Modern architectural solutions and new building materials open a whole segment of compact housing. It requires a special architectural method to the formation of the external appearance of the building and its interior structure.

This developed series of residential houses demonstrates the potential of a compact house, not only as an object of a comfortable home, but also as an element that forms the architecture of the surrounding space. Due to their dimensions, the houses of the < A-Z > series are most comfortable, extremely ergonomic, technological, economical in building and open to the widest range of consumers. The construction of houses involves the use of modern energy-saving materials with high environmental quality, which will further reduce the cost of operation and maintenance.

Principles of modern private architecture:

-Compactness.

-More does not mean better.

-There is a limit of space when the sense of volume begins to get lost.

-The best volume is the one that a person feels, understands its changes.

- Separation of functions.

Often, people want to place in the house not only necessary for living a room, but also a garage, a bathhouse, a guest house, etc. Combining sometimes incompatible functions, space can become unsuitable for life.

We consider the house not as a multi-functional complex with a combination of rarely used functions, but as an ensemble of individual architectural volumes:

- Work with external and internal volume at the same time.

-The planning decision is based on the principles of volume perception, not perimeter. Thus, the plastic of the external form is reached, and the ergonomics of the inner spaces is maximally revealed.

- Exterior - a logical extension of the interior (its integral part). Typically, small houses are located on compact sites.

That is why, in the presence of even a limited area of nature, it must be passed inside.

- Characteristic imagery.

The house is viewed as a single organism not only in the context of the interaction of internal and external elements, but also as an object as a whole.

This is a sculptural, silhouette, characteristic form. Formerly, designs gave rise to architecture.

With the development of modern technologies, we have the opportunity to ignore those elements that hinder us.

The houses of such a plan are an attribute of a fast-flowing life. They can easily be erected anywhere in a short period of time. The use of a light steel frame, sip panels, reinforced modular and panel elements, as well as screw pile foundations, does not make the construction of a house a long-term epic.
