Today, people are trying their best to rationalize their free space. Projects of houses with an attic and a garage are clear proof of this.

The design of such cottages has a number of features that are worth familiarizing yourself with before starting construction.

Peculiarities

Houses equipped with an attic and a garage are more popular in our country. This is due to the advantages of such designs, which consist not only in financial side question, but also in the convenience of such buildings.

• Availability attic floor adds a few square meters to the living or common area of ​​the cottage. Even if this figure is small, it can completely change the house, allowing you to organize any missing room.
• The attic provides almost complete replacement second floor providing significant savings Money during construction and procurement of materials.
• The attic is a fashionable and stylish solution that completely transforms the overall appearance of the house. Not only functional but also aesthetic indicators are improved.
• The attic under the roof serves not only the role of a room. It also helps insulate the roof structure, because before entering the house, a draft must penetrate into attic room. If you insulate the attic well, organizing a living space here, you can completely get rid of drafts.
• Like a loft, an attached garage will cost significantly less than a detached equivalent.
• With help attached garage You can easily achieve significant space savings. This is especially true if the site cannot be called large.

Materials

One-story or two-story attic houses can be built using various materials. Popular not only classic options, but also modern analogues that are easy to use and also allow you to create a structure in the shortest possible time.

For example, you can order a ready-made standard cottage made from sandwich panels, and then simply assemble it in the likeness of a construction set when all the parts arrive. Although not everyone likes simple solutions. Some people prefer a more expensive method of construction from timber, which has many subtleties.

In order for construction to be fast and high-quality in any case, you must first understand the specifics of materials and the nuances that distinguish them from each other. Only by taking into account all factors will you be able to complete all the work correctly.

Tree

Wooden one-story houses have been known for a long time. This material has a number of positive characteristics, including the ability to provide optimal noise and heat insulation characteristics. Also, timber raw materials are environmentally friendly, therefore wood is perfect for building residential buildings.

On the other hand, wood is highly flammable, so the risk of a fire increases, which can destroy not only the entire living space, but also the garage with the car located there. Also, the raw materials themselves are expensive, so option timber house not suitable for those on limited finances. However, these shortcomings are compensated by the durability of the building. Average log houses, if built correctly, can last up to 50 years or more.

Brick

This option also cannot be called cheap, although brickwork is traditional. Like wood, brick perfectly insulates noise and prevents heat from escaping from the house. Brick walls are among the most stable, so you don’t have to worry that they won’t support the weight of the attic.

What is noteworthy is that in this case, the attic can be built after construction is completed, even if it was not in the project. Strengthening load-bearing walls will not be required, as a result of which the construction process will become significantly cheaper. It is impossible not to mention the solid, reliable design. Thanks to a material such as brick, a house with a garage will look like an impregnable fortress. Few people would want to try to rob such a structure, as a result of which the car would be relatively safe.

Gas and foam blocks

Structures built from aerated concrete or gas silicate blocks have all the same advantages as brick buildings.

However, blocks are much lighter than bricks, resulting in several specific nuances:

• Firstly, due to the lightness of the material, construction work can be carried out even alone.
• Secondly, the load on the foundation is greatly reduced.
• Thirdly, the ability of the walls to withstand the weight of the roof with an extension also drops significantly. Because of this, it is necessary to plan the attic at the design stage.

A garage made of gas silicate or foam blocks can be attached to the house later, without fear that the new building will not fit properly into the existing facade. However, it is important to make everything preparatory work, and also use the same type of foundation as the house (usually a lightweight pile or grillage option is chosen).

Frames and sandwich panels

Construction frame house It is easy to do, but it is important to take into account several important factors. When planning a veranda, it is important to include it in the project at the preparation stage. This will allow you to correctly calculate the load on the frame. Otherwise, it may not hold up, and the structure will simply collapse like a house of cards. There should not be any special problems with creating a garage.

As for sandwich or SIP panels, they are supplied as a set. The buyer only has to assemble the structure. Sandwich panels are manufactured according to an existing plan, taking into account all the rooms and premises provided for by the project, including the garage and attic.

