The project of the house from a bar 6х8 with a mansard or

Homestead mansard is France. By the 17th century, there was an acute shortage of housing in Paris.

Therefore, the Parisian architect F. Mansard figured out how to use the empty attics of houses. He proposed to equip them with additional living rooms.

At the moment projects of houses from a bar 8х8 with a mansard and other small buildings are especially popular.

What is a loft

According to SNiP No. 2.08.01-89, the attic is the floor in the attic. Its facade is partially or fully formed by the plane of the roof. The line on which the intersection of the facade and the roof occurs must extend from the floor level of the room at a height of no more than 150 cm.

Attic roofs can have different shapes: inclined, triangular, broken, symmetrical or asymmetrical. At the same time, they can be located both across the entire width of the house, and on one side of it.

To give the roof a broken configuration, its bottom is given a strong slope of 60/70 °, the upper part is a gentle slope of 15/30 °.

The advantages of attic floors

1. The effective area of ​​the building can be almost doubled.
2. Additional costs for the construction of walls and foundations are absent.
3. Having built a small country house from a 6x8 lumber with an attic, you will pay a lower property tax, because, by law, this space is not considered a second floor.
4. In such a room, you can create an original and cozy interior.
5. During the daytime, the rooms of the building will receive more sunlight.

Note! The price of an attic block house is 20/30% cheaper than a building with a full second floor. Due to this, you will significantly save the construction budget.

2. For creative people, it will be an excellent place to create art, sculpture, carpentry, etc. workshop, library or office accommodation.
3. Practical homeowners, in most cases, use the attic, as a child, guest or sleeping rooms.

With all the advantages, such floors have their drawbacks.

1. You cannot put high furniture along their walls.

1. The layout of the house from a bar 8x10 with an attic and other sizes is such that, in fact, this space is part of the roofing system. Therefore, it has a high level of heat transfer. On this basis, there is a strict instruction: you either have to carefully insulate the attic, or spend a lot of money on its heating.

What to choose: order a project, create one yourself or prefer a typical solution

If you have the necessary knowledge, you can make a project of the house with your own hands. However, this is not always the case (see also the article Country houses from planed timber).

Ordering documents individually is a long, troublesome and rather expensive business. Proceeding from this, the optimal solution is to choose a ready-made standard project of a house from a bar 8x8 with an attic or other sizes that suit you.

Doing this will give you several advantages.

1. Get all the documentation either for free or at a significantly lower cost compared to the original project.
2. Construction time will be significantly reduced, because planning time at home will not be wasted.
3. The process of preparing standard projects has already been worked out, they have thought out everything, down to the smallest detail.
4. You do not have to pay money for hiring an architect.
5. Already finished documentation is optimized in terms of quality / cost of housing.
6. Based on the variety of architectural solutions, you can choose exactly the cobbled house that has an attic that is ideal for you and your family.
7. If you are not satisfied with something, you can make necessary adjustments to the drawings.

It is worth noting that of the small buildings, the most popular now are houses that have dimensions of 6? 6 m, 6? 8, 6? 9, 8? 8 and 8? 9. If necessary, the construction of a large building, choose projects of houses from a bar 8x10 with an attic, 9? 10 or 10? 10.

The most popular model projects of cobbled houses with attic

At present, three configurations of the attic floor are most common. Consider them sequentially - from the room with the smallest volume to the analogue with the largest area.

Attic with a triangular roof

1. As a rule, the slope angle of the roof in this case is from 45 ° and more.
2. If the block-like log house has dimensions of 6 × 6 m, the width (useful) of the attic is only 3 m. For comparison, this parameter on the first floor is 6 m.
3. Only in this space can you move without bending.
4. In the niches (right and left) you can put only low cabinets or dressers or hang shelves.

Note! Choosing a project with such an attic, please note that its useful area will be minimal. Based on the above example, it will be only 9m ?.

Therefore, in this form of roofing it is better to choose a house from a bar 8x8 with a loft or even larger.

Analogue with a sloping roof

This species is very common in all CIS countries.

Such roofs began to be built at the time of the USSR in order to circumvent the ban on the construction of two-storey houses on the garden and suburban areas.

1. The optimal angles of sloping sloping sloping roofs are from 30 ° to 60.
2. If the width of the beams will be equal to 6 meters, then you will get an attic width of 4 m and a height of 2.2 / 2.5 m.
3. The useful area of ​​the room will be 10 m ?.

If you are not satisfied with this size of the room, then choose a project of a house from a bar 8x9 with an attic. It will expand the additional area.

Attic floor with raised walls

1. The height of the ridge in this case is similar to a triangular attic.
2. The roof has a slight incline of 26.6 °.
3. All loft space to move is convenient. You can sit and stand by the walls.
4. It should be noted that the cost of a cobbled building with this type of attic is 20% more expensive than the first two types.
5. However, you will get the most useful attic space. If you raise the walls by 80 cm, then it will be 11.4 m ?, the height of the walls of 150 cm will increase the floor space to 13.5 m?

If you prefer with this type of roof projects of houses from a bar 10x8 with an attic, you will end up with a lot of additional space.

Attic design and interior

The appearance of the attic is largely dependent on the functions assigned to them. Indoors you can equip a bedroom, office, nursery, library, dressing room or bathroom, etc. The second most important factor is the angle of the roof slope, as well as the height of the walls.

With a very low ceiling in the attic it is possible to place only a bed or a sofa. Because of the sloping walls, it is impossible to put wardrobes, wardrobes and other furniture of standard height in it. Usually it is replaced by dressers and bedside tables.

Recommended mansard design.

1. When choosing projects of houses from 8x9 lumber with an attic or even smaller sizes, please note that white color should prevail in the decoration of their walls and ceiling. It will visually enlarge the room. Very light colors of other colors are allowed. Furniture choose on the same principle. The floor and the joists of the beam can be distinguished, i.e. give them dark contrasting shades. Lighting devices placed in the spaces between the windows, their light will visually expand the room.
2. In the attic, which has a large size, you can apply cream tones of saturated shades. The room will visually decrease, but it will become more comfortable and “warm”. To the ceiling is not "crushed", use wall-mounted lamps. In such an interior, upholstered furniture looks best, as well as carpets and carpets.

Conclusion

Attic in the cobbled house will allow you to increase the useful amount of space you need. At the same time, the total cost of the building will be much less than the buildings with a full second floor (read also the article Projects of houses from a 7x8 bar with a mansard: the optimal solution for a country village).
