Beautiful houses with an attic. With veranda and terrace

To begin with, it is worth understanding what an attic is and how it differs from an attic. Both of these rooms in the house are located under the roof. Many often confuse them, because they do not see the difference. The attic floor is the last in the house, it is located directly under the roof, but is designed for people to live at any time of the year. It must be insulated, supplied with electricity, water and heating. The facades of the attic and attic are completely or partially formed by the roof. The main difference between the premises and the second or third floor in a cottage or a country house is the height of the walls. It means the distance from the floor to the intersection of the facade with the roof. It should not exceed 1.5 m, according to the conditions prescribed in SNiP. If the height is a little more, then this is already a full-fledged floor.

The attic is a cold, non-residential area. It can be equipped with summer rest, but it is not possible to winter in such a room. Usually in attics they equip storages of unnecessary things. However, the practice of warehousing trash is gradually fading away. If the room is intended for the location of communications, a boiler room, engineering equipment, then the attic is called a technical floor. They are more common in apartment buildings. Another important difference between the attic and the attic is the presence of large windows, sometimes even built into the roof. For non-residential premises, lighting is not of great importance. Projects of houses with an attic can be purchased ready-made from design bureaus. The only way to get a free plan is to prepare it yourself, which will require a certain amount of knowledge. Let's talk about the design features of the attic floors, options for their arrangement and popular styles that embody under the roofs of houses.

Features of attic floors

The project of a house with an attic is ideal for those who want to use the area of the building to the maximum. In this respect, the additional living space is similar to the basement. Previously, basements were used exclusively for storing trash and equipment. Now basements are equipped with game rooms, home cinemas, garages, saunas or laundries (as in typical American houses). It is impossible to build an attic without a plan-drawing. Everyone can really cope with construction work, although even here they often turn to companies that practice the construction of turnkey facilities. But to correctly calculate the loads on the foundation, think over the location of all structural elements, calculate the consumption of materials, only a professional who has experience and a baggage of specialized knowledge can do it.

Before construction, several sketches are prepared - in section and with different points review, and at the same time indicate the scale. The location must be marked on the drawing. window openings, entrance stairs, communication lines, indicate the shape and indicate the dimensions. The most popular configuration among attics is rectangular or square. A simple task seems only in words. Getting down to business, the layman is lost and does not even know where to start. The attic attracts with an abundance of light and fresh air. Its outer "box" includes two components:

Vertical (frontal) walls. They are usually made from the same material as the facade of the house, as they are its logical continuation.
Inclined wall (side). It "begins" with vertical surface(attic wall), and then the roof truss system serves as its frame. Cast outer skin roof protrudes from the ceiling. To increase the attic area, change the angle of the roof and increase the height of the attic walls.

In wooden cabins vertical walls built from wood. If the building is brick, then brick is also used for the attic. Sometimes vertical walls are sheathed decorative materials to match the rest of the façade. This is necessary in cases where you need to update the exterior to fit it into landscape design suburban area, or when the building itself has an unsightly appearance. For example, it was erected from expanded clay concrete, gas silicate, expanded clay, cinder blocks or gas blocks. Such materials have an unattractive appearance and are necessarily masked under a layer of finishing. For these purposes, use porcelain stoneware, siding, decorative panels "under the brick" or stone. Sometimes the outside walls are trimmed with wood. The material looks very beautiful, but it is less practical than more durable counterparts. Insulation becomes a prerequisite for arranging an attic. Part of the task of keeping the heat in the room is assigned to decorative trim that protects the walls from the outside. Inside, they are covered with heat and vapor barrier, between the layers of which mineral wool and polystyrene are placed. Then communications are carried out and finishing is carried out. Further, the design and distribution of functional areas on the attic floor, furniture placement, and decoration come into play.

There is also such a thing as a half-attic. This is originally a residential floor, which is combined with the roof. The design has expressive architecture and original appearance. The semi-mansard floor is also used for permanent residence. The height of its walls does not exceed 0.8 m.

