The bath room has become as important a part as the steam room. When bathing procedures, the effects alternate high temperatures saunas with intervals to restore the body between visits to the steam room. The relaxation room is designed to make these breaks comfortable. When planning to build a bath, you should definitely allocate a room for recovery.

Professional advice will tell you how to choose the right project correctly.

Features:

Bath projects with a relaxation room can be divided into three groups. The first group is the traditional one-story baths. They are built from capital building materials with low thermal conductivity, have a standard set of premises: there is a steam room, a shower room, a relaxation room, a dressing room, and sometimes a terrace.

The recreation room is located on the ground floor next to the steam room and the washroom and combines the functions of a changing room. This is the most convenient option, which allows you to maintain an optimal temperature in all rooms, since the stove evenly heats all adjacent rooms with steam supply to the sauna section.

This layout allows the furnace to be placed in the steam room, which is not always convenient, and in the rest room.

The stoker is at a comfortable temperature, and it is also easier to clean up the litter after kindling. Modern technological furnaces long burning can have a glass screen, which allows you to admire the play of flame while relaxing, creating a pleasant fireplace atmosphere and giving living warmth to the inhabitants of the room. The simple layout, however, includes everything you need for bath procedures, and has great variability in area.

The minimum building area is from 16 sq. meters, which is convenient for small areas, the maximum - at the request of the owner. This option does not require large capital investments due to the energy intensity of the heating.

The second group - projects with a recreation room located in the attic or on the second floor. It will require the construction of a second floor or roof insulation., which will entail additional consumption of materials, the foundation will need to be strengthened to increase the bearing load. This option is convenient for a small building area.

On the ground floor there is a dressing room, a dressing room, a steam room, and a washroom. On the second floor there is a rest room with or without a balcony. You will need to allocate space for a flight of stairs. Beautiful spiral staircase can decorate the interior of the bath.

The third group of projects - with the removal of the recreation room on the terrace. This layout is convenient for summer use. In the cold season, the terrace will need to be glazed and a heating system should be thought out. However, such an arrangement of the rest room gives a lot of scope for the embodiment of design solutions.

A panoramic view of the landscape adds aesthetic pleasure to the minutes of relaxation.

The choice of layout depends on the seasonality of using the bath. For year-round use, the first and second group of projects are suitable. In summer, it is enough to have a rest room under a canopy with flexible glazing made of film or polycarbonate for a budget option.

The availability of free space on the site is of great importance, and if it is not enough, then raising the rest room to the attic will be a good way out. Heating the second floor in the cold season requires an air or water circuit... Installing a long burning oven with a convector on the ground floor can solve this problem.

The placement of the bath on the site must meet the standards fire safety and ease of use. It is advisable to orient the windows of the rest room to an attractive view.... Nice to see beautiful landscapes before your eyes, not a fence or a neighbor's shed.

It is advisable to choose an elevated area for good ventilation and water drainage... The proximity of an artificial or natural reservoir can be an effective addition.

Particular attention is paid to materials for building a bath. Traditionally, preference is given to natural wood in the form of a bar or rounded logs of linden, aspen, cedar.

Pine is more affordable, has a beautiful knotty wood grain pattern and is a popular material for a bath in the country. Its disadvantage is the porous structure of wood, which greatly changes the performance from heating and high humidity, therefore, in a steam room and shower, pine must be sheathed with a lath of hardwood, and for a relaxation room pine with its pleasant smell and aesthetic appearance would be the optimal solution.

Brick is a more expensive material, but it has the best indicators of durability, resistance to temperature changes.

A budget building can also be built from foam blocks. The construction of a bath from blocks can be done with your own hands, even without special knowledge.

The interiors are sheathed with a block house, finished with tiles or natural stone.

The design of the rest room involves adherence to a certain style, depending on the design, finishing materials are selected.

Subtleties of design

Designing a bath yourself is an exciting experience. To do this, you need to stock up on paper, a pencil and a ruler.

For a family of 4-5 people and several guests optimal size a bathhouse 6x6 meters with an attic is considered... On the ground floor there is an entrance hall, a steam room, a shower room with a toilet, a recreation room or a living room. The lounge can be supplemented with a kitchen, and the second floor is reserved for leisure and additional places to accommodate guests or family members. The entrance area of \u200b\u200bthe second floor with an area of \u200b\u200b18 meters can be used as a studio or billiard room. Behind it are two symmetrical bedrooms or rooms for children of 9 sq. meters.

The functionality of the bath is significantly expanded, and for this you do not need to build big house. Compact layout with a bathroom meets the needs of an average family in a country vacation.

With terrace

A sauna with a terrace is a great option for summer meals in the fresh air after sauna procedures. A barbecue grill can be placed on the site in front of the bath or you can enter the grill area into the veranda space. To do this, the size of the terrace must be increased to provide free access to the brazier and to avoid smoke on the dining table and windows.

