If there is a need to expand the house, then developers, as a rule, consider two options.

The first is the addition of additional premises. But, taken outside the perimeter load-bearing walls, they can only serve as household or auxiliary ones.

The second option is more acceptable. We are talking about additional square meters due to the reconstruction of the second floor. In this case, the design of a house with an attic is the most best option. By insulating the roof, you can get additional full-fledged living and utility rooms.

How functional and economically justified is it? Let's try to impartially consider all the advantages and disadvantages.

Projects of houses with an attic: “for”

• Such housing will save on building area. That is, it is logical to build a house with an attic on a small plot of land.
• In terms of rational use of the total area of ​​the building, designs of houses with attic space are superior to one-story and even two-story buildings, in which attic space not used rationally.
• The second floor of the house and the attic differ in terms of financial costs. IN classic version the attic is a more economical option. If to equip a full second floor you will need brick, concrete, timber, insulation, materials for exterior finishing, then the attic equipment is limited to rafters, insulation and roofing material. And if the developer plans warm attic, then the costs of insulation are added. Only in this case can you get both a residential floor and a roof. Therefore, we conclude that the cost of 1 m2 of usable area of ​​a house with an attic is significantly lower compared to other projects.
• Besides, warm air from the lower rooms rises, which makes heating attic floor less expensive. We can confidently talk about a reduction in fuel and electricity consumption, and, consequently, about savings in the operation of a ready-made building.

Projects of houses with an attic: “against”

• Some experts claim that main drawback projects of houses with an attic - their poor lighting. We are sure that this minus is conditional. The problem can be solved very simply by using roof windows. In addition, through them much more light enters the room than through vertical windows. Certainly, attic double-glazed windows- pleasure is not cheap. But with the funds saved during construction, you can afford a comfortable organization Everyday life. In addition, there is always the opportunity to design windows and even balconies in the gables.
• The second drawback of house designs with an attic can also be considered conditional. It is believed that sloping ceilings cause depression among the residents of the house. But competent organization and the design of the premises easily eliminate this contradiction.

We draw conclusions from the above

Buying a summer cottage is just the beginning. It needs to be planned, the optimal house must be selected, and a general concept for its design must be developed. In this article we will consider the most various projects country houses. From the smallest for one room, to very spacious ones - for 100 square meters of usable area.

With veranda and terrace

When choosing the layout of a country house, they often try to find a project with a veranda or terrace. Such a covered area is good not only for relaxing or eating on outdoors. On a rainy or hot day, you can do a lot of things under a canopy, which, due to large quantity You can't create trash in the premises.

On a common foundation

There are projects of country houses with a veranda small area: the smallest ones measure 6*4 meters, with the veranda taking up 2 meters on the long side, and the house itself - 4*4 meters or 16 square meters (taking into account the thickness of the walls, even less).

Another option - one room, in which space is allocated for several kitchen cabinets and a stove, costs a small dinner table and there is a sleeping place. This layout is ideal for one person. Two people will feel good in it. This option does not have a bathroom, so you will have to separate it.

The layout of a small country house (up to 40 meters) is quite simple: usually there are two rooms, the first of which is used as a kitchen and dining room at the same time. Most often it is a walk-through. The second room is living. You can more or less comfortably place two sleeping places here. So, projects of country houses with a 6*4 meter attic are designed to accommodate 1-2 people.

If the construction budget is very limited, consider country house projects with pitched roof. They are unusual for our country, but the cost of roofing for a small area is much less. You just need to choose the right one (taking into account the amount of snow cover).

A medium-sized country house is shown in the photo above. The project is interesting because the veranda here was originally “winter”, glazed. Most owners of open verandas come to the need to glaze it, and for a pleasant time outdoors. IN this project the veranda is a continuation of the living room, but a partition can be installed here. Overall, convenient and comfortable home with a traditional layout, all rooms are separate, there is a bathroom, a fenced off corridor. All conditions for year-round living.