Advantages and disadvantages of houses with an attic

The attic floor has both a number of advantages and a small list of disadvantages. The advantages include the following aspects:

If the arrangement of the attic was not originally included in the plans for the construction of the house, then due to it living space you can multiply even without leaving the dacha or cottage. The construction will proceed on its own, and the rest of the rooms can still be used, that is, the construction is carried out independently. This practice is quite common when the family grows and housing becomes too cramped over time. This, perhaps, is the main advantage of the additional mezzanine.
Properly equipped attic will help reduce the heat loss of the building. This will lead to a reduction in the load on the heating system and more economical energy consumption.
The original architectonics of the ceiling is ideal for unusual modern trends, where the configuration is the basis of the composition.
The best insolation. Since the attic is a priori higher than any other room in the house, it receives more light. If the windows are built into the roof, then the sun's rays enter the room directly even at noon.
The attic opens up wide possibilities for space planning. Initially, the floor does not have internal walls, therefore, the decision on the placement of rooms, their dimensions (width and length) is made only by the owners of the house. The layout does not require the demolition of partitions or significant changes. You can create zoning literally from scratch.
Good ventilation. The height at which the attic is located contributes to rapid air exchange.

The disadvantages include the following factors:

The need for air conditioning in hot summers. The roof heats up very quickly and gives off heat to the attic, located closer to the rest of the rooms. Unfortunately, in hot weather, in the absence of air conditioning, there will be a real “steam room”, like in a bathhouse.
Some psychologists believe that not having a traditional "smooth" ceiling over their heads, many people may experience discomfort. The complex architecture of a sloping roof looks very unusual and beautiful, however, an excessive pile of details can really cause irritation over time. The configuration is easy to correct with the help of a special finish, decor, color scheme.
The high cost of special skylights, which will have to be bought for spacious rooms, where openings on the gables alone will not be enough.
With mistakes in construction, decoration, and thermal insulation, you can get a “cold” attic, which even the most powerful heating boiler will not save in winter.
The accumulation of snow in winter on the glass of skylights, which will create an obstacle for light to enter the room.
No type of soundproofing will completely eliminate rain "rustles" - the sounds of drops colliding with the roof. And it does not matter what type of coating is selected (soft or hard). Although psychologists believe that the sound of water has a healing, calming effect, sometimes it can be very annoying.

By the way, another advantage can be considered simplicity when placing a fireplace or stove. Furnace heating can also be considered as an option. So it will be possible to save on the consumption of other resources (gas, electricity) and create comfortable conditions in the attic winter time with the help of "live fire" from coal or firewood.

Attic floor device

To properly plan, you need to consider a number of the following factors:

Living space. Its dimensions directly depend on the type of roof. Some varieties create too many zones that cannot be used appropriately. by the most economical option hip roof is considered. Its truss system, in contrast to the gable system, allows you to use every meter of the attic without "deaf" zones.
Budget. If it is very modest, then you will have to be content with a shed roof, as it is one of the cheapest options.
Snow and wind load. Precipitation should slide freely from the roof, and not accumulate on it. In this case, slope matters. If it is calculated incorrectly, then precipitation will create an additional load on the roof, which it may not withstand.
Choice suitable material for the truss system. Many mistakenly believe that wood falls under the taboo. In fact, SNiP allows the use of a tree if it has been properly processed beforehand. Here, the condition regarding the maximum height of the building is also observed - no more than 75 m, that is, an increased number of storeys. Of course, for private households, such figures are considered sky-high. On average, even for every three-story house there are more than twenty ordinary one-story buildings.
Condition of the foundation and facade. It takes into account not only the material from which the house was built, but also the terms of its operation, additional loads, general form(presence of cracks or other damage). Based on this, a specific truss system and material for the roof are chosen.
Loads on the walls of the house and the foundation. Some types of roofs (single-pitched) distribute loads unevenly, that is, one side of the building may need to be further strengthened. Without knowledge in this area, it is easy to make a mistake that threatens to turn into a collapse.

All these nuances must be taken into account when designing an attic. Additional floors with bay windows or terraces look luxurious. In the second case, households have access to open air overlooking the courtyard, securely protected by a canopy. Such verandas are sometimes glazed. Bay windows most often repeat similar protrusions on the lower floors in shape.

roof trusses

A truss truss is a truss system on which a roof is supported. In fact, this is the “backbone”, the skeleton of the attic, on which layers of roofing, thermal insulation, communication lines are “put on”, interior decoration. The truss truss consists of a number of components, the competent combination of which allows you to evenly distribute the load on the load-bearing walls of the house:

Mauerlat. It is a log or beam, which is laid on a load-bearing wall. In fact, this is the "foundation" of the truss truss.
Skate and side runs. These are beams that are horizontal. The first is placed directly under the ridge, and the rest are slightly lower, perpendicular to the rafter "legs".
Struts, struts, diagonal connections - a system of communicative elements.
Overhead and hanging rafters.

