Many people have already heard about different models of aedicule, but not everyone knows what it is and how it can be a great constructive differential in house projects. Therefore, it does not matter which of the aedicule models you have chosen for your home. The important thing is to bring a well-made building that takes advantage of the dead space in the back of the land to bring more functionality to the resident and even to visitors.
The aedicule is a wild building element for those who dream of adding a leisure area and do not have space inside the house or want it to be separated so that visitors do not see the intimacy of the house. Therefore, it can be used to complement the pool even with changing rooms, bringing a barbecue or gourmet area and even adding a living and dining room outside
The aedicule also serves as a pantry or an extra bedroom to accommodate visitors with more comfort and privacy, and may even have a private room or kitchen for support. Or for those who like handicrafts, a sewing or arts atelier. For those who work from home, the aedicule can also serve as a great office, and if it has an independent entrance, it is better, as it allows to receive clients outside the home, without interfering with the family’s routine.
Thus, what characterizes the construction is that it is positioned at the bottom of the land, and often presents an entrance separate from the main house, which may be on the side of the land or on the back street. It is worth remembering that construction in some parts of Brazil is also known as half-water.

What is Aedicule?
After all, what are the aedicules? It means a small house, which is at the bottom of the lot. In the past, as it was composed of a bedroom, living room, bathroom and kitchen, the house served as an extra source of income, as it could be rented as it had an independent entrance.
Today, the use is quite different, the aedicula is used as an extension of the main house. Serving as a laundry, storage of materials and even as a leisure space, there are aedicules with barbecue facilities, aedicules with a gourmet kitchen or adicules with a swimming pool, for example.
However, despite being outside the main house, the aedicula also counts as a built-up area. Therefore, it is important to verify the legality for the construction of a house, as it may extrapolate the total built-up area (ATE) of the lot.

House Model Plan
There are several ways to design the aedicule and it will all depend on the shape and size of the land where it will be chosen. It has projects measuring 4.5 x 8 m, complete with living room, kitchen, dining room, bedroom and bathroom. Projects with a smaller dimension can only house the leisure area.
To help you choose between the aedicula models, we have separated some floor plans that show that it is possible to build on the most varied types of terrain.

Building Projects
After we present some plans of aedicules, it is easier to imagine the one that is most suitable for the project possible in your land. This is what determines the best among the aedicula models. In addition to the usability of the environments, if the family is a party, a gourmet area is essential.
Here are some cool tips:
- If the project has a barbecue and bathroom, the ideal is that the door does not face the dining area, thus avoiding any discomfort caused by bad smells.
- In the case of a house with a swimming pool, the construction of a male and female bathroom with shower is recommended, so that guests can drain the chlorine water before getting dressed again.
- In the case of gourmet areas, it is necessary to think about the entire electrical structure, with outlets for the refrigerator, freezer and other equipment.
