We are building a garage with a residential attic. Garage with an attic - a good combination? House with an attic and a garage: the choice of materials for building walls

When planning the construction of a detached garage on your site, it is convenient to place an attic above it. This is especially beneficial when building garages for two cars, when there is a sufficiently large area above them. What are the projects of garages for two cars with an attic, the features of their construction and arrangement, the article will tell.

Convenience and practicality of buildings

You can make a cozy workshop, adapt it to a convenient warehouse or even a lounge.

In any case, this room significantly expands the area of ​​utility areas and solves the problem with unnecessary things stored in pantries, on balconies and in sheds.

The project of a garage for 2 cars with an attic has a number of advantages and disadvantages, which are presented in the table:

Tip: To build a garage with an attic for two cars, you can use different materials. But at the same time, it must be borne in mind that the first floor must have sufficient strength to withstand the rather large weight of the superstructure.

Planning

When drafting a garage with an attic, the following factors should be taken into account:

• Construction cannot be carried out in a lowland. In this place, the building will be constantly heated by melt and storm water.
• It is not recommended to build a garage with an attic for 2 cars next to trees, the roots of which can severely damage the structure.
• When designing a garage with a residential attic, it is necessary, first of all, to think over the issues of electrification, water supply and sewerage.
• It is not advisable to build a building over underground utilities to which free access must always be ensured.

Documentation for the project

Garage projects for 2 cars with an attic may include the following documents:

• The layout of the building on the site.
• Scale and color sketch of the structure.
• Plan of the garage showing all dimensions and height marks, indicating the locations of the gates, doors and stairs.
• Description of the selected foundation (see).
• Drawings of the frame and materials for its finishing.
• Sketches of the truss system and a description of the roofing material.
• Scheme of supply of communications.
• Explanatory note.
• Calculation of the necessary building materials.
• A set of necessary tools.

Choosing a place for construction

Each capital building, including a garage with an attic, requires a certain territory. The two-story construction of such a structure requires an area half the size of conventional buildings.

When choosing a construction site, certain conditions must be observed:

• Provide good access to.
• There should be a free space of 5 to 7 meters between the entrance and the building. In this case, it is possible to park conveniently if there is no need to put the car in the garage.
• Any irregularities in the landscape will create additional work - a fairly flat area is required for a garage.
• Ability to provide communication.
• The optimal distance between the garage and the residential building is approximately 5 meters. This will allow the driver to easily reach the car in any weather.
• The place for building a garage should be slightly higher or on the same level with the rest of the territory in order to avoid flooding.

Subject to these conditions, taking into account the peculiarities of the landscape, the location of your site, an ideal place is chosen for the construction of a garage for two cars with an attic, as seen in the photo.

Drafting a project

After choosing a place, you can begin to develop a project. At the same time, it can be ordered from an architectural organization or purchased ready-made.

Its price is quite high, but development time is significantly saved. In this case, representatives of the agency can go to the site, make all the necessary measurements and develop a project specifically for the conditions and requirements of the customer. Specialists will help you choose a finished project, then its cost will be less.

Drawings or sketches can be developed by yourself.

Tip: When developing a project on your own, it should be shown to specialists who will approve the documentation and, if necessary, correct it.

The project development manual suggests the following steps:

• Determine the number of places in the garage - for one, two or more cars.
• Decide on the functional purpose of the attic - will it be residential or non-residential.

• . The attic can protrude slightly above it, which will create a shelter from the summer heat. This takes into account the dimensions of the vehicles.

• Decide whether only cars will be placed in the room, or they will be repaired here, which will require an increase in the area for placing tool racks, free space for a person to move when repairing a car.

Tip: When drawing up a plan, only accurate measuring tools should be used.

• An attic plan is being drawn up. If a living space is planned, then there should be a bedroom, a bathroom and a corner for the kitchen.

• A roof is being developed for the building.

• The power supply system is being installed.
• The materials for the construction of the building are determined. The cost of the garage, the duration of its construction, the durability and reliability of the structure depend on this. The fastest way to build a frame garage, and modern materials make it possible to protect the premises from the cold.
• The final project is drawn up on paper, taking into account the smallest details of the design.

Which project is better and how to create it yourself shows the video in detail.

Project implementation

After developing a project, you can bring it to life with your own hands or hire a team of workers. Building garages with an attic is a laborious process.

This will require:

• Make a foundation. The best option is a monolithic slab device. For a large garage, it may not be alone. A single slab is poured with concrete; several ready-made concrete slabs can be laid.

• Raise the walls. Easy to process and low cost materials are foam and gas blocks.

You can use brickwork and other building materials. Everyone chooses according to his desire and possibilities. This leaves openings for windows, doors and gates.

• Build a roof.

• Connect communications: electricity, water, sewerage, gas.

• Perform finishing work on the residential attic and the premises of the garage itself.

Outside, the building is sheathed with siding or clapboard, plastered with decorative plaster or other finishing materials are used.

