Variations on a country theme
This style, like the previous one, is perfect for decorating a wooden bathhouse, suggesting the creation of a “rustic” interior, without any special frills or ceremonial pomp that would be inappropriate in this case.
In general, Russian style and country music are very similar. However, country music will bring the traditions of other countries into the interior of the bathhouse. Thus, designers highlight American and French country, which will be distinguished by the traditional colors of textiles and the use of individual interior elements.

French country is more sophisticated than American country, which is considered one of the simplest. But the main features of this design direction are preserved regardless of the country of origin. So, the interior of a country-style bathhouse is:
- Wooden furniture, usually light colors, perhaps artificially aged and simply varnished. The furniture is decorated with light carvings and polished, making it look somewhat more elegant than in the Russian style.
- Bright dishes that will serve as a highlight of an otherwise very simple interior. Ceramics, blue-white or pale yellow plates, cups depicting rural landscapes, as well as dishes made of natural wood are appropriate.
- Natural fabrics - cotton and linen of variegated colors.
- Walls made of timber or logs.
- Mandatory beams on the ceiling.
- Ceramic tiles or boards on the floor.

Everything is simple and tasteful - this is the basic principle of country music. This option is more similar to the French “rustic” style than to the American one, which took a lot from the national traditions of Indian tribes

Beautiful ideas in the interior
Modern designers involved in the arrangement of baths and saunas can offer stylish and fashionable projects for implementation. The mood of the bath will depend on how the interior of the bathhouse is decorated. Therefore, when choosing a design, you need to navigate according to your taste. To complete the design of any interior, you need to add beautiful and cozy accessories to it. In the interior of a Russian bath, these can be bast shoes, samovars, copper utensils and other attributes of rural life.
The relaxation room in bathhouses, decorated in country or Provence styles, can be decorated with antique furniture. Old chests of drawers, sideboards, grandma's chests and dressing table will fit perfectly here. For a sauna decorated in an oriental or Turkish style, the best decoration would be to cover the walls with bright ceramic mosaics. The relaxation room in such a sauna can be turned into an exotic hookah bar. By adding some bright textiles, colorful pillows and a round table with low legs, you can create the perfect place to relax with family or friends.
Disadvantages of houses with a pitched roof
Until recently, a pitched roof in temperate and cold regions was only applicable for outbuildings on which one did not want to spend additional time removing snow. Such buildings include: baths, garages, sheds. Flat roofing was rarely used in residential projects.

A fashionable novelty, positioned as an option without disadvantages, can pose a problem for the future owner of the house due to its unusual design:
- In such projects there is no attic space, which plays the role of a traditional storage room and provides additional heat.
- The absence of an attic forces additional waterproofing of the roof, and indispensable enhanced insulation of the roof.

In winter, without cables to melt the snow, you have to carry out snow removal. During warming, wet snow increases the load on the supporting system, and in large quantities can even lead to its collapse. Fans of pompous styles consider low decorativeness to be a disadvantage, but with skillful design this can be easily leveled out.
Flat roof design and waterproofing options
A building of any type and style may exhibit significant shortcomings in operation, causing everyday inconvenience in the cold or rainy season. Therefore, you need to take your home design seriously and take into account all the components.
Interior decoration of a modern Russian bath
Most modern bath buildings are very similar in the way they decorate the walls, heating equipment and furniture. The similarity of the interiors is also a sign of a modern style, because, regardless of belonging to a particular trend, the simplicity and comfort of the room is, first of all, important to the owners of the bathhouse.
Typically, simple lining or profiled slats made of linden, cedar, ash or even Karelian pine are used for walls.
To make the interior more recognizable and at the same time modern, you can use small auxiliary furniture parts. For the Russian style, this can be everything that the bathhouse culture is rich in - samovars, carved furniture, bast shoes on the wall, birch brooms and a huge table in the rest room.
High-tech architecture - what is it?
Initially, a term such as “high tech” began to be used to characterize houses built in the mid-sixties of the last century. And only a small group of architects who already at that time had authority in the construction world.
Projects of those years personified the romance of dynamically developing technologies. In the second half of the twentieth century, there was a sharp leap in the development of technology not only in the field of construction. New solutions were required that would combine ergonomics, manufacturability, and efficiency. In fact, it was this style direction that became a platform for experiments not only in architecture, but also in construction itself, where modern technologies were willingly introduced.
In fact, the era of the birth of this style began with the appearance of such grandiose projects of that day as the Eiffel Tower and Paxton's Crystal Palace. The projects of Ehan Wilhelm Schweder and Charles Rowe de Flera did not go unnoticed.
Paxton's Crystal Palace is an interesting architectural solution. It's a shame it burned out
This architectural style came to Russia almost a hundred years after its origin in Europe. Leaders in this field Loleit A.F., Shukhov V.G., S. Kerbedzi, Kuznetsov D. and others are the first who were not afraid to use new materials, architectural forms and engineering solutions when implementing their projects. Although, it is worth recognizing that in Russia at that time it was not easy with the development of innovations in construction.

