The embodiment and the synonym of homeliness for many is a comfortable country cottage. And if an attic and a terrace are attached to the house, then it is just a dream of a real romantic. If in the old days the attic space was not at all considered elite and served as a warehouse, then now modern penthouses in country houses are equipped with exclusive design projects.

Such buildings will be an excellent option for owners of small areas. Having made the floor under the roof, you get additional living space, which means that you will need a smaller space for the foundation.

In addition, the attic floor and terrace will help functionally “unload” the room, since you can use these additional meters for games, feasts, get-togethers with friends or to store clothes.

Features

Why do gardeners, as a rule, choose the projects of houses with a veranda and a mansard? Such an indoor structure is not only good for outdoor meetings, but also creates an additional shadow. In addition, on the terrace in the rain or heat, you can perform various daily activities or engage in harvesting in the autumn.

In the view of the cottager, it is the presence of a terrace or attic that adds coziness to a country cottage. Meanwhile, not every project is as easy to perform as it looks in the drawings and diagrams. Of great importance here will be the practical experience of designing complex, from a geometric point of view, structures.




An important feature of the attic is a pointed roof, the ceilings of which hang over the head of a person standing inside. In order to be comfortable in the attic zone, the ceiling height at the highest point must be at least 2-2.5 meters. And the angle of the slope will be dumber, the easier it will be under the roof. The way out of this situation can also be a broken roof, which will free up the maximum space of the attic.

Houses with a mansard and a terrace differ from usual not only in design features and unusual architecture, but also in “stuffing”. Since the floor under the roof is subject to temperature fluctuations, it is especially carefully insulated and insulated both from the inside and the outside. As for the interior, it is a free layout with a minimum of partitions. And the role of zoning may well be performed by lighting, which should be plenty in the attic. You can beat the original and unusual window shape.




As for the features of the terrace, its construction is better to combine with the construction of the house, so that there is a single foundation. And if you add a veranda later, pay special attention to the quality of the bond between the walls - so that the base does not crack when the terrace shrinks and the walls do not diverge.

Advantages and disadvantages

Houses with a loft and a terrace have both advantages and disadvantages, pay attention to this when planning the construction.

The advantages are as follows:

  • attic makes the interior more original;
  • high functionality of the attic;
  • the opportunity to save on building materials;
  • reduction of heat loss through the roof;
  • the possibility of arranging non-residential premises.



Among the shortcomings can be noted:

  • inaccurate adherence to construction technology may lead to condensation and the presence of moisture in the attic room;
  • the complex geometry of the attic and, accordingly, the considerable cost of windows "to order", which, moreover, should be a lot if you want to finally build a solar attic, and not a gloomy attic.



Projects

Projects of finished country cottages with an attic and a terrace in principle allow the use of various styles and layouts. Mansard buildings are erected from wood, brick, timber, foam blocks. There are also stone houses and cottages built according to the Finnish technology (they are distinguished by compactness and at the same time cost-effectiveness and practicality in the organization of living space).

It is due to the inclusion of the attic in the overall plan that it is possible to increase the internal volume of the premises.. And the additional extension of the terrace will not only increase the useful area of ​​the house, but also make the design unique and inimitable.




If you plan to use the terrace during the cold season, think over the heating system and for the extension. Of course, verandas without heating will be cheaper, but you cannot make a living room or a winter garden on them. Such open terraces will serve for summer gatherings.

Each professionally made project of a country house takes into account the following factors:

  • climatic features;
  • soil and landscape features (for example, a house is located on level ground or on a slope);
  • options for combining the design of the house with the environment;
  • the possibility of organizing the most convenient space, taking into account the age of family members and their individual characteristics.


Even at the design stage of the cottage, the layout of rooms, engineering networks and all communications is thought out. As a budget option, as a rule, a project of a house with an attic and a veranda of 6x6 square meters is chosen. m. This area and 2-3 floors is enough to accommodate all the necessary accommodations. For such a house, it is preferable to make a broken roof of the attic, so that the room under the roof was more capacious.

Compact and small country house 6x6 square. m includes everything you need: living room, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and toilet. Such a project means that you will receive not 36, but at least 50 square meters. m of usable area. And if this is not enough, you can always make an extension or redo the existing terrace for living quarters. In the center there is a living room with access to the kitchen, and separate bedrooms for adults and children in the attic.

In order not to be cramped in such a mini-house, buy folding furniture, which will help to preserve the maximum of useful space.




You can choose a rectangular house project 6x8 square meters. m, when the facade is projected on a longer side. It is necessary that the attic is not turned into a "tunnel" and has acquired a large width. The terrace is designed from the front side of the building, which is well lit.

The house has a size of 9x9 square meters. m even more room for planning functional premises. Kitchen and dining room can be combined with the living room. A small corridor leads to the bedroom and bathroom. And in the attic, you can place a bedroom, gym, nursery, wine cellar, dressing room or recreation room - in general, what you need most.