The minimum distance between the stove and the table must be at least 2 meters. A brazier is placed in a ready-made metal or a stone brazier is built from bricks with a chimney. For such a barbecue, a separate foundation is erected, which is taken into account at the design stage.

The floor of the terrace is better made of paving slabs or sandstone if the terrace is open. A wooden floor is also used for the glazed terrace.... Glazing is made of sliding aluminum or plastic frames. Plastic frames are used for warm glazing. Lightweight aluminum structures keep the weather out, but the temperature inside closed space will only be a couple of degrees higher than outside.

A bathhouse with barbecue and panoramic glazing on the veranda will become a place of attraction for households after a week of work.

With swimming pool

The benefits of bathing procedures will increase manifold when arranging a pool or hot tub in the relaxation room. The pool is located near the shower.

The pool bowl is made of concrete and finished with tiles.

The tiles are selected to match the overall decoration of the rest room. Floral ornament and mosaic will add oriental flavor. For a Russian-style bathhouse, stone, brick and wooden sides are suitable.

In one-storey baths, a complex is often designed from a terrace with a covered font. The hot tub is made of wood and placed on a wooden platform in the fresh air.

In the Japanese version, the heating of the font is equipped with electric heating elements that are built into the body. Combining a relaxation area with a bathhouse, for summer swimming, a ready-made frame or a stationary pool is installed, sun loungers or beach chairs are placed nearby.

The reservoir can have strict geometric outlines or be close to the natural form. In this case, the shore is decorated with pebbles and plants: hosta, astilbe, cereals. The sauna with a pool on the terrace is closed from prying eyes by a hedge from flowering shrubs or vines on supports.

The integrated recreation area requires good lighting as it is used in the evening.

Lighting of the territory with electricity is done if there are communications, a more economical option is lighting with LEDs or solar-powered lanterns.

Small room

Small saunas cannot boast of a large set of premises, therefore, a shower is often located in the relaxation room. In the decoration of premises with such a planning solution, it is necessary to take into account the increased humidity and select the appropriate materials: tiles, plastic panels, natural or artificial stone.

The shower must be fenced off from the recreation area with a glass or plastic partition so that the spray does not interfere with the rest.

Furniture is preferably purchased from moisture resistant materials. The correct selection of finishes will make the use of the shower convenient, and the stay in the rest room will be comfortable.

Design

The rest room design is determined by the chosen decoration style. For finishing the bath, it is better to select natural materials that are resistant to moisture. It is convenient to keep all rooms clean if the space is not cluttered with unnecessary items and the surfaces are easy to clean. The rest room design is determined by the chosen decoration style.

Rural or Russian style

Direction implies application natural wood for wall and floor cladding. The tree is processed special formulations against fungus and cover with oil or wax. The natural wood color gives the interior a light tone, which visually enlarges the space.

It looks interesting to use an unedged board in wall cladding, which is cleaned of bark and polished. The room takes on brutal features.

This inexpensive finish serves as a thermal insulation and aesthetic accent.

The walls can be sheathed with coniferous clapboard, decorated with carvings.

Furniture in such a recreation room is made with your own hands from solid pine or purchased ready-made and complemented with decor from relief images on a tree with a bath theme. Log walls look beautiful as a symbol of traditional Russian culture. For budget options, a block house made of plastic is usedimitating various types of wood.

Scandinavian style

The optimal combination of functionality and simplicity. The decoration is dominated by white color with brown or black structural elements.

The main material is wood and glass. The whole color scheme is calm, a geometric theme can be traced everywhere. The use of natural or artificial stone is appropriate here, a panel made of wood cuts looks original. All furnishings are practical and durable.

Baths in Russia have existed since ancient times. And if in the old days the main task of the bath was hygienic procedures and maintaining cleanliness, then in the modern world it is rather a place of comfortable rest with family and friends, as well as an opportunity to demonstrate their financial solvency, because not every Russian can afford his own bathhouse.

Nowadays, baths are built from materials of exceptionally high quality so that they are comfortable, practical and serve faithfully for many years.

Modern bath Is not just a steam room. This is a whole multifunctional complex, which includes everything that can only be located in a well-maintained house: the steam room itself, a recreation room, a gym or billiard room, a small pool and an open veranda.

Features:

A spacious terrace is, perhaps, the biggest dream of any metropolitan resident who appreciates outdoor recreation in the company of close friends. However, if your cottage is not equipped with a veranda, as is often the case in old private houses and modern typical cottages, then you can compensate for this shortcoming and build a bathhouse in the yard, equipping it with a functional recreation area.

Thanks to this, several tasks can be solved at once:

  • the presence of a bath "without leaving home";
  • the presence of a terrace, which can be used as the most common gazebo, where you can arrange sincere gatherings in a pleasant company;
  • a practical solution to the problem of organizing friendly or family leisure;
  • if necessary, the solution of the ill-fated "housing issue".

Terraces can be equipped with barbecues, grills and barbecues, without which no picnic is complete. There are other pleasant bonuses of such designs - you can fry kebabs and prepare other snacks right on the veranda.