It is not possible to plan them after making the house, so you need to take care of their availability in advance.

Roof

As a rule, in projects with an attic and a garage, a roof is provided that covers both the garage and the main building. Sometimes one of the attic rooms. In theory, any design is suitable for these purposes, but in practice it turns out that some roofs require too large a financial investment or cannot be installed in a windy climate zone due to their excessive height. There are several types of roofing that are ideal for creating an attic underneath.

These include:

• gable;
• hip;
• half-hip.

The last two options are hipped.

An attic under a gable roof will turn out to be small, narrow and uncomfortable, however, this option is the easiest to implement. It can even be designed on your own.

Attic structures for hipped roofs are full rooms.

When planning an attic and garage, it is best to use a complex roof structure, which allows you to organize an attic over almost the entire area of ​​the house.

Insulation

The biggest problem is caused by insulation. On the one hand, it is not necessary to insulate the garage in any special way. It has a wall adjacent to the house, so the temperature inside will always be higher than outside. It is much more important to take care of ventilation here.

It is much more difficult to insulate the attic. It is important to completely prevent the occurrence of drafts and the penetration of cold wind. It is also necessary to ensure that the waterproofing is at the proper level. The penetration of precipitation into the room will not at all contribute to a favorable microclimate.

Different materials are used to insulate attics. The choice of one option or another depends on the type of room located below, as well as on whether you plan to live in the attic permanently, or whether it will be used only as a temporary room.

Styrofoam

The material is light weight. It is sold in convenient slabs, due to which it can be transported and laid without problems. Polystyrene foam has excellent thermal insulation characteristics. With other advantages, it has low price, thanks to which you will be able to save significantly on insulation.

The disadvantage is that the material tends to crumble over time. It is also highly flammable, which is why it should not be used near fire hazardous objects (stoves, gas stoves, etc.).

Fiberboard

Fiberboards are optimal choice in cases where the attic is located on top bath room or saunas. Working with fiberboard does not pose any particular difficulties. Even a beginner can cope here. In addition, the material has excellent thermal insulation properties and almost completely hides extraneous noise. Fiberboard belongs to the category of economy class materials.

However, there is one drawback that negates all other advantages of the material. Over time, fiberboard begins to release toxins into the atmosphere that are harmful to humans and animals.. Therefore, it is impossible to use fiberboard insulation within residential premises.. They can only treat side rooms, for example, a bathroom or kitchen.

Glass wool

This cheap material also often used to insulate attics. Glass wool has more disadvantages than advantages. It is difficult to work with it, since glass dust that is hazardous to health is released into the air, the inhalation of which can damage the respiratory tract. The use of specialized protective equipment is required that protects not only the respiratory system, but also the skin.

The advantages of the material are a high degree of thermal insulation and combustion resistance.

Glass wool should not be used to insulate attics where people will live permanently.

Mineral wool

The modern equivalent of glass wool has all the same benefits without the disadvantages of the more traditional material.

In addition, this option has additional advantages:

• Resistance to the vital processes of microorganisms. They just don't show up here.
• Sustainability in high humidity with excellent vapor permeability. This means that mineral wool promotes the evaporation of condensation, which for a number of reasons can accumulate in the attic.
• Reduced thermal conductivity properties. The material prevents full heat circulation between the room and the street. In winter it keeps the house warm, and in summer it prevents hot air from the street from entering the room.
• Environmental friendliness. Unlike glass wool, mineral wool completely safe for humans.

As is clear from the above, there are many options for insulating attics, but there is still no single universal one. Before choosing, you need to decide what material qualities you are looking for, and then move on to selecting options.

Projects

Today there are many designs of houses with an attic and a garage of different sizes and with different contents. There are options with one and several floors, with a basement, a bathhouse or wine storage, and even with a terrace above the garage. Each option deserves separate consideration.

