Enfilade system. Planning compositional diagrams of buildings

The suite of rooms is a symbol of a brothel, a brothel. If you find yourself in a suite of rooms, then you dream of numerous and varied sexual encounters. meeting someone in a suite of rooms foreshadows an imminent break with this person.

The meaning and interpretation of the “suite of rooms” according to Freud on the site

Sigmund Freud (1856-1939), a famous Austrian psychologist, was one of the most diligent researchers in the world of sleep. His work “The Interpretation of Dreams” reveals many interesting mechanisms of dream activity and contains many examples and analyzes of his dreams and the dreams of his patients. Freud wrote a scientific work in which he promoted the idea that dreams are encrypted messages from our subconscious. These messages are just that: messages, that is, something important that the brain wants to convey to us. And, using scientific methods, they can be decoded. The reaction to the book then, and even now, was mixed. However, the great significance of Sigmund Freud’s work is evidenced by the simple fact that, despite numerous debunkings of the method of psychoanalysis and the development of science, we all - both scientists and ordinary people - know the name of the Austrian psychiatrist.

When designing residential, administrative and other buildings and structures, the order in which various premises will be located in them must be developed. It takes into account the sequence in which various everyday processes associated with the movement of people will take place in the building. A certain connection must be provided between the premises of buildings and structures, and it must be organized in such a way that all persons in it can easily and simply navigate, and communication routes must be as short as possible.

In modern practice of design and construction of buildings and structures, there are several general fundamental schemes in accordance with which their architectural and planning solutions are implemented. These include the following planning schemes:

  • Corridor;
  • Enfilade;
  • Centric;
  • Hall;
  • Sectional;
  • Mixed.
Corridor layout scheme

The main characteristic feature of the corridor planning scheme is that when it is implemented, all rooms are located on two, one, or partly on one, and partly on both sides of a common corridor, which is connected to one or more staircases. If the rooms are located on both sides of the corridor, then windows are installed in the end walls to provide natural lighting. As for the length of common corridors, in buildings designed in accordance with the corridor scheme, it is 20 meters when illuminated from one end and 40 meters when illuminated from two ends.

Corridor compositional scheme

In cases where in common corridors, in addition to natural lighting from the ends, additional lighting is provided with the help of so-called light breaks (that is, widening of the corridors), the distance between these light breaks should not be more than twenty meters. As for the distance between the window and the light breaks at the end of the corridor, it should not exceed thirty meters.

Enfilade layout scheme

The main characteristic of the enfilade layout is that there are no corridors at all. In buildings with such a layout, all rooms are located one after another, in a sequential order, and they are interconnected by doorways located along the same axis. Most often, the enfilade layout is used in palaces, museums, shopping centers, as well as in some other buildings.


Enfilade scheme

Centric compositional scheme

The main distinctive feature of the centric compositional scheme is that its “core” is the main room, which is quite large in size. Around it are grouped auxiliary premises, which have a significantly smaller area. The centric compositional scheme is used in the design and construction of cinemas, theaters, and concert halls.


Centric scheme

Hall layout

A fairly widespread hall layout is characterized by the fact that all functional processes in buildings built in accordance with it take place in a single room. It has a very large area. Based on the hall planning scheme, exhibition halls, indoor markets and other similar objects are designed and constructed.


Hall composition scheme

Sectional layout diagram

The basis of the sectional scheme is that all rooms located in buildings built on its basis are grouped into groups of the same layout, called sections. The sectional scheme is most widely used in the design of residential buildings.


Sectional diagram

Mixed compositional schemes

In the practice of designing buildings, it is necessary to use more complex schemes, which are various combinations of those listed and briefly described above. Most often, their use is determined by special requirements of an individual or technological nature. It is precisely such compositional schemes that are usually called mixed.

In order to properly organize the internal space of a building, it is important to choose the most suitable compositional scheme. In this case, the designer is required to identify which of them will be the most optimal in order to use all the internal volumes of the structure in accordance with their functional purpose.

Before it became an architectural term, the word enfiler was used among jewelers. It meant “to string objects on a thread,” that is, to make beads. Accordingly, enfilade is “that which is strung.” Over time, this word completely disappeared from the use of jewelers, and now it has two meanings left in French - “a series of spatial elements” and “longitudinal fire”. But both expressions have something in common - it is assumed that there is a certain straight line that plays the role of an imaginary thread.

Is any row a suite?

Imagine that you are walking through a large palace. You pass through many halls, each of which has two entrances located exactly opposite. Then you find yourself in a hall that also has two entrances, but one of them is located somewhere in the corner. This door leads to the next room. You go there and see that there is also a second entrance, which is not opposite the first, but to the side. Which group of rooms will be a suite? The first, that is, that row of rooms whose doors are strictly opposite each other. The room where the second door is in the corner is no longer part of the enfilade. Although it is, it does not correspond to the second sign of the enfilade. The enfilade should open up a cross-cutting perspective.