In addition, the joint construction of a bathhouse and a terrace allows maintaining a single architectural style and observing the concept of landscape design throughout the entire site. There is no need to connect separate objects with paths, and this greatly increases the total usable area of \u200b\u200bthe land plot, which can be used for a flower bed, rockery or lawn.

Well, and, of course, combining a bath with a resting place allows you to save on construction works, since at the same time the bath wall simultaneously acts as a veranda wall, and this significantly reduces the consumption of necessary materials.

It should be separately emphasized that it is much more difficult to join a terrace with a bathhouse than to build them at a time.

If the common foundation was not laid even at the stage of foundation construction, then it is better to abandon the idea of \u200b\u200ba bath + terrace "2 in 1", especially if the soil is heaving. In this case, both parts will shrink differently, which leads to cracking of the walls.

If you are determined to combine two functional buildings, then it is worth considering the basic aspects of this technological process.

It is optimal to build a veranda only after the building has finished shrinking, after that they equip the columnar foundation and erect the building perimeter on it.

To reduce the likelihood of distortions, the terrace can simply not be connected to the main wall bath complex, and mask all the gaps that appear with polyurethane foam or using sliding mounts.

It is better to arrange the roof separately for both structural elements., and so that no water is poured between the roof of the bath and the veranda covering, an L-shaped ebb is installed. It is placed 2-3 cm above the terrace and mounted to the log.

Choice of materials

Most builders assure that the bath should be wooden, and the most the best material is coniferous wood. This is a very common misconception. The fact is that the coniferous tree is characterized by increased resinousness, and this resin begins to emit a pungent smell under conditions of high temperature. That is why it is recommended to take coniferous varieties only for the construction of frame boxes, but for the finish interior decoration it is worth giving preference to linden, alder or oak wood.

Keep in mind that pine, juniper and cedar fumes are beneficial for the body only in small amounts. Inhalation of large doses can cause significant harm to the airways - their passages are blocked, and inhalation / exhalation becomes difficult.

It is equally important to determine the typical form of wood material. Many people use a log in the construction of baths, since such buildings can work effectively in any season in a variety of natural and climatic conditions. Other consumers prefer timber. This material is more expensive than logs. However, its operational parameters are also higher: the timber fits faster, but it cracks much less often.

In any case, for the construction of a bath with a terrace, both types of wood are suitable, and the final choice is only a matter of personal preference of the owner of the site.

Well suited for the construction of bath houses gas silicate blocks and foam concrete... It is relative inexpensive materials, which effectively solve all the problems associated with the thermal insulation of the room.

The only thing that you need to pay special attention to is the equipment for highly effective waterproofing of the walls and their high-quality putty. The air in the steam room is humid, therefore walls must be reliably protected from the adverse effects of moisture... Nowadays brick baths they practically do not build, although this material is considered the most optimal for finishing the facade of a country building, it also looks very stylish decorative fences brick verandas.

For those looking for original solutions for your site, you can recommend a round bath with a terrace, built according to the environmentally friendly technology "clay". All that is required is a couple of dump trucks of firewood, hay and big car clay.

Design and layout

At its core, the creation of a project of a bath with a terrace - in general, simple task, however, in practice, it requires the observance and application of a large number of the most different rules and principles.

The steam room area must be at least 10 sq. m, and the ceiling height is not lower than 2 m- with this arrangement of the bath, three people can be in the room at the same time without losing comfort.

For any bath, it is essential to have the possibility of a natural runoff of water, therefore, the subfloor, as a rule, is performed at a certain angle.

When installing a bath complex, it is forbidden to mount cables, lamps and shades; in contact with steam, they can cause an accident. When building such premises, it is worth giving preference to specialized materials.though they are by no means cheap.

Depending on the location of the baths and terraces, there are several types of layouts: open, closed and corner.

Open

A mansion with a large open veranda and equipped steam rooms is not only stylish, but also quite comfortable. On the veranda, at any time, you can equip a small functional gazebo, put a grill or grill for barbecuing and cooking other dishes for which air access is important.

The terrace often acts as a playground for young children, a place for meeting guests and dancing. It is on the veranda that it is so comfortable to read, draw or just relax even in the most inclement weather, since it is usually reliably protected from the wind and sun.

For greater comfort, you can hang curtains, they will protect from the piercing wind and annoying mosquitoes and other stinging insects.

Closed

Today, more and more owners of private houses and cottages prefer the most efficient use of their land plots. Lands, especially those located within the city, in the overwhelming majority of cases are small in size, and the owners want to build in their yard and a bathhouse with a gazebo and other recreational facilities. This is especially important during the landscape planning phase.

If there is no house on the new site, but its construction is planned for several years, then first it is worth building a bath. At first, it can be used not only for its intended purpose, but also play a role summer kitchen, warehouse and storage place for garden tools. Subsequently, a garage can be arranged above the bath and on either side of it, as well as living rooms and a connected veranda can be equipped. This type of construction is called closed.