On a separate foundation

Please note that the above projects of country houses with a veranda have common foundation. This is reliable, since even with spring heaving of the soil there will be no movement. But the foundation costs are significant. Therefore, this approach is justified on complex soils prone to heaving. On normal soils, you can build a veranda on a separate, disconnected and lightweight (usually columnar or pile) foundation. One such project is presented below.

In general, a veranda can be attached to any building. It can be laid at the design stage, or it can be added afterwards (as happens very often).

Small country house 6*4.5 with a veranda on a separate foundation

The veranda can completely occupy one side of the house, or it can cover two or even three of its sides. But there are options with a small open area (as in the photo above). In this case, the foundation may be separate, but there will not be much savings. For example, in the project above, only 1.1 meters of the main foundation were “gained.”

We are so accustomed to comfort that even at the dacha we don’t want to have “convenience in the yard.” For many, the main selection criterion is the availability of a bathroom. Even necessity does not scare them. Not all projects of small country houses can boast of such “excess”, but some have a bathroom (toilet and shower).

With attic

The idea of ​​increasing your living space comes often. It is believed that construction costs do not increase much, since most of the superstructure is a modified roof. In reality, if the attic is used all year round, the difference in the price tag for a two-story house and a one-story house with an attic will be small. After all, we must take into account that the area of ​​​​the attic floor premises is much smaller, and the costs will be high, since good heat, sound, and vapor insulation is required.

Attics under a gable roof

A country house with a summer attic will be really cheap. But it must be taken into account that on sunny days it will be too hot there without insulation, so thermal insulation is still necessary, but not as “serious” as for winter use.

A country house with a summer attic will be really cheap. But it must be taken into account that on sunny days it will be too hot there without insulation, so thermal insulation is still necessary, but not as “serious” as for winter use.

The country house projects presented above are intended for seasonal visits. They only provide living rooms. In the room on the first floor you can organize a kitchen corner.

Below is the layout of a small garden or country house measuring 5 by 5 meters with a dedicated kitchen. Please note that the porch is attached and is not on the plan.

All these houses are designed as frame houses. With minor modifications, these designs can be used for houses made of any other material. You just need to take into account the thickness of the walls and choose the right foundation.

If desired, the covered veranda can be made open. Although, usually the opposite happens. Having built an open one, it is glazed or pushed out to half the wall, and single frames are installed. If you want fresh air, the windows can always be opened, and the area can be allocated for a summer dining room or kitchen.

How to increase the area of ​​the attic floor

All projects of country houses with an attic floor are made under gable roof. This is good in the sense that the snow will not linger on such steep slopes. The second advantage is that it’s easy rafter system. The downside is the small area of ​​the “full” room upstairs. Too much wasted space around the edges. You can make cabinets there, but this area is unsuitable for living.

If it is important for you to increase your living space, you can make the roof sloping. It is more complex and more expensive, but the area of ​​the premises on the attic floor is much larger.

Another way to increase the area is to raise the walls above the level of the first floor. They say to build “one and a half floors.” This option is good for dachas that are visited during the cold season. The roof can be made as you like, but a large area of ​​​​the rooms still turns out to be broken.

Example of “one and a half floor”

When choosing a project for a country house with an attic for periodic visits, it is better to make the attic cold and make the ceiling insulated. On the stairs that lead to the second floor, it is necessary to provide a door/cover that will fence off the upper tier. Otherwise, heating will take a lot of fuel and time. In winter, there are usually fewer people, and visits are short. Warming up both floors is too time-consuming and expensive, so this isn't a bad solution.

Projects of two-story country houses

Construction two-story house not such an expensive idea. You still need one foundation, albeit a more powerful one, but its cost does not increase twice, but by 60%. The dimensions and insulation of the roof do not depend on the number of storeys at all, so there is no need to increase investments. Added costs for the walls - their area is twice as large, but overall the cost square meter area is cheaper than when building a similar one-story dwelling. That’s why many people are looking for designs for two-story dachas.

