Layout of a 2-storey house

A two-story house has its advantages and disadvantages before. Someone stops at this option, because a two-story house looks more solid and presentable than a one-story house; someone chooses it because of the lack of technical ability to build a one-story house of the same area. In any case, in order for the construction to be constructed to be convenient in operation, a careful preliminary layout of a two-story house is needed.

Only a competent distribution of premises and engineering communications will allow you to feel comfortable in a house with two floors.

You can build a two-story house from any modern building materials that are on the market today: from logs, from timber, from piece material - a brick house, foam blocks, gas blocks,. The choice is limited only by your financial capabilities and taste preferences. From the technological side, there are no restrictions.

Wooden houses

Traditional material for the construction of a country house. Wood in any of its manifestations remains a warm, reliable and environmentally friendly material. they are light in weight, which allows them to be placed on lightweight foundation options. Perfectly for these purposes, a shallowly buried tape, solid slab or pile foundation with strapping is suitable.
Wooden houses can be assembled from solid timber, glued, from logs. And with a small width of the walls to be very warm.

Wooden houses perfectly retain heat and heat up very quickly even after complete cooling, which is important for country houses that are used seasonally or only a few times during the winter.

The interior decoration of a wooden two-story house can be minimal, as the wood itself looks very natural and beautiful. This advantage attracts many homeowners, as fine repairs account for a significant part of the entire construction budget.

One of the main drawbacks of two-story houses made of timber and logs is the mandatory exposure of the assembled box. It must be left for a period of 3 months to a year, and only after that make window and door openings, install double-glazed windows and begin the next stage of work. This is necessary in order for houses made of timber or logs to finally settle and take their unchanging shape.

Houses made of piece material

Houses made of brick, foam blocks or similar material are reliable and durable if built strictly according to technology.

Such structures have an impressive weight, which means that a high-quality foundation needs to be prepared for them: saving at this stage of work will not work. Since a poorly made foundation will lead to the fact that a two-story house will walk, cracks will go along the walls and its further operation can be completely dangerous.

Houses made of foam blocks and other piece materials that require laying on a special mortar are more suitable for permanent residence, and not for country options.

Such a house retains the temperature well, but only if it is not cooled. Like any stone structure, such houses need to be heated for a very long time in order to achieve a comfortable temperature. The stone is able to absorb heat for a long time.
The advantage of two-story houses made of bricks and other piece materials can be called freedom in design.

Detailed house plan 6x8

A stone house can be of any shape, with various architectural delights: balconies, bay windows, rounded corners, arches and other elements. It is possible to repeat such things when building a house from a bar or log, but it is extremely difficult.

Houses on frame technologies

In a nutshell, it is simple, fast and inexpensive. Freedom in construction, as when working with bricks and blocks, and performance is similar to houses made of wood. The main advantages of such a two-story house will include:

Low cost of the entire structure;
Light weight, which will save on the foundation;
The speed of construction, building materials do not require exposure;
Simplicity and practicality in operation;
When using environmentally friendly materials, the house will not be inferior to a wooden one;
Virtually any size and shape of the structure.

The optimal dimensions of a two-story house

The optimal minimum building spot is a rectangle of 7x8 meters or a square of 8x8.

It is these dimensions that allow where the rooms will be rationally located, it will fit comfortably, and not the attic, and there will also be room not only for the kitchen, living room and master bedrooms upstairs, but there will also be a place for guests to stay.

With a smaller foundation, the building can also exist, but then the layout of a two-story house will be inconvenient and non-functional. The living room will turn into a walk-through room, most of the usable area will be eaten up by a staircase, and upstairs, provided that not a full-fledged floor, but an attic floor is being built, only one bedroom will fit.
This option can be considered as a country house for one person or a couple without children.
The upper bar for the size of a two-story house is limited only by common sense and specific needs. For a family of two with two or three children, a two-story house with a total area of 110-130 square meters will be enough. If we consider the total area of \u200b\u200bthe house with a garage, then we can talk about an increase. Houses over this area will be very expensive to operate and maintain, and most of the premises, as practice shows, will simply not be used.

Ground floor layout

Drawings of the first floor of a two-story house should contain all the necessary premises for life. Among the required:

Kitchen;
Living room;
Entrance hall, she is a hall;
Guest bathroom;
Boiler room;
Tambour.

If the area of \u200b\u200bthe first floor allows, then there may also be present:

Study;
Canteen;
The guest room.

gable;
gable broken line;
shed roof.

The first two options can be attributed to cheaper types in terms of cost, they are also easier to perform. In these cases, roof slopes will be used for the sides, and gables will be used for the ends. The latter should be lined with the same material as the first floor. The type of roof and roofing material must be determined at the stage when the project will be prepared.

You should also think in advance how you will equip and what you plan to place on the attic floor.

