Modern houses in a sophisticated high-tech style

High-tech style is a favorite of pragmatic people. He embodies new technologies in the field of construction and design. Hi-tech is, first of all, an ergonomic home of the future, which allows you to appreciate the benefits of large space and comfort. Complex engineering solutions and high technologies are hidden behind the external simplicity.

A distinctive feature of a house built in a modern high-tech style is a functional layout with a minimum number of partitions, strict geometric lines in the project. Thus, the entire structure should have the correct shape, strict proportions in the exterior and interior, minimal decor.

The construction is quite expensive for the owners. High technologies, expensive materials (mostly artificial: metal, glass, concrete, plastic, etc.), expensive professional design require significant investments. However, a ready-made house has the main advantages of economy in terms of operation, durability and environmental friendliness.

Hi-tech is also a "smart home", which also performs various functions., such as turning on and off the alarm, adjusting the heating, turning on and off various equipment in the house - all in automatic mode. This is a high-tech house with solar panels and a wind generator. Heating in the house will be air, and the vacuum cleaner and other appliances will be built-in. The house is equipped with the most modern communication systems.

High-tech buildings are generally large and spacious. Projects can be either one-story or multi-story. Therefore, this style is chosen for the construction of private houses, and for large public buildings, hotels, business centers.

However, small two-storey high-tech cottages are often found. Small one-, two- and three-story country houses.

A one-storey mini-house fully meets the requirements of style, it is minimalism and functionality. The number of storeys of a house is solely the preference of the future owner, who approves the project and plan. High-tech style does not limit the number of floors. Multi-level houses with complex internal communication are also characteristic.

The facades of the houses are distinguished by the use of a large amount of glass in the external decoration, which increases the space. Intense lighting replaces the decor. In addition to lighting, glossy, shiny materials in its decoration give elegance to the facade. Facade materials are, as a rule, artificial materials: plastic, metal, glass or concrete. Blocked cottages are common. The façade is often made of large concrete blocks. Or it can be frame and modular houses built from modern SIP panels. They are filled with wood shavings or polystyrene inside, which allows you to keep warm in the house during the cold season.

Hi-tech is also changing over time., and today, wood is often used for decorating houses, as well as brick. Often used as elements of minimalist decor. These materials are combined with metal, plastic or concrete. The facade of a wooden house in the bio-tech style (bionic high-tech) can be made of profiled or glued beams, as well as logs. The house can be partially decorated with brick blocks, giving it a more elegant look.

The lack of decor is compensated by other techniques. For example, chrome-plated, metal, glass facade parts fulfill an aesthetic function. Open brick, a pattern of natural wood used in cladding, is a substitute for decor.

If glass is used in the decoration of the house, then it must have a protective film from ultraviolet radiation. It protects the house from overheating on sunny days and saves on air conditioning.

Important elements of the facade are not only large panoramic windows, but also stairs, ventilation systems and other details (brickwork, painted pipes, various metal structures), which are carried out. This is especially typical for industrial high-tech, imitating the facades of factories.

The facade of the house is laconic and austere. Often made in gray, metallic colors, contrasting combinations can also be used. Neon lamps are often used to illuminate the facade.

A large playground is being built in front of the house, the adjacent territory is covered with a lawn with straight paths, there are no garden plantings and flower beds.

Hi-tech are large panoramic windows. The more light enters the house, the better. To reduce the heat load on sunny days, the windows are covered with a protective film or tint. The frames are made of plastic or aluminum. In most cases, the design of the window is lightweight and safe.

Private house projects often involve the construction of a pergola over the windows. These are special functional geometric sheds that protect windows from sunlight. The functionality of the windows is also well thought out: noise reduction, thermal insulation, safety and environmental friendliness.

The house is being built with a flat roof. It can be made of transparent material. In this case, its main purpose is to fill the house with light.

Or the roof may be functional. For example, in southern latitudes, residential buildings and hotels often have a roof with a swimming pool. A lawn, a recreation area or a sports ground is suitable for a country house.

Solar panels can be installed on the roof, the most modern houses have wind generators on the roof.

Garage buildings are characterized by a simple geometric design, usually made of concrete and plastic. The garage is supplied with a variety of innovative technologies such as automatic lifting gates, automated turning on and off lights, and so on.

