High-tech houses: features of the latest technologies

For Russia, hi-tech style is a newfangled trend that requires compliance with certain rules. Its feature is minimalism, but with maximum fullness and practicality. Let's take a closer look at what these modern and high tech that are included in the high-tech style.

Distinctive features of high-tech style

If we consider various projects of houses in high-tech style, the idea is born that they are from another planet. They are so elegant, unusual, beautiful.

Main characteristics:

Straight lines.
panoramic windows.
Light and space.
More often one level (floor).
Naturalness.
Advanced technologies, in other words, a "smart" home.
Flat roof.

Projects of such houses include the use of plastic, metal, glass. And here natural wood should be implemented in a minimum amount.

It is noteworthy that this style does not imply the use of small things that are accepted for other areas. All accessories are kept to a minimum. The main decorations can only be stairs and an elevator, if any.

Another striking feature of this style is the absence extra furniture. The interior uses only the most necessary pieces of furniture.

External elements of the house

Minimalism is the basis of high-tech. It manifests itself in everything that is necessary for the arrangement and construction of a house:

	Wall materials Building a house involves the construction of monolithic reinforced concrete walls. As a rule, its basis is panels. Modern opportunities also offer to build walls from sip panels.
	Exterior finish The facades of high-tech houses are more often finished: brick, panels, beam, plaster.
	Roof The appearance of the roof is a flat geometric figure, usually a rectangle. Flat roof cottages are quite interesting. For example, you can make a glass roof, an unforgettable view of the sky is guaranteed.
	number of storeys Hi-tech cottage is simplicity. Most often it is a one-story or multi-level house. There is no visible division into number of storeys in such buildings. The floors seem to overlap each other.
	Square The minimum number of walls is almost always used, since the rays of the sun must freely penetrate between rooms. This layout is characterized by airiness and illumination.
	Communications Modern house design involves the use of new communication technologies. Here are actively used solar panels and wind turbines. Their price is high, but in subsequent years they allow you to save and fully pay off.

Interior

Beautiful high-tech houses can only be completed after the interior has been created. The interior foundation is laid taking into account the requirements of minimalism.

High-tech houses are different the minimum amount pieces of furniture, the almost complete absence decorative accessories. It is also quite rare (if it allows adjoining territory) curtains are hung on the windows.

The interior is actively involved:

Calm and gentle shades: pastel, metallic, white, grey, silver.
No patterns on textiles. Sofas are better to choose in a monochromatic range. This rule applies floor covering, and carpets.
Minimum number of house plants. If they are, they should be planted in large pots of a solid color.

If you have no desire to use curtains and curtains, but there is a need to hide your personal life from others, tint the windows. In addition, blinds can be used.

Varieties of houses

Hi-tech houses involve the use of simple but high-quality materials:

	Modular Projects of such houses are distinguished by the speed of assembly. They are assembled according to factory schemes. Peculiarity modular construction lies in the fact that all the premises of the house are lined up in turn. For example, first they build a corridor, then a kitchen, a bathroom, etc. The modules are interconnected and create the effect of completeness. Modular houses are equipped with all necessary systems, and allow you to use the house all year round.
	frame This is the easiest and most cost-effective option for building houses in modern style. Great option for low-rise construction. Houses are distinguished by durability and instantaneous construction. as a finishing and facing material you can use any modern materials.
	From a bar Projects of high-tech timber cottages are quite rare. However, it exists. A wooden house is always naturalness and unity with nature. Complementing it with glass and metal components, you get a wonderful appearance.

High-tech houses are divided into three main stylistic directions. All technologies remain the same, but the appearance of the cottages is different.

Individual. It has common features with the loft style direction. There are metal and glass elements, steel lintels, some of the communications are even made public. Color palette strictly limited to steel and cold shades. Applied use artificial materials a lot.

Geometric. This is the most popular modern trend. The houses are characterized by unusual geometric shapes and proportions. Buildings can have the shape of a cube, a parallelepiped, and even a trapezoid. The basis of the direction is different levels. Exterior walls are always smooth, plain and matte. All communications within the house space.

Bionic. This is a borderline style, it includes the use of natural and artificial materials. Here natural lines are used. The house is characterized environmental safety. Most often, renewable energy sources are installed. It is necessary to use light shades.

Conclusion

modern houses can be built in accordance with various styles. Newest technologies, building capabilities and a laconic interior are clearly welcome in high-tech style.