This also includes projects for free-standing bath structures, to which a covered veranda is attached.

It increases the total area of \u200b\u200bthe recreation space and solves a number of tasks:

  • allows you to use the useful space as an additional place for gatherings with family and friends;
  • use of the terrace for a comfortable rest outside the bath complex;
  • arrangement of a winter garden on the terrace;
  • use for the purpose of an additional area of \u200b\u200bthe utility block for storing household equipment.

As a rule, panoramic glazing is used in closed terraces, and the glass is made transparent or mosaic.

Corner

Corner types of baths with a terrace are quite popular and widespread. This arrangement is considered a modern trend in garden construction. The structure has a unique configuration, takes up little space on the site, fits harmoniously into any landscape design and is combined with other buildings in the yard. Well, in addition, such a bath with a veranda is quite spacious inside due to its shape.

Corner modifications are preferred in situations where it is necessary for the bath to be as close to the cottage as possible, almost close - this may be due to the characteristics of the site or the personal wishes of the owner of the house. Moreover, the terrace, which is adjacent to the main building, can have any shape - square or rectangular.

The corner bath is ergonomic. The use of this type of layout creates conditions for a more logical and beautiful use of the area of \u200b\u200bthe site, and also allows you to put in order the areas adjacent to the house.

A distinctive feature of corner structures is their peculiar shape. IN traditional version the basic functional area of \u200b\u200bthe room (the steam room itself and the shower room) are located perpendicular to the leisure area.

In corner-type buildings, the stove is located in the middle between the steam room and the recreation room, thanks to this, the entire space is heated, which is extremely important in a cold winter time of the year.

Corner structures are optimal for small areas. They are located on one of the corners adjoining territory, take up little space and fit into any landscape composition.

Triangular-shaped buildings always look quite stylish and attract attention with their architectural design. It is the corner baths with verandas that are considered the most acceptable in terms of ergonomics, practicality and functionality.

Examples of finished buildings

The choice of a specific project for the construction of a bath with a terrace most often depends on the parameters of the local area.

  • For instance, classic version - a project of a typical bath with a size of 6x9 m optimal for houses with a fairly large yard. Such a guest recreation area can comfortably fit not only a family, but also a large group of friends. In this case, it is planned to build a joint foundation for both zones. Do not stop at one-story buildings. Often, the structures are made two-story and on the lower one they have a steam room with a veranda, and on the second they equip a room or a billiard room, a toilet.
  • If the bath is attached close to a residential building, then in this situation there will be a project with parameters 5x6 or 6x6 m will look harmonious... The proportions will allow it to fit into the design concept of any type of site. At the same time, the owners not only significantly expand the area of \u200b\u200bthe house, but also get a cozy place where they can meet friends and family in any weather. By the way, this will create additional heating of the walls of the main building, and this is also of great importance.

  • Bathhouse 4 x 4.5 m with terrace- one of the typical projects offered by construction companies. A bath of this layout contains three functional rooms: a recreation area, a steam room with a font. An open veranda is attached to the bathhouse on a separate foundation. Such a project assumes that the entrance to the resting place is made from the street, and this can be extremely uncomfortable, especially in autumn and winter. To eliminate such a defect, you can make the veranda covered or partition off part of the room and remake it under the vestibule.
  • Sauna project 6x4 with a terrace involves the arrangement of a small-sized vestibule, since such a bath can be operated without any alterations in the cold season. The steam room and shower are not combined, but their dimensions are almost identical. This is not always justified in terms of ergonomics. In the shower, as a rule, they wash one by one. Therefore, it would be more correct to make it a little more compact, but for the steam room it is worth taking more space, since there, for the most part, 2-3 people are steamed.

  • Bath drawing 6 x 5 (with a protruding terrace) - another typical version of a bath with a fenced vestibule. With this version of the layout, it occupies a small part of the veranda, therefore, in order not to conceal its functional area, part of the veranda is simply decorated as an extension, that is, it is “pushed” beyond the existing foundation of the building. Sometimes it is enlarged even more, making it in the form of the letter "G". This allows you to form and equip a spacious area for a good rest for a large or small company at any time of the year. At the same time, a small section of the gazebo can be safely taken away for a grill, barbecue or installation of a barbecue.

In the understanding of any Russian, a bath is something more than a place where you can wash. This is rest, communication in a warm family and friendly company. It is no coincidence that it is precisely about the construction of such an object that they first think about when developing suburban area land.

Often, the bathhouse turns out to be a complex complex, which may include a relaxation room, a place for preparing food, and a terrace where people gather after washing.

Features:

Modern baths can be timber, brick, prefabricated frame buildings. There are other options for choosing materials and method of construction.

The bathhouse is often built with a veranda or terrace. The terrace can be equipped with a barbecue oven. But even in the simplest version, such an extension will add comfort when spending a vacation outside the city.

Best options the layouts of a suburban land plot are exactly what are obtained when creating such complexes. Together with the bathhouse, a site appears on the site, closed from the sun and precipitation by a roof.

