If you decide to build a house in which there will beTo live under a roof, then you need a house with an attic. Before you take up its construction, you have to think about what will be the layout of the house with an attic.
Advantages and disadvantages
Such buildings have their advantages, but alsoThere are drawbacks. The layout of the house with an attic implies a more budgetary project by saving money for building materials. The attic is cheaper due to the uselessness of the wall material (brick or blocks) and exterior decoration. There are, of course, some disadvantages of such houses: these are beveled ceilings, and the difficulty in arranging furniture, and the higher cost of windows, but all these shortcomings are fully compensated by the merits of the attic. It can be attractive by its geometry of walls, the originality of window openings, the presence of decorative beams and ceilings, various niches. All this makes this room unique, gives a large number of interesting solutions in the interior, which will make this room not less comfortable for living.
Features of the layout
The layout of the house with the attic has its own characteristics in the design, distinguishing it from the layout of the house with one level and making
its almost two-story. When designing a house with an attic, one should take into account the rational arrangement of the door and window openings, the shape of the piers, the location of the communications. In the attic floor you can make a layout for open studios or for ordinary living rooms, it all depends on the customers of the project at home. When designing the roof, remember that if the angle of installation of the rafters is 45 degrees, then about 1.5 meters of living space is lost. Mansard room visually becomes more spacious with a large angle of the roof. The layout of the house with an attic implies the design of several complex elements. These include, first of all, a ladder unit. Since the attic is most often used as a dormitory, the load on the staircase will be small, which makes it possible to save the area of the first floor and install a ladder of small width with a small area between the marches or
a spiral staircase. The layout of a 10x10 house with an attic is essentially dependent on the placement of lightways, because the dimensions assume the presence of several rooms, which gives some complexity in conducting illumination through the gables. In the layout of houses of this size, the partitions are supported by bearing walls, so the location of the lower floors depends directly on the attic itself. The same applies to the situation, if the layout of a 9x9 house with an attic is done.
Effective area
Useful area of the attic roomis determined by the selected roof type. It depends on this and what will be the attic: broken or triangular, symmetrical or one-sided, will it protrude beyond the outer walls of the house. If it is assumed that the attic will protrude beyond the outer walls, it becomes necessary to erect additional walls for a support or columns.