For the oblong-shaped house with dimensions of 8x10 square meters. m characteristic accommodation of rooms along the corridor. The advantage of this project is that on both floors it will fit in the bedroom, which means that a place for guests to rest will be provided for you.

Spacious house 10x10 square. m will be the perfect solution for a large family with children. There are several bathrooms, as well as a spacious dining room and kitchen. In the attic you can place several zones at once: bedroom, nursery, dressing room or guest room.


The terrace in all projects is attached to the house or is planned initially on a common foundation. It depends on the method of its fence and the presence of the roof. If you want to use the terrace for cooking food (for example, barbecue or kebabs), it is worth making a common foundation that will be durable and withstand the maximum load. If the terrace space is planned to be used for recreation, games or will perform a purely aesthetic function of decorating the house, then you can do with a simple and light wooden structure on piles or pillars.

Of course, typical projects are cheaper than exclusive and personal ones, but for individual orders designers and architects provide all sorts of nuances that will improve the quality of life outside the city, for example, they arrange special comfortable stairs for the elderly or equip a luxurious winter garden on the terrace or in the attic.



Materials

Now let's talk about the materials used for construction.

Tree

The most popular and eco-friendly version of the country house among our compatriots runs of wood. Wood is safe and even healthy material, but rather difficult to use.. It is necessary to carefully observe not only the technology of construction of the house, but also to take care of the special processing of the tree with compositions that protect it from external influences.

A wooden house is an ideal choice for the northern regions of the country, because this material retains heat very well, so you don’t even need an additional fireplace. The only drawback can be called the fact that during the construction of an eco-house you will have to wait six months due to shrinkage of the log house, and only then you can start the finishing work.

Of the advantages of wooden construction, we also note that the tree absorbs moisture, and when the air is too dry, on the contrary, it releases it. Therefore, the microclimate ideal for the human body will reign in the wooden house. And there is no need to talk about coniferous smell - it is healing for those who have problems with the lungs, and also for the simple prevention of diseases for healthy people.

Such material will also suit those who are allergic to dust, because the tree does not accumulate it.




Frame elements

Frame option is suitable for small and simple, in the sense of architectural solutions, houses. Frame elements are easy to install, so the construction of a country house will take you a minimum of time. Domestic companies produce frames made of wood and metal, ready-made or in the form of a collapsible structure. And the walls of such structures are made of PVC, chipboard and insulation. Thus, with minimal financial and time costs you will get a mini-house for a good rest in the midst of nature.



Brick

Among the advantages of such a building material as a brick, we note its reliability and durability - the service life of such a house will be at least 100 years, and with careful use even more. Brick house is obtained durable, fireproof and resistant to the negative effects of the environment.

Unheated and rarely used attic - boring and ugly! An excellent substitute for it is an elegant attic. But to build it, you need to carefully design the whole house and think about the smallest details.

Features

The construction of houses with an attic, for all its attractiveness, is more complicated than simple structures. It is required to carefully consider the layout and how the passage to the top will be organized. A very important point - consideration of the load created by the additional premises. The roof should initially be designed in such a way as to insure the room from unpleasant phenomena. To alter the usual roof in the attic is quite difficult, and the cost of such repairs will be great.


Under the two slopes you can place more space than under one, but this option has its own weaknesses. To always be warm inside, you need to design the heating system and ventilation as carefully as possible, to install a boiler of sufficient power. Typical projects sometimes do not take into account the need to build a staircase to the upper room. Because the owners need to decide for themselves exactly how they will rise and descend. It is worth thinking about how the windows will look, the facade outside.


Advantages and disadvantages

But before you begin to design and think over the details, collect information and prepare drawings, it is worth figuring out whether the construction of the attic is justified in principle or not. In the past, mansard premises were a lot of people who did not have the opportunity to settle on a full floor. Now, such housing is often chosen by creative and romantic natures, they find in it a special charm. But the traditional motive - saving money on a full-fledged residential tier - was not lost anywhere.


Unlike the residents of the first and even second floor of the house, the inhabitants of the attic can:

  • enjoy attractive views;
  • walk on the roof;
  • sunbathing;
  • receive many other simple pleasures of their location.


But there are bad sides. Drawing a house with an attic, the designers prepare longer than simple, and require more money for it. It will be harder to prove the correctness of the project documentation when communicating with the housing supervision authorities. Attic and attic is more difficult to heat, and the additional warm tier increases operating costs.

It will take a lot of work with other communications and infrastructure. Raise the water in buckets and go to eat in a cafe, as the artists of Montmartre did in the XIX century, now very few people will like it.


