Construction of towers in the history of construction

A tower is a narrow, elongated structure topped with a spire. It can be either an individual building or an element of a complex structure. They have been used in construction for many centuries in a row. The most ancient examples of the construction of cone-shaped structures are the towers of Egyptian fortresses. Such buildings were erected in a rectangular shape and ended with peculiar battlements. Unfortunately, such architectural phenomena have disappeared from the face of the earth, remaining only in ancient legends and manuscripts.

The ancient fortress consisted of walls and towers attached to them. They were used in the Roman Empire and Byzantium. Later, the design was borrowed by Europeans and used for the construction of places of detention.

Domestic architecture did not stand aside either. Elements of fortresses with towers built according to the Byzantine type have survived to this day.

In the Middle Ages, when there was a need to defend against the enemy, towers began to be attached to massive brick spiritual structures. They were used as an observation post and shelter for children and women. Excellent evidence of this is the Spassky Cathedral in Chernigov, cathedrals in Novgorod and others.

Ancient art complemented the towers with clocks. It was thanks to antiquity that they appeared in houses and train stations, complemented by clocks. Currently they are still as popular. They are used in the construction of lighthouses, water reservoirs, and for astronomical research. But tower construction technology is especially in demand in the construction of private buildings. Projects with photos allow you to visually imagine the future construction of a house with towers. The most famous object of tower construction is the Eiffel Tower, which is 300 m high.

Modern castle: style and nobility

The design of a house with a tower, built in the form of an ancient medieval castle, is able to satisfy all the requirements of a modern person. Projects of modern houses may differ significantly from each other, but they have the same advantages:

• an unusual design solution for the construction of an individual house that meets the needs of a modern person;
• exquisite stylistic direction, which is conveyed in every element of design and external design;
• possibility of construction with different parameters. You can build a house of different sizes and shapes;

Tower construction options

Structurally, it can be erected:

• round, created as a living room. Very often, spiral staircases leading to the upper floor or attic are installed in them. The walls of such a tower are topped with small window openings. A new trend in home construction is the construction of glass towers. This direction is just in its infancy, becoming increasingly in demand;
• square, which is created as a bedroom or office. In some projects, a square tower is used as a living room;
• rectangular, which can perform the same functions as a square tower.

They can be built at different heights and be smaller than the building or have the same height as it. The number can also be unlimited, but the most common are houses with two towers.

Construction of a house with towers

When building a house in the style of an ancient castle, it is worth using the services of a landscape designer, because the site should be decorated in the same style. In addition, a castle-shaped house requires free space. If this feature is not taken into account, the castle will simply clutter the site. An incorrectly determined construction site can distort the future building beyond recognition.

Once the construction site has been determined, you can proceed to the creation of design documentation. Of course, you can create a project yourself. But it is still worth using the services of professionals who have the necessary knowledge and skills. And only after approval of the project can the construction of a private house begin.

A house built according to such a project will be the pride of its owners. Its appearance is intriguing and fascinating, because the house exactly matches the appearance of medieval castles, albeit smaller. The size of the building may vary depending on the available space on the site.

Experts do not recommend erecting more than 4 towers when building a castle, although their number can be any. With a large number of towers, the building often looks rough and unattractive. Structurally, a house can consist of different shapes and elements. The combination of a semicircle and a rectangle allows you to create a beautiful solution.

In addition, on the building materials market you can purchase special bricks that are used specifically to create rounded shapes. Building a house out of brick won’t pose any particular problems, as long as it’s a quality project. A brick house with a tower, the design of which can be purchased ready-made, will become a reliable fortress for all family members.

Today, the most popular option for building a castle is frame construction. This technology has been used in the West for many decades, and in our country it has been widely used for decades. The frame for a house can be either metal or wood. But special attention is paid to the choice of facing material. As a rule, it is decorative or natural stone. With this solution, the house looks like a real castle of reduced size.

Another interesting option is a house project with a tower and a garage. Such complex construction not only increases comfort (who wants to get to a separate garage in winter), but also reduces construction costs (you can save on pouring a single foundation, a joint wall, and installing a heating system).

