Wooden house – Common room
FACILITY DESIGN
The first phase of designing an object is to determine the requirements, what we put on the building in terms of its equipment and size of individual rooms. If we intend to build e.g.. summer house, you have to decide, how many bedrooms should there be in it, whether the kitchen should be separate or whether a "corner” kitchen in the living room, what are our plans for the bathroom, w.c. and other additional rooms, like a possible woodcutter, garage, veranda, workshop etc.. It must be remembered here, that in the case of residential summer facilities, built for an individual user, there are regulations limiting the usable floor area of the facility and that the construction system presented above does not include two-story buildings, therefore, the usable area in this case will be equal to the built-up area. This restriction does not apply to other types of objects, used collectively (common rooms, cloakrooms, team recreational facilities).
When starting the detailed design, make sure, how wide can the boards be made of the materials available to us, do we need to use width 90 cm, or can we get a wider width – do 120 cm. Then we draw the so-called. modular mesh (best to scale 1:50), the side of the square will have a length equal to the width of the plate. The modular grid facilitates the arrangement of individual rooms in the horizontal plane. When designing the facility, one should not forget about its location on the ground. There is a general rule, that the bedrooms should be facing east, living quarters to the south, west kitchen, bathrooms, cloakrooms, corridors, pantries etc.. - to the north. But because you also have to take the view into account, what we will see from the window of the living room or from the porch, in practice, the above-mentioned principle is often overlooked.
In order to facilitate the design, a few examples of interior layout options are given below, designed by Eng. arch. V. Zdenek. The examples provided are for objects of width 4,80 i 6,0 m, which is important, that the roof trusses were calculated and dimensioned according to these widths. If we choose such a solution, that the object will be wider than the example, it is then necessary to perform static calculations and truss drawings by an authorized specialist. In practice, of course, this can only happen in the case of large facilities intended for collective use.
The changing rooms of the sports club: 1 – hol, 2 – common room, 3 -sports equipment magazine, 4 – w.c. female, 5 -w.c. male, 6 – men's room, 7 – showers, 8 – female cloakroom, 9 – corridor.
It is desirable, that a wide range of co-users should be included in the design of the facility and interior layout, i.e.. in the case of single-family houses – all family members, and in the case of facilities intended for collective purposes – all team members. If we provide ourselves with the help of a qualified architect, it should not be made a mistake in this regard. Before starting construction works, it is necessary to present them to the appropriate local construction department of the municipal or municipal office – a design signed by an authorized designer.
Residential pavilion of Fr. 12 + 2 beds: 1 – hol, 2 – kitchen, 3 – rooms (2+1 bed), 4 -2-bed room, 5 – accommodation room (3 half beds), 6 – dining room, 7 – w.c., 8 – washrooms, 9 – corridor.
We will also need experts in the further design stage, i.e.. when solving the sewage system, plumbing, heating and electrical installation – where they are anticipated. Therefore, the designs of these installations are not considered here.
After making a decision on the functional solutions of the interior, attention should be paid to the external appearance of the designed object.

It is at this stage of design that our cooperation with an experienced architect is important; his opinion, e.g. in terms of the arrangement of windows and doors, the location of the object on the plot, it may also have an impact on the adopted solution. When all these necessary factors are included in the final design, you must apply for an official permit to build the facility ” and start preparations related to the execution of the elements of the facility and the construction itself.