Later, the “high-tech relay” was supported by information technology, led by Bill Gates. His views on modernity became the impetus for the creation of the Pompidou Center in Paris.
Center Pompedu in Paris
Probably, it was since the 70s of the last century that we can consider that high-tech has firmly “settled” in society. Moreover, the masses began to become interested in its extraordinary characteristics, trying to implement them in their everyday lives.
Hi-tech style bathhouse inside and out: project and design
› Bath
A high-tech bathhouse is a popular architectural and design solution for building steam rooms today, which is chosen by many Russian residents.
This is a very modern, urban style, in which convenience, comfort and functionality are put at the forefront of the table, and minimal attention is given to decoration and decoration, since most of the accessories used in decoration do not have any practical application, and therefore they are useless they can be easily abandoned.
Each plane has its own finishing coating
Traditionally, a bathhouse has three rooms - a steam room, a washing room, and a relaxation room. In each room it is necessary to definitely finish the walls, floor and ceiling.
The steam room welcomes ceramic or wood flooring. The advantage of such floors is their naturalness and roughness. True, for the floor you will have to select wood that does not slip and does not rot. Therefore, oak and birch are immediately crossed out.
Decorating the inside of a bathhouse with clapboards with your own hands has an analogue option - covering the walls with standard boards. As for the ceiling, it must be hemmed.
The washing room allows the use of lining and boards for wall cladding. But the floors and ceiling can be organized using porcelain tiles and a suspended ceiling, respectively. If the latter hits your pocket, then you can limit yourself to plasterboard sheets.
The rest room does not have any special requirements for decoration (although the walls, floors and ceiling should continue the general idea of a wooden bathhouse).
Selection of bathhouse projects
The bathhouse projects in the catalog are buildings adapted to the weather conditions of Russia, made from the best materials in terms of thermal insulation:
- Trees (log),
- Specially treated timber - for areas with problems with humidity and temperature changes,
- Foam concrete or brick, including fireproof - for individual elements of the steam room,
- Energy efficient frame structures.
When choosing the basis for a bathhouse project, you should immediately decide which result will most fully meet your needs. In a log bath you will feel the traditional woody “spirit”, brick or concrete will make the building especially reliable, and the frame and timber option will open up wide possibilities for modern design.
Construction Features
The bathhouse design can have a different area, including not only a steam room and a shower room, but also additional rooms for functionality and comfort. This may include:
- Second floor (full or attic) with a loggia or balcony,
- Recreation rooms used as bedrooms, gym or billiards,
- Swimming pool, terraces for summer tea parties and even a built-in garage.
In addition to the main entrance, the bathhouse may have access to a nearby body of water. At the same time, the bathhouse itself can be built either separately or as an extension to a residential building - in order to save on the installation of communications for the steam room and other premises.
Facade decoration
In addition to the interior decoration of the bathhouse, you need to pay due attention to the appearance from the outside. If you decide to build a traditional rustic steam room, you will need profiled timber or rounded logs for construction. The facade of the building can be decorated in a fairy-tale style, playing up the appearance of the building so that it looks like a forest hut or a forester's lodge. Currently, houses built using the half-timbered technology are gaining great popularity.
This technology, in addition to a modern appearance, implies energy saving, which is important for a bathhouse. The main difference of a half-timbered structure is the large panoramic windows, which provide the building with a unique and modern appearance. Glazing is made with special mirror glass, which hides what is happening inside the building from people outside. Half-timbered buildings, like barnhouse buildings, are not suitable for forming a traditional Russian steam room inside the design. However, the design of the facade using half-timbered technology is perfect for baths with interior decoration in high-tech and modern styles.

