Growing Manor Houses – an Important Direction for Solving the Housing Problem in Russia

The article considers growing manor houses made of cellular concrete for construction in rural localities, urban-type settlements, in small, including historical cities, on suburban areas, as well as as housing for service personnel on transport and energy highways and facilities. The low cost of growing manor houses is provided due to the relatively low cost of the main material – cellular concrete, the economy of the adopted space-planning solutions and the ability to perform construction works on their own without involving lifting mechanisms. Additional economic efficiency is achieved through the stage-by-stage construction, which reduces the developer’s one-time investment. Research and developments conducted show that the concept of «growing house» most fully makes it possible to combine the planning parameters of residential and utility rooms, their high consumer qualities, functional amenities, comfort of living with the material capabilities and demographic needs of the developer. Schemes of stage-by-stage transition from a two-room to a five-room house are presented.
