Ready townhouse for 2 families. Projects and layout of townhouses for several families

Townhouses are called country houses for several owners, and their popularity has recently become more and more. The project of the townhouse involves the construction of common walls, through which several private buildings are connected. Each of the plots has its own entrance, land, garage and so on.

That is, in fact, the owners live in their own, with the only difference being that right next to them are neighbors. Similarly, now many villages are being built up everywhere in the suburbs of large megacities.

The construction of townhouses originates in England, where this type of development was positioned as economical, however, after some time, the project of a townhouse was appreciated in many countries, including in our country.

After adaptation in each of the countries, the projects acquired national features of the interior and appearance that are inherent in the regions. An example of this is the different purpose of townhouses in different countries, for example, in foggy Albion, such dwellings are popular among families with large incomes, and in Europe - among residents of middle incomes.


Variant of the project of a three-story townhouse

As a rule, each section is about 150 square meters in area, and the size of the adjacent land is not more than a few hundred square meters. A mandatory attribute of townhouses imposed on us from Western films is an evenly cut lawn throughout the site. Behind the house there is often a sitting area and a barbecue area.

Naturally, the domestic townhouse after assimilation became not like its western counterparts. Our vast country allows us to build houses with an area much larger than 150 square meters, and even several hundred our compatriots regard it as something toy: how can it be without a garden?

As for the price for townhouses in our country, it is about the amount of 600 thousand dollars. It all depends on the remoteness of the site from the city, respectively, you can find townhouses that double this price. However, for most residents of our country are considered more acceptable at home economy class.

Change did not pass by. Also, the appearance has undergone changes, and unlike Western houses, ours look more attractive, and more design is given to them.

  Townhouse Project

Consider some of the benefits of townhouses compared to private homes.



Of course, living in a townhouse requires observing some of the laws of a hostel, just like in apartment buildings in a city. Therefore, those who want to move away from civilization and the bustle of the city need to think about building their own house: townhouses (literally - city houses) are a cross between a city apartment and a private building.

  Economy class townhouse project

Such houses on the real estate market are considered very inexpensive analogues of urban apartments, which attracts future owners, because for the same price that the apartment costs, you can get your own suburban housing, and even with the surrounding territory.

Layout of all floors of a townhouse economy class

However, due to the fact that most of the townhouses are significantly distant from the city, few consider them as the main place of residence.
  Schemes of typical townhouses can be easily found on the Internet, and their main concept is to save on building materials and the cost of land.

  Layout of a townhouse on two hosts

The typical layout of a townhouse for several families has everything you need for a comfortable life in the country. Both parts of the townhouse are mirror images of each other, with a similarly sized living area.

The layout of the townhouse can be changed at the request of the customer at the construction stage, but basically it does not fundamentally change: on the ground floor -, corridor, hall, bathroom and. involves the presence of living rooms, nurseries and bedrooms.

Layout of the second floor of a townhouse on two hosts

Based on the project, a toilet can also be provided on the top floor. Often, townhouses are used by large families, where one half is inhabited, for example, by the older generation, and children and grandchildren are located in the neighborhood.

This option contributes to the fact that the family lives in almost the same place, and there is an opportunity to meet and help each other more often.

On the other hand, all the problems of fathers and children are excluded, because each family member has his own place, and there are simply no reasons for disputes on household grounds. In addition, it is much more pleasant to realize that you are not sharing your land with anyone, but with your own people, and you should not wait for a dirty trick.

  Layout of a three-house townhouse

Such townhouses for three hosts in terms of internal free space are very spacious. Like the previous type, on the ground floor there is a hall, as well as utility and technological rooms.


Detailed layout and design of a three-house townhouse

Very popular at the present time, thereby saving living space. As a rule, each of the sections has its own exit to the terrace, from which the properties are perfectly visible. The second floor includes a bedroom, a nursery and a standard.

  Layout of a four-house townhouse

Such houses for four families are distinguished by a large glazing area, as well as a small number of house partitions. Townhouses for four families are often built in villages with well-designed infrastructure, where you can easily find educational institutions, grocery and other stores, as well as their own utilities.

In such a place you can settle down for permanent residence and travel to the city only for work or business. The advantages over ordinary private cottages are obvious, and in the modern world such options are increasingly attracting buyers.

  The construction of townhouses is an industry that is gaining popularity in private construction, which has excellent prospects. Confirmation of this is the government’s interest in low-rise urban development. Being equivalent analogues of city apartments, town houses attract an increasing target audience.