The terrace can be surrounded by glass walls... This will allow, without literally fencing off from nature, not to experience the effects of adverse weather conditions such as wind and slanting rain.

Combining a bath with a terrace will also significantly simplify the issue of construction. After all, a separate bathhouse and a gazebo not only take up more space on the territory, but also require a much more significant investment of money, effort and time during the construction of each independent object.

Location of the building

For the location of the bath, you need to choose the right place, taking into account a number of factors:

  • It would be more correct that, with an eye to the prevailing wind direction, the bathhouse was the last in the line of buildings. If it suddenly lights up, in this case there will be a high probability that the fire will not spread to other buildings.
  • If the bathhouse and the residential building are built as separate objects, the distance between them must be at least eight meters. The reasons are the same as in the previous case.
  • It is advisable to place the bathhouse away from the road. Even according to the requirements of the Land Code, this distance should not be less than five meters.

The terrace by its design is an extension to the main building. In addition to the roof, combined with the bath, it can be protected from the wind to a certain extent, since it has one common wall with the main building and conditional partitions around the perimeter.

A capital floor is arranged near the summer terrace... It can be made of wood, sometimes it is laid out with tiles or some other finishing materials... Furniture on this site includes benches, chairs, rocking chairs, and a dining table.

The terrace can be large or small. With a reasonable approach, it can always be made as convenient and functional as possible.

Selection of materials for construction

Wood is a material traditionally used for the construction of baths. A log frame is usually folded from it. The tree has many advantages:

  • it retains heat well - no need to think about complementary measures for insulation;
  • the wooden structure has a special smell and atmosphere, which are typical for a traditional Russian bath;
  • since the tree breathes, the humidity inside the bath room is regulated;
  • from this material you can create buildings of a wide variety of shapes, embodying original architectural solutions;
  • there is no doubt about environmental friendliness, since the tree is safe for humans, and in a bath, it creates an additional healing effect.

Disadvantage wooden bath there may be only the susceptibility of this material to mold, rotting, and also a significant likelihood of fire in case of careless handling of fire. In a brick bath fire hazard much less... But the room itself takes longer to warm up, which means that more firewood will have to be spent in order to wash and steam.

Brick structures for this purpose should have excellent ventilation., since the condensate that appears during operation becomes the cause of the appearance and spread of the fungus.

At the same time, one cannot fail to note the environmental friendliness of bricks and the fact that a building of any configuration can be built from it. The long service life of such baths is also not the last argument in favor of choosing a brick building. Its construction can be cheaper than wooden... Moreover, there is no need for special finishing. Brick looks good on its own.

Sometimes it makes sense not to focus on traditional materials, but to choose something more modern for the bath complex. For example, gas silicate blocks. Gas silicate belongs to the category of products modern technologies... He has his own advantages, forcing to make a choice in his favor when it comes to building a bath.

They differ:

  • reliability;
  • long service life;
  • environmental safety;
  • fire resistance;
  • good thermal insulation properties;
  • those that do not rot;
  • ease of installation;
  • small price.

Important question during the construction of a bath - the device of the foundation. More often than others, a strip foundation is made for such a structure using reinforced concrete, rubble or brick.

For the screw foundation, special piles are used, on which the structure will rest. The columnar foundation is one of the most economical. With the help of pillars, you can arrange a base for small bath with a terrace.

Design

In order to get exactly what you need when designing a bath, you need to keep in mind the following:

  • for how many people a washing complex with an open area for recreation should be designed for;
  • whether it will be used only in summer or can it also be used in winter;
  • what layout will be most suitable;
  • what material to build it from;
  • what is the acceptable construction price.

If the bath is to be used only in warm weather, you don't have to think too much about warming the dressing room. If the bathhouse is operated all year round, the location of the entrance to it becomes especially important.

Competent planning allows you to reduce construction costs. So, if you make a comfortable outdoor barbecue area that can easily accommodate many people, the guest room may not be needed.

Sometimes it is enough to attach a terrace to existing bathif it's new enough. If the bathhouse is of an old building, it is better to place a recreation area under the roof between the washing building and the house. It is important to choose a place for it so as not to disrupt the existing architectural and stylistic idea.

The bath area can be different - from small to impressive, for example, 6x4, 3 by 9 meters and so on. On a large plot there is a place for a construction measuring 6 by 9 meters. It is suitable for a large family and a large company. Such a space will easily accommodate not only a steam room, a washing room, but also a kitchen, a bathroom, a recreation room, a billiard room, and so on. In this case, the bath can be two-story. On the second floor, it makes sense to make a spacious guest room... The terrace can be equipped with a stove that looks like a fireplace.

Such a health complex can be made, for example, from a rounded log. Variations in the layout are possible. For example, if you arrange a living room on the ground floor, separating it from the terrace with a glass wall, there will always be a lot of light in this room, and the terrace itself will look larger. When the weather changes, it will be convenient for guests to move from the open area to the living room and back.