Arrangement rules
Proper arrangement of a bathhouse is not an easy task to create a cozy place for cleansing the body. Designing the interior space of a room with a certain specificity requires not only comfort, but also absolute safety. Let us outline the basic requirements for the internal arrangement of a bathhouse:
- Fire safety clearances when constructing a stove must be at least 0.5 meters: the stove must not be installed in close proximity to walls. It is strictly prohibited to install the stove close to the wall of the steam room. The oven must have its own foundation.
- Comprehensive waterproofing of all surfaces of the room, including walls, floors and ceilings, is necessary to maximize the service life of the materials from which the building is made.
- Good thermal insulation (thorough insulation of all frame structures) is necessary to maintain the temperature in the room for a long time during bathing procedures.
- Materials used for interior decoration must be environmentally friendly. The priority is natural wood without additional finishing. Synthetic polymers and plastics must not be used.
- Zoning any baths is a standard technique. Traditionally, this is a dressing room, washing room and steam room. Modern projects provide space for a recreation area.
Features of interior decoration in High-Tech houses
Terraces and verandas
When creating the design of buildings or loggias adjacent to the house, preference is given to free space. For this reason, terrace finishing usually includes:
- wooden, concrete or stone flooring;
- vegetation - small trees or shrubs;
- furniture for relaxation - sun loungers, poufs, dining tables, etc.
On the terraces and verandas of High-Tech houses, many elements are not used, so the zones look spacious. The interior is supplemented with lighting - lamps are installed on stairs, canopies, to illuminate plants, and so on.

Living rooms
Since the design focuses on practicality and ergonomics, living rooms are often combined with kitchens. At the same time, the main part of the total area of the house is allocated for premises. Decorating a house in high-tech style is based on the use of modern technologies:
- Room lighting. In rooms with a High-Tech design, ordinary chandeliers with incandescent lamps are rarely used. Lighting devices here are represented by neon or halogen lamps, LEDs, and so on. Lighting devices are often mounted in furniture.
- Arrangement of walls. Electronics and technical equipment are often mounted inside load-bearing structures. At the same time, the walls are almost always made with division into levels. Exterior panels help install electric fireplaces, appliances and lighting inside walls. This helps to achieve unique design solutions and a futuristic appearance of the premises.
- Furniture and interior. When arranging High-Tech premises, only modern materials are used. Furniture made of plastic, environmentally friendly materials, nickel-plated metals, and so on is installed in houses. There are almost no plants in the rooms, and paintings are rarely hung on the walls.
- Household appliances and electronics are almost always connected to a “smart home” system, which allows you to control the lights and all devices from a mobile phone or remote control.
Living room decoration in High-Tech style
Bathrooms
Bathrooms and bathrooms are decorated with tiles of predominantly white or dark tones. Additionally, they can use wood and elements of vegetation - mainly artificial grass - to dilute the interior. For expensive design solutions, it is typical to use natural stone. The style is dominated by straight lines, so sinks, toilets and bathtubs are installed in rectangular shapes.

Bedrooms
Here the design gives preference to soft color solutions. Often pastel colors are used for decoration - beige, blue, and so on. Beds with an original design become a unique component of the bedrooms. They are often made suspended or with a futuristic design.

Project of the best bathhouse: what is it?
There is no general recipe, because each developer has his own goal: some are satisfied with the construction of a small building with a minimum number of rooms, but for others, a bathhouse without a large terrace and swimming pool is a bad option. But some unifying features can be noted.
— Convenient layout that takes into account the interests of each family member. Perhaps for an elderly person, climbing the stairs to the second floor will be difficult, but the presence of a spacious terrace on which you can drink tea in the evening will please you. And if the family has small children, it is worth equipping a swimming pool, even the smallest one.
— Multifunctionality. Today, owners of even the smallest bathhouses strive to expand their usable area by adding terraces or attic floors. A two-story residential building with the functionality of a bathhouse is not uncommon in summer cottages. The best design for a modern bathhouse is ergonomic. For example, with an attic, which allows you to develop the “upper” space.
— High-quality building material. A good structure cannot be built from bad wood. Be picky about the material that construction companies offer you and remember that you should only trust someone who has already justified this trust and has been working in the construction services market for many years.
— Aesthetic appeal of the building. A good project will definitely include this component, and the bathhouse will fit perfectly into the landscape of your site.
Bath buildings in modern Russian style
Most designers who specialize in modern interpretations of traditional buildings argue that the Russian style is one of the simplest and most recognizable of all existing ones.
It is possible to list only some of the features that indicate the Russian bathhouse style, even in modern processing and interpretation:
- Using a log frame, often intentionally large in size and diameter, as a bathhouse box;
- In the modern Russian style there are no high roofs with steep slopes and windows covering half the wall of the building. The window openings and doors in the bathhouse are no larger than those of ordinary modern buildings;
- Interior decoration can be done in a block house, emphasizing that the building belongs to a traditional Russian hut;
- The presence of a huge stove, of course, in a modern design and with stove fittings.
The traditions of the Russian style suggested the location of the bathhouse next to a pond or well. Therefore, a Russian-style bathhouse building, even in a modern style, is usually complemented by a wooden path and stairs leading to open water.
Often, the structure of a Russian bathhouse in a modern interpretation can be decorated with elements of culture and design of epic or fairy-tale characters. For example, a modern bath building can be built from logs or beams of a special shape and profile.
Even built on a floating platform, the domed mini-bath can rightly be attributed to the Russian style with a modern twist.
Of course, a bathhouse in Russian design can be built from any materials, but the zest is added by finishing the walls with a block house and using logs to decorate the porch.
Design for small apartments
When decorating a studio apartment, it can be helpful to follow high-tech design principles, as this style gives a small space the illusion of being much larger. You will find yourself in a small room that will not be cramped.
Option combining kitchen and living room
For a studio apartment
High-tech is suitable for small spaces. Clean, cool colors and a lack of additional furniture will help create the illusion of more space in the room.
The studio interior is characterized by freedom of space.
Tip: Don't be afraid to use this style in small apartments. An abundance of glass objects and light colors can make even the smallest studio apartment feel more spacious.
Option for a studio apartment
For children's rooms
High-tech style is a very practical design choice not only for spacious rooms, but also for small ones. It involves combining basic furniture with light color schemes.
Small, stylized children's room
For the bathroom
A high-tech bathroom is unable to combine comfort and romance in Provence, Country or Modern style. But at the same time, it will contain all the functional components needed in the bathroom. All normal daily activities should be made easier and more natural.
Option for a small bathroom in this style
For kitchen
A bar counter would be ideal in a small high-tech kitchen, as well as a compact glass or extendable table that can be adjusted depending on whether it needs to seat 6 people or 2. Chairs can be made from:
- bent plywood;
- wood;
- metal;
- plastic;
- transparent polycarbonate.
The main criteria for choosing furniture for a small high-tech kitchen are minimal design, versatility and elegance.
Space-saving option for a small kitchen
High-tech interior design will help visually expand a room, thanks to bold, solid colors and the absence of unnecessary furniture.
Interior items
High-tech interior design usually does not require additional decorative elements, since a large amount of light is usually refracted by chrome and glossy surfaces and reflected in mirrors.
Tip However, if you intend to add a sense of personality to your interior, you need to use the right decorative elements.
Try to use as few decorative items as possible
The walls can be decorated with large photographic portraits in metal frames. Black and white photographs would be appropriate. Interesting metal figurines, as well as decorative glass objects will also match the design.

