Modern homes in sophisticated high-tech style

Hi-tech style is a favorite of pragmatic people. He embodies new technologies in the field of construction and design. High-tech is first and foremost an ergonomic house of the future, allowing to appreciate the advantages of large space and comfort. Outside simplicity hides complex engineering solutions and high technology.

A distinctive feature of the house, built in a modern high-tech style - a functional layout with a minimum number of partitions, strict geometric lines in the project. Thus, the whole structure should have the correct form, strict proportions in the exterior and interior, minimal decor.

Construction costs to owners is quite expensive. High technologies, expensive materials (mainly artificial: metal, glass, concrete, plastic, and so on), expensive professional design require significant investments. However, the finished house has the main advantage of efficiency in terms of operation, durability and environmental friendliness.

High-tech is also a “smart home” that performs various functions.such as turning on and off the alarm, adjusting the heating, turning on and off various appliances in the house - everything is in automatic mode. This is a high-tech house with solar panels, wind generator. Heating in the house will be air, and the vacuum cleaner and other equipment - built-in. The house is equipped with modern communication systems.

High-tech buildings are usually large and spacious. Projects can be both single-storey and multi-storey. Therefore, this style is chosen for the construction of private houses, and for large public buildings, hotels, business centers.

However, small two-storey high-tech cottages are often encountered.Small one-, two- and three-storey country houses.

One-story mini-house fully meets the requirements of style, it is minimalism and functionality. Floors at home - this is exclusively the preference of the future owner, approving the project and plan. High-tech style does not limit the number of floors. Also characterized by multi-level houses with complex internal communication.

The facades of houses are distinguished by the use of large amounts of glass in the exterior, which increases the space. Intense lighting replaces the decor. In addition to lighting, the facade is also enhanced by glossy, shiny materials in its decoration. Facade materials are, as a rule, artificial materials: plastic, metal, glass or concrete. Often there are blocked houses, cottages. The facade is often made of large concrete blocks. Or it can be frame and modular houses built from modern CIP panels. They are filled inside with wooden shavings or foam, which allows you to retain heat in the house during the cold season.

Hi-tech is also changing over time.and today, wood is often used to decorate houses as well as bricks.Often, as elements of minimalist decor. These materials are combined with metal, plastic or concrete. The facade of a wooden house in the style of bio-tech (bionic high-tech) can be made of profiled or glued timber, as well as logs. The house can be partially decorated with blocks of brick, giving it a more elegant look.

The lack of decor is compensated by other methods. For example, chrome, metal, glass parts of the facade perform an aesthetic function. Open brick, natural wood pattern used in veneer, is a substitute for decor.

If glass is used in the decoration of the house, then it necessarily has a protective film from ultraviolet radiation. It protects the house on sunny days from overheating, allows you to save on air conditioning.

Important elements of the facade are not only large panoramic windows, but also stairs, ventilation systems and other parts (brickwork, painted pipes, various metal structures) that are brought out. This is especially characteristic of industrial high-tech, imitating the facades of factories.

The facade of the house is laconic and strict.Often made in gray, metallic colors, can also be used contrasting combinations. To illuminate the facade often use neon lamps.

In front of the house there is a large playground, the house adjoining territory is covered with a lawn with straight paths, there are no garden plantings and flower gardens.

Hi-tech is a large panoramic windows. The more light that enters the house, the better. To reduce the heat load on sunny days, the windows are covered with a protective film or tinted. The frames are made of plastic or aluminum. In most cases, the window design is lightweight and safe.

Private house projects often involve the construction of pergolas over the windows. These are special functional canopies of a geometric shape that protect windows from the ingress of sunlight. The functionality of the windows is also well thought out: noise reduction, heat insulation, safety and environmental friendliness.

The house is built with a flat roof. It can be made of transparent material. In this case, its main purpose is to fill the house with light.

Or the roof may have a functional meaning.For example, in southern latitudes, apartment buildings and hotels often have a roof with a pool. For a country house is suitable lawn, recreation area or sports ground.

Solar panels can be installed on the roof, most modern houses have wind generators on the roof.

For garage buildings is characterized by a simple geometric structure, made, as a rule, of concrete and plastic. Garage supply a variety of innovative technologies, such as automatic lifting gates, automated switching on and off lights, and so on.