Some projects of saunas with mansards provide for an external staircase to the second floor from the terrace side. Thus, you can win additional space in the house itself. Although many may find such a design decision controversial.

It is sometimes easier to attach a bathhouse to an existing house, including a garage. In this case, an extension of 5x6 meters with a terrace will be enough.... The functionality of housing will expand, and in the heat it will be possible to spend time in the fresh air in a place protected from the sun.

You can take on board the project of a corner bath with a terrace. With this approach to planning, it can take up little space on the site, while remaining roomy inside. Such the project will be especially interesting when the bathhouse is placed very close to a residential building... There are also projects for corner terraces that make sense to apply in this case.

If you get down to business thoroughly, you can swing at a real bath cottage. In addition to the bath, it can carry the functions of a wide variety of recreation. Here you can select rooms for guests, a playground for children, dancing and a barbecue. In the summer, such a complex makes it possible to live in the fresh air most of the time.

When developing a bath project, you need to take into account a number of nuances associated with the location and arrangement of the terrace. A place for it must be allocated taking into account the direction of the wind. The bath building should obscure the site, and at the same time the hearth, so that vacationers definitely do not have to breathe smoke.

If the task of the terrace is to shelter people from the hot sun, it should not be built on the south side.... This will be good only if the owners love to sunbathe.

Of course, one cannot ignore the surrounding landscape. It would be odd to have a terrace overlooking an outside toilet or fence. It is much more pleasant to see a forest, river or lake from this site. From a planning point of view, the terrace can be located frontally, that is, along the facade of the main building, from the side, as well as at an angle and along the entire perimeter of the bath.

For a small company, an area of \u200b\u200b7-8 square meters will be enough. But if the territory allows, it is better to make it at least 9-10 squares. In this case, among other things, a pair of sun loungers or armchairs will be quietly accommodated here. And a person who is busy preparing kebabs will have enough space to turn around. In this case, the stove heat will not interfere with others.

The floor is easiest to cover wooden planks... Although paving slabs will do too. On large terraces, natural stone is used for such coverage.

There are a lot of typical projects of baths with terraces. Architectural bureaus, when creating options for these objects, take into account the requirements for the use of certain building materials and installation methods. Although no one will forbid to carry out an individual project.

Design options

For a pleasant pastime in the sauna with a terrace, you should carefully approach the design of the interior and open area. Often from the inside, the room is sheathed with clapboard of a certain tone. Better to choose soft shades that will tune in to relaxation.

It is necessary to make sure that there are no large protrusions and sharp corners in the rooms.... Even if there is enough space in the washroom, steam room or rest room, a person in a relaxed state can unsuccessfully touch the ledge and be injured. For the same reason care must be taken that the floors are not slippery.

It is better to use natural materials for furnishing the interior.... Modern ones, such as plastic, are “not on friendly terms” with the bath, as they can melt or start to release unpleasant odors... Even if they are not poisonous, the holiday experience will be spoiled.

In the bath, you need to provide all the necessary accessories: brooms, hats, aromatic oils, shampoos, soap, washcloths. It is good to select a convenient shelf for them, which is always easy to reach.

For lighting, it is better not to use bright lamps that do not allow you to tune in to relaxation. Better to let the light be yellow and soft.

The design of the open area is also of great importance. It can have thick curtains that block the terrace space from the hot sun or cold. Sliding elements made of glass or polycarbonate can be used here... Thanks to this, the terrace can be used almost all year round.

An important part is the oven on the terrace. The overall impression of a bath with a terrace largely depends on its device and design. A separate foundation is laid for the barbecue. The furnace is made of refractory bricks on a high base... During its construction, it is better to provide a niche for storing a small supply of firewood.

As for the formation of smoke, a separate chimney with a high pipe is created for its removal, so that bad smell and the fumes did not spread over the terrace and the bath.

In modern conditions, the concept of a "Russian bath" has expanded from a common place for ablution into a complex with a wide range of functions, which includes various types of relaxation. In this regard, projects of baths with a terrace and a barbecue have become in demand (photos are presented on the page).

This solution allows you to significantly save space in the backyard or summer cottage area. A bathhouse with a terrace under one roof is being implemented in different projects, which ultimately allows you to get a comfortable outdoor recreation area where you can enjoy food, drinks and socializing.

The relevance of the location of the bath complex

Open-type annexes adjacent to the main building are usually called a terrace. This site has the following characteristics:

  • it has reliable roofprotecting from possible precipitation;
  • to a certain extent protected from the wind from some directions;
  • the space has a solid wood or tile floor;
  • on this territory there is furniture in the form of benches, chairs, rocking chairs, dining tables.

Popular projects for a bath with an attic and a terrace include an open fire cooking area:

  • open barbecue;
  • b-B-Q;
  • stationary stone oven, etc.

The fencing of this site is in most cases used in decorative form and can be about 1 meter high from floor level or cover the space from floor to ceiling rare decorative lattice with large gaps.