Having read fairy tales about beautiful princesses and courageous knights of the Middle Ages in childhood, many cherish the fairy-tale dream of having their own palace. Over time, everything is forgotten, but, for example, after a holiday abroad, inspiration is reborn. Many are fascinated by ancient architecture, because sometimes even hotels are created in a palace style.

England, Romania, and France are often saturated with such buildings. So our customers bring with them the dream of building a cottage-castle on their site.

Do you value luxury? Do you want to live in a real castle without sacrificing comfort? Building a house in the form of a palace will be an exceptional option. It will not only look majestic, but also exclusive, because it will be quite difficult to find someone similar. This is a huge plus of such a castle-cottage. But it is necessary to follow according to personal developments.

In fact, the castle will look majestic and representative on an area of ​​at least 300 square meters. But it all depends on the planning decisions that have to be made inside the structure. Without such architectural elements as towers, windows of a certain shape, and appropriate design, it is impossible to imagine a castle house.

You have the opportunity to make your childhood dream come true! InnovaStroy specialists will help you build a country house in a castle style in any design.

Projects of elite cottages and estates can be very diverse. Cottage castles win hearts with their pomp, scale and original design. The following styles have successfully proven themselves, in which majestic buildings are erected.

Classic castle style house

The architectural direction of the 18th-19th centuries was Classicism. Here the emphasis is on natural forms, the vault becomes low and flat, and modeling is used. Often buildings take the shape of U, W, U, and there must be a beautifully designed garden with a tiled path. It is quite difficult to arrange a courtyard when choosing a square-shaped structure, but it all depends on the terrain.

The roof must be flat and there is a parapet that serves as a decorative element. Straightness, proportionality of forms, majestic columns and stucco at the corners of the building are the basis of an elite house in the castle style of the Classical era. That at that time, as now, the design largely depended on the capabilities and wishes of the owner; it showed his wealth, position in society, and taste.

The building has 2 or 3 floors with stained glass windows. And it is not at all necessary to plan the construction of a pompous structure for it to look like a real castle. Having withstood all the moments, experienced specialists will be able to convey everything on small buildings. Previously, castles were built from earthen blocks (soil block, earthen construction). The choice was justified - it was cheap and cheerful, the soil located right on the site could be used. In addition, earth is an environmentally friendly material, it does not burn, and this became a compelling argument in favor of this type of construction.

Today, the basis for construction can be brick, foam block, aerated concrete or shell rock. They all have excellent strength and fireproof characteristics.

Luxury houses in Gothic castle style

Bright, unusual, significantly different from the classic ones. Incredible decoration with gilding, glass, natural stone, stained glass, as well as spiers rising above the buildings - a feature that is necessarily taken into account in the Gothic projects of elite houses in the castle style.

Such buildings are characterized by semicircular windows, sometimes the size of the floor. The design is characterized by stained glass windows, the palace-cottage becomes unusual, the rooms inside are bright and spacious. For exterior decoration, it is customary to use purple, blue-black, gold, ruby, and silver shades; for interior decoration, brown, blue, yellow, green, and red colors are used.

Previously, each country was characterized by its own special direction in Gothic. But later the direction of construction of the palaces acquired one single direction; the buildings were distinguished by their pointed tops and the direction of all lines upward. The stained glass windows had a lancet appearance; a popular distinctive feature was the “stained glass rose”.

Today, the scale of construction in this style is small. D oma in castle style Gothic styles have pointed roofs and stained glass windows. For the latter, metal or wood were previously used, but in our time it is already possible to install metal-plastic. All architectural forms are capable of conveying modern durable materials (foam and aerated concrete, brick, monolith).

Maybe your option is a country house in a Baroque castle style?

Do you want your “palace” to radiate power, luxury, and amaze with its bizarre, unusual shapes? It is the houses built in this style that differ:

• dynamism;
• solemnity;
• pomp;
• pomp.

Sometimes there are color mixtures and contrasts, which was previously particularly evident in large-scale construction.

And if, for example, in houses of the Classical era everything is clear and understandable, then elite houses in the Baroque castle style are distinguished by interesting ensembles. This is especially true for the uneven distribution of floors throughout the palace. In a two-story building there could be a terrace on the second floor, comfortably located on the “ceiling” of the first.

Baroque is characterized by fuzzy lines, both during construction and the design itself (active use of sculpture and modeling).

