With the end of the long winter months, almost all life activity is transferred from apartments to suburban space. The traditional Russian love for the bathhouse does not fade over the years, but expands the ways of its expression. Now popular are projects to build houses on their own plots “with all the amenities” for civilized recreation and communication. Summer kitchens are placed under the same roof as the bathhouse, creating a kind of relaxation complex where you can combine body-pleasant steam treatments with tea drinking or barbecue. And on days free from bathhouse ceremonies, you can make provisions for the winter there, enjoying communication with nature and loved ones. Standard and individual designs of such universal buildings are in incredible demand. They are quite accessible and easy to implement on your own.
Bathhouse with terrace and billiard room 6×9
A magnificent brick bathhouse with a terrace and a stove imitation of a fireplace will serve as a real decoration for your yard.
The layout of the room is very thoughtful and comfortable and includes not only a steam room, a bathroom and a relaxation room, but even a bedroom.
The main decoration of this room is the billiard room, where you can spend a wonderful time, regardless of the season and time of day.
On the ground floor of the bathhouse there are its main components - a spacious steam room and a washing room, as well as many additional rooms for a comfortable stay.
You can enter the attic using the stairs, which are located in the corridor. The project developers suggest that this will be the ideal place to place a billiard table and comfortable armchairs.
Summer kitchen options
There are two types of summer kitchen construction: detached in the courtyard of a private house and attached directly to the house. Numerous photos of private houses with similar kitchens can be viewed in large quantities on the website.
Autonomous. Such a summer kitchen is a separate building for a private house and is built according to all the rules of an autonomous room. This includes laying the foundation, erecting walls, roofing, electricity, necessary communications in the form of water, a drainage pit, a gas stove with centralized or bottled gas, and a stove. This option is very convenient for the owner of a private house who has a need for additional space if he has a large family, as well as a winter holiday with a fireplace and a sauna, or year-round living. This construction for a private house cannot be called budget, because... it requires the availability of a project and even coordination with the relevant architectural authorities.
Combined. This option is more acceptable for those who have a more modest budget and want to create with their own hands the convenience and comfort of a private country house. In this case, summer kitchens are attached to the main building, representing its continuation. When planning this type of extension to a private house, you need to consider the entrance to the kitchen and the house. At a minimum, there should be two of them: a separate one for the kitchen and one combined with a private house. Optimally, there should be three entrances: to each room and an entrance connecting them to each other
It is also worth paying attention to the wall to which the kitchen adjoins. The windows of a private house should under no circumstances overlook the veranda, because
the room will be doomed to eternal darkness. If you plan to place a stove, sink and other communications in the kitchen, then it is recommended to choose the closest possible location to the sources of water, gas and sewer outlets in the house. This will reduce the length of pipes and the number of metal-plastic and welding joints and save construction costs.
The option of building a separate summer kitchen is most often chosen when they want to place the building in a secluded corner of the garden or near a local landmark.
If the summer kitchen is adjacent to the house, then, as a rule, there are no problems with the supply of utilities
Popular colors
The choice of colors for a summer kitchen largely depends on its location and those objects located nearby. After all, the object must organically fit into the overall concept of the site, combining with the rest of the buildings.
The roofing material is selected based on budget and aesthetic considerations
The main color load is carried by the roof of the summer house. This is the main color “spot”, and therefore the choice of its shade should be deliberate.
As a rule, in such objects, experts recommend giving preference to light colors. There are a number of advantages to this solution. Firstly, the light color allows you to visually increase the size of the space, and secondly, it will organically fit into any interior.