Since the loads on mansard roof quite large, the truss truss must have a margin of safety. It provides a high-quality connection between the individual components of the system. Most often, bolts, screws, welding or the groove-comb type are used for these purposes. The frame scheme of the truss truss is chosen depending on the type of roof that will cover the attic floor. Also take into account the distance between the outer load-bearing walls. If it does not exceed the value of 6.5 m, then layered rafters are chosen. In other cases, resort to hanging supports. They are mounted on a puff and on a Mauerlat. If necessary, the structure is reinforced with additional connecting links.

Roof construction

The shape of the attic directly depends on the type of roof. The additional floors themselves can be rectangular, broken, triangular, asymmetric. Attics can be located above the entire house or only above part of it. Roofs, depending on the shape, are classified into the following types:

Shed.
Gable.
Tri-slope.
Dome (conical, pyramidal).
Four-slope.

Tri-slope and domed in the attic are very rare due to the complex architecture. The former were popular back in Tsarist Russia, when the exquisite design of the house was an indicator of the family's prosperity. Domed ones are a very complex structure with no less "tangled" truss truss. Greenhouses in wealthy mansions used to be hidden under round roofs made of transparent materials. Judging by the sophistication of architecture, such a roof is a grandiose structure, impressive and eye-catching. FROM material point of view, such construction will be very expensive, and therefore is not always justified. Four-sided are classified into four subspecies:

Hip.
Tent.
Half hip
Hip-pediment.

In the tent ridge is completely absent. Attics under the roofs of the three remaining types have a broken architectonics, which is not as pronounced as in gable roofs. For this reason, this nuance can be attributed to advantages, not disadvantages.

Shed

The design of a shed roof is considered the simplest. The roof is fixed on the load-bearing walls at an angle. This roof architecture is laconic and even borders on primitivism. For single-sided options, the angle of inclination is of great importance. If it is calculated incorrectly, then precipitation will accumulate, and the load on the roof will increase. Mansards under shed roofs are not equipped very often. The room will have an asymmetrical shape due to the different heights of the opposite walls. On the other hand, windows that look very neat and consistent in the same row are easily integrated into a pitched roof.

gable

Gable or gable roofs are quite easy to install and are considered a classic option for arranging attic floors. As the name implies, such structures have two slopes that intersect at the top and abut against the ridge. Both planes "look" in different directions. Gable roofs are classified into three subspecies:

Symmetrical. The slopes diverge at the same angles and are mirror images of each other. The pediment has a simple configuration of an isosceles triangle, and the ridge is located in the center of the structure.
Asymmetrical. The ridge of such roofs is displaced relative to the conventional center of the house. The slopes are of equal length. Sometimes they are also called: "offset ridge" roofs.
With broken slopes. This type of roof was specially designed for attics and attics. Broken slopes allow you to increase the area of \u200b\u200bthe under-roof space.

Most popular option gable roof- "convex" with broken slopes. The ridge is located strictly in the center, and the pediment has the shape of an irregular but symmetrical pentagon.

Roof selection

The range of roofing materials is truly amazing. If earlier they managed with traditional slate laid on roofing material, now the layman's eyes run wide at the sight of wide choice. Depending on the rigidity, materials are classified into two types:

Soft (bituminous tiles).
Rigid (slate, metal tile).

When choosing a material, also pay attention to the configuration of the roof. Not every type of roof is suitable for complex, broken structures. The most durable and beautiful option will become natural tiles which is made from clay by firing. The material will be very expensive, but the service life - more than 150 years - fully pays for the cost. The second place in popularity is shared by asbestos-cement slate and metal tiles. The first is a mixture of a cement base with asbestos reinforcing fibers. Although for last years many competitors have appeared, it still occupies a leading position in the market. Slate can be flat or wavy. His classic color- gray, but some manufacturers color the material in bright colors. The average service life of slate is 30 years. Metal tile - imitation of the same name ceramic material, made of galvanized steel, which is covered with a protective polymer film on both sides. The texture and coloring of the material mimics the original in detail. The average service life of a metal tile is 15 years. It is fireproof, easy to install, durable and inexpensive. Slightly less popular are ondulin, corrugated steel sheets) and piece composite, slate, bituminous, cement-sand tiles. For roofs of complex configuration, it is better to use soft roofing material.

