A country house with an area of ​​6x8 m2 is an excellent alternative to a three- or four-room city apartment. Living conditions outside the city limits offer maximum comfort and convenience, while the living space is evenly distributed on both floors of the building.

If you decide to significantly increase your living space and start breathing really fresh air, the project of a house with an attic area of ​​6 by 8 m2 is perfect for you.

Peculiarities

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 car's reach for vacation or permanent residence. The attic gives the house additional coziness and original appearance, in addition, it will make it possible to use the space under the roof much more efficiently.

Like any building, such a house has a number of features, among which are the advantages that are characteristic of the described type of country house. On the one hand, each house is unique in its own way and the issue of choice seems to be purely individual. In the same time the choice should be based on validated data and clear criteria. Everything in order:

  • Rationality... The small footprint (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 conditions of permanent residence. A house with a size of 6x8 m2 will allow you to experience economic benefits already in the first year of living. In addition, a small cottage is much faster and easier to clean and redevelop.
  • Compactness... Not everyone can afford a large plot of land, provided that the features of the terrain may 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 be easily placed on a standard six acres, while leaving space for a recreation area and a multifunctional garden.
  • Functional accessibility of residential and business areas... If a few seconds are enough for you to get from the bedroom to the kitchen or to walk from the garage to the attic in a couple of minutes, then the dimensions of your country house are really optimal and allow you not to get lost in four walls.
  • Actually, the attic. After all, we have not just an attic designed to store unnecessary and fundamentally not thrown out rubbish, but a full-fledged living space under the roof.
  • Acceptable price... This point is specially highlighted at the end as decisive when choosing from several options for house sizes. 6x8 m2 is an excellent combination of comfort and a relatively low price.

After the preliminary decision has been made, you need to get acquainted with the future project of your own suburban housing more carefully and in detail and determine what, in fact, to build a house from.

Building materials

There are not so many main types of materials for the construction of a small country house: wooden beams, logs, bricks. Houses made of foam blocks and aerated concrete are very popular nowadays. Let's consider all these options in more detail, taking into account, first of all, the peculiarities of operation and the cost of owning a house of each type.

Wooden beams

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 preserving heat, and will also last long enough and retain an attractive appearance.

Log cabin

It is not worthwhile to unambiguously write a house made of logs into the category of fabulous teremki, which have a place somewhere in a popular village or an old Russian settlement. The main indicators of this type of house are as follows:

  • high strength and durability, which allows the structure to be used for more than one generation and to inherit the house;
  • high environmental friendliness and safety of materials used in the construction: a log is the same tree, only sawn and hewn.

The thickness of the log depends on the purpose of the house. If you are planning a summer cottage option for the summer, logs can be used that are not very thick, but if we are talking about a capital "winter" house, then the thickness of the log should be at least 25 cm.

Frame construction

This type of panel construction is characterized by quick and easy assembly, relatively inexpensive cost and a wide variety of options available on the market today. Such a house is not built, but is assembled from ready-made parts produced at the factory. The main work and, accordingly, the costs are associated with the interior decoration of the frame house.

An important note: frame-type houses do not shrink, as a result of which it is possible to engage in interior decoration immediately after the construction of the house.

Aerated concrete blocks

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

  • perfectly retain heat and have sound insulation properties;
  • have a low specific gravity, 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 handling and care.

After the choice is made in favor of one of the options due to the presence of a wide variety of building materials on the modern market, it's time to start creating a project for a future country house.

Project

The project of a country house or summer cottage is a very difficult engineering solution, fraught with a number of difficulties. You can draw up a work plan and calculate all the costs yourself, especially if you have a lot of time and you are doing such a thing for the first time, or you can act wisely and entrust such work to professionals with good recommendations and great experience. This will not only save a lot of 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 your own design.

At the same time, do not forget that it is you and your family who will live in the future house, so the key decisions should be made on your own. However, do not forget that home is a collective concept, so the opinion of all family members, including pets, must be taken into account.

Such serious questions as “do we need a house with a terrace or will we manage”, “what shape and size should the stairs to the second floor be?”

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

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

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

Beautiful examples

We bring to your attention several of the most typical options for houses with an attic measuring 6x8 m2:

  • An excellent example of a cozy frame house made in European style. A pleasant color scheme deserves special attention: the combination of light, almost white, and brown tones creates a serene mood and gives a feeling of lightness and airiness to the entire structure. A small neat porch seems to be a logical completion of the whole structure.
  • A corner porch and an insulated veranda greet everyone who enters this cozy house made of wooden beams. For aesthetic reasons, the foundation is faced with imitation brick, which harmoniously matches the color of the tiled roof. The layout of the premises inside the house is classic, and the attic is divided into two bedrooms.
  • In this example, the arrangement of windows in the attic is interesting: a canopy in the form of a small gable roof over the window has not only an aesthetic, but also a practical function. Again, a good combination of the color of the tiles and "artificial" bricks should be noted.
  • What prevents from doing 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 in relation to the attic, but also for the general type of structure: the building gives an impression of both comfort and stability. Instead of a veranda, the author of the project preferred a wide comfortable porch, which, if desired, can be glazed.
  • And this is already a non-standard approach to solving the problem: a country house of 6x8 m2 with original design features of the roof and a spacious summer veranda that can act as a living room. In this example, you can see an excellent combination of colors and the practical completeness of all structural elements.
