhouse is simply necessary, especially in the cold season.

There are many projects of baths with an attic floor. It can be used as a guest room - equip it with a bed, or you can install a billiard or tennis table, plasma TV, armchairs or a sofa.

Small projects involve a layout where the first floor is occupied by a steam room, a washing room, a terrace, and the second is a relaxation room.

Interesting options for baths with an attic, which have a balcony... So you can enjoy the view from a height, arrange on the balcony an additional relaxation area with armchairs and a table.

When deciding to build a bathhouse with an attic floor, it is better to choose projects in which the roof is gable and broken... This increases the area of ​​useful space. In addition, you should consider the thermal insulation system between the levels. This is important for maintaining the best microclimate in the steam room.

If a one-story building is just a bathhouse for the sake of a bathhouse, then an object with a second floor can bear the proud title of a bathhouse-house. Increasingly, such buildings are growing on private summer cottages and suburban areas. The construction costs of such a facility are less than the construction of two separate buildings. The bathhouse and the house, united by one roof and standing on the same foundation, have their own characteristics.

The first floor is usually occupied by a steam room, a washroom or shower, a kitchen with a recreation room, a bathroom, a vestibule. On the second floor there is a hall, two bedrooms. The size of such a building with the optimal number of rooms is 6x6 m. As additional premises, the layout can include: a terrace, a furnace, a dressing room, a utility block, a firebox, a balcony.

You can build a bath from almost any building material, each of which has its own characteristics. You need to choose the necessary option, having carefully worked out all its pros and cons.

A classic Russian bathhouse has always been built on the basis of a natural wood frame. It is noteworthy that a ready-made log house can be found on sale. This fact will speed up the construction process, make it possible to build a bathhouse with less effort and cost less people.

The chopped bath has excellent properties required for a steam room:

• retains heat, while quickly heating up;
• the material is environmentally friendly, does not harm human health;
• low level of shrinkage;
• has a high level of sound insulation;

• due to the fact that the weight of the log house is small, it is enough to build a simpler belt type of foundation;
• natural ventilation of the wood allows the building to "breathe".

But such a building also has its drawbacks. Despite the fact that a log bath is the most popular type of material for such an object, a number of negative factors should be taken into account:

• wood material has an increased risk of fire;
• the frame absorbs moisture and evaporation well, which leads to material decay and mold formation;
• the surface of the logs requires treatment with antiseptic agents, impregnations against decay;
• the seams between the elements must be sealed to avoid heat loss.

Frame houses and baths are increasingly found in suburban areas.

This technology has a lot of significant advantages:

• the structure is installed on piles, so the foundation is not required (this saves money, speeds up the construction process);
• the frame structure remains stable in the event of seismic vibrations;
• considered environmentally friendly and safe for human health;
• installation work can be carried out even at a temperature of -15 degrees;
• you can use the bath immediately after the completion of construction work.

Negative properties include:

• additional costs for insulation and finishing of the building (expensive materials are needed that do not emit toxic substances when heated);
• the foundation shrinks in 2 years up to 10 cm.

Brick baths are rare. Why this is happening becomes clear after a qualitative assessment of the resulting building.

The pluses include:

• resistance to mechanical damage;
• durability;
• heat resistance;
• brick does not burn, does not support fire;
• mold does not form inside and on the surface of the material, it does not rot;
• the material keeps warm for a long time;
• simplicity of construction of buildings of any number of storeys with various architectural elements.

The disadvantages of brick baths can greatly affect the rejection of such material:

• construction is not budgetary;
• a strengthened foundation is needed;
• thermal insulation and interior decoration are required.

There are different opinions about foam block baths.

The undoubted advantages include the following characteristics:

• good thermal insulation is achieved due to the porous structure;
• availability and low cost of the material;
• the material is durable, but easy to saw;
• safe for human health;
• blocks do not rot, mold does not grow in them;
• the material is easy to install alone;
• does not require a reinforced foundation.

The negative properties include the following:

• due to the porous structure, the blocks absorb a large amount of moisture, while drying out for a long time;
• additional ventilation for drying rooms in the form of windows leads to heat loss, this is especially significant in a steam room;
• external and internal finishes are required;
• the material is quite young, so it is difficult to talk about its durability;
• waterproofing requires a sealant that, when heated, can emit toxic fumes.

Different zoning techniques can be used both in a miniature and in a spacious bath. For example, in a 3x4 or 3x3 building without the possibility of organizing a separate vestibule for changing clothes in the recreation room, it is worth installing a screen. It can be sliding, in the form of a curtain, or it can correspond in design. So, in a bathhouse from a log house in the Russian style, you can make an openwork wooden partition.

In a spacious sauna without a separate room for the pool, you can beat the room in various ways.For example, fence off the swimming area with a low partition or bar counter, or you can erect a pedestal for a swimming pool.

Lighting plays an important role in zoning. Several light sources will make a single space interesting and versatile. Underwater pool lighting adds atmosphere, will draw attention to the object. In a bath house, it is worth considering separate light sources for the working area in the kitchen.

In order to hide everything unnecessary, stationary partitions can be used to separate the firebox... Such options are essential for commercial projects. It will be possible to flood the bathhouse without disturbing the guests.

With regard to permanent stationary partitions, which are on the drawings of the future construction, the following principles should be adhered to:

• The relaxation room is the largest room in the bathhouse.
• A proper steam room should comfortably accommodate 4 people. Do not make the steam room too large - it will have to be heated for a long time, and it is more difficult to constantly maintain the required temperature, so it runs the risk of being cold.
• The washroom can also be small. For household purposes, a room that contains a shower stall and a space for drying off with a towel and putting on a robe is suitable.
• To take out the recreation area to the street in summer, it is better to take care of a spacious terrace.

When creating a project, it is best to adhere to the following sequence of premises: first, a porch or terrace, then a vestibule-hallway leading to a walk-through rest room, from which you can get to the toilet, as well as to the washing and steam room... As a rule, a bathroom, a washroom and a steam room form a single unit - this is the easiest way to organize communications.

• A convenient version of the bath can be obtained if the exit to the open terrace is from the vestibule and directly from the rest room. The firebox can be located in the recreation room and act as a fireplace.
• A spacious bath house with an additional bedroom on the ground floor will accommodate guests. In the rest room, you can install a kitchen with a dining group, a sofa, a TV, and make several light sources.

• From the room with the pool, you can make an additional exit to a small terrace or porch. It can be brought out to the backyard of the site to hide it from prying eyes.
