When an attic is considered a floor. Is the attic second floor


  To place sanitary facilities on the lower level, you need to choose a place that will be comfortable for general use. The best option   considered a layout with a bathroom, located at the main entrance to the lobby. True, the owners of the bedroom of the lower floor will not be able to use them comfortably. Therefore, they should provide for their own spacious bathroom, located near the bedroom.

Bath with attic - features of self-erection and arrangement of the attic floor

  And especially effectively looks a bath from a log with a penthouse, from which a special comfort and security, and which reminds in some way an ancient nobleman's estate. By way of example, the projects of wooden bathhouses with an attic are much simpler than in a full-fledged two-story house, but in functionality and thoughtfulness they are in no way inferior. That is why photo baths with an attic today can be found in fashion magazines on landscape design much more often than solid bulky structures.

Projects of houses with an attic

  Under a simple gable roof it is not always possible to get a space that approximates to the area of ​​the first floor. The height of the rooms in which a person can walk at full height depends on the angle of the roof and on what the roof rests on - directly on the floor itself or on a load-bearing wall that rises above the floor of the attic floor to a certain height specified in the project. This vertical wall is called attic wall.

Mansard floor, attic - advantages and disadvantages

  Most often talk about a much lesser cost of one square meter of the useful area of ​​the attic floor. Usually, these expectations of big savings are greatly exaggerated. As noted in the two paragraphs above, this savings consists of the fact that for some of the walls of the attic floor, which are made in frame construction, roof rafters are used, and the roofing of the walls is external.

I own a land plot in the SNT. A house has been built to be registered as a property, in the declaration it is necessary to specify the area of ​​the house and number of storeys. The house is not intended for year-round living, hence it is designated as a non-residential premise. The second floor is the attic.

Orders Rosstat from 01.11.2008 № 274 and from 11.03.2009 № 37. It explicitly states that the area of ​​the attic is not taken into account when calculating the total area of ​​living quarters, both apartments and individual houses (cottages when they are registered as residential premises are accounted for exactly as individual dwelling houses). But, in this case, according to the order of the Federal State Statistics Service No. 136 of July 14, 2009, the total area of ​​individual houses includes the area of ​​heated and habitable attics. Consequently, the main criterion is the availability for year-round living, determined by the heating. If you register a garden (dacha) house that is not suitable for year-round living, the area of ​​the attic will be included in the total area of ​​the house with a coefficient of 1.0, since the whole house is not suitable for year-round living.

Erection of the second floor in a wooden house

If you are dealing with a broken roof, then the room in the end result will have a rectangular shape. The area of ​​the attic is always smaller than the area of ​​the first floor. Before choosing a particular project, it is necessary to consider all the positive and negative aspects of the options. The most commonly used criteria for such an assessment are: The size of the room.

The above information on the number of floors of the building, the structure is entered into the state cadastre of real estate when stating such buildings and facilities on the state cadastral registration on the basis of a technical plan prepared by the cadastre engineer. According to paragraph 42 of the Requirements for the preparation of the technical plan of the building, approved by the order of the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia from September 1, 2010.

Mansard house against a two-storey

  Such a cottage will delight with beauty and convenience all year round. The house with full two floors looks modern according to the city. Architectural techniques can save two-story houses from the stereotype of the "cube", which adds to this option an additional attraction. In addition to the aesthetic component of the house there are also practicality parameters, which also need to be given due attention, and only then be determined with a choice. Premises of the first floor constitute a day area, are spacious and include a kitchen, living room, office, dining room, bathroom and other utility rooms; The upper storey is a bedroom and is a night zone.

What to choose: a project of a private house with a penthouse or a two-story house project?

  Modern architectural techniques allow you to save a two-story house from the stereotype of a "cube" and make it no less attractive than a house with an attic, For example, a plan two-story house   with the garage assumes a more complex and interesting form of the house. In both cases, there are many variations.
Therefore, when choosing a structure of the tier, it is worth paying attention to the following details.
  spacious rooms on the ground floor, which include the functions of the day zone-living room, dining room, kitchen, office, bathroom and other auxiliary rooms; A compact upper storey in which the bedrooms are located.

What to build under the roof - an attic or a high-grade floor?

  On the other hand, a house with a full second floor has a more urban look. A two-story house does not have to look like a cube and be less attractive than a house with an attic. Solving the issue of the height and shape of the second tier, it is worth remembering that before us there is no dilemma - a manor or a "cube". In reality, there is much more choice. The layout, typical of a house with an attic, is a slightly enlarged first floor with large rooms of the day area: a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom, an office, and a utility room - and a smaller upper storey with bedrooms.