Project of a small two-story house for a summer residence with an attached garage: living area 100 sq. m. m, total 127 sq. m, garage for one car

The above project is designed for aerated concrete or ceramic building blocks. Suitable for long areas. Attached garage very convenient to use - you can get into the house from the garage. Another plus: this option saves space on the plot, and there is always little of it at the dacha, no matter how big the plot you have.

In this layout option, there is a spacious terrace on the back side of the house. IN total area She doesn't come home. An interesting design makes the house different from others: a large window on one and a half floors, a cubic-shaped garage and a canopy in front of the house do not affect the price tag too much, but make the house unique.

Another project for a two-story dacha with a garage attached to the side is presented above. This option is more suitable for square or wide areas. The building area in plan is 10*10 meters, living area is 108 square meters. The tall windows on the second floor give this house an unusual appearance. The selection also makes its contribution finishing materials, a combination of light beige and brown colors. Overall an interesting project.

A non-standard-looking two-story house with a balcony that encircles the entire building. At the rear there is a large open terrace. The roof is hipped, which complicates the design, but gives the building a special flavor.

With sauna

For many people, a dacha is associated with a bathhouse. A bathhouse, of course, can be built separately, but it is time-consuming and expensive. In a medium-sized country house, it is quite possible to set aside a room for a steam room. It is usually made with an entrance from the bathroom/WC, since water procedures necessary. For true steamers, there should still be access to the street nearby: so that you can quickly cool off in a river or outdoor pool.

The minimum size of a steam room is 2*2 meters, the optimal size is 3*3. Such rooms can be fitted even into small houses, but at the same time the amount of living space will be reduced. If you still need to have enough rooms, you can consider the option of an attic floor. One such example is in the photo below.

Pay attention to the layout. The first thing you should focus on is that the stove is installed in such a way that it is heated from the next room. IN in this case This is the rest room. The option is not very good, since the entrance is far away. You will have to carry firewood across the room, which is inconvenient and usually results in a lot of garbage.

Another drawback: this option does not have a kitchen. For country life this is a serious drawback. Kitchen Area can be organized in big room, the bedrooms should be placed exclusively upstairs. Another layout option is to make a kitchen in the current “furnace/recreation room.” It’s more convenient to relax in large room. It’s convenient to go in there after taking a shower.

Small and inexpensive

Small dachas are usually designed using the most inexpensive construction technologies. In our country, this is frame technology and wooden houses. Houses made from porous building blocks (,) are in approximately the same category. But they are still not so popular.

Projects of country houses using frame technology

Small country houses are usually built according to frame technology. , you can buy ready-made ones - prefabricated ones. These are two technologies that, with minimal investment of money and time, allow you to have good holiday housing.

To optimize the budget for building a country house, look for projects whose foundation on the plan is a rectangle or square. The presence of any protrusions leads to an increase in the price per square meter. Not only do the costs of the foundation increase, the area of ​​the walls increases, and, therefore, the costs for them. The roof is also more expensive - the rafter system is more complex, there are more complex components.

Layout of a 6*4 country house with kitchen, toilet, summer veranda

One more point for those who plan to visit the dacha in winter time. To prevent warm air from escaping from the house when walking back and forth, it is advisable to make the entrance with a vestibule. If the area does not allow it to be built-in, make an extension. This will greatly reduce fuel consumption and the time it takes to warm up the house.

Beam and log

One of the most common building materials in our country: timber and logs. The advantage is that a small country house can be built very quickly. Minus - long-term shrinkage (from six months to a year, depending on the initial moisture content of the log and climatic conditions). Before the end of the active shrinkage period, carry out Finishing work It’s not worth it, which delays the possibility of using the building. This does not apply to standing log houses (ready-made kits) or laminated veneer lumber. But the price is significantly (twice) higher for such options.