The project also depends on the total footage of the house. For example, cottages with an area of ​​120-150 sq. m is much easier to equip with an attic or garage. The attic will be large and roomy, and the garage can be attached to either side (from the facade or from the end). It is important to pay attention to the overall aesthetics of the building. The extension must not be allowed to greatly distort its proportions.

Below are several ideas for projects, each of which can help you finally decide what you want your house to look like with an attic and garage.

Little house

Attaching a garage to a small house with an area of ​​up to 100 m² needs to be done wisely. It is important to pay attention to general form cottage If the house is narrow and elongated, then it makes sense to continue it by placing the garage at the end. If you are the happy owner of a square building, then you have the opportunity to attach the garage the way you want.

To make a veranda, you will have to try. The maximum you can count on is small room with an area of ​​approximately 12 sq. m. However, it can be used as a full-fledged bedroom or children's room if finishing work is carried out properly.

Not only can being small cottage. Having a compact two-story structure, it is better to abandon the attached garage altogether. It is best to build a detached garage structure.

The attic can only be built as a utility room, for example, a closet.

Garage for 2 cars

Happy owners big houses of different sizes (8 by 10 sq. m, 15 by 15 sq. m, and so on), people often think about arranging a garage for two cars. Nowadays, many families are faced with the fact that both the wife and husband want to have their own car, so there is a need to equip a large garage. For such cases, design agencies specially develop suitable plans. You can see some of them in the images below.

Country houses are the personification of a quiet life alone with nature. Such buildings give the owner freedom to choose the layout, design and even building material. More often one-story buildings complemented by an attic, garage, open verandas. All kinds of extensions can be built together with the house during its construction or added to an already finished building. Many projects of one-story houses with an attic are developed according to standard layout, but there are also exclusive options.

What to consider when building housing with an attic

It is better to entrust the development of a building project to specialists. Lack of experience in this area will lead to many technical errors, which threatens the destruction of the building. However, you still need to know the basic rules. They will help you at least roughly sketch out a sketch of your future home, which will guide the specialists drawing up the project.

Every developer should know these basic points:

• If you have a ready-made one-story house, you cannot simply attach an attic to it. The building walls and foundation are not designed for additional load. To prevent cracks from spreading along them, the structural elements must be strengthened, and then the attic must be erected.
• When calculating the height of the attic room, it is necessary to take into account the distance between the ceiling and the floor. The optimal figure is 2.5 m. In addition to the height, it is important to calculate the usable area, depending on the roof structure. It is expressed as a percentage of the area of ​​the first floor. For example, regular gable roof adds 67% of usable space, and the broken line adds 90%. The area can be increased by 100% by raising the roof by 1.5 m.
• Correct calculation of the passage of communications and stairs connecting the first floor with the attic will help to achieve a minimum cost and ensure comfort in the room.

Finally, less important, but useful for ensuring comfort, you need to plan the location of the upper and lower floor partitions.

Attention! No one is safe from fire and other disasters. When designing a house with an attic, it is necessary to provide external staircase to a balcony or other structure that provides safe evacuation.

Examples of finished projects

As a visual aid, ready-made projects help guide the developer in choosing the size and layout of housing. On the Internet you can find photos of buildings with a garage, an attic and without them. In addition, many projects are developed for a specific construction material, for example, walls made of foam blocks, wood or brick. The most popular projects requested by country developers are small and medium-sized house projects.

Project and layout of a small house with an attic measuring 6x6

A small building with an attic measuring 6x6 is suitable for a garden house. The area of ​​two floors will be approximately 50 m2. For a family of 3-4 people this will be enough.

The advantage of such a structure is simple construction work, plus low utility bills in the future.

• Built-in furniture in the hallway will help unload the room, making it more spacious. Space savings are achieved by combining the kitchen with the living room, and a staircase is also installed here, connecting the lower floor with the attic.
• The bathroom is connected to the toilet. It is better to install a shower stall here. Under the stairs, the free space is given over to a storage room. It may only be 2 m2, but the useful space will be useful for storing things.

