Welcome to the Home Design Education Center. Let's get acquainted. My name is Vitaly Zlobin, I am a practicing architect and head of a design company. I have two diplomas of higher architectural education and postgraduate studies at the Moscow Architectural Institute, plus 10 years of experience as a practicing architect. I started out as a humble assistant architect and now lead the design team. Together we create projects of country houses, according to which builders build houses without delay and questions.

I have always been interested in optimization and automation of project activities. This allowed us in a short time to enter the production of 4-5 individual complete projects of capital houses with an area of ​​200-500 sq.m. per month, while the average architectural bureau does no more than one or two.

I put my experience into this site and various training programs. Dozens of students have already used them, having gained invaluable experience in creating projects for country houses. The algorithm for creating a country house project, tested by professionals, became available to students. Our site continues to be filled with interesting and useful information.

Don't forget to add me as a friend Facebook.

Course presentation

Format: individual training.

Attention! The course is not suitable for collective purchase, because 30% of the information is given by the architect personally in individual work with the student. This is protection against piracy and taking into account the individual requirements of the student, who concludes an official contract before taking the course and receives a personalized certificate upon completion.

5 stages The course will teach you how to make projects of country houses for construction. You will know common mistakes. You will understand which algorithms are important in your work and study them. You will master the tools for creating a country house project already at the first stages of training. Each stage includes recorded lessons, handouts, group lessons and individual work with the teacher.

Attention!!! We teach the design of detached residential buildings with no more than three floors, designed for one family.

The course is designed for

1. Customers about to build their house.

Who knows better what your dream home should be like? Of course, only you! So why can't you make a project? Control the costs of construction, foreman and workers?

If you don't know how to make a house plan and save up to 500,000 rubles on design and construction, then right now you can go through the path of creating YOUR project from A to Z and see all the pitfalls with an experienced architect. This will allow you to save up to 30% of the construction cost.

2. interior designers.

Expand your professional competence and create country house projects yourself. Do you often have to work on a ready-made architectural project? And this is the framework for any design idea. After all, the architecture of the house (shape, style, materials) already dictates the concept of interior design.

If you have an architectural education, but you are engaged in interior design, you cannot make a full-fledged project of a country house without practice. The course gives a 100% practical approach. Are your customers often interested in a house project? I think yes. So answer them positively and start earning more on your services.

3. Builders.

Your knowledge and skills will be a good help for gaining new knowledge and developing the skills of a practical designer. How often have you had such that the customer asked about the possibility of developing a project, and you answered him with a refusal? Have you often had to build and carry out finishing without a project? If you could make projects yourself, it would solve a lot of problems. Build according to your projects and offer a full range of services to your customers.

In order to make sure whether you need this course or not, answer the following questions:

1. Do you want to create your own country house project, made according to all the rules and standards?

2. Have you looked through a bunch of magazines and websites in search of beautiful houses, but, in the end, came to the conclusion that they also need to be designed correctly?

3. Have clients approached you for the design of country houses?

4. Did you refuse them because of doubts about your abilities?

5. Do you make projects by hand (draw on the cells in a notebook), but would you like to own computer programs?

6. Do you know how to build a house, but do not know how to make a project according to all standards?

7. Do you lack the knowledge and skills to reach a higher level of designing country houses?

The course consists of the following steps

❖ Stage 1 ❖

Learning the program for creating layouts >>>

A powerful package for BIM-design, which combines the ability to create drawings with any degree of detail and create a 3D model. And all this without leaving one program! A user-friendly interface and a well-functioning design system will be understandable even to people who are farthest from creating projects for country houses (the current version is in the lessons of ArchiCAD 16 or 17).

In the ArchiCAD program you will learn drawing (creating layouts). You can easily arrange drawings in any format.

The result is the skills and abilities of fast and high-quality drawing:

After studying the 1st stage, you are guaranteed to be able to work in the field of design, carry out drawings of country houses. However, in order to learn how to create country house projects, you yourself need to go through the following stages of the course.

