The presence of an attached garage provides the house with an even higher level of comfort. A well-designed extension harmoniously fits into a holistic architectural composition. Usually, the entrance to the garage is located next to the main entrance to the house. Often in garages, an exit from the back of the house is provided. In many projects, you will see the internal communication of the garage extension with the residential part of the house. However, some developers do not want to have a garage connected to the house by an internal entrance. For them, we have projects with attached but fully insulated garages.
The project of a small house with a garage and an attic is often an important step for the owners of their plots. Many want to have a well-appointed and comfortable home, located outside the city, away from its hustle and bustle, but close enough. However, before starting construction, you will need to choose the right project for a small house with an attic and a garage; it is most in demand for a family with an average income. The article will tell you how to create a project for your site.
Design features of such buildings
A house with a garage and a small attic is a fairly convenient modern project. It houses a garage on the first floor, and a living area on the second.
This option is perfect for a country house or a small country house, where you do not need to have a lot of free space above the living space. In addition, it is possible to complete a house project with a garage and a 10x10 attic on one floor, where the balcony will be used as a non-residential premises, for example, as an attic.
The advantages of this design:
- Savings on utility bills. The heating system is arranged throughout the building, and this will significantly reduce heat loss. There is no need to lay extra pipes for plumbing and sewerage - there is no special need for arranging a sink in the garage.
- Safety. The garage built into a small house is very convenient: it can be accessed directly from the living quarters. The place where the car is stored will have maximum protection against intrusion to the transport.
- Space saving. The project of a house with an attic and a 10x10 garage, one-story or two-story, is popular due to the small area occupied on the site. Such an architectural solution will appeal to owners of yards up to 6 acres who want to build a house with a terrace, a bathhouse, and maybe even a pool. At the same time, the use of living space becomes much less. The garage is easily combined with a boiler room or an additional underground parking is arranged.
- In case of temporary absence of own transport, it makes sense to consider a 10x10 house project with an attic and a garage, and use the garage room as a home workshop, which increases convenience if there is light and water here.
- Save money on roofing and foundations(cm. ).
However, such a compact structure also has disadvantages:
- Very low level of noise penetration into the living space. Often, all the noise from repair work in the garage will be heard in the living rooms.
- Not too good security of the cottages. The garage usually stores a lot of different flammable substances.
Tip: For safety reasons, it is impossible to combine a wooden house with a utility room where antifreeze, gasoline and other fuels and lubricants will be located.
When drawing up a project for any residential building, it is necessary to take into account:
- How many people will live in it permanently.
- Features of its future owners. For example:
- it will be difficult for an elderly person to climb the stairs many times a day;
- children will like the presence of a large room, even if it is in the attic.
In addition, it is immediately necessary to determine what the approximate price of the entire structure will be, which depends on the project and the choice of materials for construction:
- Frame houses are less expensive. Their construction can be done with your own hands with the invitation of a small number of assistants.
- Houses and cottages made of concrete blocks or bricks will be more expensive, but their reliability is much higher - they will serve many generations of heirs.
- Projects of wooden buildings with a garage and an attic are in great demand, which are environmentally friendly, and in terms of their reliability are no worse than other options.
For any used project of a residential building with an attic and a garage, it must provide for:
- Rooms for daytime use. It is best when they are spacious enough and located on the lower floor. These are rooms such as:
- living room;
- kitchen;
- combined bathroom;
- utility rooms of various kinds;
- cabinet.
- For the attic, most often, only bedrooms remain. Its territory is usually smaller than the area of the first floor.
An approximate plan of the house can be seen in the photo.
- Often, when planning a house, it is planned to place a terrace, dressing rooms, mini-saunas. For this, a house with an area of \u200b\u200b120 square meters will be quite enough, and a family of 5 people can comfortably live in it.
- A correctly chosen fastening scheme, between the floor ceilings, will allow the entire attic space to be used without significant inconvenience.
Tip: If there is a sloping ceiling on the attic floor, when it starts from the floor, at a level of 1.5 meters, you should mount a built-in closet or put a bed close to the wall, which will save space.
- The project should clearly plan the placement of a convenient staircase to the attic floor.
- Calculations of the load on the floor for the second floor were made.
- Thermal insulation device for walls and ceilings. This solution will save on roofing work. If the thermal insulation is carried out in a continuous layer on the entire ceiling, then the ceiling can not be insulated too much.
