A cottage with an attic, complemented by a built-in garage, is a synthesis of the maximum functionality of a dwelling with the economy of its construction and further living. "Domamo" will offer you the development of buildings of this type - in the catalog of projects of houses with an attic and a garage, there are dozens of options with photos, the ability to preview characteristics and layout drawings.
Advantages and disadvantages of attic houses with a garage
Projects attic houses with a garage are extremely popular in the suburban area of Moscow, St. Petersburg and other Russian cities. They are valued due to the placement of a spacious cottage on a small plot of land, as well as the advantageous proximity of a car protected from weather troubles. This gives the homesteader the mobility they need modern man. Such housing is also characterized by the following important qualities:
- Insulation of the upper rooms from cold and wind by roof slopes, under which bedrooms and children's rooms,
- Savings on the construction of additional walls and ceilings required in a full-fledged two-story house and a separate garage,
- Device Capability unified system residential heating and warm room for a car,
- Usage various materials, many options for planning and exterior finishes.
However, when choosing such housing, it should be remembered that the attic over one-story buildings has a slightly smaller area than a full-fledged second floor. When building a garage into a house, also pay attention to which rooms have common partitions with it. Such a neighborhood will negatively affect the microclimate of bedrooms and guest rooms, where extraneous sounds and gases can penetrate.
Designing a house with an attic and a garage
Cottage attic type with a garage complex is enough complex structure which requires the mandatory participation of specialists at the design stage. The "Domamo" catalog already contains finished works, the results of which can be seen in the drawings and photographs. You can find the project you need using the advanced filter by asking yourself in the search:
- Floors of the future building,
- Materials of walls, ceilings, roofs, external cladding, etc.,
- The area and composition of the premises,
- The dimensions and functionality of the technical zone (garage for one or more cars, etc.),
- The presence of balconies, terraces, additional equipment and much more.
One of the challenges is raising funds to build a house. When they are already there, then you have to choose a project for the future building. It should take into account all the wishes of the tenants, as well as additional needs. Instead of building a house with two floors, you can organize an attic under the roof. If you have a car, good decision will be the construction of an adjoining garage. The article will consider the advantages of such a solution, as well as finished projects buildings.
What to consider when designing
Before you draw up a project for a house with an attic, you need to decide on the following points:
- how many people will live in the house;
- how many bedrooms are planned;
- will there be a guest room;
- how the attic will be used;
- how the heating will be implemented;
- how many bathrooms will be in the house;
- Will there be utility rooms?
- will there be a separate room where the washing machine will stand.
Depending on the purchased plot, you can choose the size for the future home, which will have an attic and a garage. It is important that each family member has his own private room where he can have a good rest. If there are plans to receive guests, it is important that there is at least one bedroom for them. It can be located not on the main floor, but in the attic. At the same time, it is important then to provide for the presence of a separate toilet in the attic. Utility rooms in a house with an attic are definitely needed so that there is a place to store various household utensils. It is also worth thinking about how the heating will be implemented. For some types of boilers, it is important to have a separate room, and sometimes even a building. It would be nice to have a separate laundry room where you can place a linen closet, as well as a washer and dryer.
building material
Already at the stage of designing a house with a garage and an attic, it is important to decide what material will be used. For one-story house, which will have a garage and an attic, great solution foam blocks will be used. This material has many advantages, among which it is worth highlighting:
- light weight;
- high speed of wall construction;
- minimum thermal conductivity;
- ease of finishing;
- environmental Safety.
Foam blocks have a size that is several times larger than the size of one brick, so the work on pasture walls is significantly reduced. In addition, the weight of one block is not too large, so you do not have to tear your back when erecting. Although the blocks need external finishing with the installation of insulation, they themselves have minimal thermal conductivity. Foam blocks consist of environmentally friendly clean materials, so you don’t have to worry about harm to households. Among the shortcomings of the material, it is worth noting the exposure to moisture, so it is necessary to perform exterior finish in short time.
Foundation
The foundation of a building with an attic and a garage is very important, because the reliability and service life of the house will depend on the foundation. It should be understood that if the walls are driven out of the foam block or gas block, then the presence of strip foundation. The attic will provide additional load, so the foundation should be given due attention. At the slightest deformation of the base, cracks will go along the walls that cannot be repaired with anything. It is desirable to deepen it below the mark to which freezing occurs. Such a move will reduce the impact on him heaving soils and extend the service life. In addition, heat loss through the floor will also be less.