❖ Stage 2❖

Learning 3D modeling and visualization tools (creating photorealistic images) >>>

After you learn how to create layouts for country houses, you need to explore the possibility of 3D modeling and a visualization package. Photorealistic images are the cover of your project, this is what customers look at first.

We continue to study ArchiCAD, but for 3D modeling:

Then Artlantis:

There is also a special opportunity to study:

Inferior in terms of capabilities to the ArchiCAD program (it is not a BIM design program), but it wins in the simplicity and speed of creating a project. The program is more suitable for draft design. In it, you can quickly and efficiently create a 3D model of a country house and schematic drawings. And most importantly, this is a built-in Vray plugin for photorealistic rendering.

Result:

After passing the 2nd stage, your arsenal will be significantly enriched. Now you can not only make drawings, but also create photorealistic images of projects.

❖ Stage 3 ❖

Fundamentals of architectural design of cottages (creation of an album with sketch drawings) >>>

In order for the customer to understand what his future home will be like, an album with a Draft Design is needed. In this project you advertise yourself: its individual design, content and availability of your contact details - all this is the best calling card of you and your business. This album displays all the information on a country house in the form of schematic images of the site plan, plans of all floors, sections, facades, as well as the selection of finishing materials. The stage is divided into large parts:

Part 1. Fundamentals of drawing in architectural design.

Part 2. The premises of the house and the algorithm for creating convenient layouts.

Part 3 Volumetric-spatial and constructive modeling of the house.

Part 4 Rules for designing an album with a draft design of a country house.

Part 5 Scheme of the planning organization of the land plot (master plan scheme).

Result:

After passing 3rd stage, when you design your first country house as part of the stage, you will understand the whole logic of creating a project and are guaranteed to be able to carry out Draft designs of country houses.

After you know the composition of the project and the basics of design, you can go to a higher level and build luxury homes:

However, it will be difficult to build according to your drawings, because. working drawings of a country house are needed. You will learn how to perform them in the following steps.

❖ Stage 4❖

Specialization in design by choice and calculations >>>:

1. Wooden frame houses;
2. Stone houses (houses made of foam blocks and bricks).

The market is arranged in such a way that it is more profitable for beginners to start working in one narrow design niche and achieve results in it. So there are more chances to gain a foothold and find your target audience. Study the design features in one or more of the most popular niches in Russia and the CIS countries and you are guaranteed to become a specialist in your chosen niche.

Specialization gives in-depth understanding of a particular construction technology. The project must take into account all the design features of the technology. The type of foundations, wall thickness, span width, etc. depend on this. The material also affects the value of the house and planning decisions. You have the opportunity to study two specializations.

The stage is under constant development. I record videos on new construction technologies, materials and calculations, and also conduct private webinars.

See an example of calculating wooden floor beams and roof rafters.

❖ Stage 5❖

Project for the construction of a country house (creation of an Album with working drawings) >>> .

So, you own design programs, you know how to create a draft design of a country house using various building technologies. Now it's time to learn how to create a working draft of a country house. These are the drawings that builders receive, and according to which they build a country house.

Result (approximate amount of documentation):

An example of the implementation of our working project of a house in the village. Maryino, 2014 (click to enlarge)

Author and course leader

• A man who connected his life with suburban architecture.
• Author and presenter of courses and trainings on the design of country houses.
• Head of the design and construction organization HOMESPRO:

How much does it cost? - choose a program:

Is it expensive or not?

For customers who want to design their own house on their own: compare the cost of training with the cost of designing a country house in companies - this is about 800-1200 rub/sq.m. In addition, do not forget that during the training you will gain invaluable experience and architectural and construction knowledge, which will allow you to control the entire construction process and not overpay.

For designers who want to learn how to design country houses: the price of education in an architectural and civil engineering university is about 200-300 thousand rubles per year, multiply by 5-6 years of study and compare with the cost of our courses.

Obviously, the sooner you start taking the course, the it will be better for you, because the prices for expert knowledge in the field of suburban construction are rising every year.

Guaranteed learning outcomes

Official contract

Training cannot begin without the conclusion of a formal contract for any of the programs. The appendices to the contract spelled out the phased structure and the result of training.