Materials

To get started is to deal with suitable materials, and they are quite diverse. Application aerated concreteallows you to achieve about the same thermal protection as when using wood, and the strength of the structure will be noticeably higher. Ecological properties of this material do not cause doubts, it is also pleasant that it does not ignite. But in order for the level of thermal insulation (without additional layers) to be comfortable, it will be necessary to use blocks not less than 600 mm thick.


The cells that form the aerated concrete block, inevitably make it vapor-permeable. Therefore it is necessary to create a high-quality ventilated facade according to all the rules. Intensive absorption of moisture makes it very difficult wet finishing work. To solve this problem helps only a special primer.

Using logswhen building a house with a loft allows for record environmental qualities.



The aesthetic characteristics of wood, even without additional finishing, are admirable. But the positive properties of this material are achieved only with strict adherence to technological standards, developed over many centuries. Be sure to use coniferous forest, selected extremely rigidly, including by safety standards. It is possible to harvest a tree only after the project has been drawn up, because dimensions must be strictly observed. Felling must meet the technological requirements, and the tree itself should be impregnated with antiseptics and flame retardants.


The construction of a frame house with an attic has the advantage that it settles immediately. There is no need to wait long months for a full draft, which inevitably arises during the construction of wood. American and Scandinavian types of frame are considered as quality standards. In these regions of the world, this technology has been used for many decades; therefore, it is perfectly developed, its strengths and weaknesses are thoroughly known. "American" stands out for ease of assembly and a significant reserve of strength.


Such housing is made strictly from dry lumber, no timber is not used in principle. The jibs are not used if a cladding of oriented strand board is used. Scandinavian frame format is less standardized and leaves more room for free search for optimal solutions. Tying the top of the wall is made single, racks along the entire length of the wall are threaded with a power bolt. In the window and door openings necessarily mounted single stand.


An alternative to frame and wood construction can be considered the use of gas silicate blocks. They are a bit more expensive than bricks, but they are noticeably lighter and they allow reducing pressure on the foundation. The porous substance has excellent thermal insulation and is highly resistant to compression. But the resistance to stretching of this environmentally friendly material is less.

Construction of houses above two floors is impossible without the formation of reinforcing belts.


As for the Finnish type of houses, this is a kind of frame buildings. It is easy to learn such constructions: one floor is located below, and the spacious attic is covered with a gable roof made of wood. But this is just a perfectly traditional solution. The most modern approaches sometimes imply the construction of two floors. Sometimes even a semi-basement is prepared, reserved for garages, workshops and the accumulation of old things.


Constructions

Types of houses may be different, but regardless of this they are formed in the form of a particular structure. The house with a mansard roof and bay window immediately claims to become a true decoration of the site. Elegant projections in the form of a circle or a rectangle on the outer sides are very much appreciated by designers. They found that this old tune can be very attractive even in the most modern surroundings.


Bay windows in many cases become the most romantic place at home, where it is easy to retire and break away from the constant presence of other people. In the round element it is advisable to put not only a small sofa, but also a coffee table, complemented by several comfortable chairs. Regardless of whether the bay window or not, you need to decide how to get the floor attic type.

Thinking through this, it is useful to consider that according to the sanitary requirements between the ceiling and the floor of the living room there should be at least 2500 mm.





Such a rule significantly limits the idea with the equipment of a two-story mansard building. Proper construction of it will cost too much and will be technically difficult.

For your information: the reduced cost of attic floors (per unit of area) is often exaggerated. Savings are achieved by combining with the walls of the roof rafters and covering the roof itself. Therefore, a head-on comparison with tiers of a house made from simple wall materials is simply incorrect.


Ventilation and water supply, heating and electricity, sewer pipes - all this adds hassle and increases the cost of construction. Therefore, if the goal is set to simply decorate a house, non-residential attic is much better than a permanent residence. With sufficient funds, this objection is immaterial. And in any case, many people want to add attic houses with a basement or balcony.

Both elements need to be considered at the design stage, because they directly affect the design being created. So, basements imply a deeper foundation of the foundation and its special structure. When building balconies and loggias, it is taken into account how they will be reflected on the wall, whether its carrying capacity is enough. This is a must even for balcony-type windows opening to the outside. After all, the external differences from the balcony of the usual form does not reduce the load at all.




Almost always, a gable roof is used for living space in the attic. It not only leaves more roofing space, but also improves the flow of precipitation down. That is why danger decreases, that they will flood the prepared room. It is a little more difficult to build a gable roof than a single-slope construction, but in material terms it is advantageous.


No matter how attractive the upper room, sometimes you want to stay down. For romantic and friendly conversations, for quiet tea drinking and contemplation of nature, the first floors are often equipped with a veranda. It differs from the terrace in that it is fully built into the house and, as a rule, is heated. The shape and finishing materials and the exterior color of the veranda depend almost exclusively on the personal preferences of homeowners. As for the addition of a mansard tower, there are a number of widely sought after options:

  • imitation of knights of knights' castle;
  • stylization under Old Russian terema;
  • semblance of gothic buildings;
  • openwork design looking upwards.