Advice! The construction of a terrace attached to the house will help expand the usable space.

An excellent housing project option is frame house measuring 6.44 x 6.44 m. The internal layout includes a dressing room and two bedrooms. Great advantage frame structure is the ability to carry out construction work yourself in a short time.

Advice! The layout of a frame house may include a bathhouse. This must be taken into account when considering such projects.

Layout project for an average house with an attic measuring 9x9

The average size of 9x9 m is considered the optimal choice in terms of costs, construction and living comfort. The traditional layout of the lower floor consists of a living room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. The rooms on the upper floors can be residential or working at the request of the owners. A family of 4 will live here comfortably.

By comparing the layouts of 9x9 and 8x10 houses from the photo, you can see their complete similarity. The only difference is the shape of the building, forming a square or rectangle.

In this video you can see an example of a project:

Examples of house projects with a garage and attic

Choosing a project small house with a garage, in addition to amenities, the developer gets big savings by combining the walls. The façade of the building, combined with the garage, is not in contact with the street, which reduces heat loss indoors. For relaxation there are two terraces near the house. The connection between the living space and the garage is via an internal entrance through the storage room. This is very convenient in bad weather conditions. To use the garage you do not need to go outside in the rain or snow.

Very interesting mirror project houses with a garage. This design is feasible when erecting a twin structure near a standing building. The highlight is the roof that extends over the garage and terrace. She is supported by 3 wooden racks from timber. All external finishing elements are made of wood.

The layout of the lower floor includes a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom. The top floor of the attic space is dedicated to bedrooms and a bathroom. The connection to the garage is via a folding staircase. This design saves little inner space.

Examples of projects of houses with an attic, built from foam blocks

Majority country houses involves the construction of brick walls. They are considered more reliable and beautiful. However, the price of such material does not always suit the developer. If wooden frame There is also no desire to build, the way out of the situation would be to erect a building made of foam blocks with an attic floor. The savings here are not limited to just the low cost of the material. For laying foam blocks, less mortar is needed, the thermal conductivity of the walls is reduced, good sound insulation. The blocks are so light that you can build walls yourself.

The most popular projects houses made of foam blocks with an attic are available in sizes 6x8, 8x8, and 8x10. One of the options for such a structure is shown in the photo. Here the façade of foam blocks is finished with decorative plaster.

However, foam blocks have their drawbacks, which create certain restrictions on the construction of an attic floor. The fact is that foam block walls can withstand less load than brick walls. This must be taken into account when drawing up the project. To build an attic on a house made of foam blocks, it is better to use lightweight building material. Do not forget that the facade will have to be covered, which will create certain costs.

If these shortcomings are not important for the developer, and one floor with an attic is enough, you can safely choose a construction project with foam blocks. One example of the layout can be seen in the photo.

In this layout option, the owner can demolish or move the partitions at his discretion.

Important! If the width of the building box is more than 12 m big square roof will create a significant load load-bearing structures, and strong pressure will push the walls out. This must be taken into account when making calculations. The width of the box may need to be made smaller.

An excellent house project with foam blocks is presented in the following photo. Its dimensions 10x10 accommodate 3 spacious bedrooms, a separate boiler room and necessarily 2 bathrooms. The attic is decorated with a beautiful balcony.

In this video you can see projects of houses made of foam blocks:

Project of a brick house with an attic

The construction of brick houses is considered a classic, but is still relevant today. Walls made of this material create a feeling of reliability, turning your home into a real fortress. Among the many options for brick buildings, the design of a Russian house looks elegant.

The total area of ​​the lower floor with attic space is 242.6 m2. For such brick buildings, the presence of a terrace is mandatory. The attic is decorated with a wide balcony. It is better to decorate brick walls with artificial stone. As additional elements the presence of a tree is desirable.

Projects of one-story houses without attic space

One-story houses are the most simple solution for suburban housing. And this does not mean that without an attic such a building will not look presentable. Depending on the size, housing can be built to suit any layout with different price categories. For example, for a dacha would be suitable economy option, and a large house is already business class.