Style Features
A high-tech bathhouse meets the standards of fashion trends. High tech in translation means high technology. Style matches:

In the photo of bathhouses in high-tech style, you will notice the absolute thoughtfulness of the interior and the functionality of every detail. Although the premises are built mainly from laminated veneer lumber, everything here is taken into account in a high-tech style.
The steam room has diffused light characteristic of the style. Spotlights skillfully zone the space. Large windows are installed in the dressing room. They are covered with a special darkening film, thanks to which bathhouse visitors are not visible.
High-tech design
The high-tech bathhouse looks stylish and modern. Despite the fact that predominantly wooden materials are used in the steam room, the style is reminiscent of the clarity of the lines and the peculiarity of the lighting.
A high-tech bathhouse requires a large space. It is impossible to fully display the greatness of style in a small area. In addition to the steam room, shower and dressing room, there will be living quarters, a kitchen, and a dining room. All rooms are located on the same floor and have a convenient layout. Here all the rooms are in their place. There is nothing superfluous. Everything is thought out and functional.
If wood furnishings prevail in bath rooms, then in residential and utility rooms the style is fully manifested. In the dining room and kitchen there are neat metallic chrome tables. Furniture in residential areas has a clear structure.
Particular attention must be paid to lighting. High-tech dictates the creation of discreet light sources. These can be spotlights on the ceiling or lamps behind panels. Dimmed light does not interfere and creates a special atmosphere

Finishing materials for the bathroom relaxation room
A relaxation room in a bathhouse is no less significant than a steam room. On average, a person going for a steam bath spends more time here than in the steam room. This fact may explain the requirement for a scrupulous choice of facing material for its cladding.
When choosing the most suitable options, one should take into account their properties and the possibility of use in conditions of high humidity and sudden temperature changes in both directions. Despite the fact that the relaxation room may be located at some distance from the steam room, it will not be possible to block access to hot air currents and their contact with the walls cannot be excluded.
A similar situation applies to the street door - periodic exits “to cool off” will attract cool air. As a result of mixing warm and cold flows, cold steam is formed, which will settle on the walls.
As a result of this interaction, of the variety of finishing materials, the following types are suitable for use in a recreation room.

Wooden euro-lining, block house (imitation log) - made from solid linden, aspen, pine. Excellent material in terms of operational and decorative qualities. Marked by high environmental safety for humans. The disadvantage is the need for periodic treatment with an antiseptic. Otherwise, there is a high probability of the onset of rotting processes or the formation of fungus due to high humidity.