Projects

Planning a country house with a loft can be very different. But decisive importance when choosing a composition is the available area. After all, it depends on it whether it will be possible to put a certain decision into practice or not. Practical and modern people prefer projects of 6x6 or 6x4 m houses, such buildings differ in functionality and are relatively inexpensive. Dimensions of 7 by 8, 6x7 or 7x7 m make it possible to build a home even in the midst of a dense urban development and not to violate urban planning norms.

In the suburbs, it is desirable to choose such projects of small attic houses, which include the placement of attached garage canopies. A perfect layout implies at the same time a simple form, well-chosen proportions and attractive details. It is important to immediately think about which premises will be used mainly during the day, and where the sleeping zone will be located. When evaluating a project, one should also pay attention to:

  • the angle of the roof;
  • useful area (it is always less than the total);
  • foundation preparation technology;
  • view of the walls;
  • thermal insulation quality;
  • energy characteristics.




In small buildings you should not give a large share of the space under the corridors, otherwise chaos and many planning problems will inevitably appear. In houses 6 to 9, including corner ones, there are less difficulties in the construction of one floor, supplemented by an attic, than in the construction of a full-fledged two-story cottage. It is very important that the design materials are developed for a specific terrain and take into account the properties of the soil. For private houses, the size of 8x8 m turns out to be the maximum in the two-story variant: having made the dwelling even larger, you will have to spend too much energy and resources.

Choosing a single-storey 8x8 house with a mansard, one must inevitably come to terms with the simplified construction. But this is to some extent even dignity, because the speed of construction grows, and operating costs will be lower. In addition, the foundation can be made relatively light and reduce the need for earthworks. The placement of the sanitary unit is possible on the first and second floors.

The choice depends solely on personal priorities; on two floors, a family of three can sit quite calmly.


Projects 10x10, 10x12 allow you to organize a slightly larger space than in the 7x8 version. But such buildings for the most part do one-story. If you build them in two tiers, the overrun of materials and money will become simply phenomenal. The plan of the house 10 to 12 allows you to get almost square dimensions and make the most efficient use of the available space.

But for the L-shaped buildings of 5 by 11 m, the big problem is the “tram” or “compartment” look, which should be especially discussed.


Interior Design

Variants of a narrow attic can be quite different, but in any case it is necessary to overcome the feeling of "being in the car." This problem should be solved in the same way as in any other narrow rooms. A big role is played by the right choice of coloring. Make the attic more square in appearance will be obtained by trimming the oblong walls in bright colors, and the shortened ones in dark ones. Due to the contrast, the room becomes more dynamic, so you should not neglect the bright patches.

The original step is the use of niches. Contrary to popular belief, they do not absorb space, but increase it externally. It is useful to use large mirrors, hanging them on long walls. The most vivid wallpapers will be attractive, and when finishing the floor with laminate or parquet, it is worth to place their details in parallel to the narrowed edges. It is recommended to organize separate zones with the help of tracks and carpets.





A common mistake is to save space by putting furniture on a long wall. It is for this reason that the feeling of elongated space only intensifies. Corner furniture products are the most rational solution. The corners of the room themselves are recommended to be smoothed and visually softened. In this case, the layout should be such that it was possible to freely pass at both ends of the attic, not maneuvering between different objects.


It is not always necessary to wage a stubborn struggle against external defects of the interior. But the decorative advantages of the room should be fully provided in any case. Every attic wins if it is filled with air and light. On plain walls, simple windows can be used for this purpose; it is best to equip sloping surfaces with special openings. Increasing the size of the windows, you can add space to the room and get rid of visual pressure.


The chalet style, which has been extremely popular in recent years, categorically forbids trimming wooden beams with finishing materials. Not only that, they turn into an original design element, the most chic outwardly recognized are aged visually dark stripes on a light background. A very important element that affects the perception of any interior, will be competent lighting of space.   In the attic, where they intend to relax, you should choose the most creative solutions:

  • extraordinary combinations of materials;
  • bright and rich colors, the choice of which is almost unlimited;
  • texture variations;
  • catchy decorative objects.




To overcome the difficulties with the selection of furniture to the sloping walls help niche and built-in wardrobes. Not bad manifest themselves modular products or open shelves, customized to the height of the wall. In the lowest places usually have desks, beds and couches.

Important: zoning of drywall partitions disrupts the balance of the room, it begins to seem divided into small corners. Where to use original decorating moves for this purpose.