The most popular subcategory is a one-story middle-class house. Its area is 40-50 m2, which is enough for a family of 3-4 people. An example of a 6-room project can be seen in the photo.

Many projects of one-story houses with an attic are able to satisfy the needs of the most demanding developers due to their wide variety.

Stylish and modern house, which has both a garage and an attic - this is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also very practical. This option is the most rational, because you can use the area of ​​the land plot as efficiently as possible. People practically don’t use the attic, however, if you improve it, you can get a full-fledged living space.

Advantages of having an attic

IN Lately houses with an attic are becoming increasingly popular in the construction of private buildings. Such a compact living area is designed to save space on the plot of land, which will allow you to create a cozy yard. Such cozy house can become a reflection of the home owner and express his individuality.

A one-story house with an attic is not the most profitable solution, since you will have to attract professionals to develop the project. The thing is that condensation can form in the attic floor, and this negatively affects the atmosphere at the top of the building. To avoid such problems, you will have to equip high-quality heat, hydro and vapor barriers, and this will entail the injection of additional funds. Despite this drawback, it is worth noting that this solution is worth it, since the full construction of the second floor will cost even more.

If the design of a house with an attic and a garage has already been chosen, then all that remains is to think about insulating the roof so that staying on the attic floor is as comfortable as possible. To insulate the attic, it is best to use polystyrene foam, which is very cheap and its installation will only take a few hours. The only drawback of the material is low fire safety, so you can use Alternative option– Fiberboard or glass wool. For residential buildings, it is best to use the latter option, since it is the most popular; you only need to take care of dust protection and you can insulate the attic.

Two-story buildings with a garage

Options finished projects two-story houses with a garage and an attic can be found on the Internet, their number is simply amazing. You can also contact any construction company, which can offer several ready-made options, all that remains is to choose optimal project and construction can begin. If you want to express your individuality, you can order the development of a project for yourself, but this option will cost much more.

If the plot of land is large, then no difficulties will arise; it is easy to build a large house with a garage and an attic here. It’s a completely different matter when the site limits free space, but there is a way out here too, because they are good construction companies are ready for this difficulty and will be able to offer an option that takes this factor into account.

Features of houses for small plots of land:

• One of the walls should be “blank” (there are no windows on this wall). It is on this side that the house is placed as close as possible to the neighboring plot, thereby freeing up some space in front of it.
• It is best to place a barn or other utility-type structures along the longitudinal walls of the building, and living rooms in the house will need to be placed at the ends.
• The entrance should be equipped from the end or front, and the garage should be built closer to the road so that exit is minimal and the garage itself does not take up much space.
• It is necessary to think through the design of the house and all buildings located on the site as efficiently as possible, so that later problems do not arise and you do not have to spend money on modifications that will be difficult to carry out.

For maximum comfort and coziness, it is recommended to equip private yard plantings, arches and trees. They must organize the space, divide it into zones. It is important that these zones are not isolated from each other, otherwise it will cause harm general design, will make the area cramped.

One-story houses with a garage

How many floors there will be in a house is most influenced by the size of the land plot. One-story houses are more in demand, since they are much more convenient to move around; this is especially true if there are elderly people or children at home. A two-story house requires a staircase; to save space, a spiral staircase is often used, and climbing it to the second floor is a real obstacle for pensioners. Therefore, if the land plot allows, then the construction of a large one-story house will be the ideal solution.

If a large one-story house is combined with a garage, this will make the most efficient use of the space on the land plot. The garage can be used both for storing a car and for seasonal items that can be hidden there.

Advantages of a garage combined with a house under one roof:

• There is no need to go outside to move from one building to another. This option is especially good in bad weather.
• Moral peace of mind, since the car is located nearby, and not on the street or parking lot.
• IN winter time It is not necessary to warm up the car for a long time, since the garage can be a fairly warm room and such an action will not be necessary.