Attic
The attic is a multifunctional structure. We can say that its construction is the best solution for how to use the attic space. Some did not want to build an attic earlier, because normal insulation materials had not been developed. Today this issue can be considered resolved. The advantages of having an attic can be considered:
- additional area;
- additional insulation;
- completeness of the design;
- construction without the use of technology;
- the possibility of a variety of uses.
The attic provides almost the same area as on the first floor. Of course, everything will depend on what form of roofing will be chosen. Thanks to the attic floor, heat loss is reduced. This is due to the fact that under the roof there is always warm air, which is a protective cushion. When building an attic, there is no need for heavy equipment. If initially built two-storey house, it may be necessary to use a crane to deliver building materials. The attic can be used as:
- gym;
- sleeping floor;
- billiard room;
- large lounge;
- flower garden.
These are just some possible applications for the attic. You can not make partitions in it and then it will serve big room to spend time together. It should be understood that the attic has an additional load on the walls. If they are built from a foam block or gas block, then there is a need for an armored belt for the attic. It will be possible to rest the base of the roof on it. In this case, the pressure on the walls of the house will be distributed evenly, which will eliminate subsidence and the appearance of cracks.
When designing a one-story house, which will have an attic and a garage, it is necessary to correctly calculate its height. For comfortable movement inside, the distance from the ceiling to the floor must be at least 2.4 meters. It was said above that a lot depends on the shape of the roof. If it is gable, then you can count on 67 percent usable space. A broken roof is more difficult to build, but can increase this figure by up to 90 percent. If there is a need and desire to achieve the same living area as at the main level, then the roof will need to be raised by at least 1.5 meters.
Note! For fire safety it would be nice to provide for the possibility of an additional exit in the project. For this, a fire escape is installed outside the window.
Some difficulty may lie in conducting communications to the attic, so if there is no false ceiling on the first floor, then similar rooms can be placed exactly above the same ones below. This, for example, can be a bathroom or a kitchen. Then you don’t have to make boxes in which pipes will be hidden. The disadvantage of the attic is the lack of thick walls, as is the case with the main building. Due to this state of affairs, it is necessary to correctly approach the choice of insulation. Options to consider are:
- stone wool;
- extruded polystyrene foam.
Some time ago, glass wool was common, but it has several significant shortcomings. Firstly, it absorbs moisture quite well, and secondly, it is not very pleasant to work with it, because contact with the skin leads to itching and irritation. In addition, over time, glass particles begin to enter the air, which irritate the lungs and mucous membranes. Expanded polystyrene is an excellent insulator and has minimal heat dissipation, which is why many people choose it. The manufacturer "Penoplex" has a separate the lineup especially for roofing.
It should be understood that, due to its density, polystyrene foam does not have vapor permeability. This can cause steam to condense on the insulation in the attic. The consequence of which will be the development of mold, which is sure to amaze Construction Materials. It will be impossible to live in such an attic. When installing polystyrene foam, it is important to provide good ventilation, which will contribute to the rapid replacement of air masses. One of best solutions counts mineral wool for attic insulation.
The material has some vapor permeability, absolute ecological cleanliness and easy to install. Under roof deck waterproofing is laid in the attic, under which, in turn, a heater is attached. Additionally, the insulation is covered with a vapor barrier. There is another option for insulating the attic roof with polyurethane foam. This is a fairly quick and effective procedure, but its cost is quite high. In the case of such a choice, a good ventilation system is also important for the attic.
An important factor in the project of a one-story house with an attic is the choice of a place to place the stairs. It should allow all family members to freely ascend and descend. someone found perfect solution in putting spiral staircase.
Garage
The size of the garage in an attic house project will depend on how many cars the family has. If there are two or more of them, then you need to correctly choose the location of the entrance and its dimensions for the garage. If the house is located on some hill, then you will need to build a small ramp to climb to the garage. It can be finished with tiles, paving stones or asphalt.
