In recent years, many citizens have moved en masse outside the city limits and, due to various circumstances, choose houses made of timber with an attic for housing. Consider what their choice is based on, what are the advantages of such structures.
What are the advantages of a house made of timber with an attic?
Probably, many people know that wooden houses in Russia were built from time immemorial, and in distant settlements you can still find such buildings, although they are already well over a hundred years old. And today wooden houses are in high demand. There are several reasons. Let's start with the fact that wood is an environmentally friendly material. In a house built of wood, there will never be any allergies, high humidity or dry air.
Secondly, the tree is able to absorb excess moisture and release it when the air becomes too dry. In addition, aromatic resins inherent in each type of wood stand out, which is undoubtedly an additional advantage of wood. Thirdly, wood is a poor conductor of heat, so all the heat that is in the house is stored to the maximum extent. In the same way, the tree does not allow frosty air into the room.
Therefore, in summer, wooden houses made of timber with an attic are always distinguished by pleasant coolness, and on frosty days they are alive with warmth. In addition to all of the above, such buildings are cheaper than two-storey house. Of course, they lose in terms of area to two-story buildings, but given that the land has become unthinkably expensive, a one-story house with a residential attic space will make it possible to save the area of a suburban area where you can set up orchard or garden.
When building a two-story mansion, you will need to make a reinforced foundation; a house with an attic does not require this. Attention when choosing a project will require a form, which should be such that the attic space is as large as possible. To do this, you can take a half-hip or hip roof as a sample. In the attic, you can arrange rooms of various functionality - bedrooms, game rooms, greenhouse, library, office and much more. The main thing is to make high-quality, corresponding to the climatic conditions of your region and reliable vapor and waterproofing.
Log houses with an attic - choose a project
There are two ways to build a house with a residential attic space, which will be called an attic:
- construction from scratch;
- reconstruction of old housing - the construction of an attic in the attic.
With new construction, it is easier to use standard projects, which are now a huge number for every taste and budget. The layout of such houses is designed for an average family of 3-4 people. All rooms are small in size (but quite sufficient for a comfortable life for the whole family). As a rule, standard houses do not involve finishing the outer walls of the house, and given that the size of the beam section is insufficient for the Russian climate middle lane, not to mention Siberia or the Far East, then insulation of the outer walls will be required.
This can be done later using mineral wool and finishing facade material in the form of a block house, eurolining, vinyl or metal siding or other facade systems.
If the attic device is included in the project of the house, then you should pay attention to how and with what materials the insulation and steam and waterproofing of the roof and walls of the residential attic space will be made. Roofing material must be chosen based on the fact that even with high-quality insulation metal roof will transmit noise from rain or hail into the attic, and a roof made of natural tiles, given its large weight, will require a significant strengthening of the truss system. So maybe it's better to stop at soft roof, which will muffle the sound, and itself will be an additional insulating material.
Making an attic in a finished house is not difficult. Every homeowner can cope with this if he has the skills to handle construction tools. But here, too, you will first need to make a project, or at least a drawing of the future premises, take into account the climatic features of your region and choose the required thickness of the insulation layer.
What do we need to know about the construction of the attic?
If you decide to build an attic in your house, then first of all it is necessary to strengthen the foundation, because the materials from which this room will be built have a certain weight. Strengthening the foundation will protect it from the appearance of cracks and distortions. In addition to the foundation, it may be necessary to strengthen the floor beams and truss system log house 6x8 with attic.
Don't forget that everything wooden structures, both new and old, must be treated with an antiseptic and flame retardant against fire and decay. If the roof of the house is two- or four-pitched, the rooms in the attic will turn out to be small, so it makes sense to consider rebuilding the roof, making it half-hip. In this case, almost the entire area of the attic space will be involved, as a result of which you will receive almost the entire second floor.
V summer time it can be very hot in the attic, regardless of the type of roofing material. To prevent this from happening in your attic, during construction, you can lay a reflective foil film that will prevent the sun's heat from heating the attic. outer side it is sewn up with a board and finished with facade material from above, and from the inside it is insulated with mineral wool or expanded polystyrene.
But in the case when we build an attic from a bar, its outer walls will be much warmer. It is imperative to make a vapor barrier of the walls and ceiling of all residential premises in the attic, especially if they are heated, since heat, meeting with cold, is converted into condensate, which can wet the insulation, as a result of which it loses its insulating properties. A vapor barrier film will not allow moisture to penetrate into the insulation layer and keep it dry. It is also important to waterproof the roof.
Every living space needs natural light, and lofts are no exception. Therefore, it is necessary at the design stage to provide for window openings and the design of windows, since they should be located between rafter legs.