Individual features of projects

Various architectural firms offer many options for projects of a bath with a terrace. Each of them is based on certain requirements regarding the materials used, location and installation methods. This is due to the fact that there are projects of 6x4 baths with a terrace or a project of 6x6 baths with a terrace require a certain allocated area for them.

A small porch with three steps is provided to enter the terrace. The playground itself is quite spacious. And it will easily accommodate an oven with a barbecue or a barbecue area

Even several guests can comfortably settle in such a territory. In this case, certain nuances of the location of the open extension are taken into account:

  • The project of a bathhouse with a large terrace and barbecue may involve the location of an open area along the largest wall of the building or at the end of the building next to the exit from it.

  • In some cases, in small areas, the space of the dressing room is sacrificed in the projects of a bath with a relaxation room on the second floor and a terrace next to the building. This approach will also save not only space, but also money for the materials used.
  • Original decorative fence will mark the perimeter of a recreation area under a canopy in projects of baths with a large terrace.
  • When drawing up a plan of the territory with the installation of a stove or barbecue, it is necessary to provide for a reliable chimney so that combustion products do not create discomfort on the site.
  • For the project of a corner bath with a terrace, the barbecue area is allocated a far corner, and the smoke is removed through a pipe led out of the roof.

Terrace decoration

Projects frame baths with a terrace are often divided into two types according to the method of decorating an open area:

  • fully open terrace area;
  • the presence of dense hinged screens made of fabric;
  • the use of sliding structures using glass or transparent polycarbonate.

The envisaged possibility in the project of one-story baths with a terrace to hermetically close and open the space with the help of window modules allows using this zone almost all year round.

Removable elements made of polycarbonate or glass can be removed in the pantry during the summer to open up the space in front of the rest on the terrace.

Using an open oven or barbecue

In those projects of a bath with a kitchen and a terrace, where it is supposed to use a barbecue or barbecue, it is necessary to take into account the special conditions of the cooking zones on an open fire.

  • Installation stationary oven often held away from the main resting place.
  • It is advisable to provide shelter for the cooking area from possible bad weather in the form of rainfall or wind.
  • Mobile braziers should be located in a fireproof place on a flat surface.
  • Individual decoration of the stove will emphasize the peculiarity of the terrace design.
  • In cool weather, the stationary oven becomes additional source heat for vacationers in the open summer area.

Popular projects

If there is sufficient space on the site, it is possible to implement projects of baths made of rounded logs with a terrace in the form of a small health complex. Such a site will be enough for almost any company from two or three families.

The territory accommodates not only a sauna with a steam room, but also a relaxation room. There is a terrace along the longitudinal wall. It is open and includes a barbecue oven. This project of a bathhouse with a terrace assumes the presence of two entrances to the site: from the back and front sides.

In order to effectively organize the adjoining space and combine the spa area with the relaxation and entertainment area, it is convenient to combine the open annexes to the house with the main building. There are many possibilities for creating such multifunctional objects, for example, projects of baths with a terrace and barbecue, photos of various interesting solutions talk about the increasing demand for such a solution.

Advantages of combining a sauna with a terrace and a barbecue

Combining several objects in one room helps:

  • create maximum comfort;
  • correctly zoning the site, dividing the space into a recreation area and an area for agricultural plantings;
  • simplify the care of the site;
  • reduce construction and operating costs in the future.

Traditionally, the terrace is an open or glazed area combined with a sauna common roof and foundation. The size of the terrace can be different, it all depends on the size of the plot, the hospitality of the owners and the size of the family, but it is optimally equal to 8-10 sq. M.

Combining a spa area, including a bath or sauna, and sometimes a small plunge pool with a terrace, has a number of benefits:

  • Saving space, the recreation room can be located on the terrace;
  • Placement of additional devices, such as a barbecue oven or open barbecue;
  • Simplification of communications connection. For example, for lighting, it is enough to lay one power cable with a common distribution board.

Also, a sauna with a barbecue terrace can partially function as a summer kitchen. During the rest, there will be an opportunity to both steam up and have a small picnic, you do not need to go far from building to building, everything will be at hand.

Content of the project for the device of a bath with a terrace

Before starting construction, you should familiarize yourself with the permits Russian Federation for the construction of such structures.

According to the provision of Part 17 of Article 51 of the Urban Planning Code of the Russian Federation, the construction of a bath, as an auxiliary construction, does not require a special permit. But in order to secure property rights, and in accordance with Art. 25.3 of the Law "On State Registration of Rights to Real Estate and Transactions with It", an object such as a bathhouse should be registered. For this, there is a simplified procedure for filing an application with ROSREESTR and paying a state fee.

Such a step will protect against possible penalties for unrest in the future.

In addition, you need to remember that the location of the bathhouse relative to other buildings on your site or buildings on neighboring sites is regulated by SNiP 30-02-97 "Planning and development of territories of gardening associations of citizens, buildings and structures" and should not be less than 8 m.

Connection to the collective sewage system for outflow wastewater, connection to power grids is impossible without coordination with local utilities and energy companies by obtaining and approving Specifications (TU.)