If a one-story mansion has large dimensions, then it will work out economically profitable option, although you will have to spend money on a huge roof. Despite this, comfort inside the house will delight the residents of the house around the clock, because here you can equip functional corridors, while isolating each of the rooms or bedrooms.

Living rooms and bedrooms on the attic floor are an excellent solution for young people who prefer to wake up to the rays of the sun. Having arranged comfortable attic with special windows you can create a cozy living room with a special interior. Here you can create not only a bedroom for yourself or your children, but also equip an office for doing business or Gym for sports.

Advantages of living space in the attic:

• Aesthetic appeal, because this will affect the exterior of the house and its visual perception.
• A variety of building materials, the use of which does not limit the desires or ideas of the homeowner.
• Insulating the roof will cost much more, but in this way you can protect not only the attic floor, but the entire house as a whole.
• There is no need to create a heavy-duty foundation, since the attic does not create a large load on the foundation of the house.
• The uniqueness of the house, because each building with an attic and a garage has something special, exclusive and unique.

In the new real estate market, the leading position in the field of private design is occupied by projects of houses with an attic and a garage. This popularity is explained by the aesthetics and versatility of the structure, combined with the saving factor. However, such a building has features that should be familiarized with before construction begins.

House with an attic - photos clearly show various options- It is the most rational decision For small area, allowing you to increase living space without reducing land. The presence of personal transport becomes the reason for another popular technique - building a house with a garage.

With attic and garage for one car

Projects of cottages with a garage and attic have a number of advantages:

• by combining two functional areas, it is possible to reduce the costs associated with project development and construction work;
• the adjacent location of the living area and the garage creates a comfortable environment in the latter, which leads to a reduction in the costs associated with heating the garage;
• the creation of an internal passage allows you to move freely from the room to the garage without going outside, which is especially convenient during periods of bad weather;
• the creation of an attic space provides an increase in living space, which is especially important for one-story buildings;
• a compact multifunctional structure allows you to significantly save the free area of ​​the land plot;
• building an attic will cost much less than building a second floor;
• the attic floor allows you to additionally insulate the living space, eliminating drafts;
• an attached garage will cost much less than a detached unit;
• buildings have a stylish and presentable appearance, noticeably distinguishing them from other buildings.

Key points in designing a house with a garage and attic

Before you settle on a standard project or place an order for an individual construction option, you should decide on the key points. Along with the attractive exterior of the building, the following positions deserve attention:

• selection of the main material for the construction of the building;
• combination of the building with the surrounding landscape design;
• compliance of the outline of the structure with the size of the land plot;
• choice of building roof design;
• necessary insulation of the roof of the attic floor;
• interior layout.

It is recommended to entrust the development of a house plan with an attic and a garage to specialists, which should include architects, engineers, builders and designers. Thanks to this, it will be possible to eliminate inaccuracies in calculations and technical errors in the project.

The roof requires special attention, the design of which must be carefully thought out. Wet warm air, rising from the house, forms condensation, and natural external influences in the form of precipitation and the sun can worsen the condition of the interior decoration of the upper room. To prevent this from happening, you should properly organize heat, hydro and vapor barrier.

Choosing material for building a house with an attic and a garage: photo examples

To build a cottage with an attic floor and a garage, you can use brick, foam blocks, aerated concrete, wooden beams, and sandwich panels. Each option has undeniable advantages and disadvantages. The choice of material depends on climate zone terrain and soil characteristics.

Helpful advice! It is less expensive and labor-intensive to construct with an attic.

The classic material for building houses is brick, which has a low cost and is a good heat and sound insulator. A brick wall is one of the most stable structures that can support the weight of the attic. Load-bearing walls do not need to be strengthened, which allows you to save on building a house. This material creates a solid, reliable appearance of the structure.

Helpful advice! An attic space can be created after the construction of a brick house is completed, which was not previously provided for in the project.

Another traditional material for the construction of low buildings is wood. It, like brick, has high heat and sound insulation characteristics. In addition, it is an environmentally friendly product. House from wooden beam will have a presentable appearance. Besides, wooden building can last for more than 50 years.