Building a house from a bar - general provisions
At the very beginning of construction, it is necessary to make high-quality waterproofing of the foundation by laying two layers of roofing material. As a roof insulation, it is better to use basalt-based mineral wool, it can be used to wrap the rafters with high quality so that cold bridges do not form in the future, which cannot be achieved when using polystyrene foam boards. Styrofoam boards can also be used for walls.
Also, do not forget about the arrangement of a ventilated space between roofing material and attic ceiling. In conclusion, we can say that the attic device is the most economical option to increase the living space of the house without investing significant financial amounts. It is only important to observe the technology of all construction processes, which will guarantee the durability and reliability of the building.
Dachas and cottages for summer holidays outside the city have always been built in a simplified format, with minimum consumption insulation materials or decorative trim, giving preference to a house with log or clapboard walls. The dream of an urban person has always been a project for a house made of logs with an attic and a high roof. Such a project of a house made of timber or logs has always successfully fit into the terrain on almost any terrain, but the project of a house with an attic looked especially bright surrounded by old pines or tall shrubs, as in the photo.
Which project of a house from a bar to choose
The realities of today are such that it is no longer economically profitable to buy or build an ugly or poorly thought out project, especially a country version of a house made of timber with an attic. A successful design and a competent house plan are the same active components of the price as a prestigious building location or a successful combination of forest, river and local infrastructure. Therefore, today, projects of houses made of timber with an attic are undergoing serious architectural study and design, especially in terms of interior layout and the most efficient use inner space premises.
The most popular can be safely called the three main types of a wooden house with an attic:
For your information! All three projects of a house with an attic are made of glued or profiled timber industrial way are delivered to the site and assembled within two weeks.
The project and layout of the house from a 6x6 m timber was made with a minimum number of additional architectural elements, it does not have portable verandas or bay windows that are difficult to build sloping roofs. If you have some experience in building any structure from a 150x100 mm timber, you can build a house project with an attic by 40-50% with your own hands, which will lead to a 30% reduction in the cost of construction.
Typical projects of country houses from a bar with an attic
It should be noted that a timber project of a house with an attic will cost much less than a building made of logs. If you do not go into the intricacies of the design and layout of the construction of such structures, it can be noted that it has a more modern and sophisticated style than log houses, often simply stylized antique, but not creating the impression of a capital structure.
There are several main arguments in favor of a house made of timber with an attic:
- The overall design, even the design of a house made of timber 8x9 m with an attic, will be much lighter and more stable, which makes it possible to build from timber practically on a site with a relief of any complexity. Most often, on difficult ground, a pile or type-setting brick foundation is used;
- Profiled or glued timber with deep impregnation with preservative materials resists rain and sun much better. In addition, the assembly of fitted beams on industrial woodworking equipment makes it possible to obtain a wall with minimal gaps and crevices, which reduces the consumption of jute and linen for their embedding;
- If you wish, you can order the whole house or its individual parts, a hall on the ground floor, an attic or an open veranda, made entirely with a particular kind of wood you like, for example, oak or larch.
Important! Almost always, when assembling a house from rounded logs, the bundle and cutting of grooves are done manually on site, which significantly reduces the productivity of work and the speed of erection of the building.
Typical projects for building a house from a bar 9x9 m with an attic
pictured big house with an attic, a bay window and a balcony on the second floor can be called classic in design, decoration and technical solutions used in its construction. The building is constructed from profiled or glued timber 150, so the frame is almost 3 times lighter than a brick or cinder block building.
This type of building made of timber is rarely installed on a pile foundation. For all its merits, pile foundation systems do not add attractiveness to the appearance of the house, therefore, most often the building is installed on a conventional strip foundation.
A house with a wall size of 9x9 m can be built from a beam 200x150 mm thick and up to 9 meters long. This allows you to reduce construction time and get a very strong and rigid house structure. According to the project, a covered terrace is being made on the ground floor of the house, the roof of which is connected to a balcony on the attic floor. This somewhat simplifies the design and evens out the load of the floor of the first floor.
The main part of the service auxiliary premises is located on the ground floor, it is a kitchen, a bathroom and a living room. Quite successful can be called the mutual arrangement of the kitchen with a bay window and the living room provided for in the house, which are interconnected by a small hall. This scheme allows you to use the second floor without passing through the most important premises first floor.
The main living quarters are concentrated in the attic. There is a master bedroom with access to a balcony and a second room that can be used as a guest or children's room. Such a project is suitable for organizing summer country holidays, but subject to additional wall insulation with interior decoration, a house with an attic can also serve as winter cottage, and even for permanent year-round living. TO distinctive features project can be attributed to the simplified design of the attic. In this project, the authors of the project did not use the four-pitched broken roofs typical of such buildings, but installed the usual two-pitched one, which simplifies and reduces the cost of the project estimate.
Project of a house with an attic and a corner arrangement of rooms. This variant of the layout of the premises and the design of the building was very liked by fans country houses from a beam.