House Dacha own hands

  The appearance of the house is almost the most important factor, not only in terms of sales but also in your own well-being and mood, since you will have to admire the work of architectural art for a very long time, and the wrong choice will depress you and mar your existence outside the house (and how do you you know, the summer period of life in your own house-dacha passes outside the house, on the lawn, behind the barbecue, in the gazebo for a mug of good ale.This square does not include your own hobbies of the future tenant, which require additional space, It is also worthwhile to think about the possible increase in family members 3. Number of rooms and their function This criterion is an important basis for the upcoming planning If the developer is well aware of your lifestyle preferences, then he will make plans for the interior the most suitable for you.

What is the attic?

At the beginning of the 20th century, when houses became popular in Russia with flat roofs, the attic almost disappeared. Only in the 90 years with the development of private housing, in many houses the attic floors began to revive. The facade of such an apartment is formed by the roof surface, which can be located at an incline, or have a broken base. It is taken into account that the height of the attic at the highest point should not be less than 1.5 meters. Designing attics allows you to give the building a more lively view.

Roof of the house

  Do you need full-size (1/5 -1/8 of the floor area) windows on the second floor or they can be minimal (an area of ​​0.7-1.5 m2). In any case, it is necessary to provide full illumination in the room, usually the area of ​​the windows take 1 / 4-1 / 5 of the floor area than less room   the smaller the windows can be. Are you not limited in the height of the house under construction, consult with the architect, will not you overshadow the neighbors, thereby reducing the insolation of the neighboring cottage.

For the first time, the decision of the architect in France in the seventeenth century to place residential and utility premises in the attic, named his author, was called an attic. For the needs of individual construction, the equipment of such a floor may be the nature of a part of the project or be carried out after the completion of construction (during it).

Similarly, in existing multi-apartment buildings, the attic can be completed, for residential or office purposes. In the practice of such reconstructions, quite often such work is carried out for the equipment of offices, art studios and other purposes.

In any case, there is a rationing of the requirements for the equipment of the living quarters in the attic space, in particular, the height of the attic floor, ceiling heights of rooms and transitions, their illumination, etc. are determined. The definition of attics, the requirements for their purpose and characteristics are recorded in building codes and norms (SNiP 2.08.01-89 * "Residential buildings").

Forms and types of attics set. From the classics, with a broken roof shape, to the entire top floor, to polygonal shapes, with partial placement. When deciding to complete the second residential level in an already designed house, the developer may face technical difficulties associated with the estimated strength of the basement.

In this case, the decision in the choice of the attic or the second floor is taken in favor of the attic. For its construction, you can use lightweight structural materials, while the completion of a full-fledged second floor foundation can not withstand.

Pros and cons of the attic floor - form a personal opinion

By the way, there are pluses and minuses of the attic floor. Of course, the use of the existing building, with all its communications and connection to the existing life support structure, will undoubtedly be a plus. Expansion widens the living space, often it becomes a favorite holiday destination.

Such a massive completion removes the issue of condensation of already built-up central areas. The appearance of the original roof improves the appearance of the reconstructed building.

To the merits is that, since the attic is a floor, additional heat insulation is created, heat losses are reduced. In the end, such work is conducted without the involvement of heavy construction equipment and the need to evict tenants. Moreover, the existing priority right to invest in equipment of attic floors and the creation of two-level apartments among upper-level residents increases their interest in such renovations.

But the features of the attic lead to the fact that the windows in winter are more heavily covered with snow, which reduces natural solar heating and illumination. In addition, these windows themselves have a special design, they are significantly more expensive than conventional windows. The cost is also affected by a whole range of works on heat and waterproofing, because attic - this is the floor for living. The features of the sloping ceilings, which reduce the height of the walls, lead to the loss of useful areas of the attic rooms.

What regulates the question, is the attic floor?

Sometimes the decision in the matter, whether the attic is on the floor, is carried out in a judicial order. Especially if such construction is done to the detriment of the interests of neighbors. Doubts, it is considered an attic floor in apartment house, should not be. In case of investing in its equipment tenants of the adjacent floor, it is possible to install a two-level apartment with the assignment of the corresponding status of living quarters.

If the attic is equipped for office by the organization, then the room gets an apartment number and address in accordance with the home numbering. By the way, this priority for residents of the adjacent floor is maintained even during the execution of works.

Given that the attic can be formed into a separate floor, have two levels or mezzanine, there are a number of requirements that must be met attic floor, SNiP, mentioned at the beginning, specifies in detail all possible calculations of areas, depending on the geometry of the premises of such a floor. In particular, there are the following parameters: at what height should be the line of the broken roof (one and a half meters), what is the area of ​​the windows depending on the area of ​​the premises, minimum ceiling height, fire safety requirements,