There are enfilades on the street too

An enfilade can be more than just a long row of luxurious rooms. This term generally refers to adjacent architectural spaces through which a certain perspective opens. This could be, for example, courtyards. Many examples of such organization of space can be found, for example, in St. Petersburg. A long row of passage courtyards, the arches of which are strictly opposite one another - this is also an enfilade.

The most luxurious suites

Internal enfilades became especially popular during the Baroque era. Luxury was at a premium. The enfilade gave the owner of the palace the opportunity to show off his wealth to the fullest. The royal and royal palaces, of course, were particularly splendid. Contemporaries were amazed by the luxurious enfilades of the Palace of Versailles and San Sousse. This architectural technique was also popular in Russia. The Winter Palace, the Catherine Palace, the Grand Palace in Peterhof - everywhere you will find suites of magnificent rooms. A similar organization of space was also popular among wealthy citizens. True, the enfilades there were small, and the premises themselves were more modest than in the palaces of the nobility. As for organizing street space in this way, it became widespread in the era of classicism.

The right way to make the interior light and airy or a pointless waste of square meters? We analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the enfilade layout

The enfilade layout was popular during the times of classicism and the second baroque, that is, under Pushkin and Tolstoy. In terms of its structure, it is a series of adjacent rooms, the doorways in which are located on the same axis. The minimum number of rooms included in the suite is three. Such a layout can be done in a modern house, but does this make sense? Designer Irina Krasheninnikova and architect Elena Solovyova talk about the pros and cons of the enfilade.

An apartment with an enfilade layout is always lighter and airier.

Before coming to the “Details” school of interior design, she graduated from the Faculty of Philosophy. He considers the search for the right style to be an important component of the designer’s work, allowing him to create timeless, rational and positive interiors.

By dividing the area of ​​the apartment into rooms and “stringing” them, like beads on a thread, on one axis, you make any apartment visually larger. And if you make an enfilade with a circular walk, then not only will your eyes see a larger area, but your legs will also travel a greater distance.

Your legs, walking around the apartment in circles over and over again, will tell your brain about this and it will seem to you that your apartment is twice as spacious, no matter what size it is. And this is the main advantage of the enfilade layout.

The second plus: an apartment with an enfilade layout is always lighter and airier, since you can see the light from not just one window in each room, but a series of windows.

The third advantage: apartments with a suite unite families, because no one can remain isolated, locked in their own room, everyone walks through neighboring rooms, everyone communicates, hugs and feels like one friendly family.

From the last plus of the enfilade grows its main and, in my opinion, only minus. It is difficult to find privacy in an apartment with an enfilade layout. But this drawback is easily compensated for by the same round trip.

If you manage to design a “service” corridor running parallel to the enfilade, then any of the rooms can be closed and walked around it along the corridor. This corridor, by the way, can be not just a corridor, but also an enfilade in which utility rooms can be placed: a dressing room, a storage room and a bathroom that closes the second enfilade.

In my “Northern Light” project, I used an enfilade layout to functionally zone the apartment, dividing it into adult and children’s “halves.” And also to show off the special beautiful light pouring from the many windows of this apartment.

This story cannot be played out in a small apartment.

Co-founder of Artburo, designs private and public spaces. He believes that there are no minor details in interior design: not only the design of the staircase is important, but also the shape of the door handles.

How to work with an enfilade layout? It all depends on individual wishes. The number of people in the family and the number of children are taken into account. But whatever the customer’s wishes, the main principle is always preserved: the living room is the central room of the suite. Therefore, bathrooms, dressing rooms, bedrooms and children's rooms are moved to the far block (and can form their own enfilade). The central part of the house remains the so-called front suite: hall - living room - study.

In our practice, there were several projects with an enfilade layout, and once we even had the opportunity to work with a classic space where an enfilade layout was used. We were restoring an old manor, the original layout was not preserved, there were no drawings left either, so we worked, one might say, from scratch, applying the principles of the enfilade layout to modern realities.

On the ground floor, the rooms were combined into an enfilade in compliance with all principles, and there was a ceremonial enfilade: a hall, an oval living room, a ceremonial dining room - rooms intended for a large number of people, for receptions.

And the second floor is the master’s part, and here it was necessary to make adjustments, deviating from the canons, because the customers wanted a modern space that would be comfortable for their family to live. Therefore, we moved away from the classic layout, where the office was downstairs and the bedroom was isolated. We connected an office, a bedroom and added a bathroom and a dressing room to them. That is, the bedroom turned out to be the entrance.

The second project was an attic room, where the enfilade layout turned out to be the optimal solution for the customer’s requirements: a family with children, and they needed a common space so that all family members could be together, close by.