Finished projects
The above is a great example of a one-story house project that includes an attic and a garage. There is a large living room, which is combined with a dining room. From the dining room there is an unobstructed exit to the kitchen. The kitchen has a second exit to the corridor. It contains a staircase to the attic and entrances to other rooms. You can see that the bathroom in this house with an attic and a garage has small area. If desired, it can be expanded with a utility room. Convenient is the fact that there is access to the garage directly from the house, which is especially convenient in winter.
Here is a great example compact house on one floor with an attic and a garage. The garage does not have an entrance from the house, which made it possible to exclude additional heat losses and place a living room and a bathroom through the wall from the garage. The latter is implemented in an interesting way. The entrance to the bathroom is through the toilet, and they are separated by a partition, which is very convenient. The flight of stairs to the attic is located in the corner of the living room, which saves space. The area of \u200b\u200bthe kitchen allows you to dine right in it with a small family. The bedrooms are located in the attic.
Above is an excellent house project with an attic and a one-story garage. The space on both levels is used to the best advantage. A house with such a layout will allow you to receive many friends. There are three in the attic large bedrooms. Two of them have separate wardrobe rooms. These bedrooms can be master bedrooms. Also in the attic there is a separate bathroom, which is very convenient. The rise to the attic is carried out from the hall, which makes it possible to place a hanger under the stairs for outerwear or toolbox. In the video below, you can see another house project with a garage and an attic.
Summary
As you can see, the attic makes it possible to maximize the area of \u200b\u200ba one-story house. In addition, the adjacent garage guarantees constant monitoring vehicle, as well as ease of maintenance in winter time. In the garage, you can make a separate branch of heating, which is turned on for the time when maintenance will be performed.
Projects of houses with an attic and a garage are especially popular, photo visualizations and layouts of such projects are presented in this section. Agree, is it really convenient to have everything under one roof: a garage and a house? In addition, this solution allows more rational use usable area site. This is especially true for regions where there is a lot of snow in winter and prolonged frosts. However, in addition to comfort, do not forget about the rationality of layouts. If you choose a similar project at home, pay attention that the exit from the garage to the living quarters is thought out, for example through the main entrance hallway. An important role is played by the vestibule, which cuts off exhaust gases and other unpleasant odors from the garage. Choose the project that best suits you, and do not forget that you can always make changes if something does not suit you. Carry out redevelopment, replace wall material, etc.
A house with an attic allows you to effectively use a small area of \u200b\u200bthe site. In addition to rationality, the attic adorns the private Vacation home. Quite often on attic floor there are bedrooms and recreation areas.
The lower floor can be redesigned in such a way that on the same foundation with the house there is also a garage for a car, or even for two.
The advantage of a garage combined with a house is that:
- the car is in a warmer room, because at least one of its walls is adjacent to the house;
- it is more convenient to bring in / take things out of the car;
- appears extra bed for storing the accessories necessary for the car owner;
- savings on pouring the foundation and material for the walls.
The above factors indicate the demand for such layouts, therefore, various projects of a house with an attic and a garage are offered.
You can classify projects in different ways, but they all include 3 sections
- architectural;
- Engineering;
- constructive.
We invite you to take a look at some of the projects.
The size of the plot for the construction of such a house.
The project of a one-story house with an attic and a garage for two cars
If there are often guests in the house, or the family owns more than one car, then projects have been developed for them one-story houses with an attic and a garage for two cars, photos of which are presented below.
Plan and dimensions land plot, and the layout of the house on it.
The material was prepared for the site www.site
The proposed projects are developed taking into account all the requirements and standards of construction and communications.
Naturally, each of them provides for changes in accordance with the proposals of a particular customer.
- minor changes. May include changes to the size of windows, doors, or their location. In this case, in any of the proposed projects, you can make adjustments and start construction;
- significant changes. Relate to redevelopment, type of ceiling, height of the premises. Here the project will act as a guideline. If you do it yourself, then you will need to familiarize yourself with additional regulatory literature that regulates certain decisions;
- significant changes. Affect transfer load-bearing structures and changing engineering solutions. This entails the development of a new project.
The projects presented on this page are examples, we do not develop or modify existing projects. The materials are informational in nature.
When designing a house with an attic and a garage, you need to study as much as possible more projects. This will make it possible to develop a detailed project, as well as take into account all the nuances, so that during the construction phase there are no hitches or problems that will affect the operation of the building or even make it impossible to build it.