Is it worth it to make an attic floor in the house

If you still decide to start building such a house, but are still thinking about the need for an attic, then it’s better to decide for what purposes you are going to use it. For an accurate solution, it is worth considering in detail all the pros and cons of such a structure, but only from the point of view of its attic part.

pros

Significant savings. Building a two-story house with an attic is considered a more economical option when it comes to building a three-story house, even though there will be costs for building a roof.
Appearance. With the help of a complex gable roof with a break, as well as slopes at various angles, you can achieve an interesting appearance and attract attention.
Interior. Using the attic room, you can achieve the creation of an original unique interior. However, for this you need to properly beat his form. That is why, if you are a supporter of originality, then the attic is exactly what you need.

you can make just such an original attic in your house

Minuses

Unfortunately, the attic has its drawbacks:

It is necessary to more carefully approach the arrangement of not only ventilation, but also thermal insulation. In case of non-compliance with technologies, problems with freezing, as well as moisture condensation, can be identified.
Problem with natural light. In the event that daylight can enter through typical vertical windows that are installed in a structure called a "birdhouse", then it will not have a sufficient level of illumination. However, there are special windows that will help in solving this problem.
"Dead zone". The area of the attic part practically does not differ from the area of \u200b\u200bthe house, but its useful part is much smaller. This implies a space near an inclined wall, which cannot be approached closely. There is such an option as to order special furniture for this space, but then the “highlight” of the room may disappear.
In this space, you can not work, or place a children's room. This is due to the fact that a person living in a room with sloping walls will feel a constant threat and internal anxiety.

General characteristics of the house

The total area of the entire structure is 185.5 square meters. m. As a material for the walls, an aerated concrete block of 400 mm, or a brick is used. A monolithic slab is required for the foundation. The ceiling will be carried out using wooden beams. Metal tile or soft tile is used as a roofing material. Siding of various colors is used for exterior decoration.

Now we can conclude that this scheme and the layout of a two-story house with an attic and 3 bedrooms on the second floor is a building that is not suitable for every family in terms of its technical features. However, this is an economical option, because the attic will serve as an additional floor.

Layout of a two-story house with a garage and a veranda

The layout of the two-story house, which will be presented in this project, is completely new. It has a lot of features, including living rooms on the ground floor. Such a project is perfect for a large family that appreciates coziness and comfort.

So, you can get into the house through two entrances:

The first (main) one starts from a small porch and leads to the vestibule (3.1 sq.m.) then immediately to the hall (7.6 sq.m.), from which you can go to the rest of the living rooms.
The second entrance starts from a small porch, the area of which is 2.3 sq. m. From the porch you get into the veranda, which can be used as a winter garden.

Combining the kitchen and living room

One of the features of this layout is the combination of the kitchen-dining room with the living room. Thus, the total area of the premises is 61.2 square meters. m. Such an interior is often recommended by professional designers.

Advantages:

A real increase in space.
The boundaries of the room are visually expanding.
Communication will become more convenient.
Reception of guests will be more comfortable.
During cooking, the hostess will not be separated from other residents.

Disadvantages of this approach:

We'll have to do more general cleaning.
It is not excluded the spread of aromas from cooking, which are not always pleasant.

However, the biggest disadvantage is that the living room must be coordinated with the kitchen, that is, the design must be similar, but the zones must be clearly separated. The following methods can be used for this:

Use of the bar.
Placement of kitchen furniture so that the hood will be located in the center, which looks like an island.
Application of lighting.
Try to use different floor coverings, for example, tiles in the kitchen and laminate in the living room. It is then that a dividing line will turn out, which can even be drawn on the ceiling.
Unusual color schemes on the surface of the walls, which, by the way, can be duplicated on the floor.

Furniture try to choose the same and similar colors to show that it is still a single room. However, do not forget about simple accessories, they will help to focus on what you want.

Surrounding layout

You can exit the kitchen-living room into the hall, and not through ordinary doors, but through arches. You can decorate them beautifully and elegantly, or, conversely, brightly and catchy. It is recommended to insert a multi-colored backlight into them. Also from the hall you can go to the bathroom (3.7 sq. m.) and the garage (22.7 sq. m.). From the street you can get into the boiler room (7.4 sq. m).

Most often, there are utility rooms on the ground floor, but this scheme broke all standards and includes the location of the guest bedroom on the first floor. Its size is 14.4 square meters. m. It is recommended to take this bedroom for small children or for elderly family members who find it difficult to climb and descend the stairs.

Combined garage

And another "highlight" of the first floor is that. Usually its location depends on the size of the site, and because of what the territory can be useful to you. This layout includes the fact that the site will be completely devoted to the garden, so to save space there will be a garage combined with the house. It is worth noting that such a decision and construction work on this occasion will cost less than the construction of a detached garage.