Types of summer kitchens
The simplest option for a summer kitchen is to arrange a ready-made terrace or veranda
On the veranda
For those who would like a summer kitchen on the veranda, it is important to remember that the extension should become an organic continuation of the house. Based on this, you need to choose the style, decor and furniture for the veranda
The appearance of the summer kitchen on the terrace should be combined with the facade of the house
It is not necessary for there to be a complete coincidence, but the buildings should have something in common with each other
The first step is to lay the foundation (its depth must be equal to the depth of the foundation of the house. Otherwise, there is a risk of the extension being torn off in the winter). After this, the wall frame is installed and the external cladding is performed, as well as the roof (single-pitched). The most successful solution is a general roofing covering for the house and extension. In order to let more light and air into the veranda, it is better to choose casement windows or glaze the entire front part or sides.

Attached to a house with a terrace
A kitchen with a terrace - or in other words, an open attached space, is based on the multiple expansion of the porch. You can attach it using special beams that act as supports; they are installed along the wall of the house and covered with a canopy at an angle. If the area is well leveled and there are no problems with water accumulation, then the floor can be installed directly on the ground. The optimal material for it is paving slabs.
Summer kitchen attached to a small country house
You can protect your terrace from bad weather using side partitions, which can be either permanent or decorative.
Attached summer kitchen with solid walls
Arrangement of the dining area in the summer kitchen
Climbing plants on the walls will look especially harmonious; they will not only become a decorative element, but will also add coolness on hot summer days.
Summer kitchen with utility room
It is difficult to imagine a private house or dacha without a change house or, in other words, without a utility room. This is a place where various things, tools and all kinds of household supplies are stored. Often a utility block is combined with a summer kitchen, which can be a very successful and convenient option, and also economical.
Such buildings usually have a frame structure and are inexpensive
As a rule, country cabins consist of one or two rooms and a bathroom - this is the most necessary thing. In addition, if such a building was erected before the construction of the main house, then the utility block can become the location of the construction team and all the necessary building materials.
All rooms are usually arranged under a common roof
The design often includes a canopy used for household needs or even to accommodate a car.
If construction has already been completed, then the utility block can become a full-fledged warehouse. There is also always the opportunity to use your imagination and equip household appliances. block, for example, for a carpentry workshop. In general, such a room in a country house or country house will never be superfluous.
Bathhouse combined with kitchen: construction
The construction of a bathhouse with a summer kitchen begins with the preparation of the construction site. Remove debris, grass and foreign objects. The site is marked for the construction of the foundation in accordance with the building design.
You can familiarize yourself with the foundation construction process in advance.
Important! For this type of building, a strip or pile-strip type of foundation is suitable. The second option is suitable for an area with difficult terrain.
The foundation should stand for 3 to 7 days. During this time, the base acquires up to 80% of its strength. After this, you can begin the process of building walls. The construction technology will depend on the material. Brick or block walls are laid out in accordance with the project diagram. It is important to monitor the level of the walls and maintain order.
The main difficulties arise with timber. One of the characteristics of wood is shrinkage. To avoid the appearance of cracks and deformation of the logs after installing the log house, it must be allowed to stand for some time. The duration depends on the time of year. If the structure was installed in the summer - 12 months, in the winter - 6 months. If it is not possible to withstand the shrinkage period, it is necessary to make 4 cm cuts at the top of the windows and doors. This trick will reduce the size of the cut. The logs will remain intact.
After the walls are erected, the necessary communications can be connected to the structure. Mark the areas where the partitions will be placed.
Roof installation is divided into three main stages:
- Frame installations.
- Installation of sheathing.
- Roof installation.
The technology of roof construction depends on factors:
- Roof type (single-pitched, gable, “curly”).
- Type of roof (tin sheets, tiles, slate, soft roofing).
This stage is the most difficult in the construction process. It is better to entrust it to specialists.
After roof installation:
- install windows and doors;
- insulate the walls, lay the floor;
- install stove equipment in the steam room, install the necessary communication elements for the kitchen;
- produce interior finishing;
- install sunbeds in a steam room;
- install plumbing equipment;
- carry out external finishing of the building.
Important! It is recommended to caulk walls made of timber during the installation process.
Only the main steps are listed here. The list may vary depending on the project and type of heating system. For example, installing a fireplace in a recreation room or installing a cellar in the kitchen requires different skills.