Wooden decorative panels for the ceiling of a recreation room - large-sized panels allow you to quickly and efficiently hide all surface imperfections. Installation is carried out on pre-insulated bases. They look impressive and aesthetically pleasing. The disadvantages are the same as those of euro-lining - natural wood without proper care can quickly become unusable.

Parquet, cork, parquet boards for the floor in the rest room located in the bathhouse will be an ideal option in terms of decorative functions. The disadvantage of the materials is the likelihood of them becoming unusable due to the abundance of moisture (condensation, wet feet). Applicable subject to partial use. For example, a passage area (next to the door to the street, to the steam room) is covered with moisture-resistant material, a dead-end area (near the sofa, bench, armchair).

Natural or artificial stone for walls. The materials not only have a unique appearance, but are also highly practical. Decorated walls of a relaxation room retain an attractive appearance for a long time. Not prone to damage under the influence of high temperature and high humidity. The most commonly used stones are granite, cobblestone, sandstone, quartzite or marble. The disadvantage is the high price and significant weight.

Porcelain tile is a strong, durable material that has a wide range of shades and textures, from imitation wood to a parody of natural stone. With its help, the design of a bath room can take on a wide variety of looks. Ideal for use in these conditions, the disadvantage is the cold (icy) surface, which is unhealthy to walk on barefoot.

Plastic panels (PVC, vinyl, acrylic) are an inexpensive type of facing material compared to natural wood. It differs in operational and aesthetic indicators, varying depending on the specific type.

Drywall, wallpaper and paint are the simplest and most financially acceptable materials. The only thing you need to consider when choosing them is that they are short-lived in conditions of high humidity. As mentioned earlier, if your recreation room is equipped with a constant source of heating and good air circulation, it is possible to use them. Otherwise, it is not recommended.
Unique design
Inside, the space simultaneously resembles an interstellar spaceship (as futurists see it) and a trendy nightclub. It sounds quite strange, but it looks simply amazing, even mesmerizing. The main highlight is the floating shelves. They are not only impressively beautiful, but also allow you to rationally organize your space. Another feature of a high-tech style bathhouse is subdued spot lighting. Its color can be changed at your discretion (depending on your mood, the occasion of the meeting, the gathered campaign).
Unconventional ideas
Some connoisseurs of unusual design admire the “goblin” style – and for good reason. The walls and ceiling in this version are usually finished with unedged linden boards. Chopped half-logs from linden are placed on the shelves. Other types of wood are not suitable for this element! When thinking through a specific interior, it is necessary to ensure that it is visually complete.
In this version, bright and rich colors are used. Textiles should have a lush appearance. It is recommended to use specifically exotic design elements and unique furniture. An exemplary Turkish hammam is always decorated with mosaics.
Of course, such a solution is more expensive than traditional wood finishing. However, the appearance will be much more luxurious. Local elements of the oriental style (in a less radical form) are rich mosaics and exotic patterns on the tiles in the shower area and in the pool. Some people set up full-fledged hookah bars with bright curtains, squat tables and bright pillows. This solution is distinguished by external beauty, cheapness and originality at the same time.
When setting up a classic sauna, it would be more appropriate to use Scandinavian style. Its characteristic features are visual simplicity and emphasized external roughness. You can use not only wood, but also more technologically advanced materials. The Scandinavian format is suitable for both wooden and brick buildings. It is advisable to plaster and paint the walls in neutral colors.
Fans of truly exotic things should pay attention to the Ofuro bathhouse. The Japanese approach is expressed using:
- large fans (they are simply hung on the wall);
- bamboo screens;
- natural shades;
- tatami;
- low tables;
- thematic paintings, ornaments.
Peculiarities
Arranging the bathhouse space beautifully and comfortably so that its zones correspond to their assigned functions is not such an easy task. It is important to think over the main style line of the future interior. The selection of building materials, furniture, and the purchase of additional decorative accessories will depend on the chosen design. We must not forget about the peculiarities of using premises in conditions of sharp temperature changes and high humidity.
All interior elements must meet safety standards, a high level of comfort and the necessary functionality. Therefore, practical natural materials with a long service life and resistant to extreme temperature conditions are used to decorate interior bath rooms. Before you begin the design of each individual zone in the bathhouse space, it is necessary to draw up a detailed layout and calculation of materials for each room (dressing room, steam room, washing room and relaxation area). Let's consider the main criteria.
To finish indoor surfaces, it is necessary to use environmentally friendly materials that have the following qualities:
- increased wear resistance;
- low heat conductivity;
- resistance to the aggressive influence of hot steam and humid air.
Such materials include natural wood in any form, sand-lime brick, ceramic tiles, and natural stones. The interior needs to be designed so that all the necessary items and accessories in the bathhouse (buckets, ladles, brooms, hats and other bath utensils) are accessible to people washing. It is strictly forbidden to use decorative objects made of plastic or metal in the design.
Do not use objects with sharp corners or materials that form slippery surfaces. This is necessary for safety during bath procedures. This point is especially important for families with young children and elderly parents. For maximum comfort and complete relaxation, it is recommended to decorate the walls, floor and ceiling in warm light colors.
Features of houses in high-tech style
The architectural style is a harmonious combination of the external design of the building, selected finishing materials and interior decoration items. A high-tech house, despite its diversity, is easily recognizable by several details.
The idea is to demonstrate the equipment installed in the house, selecting other finishing elements to match its style and color scheme. High technologies: a “smart home” system, built-in household appliances, an abundance of lighting are the central element of the interior, which is only complemented by furniture and textiles.