Windows and how to open them

On the attic floors they are used as usual vertical windows(embedded in the pediments), and special inclined ones. They are located on the roof. Windows are called "mansard" windows. They literally look "at the sky" and give an indescribable feeling during the rain or starry nights when you can fall asleep admiring the magnificent landscape. They are distinguished by the type of opening. The usual tilt or turn-and-turn mechanism is not found in skylights. The only exception will be the "hatches" in the roof. Due to the specifics of the location (at an angle), more often such double-glazed windows are equipped only with folding or sliding systems. Panoramic windows located on the gables look luxurious in the attics. There are also miniature "balconies" equipped with a folding mechanism. They open access to a small porch with a fence, a kind of mini-terrace.

One-story houses with an attic

The problem of lack of space often worries owners one-story houses. If the land plot is small and does not allow you to increase the living space in width, then you will have to turn your eyes upward. A full-fledged second floor is not a cheap pleasure. We will have to significantly strengthen the structure and radically rebuild it. The attic, on the other hand, can be equipped in an existing attic, having carried out repair, insulation and decoration work. In terms of cost, reorganizing a finished space is significantly cheaper than building a new one.

Two-story houses with an attic

In two-story houses, the attic will become an additional load on the structure. When arranging it, it is better to use non-massive furniture with low weight. If necessary, it is easy to rearrange it to a new place or replace it with another one. As an option, you can consider wicker chairs and chairs, plastic tables, dressing rooms instead of full cabinets, or even garden furniture. It is recommended to divide the entire floor into rooms or zones using light drywall partitions.

Room furnishing options

On the attic floor, you can equip absolutely any room: bedrooms, living rooms, children's and playrooms. If water supply is provided here, then the placement of a bathroom or kitchen is allowed. In small attics, it is logical to place only one spacious room and zoning it. If the floor is narrow, then two doorways are made from the entrance staircase to different rooms, which abut against opposite gables. Most often, attics are designed for bedrooms. The lack of space is usually caused by an increase in the family. The attic is a great option for arranging separate full-fledged children's rooms. This will give the child a personal space and at the same time not sacrifice the existing functional rooms.

Popular stylistic trends

In the design of the attic floors, they adhere to the principles of conciseness and lightness. The interior should be simple and unobtrusive. The stylistic direction necessarily emphasizes the extraordinary architectonics of the ceiling, which is so common on attic floors and turns asymmetry into a virtue, not a disadvantage. Since the use of massive furniture and an abundance of decor is undesirable, the classics in all its manifestations should be excluded. Most often, designers practice the use of the following styles:

Chalet. The Alpine direction is based on the use of wood. The array can be replaced with thin sheets veneer in the finish. They will be in harmony with the timber from which the house is built. The unusual architecture of the ceiling is complemented decorative beams and logs. Furniture uses a minimum: wicker chairs, chairs, a bed with wooden frame. Soft skins for the floor, deer antlers on the walls and stylish metal-framed lamps suspended on chains from the ceiling beams are chosen from the decor.
Minimalism. This style easily adapts to both small spaces and spacious rooms. All furniture is placed compactly. This direction is filled with the harmony of space, light and color. Ideal for an economy renovation. The color scheme is dominated by white and gray. The decor is practically not used. Of the furniture, only a low coffee table, a group of chairs, a compact corner wardrobe and a bed are left.
Laconic Russian ethnic style. A colorful direction, which is associated with towers in dense Siberian forests. Interior decoration does not impress with luxury: used simple furniture, made in an artisanal way with rough, poorly finished surfaces. The interior is dominated by affordable wood - a material typical of Russian villages. The color palette uses all shades of brown: from dark chocolate to yellow. They decorate the room with homespun paths, embroidered curtains, groups of hand-painted dishes on stands. If there is a fireplace on the attic floor, then it is styled as an old Russian stove and whitewashed.
Provence. This is one of the subspecies of the rustic style. Indoors also prevail wooden surfaces. Furniture is chosen from old "grandmother's" sets, which are re-painted to give a more respectable look. The best decor will be fresh flowers in pots and porcelain vases. You can revive the room with the help of small sculpture, massive candelabra, flirty flower curtains and a group of soft pillows on a sofa or bed. The color palette is dominated by white and pastel colors.

