A one-and-a-half-story house with a veranda. Projects of one-and-a-half-story houses (Project selection)

The prospect of living in a private house is tempting for many land owners. The advantages are obvious: full ownership of the territories outside the walls, more usable space compared to a city apartment, less polluted environment, and in the case of construction from timber - an excellent microclimate, plus the absence of neighbors and much more.

However, the realities of life for the average family are such that the budget does not allow dreams to come true to the extent necessary for a comfortable stay. But this is not a reason to refuse it.

Relatively recently, developers introduced a new property to the real estate market - a one-and-a-half-story house. Information about the advantages, disadvantages and layout is below.

What are such objects? Surely future owners, cherishing the dream of a house, looked at many colorful projects in the construction company’s portfolio and noted the unusualness of some, which lies in the second floor: it is incomplete, since the rafter system slightly reduces its height and slopes the walls. This is the main feature of a one-and-a-half-story house.

The roof is available in several options: slope, dome. The objects are varied - with a bay window, and so on.

Advantages and disadvantages of one-and-a-half-story houses using various technologies

It is worth taking a closer look at which of the one-and-a-half-story houses is most profitable in general terms: cost, heat capacity, durability.

The comfort of living and the service life of the house directly depend on the choice of the right material and construction technology. Below are described the advantages and disadvantages that brick and one-and-a-half-story buildings have from different building materials.

Frame technology: timber and thermal panels

The popularity of prefabricated houses is growing. A one-and-a-half-story frame house has many advantages, one of which is the timing: the building is built in a few weeks. The advantages of such housing are as follows:

  1. The house is warm. According to the construction technology, panels with a layer of polyurethane foam, the best insulation in its class, are used.
  2. The design is lightweight and does not require a monolithic foundation.
  3. The cost of the house in comparison with other objects made from other building materials is low. This is an excellent option for young families starting their own lives.

However, one-and-a-half-story houses using frame technology have serious drawbacks, and in order not to be disappointed in the future, you should consider them too.

  1. Even when using a wooden frame, there is a question about the ecology of the house as a whole. The panels are sheets of sawmill waste with a large addition of glue, and the insulation is a derivative of the chemical industry.
  2. It is impossible to correct the layout after construction: frame walls are made in full accordance with the project. Car owners should consider their options in advance.
  3. Frame walls do not differ in durability.

You need to decide on construction of this type only after carefully weighing everything: the disadvantages that frame walls carry are very significant.

Brick object

Strength and durability are beyond doubt.

Its advantages are as follows:

  1. The material is not subject to temperature changes, shrinkage, or deterioration.
  2. The service life of a brick house is hundreds of years.
  3. A one-and-a-half-story brick house with a garage always has an impressive, presentable appearance.

There are also disadvantages:

  1. The cost of even a small object, for example, is impressive. The price of the foundation is also taken into account. A brick house requires a monolithic version, a slab or a strip.
  2. Construction timeframe. It will be necessary to support the foundation and frame before starting finishing and other work.
  3. A one-and-a-half-story brick house will need to be insulated: it is, after all, stone.

The expensive construction of a monolithic facility is justified - it is the best investment of your own funds.

Houses made of concrete derivatives: foam, gas and cinder blocks

Lightweight building blocks have found their consumer, and the popularity of such objects is growing. Significant advantages:

  1. Construction is not too expensive: a one-and-a-half block house does not require a monolithic foundation.
  2. The height of the object is 1.5 floors - ideal for this building material; High-rise buildings are not built from foam blocks.
  3. The technical characteristics of the raw materials are excellent: they hold heat well, are not subject to deterioration, and do not burn.
  4. Construction time is reduced due to the size of the units.
  5. Independent work is possible, as is a variety of layouts.

