After acquiring a building plot, we are faced with the question of the layout of the house. I would like it to be large and bright, with a separate kitchen, bathroom, bathroom and bedrooms. But the site is not always large enough to accommodate everything you want.
A house with an attic is an excellent solution not only for suburban construction, but also for urban construction.
Features of the
House 7x9 sq. m with an attic will be an excellent choice in this case. When planning a building, special attention should be paid to thermal insulation., because the attic is subject to temperature extremes. Roofing materials and rafter systems, insulation and waterproofing, wall and window materials - all this will require full attention. Do not miss any of these points and then the house will turn out to be really warm.
A characteristic feature of 7 by 9 houses with an attic is their area - up to 120 sq. m. It directly depends on the layout of the first floor and the attic roof system. The most popular roofs for attic floors are broken, multi-gable, hip and half-hip.
- The first is the most common option. It is also called a mansard roof. Its slopes have a large bend angle. Because of this, the size of the usable area in the attic increases almost to the size of the first floor.
- The second option is more suitable for polygonal buildings. Without the help of specialists, it is very difficult to plan and build such a model. But if everything works out, then both the exterior of the house and the interior layout will become very original.
- The latter option has many varieties. Their distinctive feature is that all four sides are covered with roofing material. The so-called pediment simply does not exist. This roof option is renowned for its resistance to precipitation and winds.
Of course, other types of roofs are also used for the attic floor, but in this case, its area is greatly reduced.
Projects
When choosing a project for a future home, you need to decide on three aspects:
- for permanent or temporary residence, it will be used;
- how many people he can accommodate;
- erection material.
The first item determines the level of insulation and comfort. If the house is needed only for rest and infrequent overnight stays, then it is insulated much less..
Capacity refers more to homes for permanent residence. A large family needs more rooms and living space. But also this point can be attributed to the reception of "seasonal" guests. Many people send their children to visit relatives at their dacha.
The third point may be the hardest. There are a lot of materials for building a house:
- wood;
- blocks;
- brick.
There are panel houses, frame houses, etc. Each of these items can be divided into several others, because technologies do not stand still.
Block houses and wooden log cabins are considered the most popular … Block units are valued for their speed of construction and thermal insulation characteristics. According to statistics, 33 percent of private houses are wooden. They are considered the most environmentally friendly and warm, do not require additional insulation.
A huge disadvantage of wood is its flammability, susceptibility to rot, mold and fungi.
The most popular 7x9 house designs with an attic have an area of 123.8 sq. m and 113.5 sq. m.
In the first case, the following will be located below:
- kitchen with an area of 13.8 sq. m;
- bathroom 4.6 sq. m;
- entrance hall 7.8 sq. m;
- utility room 5.2 sq. m;
- living room with stairs to the attic 20.1 sq. m;
- bedroom 9.1 sq. m.
The attic of such a project involves:
- corridor 11.1 sq. m;
- bathroom 6.0 sq. m;
- bedroom 14.6 sq. m and two of 13.1 sq. m.
The second project differs in the size of the rooms, as well as the decrease in living space. Consider it:
- kitchen 12.5 sq. m;
- bathroom 4.2 sq. m;
- entrance hall 6.8 sq. m;
- utility room 5.2 sq. m;
- common room with a staircase of 27.5 sq. m.
In the attic of this project are located:
- corridor 9.7 sq. m;
- bathroom 6.0 sq. m;
- one bedroom 12.8 sq. m and two 12.0 sq. m.
As you can see from these two examples, the layout of such houses is generally similar, but if you wish, you can add something of your own.
Beautiful examples
Frame house 7x9 with a terrace. The external and internal cladding of such a project is carried out under a tree. Terrace 3x9 is located in front of the front door.
This is followed by a vestibule with a size of 2x2, from which one door leads directly to a room with a staircase measuring 2x4.5, and the other to the right, into a room of 2.9x2 sq. m. There are three doors leading from the room with a staircase. One - in the room 3.5x6.6. Two - in rooms 2.9x6 and 2.9x2.8, respectively.
The attic of this project has three rooms. Corridor 2x5, where a staircase leads from the first floor and two rooms on either side of it measuring 3.5x5 and 2.9x5.
The tiled (including the terrace) project looks very nice. This home can be a great place to live and relax.
Of course, there are a lot of options. You can order a turnkey building or, together with an architect, develop your own version based on what you like.
One example of building such a house with an attic is shown in the video below.
