Apartments of all series, as a rule, are divided according to the method of using a certain building material in them: panel, brick, monolithic. The entire list of layouts is usually divided into several types. The following layouts are the most popular today:

"Khrushchev"

This type of apartment layout originated in the 70s, in connection with which they gave it such a name. "Khrushchev" have a small kitchen, adjacent walk-through rooms and a combined bathroom. The buildings of such apartments were built from panels and almost all the walls in them are load-bearing. At the same time, it is these apartments that are most often subject to redevelopment. Due to the considerable dimensions of one room, it will not be possible to equip a separate bedroom, so it will be multifunctional. Also in this case, you will have to abandon the bedside tables. The main room will serve as a nursery, a living room, and an office.

"Stalinist" layout

This type of housing construction appeared in the 30-60s of the XX century. It includes large multi-apartment, five-, three-story buildings with fairly large communal apartments and high ceilings. Long corridors, the only bathroom and one kitchen. All rooms are located along the corridor on one side.

Such apartments were built for families with a small number of people, and did not differ in large area, even when the apartment had enough rooms.

"New" layout

Over time, the architects studied all the shortcomings of the projects of past years and tried to eliminate long narrow corridors. Also, built-in wardrobes were replaced, which at the time of the Khrushchevs occupied a huge space in all corners. When planning such apartments, it always implies a large area of \u200b\u200ball rooms, a separate bathroom and kitchen with a footage of at least 9 square meters. m.

Open plan.

Today, the increasing distribution of steelto acquire the so-called free layouts of apartments. The apartments in this series do not have load-bearing partitions. This, as a rule, has positive aspects, but it also cannot do without disadvantages. Among them, a high cost can be distinguished, since these apartments are most often
