  • comfortable and safe housing;
  • economical housing.

In this article, we will analyze in detail what kind of homes and mansards are at home, their projects, advantages and disadvantages.

Frame house projects

Attic houses and projects are notable for their low cost and ease of construction. These houses perfectly keep warm in winter in severe frosts, and cold in the summer heat. Houses with a mansard and the projects offered by development companies are so diverse that it is impossible to find two similar structures. The average size of the building is 6 by 6 or 8 by 8. Attic space is usually used as a living room with rooms, a balcony or a loggia. Even the attic is often equipped as a summer terrace. The functionality of this room may be different, it all depends on your wishes. The roof is selected in several types:

  • single slope;
  • gable;
  • dome;
  • broken line;

Exterior walls are finished with vinyl siding or decorative plaster. The base can be decorated with decorative stone. The house with a garage and attic is also a common building. The main advantage of the frame garage is its mobility. It is not always possible to build a garage together with the house (the height difference prevents a bad configuration of the land plot), in this case it can be built separately. If in the future you need to disassemble the garage and install it elsewhere, there will be no problem with this. The photo shows a frame house with an attic and a garage

Features houses with bay windows

The frame house with a bay window can be different: round, square, rectangular. The most commonly used rectangular structures, because they are easier to design. Such projects significantly increase the area of ​​the room and make it quite bright. Bay window is a protruding part of the house, which is most often performed in the form of glazing. Glazed bay windows can not only decorate the house, but also emphasize the special style of the building. Houses with a bay window and frame structures are created and carried out exclusively by specialists, because it is laborious work. Erkers happen:

  • outdoor;
  • wall mounted;
  • internal corner.

It is built at the stage of building a house, using the same building materials, for harmonious design of the house. The ideal option is the combination of the bay window and the attic, while placing the bay window can be immediately on two floors of the house.

Important! When combining a bay window and a room, glazing is carried out up to half this will help to avoid heat loss.

Houses with a bay window with frame round or square shape will also look original. Such projects of houses are carried out only by specialists, since the slightest mistake can lead to fragile load-bearing structures.

Construction process

Frame construction begins with laying the foundation. The main feature of the building is its lightness, so there is no need to build a solid foundation, you can use lightweight materials. Two types are used as bases:

  • ribbon finely recessed;
  • columnar.

To do this, dig a trench with a depth of 70 cm, compact the soil and form a cushion of gravel or sand, with a depth of 30 cm. Then set the formwork at a distance of 60 cm, reinforce and pour all the concrete solution. Such a foundation will last a long time and will firmly hold the house.

After the foundation, you can start building walls; this is a key and important stage of construction. This will require bars, fasteners, polyurethane foam, roofing felt for waterproofing and tools. Racks mounted every 0.5 meters, for window openings left a large distance. For the attic device it is necessary to use a board not less than 30 cm thick.

Expert advice! For the correct length of the rack, calculate the total length of each wall.

To the walls were strong and did not crumble into the joints fasten nagel. Before laying the walls, a layer of roofing material is laid between the foundation and the supporting structure. In the end, should get a frame that can be sheathed boards.

Mansard constructions and their projects imply additional insulation with foam, mineral wool or organic material. Warming the house is necessary to avoid the formation of moisture and blowing heat. After that, you can proceed to the device attic. There are several types of roof under the attic:

  • symmetrical;
  • triangular;
  • asymmetrical.

The frame is laid on wooden beams using a layer of waterproofing. On top of the laid beams mount rack, they will be the basis of the attic itself. Next, assemble the timber, attaching it with staples and nails. In the process of work, make sure that the racks were even and not deformed. After installing the upper beam, you can proceed to the installation of the mauerlat - this is an important component of the design, since the roof will be attached to it. Such a device will reliably protect the house from snow and wind. Mauerlat is laid from boards, fastened to the wall in a vertical position with clips. At the end of the work it is treated with antifungal agent. After that, install truss legs, which must be pre-ordered to fit your size. To the extreme legs attach the construction cord, which performs the function of the level to install the remaining rafters.

Important! In a non-fixed state, the truss system may simply collapse under its weight at any time. If the length of the roof of the attic is more than 7 meters, it is necessary to connect the rafters to each other in pairs, and fix the ridges of the beam. If the roof is less than 7 meters, conventional stretching is used, performing the function of beams.

The final step will be to mount the batten and waterproofing layer, which will also serve as insulation of the room.

Frame construction is an excellent investment that allows you to save money, implement your project and improve the living conditions for the whole family.

Modern architects and builders embody in reality the various projects of multi-family and private houses, which are being built in compliance with all norms and requirements. Recently, such architectural elements as the bay window and the attic have been popular.

This is due to the fact that buildings equipped with decorative ledges and having an originally designed residential attic look elegant and restrained at the same time. Houses with a loft and a bay window have their own characteristics that should be considered when developing a project.

Attic is a loft converted into a living room.. The facade of the attic floor is the roof surface (broken, curvilinear or inclined). The building significantly enlivens the appearance of the entire structure and significantly increases the living space.

The attic can be symmetrical or asymmetrical, have a broken or triangular silhouette, to occupy the entire roof of a building or a certain part. The design may protrude outside the facade. In this case, you should consider the creation of supports: consoles or columns.

