“The cottage is the golden mean between an apartment and a large private house - enough space for comfort, but not for excessive maintenance”

Starting the construction of a cottage - fundamental decisions

The ideal plot for the cottage should be rectangular in shape with a ratio of 1:1.5 or 1:2. A slight slope to the south is desirable - this will provide natural lighting and drainage. For a cottage of 150-200 square meters, a plot of 800-1200 square meters is optimal.

Cottage design - function and aesthetics

The architecture of the cottage should be harmonious and proportional. A classic cottage implies a symmetrical facade, a gable roof with a slope of 30-40 degrees, an indispensable terrace or veranda. Modern Georgian cottages often include open balconies and loggias, reflecting our traditional architecture.

Elithome architects use the principle of zoning when designing a cottage:

  • Day zone(40-45% of the area) - living room, kitchen, dining room
  • Night zone(35-40%) - bedrooms, wardrobe
  • Technical zone(15-20%) - boiler, laundry, pantry

The foundation for the cottage - the basis of reliability

Types of foundations for the cottage

The relatively light weight of the cottage (150-200 tons) gives flexibility in the choice of the type of foundation. Elithome's recommendations:

Ribbon monolithic foundation- A universal solution for the cottage. Depth 80-120 cm, width 40-60 cm. Cost with installation - 180-220 GEL per cubic meter. For a cottage of 180 square meters, 45-55 cubic meters of concrete will be required.

Tile-foundation- Recommended for problem soils. Thickness 30-40 cm, double reinforcement. Cost - 120-150 GEL per square meter. The advantage for the cottage is that the tile at the same time serves as the floor of the first floor.

Boiled shrimps with roastwork- Ideal for cottages located on slopes. The diameter of the burrow is 30-40 cm, the depth is 3-6 meters. Cost - 2500-3500 GEL unit. For a cottage, 12-16 hammocks are enough.

Waterproofing and ventilation

Waterproofing the foundation of the cottage is especially important, since the basement is often used as a living space. We use a combined system:

  • Horizontal insulation - bitumen mastic in 2 layers + roll material
  • Vertical insulation - membrane insulation PLANTER type
  • Drainage - Perimeter drainage with 110mm pipes

For a cottage with a basement, forced ventilation is necessary. The cost of the system - 2000-3000 GEL. This will prevent dampness and mold from forming.
