In the modern world, when buying an apartment, they pay attention to many factors, including the layout. Now in the construction of apartment buildings, a lot of planning solutions are used. There are a lot of them on the Russian market. It has also become fashionable to do redevelopment, despite the fact that the changes have to be documented and permissions for reconstruction must be obtained. The most popular option was apartments with free layouts. Typical buildings are those that are combined into one group according to some typical characteristics, for example, the year of construction or the material of the walls, as well as the series of construction.

Planning in old houses

Old fund. These houses were with a low number of storeys: as a rule, 2 floors. They were built from wood. Built before 1917. This is basically emergency housing. But there are also buildings built at the beginning of the century, with metal ceilings. They are not emergency. The layout of typical apartments was individual, without a bathroom and with an entrance through the kitchen. Only a few houses with metal ceilings had equipped toilets. There were also options with a bathroom, but with narrow rooms and a corridor. There is housing and up to 400 m2. But maybe it's already been dividedfor smaller layouts. As a rule, in such housing there are high ceilings.

Stalin. The period of construction of these apartment buildings fell on 1930-1950, just during the reign of Stalin. Hence the name of such a layout. There are pre-war and post-war Stalinists. Much more attention was paid to the first version of buildings and much more money was invested in construction than in the post-war version. These were already more modest. The number of storeys of such buildings is from 3 to 4 floors. There are large windows and high ceilings. A common option is 2- and 3-room apartments. But 1 and 4-room apartments are rare. Each room had its own characteristics. One-room apartments were from 32 to 50 m2², two-room apartments from 44 to 70 m2, three-room apartments from 57 to 80 to 110. Usually the bathroom is separate and located next to the kitchen. The rooms are all isolated.

Khrushchev. Houses with layouts of typical Khrushchev-type apartments appeared in 1958 - almost immediately after the stalinok. The construction of these houses was completed in 1985. A distinctive feature is a combined bathroom, small kitchens, and walk-through rooms in multi-room apartments. The floors in the building were from 4 to 5. One-room apartments had an area of up to 33 m22, two-room apartments - up to 46, and three-room apartments - up to 58. The material of the walls is brick.

Modern standard apartment layouts

Brezhnevka. The construction of these apartment buildingscarried out between 1964 and 1980. Rooms in them can be from one to five. They were erected up to 17 floors and usually from panels, but there are also brick buildings. The difference from Khrushchev in the kitchen area - it ranged from 6.8 to 7.4 m2. The window sills were larger, and the brick houses had good sound and heat insulation. This is one of the advantages of such housing. They are also equipped with isolated rooms and a separate bathroom.

Leningradka. Built from 1975 to 1989. These are five-story houses with a garbage chute. The wall construction technology is panel-frame. Kitchens from 7 to 8 m². One-room apartments have an area of up to 36, two-room - up to 49, three-room - up to 68, and four-room - up to 85 m^{2. The latter were only on the first floors and with walk-through rooms.}