How to build a house with a garage and an attic
For example, we consider the construction and planning of a house with a garage and a residential attic with our own hands from foam blocks.
Typical construction technology includes the following works:
- Foundation device: construction of a basement or basement.
- Walling.
- Arrangement of the attic.
- Roof construction.
- Performing finishing work.
For a relatively light structure made of foam concrete, a strip foundation can be arranged.
For this:
- The site is planned and marked.
- A trench is dug in size equal to the dimensions of the blocks.
- Formwork is being built to fill the base.
- A pillow is laid from sand and gravel with a layer of 20-30 centimeters, which depends on the depth of freezing of the earth and the size of the foundation.
- A waterproofing layer is laid.
- Before pouring the foundation, reinforcement is prepared to give the structure greater rigidity.
- At the corners of the building, a strapping is made, and then the wire around the entire perimeter of the building is welded together.
- The finished frame is poured with a solution.
- The mixture remains to solidify for about 10 days, which depends on the season and the climate of a particular region.
Walls can be built from blocks of aerated concrete, foam concrete, concrete blocks, a wooden frame can be used, but in this case fire safety increases.
Wall installation instructions:
- The base or the junction of the foundation and walls is waterproofed.
- The first layer is constructed from rounded timber.
Tip: This technology should be used when building stone houses or small brick buildings with a balcony or veranda.
- Racks and other elements are mounted on top of the timber for structural rigidity. They are located strictly to the foundation at a right angle.
- Additional elements are installed for strength.
- Concrete blocks are being placed.
- Wall decoration in progress. Facades can be covered with clinker tiles, which have excellent resistance to external aggressive factors and are easy to clean.
When building a roof, you must:
- Develop drawings, taking into account the desired height of the ceiling of bedrooms or terraces and other features of the premises.
- The roof frame is constructed using a truss structure consisting of inclined beams that rest on the outer part of the wall and a load-bearing beam located in the center of the building.
- The lower rafter boards are laid, they will be the overlap between the roof and the first floor.
Tip: To increase the reliability of the structure on the wall, it is necessary to arrange an additional reinforcing belt.
- Coverage is done at your discretion.
- After the completion of all construction work, doors are installed.
Which project of a house with a garage and an attic to choose for your site, how to correctly complete all the construction steps will show the video.
The foundation can be replaced, if necessary, with a more rational and correct one (geodetic conditions of the site or its differences), and the layout of the house can be changed at the individual request of the customer. Any cottage or house in our catalog can be changed in accordance with your wishes. Projects of houses with an attic and a garage are not fully developed, the finished documentation includes an architectural section and a constructive one, but engineering systems are always designed separately - this is much more economical. We are ready to design engineering systems immediately upon purchase of a cottage project or after it has already been built.
Cottage projects are always developed by several specialists - an architect, designer and engineer. When developing, all the nuances of future construction are taken into account, for example, the remoteness of the garage from children's rooms and bedrooms, the boiler room is always located under non-residential premises, if a fireplace is made, then so that a company of people can competently and comfortably accommodate, etc. Depending on the possibility of connecting certain types of communications, ready-made projects of houses with an attic and a garage can be changed, for example, the boiler room can be moved so that the gas pipe does not go around half of the house, the kitchen or bathroom is moved so that the sewer pipe does not go under the entire foundation, the living room can be also moved or extended to be constantly illuminated by the sun, etc. All this happens when you really like the cottage, but it needs to be finalized taking into account the characteristics of your site. For this, a general plan of the site is being additionally developed, on which you will see the landing of the house, the cardinal points and you will understand where the water and gas will go from, where the sewerage will be, where additional buildings (if any). If you do not find a suitable house in our catalog, then we are always ready to design a house on an individual order and develop all the necessary documentation - the architectural section, structural and engineering systems.
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 of the usable area of the 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 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 of 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 owner of the estate the mobility necessary for modern man. Such housing is also characterized by the following important qualities:
- Insulation of the upper rooms from cold and wind with roof slopes, under which bedrooms and children's rooms are often arranged,
- Savings on the construction of additional walls and ceilings required in a full-fledged two-story house and a separate garage,
- Possibility of building a unified heating system for the residential area and a warm room for the car,
- The use of 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
An attic-type cottage with a garage complex is a rather complex structure that requires the mandatory participation of specialists at the design stage. The Domamo catalog contains ready-made works, the results of which can be seen in the drawings and photographs.