The external architecture of such houses consists of regular shapes, mostly cubic. The priority of houses is functionality, which is why buildings often turn out to be asymmetrical, with an abundance of protruding elements. The roof can be partially glazed to increase the level of illumination (a technique known as “second light”) or equipped as a terrace. Large-scale functional elements of premises, such as elevators and stairs, are often located outside the building. Also, rooms are often represented by separate “cubes” connected to each other.
The materials for the construction of such houses are metal, concrete and glass, emphasizing the “futuristic” nature of the building. Interior and construction fashion involves the use of natural materials in the interior decoration of the home, which is why there are also high-tech wooden houses that combine traditional materials and high technology.

The decoration of the premises as a whole is carried out without intricate details and small decorative elements, therefore, on the interior design of the house, the “eye rests”, observing the open spaces and the abundance of natural and electric lighting.
The color scheme of houses is based on two or three main shades, complemented by bright, catchy decorative elements. The overall impression of the houses is somewhat “cold”, and to soften it, primary and auxiliary lighting is generously used, giving the rooms a cozy feel.
Neutral colors and plenty of lighting give the strict geometry a cozy feel. Source luxer-design.ru
The windows in such residential buildings are large, thin frames are used, and frameless glazing is also common. Often, photos of high-tech houses show fully glazed buildings, which gives the buildings an “airiness” and increases the level of illumination.

High-tech style cottage houses: project features
High-tech house designs are distinguished by a laconic image, maximum functionality, ideal proportions, and a harmonious combination of space and light. When designing, constructing, and installing engineering systems, the most advanced innovative technologies are used, so such projects are very expensive to implement, but in the future they are quite economical to operate. Let us note the features characteristic of the exterior of a house in high-tech style:
large sizes, which imply both external freedom and internal space. In this case, the project should provide a minimum of internal partitions

- High-tech opposes itself to styles that use natural materials; high-tech architecture is metal, concrete, glass and plastic
- simple designs, predominance of straight lines and simple shapes, widespread use of cubist and constructivist elements
minimal use of decor, walls are perfectly smooth, no roughness or bulges, no small architectural details
High-tech design is on the crest of popularity today

maximum glazing - large windows, very often a fully glazed facade, which ensures maximum use of daylight. In addition, the glazed facade allows you to visually increase the size of the house, because in this case the adjacent landscape (house area) seems to become a continuation of the house itself
One of the features of a high-tech house is the glazing of the facade

- the vast majority of roofs are flat, with an emphasis on maximum functionality - a usable roof, which allows you to turn the roof into a large recreation area, a place for parties, sunbathing or an outdoor sports ground. Another option is a partially or fully glazed roof that lets in maximum daylight. The advantage of this solution is not only energy savings, natural light increases productivity and stimulates activity
- experiments with lighting - almost the entire facade is illuminated, together with mirror surfaces you can achieve a spectacular flicker

- All engineering communications are not hidden, they even become a kind of decoration of the exterior - ventilation systems, stairs, etc. taken outside, painted and decorated, thereby acquiring aesthetic value
- The facade is monochromatic; materials with a smooth texture, uniform structure and mirror shine are used for finishing. That is why metal, glass, concrete and plastic dominate in the decoration; sometimes facade tiles can be used as decoration.

However, recently, wooden elements have begun to be present in the decoration of facades; the combined version of a plastered facade and wooden cladding looks especially impressive. Wood finishing (this can be a block house, clapboard or wood siding), on the one hand, allows you to slightly soften the uncompromisingness and some detachment and coldness of the exterior, on the other hand, it allows you to harmoniously fit a high-tech house into the surrounding natural (especially forest) landscape .