Open plan: its pros and cons
There are several types of summer kitchen. This is a closed room, combined and open kitchen. A closed layout includes a guest house with an entrance and walls, sometimes a bathhouse and a billiard room. The combined kitchen is a partially enclosed room with a seating area and utility room. The most contact area with nature is the outdoor kitchen (its photo can be seen on the website), which has its advantages and disadvantages.
Benefits of an open kitchen
- The main advantage of an open-type summer kitchen is its affordable price, because... This option is considered the most budget-friendly. An open summer kitchen in a country house, photos of which are presented on the website, can easily be built with your own hands. Its layout is quite simple, the process of performing the work is also not complicated, and the materials are not needed in such large quantities. You can use the remaining materials from building a house or renovating an apartment, as well as a huge selection in construction stores or markets.
- After a noisy city with exhaust fumes from an endless number of cars, fresh air seems like nectar. The option of an open summer kitchen, a large number of photos of which are available on the website, will provide this pleasure in full. You don’t want to go into a closed room even for a short time, so many lovers of country holidays prefer an open plan. It is also very pleasant to cook food over a fire without fear of a fire. And food cooked in a Russian oven will outshine the culinary masterpieces of the most expensive restaurant with its specific taste.
- The most important advantage is that the open kitchen is the clearest example of demonstrating its name. Openness in communication with your relatives and friends, welcoming guests and a pleasant conversation with a glass of aromatic wine will provide a boost of energy for a long time. The unique taste of kebabs, steaks, grilled vegetables and other culinary delights cooked on a barbecue or grill will remind you of a pleasant time spent, and the aroma of these delicacies will attract new friends from all over the area.
- Outdoor kitchen projects, photos of which can be seen on the website, demonstrate the excellent ideas of designers for interior design. This is extravagant outdoor furniture made of wood, rattan, lightweight metal and plastic, which is difficult to imagine in a city apartment, a Russian stove, an elegant fireplace, an original barbecue. Outdoor cuisine is very specific in this regard, and this only enhances its flavor. I would like to say a special word about the floristry of this site. An open kitchen provides endless possibilities for anyone who wants to feel like a landscape designer. It can be decorated around the perimeter with bright flowers of the same or different heights, of various varieties and colors, exotic plants or trees, as well as decorative grapes and climbing vines. It would be very wise to plant a cultivated grape variety that will delight you with juicy fruits. Numerous photos of green decorations can be seen on the website.
Unobtrusive designs and a minimum of necessary furniture and equipment will allow you to have a pleasant time cooking and enjoying nature.
Disadvantages of an open kitchen
- The kitchen is constantly exposed to external weather factors, therefore it is subject to constant temperature changes and all kinds of precipitation. Therefore, it is worth making sure that the materials from which it is made are well processed, and that the installation itself is of high quality. Otherwise, under the influence of wind, the structure may collapse, and frequent rains and snow will destroy the structure of low-quality materials. It is also recommended to take care of the summer kitchen before the start of the winter season, especially if there are flowers there.
- A significant drawback is the unprotected working area, so the open kitchen does not provide for the presence of stationary household appliances. People are also unprotected in the event of bad weather. Even the presence of a canopy does not save you from slanting rain and strong wind; cool weather is also not the best friend of a summer area. The abundance of insects will not provide an opportunity to have a normal rest; birds and animals will gladly help themselves to what the owners forgot on the table without asking.
- The main disadvantage of a summer kitchen is its seasonality, because... During the cold season it is uncomfortable to be there.
In an open summer kitchen, furniture made from natural materials is appropriate: rotan, wood or bamboo
Optimal choice of material
Great attention is paid to the material for the construction of a summer kitchen. In any case, you will need cement and sand to fill the foundation. The type of foundation is chosen by the owner depending on the type of structure being built, its expected weight, load and height of the frame racks. The kitchen walls themselves can be made of metal, profiled pipes, or wooden beams.