Also, when arranging the attic, they use a light Japanese style, laconic Scandinavian and high-tech high-tech. If the building is built of brick, then a loft will fit such walls. They don't even have to be trimmed. Bare brickwork will become part of the interior.

Conclusion

Mansards are not only for private houses. In multi-storey buildings often sell apartments located directly under the roof. They usually have nothing in common with small-sized housing, striking with large spaces. In such apartments, studios and workshops are equipped. but real comfort a well-maintained attic in a private house cannot be compared with anything. The attic is a great option for large families on a budget.

Houses with an attic are the embodiment of a comfortable and pleasant country life. Such cottages allow great freedom in the choice of materials, design and layout of the house. In this article you will find the necessary recommendations, as well as projects of houses with an attic, free drawings and photos.

Features of a house with an attic

One of the most important features of a house with an attic is, since top part structure is subject to temperature fluctuations. It is equally important to take care of the waterproofing of the room. Pick for attic floor lightweight materials. This also applies to interior decoration, and even furniture. Do not overload the foundation and walls due to possible appearance cracks.

A small attic area is best formed as a whole space, but if it is necessary to create internal partitions, drywall should be preferred. This material will not put additional load on the foundation of the house.

How to build a house with an attic?

When creating a house project with an attic, it is necessary to take into account the features of this building. Subject to the following rules you will get a beautiful and reliable solid home.

Additional load calculation. It is impossible to arbitrarily attach an attic to a one-story house, as this will entail cracks with the subsequent destruction of the base. If you decide to build an attic on existing walls, take care of strengthening them.
Calculation of the height of the attic. The minimum floor-to-ceiling height is 2.5 m.
Proper roof design. When designing it, it should be taken into account that the gable construction will add only 67% of the base area of \u200b\u200bthe house. The so-called "broken" roof will add about 90% of the ground floor area. But raising the roof by 1.5 m can increase the area by 100%.
provide communications communications between the base and the attic;
think over planning, places for and windows;
It is very important to comply fire safety requirements, evacuation plan from the attic.

Projects of a one-story house with an attic: drawings and photos

In one-story houses, the attic most often acts as a workshop or. Often a bedroom is located on this level, due to the comfortable location in a room with low ceilings, as well as additional insulation and a beautiful view of the starry sky from the windows. We have selected 10 best projects houses with an attic, below are free drawings and photos, as well as their description.

Two-story houses with an attic have a presentable appearance. Such houses are designed for a comfortable country or summer vacation. As a rule, the layout of a two-story house with an attic provides for the location of rooms common use on the first level (it can be a living room, dining room, kitchen), and personal apartments - on the second floor (master bedrooms, bathroom, children's). When choosing materials, you can stop at concrete, brick or wood. Possible combined options, where one floor is made of timber, and the other is made of brick. Below is project number 10, the final one in our selection.

Any residential building needs design, and drawings for houses with attics are especially carefully developed. Such structures are different and have features that are taken into account when planning construction.

Drawings and photographs of projects of one-story houses with an attic

A house with an attic is a popular option for a residential building, since a voluminous roof allows you to create a comfortable additional floor without the high cost of building a full-fledged wall, and then a roof. At the same time, they necessarily provide for good thermal insulation of the upper floor, as well as hydroprotection of the attic. This allows you to create optimal conditions for living and organize a comfortable layout.

At the design stage, the appearance of the building is also being developed.

Projects of buildings with an attic 8 by 10

A residential one-story house 8 by 10 allows you to use more design solutions than two-story buildings. At the same time, there are no significant construction costs, and the building turns out to be as beautiful, comfortable and durable as possible. To achieve these goals, you can use ready-made standard projects, which include detailed drawings of buildings with layout, exterior design and other features.

The main stages of creating an 8 by 10 house project are expressed as follows:

determination of the area, number of storeys, height of the future building;
analysis of the soil and the surface of the site in order to select the optimal type of foundation;
development of the appearance of the structure;
creation of a project and drawings in a professional program;
evaluation of the result, adjustment, selection of building materials.