Original designs of houses in the Renaissance castle style

A feature of Renaissance palaces is the emphasis on decorative aspects to a greater extent than on the constructive part. The decoration has always amazed us with its unusualness and luxury. For example, the following was actively used in this case:

• marble for laying outside;
• sandstone;
• black or white wood;
• ivory;
• natural stone.

All ornaments applied to the walls are carefully thought out and taken from ancient culture. A wide variety of colors can be preferred, both contrasting, bright, rich, dark, and soft, light. Previously, pastel, cool shades were mainly used. The forms of the palaces from the Renaissance are similar to those built in Classicism.

House project in a castle style as a decoration for any site

Thanks to the massive roof, carefully thought-out facade decorations and other architectural details, your home can become a unique creation. Specialists in process cottage design will make a clear calculation of future loads on the foundation. Based on this, the most suitable type of foundation and building materials will be selected. And the latter should not only ensure the reliability, durability, and stability of the building, but also maximally correspond to the given image - the castle style of the residential building you have chosen.

Interesting silhouettes of towers, elaborate architectural forms together with massive and majestic walls create incredible charm and add a “zest” to your palace home.

Plus, the layout will be well thought out and modern engineering solutions will be provided. In the house, energy-efficient systems will work harmoniously and only in your favor, the microclimate is guaranteed to be as comfortable as possible, and the atmosphere will be cozy and inviting.

A garage, a boiler room, essential spaces for daytime use, as well as evening gatherings for the whole family - every detail will be carefully thought out. These are, for example, premises that can be located on the ground floor. The second one is quite suitable for personal rooms, an office, a bathroom and a spacious bathroom. The attic, which is designed in the form of turrets, will perfectly serve as a playroom, a relaxation room, or a winter garden.

Whatever style you choose for your castle cottage, the common features of such houses are massive walls and a minimum of external decorations. A feature of this direction in construction is strength and stability.

It is important to consider that the appearance of the building must be combined and match the style in the interior and in the design of the landscape around it. For interior decoration, wall paintings, mosaics and other elements are often used that the client deems necessary to recreate in his home.

How to save money on block construction?

We do not promote materials, technologies or manufacturers!

Application of a pile foundation with a grillage.

Most of our projects contain a monolithic slab, which is a universal foundation and is suitable for most types of soil. Bored piles with a monolithic grillage strip are the most affordable solution, but to implement this solution you need to provide a geological report, which you can order from us or any other company. This type of foundation sometimes cannot be applied to houses that are too large and heavy. Savings, compared to a stove, reach up to 40%.

External wall pie - aerated concrete and plaster.

There is a huge misconception that the actual cost of building a house is affected by the wall material. This is not true! The cost of a house is not a large percentage of all expenses for a house. The biggest expense items are the foundation and the roof, but you can even save on the walls if you choose aerated concrete as the wall material and finish the façade with plaster. For example, walls made of aerated concrete are 20% cheaper than ceramic ones, and finishing with plaster is 30-35% cheaper than brick, but this percentage can also be reduced due to the choice of expensive brands.

Metal tiles as roofing material.

If you compare metal tiles with soft roofing (flexible tiles), then when comparing different manufacturers it turns out that metal tiles, as a separate material, will sometimes be a little more expensive or equal in cost to soft roofing tiles. It seems that if there is no difference or it is small, then you should choose a soft roof. In fact, a roof made of flexible tiles will be 20% more expensive than one made of metal tiles, because... For this type of roofing pie, OSB plywood, underlay carpet (additional waterproofing) and other components are used.

Today, the castle style includes several directions - Gothic, Romanesque, Baroque, Renaissance. Each direction has been formed over centuries and has its own distinctive features.

Among the features related to each direction, the following architectural features can be distinguished:

• large forms with massive wall structures;
• arched or rectangular window openings;
• functional and balanced decorative elements;
• numerous decorative elements of the facade;
• individuality in every detail;
• the roof has a complex geometric shape, since houses in most cases consist of several buildings.

The castle style projects themselves are captivating. They are distinguished by a certain originality, which is difficult to trace in other style solutions. The facades are finished with stone, which opens up wide possibilities for design imagination.