A wardrobe or a rack, in addition to the main function, becomes an excellent organizer of the space in the attic. Separation of areas for work or leisure can be achieved by placing a couple of chairs in opposite corners. Then the two will be able to do their own things, without interfering with each other. Custom design is achieved in the framework of high-tech style. Only it allows you to combine a lot of chrome and glass surfaces, illuminated elements, simple geometric shapes and designs.



All components of the interior in an ultra-modern attic should be functional and painted in uniform colors. It is better to refuse wallpaper when finishing, where paint and plaster are better suited to the canons of style. Upholstery of fabric or leather upholstered furniture will in no way disrupt the design intent. If funds are available, you can safely put in the attic furniture, designed according to an individual project. Continue the composition and give it completeness will help:

  • abstract or surreal painting;
  • emphasized avant-garde lamps;
  • partitions made of glass and mirrors;
  • tropical plants in pots.





Considerable popularity gained during the design of mansards such a style as minimalism.  It is suitable for those who seek to really get the maximum degrees of freedom. With high-tech, he has such a common feature as the mandatory functional load of each thing. But lighting devices should be as natural as possible, without elaborate technological solutions. Chasing a bright color is not worth it, most designers recommend to take two colors as dominant, and another one to accent.

Buildings with - a practical and very attractive idea for an individual plot. The cost of arranging a residential attic is less than the construction of a full floor, in the house there will be additional square meters. For the suburban area the best option -. Projects, photos of successful interiors and recommendations of experienced builders - in our material.

Even a small attic will transform the facade of the house and make it unique

Under the attic means living space under the roof. Roof for the arrangement of residential attic should have a double slope, so that the height of the attic space was not less than human height at the highest point.

Important!High ceiling should occupy at least half the area. Smaller sizes will cause discomfort in a person.

The outer wall of the residential attic consists of two planes: inclined and vertical. The vertical part is built from the base material of the house, the sloping part consists of blood rafters and inner lining.

Note!  Attic in town planning standards is considered a residential floor.

When building a private house, many owners think about the question: to give preference to a full floor or attic?

Advantages and disadvantages of summer houses with attic: projects with a full floor or residential attic?

The main argument in favor of the attic floor is always given the cheapness of its arrangement. Is it really? Reduced costs due to the use of frame construction of the roof. In practice, the larger the roof and, accordingly, the larger the area of ​​the frame for plating, the more profitable the attic.

But it should be remembered, no matter how spacious the attic is, it in any case takes up less usable area than the actual floor. It turns out that in order to make the attic room suitable for living, it is necessary to provide such an area of ​​the first floor that it at least twice as large as the attic.

In order to create a normal microclimate in the attic room, it is necessary to provide a ventilation system with forced air supply. All these costs will form an additional burden during construction. And in fact, the savings will not be so significant.

Proponents of mansard construction note that houses with such "figured" roofs look attractive. And designers add that the arrangement of a residential attic has a lot of original solutions.

Thoughtful owners do not like when something is lost in vain. Including - attic space. Some turn it into a dump of unnecessary things. But in fact, it can accommodate a full-fledged study, workshop, bedroom or even a children's room.

Opponents of such diligence remind that the active exploitation of the space under the roof worsens the condition of the roof structure and makes its repair much more difficult.

“Psychologists warn that the low attic ceilings make a person feel in a confined space, adversely affecting his psyche. Particularly impressionable natures may even feel choking attacks due to low ceilings and sloping walls. It is worth thinking about this fact when planning a children's room in the attic. ”

Supporters of a full-fledged second floor give the following comparison:

AtticSecond floor
Limited in layout with oblique structures.It has full planning options
Difficulties with the arrangement of full windowsNo problems with the organization of natural lighting
The design of the walls and ceiling of the attic does not allow to easily repair the roofMaintainability of the roof and simplicity of the roof design
Necessity in arrangement of a difficult roofUsing a simple-shaped roof
The need for forced ventilationUse of natural ventilation
Strong heating of the room on hot daysMaintain optimum temperature due to the presence of attic space

Despite all these disputes and disagreements, the projects of country houses with an attic and a veranda or a garage are very popular. This is not surprising, because the frame construction, which is gaining tremendous popularity, offers a variety of options for precisely such structures, with a large usable area and various layouts. Consider the photo projects of homes with attic more.

The best projects of houses with an attic: photos with drawings

A good residential project should take into account many factors:

  • the climate of the area in which the construction will be conducted;
  • soil and landscape features of the site;
  • a combination of finishing the house with its surrounding buildings and terrain;
  • organization of the most comfortable living conditions for all family members, taking into account their age and individual requests.

The finished house project with an attic is developed by professional architects with the participation of narrow specialists. It is important to consider not only the location of the rooms, but also the specifics of the placement of utilities.

For the suburban area suitable projects of a small area, 36 - 40 square meters. This space is enough to accommodate a kitchen and a spacious living room on the first floor and two compact bedrooms or a study in the attic. Houses with an area of ​​over 60 square meters accommodate a spacious living room, bedroom and kitchen on the first floor and rooms on the second.