For interior decoration using only the best quality materials. It is, as a rule, a natural tree (a parquet, a laminate). The design is subject to the rules of ergonomics, which includes color therapy and psychotherapy. The design should be beautiful, but at the same time concise. Ergonomics necessarily takes into account the characteristics of human physiology. Therefore, high-tech as a whole is subject to the interests of the individual, comfort and health of home owners.

The design plan of the house to the subtleties is thought out and fully meets the requirements of functionality and minimalism.

Lighting the house inside is a very important part of the style. Light in the room should be a lot, because it allows you to expand the space. It can be complex lighting systems on the inside of the panels, built-in lighting fixtures, halogen bulbs and more.

For high-tech style is characterized by the use of blinds instead of curtains. Ordinary curtains prevent sufficient sunlight from entering the house, which in this case is unacceptable.

The basis of the color palette is neutral colors, black, white and gray. Smooth chrome surfaces, shiny materials for interior decoration. Bright colors can be used, but they should be quite a bit.

On the floor, as a rule, laminate is laid of any shade characteristic of the style. The bathroom can be self-leveling floor with heating function.

The high-tech style is characterized by flat, smooth ceilings, with LED lights, halogen lamps.The ceilings are predominantly high, because an important task is to emphasize the space.

For the construction of walls are used durable reinforced concrete panels or frame of CIP panels (glued, filled with wooden chips, or foam). Like other elements of high-tech style, safety and practicality play a major role here.

Laminate can be used to finish walls as well as floors. The walls are most often painted in bright colors (or monochromatic gray, beige). Since the hi-tech style is characterized by a minimal number of internal partitions, ordinary walls are often replaced with large windows.

In the bathroom most often you can see tile.

Since high-tech means more free space and functionality, the furniture in the room is a minimum. It is most often made of ergonomic materials, mainly light colors, has a shiny surface. The style is characterized by futuristic furniture.

Upholstered furniture made of fabric or artificial leather provides maximum comfort. Furniture fittings - metal, chrome or matte. Upholstered furniture often has metal parts. Also characteristic are sliding tables, large lamps, open shelving, and sliding wardrobes. Furniture can be made of metal (for example, in the kitchen).

In premium-class homes, designers often supply furniture with various smart technologies, linking it with the information system at home.

The interior can also be used the style of "bio hi-tech", which differs from the classic high-tech characteristic combination of natural materials with the latest technology. The lines here can be not necessarily straight and sharp, on the contrary, somewhat smoothed, smooth.

Furniture high-tech ergonomic. Made in the style of futurism, cubism, modernism.

Often use in the interior of the carpet with a long nap, without patterns, monophonic, neutral colors. Instead of decor - light. This may be one large lamp or LED lighting around the perimeter of the room.

There are several branches of high-tech style. Geometric high-tech is a classic version, it implies straight lines, strictly geometric forms.

Consider some interesting options:

• Modern multi-level house in the style of geometric hi-tech. Concrete blocks - characteristic of the style material. Panoramic windows around the perimeter and intense lighting create the effect of a large house;
• Bionic high-tech, or bio-tech, allows you to use natural materials such as wood or bricks for the facade. They can be used as a minimum decor or be the main material for the facade;

• The area in front of the house becomes a continuation of the building itself. Characteristic of the style is the absence of flowers and other plantings, a smooth regular lawn, straight paths. The garage is a small building of the correct form with a flat roof, built of concrete blocks. The entrances to the garage, as well as to the house, must be highlighted;
• House by the sea. Panoramic windows with sufficient light allow you to emphasize the space inside and out. A functional roof, equipped for a rest area or swimming pool, is characteristic of this style.

Modern living room design.Minimalism and the predominance of gray, silver hues, as well as smooth surfaces - a feature of the interior high-tech. In the design of the living room there are practically no bright colors.

Carpet - an important detail of the interior. It should be monophonic and have a long nap. The carpet surface compensates for the lack of decor and makes the interior more warm and cozy.

The hi-tech style for the kitchen is a large and bright space, state-of-the-art equipment and maximum convenience. Since high-tech is a minimum of partitions, the kitchen is most often combined with the living room.