This housing allows you to save at the expense of one wall, common to all the territory and a single communications wiring. Typically, a house has two or three floors, which also allows you to save on the construction of the roof. Moreover, such a building would be a reasonable compromise between the mansion and the apartment building. Projects of townhouses for 4 families provide all the advantages of their own cottage - no neighbors, a separate entrance and their own land, without losing the advantages of an apartment - in particular, the low cost per square meter.

As a rule, the construction of a blocked building is chosen by those who are not attracted to living conditions in an ordinary apartment, but at the same time a country cottage cannot afford it. Projects of townhouses are typical. By purchasing such documentation, you are already saving, as you do this by chipping with one or more families. The land under the house will also be cheaper for you, since you are buying one large plot that will be divided into everyone and everyone will have the opportunity to organize their own small garden or flower garden, put up a gazebo or barbecue.

Features of designing blocked houses

As a rule, these buildings are created in a very concise and functional style. The number of apartments in such houses varies. Widespread as a project of townhouses for 2 families, and buildings designed to accommodate more families. Usually all the blocks in the house are the same or have a mirror arrangement. When ordering an individual architectural project for such a house, it’s worth paying attention to common areas and assessing how much such a neighborhood will suit you.

If the presented documentation does not completely suit you, you can make some changes to the projects of townhouses for 4 families (as well as others). For example, if this is required by your region of residence or soil features of this particular site. However, significant adjustments will require serious work of architects and, most likely, the company whose services you use will charge a certain fee for this work.

One of the reasons for the indisputable popularity of townhouses in the suburban housing market is the freedom to choose a project, including the internal layout. This is manifested in the following features:

  • a variety of projects, thanks to which you can choose the option suitable for any family, as well as for one person;
  • really free layout as opposed to the “free layout” of apartments in high-rise buildings, very limited by SNiPs on high-rise buildings and the layout of rooms for neighbors from below;
  • there is a lot of design imagination in the design of rooms, because, unlike apartments, in townhouses both the area is larger and the ceilings are higher, and, again, you can choose a project suitable for your design plan (for example, for a Zen or loft style project with large panoramic windows).


You can choose both on the sites of developers (where plots with a contract are sold or finished real estate usually lay out plans and other project elements), and among projects in the public domain on specialized sites.

Projects of townhouses with a garage


A plot of land for a townhouse often does not allow you to build a garage or organize a parking space. You can park your car on the street in the warm season, but in winter this is not the best option. An excellent solution is a project with a garage on the ground floor or a garage and a closed parking space.

Projects of townhouses for 2 families





For families in kinship (children and parents; brothers, sisters) or friendships, the duplex option (or, in Russian, a two-owner house) is a very convenient option, which is a semi-detached house of two apartments separated by a common wall. In it one can live apart from each other and at the same time side by side; independently solve family problems and call for help from neighbors if necessary. Therefore, duplexes are one of the popular options on the sites of free-projects of townhouses.

Projects of townhouses for 4 families

An interesting variant of the quad house. The layout, in which each house has two warm walls, will help save on heating. In contrast to the standard semi-detached house, consisting of apartments lined up in a line, the quad house allows you to plan apartments and courtyards in such a way as not to interfere with each other and not be constantly in front of the neighbors. Below are the layouts of quad-houses in the village of "Dream"








One-storey and multi-storey townhouses (projects)

The standard of a townhouse in the suburbs can be called a two-story project.

However, there are very popular solutions for 3-to 4-story townhouses (at least prestigious, with a huge area for townhouses, lanehouses in Ilyinsky). I must admit that developers still save on this format of housing, therefore, the multi-storey apartment is achieved by creating a basement and / or attic floors, which do not entail the need to strengthen the foundation and other structures.

One-story townhouses are quite rare. Typically, these are inexpensive lightweight structures in the economy segment, erected from timber or according to frame technology.




Projects of townhouses from timber

In favor of the use of timber for the construction of a townhouse, its low price and environmental friendliness, as well as high heat saving indicators, which are very important in the Moscow region, speak. However, there is a negative side
on. In houses made of timber, the audibility is very good, therefore, living in such a townhouse, you will be aware of all the neighbors' secrets (and vice versa - the neighbors are aware of yours).






A project of a townhouse with a gallery on the ground floor dividing the apartments will help to cope with this problem.