It is important to know:  if the roof has a broken shape, the lower part of the attic is erected at an angle of 65 °, the angle of inclination of the upper part should be about 20 °.

The attic floor is recommended to be erected with light materials that will not heavily load the base, for example: wood, plastic, foam concrete. Also in the selection it is important to consider the degree of fire resistance of the building. Attic floors can be fully or partially insulated, it depends on the nuances of operating the premises.

The photo of houses with a loft and a bay window will help to assess the advantage of mixed-type architectural structures.

Bayer is the German word for lantern. This is because such a protrusion from the wall of the house, lit from the inside, really resembles a lantern. The facades of buildings that are built with such protrusions, look solid and solemn. This solution allows you to add the appearance of the house originality. The projects of two-storey houses with a terrace and a bay window are particularly attractive.

In addition to the original appearance, these elements are quite practical. Due to the implementation of the ledge increases living space. This is quite important for the owners of apartments and private houses of a small area. In addition, the presence of the bay window prolongs the daylight hours indoors.

Various architectural solutions

  • Balcony - this solution looks quite original for two-story buildings. The construction of the element from the foundation begins, which has a ledge for the bay window. The protruding part of the facade is built on the ground floor. On the second, it smoothly goes into the balcony. It can be glazed or open. Houses with a balcony and a bay window look very impressive.
  • Attic - this solution is more suitable for small houses. Buildings with an attic and bay window are quite compact and cozy.
  • Two projections - they will look organic only in the case of fairly large houses. It is better if one protruding element is placed on 2 floors at once, and the second is to occupy only one level. When choosing such an architectural solution, it is worth considering a lot of subtleties.

The bay windows can have a different shape. The most common option is a square element. It is easy to implement, and the work does not require the creation of complex diagrams and drawings. At the same time, when building a bay window, the cost of the house increases.

Round bay windows are also called "Venetian". They look the most aesthetically pleasing. However, such designs require the most thoughtful solutions both in the exterior and in the interior. Otherwise, the Venetian protrusion will resemble a coarse spot.

Bay window in the interior

The functionality of such an architectural element depends on its location in a particular room. There are various options for the location of such structural elements in the interior. For example, if the bay window is located in the living room, this solution will be the most optimal. In the recess you can put a sofa or chairs opposite each other.

Original looks bay window in the dining room. In this case, the space is also zoned quite rationally. In a cozy corner place a dining table round shape. To save space, around it usually put narrow benches. Visually, a round table and small benches will be harmoniously combined with the cooking zone.

When placing the bay window in the bedroom in the recess, you can organize a zone for reading. Furniture here should be the minimum amount. If the bay window is located in the nursery, it is better to equip it with a personal space for the child, a play area or a workplace.

Important! Be careful when glazing a bay window. It is necessary that the protruding part is maximally insulated.

Beneficially look at home, equipped not only with a bay window, but also a terrace. Such structures have originality and special attractiveness. It is better if the project of the house will be executed by professional architects and designers.

In this case, the objects will not be adversely affected by the weather. Houses with a large terrace are usually arranged in a large area.

If the house has an unusual shape, the flooring is better to perform designer. It can strongly protrude from the facade of the building. When the house is located in southern latitudes, a deep terrace should be installed, in which it will be easy to protect from the sun. Also, this building can be equipped near the kitchen or living room. The flooring attached to the house can also be private.

A private house is a practical solution. It has more living space, and comfort is not inferior to apartments. You can, of course, live in a small apartment all your life, consoling yourself with the words: “in crampedness, but not mad”, but you can take and change your life. Building a house is not an easy task, but interesting and fascinating. After all, there is nothing better than to plan and equip your own house. And it is with the plan, or rather with the project, everything begins. The project helps to correctly calculate their strength and budget. In many families, the budget is limited, so initially it is not necessary to design a large house on several floors. Houses with an attic and a perimeter of 10 by 10, plus or minus, will be quite enough for a full and comfortable life of a modern family. The house does not have to be large, but it must be beautiful and original. Therefore, we present to your attention the projects of houses with a bay window that have successfully taken root in Russia.

What is a bay window?

Bay window is a very convenient architectural solution. Outwardly, it is very similar to an ordinary balcony, but the essential difference between the bay window is that there is no partition between the room and the space of the bay window itself. It is a continuation of the room and increases its area. The shape of the bay windows are rectangular, but those with more faces than three look much more interesting. Earlier, bay windows were mainly used in multi-storey buildings in order to increase rooms, but today they have also successfully taken root in private houses. The bay window can be either on one floor or on several at once. Another important function of the bay window is that it improves the natural lighting of the room. This effect is achieved by a large number of glasses. As a rule, all facets of the bay window are made of glass. The project of a house with a bay window is the best option for a small house where every corner matters.

Why do I need a project?

The project is an essential attribute in construction. Without it, neither a building permit nor a contractor to hire. He, as an instruction, gives information about what, how, and what to build from. In the project, calculations are carried out on permissible loads on the walls and the foundation, diagrams of the attachment points of the beams are made, drawn in the section of the roof and floors. Since the bay window is a structure that rests on beams in the wall, house designs with a bay window have a special meaning. In order that the bay window was not only beautiful, but also safe, the calculations must be necessary. Yes, and the flow of construction materials with the project control easier. But if builders start working without a project, then it is worth thinking about their competence. It is better not to get involved with such unfortunate masters.
