Features and designs of houses with a pool

A private house is often an attractive architectural structure, a pool is an additional convenience and allows you to relax in comfort. But it should be borne in mind that a house with a pool has its own characteristics, and projects can be very diverse.

Private houses with a pool require certain construction costs, a well-thought-out project and high-quality work of professionals or their own specific knowledge and skills in the field of construction and engineering. They sometimes look very decent if all the design and construction conditions are met. Even so, pool houses have both pros and cons.

And if the pluses are often obvious, then the minuses do not lie so openly on the surface.

• The advantages of this design are that, first of all, it can become a decoration of the local area, a good accent inside the house. The pool always allows you to enjoy your rest, to carry out water procedures at any time, to keep yourself in shape. It is prestigious to live in such a house, it is good to receive guests. Usually there are many rooms in it, since the construction of the pool is foreseen in advance, and all other rooms are also indicated in the project.
• The disadvantages of this structure should be taken into account even when dreaming about such a house. Construction costs will be considerable. In order for the pool to function normally and not cause problems, especially if it is in the house, you will have to take care of all communications and also a specially equipped room. In addition, the pool will need to be maintained regularly to keep it clean, beautiful and safe for health.

A country house often involves the construction of additional buildings on the site or in the building itself of additional premises that can improve the quality of life and provide comfortable conditions for recreation.

A house with a garage is also a fairly common occurrence, and in such a building in the basement it may well accommodate a small pool. There are options when the bathing tank is located under the same roof as the house, but has a separate room with its own entrance.

The owners, who prefer to build houses from a bar, complement it with a bath. A log in such buildings looks the most harmonious. And here an outdoor pool attached to the bathhouse will be appropriate. A wooden house can have a pool inside, but then it is worthwhile to think carefully about how the room will be protected from moisture.

The house with a garden is always harmoniously complemented by an indoor summer pool. As for the size of such structures, they can be very different, and the configuration has not just strict geometric shapes, but smooth and unusual ones. But here everything depends on the area of ​​the site, the house and the funds expected to be spent on the construction of this facility. The pool will look perfect in a home with any style, be it high-tech or modern, Provence or Scandinavian. The main thing is that it blends harmoniously with the surrounding space.

In one-story buildings, the pool is most often located outside. Inside, thus, it is possible to arrange all the necessary rooms.The pool is the central part of the local area, where the recreation area is concentrated. There can also be tables, a fireplace, flower beds, alpine slides and other garden decorations.

• House stretched along the perimeter of the site and, as it were, divided into two parts, it allows you to equip a beautiful living room with panoramic windows, in the other part it will be possible to arrange bedrooms. The pool itself occupies a large space on the site, and a recreation area is also equipped here.

• Small pool near a one-story house with an attic it looks very organic, and a seating area is also provided here. In the house itself, panoramic windows open a view of the well-groomed area, a small terrace serves as another place for a pleasant pastime.

• A very interesting optionwhen the pool is located right next to the house.

A two-storey house gives more space for equipping different premises. And still, in most cases, the pool is placed on the street, since it is he who is the decoration of the site and even the accent of the local area. In this case, a hall, living room, kitchen and other rooms can be placed on the ground floor as needed. On the second floor, there are bedrooms and children's rooms, and, possibly, guest rooms.

• A two-storey house in the shade of trees with panoramic windows complements the pool with flowing lines.

• The brown design looks very colorful. The blue water of the pool looks especially bright against this background. The building has both a cozy terrace and a spacious balcony. There is enough space inside for different rooms, and a sauna may well be located in the annex to the house.

• The pool can be located inside, as in this case. The room, decorated with wood, looks very stylish, panoramic windows allow you to admire the landscape outside the window both in summer and in winter.

A 3-storey house can have a swimming pool both inside and outside. And even two pools for a large house are acceptable. It all depends on what other rooms are present in the building.

• This project is interesting in that the pool is located in the house so that the stairs lead to the area where you can sunbathe. Near the pool, the recreation area is also equipped with comfort.

• An extension with a swimming pool to a three-story house may look like this. The recreation area outside is quite extensive and allows you to enjoy the sun to the fullest.

• The three-storey building of a very unusual design, despite all its simplicity, looks very original. This can be achieved, including through panoramic windows. And despite the fact that the area of ​​the plot in front of the house is not large, there was a place for a pool and flooring near it.