Projects of aerated concrete townhouses

This is one of the most popular materials for the construction of walls of townhouses: it is inexpensive, excellent in operation, and durable. Aerated concrete walls allow the use of a wide variety of exterior finishes (wood, plaster, wild stone, clinker bricks or tiles, etc.), giving the townhouse the appearance that is required.






Other examples of townhouses:

Projects of townhouses for 4 families can not only solve everyday problems, but also save the family budget. The benefits are already noticeable during the construction of such a house. Firstly, they are cheaper than two separate duplexes due to common details: foundation, roofing, engineering systems. At the same time, the cost of finishing and insulation of the facade is reduced by almost a quarter. The land is also acquired common.

Payment for the development of working documentation of a townhouse, the services of a construction company and the cost of materials are also shared between the owners. Similarly, the costs of maintaining the home are further distributed.

Convenience at operation

By choosing a townhouse project for 4 families, you will also reduce the cost of housing maintenance. And not just because you share them with your neighbors. By reducing the area of \u200b\u200bthe external walls, the building receives improved thermal insulation, which means lower utility bills. In addition, the adjacent territory will be easier to equip and cheaper to maintain in order.

Time costs are also reduced, because building one house is much faster than two separate buildings. Being an intermediate option between urban housing and a private house, houses for 4 families allow you to combine the advantage of suburban life with urban amenities.

Projects of houses for 4 families of economy class

The most popular among homeowners are house designs for 4 families of the economy option. As a rule, these are typical buildings of one or two floors, with a symmetrical layout relative to an adjacent wall. However, an individual arrangement of rooms and partitions is also possible.

The houses for 4 families, consisting of one floor, traditionally have the following rooms: entrance hall, kitchen (dining room), living room, several bedrooms and bathrooms. In this case, the personal rooms of the owners are located closer to the rear of the building. The facade of the building overlooks the dining room, living room and hall.

Projects of houses for 4 families, consisting of two floors, combine the rooms as follows: on the 1st floor there is a living room, a dining room, an entrance hall, a guest room and a bathroom. Upstairs are the bedrooms of the owners of the house, an office and another bathroom.

The degree of autonomy of each segment may be different. Projects of houses for 4 families can include separate entrances, attics or garages. But it is possible to implement the option with common areas: parking or garage for 2 parking spaces, terrace or pool.

Modern projects of economy class townhouses offer very comfortable accommodation, which at the same time will allow you to get personal space and maintain the atmosphere of a friendly large family or a friendly neighborhood.

Townhouse projects - urban housing in the countryside

A townhouse is a low-rise house designed for several families. Each apartment has a separate entrance from the street, sometimes a garage and always a small piece of land. It turns out such a hybrid of an apartment and a country house. The internal space of the townhouse is organized in such a way that the first floor is a day zone, consisting of a hall, a living room, a kitchen and a dining room, and on top is a night zone - sleeping rooms for family members, a bathroom and a spacious wardrobe.

Pros of a townhouse project

The attractiveness of townhouses for developers is determined by several factors.

  • Living in a town house will become attractive for those who value comfort and proximity to nature and who are tired of life in a big noisy city.
  • Another plus is that each owner relies on a small but own piece of land. Only 40-60 m 2, but there is a courtyard with a flower bed.
  • But the main advantage is the relatively low price with a sufficiently large area of \u200b\u200bhousing. The financial benefit is due to the fact that the value of the land is divided into several families. And secondly, the cost of installing communications is significantly reduced. And here the costs are divided between several apartment owners.
  • A square meter of living space in a townhouse costs significantly less than in a city apartment or in a separate cottage.

Cons of townhouse projects

It is worth saying that at least there are cons, but there are not so many of them.

  • The most unpleasant thing that awaits the residents of the townhouse is an imperfect infrastructure. If the issue with shops is solved simply, then in order to visit the cinema or restaurant you will have to travel to the city.
  • Definitely, 30-40% compared with a city apartment, will increase the cost of a communal apartment. Our company is trying to develop its projects in such a way as to minimize this factor, but it still needs to be taken into account.
  • A small plot of land is undoubtedly a drawback.
  • Living in a town house with neighbors does not imply complete privacy. But on the other hand, this is not a huge house in an urban sleeping area.
  • Life outside the city implies an increase in transport costs. It is also worth adding the loss of time in traffic jams, which are inevitable at the entrance-exit from the city.