Only the best quality materials are used for interior decoration. This is usually natural wood (parquet, laminate). The design is subject to the rules of ergonomics, which includes both color therapy and psychotherapy. The design should be beautiful, but at the same time laconic. Ergonomics must take into account the peculiarities of human physiology. Therefore, high-tech as a whole is subordinated to the interests of the individual, the comfort and health of the home owners.

The design plan of the house is thought out to the subtleties and fully meets the requirements of functionality and minimalism.

Indoor lighting at home is a very important component of the style. There should be a lot of light in the room, because it allows you to expand the space. It can be complex lighting systems on the inside of the panels, lamps built into furniture, halogen bulbs, and so on.

The high-tech style is characterized by the use of blinds instead of curtains. Regular curtains prevent enough sunlight from entering the house, which is unacceptable in this case.

The basis of the color palette is neutral colors, black, white and gray.Smooth chrome surfaces, shiny interior materials. Bright colors can also be used, but there should be very few of them.

As a rule, laminate of any shade characteristic of the style is laid on the floor. The bathroom may have a self-leveling floor with a heating function.

The high-tech style is characterized by flat, smooth ceilings, with LED backlights, halogen lamps. The ceilings are predominantly high, since the important task is to emphasize the space.

For the construction of walls, strong reinforced concrete panels or a frame made of SIP panels (glued, filled with wood chips, or foam) are used. Like other elements of high-tech style, safety and practicality play a major role here.

For walls, as well as floors, laminate can be used. Walls are most often painted in light colors (or plain gray, beige). Since the high-tech style is characterized by a minimal number of internal partitions, ordinary walls are often replaced by large windows.

In the bathroom, tiles are most often seen.

Since hi-tech implies more free space and functionality, there is a minimum of furniture in the room. It is most often made of ergonomic materials, mainly in light colors, and has a shiny surface. The style is characterized by futuristic furniture.

Upholstered furniture made of fabric or imitation leather ensures maximum comfort. Furniture fittings - metal, chrome or matt. Upholstered furniture often has metal parts. Also characteristic are sliding tables, large lamps, open shelving, pull-out wardrobes. Furniture can also be made of metal (for example, in the kitchen).

In premium homes, designers often supply furniture with various smart technologies by linking it to the home's information system.

The interior can also be used in the “bio high-tech” style, which differs from the classic high-tech by its characteristic combination of natural materials with the latest technologies. The lines here may not necessarily be straight and clear, on the contrary, somewhat smoothed, smooth.

High-tech furniture is ergonomic. Made in the style of futurism, cubism, modernism.

Often use in the interior of carpets with a long pile, no patterns, monochromatic, neutral color. Instead of decor - light. It can be one large lamp or LED lighting around the entire perimeter of the room.

There are several ramifications of the high-tech style. Geometric high-tech is a classic version, it implies straight lines, strictly geometric shapes.

Let's consider some interesting options:

• Modern multi-level house in a geometric high-tech style. Concrete blocks are a characteristic material for the style. Panoramic windows along the entire perimeter and intense lighting create the effect of a large house;
• Bionic high-tech, or bio-tech, allows you to use natural materials such as wood or brick for facade decoration. They can be used as a minimal decoration or be the main material for facade decoration;

• The area in front of the house becomes a continuation of the building itself. The style is characterized by the absence of flowers and other plantings, a smooth regular lawn, straight paths. The garage is a small building of regular shape with a flat roof, built of concrete blocks. The entrances to the garage, as well as to the house, must be illuminated;
• House by the sea. Panoramic windows, thanks to sufficient light, allow you to highlight the space inside and out. A functional roof, set up as a relaxation area or pool, is characteristic of this style.

Living room modern design.Minimalism and the predominance of gray, silver shades, as well as smooth surfaces are a feature of the high-tech interior. There are practically no bright colors in the design of the living room.

Carpet is an important interior detail. It should be solid and have a long pile. The carpeted surface compensates for the lack of decor and makes the interior warmer and more comfortable.

High-tech style for the kitchen is a large and bright space, the most modern equipment and maximum convenience. Since hi-tech is a minimum of partitions, the kitchen is most often combined with the living room.