High-tech houses appeared relatively recently - in the 70s of the last century. And immediately gained a reputation as prestigious housing for connoisseurs of everything new and avant-garde. High technologies (that is how high tech is translated from English) are used in such houses at all stages of construction.

Appearance

The main external feature of high-tech houses is the use of clear straight lines and shapes. For example, roofs are made flat, they can be used as terraces.

Also, the high-tech style is characterized by the use of glass, concrete and metal in the construction of a building and hinged ventilated facades during exterior finish. Although in Lately more and more often you can find houses made of natural materials: wood and stone.

Windows often replace one or more walls in high-tech homes. They miss maximum amount daylight and allow you to enjoy the view of nature.

Interiors

The interior decoration of high-tech houses is made in the style of minimalism, which implies rational use space. Every detail of the interior is carefully thought out. There is no "piling up" of furniture and due to this a feeling of spaciousness is created.

The highlight of high-tech houses is an intelligent control system " smart House”, which uses all the most advanced technologies. Climate control, lighting control, security systems, multimedia are combined into a single system that can be controlled from a special remote control or from a phone.

Also, high-tech houses are characterized by the use of green technologies. For example, solar panels are installed on the roofs.

Construction technologies

During construction modern houses high-tech usually uses one of two technologies: monolithic-block or frame. In the first case, the walls can be built from blocks, or they can be cast from concrete. This design is highly durable. Frame technology allows you to build light walls, consisting of a wooden (or iron) frame, in which SIP panels are mounted. In this case, the cost of the house is much lower, but the house is less durable and durable.

Advantages and disadvantages

The main advantage of high-tech houses is their practicality, combined with individuality. Such designs give their owner space and functionality in everyday life.

The disadvantages of high-tech houses include their high cost, if they are made in accordance with the concept of a smart home, as well as their unusual design, which may look ambiguous in a few decades. The complex construction technology of such houses does not allow non-professional builders to build them, it will be necessary to attract a house construction company.

Construction cost

The average cost of building a high-tech house is 20,000 rubles per m² of house area.

The Brickhouse company can build houses as per standard project, as well as on an individual sketch. To calculate the exact price of building a turnkey high-tech house, just call us by phone or leave a request on the website.

The name of the style "Hi-tech" comes from the abbreviated "high technology" - high technology. The style itself is characterized by minimalism, ergonomics, modernity and unusual proportions. Photos of houses in the style of Hi-Tech will not leave anyone indifferent due to their unusual, bold, cutting-edge design.

The origin of style

High-tech house designs first appeared in the 30s of the 20th century. Further spread it received already in the 60s of the last century thanks to designers inspired by the functionality, rationalism and constructivism of industrial buildings.

A big impetus to the development of style was given by new construction technologies. frame houses from sip panels. At the beginning of its inception, hi-tech was perceived by many with hostility, but now high-tech, slightly “alien” houses are especially valued in the modern world.

Forms

Projects of Hi-Tech houses are distinguished by smooth lines and strict geometric shapes. Here, cubic and rectangular structures are combined in different variations, the distinguishing features are big windows And flat roof, transparent or mirrored glass walls are often used.

In the construction of these houses, advanced, innovative technologies which makes projects very expensive.

However, due to the thoughtfulness the smallest details engineering systems and communications, such houses are very economical in operation.

Floors and walls

Usually, monolithic, highly durable reinforced concrete panels are used for construction. Often applied frame structures filled with sip panels. The basis of the panels is wood shavings.

Also, during construction, foam blocks are used, in rare cases - bricks. To separate the internal space of housing, plastic, polycarbonate and even tempered glass are used. The tree in this style is used only as an exception.

Facade

To be able to make the most of daylight, the facades in this style are glazed as much as possible. Large windows predominate, often the entire facade of the building is glazed. This technique allows you to create the illusion of increasing the size of the house.

Glass must be coated with a special compound that does not transmit ultraviolet light. Metal roller shutters are often used to protect windows.

For cladding the facade of the building are used composite panels or corrugated board. It is allowed to use porcelain stoneware finishes, facade tiles, natural stone and plasters.

Often used spectacular illumination of the facade around the perimeter.

Engineering systems

The peculiarity of the style is that all engineering Communication not only do not hide, but become original elements of exterior decor.