Projects of houses with an attic and a garage are aesthetically pleasing and practical. the best option rational use of the area is simply not to come up with. Few people use the attic, except perhaps for household needs. But having improved it a little, you will get a magnificent house with an attic, where you can place a children's room, a bedroom or an office.
Attic in the house
Now more and more often they order a house project with an attic and a garage. Such a compact extension makes it possible to significantly save land space for arranging a cozy courtyard, besides, it looks beautiful. Such a large or not very mansion can become a kind of calling card owner and tell a lot about his tastes.
Decided to build cottage with an attic, get ready for the fact that the project of the roof of the house will have to be developed very carefully and with the involvement of specialists. After all, warm and humid air that rises from the house forms condensate, and external natural influences (rain, snow, sun) can significantly affect the condition interior decoration rooms upstairs. In order to prevent this from happening, reliable steam, heat and waterproofing will be required. But despite some special requirements, the increase in living space is worth it. And the cost is cheaper than the construction of a two-story building with the same area.
So, the roof is ready, it remains to think over and implement its insulation, so that in the future the room would be cozy and comfortable. As you know, the heat loss is the greatest there. This is due to the fact that there is no natural thermal cushion that exists in structures with an ordinary ceiling.
Such a house roof project requires careful and careful selection of materials for insulation. Lots of options:
- Styrofoam – cheap material, easy to install, good thermal insulator, but flammable;
- fiberboard. Such material is best used if there is a bath under the attic. Fiberboard is an excellent heat and sound insulator, it is easy to work with it. However, its use in residential areas is not recommended;
- glass wool- Budget option. But laying it is somewhat problematic: a lot of dust hazardous to health, special protection will be required. But the advantage is undeniable - the thermal insulation qualities are excellent, it is resistant to ignition.
The choice of heaters on sale is great. Finding the right one won't be difficult.
Projects of two-story houses with a garage
Sample projects two-storey houses with garage in in large numbers, for every taste are offered by many construction companies. The owner of the land plot for construction can only choose the one he likes. Well, if the site is large, then you do not have to save space. But there are sites that are quite narrow, it seems that there is simply no way to build your dream house on it. But it's not. There are also projects for buildings with a garage in such areas.
Features for narrow areas:
- one wall is erected “deaf”, that is, without windows. This allows you to locate the building as close as possible to the boundary boundary of the site with neighbors;
- outbuildings are recommended to be placed along the longitudinal walls. Thus, bedrooms, living rooms, and other rooms that require bright lighting are located at the ends, their natural lighting is maximum;
- entrance - gable or from the end, which also saves space by building a porch or a small veranda;
- if the building faces a noisy highway, it can be fenced with green spaces, and a garage can be built at the front of the site. So it will not take up much space;
- about all additional engineering systems it is advisable to think in advance (well, lighting, etc.), even before construction begins, so that you do not have to lay out additional funds. After all, changes in an already approved project will require additional payment.
Well, what is a homestead without a garden? To make it beautiful, original, landscape designers are advised to divide it into zones with arches, trellises, green spaces. However, the zones should not be completely isolated from one another. Otherwise, the site will turn into many, albeit cozy, but cramped corners.
Projects of one-story houses with a garage
The main factor affecting the number of storeys in the construction of a house, most often, the size of the land. Projects of one-story houses with a garage are more in demand because of the ease of movement around the building, especially if there are small children or old people - you don’t need to climb the stairs every day, especially since the area of \u200b\u200bthe room does not always allow you to make them convenient for movement. And screw ones, which occupy a minimum area, are not easy to overcome even for an adult healthy person.
When building a mansion with a garage, the area of \u200b\u200bthe land is also saved. After all, a car house attached to the main building will take less space in the yard, which will create comfort in its use. In addition to the direct purpose, you can adapt it to a workshop or store unnecessary things in residential premises.
- You don't have to go outside during the rain to get into the car, because the entrance to it can be directly from the house;
- no need to worry about your car left on the street or in the parking lot;
- In winter, you do not have to warm up the engine for a long time to start it.
Is this home your dream home?
If the estimated area of houses is 150 sq. m or 100 sq. m, then they will be quite economical, despite the fact that the roof will require certain costs. In the room itself, it is possible, by designing several corridors, which will also be endowed with a certain functionality, to isolate each room.