There are many project options, but one of the most versatile is the project below, which assumes the practicality of the upper floor. The attic is arranged as carefully as possible, forming a full-fledged living space with all amenities. This allows you to increase usable area buildings 8 by 10 m.

When designing the design of the building, special attention is paid

On the drawing of this variant there is comfortable layout ground floor with indication of functional areas. The parameters of the premises can be adjusted if necessary, creating a unique version of a residential building.

The drawing indicates the area of \u200b\u200bthe premises

The attic project includes a bedroom, a bathroom and two living rooms. Thus, the presence of an attic allows you to save on the construction of a full-fledged floor, but at the same time create a cozy and functional space.

In the spacious attic it is easy to equip several living rooms

Another project may involve the presence on the ground floor of a spacious dining room that functions as a living room. Upstairs attic type full-fledged living quarters will be placed. Several exits to the territory of the site will make your stay comfortable.

IN country house there are several exits to the site

The diagram of the first floor shows the parameters of all rooms, the main of which is the dining-living room. If necessary, this space can be divided into two functional zones by adjusting the project.

On the first floor there are two exits to the outside.

The attic allows you to maximize the functional use of each square meter of area. Therefore, on the plan there are three rooms, a hall, a practical staircase space.

The attic is functional and does not require large construction costs

Any finished project of a residential building 8 by 10 m can be adjusted depending on personal preferences or under the finished foundation of the house. At the same time, it is important to change the calculation of the load on the supporting structures, to take into account the location of communications.

Houses with an attic 9 by 9

The construction of a house with an attic 9 by 9 m allows you to save the area of \u200b\u200bthe building site, but at the same time, the under-roof space, that is, the attic, is arranged as carefully as possible. During construction, the shape of the roof, the thickness of the heat-insulating layer are taken into account, and hydro- and vapor barrier films are necessarily used. Thanks to this, the atmosphere of the attic floor will be comfortable at any time of the year.

When designing a 9 by 9 house, you should consider such features as:

the area of the first floor allows you to place important premises (kitchen, bathroom, etc.) and make them spacious;
the foundation for the building is selected depending on the type of soil, for example, the tape is suitable for solid soil;
for a 9 by 9 house, careful hydro and thermal insulation of the foundation is required, as well as a competent location of the heating system.

One of the notable finished projects of a 9 by 9 house is the option in which there is a bay window and a skylight. The building is comfortable for permanent or temporary residence at any time of the year.

The design can be changed without affecting the internal layout

The layout of the first floor shows a possible layout with furniture, but the exact location of the items is determined individually. The finished project makes it possible to organize the space on an individual basis, taking into account the peculiarities of lifestyle, personal preferences and other factors.

The scheme is easy to adjust on your own, but without making drastic changes without professional knowledge in architecture

The second floor plan includes a large bedroom and two additional rooms. The purpose of the premises can be changed, and the location is quite convenient.

Additional rooms can perform any function

The finished project of a 9 by 9 house, made of aerated concrete blocks, involves exact calculation all options. For example, in the following project, the building has an area of 73 m 2 and a house height of 8 m. In this case, the roof slope is 18 °, and the diagram shows 3 living rooms. The roof is covered with metal tiles. The foundation in the form of a monolithic tape ensures the reliability of the building.

Exterior finishes may vary.

The scheme of the first floor includes a living room, kitchen, bathroom, spacious entrance hall. This layout is comfortable, convenient and functional.

The purpose of the premises can be determined individually

In the attic area there is a spacious staircase, several rooms. Careful insulation of the roof allows you to provide comfort on the attic floor.

Volumetric roof allows you to make the optimal height of the walls

Design of buildings 9 by 10 with an attic

The construction of a 9 by 10 building with an attic can be carried out from different materials. The arrangement of the attic allows you to make the construction as economical as possible, but the residential building will be cozy and durable. You can increase the functional space with the help of a balcony. On the ground floor of a 9 by 10 house it is easy to locate summer veranda. The total area of a building of this size allows you to organize spacious areas in which each corner performs a specific function.

A house with a balcony on the top floor is one of the most comfortable options for buildings with an attic. Appearance buildings are modern in style, and the construction is carried out from quality brick, foam blocks and other similar options.

The modern look of the building is one of the advantages of this project.