For large houses it would be ideal to build a terrace, which can be accessed from the attic. From above the magnificent view on the nature will open.

Idea!  If the house is designed for year-round living, part of the roof can be glazed and use of the area for the winter garden.

Summer house with attic: 6x6 layout

With a minimum area is not easy. The project of a country house 6x6 with attic is the best choice. In this case, you have not 36, but at least 50 square meters of usable space.

If the cottage is needed only for seasonal visits, this space is enough for a small family. Over time, an extension can be made to the house if the number of family members increases. What should be considered in the project of a house with a loft 6x6:

  • maximum use of each centimeter of area;
  • the number of people visiting the house at the same time;
  • age of family members;
  • frequency of visiting the dacha.

When planning a house 6 to 6 with an attic, it is important to use all the space with maximum benefit. Traditionally, the center has a spacious living room with access to the bathroom and kitchen. All these rooms will fully occupy the first floor. That was not crowded, pick up compact furniture.

The kitchen should have two entrances: from the room and from the courtyard. Table setting in the summer gazebo will be much simpler, and it will be easier to cook on a hot day by opening the way out to the garden wide open.

In this embodiment, placed in the attic. Here you can make two full bedrooms for the owners and children.

For the bathroom enough four square meters. If the cottage is visited only in summer, summer shower can be arranged in the courtyard. Fans put on a steam bath at the site. If you do not include a shower or bathroom in the house, you can leave for the toilet three square meters. The washing machine is installed in the kitchen.

Frame houses with an attic (projects 6x6) do not provide for internal stairs. They are placed outside. This technique also allows you to significantly save space. To store things in the house should provide a compact mezzanine.

Here is a rough house plan with attic 6 to 6:

The specifics of the planning of houses 9 to 9 with an attic: photos of successful solutions

The house with a total area of ​​eighty square meters is a popular project. Builders note that this project has an optimal balance between cost and comfort of living. The classic layout includes a bedroom, a kitchen, a living room and a bathroom on the first floor and two or three more rooms in the attic. They can be used as additional bedrooms or they can organize a study, a creative workshop and a spacious wardrobe.

Another option for the location of rooms - in the planning of the house 8 to 10 with an attic. Photo example of this layout:

What you should know about planning a house 10 on 10 with an attic: photos of the best ideas

One hundred square meters on the first floor and seventy more on the second - in such a house can live a large family. There is a place for separate rooms for children, bedrooms for parents, a study, a spacious living room and a kitchen. From the side of the house does not look huge. Projects of a 10x10 house with an attic block made from an attic make an impression of being compact on the site. But this is exactly the case when the external impression is deceptive.

There is enough space not only for the placement of bathrooms on each floor, but also for organizing or bathing directly in the house. A convenient staircase with a wide aisle will allow you to easily raise bulky furniture.

In such a house usually provide a separate room for the boiler. If the house of foam blocks has a basement, laundry, appliances, heating, pantry for storing equipment and home seams are placed here.

Even a small attic can be decorated so that it fits everything you need. The inclined planes of the ceilings partially conceal the total area, but you can use them for stylish decoration of the room.

Projects of small houses with an attic usually involve a bedroom on the second floor. In the country version is logical to use natural wood trim.

If the attic occupies a significant area, the task is simplified. The niches between the rafters can be used as zoning elements. In one - place the bed, in the other - a desk by the window or a sofa for relaxing. On the issue of placing a children's room on the attic should be approached especially carefully.

If the study will be located in the attic, it is important to think about the lighting.

Another idea of ​​planning a house with an attic (photo below) is the placement of a wardrobe. Here you can build a compact and convenient storage system.

The construction of a residential attic is most often concerned about the owners of small country cottages. Before you decide on such a project, ask to visit with your friends, owners of similar design. Suddenly you suddenly feel a claustrophobic attack or, on the contrary, you will be impressed by the attic windows through which you can watch the clouds?

And the car itself will be reliably protected from all the vagaries of the weather.

What are the projects of houses with an attic of foam blocks

Projects of houses with an attic of foam blocks, photos of which are presented to you, are very popular with developers of individual housing. The reasons for such demand are that the houses of this material are very functional and look thorough and luxurious.

Projects of country houses with attic: advantages and disadvantages

Equipped under the roof for living or recreation is a good solution not only for cottages, but also for country houses. Usually the plots in the cooperatives are not large, but I also want to leave them in place.


Consumers stop focusing on small buildings with an attic of 6x6 or 9 × 9 m s. This is enough for the rest of the whole family, and adding a heating system not only in summer, but also in winter.