The project of a bath with a terrace and a barbecue should contain:

  1. Architectural and construction part. This section of the project includes views of all facades, a floor plan and a section. It is at this stage that the future interior and exterior is determined, and also described:
  • arrangement of foundations;
  • erection of external walls and roofing;
  • exterior and interior decoration.
  1. The engineering part. This section of the project includes schemes for laying engineering networks:
  • electricity and water supply;
  • device of waste water and sewerage.

An estimate with the cost of work is attached to the project. Design prices usually start at $ 500. You can use numerous projects on the Internet, but more often than not they do not contain the most important parts, for the construction of the foundation or the laying of networks. This is due to the fact that foundation work and connection to engineering networks require individually, taking into account the characteristics of the site.

Even if the construction of a bathhouse on the site is carried out independently, in order to foresee everything in advance necessary work and materials, as well as estimate the cost, such a project must be done at least in a draft version.


Smoke removal should be foreseen in advance, depending on which boiler is chosen for the bath, as well as the issue of exhausting smoke for the barbecue oven. The equipment manufacturer's manual usually contains the necessary requirements for the height of the chimney.

Since the barbecue is located in an open or well-ventilated area, there is no need to equip a classic high chimney. The pipe can be small size, but you should pay attention to the direction of the wind, which is usual for the site, so that the smoke does not carry back into the room. For an open barbecue or barbecue, it is advisable to organize a protective zone so that coals and sparks do not spoil the floorboards. Convenient if you have a small woodpile or a box for storing coal.

Sauna projects with a terrace and barbecue. Material selection and typical solutions

One of the most common materials for building a bath is wooden boards, timber or rounded log. This material "breathes", is environmentally friendly and keeps warm well. The interior using natural wood creates a unique atmosphere of comfort and relaxation. But a wooden structure will require mandatory protection from excess moisture inside and the formation of mold as a result. Impregnation is also desirable wooden structures fire retardants to protect against fire.

No less in demand for the construction of baths and bricks, shell rock or any other a natural stone... Especially if it is not a traditional bath or sauna, but a hamam or a Roman bath with other temperature regimes. A stone building has many advantages:

  • No significant fire prevention measures are required;
  • More possibilities for interior solutions;
  • Exposure to moisture does not lead to the rapid spread of mold and destruction.

The disadvantage is:

  • Longer time to reach the temperature required for the bath;
  • Higher fuel consumption, depending on the selected boiler system.


Table 1. Temperature conditions depending on the type of bath


Regardless of the material chosen, a ventilation system must be carefully considered to remove condensate, especially if the oven is equipped with a light steam generator and a smoke exhaust system.

For example, a heater-stove, which is obligatory for a bath, requires a competent chimney device, an incorrectly connected pipe, with a discharge through combustible materials or excessively insulated, can lead to a fire.


The heater stove can be made of brick with your own hands with a brick chimney. When performing these works, it should be borne in mind that due to the fact that the lower part of the stove is heated, the foundation of the bath and the stove must be separate.

It should also be noted that:

  • The foundation of the furnace must have a depth below the level of freezing of the soil by at least 0.7 m;
  • The size of the foundation should be at least half a brick larger than the cross-section of the furnace.

The construction of any building, including a bath, begins with pouring the foundation. In the case of the construction of a bathhouse with a terrace and a barbecue, there is an important point that you should definitely pay attention to. It is necessary to lay a different foundation under the terrace and the building of the bath itself, because the bath is heavier than the terrace. For a large bath or a brick or foam concrete bath, a strip foundation is required, and a pile foundation is also suitable for a small bath. Suitable for an ordinary wooden deck pile foundation... If the terrace is located on a difficult ground, prone to landslides or freezing, for greater reliability it is better to use screw piles... Since the structure of the bath is heavier than the terrace, the soil under the bath will sink faster than under the terrace, and this can eventually lead to damage to the entire building. To avoid such an imbalance, the foundations must be separated with a layer of insulation.


Sauna with barbecue terrace. Examples of cost-effective solutions

The most popular option for organizing a recreation area for a small area is a bathhouse, which includes:

  • Steam room with a stove and benches for 3-5 places;
  • Relaxation area with table and seats to relax


It is desirable to provide a small undressing room, it can also combine the functions of an auxiliary room for storing bath equipment, towels and the like.

It is ideal to provide for a small bathroom with a shower, but most often the site's capabilities do not allow this. The most successful layouts can be found in the photo, below, or the video in the article.

If the territory allows for the most organic organization of the recreation space, a project of a corner bath with a terrace and a barbecue can be taken as a base. This layout allows for a multifaceted use of space, allowing you to simultaneously organize recreation for companies of different ages. For example, while adults are relaxing in the sauna, a children's company can gather on the second terrace. Or the steam room may have two exits to the recreation room and to the barbecue area.

Successful layout options for a corner bath and interesting option exterior decoration can be seen in the photo below.
