Two-storey house with a garage: beautiful ideas for building

The car has long ceased to be a luxury. But it is much more than just a means of transportation. For some motorists, a private car is like a child. And the “child” needs his own room, especially if he can easily deliver the driver to his dwelling.

A two-storey private house, whether it is a full-fledged residential building or just a summer house, is a practical building. Geographically, it occupies not so much space on the site than a similar one-story building with the same area. It looks compact, even if the number of square meters is far more than 100. Often, two-story buildings are equipped with all the necessary rooms (and a living room, a guest bedroom, a playroom, a bath or sauna, and a garage), and not just a minimum - a kitchen and bedroom.

The decision to build a garage nearby, under the same roof, in the basement or in the house itself is also very practical, well-considered and ergonomic.Indeed, thanks to this, a technical room is obtained that will not freeze through in winter (which means that the car will start even with a very large minus outside the window), it will be equipped with electricity and in the dark it will be possible to work on improving the driving capabilities.

In general, a comfortable and even to some extent cozy room for an iron comrade. And besides, the building with a garage will take much less materials than two separate buildings. Less building material - less cost. Lower costs - more savings.

Of course, there are two-story buildings with a garage and their own disadvantages:

• For the elderly and those who have problems with the knee, the constant walking up and down the stairs are problematic. Therefore, they are most often assigned rooms downstairs on the first floor.
• There are certain difficulties in the construction of heating systems, as well as with water supply. It is necessary to lay pipes to the top. But this is all solved.
• Garage - a place where the machine will work, and therefore there will be harmful exhaust gases. When selecting materials for construction it is necessary to consider their throughput.When designing, you cannot place bedrooms or other actively used rooms next to the garage.

You can build a house with a garage from almost any material. Today there are a lot of both standard and individual construction projects from a variety of materials.

• Brick house - building classics. The brick has a number of advantages (non-combustible, the houses are quite warm, aesthetically attractive), it is preferred by people who love solidity. Such a house can be a real fortress. However, it will take a lot of such material to build a two-story house, and its installation requires a lot of time (or working forces).

• Wooden cottage - expensive structure, which experts refer to the elite buildings. They are natural and eco-friendly. Look very attractive, but very expensive. However, they are always in demand, even despite the price.

• Frame structure - modern construction technology, which allows you to build a spacious 2-story building in just one or two seasons. And if the house is manufactured by a reliable, reputable developer, then it will become a comfortable dwelling.

• Foam block house - economical and practical construction. Due to the size, so much material is not required (as, for example, with masonry). It has the ability to "absorb" harmful emissions, as well as a number of positive operational characteristics. However, at the completion of construction, finishing work is almost mandatory. In finished form, a foam block house without treatment looks gray and inconspicuous. Fortunately, the facade of such a house can be finished in such a way that only the owners will know what the building was originally built from.

And regardless of the material from which the construction and design of a two-story building with a garage will be conducted, this is a very crucial stage. All decisions that embodies the layout of the house must comply with sanitary and hygienic standards.

Garage extension to the house allows you to combine two buildings and at the same time save materials. Due to the fact that the garage is actually part of the building, the room can be equipped with everything necessary (light, heat).In practice, the house has at least two entrances - the “front door” for everyone and the entrance to the garage. The garage stands apart, but at the same time it is connected to the main space of the house through a door. The very location of the garage does not affect other rooms.

An extension can be decorated with a separate roof, or it can be a logical continuation of the house and serve, for example, as a winter garden or its roof can be an open terrace, as well as be equipped with a balcony.

You can attach the garage either at the front or rear, or at the side of the house. With lateral placement, the geometry of the house is simply drawn out. It should be noted that the extension of the garage can be made after the construction of the dwelling. But with joint construction, the task of erecting it is greatly simplified. There is no likelihood that a common foundation will squeeze, as can happen with a separately built house.

The main difference between these two-story houses is that the garage is a full-fledged room, albeit of a technical nature. Above it is a high-grade second floor with a separate room or rooms.

If you look at a section of the house, the placement of the rooms is as follows: on the first floor all the office space, as well as the kitchen, living room, office; on the second - rest rooms and bedrooms.

Houses with a garage and an attic can save building materials. At the same time, the garage area is actively “eaten up” by the attic premises, thereby compensating for the fact that a rather large space remains uninhabited. Such projects of houses are suitable for the construction of buildings in a small area.

When the house has a spacious and quite high basement, you can equip it in the underground garage. Often on the basement there are service premises, such as a boiler room, a furnace, a bath, a sauna. Therefore, it is logical and the placement of such technical premises as the garage below.

When building a basement garage, it is important to understand that the car will enter and leave at a certain angle of descent / ascent. And this bias needs to be made as flat as possible, comfortable, so that the car can easily leave the garage.

In addition to the garage, in the house zealous owners often place other equally important office rooms.Russian bath or Finnish sauna, which is located next to the garage - a good solution for lovers of comfortable relaxation.

Bath or sauna can be located both in the basement and above on the first floor. When building a house with a bath or sauna, and even with a garage, it is important to consider all the technical and operational aspects. The main thing in the construction of these premises to provide good waterproofing and insulation. Then the upper rooms will not suffer from excessive heat and humidity.

When there is more than one car in a family, there is a problem with the shelter of one of the iron horses. There are two solutions to this issue. The first is the construction of a spacious two-car garage; the second is the construction of two garages.

This entails an increase in the number of building materials and the construction of either two garages at once, respectively with two separate gates and doors, or one large room with a special expanded access system, that is, with non-standard wide gates.

Placement of a double garage can be different.It all depends on the project. But technically, such a garage can be located anywhere (with the exception of the second floor) - in the basement, as an extension, or in the house itself - it all depends on how the project is originally designed. A design is based on the desires and capabilities of the customer, that is, the owner of the house.

A beautiful two-storey house with a garage is a dream that is quite realistic to realize. And many projects of buildings of this type and a huge number of buildings already erected - this is confirmed.