However, wood tends to ignite quickly, which increases the risk of fire. This can cause the destruction of not only the living space, but also the car in the garage. In addition, the material has a fairly high cost, which is more acceptable for people who are not limited in finances.

Modern building material for the construction of houses with an attic

Today, aerated concrete or gas silicate blocks. They have the same performance characteristics, like brick, but the process of building a building is greatly simplified. The elements are characterized by their low weight, so construction work can be carried out alone. This also helps reduce the load on the foundation of the building. However, the material has worse bearing capacity, which should be taken into account at the design stage. A clear application of the material can be seen in the photo of projects of houses made of foam blocks with an attic and a garage.

Sandwich panels are supplied as a ready-made kit. Components of the structure are manufactured according to a pre-developed design attic house with a garage, taking into account the location of the rooms. SIP panels are assembled according to the drawing plan. It is not possible to plan an additional garage or attic after the panels are erected.

The construction of a frame house with a garage and an attic is easy, but it is important to correctly calculate the load on the frame. If this is not done, the structure will not hold up and will collapse like a house of cards. The use of this material will facilitate the process of interior finishing.

Compliance of the outline of the structure with the size of the land plot

When the need arises to create a large living space with a modest plot of land, many choose two-story buildings, various variations of which can be seen in the photo of 8 by 10 house projects with an attic and a garage. However, few people enjoy walking up and down stairs every day. This is especially true for older people and people with limited mobility. In this case, it is worth paying attention to projects of one-story houses with a garage and an attic.

If the site is narrow, it is better to give preference to a building with a blank wall, on which there are no windows and doors. This solution will allow the construction of a house with an attic in close proximity to the site boundary. Along the longitudinal walls you can place a building for household needs.

When choosing a room layout option, it is necessary to place the living room and bedrooms at the ends of the building, which will ensure maximum penetration of natural light into the room, including the attic. The entrance should be placed in the gable or end part. The placement of a garage with an attic - the photos clearly show this - is also chosen to be gable.

What kind of roof should be included in the design of a house with an attic and a garage: photo examples

Usually in standard projects For houses with a garage and an attic, a roof is provided that simultaneously covers the main building and an extension in the form of a garage. There are options in which one of the attic rooms is located above the garage. We can immediately assume that any type of roof is suitable for such buildings; this is clearly shown in the photo of projects of houses with a garage for 2 cars. As practice shows, some options are not economically justified because they require significant financial costs. In addition, some types of construction cannot be installed in a certain climate zone due to high altitude buildings.

In projects of a small house with an attic and a garage, the most suitable types of roofing are gable, hip and half-hip, as the photos clearly show. The easiest option to implement is gable design. However, due to such a roof, the attic space will be small, narrow and uncomfortable.

Hip and half-hip roofs are classified as hip roofs. Thanks to such broken structures, it is possible to use 90% of the area of ​​the attic space, while obtaining comfortable living rooms. However, to design such complex structures you will need the help of specialists. Such mansard roofs look very aesthetically pleasing and original, emphasizing the uniqueness of the structure.

Helpful advice! For convenient and comfortable operation of the attic floor, its height must be at least 2.5 m.

Projects of attic houses, in which the roof of the building and the garage are a single whole, are very popular. However, from a practical point of view, the most successful option would be where top part The garage will serve as the basis for creating an attic terrace.

Proper insulation of a small house with an attic and garage

Houses with an attic need organization proper insulation. It is not necessary to insulate the garage. It is important to organize good ventilation. The most difficult stage is insulating the attic floor. It is important here to prevent the occurrence of drafts and the penetration of cold gusts of wind. Waterproofing should also be done properly. The choice of insulation depends on the type of premises located under the attic, and on the length of time spent on the floor.

The most popular material is foam. It is supplied in slabs, making it easy to transport and install. The material is characterized by light weight, good thermal insulation properties, and low cost.