High-tech houses are becoming more and more popular every day
Another original experiment for those who want to add naturalness to high-tech is the use of laminated timber, which allows you to obtain an even, strict and uniform facade.
Directions
Before you start decorating the space inside the bathhouse, it is advisable to get acquainted with the various styles and modern trends of bathhouse interiors. Let's look at the most popular design examples and their features.
Traditional
Decorating a space in the Russian or Old Russian style involves using natural wood in the form of timber or rounded logs in the interior design. A bathhouse in the old village style is acceptable for a Russian person: in it he feels comfortable and familiar. The walls and floors in the Russian steam room do not require special finishing. Therefore, there is no need to purchase additional materials and decorations here.
The main elements of the Old Church Slavonic style are:
- antique Russian stove or heater in the steam room;
- wooden tubs and tubs in the washing room;
- rough benches and a large wooden table in the dressing room;
- fragrant brooms on the wall.
Bathhouses decorated in rustic or “goblin” style can also be considered among the original Russian traditions. These two original Russian options are characterized by extremely rough furnishings. In the goblin style, you can use imitation forest stumps and snags, clumsy wooden utensils coated with dark varnish. Rustic style is a deliberately emphasized rough processing of wood on the walls and ceiling of a room.
If you happen to visit Krasnoyarsk, be sure to visit the rustic-style bathhouse on Yastynskaya Street.
Country and Provence
For more sophisticated people who appreciate rustic motifs, you can offer a design in country or Provence style. Both of these options echo traditional Russian design due to the lack of luxury and sophistication in the interior. Here the main type of finishing is natural wood with a smoother structure and delicate shades. A mandatory attribute of these trends is furniture made of natural wood, coated with a layer of polishing. It may have elements of carving or painting. American Country and French Provence give out:
- log walls with exposed beams;
- sink lined with ceramic tiles;
- bright bath utensils and dishes;
- curtains made of linen or cotton fabrics of variegated colors;
In addition, the interior may include leather or wrought iron furniture in the recreation area.
Ethnic
They are somewhat reminiscent of country style baths, decorated in a laconic Scandinavian, Norwegian, and German style. Light colors prevail in their design. These interiors are distinguished by simplicity and convenience. The main difference between all these styles is the combination of wood and modern high-tech materials in the decoration of premises.
When choosing this design, it is worth considering that it does not tolerate excesses in decoration.
A minimum of details and maximum comfort is the main motto of Scandinavian, Norwegian and German style.
Minimalism
Equally laconic in decoration is the minimalist style, which involves saving space and also reduces the use of decorative elements and furniture in the bathhouse to an absolute minimum. In the minimalist style, corner baths and small rooms with a built-in mezzanine are often designed. The minimalist style includes the yurt bathhouse, as well as the barrel bathhouse, popular among summer residents.
Modern and Art Nouveau
The interior design in Art Nouveau and Art Nouveau styles is distinguished by an unusual, sometimes shocking design. Such baths are always spacious, they are distinguished by a large number of additional design elements. They are usually built on two floors according to the principle of a kind of castle, placing cozy bedrooms on the second floor. Mandatory attributes of Art Nouveau style bath rooms are the presence of mosaics of bright colors, as well as abundant lighting.
For brutal personalities, you can offer baths decorated more extravagantly. A modern high-tech style will require a spacious area. A distinctive feature of this style are the huge windows in the rest room (almost from floor to ceiling). The outside of the glass is covered with a special mirror film, hiding vacationers from prying eyes. Instead of metal, which is traditionally used in high-tech style, designers use natural wood, processed in high-tech style (most often they use maple timber).
Loft and chalet
The ultra-modern loft style involves brickwork in the design of the walls in combination with natural wood. The main feature of this style is that its urban notes should be combined with comfortable upholstered furniture in the relaxation room. The increasingly popular chalet bathhouses in alpine design are built from natural coniferous trees on a stone foundation. Natural wood and stone are also present in the interior decoration.