Using the attic floor embedded in the project gives the building owners several advantages at once:

  • increase in living space due to the attic arrangement;
  • with proper construction, the house will keep heat longer due to additional space;
  • general view of the house looks concise and beautiful;
  • on the attic floor can be realized interesting.

However, constructions of this type have negative sides:

  • not all architectural design ideas in the exterior of the house can be implemented using the attic;
  • you should carefully monitor the correctness of the roof so that it is comfortable at the attic floor at any time of the year;
  • in case of heavy precipitations in winter, the amount of natural light may decrease.

If all construction requirements are met, the additional living space will be comfortable, convenient and beautiful. Here are some projects of country houses with attic and:

Photos of single-storey houses with an attic: choosing material for construction

When thinking about building your own house, you should decide not only with the number of floors, the presence of the attic, the veranda and the garage, but also with the production materials. Answering the question of what is better to build a house, it is worth considering a few points:

  • Material costs.  Properly prepared estimates will save on construction. So, when choosing a lightweight material for the walls, you can do less deep.

  • Thermal insulation.  If you are planning a permanent residence in the house, pay attention to choose the material under the climatic conditions. On the cold walls will require a large layer, which is unprofitable.
  • The cost of construction. The total cost comes not only from the amount of material, but also from the spent labor and time. For example, block constructions are much faster to assemble than to make brickwork.
  • Exterior and interior.  This item is also calculated at the drafting stage. The decor is thought out in advance in order to get a structure suitable for exploitation at the exit.

Among the materials that are used for projects of one-story houses with an attic and a garage, as well as simple cottages, there are:

  • : service life from 100 to 150 years, perfectly keeps its shape and is not affected by temperature drops;

  • ceramic block  - modern material, cheaper than the first option, but it is not inferior in its characteristics;

  •   - element thickness 30 ÷ 40 cm, has a good indicator of thermal insulation;

  •   - naturalness and comfort, but the need to strictly comply with the technology of construction of the house and material processing;

  •   Perfect for simple country houses, easy and quick to mount, there are options made of wood or metal.

To make it easier to evaluate the final version of each material, here are a few photo examples of finished buildings with an attic:

Projects of houses with an attic of foam blocks: the advantage of the material

By construction, the roof roof can be triangular or polygonal. In the form of symmetrical or not, at the same time to occupy the entire area of ​​the roof or only its section. If you want to build an inexpensive and, stop the choice on foam blocks.


This material has several advantages:

  • has refractory properties and is not subject to the formation of fungus and mold;
  • build walls easily and quickly;
  • high rates of thermal insulation, and therefore does not require additional costs;
  • less labor costs, since one unit is quite light and can be lifted without special equipment.

Choosing material for construction, it is necessary to take into account the negative aspects:

  • a good layer is needed;
  • the foundation must be rigid;
  • masonry is carried out using reinforcements and expansion joints, which requires certain knowledge in construction;
  • in a climate with severe frosts, the external walls should be insulated with expanded polystyrene.

Any residential building needs to be designed, and especially carefully designed drawings for homes with attic. Such structures are different and have features that are taken into account when planning the construction.

Drawings and photographs of projects of single-storey houses with attic

The house with an attic is a popular variant of the residential structure, since the volume roof allows you to create a comfortable additional floor without the high costs of building a full-fledged wall, and then the roof. At the same time, it is necessary to provide good thermal insulation of the upper floor, as well as waterproof attic. This allows you to create optimal conditions for living and organize a comfortable layout.

The design of the building is also being developed at the design stage.

Building projects with an attic of 8 to 10

Residential one-storey house 8 to 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 designs, which include detailed drawings of buildings with planning, exterior design and other features.

The main stages of the project at home 8 to 10 are expressed in the following:

  • determining the area, height, height of the future structure;
  • 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 the project and drawings in the professional program;
  • result assessment, adjustment, selection of building materials.

There are many options for projects, but one of the most universal is the project presented below, which assumes the practicality of the upper floor. Attic is settled as carefully as possible, forming a full-fledged living space with all the amenities. This allows you to increase the useful area of ​​the building 8 by 10 m.

Special attention is paid to the design of the building.

In the drawing of this option there is a convenient layout of the first floor with an indication of functional areas. The parameters of the premises can be adjusted if necessary, creating a unique version of a residential building.

In the drawing indicate the area of ​​the premises

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

In the spacious attic is easy to equip several living rooms

Another project may suggest that there is a spacious dining room on the ground floor that serves as a living room. On the top floor of the attic type will be placed full-fledged residential premises. Several exits to the site will make your stay comfortable.

In a country house there are several exits to the plot.

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

On the ground floor there are two exits.

Attic allows you to maximize the use of each square meter of space. 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 house of 8 by 10 m can be adjusted depending on personal preferences or under the ready foundation of the house. It is also important to change the calculation of the load on the supporting structures, to take into account the location of communications.