The total area of the house is 126 m2, of which 56 m2 is in the attic. The entrance to the house is located in the central part of the building, which provides excellent protection from wind and sun. The architectural solution underlying the project can also be called classical in its design.
If you look closely at the layout of the premises and the location of the rooms, you will notice that 80% of the planning logic coincides with the previous version of the house with an attic. But in this project, the kitchen is removed from front door, added a bedroom and ancillary facilities. The second floor with an attic is completely reserved for sleeping quarters.
Such a project is very well suited for a small hotel or holiday home. Moreover, for outdoor recreation or near a pond, it is very important to maintain a positive impression of the environment and the surrounding nature among vacationers, and in this case, a house made of timber, with an emphasis on a large number of interior details from natural wood, would fit perfectly.
In such projects, the elements of the supporting frame of the roof, partitions and ceiling, as a rule, are not hidden behind the cladding, but are specially marked in the interior, emphasizing the naturalism of the building.
The project of a small country house from a bar 6x8 m with an attic
The price of construction of previous projects ranged on average from 700 thousand to 1400 thousand rubles. If you do not need such an expensive and costly option, you can stay at a simpler and more affordable house with an attic. Both projects are very similar in architectural solution, are built from a bar with a cross section of 150 mm and are designed for use by a small family or a company of 2-3 people. Due to the small size and simple construction of the roof of a very light structure, the construction of a building made of timber will cost about 300 thousand rubles, and houses made of timber 6x6 m with an attic will cost even less - about 250 thousand rubles.
The 8x6 m house has a rather spacious bedroom, under which the entire attic floor is allocated, on the ground floor there is a living room and a kitchen. This is the most simple and affordable option for a summer country holiday during the weekend or a short vacation. Most often, such projects are used to build small country cottages.
The above house project 6x6 m is well suited for country house. The frame is made of timber, which creates relatively comfortable conditions for a temporary stay in nature. The presence of a summer terrace and a kitchen, a sleeping room placed in the attic, can provide for the needs for relaxation, but only in the summer. Such a dacha, in the project, can be put on a pile foundation, which will save the building from a bar from moisture and cold.

When Customers come to us with bright, modern ideas future home, we light up doubly! After all, to work on a new stylish project it is always interesting and a challenge, how to implement all the bold ideas from a constructive point of view, what materials to use? Vladimir bought a plot with scenic views on the banks of the Oka! Such a view could not be ignored, so a dizzying terrace (51.1 m2) and a large balcony, focused on beauty, became an indispensable attribute of the future home! Vladimir wanted to relax in nature in a wooden house, and it was necessary to build a house in a short time and the ideal solution for such tasks was frame technology construction! If we are different, then in everything! The house was made even more spectacular by the vertical finish with an imitation of durable larch timber, painted in natural shades with an accentuated wood texture. Complement the modern look of the house - windows with lamination! It turned out to be an excellent country house, with zest and at the same time incredibly functional.
It all started with individual project, found by the Customer's family on a European site. It was with him that she came to our office for the first time. We made preliminary calculations for the project, conducted a tour of the existing construction site, shook hands and the work began to boil! The architect improved and adapted the project to the site and the Customer's family; the foreman "planted" the house on the site. Based on the fact of geological surveys, it was decided to put the house on bored piles. The frame has grown in a few weeks, then the roof, insulation, exterior finish! Per winter period a house grew on the lot. The customer invited a third-party technical supervisor who monitored the process regardless of our multi-stage control. The color scheme for painting the imitation of timber was chosen by our manager and here we have a bright and cozy dream country house of the Pushkov family!
Houses made of timber are good because they are cheaper, absolutely environmentally friendly, over time they do not crack, as, for example, in houses made of logs, they are quite functional. So, if you add to standard design attic, you can get additional living room, playroom or office. At the same time, the size of the house can be very different. But it is necessary to think over everything at the design stage.
Advantages of a 6x6 timber house with an attic
Houses made of timber with parameters 6x6 are an excellent solution for suburban area where the building area is usually limited. Such a house is compact, small-sized, but it can easily accommodate all the necessary premises for a comfortable summer holiday. With a one-story structure, the space under the roof can be equipped with an attic, which would act as a bedroom. But it starts with design. The simplest plan is below.
With a built-up area of 36 m 2 of living space, 40-46 m 2 is obtained. For walls and partitions, a profiled beam 100x150 mm is used, but 150x150 mm can also be taken. Flax jute fabric serves as a heater. The roof is gable or hipped. In this project, the attic room is designed for one bedroom, so the roof can be gable.
Result: neat small, environmentally friendly wooden house. But this project does not provide for a bathroom, utility rooms and can only be equipped with a single-flight staircase. But it has a very spacious bedroom - 24 m 2.