Lighting plays a major role in design; sources should illuminate all surfaces as much as possible: the floor, the ceiling, and furniture parts. Top, middle and bottom lights should be used. The central accent will be a metal chandelier with glass shades; simple sconces can be installed on the walls. Zoning areas will be illuminated by beautiful floor lamps; designers suggest choosing an arched shape.
Additionally, spotlights and LED strip lighting are installed on the ceiling. The more unusual and technologically advanced the lighting, the better. You can even use soffits in the interior, which look good in a spacious living room. With the help of lighting, zoning of the room is also done.
How modern style is formed
Of course, the basis for developing the design and appearance of most bathhouse buildings remains national traditions in construction in a particular area. Often, when creating a new original style for a bathhouse, designers have to take into account several determining factors:
- Materials primarily used in a particular region or locality. For example, for a Russian or Finnish bath it will be a timber or a rounded log. For a modern loft-style bathhouse, most of the design will be filled with elements and details of urban buildings;
- Traditions of space planning. A bathhouse built in a modern style cannot be cramped or uncomfortable. Even in small bathhouses, log cabins or houses, it is necessary to provide traditional premises, for example, for a Russian-style bathhouse, most of the building will need to be planned for a stove and a rest room with a dressing room of decent size, with furniture;
- Features of the architecture of a building of a certain stylistic direction. For example, for a chalet-style bathhouse or buildings in Scandinavian design, high ceilings and complex multi-tiered ceilings are usually provided.
Of course, the advanced style of a certain direction is determined not only by the above; the smallest details make a huge contribution to the design and decoration of the bathhouse. For example, the shape and style of bath utensils, furniture, accessories for the steam room, design and decoration of walls and, of course, the organization of the washing process.
Bathhouse in loft style
According to most professional designers, designing a modern loft-style bathhouse is both a complex and simple task. It’s difficult because this is a completely new semi-industrial image of poor urban neighborhoods, there are no traditions and cultural layer from which ideas could be drawn. Simple, because the boundaries of the modern loft style are quite blurred, and you can experiment with the most unexpected objects.
The interior of a bathhouse, decorated in a loft style, is a combination of unexpected colors and finishing materials. For example, a dressing room made of stained cedar, walnut or chestnut can be combined with a steam room lined with gray tiles and aspen.
Some of the most stylish solutions for a paired compartment in a loft style are presented in the photo below.
The heating wall of the fireplace stove, lined with sandstone, treated in a heat chamber to a jet-black color, and the aspen cladding of the walls of the steam room are successfully combined with light-colored furniture and the cedar floor of the steam room. The interpretation of the loft style suggests the possibility of using the most interesting technical innovations, so the use of a thermal glass door does not seem unnatural.
A large number of imitations of brick, wall blocks or rough construction wood are always used in a loft.
For example, one of the methods for constructing the interior of a bathhouse in a loft style involves the use of ordinary construction pine with all the defects, knots and damage to the fibers.
In another project, the dressing room of a small modern bathhouse can be lined with ceramic tiles or polyurethane decor that imitates brickwork.

Chalet-style bathhouse
In terms of their content and recognition, chalet-style bath buildings are rightly considered one of the most striking and expressive. The individual features of the adapted projects include the specific structure of the roof and walls of the bathhouse, the design of the interior space without attic equipment.
Bathhouse structures built in the chalet interpretation adapted to the requirements of the time have their own individual features:
- Roofs with increased roof overhangs and minimal roof space. Thanks to this, the interior of the bathhouse looks very unusual due to the open rafters and struts;
- The presence of a covered terrace at the entrance to the bathhouse;
- Increased sizes of window openings.
Advice! It is easiest to build a bath house in the modern form of a chalet; it is enough to use very sloping, flat gable roofs with a huge roof overhang over the entrance to the room.
The walls can be made of any materials, but if the bathhouse building needs to be as close as possible to the original interpretation of the chalet, then the use of siding with imitation rubble stone or wooden cladding is considered more preferable.
Chalet design is becoming incredibly popular for arranging country baths. A modern building most often houses a steam room, a huge guest room and a carport under a wide roof.
The hallmark of the chalet style - a broken two-level roof can be used to decorate a relatively small modern bathhouse. The wooden beam from which the building frame is constructed fits perfectly with the structure and shape of the roof.
To decorate interior spaces in a chalet style, it is recommended to use natural wood with an artificially aged surface. This technique does not deprive the bathhouse of a high level of comfort and at the same time enhances the perception of the interior of the dressing room or rest room.
It is quite difficult to completely and reliably reproduce the spirit of a chalet in the architecture of a modern bathhouse. A true alpine or mountain design of a building involves dark walls made of aged and burnt wood, and in the designs of most of the most interesting bathhouses, preference is given to light or woody shades.
Bathhouse in Scandinavian style
Modern chalet-style bath complexes have many similarities with the architecture of country houses in Northern Europe. A Scandinavian-style bathhouse with a modern interpretation always looks practical, always in unity with nature, forest plantings, and against the backdrop of ponds.
Unlike a chalet born in the mountains, Scandinavian bathhouse design involves maximum naturalism. For example, to emphasize the stylishness of the bathhouse building, the designers used an unusual technique - the high roof of the bathhouse was covered with real grass.
Bathhouses in the Scandinavian style are replete with a huge amount of aged and stained wood.
Most of the buildings look a little dark, but such a decision is quite justified, since bathhouses are mainly built in the forest or shaded part of the site.
The interiors of Scandinavian-style baths differ from the usual Russian buildings by huge windows, preferably overlooking a pond or a picturesque landscape.
At the same time, the bathhouse itself may be smaller than a 2x2 m area, but the window in a modern window frame takes up 2/3 of the area of the steam room wall.