High technologies make it possible to create a modern a private house. Use of wind turbines, solar panels and other alternative sources energy provide high energy efficiency of housing.

The site usually has its own water supply system thanks to its own wells. This makes housing completely autonomous and independent of the general power grids.

Materials and finishes

The “three pillars” on which the hi-tech style is based are glass, metal and plastic. Elements of these materials are harmoniously combined with each other and create an image of modern housing.

Plain wallpaper, plaster or paint are perfect for wall decoration. Since high-tech finishing implies light colors walls and ceilings, then the best choice will be washable, wear-resistant paint, this will help to keep the freshness of your repair for a long time.

For finishing the floor, parquet, laminate or self-leveling floors are used. A high-tech floor should not have any ornament or repeat the wood texture. Pure colors are preferable here, for example, mother-of-pearl shine. good decision there will be an application in the house of the "warm floor" system.

Ceilings should be plain, the ideal solution would be to create multi-level ceiling with spot lighting. Ideally smooth, glossy stretch ceilings are well suited for this purpose.

When creating a high-tech design, natural textiles are used. Remember, curtains are not welcome in this style. Windows should be fully open, sometimes high-quality blinds are used that repeat the main color of the interior or metal roller shutters.

Primary colors

The basis of the style are classic combinations of white, black and brown. Sometimes they are diluted with pure blue, red or in green. Widely used natural colors stone, metal and wood.

Furniture

The main criterion when choosing furniture should be its functionality. Its colors can be bright, but the form should remain extremely concise. Metal fittings look harmonious here.

Particularly appreciated is the transformable, unusual furniture with many functions, which can save as much free space as possible.

Preference is given upholstered furniture upholstered in thick plain fabric or soft leather.

Storage spaces (cabinets and shelves) must be built-in. Wardrobes fit harmoniously into this style.

Remember that simplicity and ergonomics are valued in this style.

Decor

Despite its severity and craving for minimalism, high-tech style does not reject the use of decorative elements. Floor chrome lamps can be not only sources of illumination, but also stylish decoration rooms.

This style goes well with the avant-garde. Use clocks, paintings and others decorative elements in this style.

Living room

There should be a minimum of furniture - coffee table(preferably made of rolled glass with metal legs), a sofa, a few armchairs and a TV stand. Furniture should be concise and multifunctional.

It welcomes the presence of open shelves with lighting. Elements from textiles will help to dilute severity - sofa cushions and covers. Textiles should be natural, plain or with a large pattern.

On the floor, you can put a light carpet, which will add coziness to the living room.

Bedroom

A well-organized bedroom space should not only be pleasing to the eye, but also be functional. Here you will need a large built-in wardrobe, a couple bedside tables and most importantly, the bed. It should be comfortable, beautiful and modern.

A bed with an adjustable headboard, hidden drawers for linen storage or a lifting mechanism will fit perfectly into this modern style.

In the design of the bedroom, it is not necessary to be limited to the main colors, here you can play with shades of pink, blue, yellow or any other.

Kitchen

The kitchen is the heart of the ultra-modern home. Thanks to a large number technology available in it, high-tech design will become easy perfect idea to decorate the space.

Choose high-quality washable materials for wall decoration, acrylic is well suited here. White kitchen with built-in kitchen furniture- standard of style. Here you can use a lot of metal, modern technology and artificial light sources.

Bathroom

Use glossy ceramic ingot to finish your bathroom white color. A jacuzzi or a modern shower cabin will fit into the style. The sink is better to choose from tempered glass, because a metal sink will be associated with kitchen sink and just look ridiculous.

For complete bathroom comfort, install shelving and apply LED backlight that will make the bathroom a place to relax and unwind.

High-tech house - The best decision for the active modern people who appreciate the beauty and comfort of their home.

is the personification of not only modernity and construction, but also a symbol of advanced technology. This is the choice for those who are not afraid to challenge the classics and generally accepted rules. The editors of the online magazine site have dealt with this issue in detail, presenting high-tech houses - photos of projects, interiors and interesting engineering solutions.

High-tech country house

Initially, such a term as "high-tech" began to be used to characterize houses built in the mid-sixties of the last century. And only a small group of architects who already at that time had authority in the construction world.