Open-type buildings are often built of brick or stone, and the free spaces are filled with wooden trellises and green spaces in the form of a hedge. The internal area can be finished with tiles and stone. An epoxy resin floor with bright accents will look very interesting.
Also, before starting construction work, you should prepare:
- Hammers, plane, jigsaw.
- Welding and a grinder if you plan to work with metal surfaces.
- Fasteners (screws, self-tapping screws, metal corners).
- Compositions for impregnating surfaces and decorating future buildings.
- Household appliances, hob, shelves and storage racks, parts for making tables.
Depending on the selected summer kitchen model, the list can be significantly changed and supplemented with other auxiliary tools. It is mandatory to select equipment and furniture for the interior arrangement:
- Stove for summer kitchen. Moreover, it can be not only a gas or electric hob, but also a traditional Russian wood-burning stove. The combination of a summer kitchen with a bathhouse is especially convenient; in this case, firewood is actively used for both rooms.
- Tables and chairs. For optimal operation, you will need not only dining furniture elements, but also countertops for organizing the work area. They can be made of wood, chipboard panels, wooden pallets, stone, and metal. If you use an individual project plan, you can restore old furniture using pigments and epoxy resin.
A number of lamps are useful for lighting: modular spotlights, wall lamps and a traditional chandelier. It is important to ensure that all surfaces are resistant to moisture, temperature changes and are unpretentious in practical care.
Examples of buildings up to 40 m2
If you find a free corner on your plot of land, you can build a small but very functional summer kitchen on it, combined with a bathhouse of up to 40 square meters. m. We present to your attention ready-made projects of such buildings, some of which you will probably “take into service.”
In this case, in the picture above you see a project for a summer kitchen combined with a bathhouse and a terrace. The total area of the building is 32.34 m2. Despite its small size, this structure has everything you need for proper washing, relaxation and cooking.
There is a small steam room, the project contains its exact dimensions of 2400x2450 mm. Adjacent to the steam room is a shower room of the same size. There is a summer kitchen 4200x3400 mm, divided into two functional areas: cooking and relaxation. And of course, there is a small terrace 4200x1500 mm, where you can go out, get some air or take a smoke break.
And this is a project for a super small bathhouse with a summer kitchen, which will occupy an area of only 22.08 square meters. m., a very good option for a summer house and the material for construction will not take much. The dimensions of the entire building are 4800x4600 mm. A structure is erected from timber, wooden boards and slats. There are quite a few similar kitchens with baths, since in such a limited space it is possible to fit everything you need:
- steam room or sauna;
- locker room or dressing room;
- kitchen area and living room;
- veranda.
Bathhouses with kitchen over 40 m2
Those who like to relax in comfort will have to allocate an area for a bathhouse with a larger summer kitchen. In this case, there are no restrictions. There are projects with an area of 45, 50, 60 or even 80 and 100 m2. Such dimensions are worthy of a spacious residential building, not just a bathhouse with a summer kitchen. Here are examples of spacious buildings that combine a bathhouse or sauna with a summer kitchen.
In the picture above there is a bathhouse with a kitchen area of 45.19 m2. The entire building is divided into two parts: closed and open. In the closed part there is a steam room, a wash room, a toilet, a relaxation room and a vestibule, while the open part consists of a spacious terrace and a kitchen area. It is noteworthy that in this unique bathhouse, combined with a kitchen, the cooking area and firebox are located next to each other. The fact is that the stove in this case serves to cook food and at the same time to heat the heater located in the steam room - very convenient and economical.
Well, this spacious bathhouse with a kitchen area has the dimensions of a small residential building of 51.7 square meters. m. In the closed part of the building there is a fairly spacious shower room, a steam room, a spacious dressing room, also known as a relaxation room, a bathroom and a vestibule. Under the open canopy there is a stove, grill, barbecue and a large table with chairs. The structure is made of laminated veneer lumber - this is an environmentally friendly material that retains heat well, which is very valuable for a bathhouse.
