Which holiday home design should I choose for relaxation and rental?

When spring comes we think about how to manage our plots and there are more and more lovers of a cottage on their own plot. A day in such a cottage is more comfortable than staying in a hotel. Whoever has spent such free time once will not give up plans to have a summer cottage of their own. What cottage project is best to choose? We answer this question!

Time spent in the bosom of nature regenerates vital forces. You can calmly relax from the hustle and bustle of the city or spend time with your children. Ideal conditions for relaxation are created by plots in rural areas in tourist regions, where it is worth placing a 35m2 summer house .

The choice of the project is determined by the analysis of the plot

To make a decision on the choice of project, it is necessary to analyze the potential of the plot of land owned. Land designated for development according to the applicable regulations is subject to certain restrictions, which these regulations, both general and separate, impose on the plot and its development.

Wondering if it is possible to have a summer cottage without a permit?

We have good news - when planning to build a summer house, in most cases you do not have to apply for a special permit . Remember that both with a building permit and when reporting the construction, the Investor must obtain an extract and a drawing from the spatial development plan for the plot. If there is no plan in a given area, then you must apply for the development and land development conditions for the plot. This is because, according to the provisions of the construction law, a summer house is not considered a residential building, or at least not a building intended for living all year round. Therefore, it is classified as a building for individual recreation.

Remember! You must obtain a building permit if:

• your investment requires an environmental impact assessment

• your investment requires an impact assessment on the Natura 2000 area

• if construction works are to be carried out at a facility entered in the register of monuments (this also applies to national parks)

• if the construction or construction works will be carried out in an area entered in the register of historical monuments

You will be exempt from obtaining a permit if :

• the summer house will be a detached, single-storey building,

• you are planning to builda summer house up to 35 m² ,

• There will be a maximum of one such building for every 500 m² of plot

The distance of the walls of the utility building in relation to the second plot is also important. Utility buildings must be located at least 4 m (if the wall has windows or doors) or 3 m (in the case of a wall without windows and doors) from the side of the neighboring plot. Know that without a permit, you can build single-storey recreational houses, the building area of ​​which does not exceed 35 m2, and the number of such buildings on the plot is not more than one for every 500 m2.

In our offer you will findyear-round summer houses , which thanks to ingenious spatial solutions will provide you with comfortable use. Are you worried that there will be no possibility of spending the night in such a house with the whole family? Nothing like that, because the project of a summer house upon application may assume the construction of a mezzanine, which is not a full-size floor, but allows for the construction of additional beds or other sleeping places.

What should you pay attention to when choosing a summer house design?

• height of the house and number of storeys – two-story or single-story house?

There are no restrictions on the height of farm buildings and summer houses built on application, the only condition is that they must be single-storey . A building with a usable attic requires a building permit, but in a building built on application we can make a mezzanine, which will significantly increase the area to be adapted. Requirements in this area of ​​height may be included in the local spatial development plan, which should be checked before choosing a specific project. We build two-storey summer houses only on the basis of a building permit.

• area of ​​the summer house

House on application without a permit, you can build a house with a maximum usable area of ​​35 m2. That is why mezzanines are so important - some projects even add an additional 15m2 on one or two mezzanines, which do not count as usable area. Houses with a larger area require processing based on a building permit. If we want a project with a larger cubic capacity, this is the only solution that allows implementation. Sometimes it is worth considering a slightly more expensive implementation to build a dream place for rest or rent.

• roof and its angle of inclination – flat or multi-pitched

The angle of the roof should be adapted to the climatic conditions prevailing in a given location. A gable roof with an angle of inclination of 45° or more drains water from atmospheric waste faster, so it will be a good choice in regions of Poland exposed to more frequent rainfall. It is also suitable for snow accumulating on it. This explains why houses in the mountains have sloping roofs . Snow does not accumulate on them, but slides off immediately, so the weight does not negatively affect the structure of the building. In places where weather conditions are stable, such as the central part of the country, flat roofs are an increasingly popular choice, which fit perfectly into both older and more modern architecture.

• construction of the house – wooden or brick;

We definitely debunk the myths that wood is less energy-efficient than traditional construction. It is impossible to determine in advance which construction technology will be more energy-efficient. It all depends on the specifics of the construction project, the quality of thermal insulation and the quality of the construction. Wooden structures definitely win over brick structures due to the speed and ease of implementation. We can have such a house built within a few days in the case of ready-made modules to a few months in the case of skeletons. Ecological factors are also a very important element of choosing a project.

• style – traditional or modern;

Contemporary architecture is characterized primarily by simplicity of form. A modern house design is chosen by supporters of large and numerous glazings, so that as much light as possible enters the interior, window frames are minimized in such designs, you will rarely find divisions of glazing, and there is no regularity among them. Large windows and sliding balcony doors are adjacent to French windows and strip windows. In traditional houses we will find complex shapes, divisions into wings, projections, decorative dormers, bay windows and arcades. A multi-pitched roof is decorative, combining many elements. This complex roof is much more expensive and difficult to build than a gable roof, but it gives an interesting character to the attic.

• number of beds

In 35m2 summer houses , which are intended for rent, the number of beds is a factor that builds value, so it is worth planning the space so that the whole family can sleep in comfortable conditions. The implementation of such an assumption in a house on request requires a mezzanine and we prefer such projects. The differences in prices per day in the season for houses for 4 and 6 people are up to PLN 300 per day. This significantly affects the profitability of rent and is an extremely important element when choosing a project. Therefore, we recommend and implement projects that have more places to sleep, even if they are not used, they are valuable.

• energy saving and ecology

When selecting a project in terms of energy efficiency, the quality of structural elements is important. The use of wood with a high strength class C24 gives very good building parameters . It comes from forests that, due to harsh weather conditions and long winters, are characterized by slow growth, which makes this wood hard and durable. Only high-quality, undamaged trees of appropriate thickness are selected for the production of structural wood. The cut wood is chamber-dried in specially prepared halls. In the ranking of materials with a low thermal conductivity coefficient, this wood wins with such construction materials as steel and concrete. The use of load-bearing structural elements (external walls, roofs) prevents the formation of thermal bridges, which is associated with high energy savings of the building. Designing a photovoltaic installation on the roof will make the house energy-passive, it is also important to use windows with low heat transmittance, preferably triple-glazed . The entire building prepared in this way provides certainty of energy conservation and the possibility of using the summer house all year round. Creating a year-round home also significantly increases the economics of renting, remember this when choosing a home design.

A 35m2 summerhouse can become your refuge, thanks to which you will forget about the problems in your professional and family life. You can build such a small facility on your plot and rest, regenerating your strength or you will be able to earn from rent, strengthening your capital investment in land. You will create a space for sports and children to play.