The peculiarity of this project of a residential building lies in the fact that part of the facade is, as it were, pushed aside and there is an attic balcony at the top. At the same time, on the ground floor there is a bathroom, a living room, a hall and other functional premises. Thus, practicality and modern style building.

The main premises are located on the ground floor.

In the attic room, living rooms and a bathroom are equipped, it is possible to equip an office or other functional space. If bringing communications to the bathroom on the second floor causes certain difficulties, then this room can perform any other function.

The arrangement of furniture is determined individually

The design of buildings 8x10, 9x9 and 9x10 m has common features. For example, attic rooms often serve as living space. In the finished project, you can always make individual changes, taking into account the features of the designs.

Designing houses with a garage and an attic

The construction and planning of houses with an attic may include such a necessary room as a garage. This space is an extension or a dedicated part of the building in which the vehicle. For comfortable operation of the garage, when designing, a scheme for supplying communications, heating, and lighting is developed. External design buildings with a garage can have one common style or a slight visual separation of these buildings, for example, by colored wall cladding.

Features of designing a house with a garage and an attic are as follows:

the wall separating the house and the garage should have a layer of sound insulation, and fire protection or alarms should be provided in all rooms;
the area of the garage must be sufficient for the free operation of the premises;
if the attic is located above the house and garage, then it is important to create a reliable system of ceilings, thermal insulation and waterproofing.

A universal solution is the project of a one-story house with an attic and a single garage. At the same time, the roof of the technical and living space is one, and the attic is located only above the living space.

A single roof allows you to create a harmonious design

The layout drawing includes two schemes. The project of the first floor shows in detail the location of the garage, exits from the house, porch, veranda and other functional areas. If the finished project is adjusted independently, then cardinal changes should be avoided, because in this case a professional calculation of the design parameters will be required.

The common roof over the garage and the house does not require large construction costs

Thanks to the large perimeter of the house in the attic, you can equip several living rooms, a bathroom. If the parameters of the house are smaller, then the usable area also decreases, only the necessary zones are equipped.

The attic rooms are full and functional

Features of a two-story house with an attic

During the construction of a two-story building, you can organize a cozy room in the attic area. This area can be insulated and operated year-round. And the option of only summer use of the attic space is also in demand. In the first case, thorough insulation and waterproofing of the roof is required, and in the second, the main vapor and waterproofing layers of the roof are equipped under the roofing material. In any case, a two-story house, complemented by a functional attic, is a comfortable building with big amount usable area.

The facade can be decorated in any way in accordance with the chosen design style.

The design of a two-story building with a residential attic requires more careful calculation than the development of a one-story building project. This is due to the fact that in the case of a two-story house, the load on the foundation is greater than in the other version. Therefore, light, durable and high-quality materials are used to cover the roof, equip the attic, and installation and layout are carried out according to the drawing.

The main premises are often located on the first floor, facilitating the layout of the second and attic floors.

Room dimensions in finished projects can be changed without drastically affecting the supporting structures. Thus, it is possible to create a comfortable residential building, taking into account individual wishes and ensure the reliability of the premises on the second floor.

Rest rooms are often located on the second floor.

Two-storey house with an attic it is possible to build on a narrow plot. The presence of two floors and a functional attic space ensures the practicality and convenience of the building.

Design of multi-gable mansard roofs

Multi-gable roofing is popular in the construction of buildings with an attic. Such a roof has several angles-slopes and is distinguished by a complex design of the truss system. At such corners, attic windows are often equipped, which is a practical and convenient solution.

A multi-gable roof has a complex system of rafters, but has external originality

A complex multi-gable roof is suitable for buildings that are built of brick, foam blocks, shell rock or aerated concrete. The design can be symmetrical or asymmetrical. In the first case, the corner elements are evenly spaced, and in the second case, the edges can be located on different levels. A roof of any type requires a strong mauerlat, calculation of the bearing capacity and careful selection of materials for construction.

Ready-made projects of houses with an attic allow you to find out the features of the development of such functional buildings. Residential premises are always designed individually and depending on the region of residence, climatic conditions, land area and other factors. Having carefully considered all the options, you can create a reliable and comfortable home with an attic.

A common planning solution in individual and cottage construction is the installation of an attic in the space of a pitched roof. The layout of a house with an attic has its own characteristics, which significantly distinguish it from the layout of a house on one level, and make the project almost identical to a two-story building.