A small country house made of 4*4 timber - a very simple project

If we talk about the smallest country houses, they measure 4 by 4 meters. Doing less simply doesn't make sense. The layout in this case is quite simple: it’s just one room. They can differ only in their orientation to the cardinal directions, the number and location of windows. Doors can also be located in the middle or on the side. All. The options have run out.

The house will be a little larger in area, 6*4 meters. Here in its “pure” form we have about 22 squares of area, place 14-15 in the previous version. The layout is still not very diverse, but you can already fence off the kitchen area.

If we talk about optimal costs, then the above country house projects are not the best option. The fact is that it is better to make timber or log cottages 6*6 in plan. The fact is that the standard length of both beams and logs is 6 meters. If the walls of your house are smaller, you need to either look for a non-standard length of suitable length, or saw off the excess from the standard ones. Yes, non-standard costs much less, but you will have to look for it in different sawmills. Even at the largest sawmill, it is more than difficult to find timber or logs 4-5 meters long in sufficient quantities for construction. So you will have to “iron” everything nearby. It is difficult to say what the quality of the material will be. Although, if it doesn’t work for you, you can buy the same non-standard logs for several years, put them in piles, bringing them to operating humidity. In general, this is good plan. It just takes a lot of time to implement.

Most individual developers, as the basis for a future country or country house, choose a house project with an attic and a veranda, 6x8 or 7x8 m in size. In the minds of the future summer resident, the presence of these two elements personifies convenience and comfortable outdoor recreation. But in reality, not every house project with an attic can be as convenient as it looks in the plans and on the designer’s paper. Practical experience in developing such complex schemes and careful design taking into account all the features of the building are of great importance.

What do the attic and veranda provide for a country house?

Undoubtedly, for a house measuring 6x8 it would be very prudent to plan a small veranda in the building design, and raise the roof and make it sloping so that the attic space could be converted into an attic. But in this case, you will need to take into account some recommendations from experts:

• For a 6x8 rectangular house, the facade of the house will need to be designed along a wide, eight-meter side. Only in this case can you obtain an acceptable attic width of 2.8-3 m with a length of 6 m. Otherwise, the attic turns into a tunnel measuring 2.5x8;
• The veranda room is best located on the illuminated part of the building. For a frame house with an attic, an area of ​​6x8, it would be most rational to place the veranda in the form of an extension or the first floor of the house on the front side of the building;
• Part of the veranda is usually left open and used as an area for outdoor recreation; in this case, the project can be considered as a building with an attic and a terrace.

Advice! Today there are no clear signs distinguishing a built-in terrace from open veranda, therefore, it is important to correctly understand what exactly should be built in the house plan in order to explain to the designer.

If we limit ourselves only to names and terms, a company or designer may interpret similar concepts in their own way, and as a result, the original concept of the house will be lost.

Projects of country houses measuring 6x8 m

When developing the layout of the house, you will need to take into account that the attic and veranda have completely different functions and structure:

1. The attic in the vast majority of cases is used as sleeping area. In summer it is always hot under a hot roof, so more or less favorable conditions will only be in the autumn-winter period of the year. Even if the project includes a small balcony, there will clearly not be enough space for a comfortable rest;
2. The veranda is the complete opposite attic. In any project, the veranda remains an uninsulated temporary shed or summer kitchen. Often, owners rebuild and expand such a structure several times.

Advice! The best option would be to plan the entrance to the house through the veranda. This classic solution will “eat up” some part of the living space, but the resulting gain will compensate for the loss.

Features of building a house from a block

When choosing a project for block houses, you usually have to take into account the design features of the building’s foundation. All more or less successful designs of houses made of foam blocks involve the use of a rigid, shallow concrete strip or a slab-pile version of the foundation as a foundation. Due to the low rigidity of foam concrete walls, the veranda must be built according to a bay window, or the room must be reinforced with columns.