The disadvantages are significant, and before deciding whether to purchase or build a house from these raw materials, you should carefully examine them:

Project option for a one-and-a-half-story aerated block house

  1. Objects require cladding, as blocks are capable of absorbing and accumulating moisture, collapsing under its influence. In addition, the appearance is attractive only for foam blocks produced by the autoclave method.
  2. Some materials, especially cinder blocks, can “radiate” because fossil fuel waste contains radiation.
  3. For construction you will need a reinforcing rod and special glue. These measures are expensive, but they can strengthen the structure and reduce heat loss. In addition, individual planning will require reinforcement.
  4. The house needs to be insulated.

Despite the shortcomings, building blocks are popular in Russia because they are outwardly respectable like mansions.

Construction of one-and-a-half-story houses made of timber

The most common construction of one-and-a-half-story houses was made of timber.

Project of a one-and-a-half-story cottage made of timber with a terrace

Indeed, the material is good:

  1. Environmentally friendly, unlike foam blocks and panels.
  2. Easy to process.
  3. Acceptable price. Timber is definitely cheaper than brick.
  4. The house is warm due to the structure of the wood. But the roof and walls will do without insulation if beams larger than 150 mm are used.
  5. Any layout is possible. One-and-a-half-story timber houses with a garage and a veranda are popular.
  6. The rafter system is one with the house.

But owners seeking to obtain the benefits of nature should know that they are using the most capricious building material.
Brick and foam blocks do not have such disadvantages:

The durability of timber depends on the type of wood and processing method. Glued coniferous varieties cope with this task better, but the cost will naturally increase.

So, having examined in detail the pros and cons of each technology - frame houses, monolithic, using foam blocks or wood - you can draw conclusions about the acceptability of a particular type of object for yourself.

Cheap does not always mean bad, and vice versa. Combination is also possible.

    What was done

    What does it cost us to build a house? Indeed, having a team of professionals and knowledge, building a house from scratch is a matter of time! But sometimes the task is more difficult! We have introductory ones - an existing foundation, or buildings on the site, extensions to existing buildings and much more! For the Matsuev family, this was precisely the difficult task. They had a foundation from an old burnt house, and a landscaped area around it! The new house had to be built in a short time on the existing foundation. Dmitry and his family had a desire to build a new house in the high-tech style. After careful measurements, a design was made that took into account the old layout, but had a new modern form with interesting innovations! The house now has an entrance area where you can sit at a table on cozy evenings and a complex but possible in our area exploitable roof. To implement such a roof, we called upon our knowledge and modern building materials, LVL beams, fused roofing and much more. Now in the summer you can have an unusual dinner on such a roof or watch the stars at night! In the decoration, our architect also emphasized the minimalistic and graphic high-tech style. Smooth plastered walls with painted plank details, and wooden beams at the entrance added personality. The inside of the house is decorated with imitation timber, which is painted in different colors depending on the purpose of the room! Large windows in the living room kitchen overlooking the site created the desired effect of illumination and airiness of the space! The house of the Matsuev family has graced our photo gallery in the section of country architecture in the high-tech style, a style chosen by brave Customers with excellent taste.

Next, work began on the box. A frame house with 200 mm insulation along the entire contour and a unique roof insulation technology of 300 mm. For the exterior decoration, siding was chosen in a spectacular combination of colors - coffee and cream. Accents are placed thanks to powerful roof overhangs, an interfloor belt and large windows!

    What was done

    When you decide to become the happy owner of your own home and move to a new home for permanent residence, first of all you think about what the house will be like; what to build it from; how much will it cost and most importantly, WHO will do all this?
    Alexander came to our company with the desire to move to his own country house. He liked the Avignon project and there was already a strip foundation on the site. After the initial visit to the site, measurements and inspection of the foundation, we gave our conclusions and recommendations. Strengthen the foundation, change the project and adapt it to the size of the existing foundation! After agreeing on the cost, it was decided to build in winter. Alexander received a gift of reinforced concrete floors, one of the leading construction teams and a house according to the design he liked, which stood on a plot with exterior finishing by spring! Alexander observed every stage of construction, regularly visiting the construction site and was pleased with the result, and we were pleased with our work. This is an individually designed Avignon project, implemented in stone technology with external insulation and siding finishing!