The most important difference between the layout of a one-story house with an attic is the need to create a staircase to provide access to the second level. Often the developer does not understand the complexity of this planning element, treating it with disdain. This approach is a gross mistake that turns daily living in the house into an endless repetition of uncomfortable and meaningless movements around obstacles.

The decision on the arrangement of the operated attic must be taken at the design stage and the building should be designed taking into account the correct and convenient placement of the staircase on the first floor and the creation of a convenient and economical in terms of the space spent, access to the second, attic floor.

Depending on the number of storeys of the building, the operational characteristics of the staircase used change. The attic in a one-story building, as a rule, performs the role of a "quiet zone", the premises in which are intended for night rest and daytime leisure. For such houses, it is possible to save as much as possible the area of the first floor, which is expensive in construction, by installing stairs of small width, from half a meter and above, with the most economical shape, for example, a spiral one or with a minimum platform between marches.

Plan of a one-story house with an attic 6 × 6

When designing the layout of a 6x6 or 8x8 house with an attic, as a rule, there are no other reasonable solutions left, since about six square meters of space in the central part of the room falls out of the total area, since access to the attic can only be arranged in the region of the roof ridge.

The layout of houses 8x10, 9x9, 9x12 with an attic is less sensitive to the arrangement of the staircase, since it occupies a smaller percentage of the area of the entire room and fits into the floor plan more easily.

It is very important to understand that the space required for a staircase includes access to it from various rooms, which also take up space and should be organized as conveniently as possible. Unfortunately, analyzing many modern projects pleasing to the eye architectural forms, as a rule, you are convinced that it is the staircase node that is their weak point nullifying many advantages.

Layout of a two-story house with an attic

The plan of a two-story house with an attic may differ from a one-story house with a larger area of the staircase. A two-story house implies more frequent and intensive movement through the floors, so the stairs should be made more gentle and wide, landings of sufficient area so that people moving in the opposite direction can pass.

Advantages

It has long been erected in Russia from coniferous trees, which were selected as evenly as possible, were processed with an ax, and then the links of the log house were laid out of them. Today, rounded logs or profiled timber are spent on the construction of dwellings. This is an almost ideal building material, which has one drawback: fire hazard.
Advantages of wood material:

Types of timber

Produced on the basis of accounting building material, which is used as different kinds timber:

Timber houses

All the listed advantages of wood material are also possessed by wooden houses made of timber. They are built by the most different sizes. The future owner of the hearth has a huge choice:

If a dwelling is planned from a bar with a veranda and an attic, then its foundation must be rigidly connected to the base of the extension to create a single house-veranda structure. But this is optional if the feature walls are not hardwired. In this case, uneven shrinkage of both buildings will not hurt. The construction of a dwelling from a bar is less laborious than from a rounded log. The quadrangular profile allows you to quickly and as tightly as possible connect the links of the log house to each other. And country houses with an attic are built with walls that do not require large expenditures for additional finishing.

Ground floor layout with veranda and attic

For profiled building materials, sometimes the front side is made convex, which is why the whole building seems to be made of round logs. Standard length wooden beam six meters. Then you have to order building materials of the appropriate length for the walls at the woodworking enterprise. They produce bars up to 10 m long and more.

But a residential building from an 8x10 bar with an attic can be built using standard material and lengthened during the laying process. At the same time, horizontal links should be laid so that the joints do not coincide, but are displaced relative to each other.

And in order for the walls to be more durable, the crowns must be fastened fasteners, which are most often used wooden dowels.

Their construction is not complete without the following elements:

frame made of metal or wood;
sandwich panels, consisting of two metal sheets or PVC, chipboard and an insulating layer between them;
facing facade plaster or siding.

Blocks are produced, as a rule, on specialized construction companies. But experienced home craftsmen are able to make them at home.

Projects frame houses with attic and veranda

Usually frame buildings are one-story, but can be built in two floors. They are built using wooden structures, less often metal, because they increase financial costs up to 45%.
Frame houses have the following advantages:

Relatively low cost and short construction time compared to those needed to build a house from a bar.
Ease of construction that does not require a massive expensive foundation.
Saving wood material. Unlike building a dwelling from a bar, a frame house with an attic will require half as much wood.