Houses with attic 9 to 9

The construction of a house with an attic of 9 by 9 m saves the area of ​​the development site, but at the same time, the under-roof space, that is, the attic, is carefully designed. During construction, they take into account the shape of the roof, the thickness of the insulation layer, and they must use hydro and vapor barrier films. Due to this, the atmosphere of the attic floor will be comfortable at any time of the year.

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

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

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

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 objects 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.

It is easy to correct the scheme independently, but without making fundamental changes without professional knowledge of the architecture

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

Extra rooms can perform any functions.

The finished project of house 9 by 9, made of aerated concrete blocks, implies an exact calculation of all parameters. For example, in the next project, the building has an area of ​​73 m 2 and a house height of 8 m. At the same time, the angle of inclination of the roof is 18 °, and the diagram shows 3 living rooms. The roof is covered with metal. The foundation in the form of a monolithic tape ensures the reliability of the building.

Exterior finish may be different

The scheme of the first floor includes a living room, kitchen, bathroom, spacious hallway. This layout is different comfort, convenience and functionality.

The purpose of the premises can be determined individually

In the attic zone there is a spacious staircase, several rooms. Careful warming of the roof ensures comfort on the attic floor.

Volume roof allows you to make the optimum height of the walls

Building design 9 by 10 with attic

Construction of a building 9 by 10 with an attic can be carried out from different materials. Arrangement of attic allows you to make the construction of the most economical, but the apartment building will be cozy and durable. You can increase the functional space with the help of a balcony. On the ground floor of the house 9 by 10 is easy to arrange a summer terrace. The total area of ​​the structure of this size allows you to organize spacious areas in which every corner performs a specific function.

A house with a balcony on the top floor is one of the most comfortable options of buildings with an attic. The exterior of the building is distinguished by its modern style, and construction is carried out from high-quality bricks, foam blocks and other similar options.

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

The peculiarity of this residential project is that a part of the facade appears to be pushed back and the attic balcony is located at the top. At the same time on the ground floor there is a bathroom, living room, hall and other functional rooms. Thus, practicality and modern style of the building are combined.

The main floor is located on the first floor.

In the attic room there are living rooms and a bathroom, it can be equipped with a room or other functional space. If bringing communications to the bathroom of the second floor causes certain difficulties, then this room can perform any other function.

The location of the furniture is determined individually

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, given the peculiarities of the structures.

Design houses with garage and attic

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

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

  • the wall separating the house and the garage should have a sound insulation layer, and fire protection or alarm should be provided in all rooms;
  • garage area should be sufficient for the free operation of the premises;
  • if the attic is located above the house and the garage, then it is important to create a reliable system of floors, 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 residential space is single, and the attic is located only above the residential space.

A single roof allows you to create a harmonious design.

Drawing layout includes two schemes. The layout of the garage, the exits from the house, the porch, the veranda and other functional areas are detailed on the ground floor project. 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 total roof over the garage and the house does not require large construction costs

Due 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 less, then the usable area decreases, only the necessary zones are equipped.

Attic rooms are complete and functional.

Features of a two-story house with an attic

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

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

Designing a two-story building with residential attic space requires more careful calculation than the design of a one-story building. This is due to the fact that in the case of a two-story house the load on the foundation is greater than in another version. Therefore, to cover the roof, attic arrangement, use lightweight, durable and high-quality materials, and the installation and layout are performed according to the drawing.

The main floor is often located on the ground floor, facilitating the layout of the second and attic floors.

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

Restrooms are often located on the second floor.

A two-storey house with an attic can be built on a narrow plot. The presence of two floors and functional attic space provides practicality and convenience of the building.

Designing multi-roof mansard roofs

Multi-tongued roofing is popular in the construction of buildings with a mansard. Such a roof has several angles-slopes and is characterized by a complex construction of the truss system. At such corners, they often equip attic windows, which is a practical and convenient solution.

Multi-roof has a complex system of rafters, but has external originality

Complicated multi-tongued roofing is suitable for buildings that are built of brick, foam blocks, shell rock, or aerated concrete. The design may be symmetrical or asymmetrical. In the first case, the corner elements are evenly spaced, and in the second edge they can be at different levels. For any type of roofing, durable mauerlat, calculation of bearing capacity and careful selection of materials for construction are required.

Photo Gallery: variants of mansard roofs

The four-sloping broken roof is convenient for the attic arrangement. The complex shape of the roof requires an accurate calculation of all parameters. The hip roof is practical in operation. The hip roof makes the building original and cozy. The unusual design of the roof is developed individually.

Ready-made designs of houses with an attic let you know the features of the development of such functional buildings. Living quarters are always designed individually and depending on the region of residence, climatic conditions, area of ​​the site and other factors. Having carefully considered all the options, you can create a reliable and comfortable home with an attic.