The version of the house shown in the photo with an attic and an insulated veranda is practically indistinguishable from ordinary ones country cottages. MZLF was used as the foundation. The foam concrete walls in this project were reinforced with additional brickwork, which made it possible to make the room as warm and bright as possible.

In the attic room arrangement project, a classic technique was used - the roof gables were finished cement-sand plaster and painted in White color to reduce thermal load. Left, sunny side The entrance to the house is closed with brickwork and climbing plants.

The roof attached veranda can be used as an open terrace or balcony, as in the photo.

In this case, the veranda is designed as a separate extension on the common slab foundation. Attic room it turns out a slight elongation, almost square shape, which allows you to install two windows on the gable of the building. According to the project, a 6x8 house is covered with clapboard or siding. The roof is made of bitumen shingles.

The veranda can be built in the form of a bay window, and two entrances can be provided for the building at once. If you wish, you can go directly to the veranda, bypassing the main entrance. To increase the amount of light reaching closed veranda, doors side entrance on the east side they are made of double-glazed windows.

A rather interesting combination of three main rooms at once, a terrace, an attic and a veranda is shown in the photo.

The construction was carried out on a powerful strip foundation With ground floor. The veranda room is raised above the ground and glazed. The use of a gable asymmetrical roof made it possible to increase usable area attics by almost 40%, and remove the main part of the heat load from the sun using a very long and flat roof slope.

Families with average incomes are especially interested in houses with an attic and a veranda. They are built in cities, towns, on, they can be single or log, or built from large-format or lightweight concrete blocks. Often residents try to move away from the city noise and bustle. Therefore, today there is a high demand for products that can be sold outside the city.

Project of a 6x8 country house with a small veranda and attic

The first stage of construction of any structure is design. Construction companies offer. Their most important advantages:

Wooden houses can have a variety of layouts, including any house made of timber with an attic. Construction companies take this into account and offer clients the following developments:

• They are becoming increasingly popular, the implementation of which is possible both in the city and beyond;
• Increasing demand for house designs made of profiled timber, giving buildings a fashionable and luxurious look;
• Projects of country houses made of timber with an attic have received no less recognition;
• Those who like to relax in the country are in fashion today.

A custom-designed project will cost slightly more. But construction will be carried out taking into account all the wishes and requirements of the customer.

Layout and design of a 6x6 cottage with a veranda and attic

Unexpected difficulties that often accompany the implementation of a typical project development will not arise. In addition, it will be carried out in relation to specific conditions land plot.

Advantages

For a long time in Rus' they built from coniferous trees, which were selected as evenly as possible, processed with an ax, and then the links of the log house were laid out from them. Today, rounded logs or profiled timber are used for the construction of dwellings. This is an almost ideal building material, which has one drawback: a fire hazard.
Advantages wood material:

Types of timber

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

Houses made of timber

Wooden houses made of timber also have all the listed advantages of wood materials. They are built by the most different sizes. From the future owner hearth and home huge selection:

Almost any capable home craftsman can develop a simple house project from 6x6 timber. He can also bring his development to life, although additional labor will definitely be needed. It is quite possible to do without heavy equipment. In general, building such a home with his own hands will cost him less than hiring a specialized construction crew.

Where to start

Regardless of the size, a house made of timber with an attic begins to be built by pouring the foundation. It must be strong and reliable, so before pouring it, they study the soil on which the structure will be built. For loose, silty, deeply frozen soil, use screw piles. IN middle lane In Russia, more often than others, a strip fundamental foundation is being built.

If you are planning a dwelling made of timber with a veranda and an attic, then its foundation must be rigidly connected to the base of the extension to create uniform design veranda house. But this is optional if the walls of the objects are not connected by a rigid snap. In this case, unequal shrinkage will not harm both buildings. Building a dwelling from timber is less labor-intensive than from round logs. The quadrangular profile allows you to quickly and as tightly as possible connect the links of the log house with each other. A country houses with an attic are built with walls that do not require large costs for additional finishing.