The projects of those years personified the romance of dynamically developing technologies. In the second half of the 20th century, there was a sharp jump in the development of technologies not only in the field of construction. New solutions were required that would combine ergonomics, manufacturability, and economy. In fact, it was this stylistic direction that became a platform for experiments not only in architecture, but also in construction itself, where they were willingly allowed.

In fact, the era of the birth of this style began with the appearance of such grandiose projects of that day as the Eiffel Tower and Paxton's Crystal Palace. The projects of Ehan Wilhelm Schweder and Charles Rowe de Fleur did not go unnoticed.

Such an architectural style came to Russia almost a hundred years after its origin in Europe. The leaders in this field Loleit A.F., Shukhov V.G., S. Kerbedzi, Kuznetsov D. and others were the first who were not afraid to use new materials, architectural forms and engineering solutions in the implementation of their projects. Although, it is worth recognizing that in Russia at that time with the development of innovations in construction it was not easy.

Later, the high-tech relay was supported by information technology, led by Bill Gates. His views on modernity were the impetus for the creation of the Center Pompidou in Paris.

Probably, it was from the 70s of the last century that we can assume that high-tech has firmly "settled" in society. Moreover, the masses became interested in its extraordinary characteristics, trying to implement them already in their daily lives.

Stylistic variety of high-tech houses

Modern high-tech, as we know it, is strikingly different from its form of origin. Today, there are several, different, but at the same time, existing according to the same "laws" of innovative construction. Consider the most popular hi-tech style trends.

Industrial hi-tech

The architectural embodiment of industrialization is a real industrial romance. After all, it is this direction that makes it possible to liken the project both in architectural and interior terms to any industrial building, taking from him the most character traits, for example, large windows, pipes, as in a thermal power plant, metallized elements. And you never know what else the architects will come up with. A vivid example is the already mentioned Center Pompidou.

Projects of one-story houses in high-tech style

High-tech, found in private construction, is distinguished by its simplicity and at the same time unusualness. The main elements are geometric, delimiting rooms. Vivid examples of such projects are presented below.

1 of 5

One of the features of such buildings is that there should be as many as possible around the entire perimeter of the building. All rooms should simply be immersed in daylight. Therefore, the areas of such houses are quite large. If we consider small high-tech houses, then, as a rule, they have one wall made of solid glazing, which is not suitable for many Russian regions.

Facades of houses and execution of the roof in high-tech style

The forms of the facades of houses in such an architectural design are distinguished by their clarity, geometry, and conciseness of lines. But at the same time, you can find completely asymmetric structures, where one block of the building is several times larger than the other.

Also, advanced architects and designers working in this area are introducing the Japanese system of building private houses. It implies that the life support of the house will not be the envy of the central highways of energy resources. If this issue was resolved with heating, then there is no water and light yet.

In fact, engineering systems will be configured so that no new resources are required. The rule of the natural cycle of substances in nature will apply - the most powerful, solar panels or windmills, the latest satellite systems. If such houses are serviced in time and with high quality, then they can be built even beyond the Arctic Circle, even on the top of a mountain, even in the remote tundra or on desert island and at the same time live in modern comfortable conditions with all the benefits of civilization.

Interior design of different rooms of the house in high-tech style

The interior design of a high-tech house is fully consistent with the style orientation - functionality, simplicity, clarity, smooth lines, minimalism. Solid colors are used in muted shades of gray, beige, which is diluted with white and black.

High-tech children's are also aged in simple forms. But bright blotches are required, comfortable for age. In principle, such interiors are not much different from the design of children's rooms, which we are used to seeing in ordinary houses and apartments.

What is more profitable: to build or buy a finished high-tech house

Building a high-tech house is not a cheap pleasure. Therefore, sooner or later the question is brewing, is it more profitable to build on your own than to buy a ready-made and already inhabited house? Let's look at some points:

You can build gradually, which does not require large financial injections at a time. All costs can be stretched for a convenient period.
At self construction such a house, in the absence of certain skills and knowledge, will require the involvement of qualified personnel, which can take up to 30% of the cost of the entire construction. In this regard, it is cheaper to buy.
Again, if the house is with electronics, then it is better to know and be sure that it is reliable and will not fail. This speaks in favor of independent construction.

To summarize, we can conclude that building a house in a modern high-tech style is more profitable. But it is imperative that qualified builders, engineers, workers who “do not mess up” and as a result get a ready-made full-fledged building that is comfortable for permanent residence should be involved.