When choosing a project, houses with a pool are based on many parameters.

• The financial component plays a major role. The choice of the number of storeys of the house, the area of ​​the site and the size of the pool itself depends on this.
• The materials from which the cottage was built and the pool itself are made also matter. Some people need a house exclusively made of glass and concrete, while others will be comfortable only in a wooden space. The pool, like the recreation area itself, has many nuances in decoration.
• In addition, initially it is necessary to decide where the pool will be located: in a building or on the street.
• Style often plays a decisive role in choosing a project, since for some only hi-tech or minimalism is acceptable, while others need a Mediterranean style, Japanese or modern.
• The hobbies and needs of all family members are also taken into account, as well as the number of residents, because this will determine how many bedrooms and children's rooms will be on the floor, what other rooms can be equipped: a workshop or a photo studio, a gym or a winter garden.

The pool is a rather complex structure that requires certain skills: construction and engineering. Therefore, it is not always possible to build such an object at home on your own. The construction of the pool directly in the cottage especially requires intervention or at least the consultation of specialists. The pool cannot be built in the house later - it is designed immediately, together with the building. It is much easier to make a pool in front of the house. Let's consider just such an option.

There can be many options for building a pool near the house: from the simplest design to a more solid option. Therefore, the use of materials and tools will be slightly different in each case. But in general you may need:

• all kinds of nails, screws and screwdrivers;
• hammer, ax, saw;
• spatulas of various sizes;
• concrete mixer;
• shovels;
• construction hair dryer.

Moreover, if you have to dig a serious pit for a large pool, then it will be problematic to do it manually. Most likely, you will have to resort to the help of equipment adapted for such work.

As for the materials, they will also differ depending on the features of the structure being erected. But in most cases it is:

• concrete;
• boards;
• stone;
• ceramic tile.

Let's outline the main stages.

• Before you start building your pool, you need to find a suitable level area. It should be located so that it is convenient to bring power supplies, water supply and sewerage system to it for discharging used water.

• Next, you should make a foundation pit. If the pool is completely submerged in the ground, you will have to dig a hole two meters deep. Provided that the object is on the surface and the foundation only needs to be slightly deepened, you can dig a pit about 50 cm.

• A simple option may involve creating a pool from boards and a bowl from a film. In this case, sand is laid on the bottom, then geotextiles. Next, a frame is made of boards, which must be carefully treated with a water-repellent agent. Next, a bowl is cut out of the film, its parts can be fastened with a construction hairdryer. Then it is straightened inside. Secure with fasteners. The area near the pool is equipped with boards or ceramic tiles.

• But this is the easiest way. A more solid option involves the manufacture of formwork, where concrete is poured. Then the surface is finished with tiles. To make the pool comfortable and not to get extra debris, you can build a canopy over it.

If the pool is still planned to be installed in the house, then you need to take into account much more nuances. In the first place, of course, is the strength and tightness of the bowl itself. Further, it is worth taking care of additional equipment, the presence of all engineering communications.

Ventilation is very important. Constant humidity in a room can lead to mold and mildew. Therefore, it should be full-fledged, made like the one used in bathrooms, but only in larger volumes. Some people use dehumidifiers, but this option should not be used on an ongoing basis.

In addition, it is necessary to provide for other nuances: filtration equipment, where a large volume of water is drained.

A very reasonable option is to make a bathing container in a room with a large number of windows, which solves the issue of ventilation from the best side.

Before starting construction or inviting specialists for this purpose, it is imperative to weigh the pros and cons.The costs are considerable, and then the bathing tank must be constantly looked after, even in the house, even on the street. But beautiful examples are always inspiring, and there are many of them.

• Winning Option: a large number of huge windows provide both a good view and natural ventilation. The pool itself is quite long, but not wide, you can swim in this comfortably. The room itself is tastefully furnished, there is nothing superfluous.

• The meandering pool looks extremely attractive. Green plants complement the interior. Large windows in two rows are also justified here.

• The room, decorated with stone and wood, looks very harmonious. The magnificent landscape outside the windows is a great addition. It is certainly a pleasure to spend time in such a pool.

• Compact pool, but minimalistic design looks very dignified. Everything here is thought out to the smallest detail, and on the whole a harmonious picture is formed.