This project features a huge bathhouse with a swimming pool and a summer kitchen. The largest room with the pool is 32.3 m2, and the entire building has an area of 94.5 m2. The second largest is the rest room, combined with the kitchen. The latter is allocated a small corner, and the rest of the space is allocated to the sofa and dining table. The steam room in this case is wonderful, spacious and conveniently located next to the relaxation room. There is also a shower room, toilet, pump room, vestibule and a fairly large terrace.
You can see a much less grandiose bathhouse in the picture above. Its area is 66.24 square meters. m. In the corner of the building there is a steam room, next to it is a shower room, a relaxation room and a vestibule. The vestibule opens onto a terrace of 15 square meters. m. There is a grill and a round dining table on it, where you can eat freshly prepared kebab right in the fresh air. The bathhouse was built entirely from calibrated logs and looks simply wonderful.
So, no matter what project you choose, remember that a bathhouse with a summer kitchen is not filled with luxurious surroundings, but with the warmth of the hearts of your friends and relatives. Organize holidays for yourself and your loved ones more often, and a spacious bathhouse is just a means to make yourself and others a little happier!

Baths with summer kitchen: photo
The photographs show examples of finished bathhouse projects combined with a summer kitchen. These are beautiful, functional buildings that will decorate any plot of land.
How to make a summer kitchen with your own hands?
A summer kitchen can be made quite quickly with your own hands. Before construction, you should choose the right place. How to build a summer kitchen? The kitchen manufacturing process involves the sequential implementation of several stages.
Site structure
The plot of land must be leveled, and a place should be provided for water drainage during rain. At this stage, it is planned to supply communications, if provided. If the construction of a summer kitchen is carried out without walls, then there is no need to lay a foundation. For a wooden structure, a columnar base is suitable. For a kitchen made of stone and brick, you need to take care of building a real foundation. A strip foundation is most suitable.
Floor arrangement
First, a sand cushion is made. It is carefully compacted. After this, the sand is covered with crushed stone. A cement solution is poured onto the crushed stone.
Walling
If walls are expected, then brickwork is perfect. Masonry is usually done in brick. A summer kitchen can be built much faster from a wooden frame. In this case, not the walls, but the frame will act as a load-bearing element. Frame elements are fixed using screws. After the frame is ready, the walls are sheathed using boards.
Summer kitchen roof
It can be flat, single-slope or gable. If you want to use the room in the cold season, then provide a thermal insulation layer in the design.
Window installation
If the project includes windows, then the window frame must be mounted into the opening quite accurately. You can use large windows that extend from floor to ceiling. You can install windows closer to the cold weather. You can glaze your veranda or terrace with plastic or wooden windows.
Interior decoration
The interior decoration of a summer kitchen involves arranging furniture and installing the main attribute - the stove. Kitchen flooring is mainly made of planks. Practical ceramic flooring is also used.
It is not difficult to build a summer kitchen at the dacha with your own hands if you follow all the stages of work in the required sequence. Before you start construction, decide on the purpose of the kitchen. You need to know whether the premises will be used in winter.
3937b110f61e0e364b70c2f6ba058c0f.jpe
The size is selected depending on whether the space will be used only for preparing dishes or whether it will also be reserved for the dining room. In addition, the arrangement of a summer kitchen depends on the project budget. The types of materials you will use in construction will depend on your available budget.
DIY kitchen construction
A more budget-friendly option for a summer kitchen in the country is a DIY kitchen. Such a plan eliminates the cost of preparing a drawing, the services of a construction specialist, and sometimes an electrician.
First of all, of course, it is necessary to decide on the model and type of summer kitchen, as well as the site for placing the new building, taking into account all the requirements.
Under one common roof
It’s worth noting right away that ideally a Finnish sauna with a terrace should be located some distance from the country house. Since at a minimum it requires a separate communications system and these are fire safety requirements.
