House with an attic of 6x8: beautiful ideas of projects

Country house of 6x8 m2 is a great alternative to a three- or four-room city apartment. Living conditions outside the city limits suggest maximum comfort and convenience, while living space is evenly distributed on both floors of the building.

Houses of this type are most often chosen by representatives of the so-called middle class; those who can afford a small and cozy house within the reach of a car for recreation or permanent residence. Attic gives the house an additional comfort and original appearance, moreover, it will allow much more rational use of the space under the roof.

Like any building, such a house has a number of features, among which it is possible to single out the advantages characteristic of the type of country house described. On the one hand, each house is unique in its own way and the question of choice appears to be entirely individual. In the same time should be selected based on validated data and clear criteria. First things first:

• Rationality. A small basement area (48 squares) should be regarded more as an advantage. The cost of utilities for a house with such an area will be significantly lower than in a large cottage, which is especially important in the conditions of permanent residence. A house measuring 6x8 m2 will allow you to experience economic benefits in the first year of your stay. In addition, a small cottage is much faster and easier to clean and implement redevelopment.
• Compactness. Not everyone can afford a large plot of land, provided that the terrain features can exclude the possibility of building a large house even on a plot of impressive size. The house that we are considering in this article can easily be placed on the standard six hundred square meters,at the same time there will be a place for a recreation area and a multifunctional garden.

• Functional accessibility of residential and business areas. If you only need a few seconds to get from the bedroom to the kitchen or in a couple of minutes walk from the garage to the attic, then the size of your country house is really optimal and will allow you not to get lost in the four walls.
• Actually, the attic. After all, we have not just an attic, intended for storing unnecessary and not basically throwing out rubbish, but a full-fledged living space under the roof.
• Acceptable price. This item is highlighted at the end as decisive when choosing from several options for the size of the house. 6x8 m2 - a great combination of comfort and relatively low price.

There are not so many basic types of materials for the construction of a country house of a small size: a wooden bar, a log, a brick. Very popular in our time at home from foam concrete blocks and aerated concrete.Consider all of these options in more detail, given first of all the features of operation and the cost of owning a house of each type.

A very popular type of material used in the construction of small country houses. With a sufficiently high level of environmental friendliness, the timber allows you to do without additional methods of heat preservation, and also will last for a long time and keep an attractive appearance.

It is not necessary to write down the house from logs in the category of fabulous teremks, which is somewhere in the popular folk village or ancient Russian posad. The main indicators of this type of house are as follows:

• high strength and durability, allowing the construction to be operated by more than one generation and to inherit a house;
• high environmental friendliness and safety of materials used in the construction: a log is the same wood, only sawed and hewn.

This type of panel construction is characterized by speed and ease of assembly, relatively inexpensive cost and the presence of a wide variety of versions presented on the modern market. Such a house is not built, but assembled from prefabricated parts produced at the factory. The main work and, accordingly, the costs associated with interior trim frame house.

Foam blocks as a building material are becoming more and more popular every year. There are several reasons for this:

• perfectly keep heat and possess sound-proof properties;
• they have a low specific weight, as a result of which there is no need to build a large foundation;
• You can make any shape that suits you best: they are easy to cut and grind;
• have a low price;
• unpretentious in the treatment and care.

The project of a country house or cottage is a very difficult engineering solution, coupled with a number of difficulties. You can make a plan of work and calculate all costs yourself, especially if you have a lot of time and you are doing this for the first time, and you can act prudently and entrust such work to professionals with good recommendations and extensive experience. This will not only save time, but also save precious nerve cells. A professional will do better than you anyway. In extreme cases, you can provide him with drawings of his own performance.

It should not be forgotten that in the future house it’s still for you and your family to live, so the key decisions should be made independently. However, do not forget that House is a collective concept, therefore the opinion of all family members, including pets, must be taken into account.

Separately about the attic.This European invention, which has a number of advantages, has been very popular on the Russian market for several years. Attic allows you to efficiently use the space under the roof, opening up additional opportunities for creating residential and business areas on the first floor of the house. In addition, the location of the walls and windows at an angle relative to the floor contributes to the penetration of more daylight into the attic room, and this, you see, is important.

A house with an attic can also be well equipped with a summer or warmed veranda, which will serve as a country-style living room. From an aesthetic point of view, the presence of a veranda will give your house additional attractiveness, and the presence of a warmed veranda will solve the problem of the lack of living rooms.

All the above and much more can be seen in the presented examples of projects.

We offer to your attention a few of the most characteristic options for homes with an attic size of 6x8 m2:

• A great example of a cozy frame house, made in the European style. The special color scheme deserves special attention: a combination of light, almost white,and brown tones creates a peaceful mood and gives a feeling of lightness, airiness of the whole structure. A small neat porch seems the logical conclusion to the whole structure.

• The corner porch and warmed veranda meet everyone who comes into this cozy house made of wooden beams. For aesthetic reasons, the foundation is faced with imitation bricks, which harmoniously blend in color with a tiled roof. The layout of the rooms inside the house is classic, and the attic is divided into two bedrooms.
• In this example, the location of the windows in the attic is interesting: a canopy in the form of a small gable roof above the window has not only an aesthetic, but also a practical function. Again, it should be noted a good combination of color tiles and "artificial" brick.

• What prevents to make in the attic not only windows, but also a full-fledged balcony with a gable roof? This project is interesting not only for the original solution with respect to the attic, but also for the general design: the building gives the impression of comfort and stability at the same time. Instead of a veranda, the author of the project preferred a wide, comfortable porch, which can be glazed if desired.
• And this is a non-standard approach to solving the task: a country house of 6x8 m2 in size with original design features of the roof and a spacious summer terrace, which can serve as a living room. In this example, you can see a great combination of colors and practical completeness of all elements of the design.