It was decided to build the house from aerated concrete blocks so that the future handsome country man would delight the owner for decades! The customer voiced his wishes for finishing - and we, in turn, brought everything to life. Thanks to detailed visualization of the project, each element of the exterior decoration is a member of a friendly ensemble! Bavarian masonry, as the final stage of exterior decoration, looks noble and thorough. Without a doubt, such a tandem - aerated concrete and brick - can easily be called the best solution in the field of stone housing construction - warm, affordable, beautiful, reliable. Modern technologies have advanced so much that such unique configurations become available in a short time, because we built this project over the winter months. The main thing is to have the necessary knowledge and constantly replenish it!

    What was done

    When Customers come to us with bright, modern ideas for their future home, we become doubly excited! After all, working on a new stylish project 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 of land with picturesque views of the Oka bank! This view could not be ignored, so a dizzying terrace (51.1 m2) and a large balcony, oriented towards beauty, became an indispensable attribute of the future house! Vladimir wanted to relax in nature in a wooden house, but it was necessary to build a house in a short time, and frame construction technology became the ideal solution for such problems! If we’re going to be different, it’s in everything! The house was made even more spectacular by the vertical finishing of imitation timber made of durable larch, painted in natural shades with emphasized wood texture. Laminated windows complement the modern look of the house! It turned out to be an excellent country house, with highlights and at the same time incredibly functional.

    It all started with an individual project found by the Customer’s family on a European website. It was with him that she came to our office for the first time. We made preliminary calculations for the project, took a tour of the existing construction site, shook hands and work began to boil! The architect improved and adapted the project to the site and the Client’s family; the foreman “planted” the house on the site. Based on geological surveys, it was decided to place the house on bored piles. The frame grew in a few weeks, then the roofing, insulation, exterior finishing! Over the winter, a house grew on the site. The customer invited a third-party technical supervisor who monitored the process independently of our multi-stage control. The color scheme for painting the imitation timber was selected by our manager and here in front of us is the bright and cozy country house of the Pushkov family’s dreams!

Good day!
Please criticize the layout!
The time has come to replace an old house in the village; the budget is limited - approximately 1.5 million rubles for the power unit. We are considering two options - a house with one and a half floors 6x9 or a one-story house 8x8, 8x9, 8x10 edge. This topic presents a project for a 6x9 house with one and a half floors. The material considered is wood - timber or logs, due to budget, most likely timber. The old house was used for seasonal living from April to November. The new one is also planned to be used by parents (2 people, 60 years old) - the owners and most frequent residents, a young family with a one-year-old child - visiting on weekends and on vacation. I would like to be able to stop by for a weekend in the winter, but this will happen extremely rarely, for example on New Year's holidays.
I want the most economical layout for the budget, but at the same time have some space in the house, build bedroom cages of 6 square meters. m. no desire.
For heating, I really want to use a stove, as long as I have a Dutch or Swedish stove in mind, whatever will fit. It is planned to place it within the current layout in the living room-kitchen. In the remaining rooms we plan to place convectors that will be turned on as needed.
The presented option has a size of 6x9, one and a half floors, the height of the first floor is 2.7 meters, the one and a half floor is an attic with a gable roof, the walls are 1.5 meters.

I'd love to hear advice and opinions!

What roughly would you like to get, an example of a facade (does not correspond to the layouts below):

It is advantageous to build a one-and-a-half-story frame house on a small plot. It has all the advantages of a two-story cottage, but is cheaper. Using the freed up space, you can build a garage nearby. Such houses are suitable for permanent residence and are well used in winter.

The construction of a one-and-a-half-story house is carried out by building up the attic walls above the first level. Such a building does not have an attic, because it becomes part of the living space and is constantly in use. The house may include a cuckoo, a balcony, a bay window or other small forms of architecture - it all depends on the approved project.