But if you really want to have your own bathhouse with a kitchen and a terrace, but there is no space at all, then it is still worth considering projects that involve combining a private and bathhouse building.
At the same time, you don’t have to worry that such a bathhouse will be worse than your neighbors’. The building will accurately cope with its functional responsibilities, you just need to remember some of the features of such a log steam room with a terrace.
- For a wooden bathhouse with a terrace, it is necessary to design a separate ventilation system;
- The bathhouse needs high-quality waterproofing;
- A separate sewer system must be connected to the building.
Attention! In order for a bathhouse with a large terrace to dry out faster and more efficiently, it is recommended to attach it to the kitchen wall.
It is noteworthy that such advice is suitable both for 6x4 bathhouses with a terrace, which were built in parallel with the house, and for buildings that were attached to a residential building after its construction.
If you really want to get a sauna complex made of timber with a 6x6 terrace, but the possibilities do not allow you to build a separate building, then you can install a smaller copy of the steam room directly in the house. In this case, insulation, ventilation and waterproofing come first.
With summer kitchen or barbecue
Most often, a 5x4 bathhouse with a terrace is attached to a summer kitchen, and this solution has several significant advantages:
- The single structure is used all year round;
- Noticeable savings;
- Additional space for guests;
- Independence from weather conditions;
- Possibility of expansion.
In the case of combining two buildings, in the 4x5 bathhouse itself with a terrace there is no longer a need to organize a large recreation room; its function will be performed by a summer kitchen.
By and large, a bathhouse with a bathroom, a relaxation room and a kitchen is a smaller version of a guest house. If several buildings are under a single roof, then moving between them becomes very convenient, both in summer and winter.
Information. If, during the operation of the bathhouse and kitchen, which are located under one roof, the owner wants to add another functional building, he can do this without any problems. For example, by adding an open terrace or covered veranda to the bathhouse.
In turn, the project, which involves combining a 4x4 bathhouse with a terrace, gazebo and barbecue under one roof, also looks quite interesting.
In this case, the benefit is obvious: with the help of this step, relaxation in the bathhouse rises to a higher level. It is noteworthy that the sauna house itself can be of any size, but the larger the area, the more functional the structure will be.
This project of a bathhouse with a terrace of 8.5x9 m provides everything: a comfortable steam room (6.6 sq.m.), a spacious relaxation room (25.2 sq.m.), and a luxurious terrace (19.6 sq.m. .), on which you can install a brazier.
A separate small room measuring 2.3 sq.m. is allocated here for storing firewood. A small bathroom (2.1 sq.m.) can easily accommodate standard plumbing fixtures, and a vestibule measuring 2.3 sq.m. makes a winter trip to the bathhouse more comfortable.

161cce9d7e8db86bb3a19c4ed079329b.jpe
So, a project like this proves that combining a 6 5 bathhouse with a terrace and other buildings is a good idea that can be brought to life without any problems.
Tips for organizing a seasonal kitchen
In order for a seasonal building to become a favorite place to spend time not only for the housewife, but also for all household members, it is important to adhere to the following recommendations:
when determining a place for a summer dining room, it is important to place it away from the poultry house, compost and yard toilet; It is better to install the structure under trees that will provide shade and orient it to the north so that the bright sun does not shine through the windows; in a lightweight building, the task of washing dishes will be greatly facilitated by a small electric water heater; It is better to choose plastic furniture (it is easy to clean and does not attract insects); building floors are usually covered with linoleum or tiles, this greatly simplifies cleaning.
Kitchens with open terrace
A summer kitchen with a cozy terrace will become a real decoration of a private yard or summer cottage. On a platform paved with stone, brick, tiles or wood, you can install a compact sofa, ottoman or sofa, a couple of rocking chairs and several night lights with dim light.
The terrace can be a great place for arranging a greenhouse or a beautiful flower garden. And the presence of coniferous crops will provide not only stylish decor and design of the summer kitchen, but will also help absorb unpleasant odors (from outside or from the work area).