More complex project houses 6x6, with a bathroom, a hall and two bedrooms on the attic floor may look like this.
Such a house is more functional, but requires more serious engineering and technical developments: supplying water supply, sewerage, good ventilation system and warming. It is better to make the roof mansard, then the second floor will save more space and light. Cobbled houses of this type are well suited for summer cottages, where the family spends most of the summer time. They look simple, but at the same time elegant and modern.
Plans of houses from a bar 6x8 with an attic
Cobbled houses measuring 6x8 also have a completely different layout. Depending on the number of family members and the requirements for the future building, projects of houses from a bar with an attic can be quite ergonomic and simple, as in the project below.
To save space, it is recommended to combine all additional zones in one technical room. So in the bathroom you can install a boiler room. The locker room and dressing room are combined in the hall adjacent directly to the entrance. If both rooms are made small - 2.55 m, then there will be enough space for a small terrace.
On the ground floor there is a spacious kitchen, where you can equip a dining room and a living room. The attic is a large bedroom. The advantage of the house is a simple layout, the project itself is easily implemented within a few months. Both profiled and glued beams are used as the main material. The first is superior technical specifications. It is stronger, more durable and easier to work with.
The second type of project is a bit more complicated. Photo next.
Such a layout will be a good solution for a family with children or for those who are always happy to have guests. The bedroom on the ground floor can be easily converted into a guest room. And if one of the bedrooms in the attic is not useful, it can be converted into gym, billiard room, game room or office.
If you supply the house with all the necessary engineering and technical elements, it will be suitable for operation in all seasons. The configuration of windows, roofs and the location of the central entrance can be selected individually.
If desired, the attic floor is complemented by a spectacular balcony, which gives more space, light and clean air. In the warm season, such a balcony will become good place for secluded relaxation. On the ground floor there is a small terrace, where you can also enjoy your time.
Advantage: cobbled houses do not require special costs to the foundation. With dimensions of 6x8, columnar or screw types are suitable, which are quickly mounted, but fully withstand the load.
House with parameters 7x8 and an attic
Building 7x8 from timber will cost almost half as much as brick or stone. The project below provides for a small vestibule, a kitchen-dining room of sufficient size and a living room on the ground floor. The attic is represented by two bedrooms and a large hall.
For the construction, a profiled timber 100x150 mm is used for strapping and 140x90 mm for the construction of walls. Suitable for subfloor edged boards 25 mm, finishing - sheet pile boards 36 mm. The foundation is pile or screw. The roof can be made onduline. In total, at minimal cost, it turns out a very beautiful, durable country house. And the money saved will be useful for finishing work.
Models of houses with a central entrance look interesting, which can be decorated very interestingly at the final stage. The project of such a house is as follows.
An example of a 7x8 house made of profiled timber with attic floor and a balcony.
The project of a 9x9 cobbled house with an attic
Houses of this type are designed depending on their intended purpose. It can be spacious country cottage, a house for permanent residence or a beautiful summer cottage where you can relax with a big company. The purpose of the building will determine the number of rooms, their location, the availability of additional technical premises(boiler room, sauna, boiler room, bathroom, terrace, balconies, etc.).
The layout of the most unpretentious building.
The house has two spacious rooms on the ground floor and one on the attic floor. As well as a terrace and a balcony. This model does not provide for any additional premises, so it is often chosen for the construction of simple summer cottages, without a kitchen and any engineering systems.
Everything is built quite quickly (2-3 months) and at minimal cost. The result is a very attractive building with a living area of 77.4 m 2 .
A more expensive project with a kitchen, a utility room, bathrooms, an office and 4 rooms, which are arranged at the discretion of the owners, looks like this:
In the end, the log house will look something like this. The color scheme of the exterior finish can be chosen based on your own preferences.
The nuances of the construction of cobbled houses
At the planning stage of the future home, in parallel with the virtual placement of all rooms, the materials for the implementation of the project are also determined.
- What beam to use. Planed - the most cheap material but the quality is also low. Profiled - easy to use, creates a solid structure without cracks, does not dry out over time, is in the middle price position. Glued - expensive, but the most durable and not subject to deformation building material made of wood, usually coniferous.
- Foundation. For houses 6x6, 6x8 and 7x8, you can make a screw or columnar, but for sizes 9x9 it is better to put a tape
- Roof. It is best to use ondulin or roofing material. And to make a reliable layer of sound insulation, no matter what material the roof is made of, wind or rain without a sound-absorbing layer will interfere with a good rest.
- If the house will be used in the cold season, it is worth laying high-quality thermal insulation. Waterproofing is mandatory in any case, as wood is hygroscopic.
- When creating a project, it is necessary to take into account how many people and what ages will live in the house. Elderly people need a bedroom on the first floor.