Layout of the first floor with veranda and attic

In profiled building materials, sometimes the front side is made convex, which makes the entire building seem to be made of round logs. Standard length wooden beam six meters. Then you will have to order building material of the appropriate length from the woodworking enterprise for the walls. They produce beams up to 10 m long and more.

But a residential building made of 8x10 timber with an attic can be built using standard material, and lengthen it during installation. In this case, the horizontal links should be laid so that the joints do not coincide, but are offset relative to each other.

And in order for the walls to be more durable, the crowns must be fastened with fasteners, which are most often used wooden dowels. To familiarize yourself with the layout, you can view diagrams of various residential buildings on the Internet. Developers often choose a home made of 7x8 timber with an attic and a veranda.

Ready-made house project 7x8 with attic and veranda

It looks great and has optimal dimensions that fit two bedrooms, a living room, and a hall. The simplest living space with an attic can have the same premises. Its choice is often dictated by the features of the relief or the scale of the land plot allocated for development. will differ slightly in the size of the kitchen, living room, bedrooms in width and length.

Frame houses

Their construction is not complete without the following elements:

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

Blocks are produced, as a rule, at specialized construction enterprises. But experienced home craftsmen can make them at home.

Projects frame houses with attic and veranda

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

1. Relatively low cost and short construction time compared to those that would be needed to build a house from timber.
2. Lightweight construction that does not require a massive, expensive foundation.
3. Saving wood material. Unlike building a dwelling from timber frame house with an attic it will require half as much wood.
4. Possibility of construction in any season, with your own hands and without the use of special tools and complex construction equipment.

Most popular on summer cottage uses a 6x8 frame house with an attic.

Layout of all floors of a 6x8 house with an attic

This best option homes outside the bustling city. It provides comfortable year-round accommodation families of 3–4 people. This is the golden mean between the construction of a 6x6 frame house with an attic and the same one, at the same time it does not limit the realization of design fantasies.
Can develop a simple project for a 6x8 frame house House master. But you should start from where future construction is expected, and take into account all existing buildings and plantings, especially if you plan to build garden house.

Project and layout of a garden house 6 by 6 meters

Square meters of the first floor are usually allocated for the kitchen and living room, and bedrooms are located in the attic. , built-in garage or basement. To build a 6x8 frame house with an attic, like any other building of this type, choose a construction technology. It comes in two types:

1. Assembly of residential buildings from ready-made panels - panels, manufactured in a factory in compliance with all technological requirements.
2. Installation of the frame at the construction site using long parts, which are then sheathed with insulation. It is quite possible to perform all these operations yourself.

Houses with an attic are the embodiment of a comfortable and pleasant country life. Such cottages allow greater freedom in the choice of materials, design and layout of the house. In this article you will find 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 that the upper part of the structure is subject to temperature changes. It is equally important to take care of the waterproofing of the room. Select lightweight materials for the attic floor. This applies to both interior decoration, and even furniture. Do not overload the foundation and walls due to the possible appearance of cracks.

It is best to form a small attic area into a single space, but if it is necessary to create internal partitions You should give preference to drywall. This material will not cause additional load on the foundation of the house.

How to build a house with an attic?

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

1. Calculation of additional load. You cannot arbitrarily attach an attic to a one-story house, as this will lead to cracks and subsequent destruction of the foundation. If you decide to complete the attic on an already existing walls, take care of strengthening them.
2. Calculation of attic height. The minimum height from floor to ceiling is 2.5 m.
3. Proper roof design. When designing it, it should be taken into account that gable design will add only 67% of the base area of ​​the house. The so-called “broken” roof will add approximately 90% of the area of ​​the first floor. But raising the roof by 1.5 m can increase the area by 100%.
4. Provide communication communications between the base and the attic;
5. Think it over layout, places for and windows;
6. 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 at 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.