The room upstairs will look more spacious if the angle of the roof is large. It depends on this, and in what capacity it will be used as a living space: a nursery, a bedroom, or summer version verandas. In any case, the presence of such a room will meet the needs of all family members.
Advantages of a building with a room under the roof:
- aesthetics, design affects the appearance of a mansion or cottage;
- a huge range of materials is used for construction (brick, log, timber and other building materials);
- the cost of roof insulation will be much higher than the insulation of the attic.
Each mansard mansard is unique. For their design, architects use bay windows, exclusive windows, balconies, columns. Interior design rooms can be no less original: non-standard furniture, designer interior delights, functional niches for various purposes, all this will make housing unique, characteristic only for the inhabitants of the house.
Even if you remake an ordinary roof into an attic, a foundation that is not designed for the construction of a second floor, it will not bear a heavy load. After all, relatively light building materials are used for the room upstairs: glass wool, fiberboard, foam plastic, drywall, and other light but reliable ones.
If you intend to live “in the attic” all year round, then you don’t need to save on the quality of building materials. Remember the proverb: a miser pays twice.
House 8 by 8 with an attic
An 8 by 8 house with an attic is an economy option compared to building a one-story or two-story house. This perfect option for price and quality. Beautiful projects such buildings can be found on many sites of construction companies that are engaged in the construction of mansions, cottages, country houses.
A small house with a room in the attic is appropriate for building both on suburban area, and for permanent housing, if the space does not allow the construction of a large mansion or cottage. Such houses are rational, have a number of advantages over one-story ones:
- the area will be almost the same;
- inside it will be warmer due to the fact that the attic is not heated in vain;
- construction, turnkey delivery is cheaper - less building materials will be needed, which means that cash costs will be reduced;
- the communication length is significantly reduced, the costs too;
- saving land on the site.
Have you decided to build a small mansion, are you deciding between a one-story with an attic and a two-story one? Choose the first option, but be prepared for some features:
- the optimal attic wall is from one meter to 1.2 m;
- so that it is not stuffy, the ventilation system must be properly designed, it is unlikely that it will be possible to do without specialists;
- although lucarnes make the house more attractive, they give much less light than windows;
- without problems, such houses are built initially, but if the roof of a one-story one is being redone, then you need to take into account the features and parameters of the floor ( roof structures, roofing pies, etc.).
When erecting all buildings 8 by 8 m, like any other buildings, climatic conditions, soils. In accordance with them, building materials are selected.
Projects of houses from a bar with an attic
Already only projects of houses made of timber with an attic look spectacular, original. And the finished buildings are simply amazing. In addition to being beautiful, they are also cozy and comfortable. It is not for nothing that our ancestors appreciated this building material many centuries ago, building their dwellings from logs.
IN Lately everyone builds housing from a bar more people- fashionable unusual design, stylish, creative look attracts. But the main thing is that it is profitable, and living in it is comfortable. Photos of house projects can be viewed here.
Each building is thought out in design, you will not find the same. And if the owner also fantasizes, then it can turn out just a fabulous house. Is it possible to resist the temptation to sit in a room with glass wall on a cold winter evening or on a warm summer evening, admire nature outside the window?
Houses made of timber have proven themselves as country buildings, and as a full-fledged housing for year-round use. Typical projects for such log cabins with an attic are designed for large one-story, two-story buildings, for compact 6x9, 8x8 meters of country houses.
Timber buildings are always unique. After all, the requirements that are fully met:
- originality;
- beauty:
- demand;
- inexpensive price;
- speed of work.
Buildings are built from high-tech materials, such as profiled timber. For its manufacture is used softwood. Beam from inside, as a rule, planed, flat, and its outer side can be semi-oval. The profile bar can be both for winter buildings and for country houses. It differs in thickness. Thickness up to 200 millimeters is a bar for capital buildings.
As you can see - almost useless, cold attic can turn into cozy room, where you can retire, receive guests over a cup of coffee, or arrange comfortable bedroom. Yes, and outside such a structure will greatly improve appearance mansion. The attic will make any house unique, original.
The most common construction mistakes:
- the insulation layer is laid taking into account the climatic zone;
- there should be no gaps in the insulation;
- it is not recommended to use a heater for horizontal surfaces;
- in places where insulation material adjoins the walls, its contour must be closed.