• The territory adjacent to the building is being equipped. It can be a flower garden, a lawn sown with grass, ornamental shrubs, which will add comfort to the garage with an attic and the entire site.

Compliance with all the conditions of the project, the manifestation of imagination, high-quality work will allow you to build a garage for two cars with an attic for every taste. The building will serve as a place for storing cars and a residential building for a long time.

They built a country house using frame technology plus a small veranda. The cost came out quite economically, and in terms of 3 and a half months. Finished even a couple of weeks earlier than promised. We go to the country house only in the summer, so I can’t say anything about thermal insulation. Thanks

Thank you so much for building a house of aerated concrete. The quality of both material and work is excellent - FRIENDS ENVY. The terms of the work performed - in about 4.5 months a house was built from scratch. Good luck to you all, good clients and big houses!!

They built a house for us in 3 months (they started the foundation at the end of summer, and finished the walls and interior decoration in the fall), it turned out not cheap, but everything was thought out, our participation was minimal. This year we are building a bathhouse with them! Thank you for such professional guys that you provided us!

Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication! Everything is prompt, high-quality, fast! Thanks to the team led by Alexei!

The company built a great summer house for me! I have no complaints about the company, next summer I am going to build a bathhouse and a garage, I will definitely contact them. Thanks to everyone, especially Sergey's team, which built for me, a lot depends on them!

We built a house of aerated concrete in your company - very satisfied. A house was built on our pre-prepared foundation in 45 days. And as a gift received home insurance for a year. So I recommend.

In August 2017, I ordered a foundation (monolithic slab) for a house in the Leningrad region. In 2018, I already ordered the house itself. I can recommend, because were satisfied with the result. Everything was done quickly and professionally.

We ordered a house and a garage in this company in the summer of 2016. The builders worked for about 4 months without a break (they liked it very much). Everything was done according to the contract, no extra money was asked.

Frequently asked questions before construction

About company

How long has your company been operating?

Our company began work as a repair and finishing company in 2007. From that moment we have grown to the construction industry and all thanks to our employees. Special thanks for the work invested in the development of the company.

What confirms the competence of specialists?

All architects and engineers of the company have qualification certificates. Because the project is not accompanied by a company license, but by an architect's certificate. By law, the architect is responsible for the project.

Does your company do all the work? Or are you hiring contractors?

• We ourselves carry out general construction, finishing works, site arrangement, wiring of engineering systems (electricity, heating in the house, water supply) and so on.
• We invite contractors to work that we do not perform every day and require specialization, for example: the production and installation of windows and doors (special orders), air conditioning systems, boiler room equipment, installation of wells, septic tanks.
• Search, attraction, compliance with agreements and control over the performance of work by contractors is our task.
• We carry out 80% of all works on the construction of your house on our own and only 20% involve contractors.
• We conclude an agreement with each contractor, in which he indicates a guarantee for the work performed by him, and in case of malfunctions, their elimination lies with the contractor.

Can I see the objects that are currently in operation?

Yes, there are objects that we can show at different stages of work and houses that have already been handed over by prior arrangement.

about the project

Buy a standard project or order an individual one?

Buy a finished project.

• The plus is the price.
• Minus - it will not provide for all your wishes regarding materials and layouts. Also, it will require refinement for the features of your site.

Buy a finished project and modify it.

It all depends on the changes you want to make. It is possible that it will be more profitable for you to develop an individual project than to modify a typical one.

The cost of such improvements should be discussed at the meeting.

Development of an individual house project.

• Pros: all your wishes regarding all the characteristics of the house and the site are taken into account.
• Minus - the cost of such a project is higher than a typical one.

BUT! You can develop an individual project for free. If our company builds, then the development of an individual project is free of charge for you.

How is the development of an individual project?

• The development of an individual project begins with the signing of the contract and the first meeting with the architects, at which the client voices his wishes. As a result of the meeting, a design task is drawn up, which is an annex to the contract.
• Architects prepare several versions of sketches and decide with the client in which direction to move on. During the entire design period, several meetings with the client take place, at which all architectural and design solutions are worked out in detail until the client is satisfied with everything, which he confirms with a signature on the Draft Design.
• Next, a Working Draft is being developed. This is the calculation stage of each design solution, in which the client is not involved.
• This whole process takes from 2 weeks to 2 months, after which the client receives a finished project with ready-made detailed calculations, which is necessary when applying for a building permit.

About construction

Will you travel to the site where the construction is planned?

Yes. When inspecting the site, we take into account the dimensions, the entrance from the road and its width, the proximity of neighbors' buildings, the presence of a slope or difference, cardinal points and what kind of soil is on the site.

Do you help with the selection of a building site?

Yes. Our experts help with site selection. They will help you find it according to your requirements on the Internet with ads.

What affects the final price of a home?

The cost of building a house is affected by:

• site features: relief, conditions of entry, location
• materials used in construction
• house architecture features
• conditions for the production of work (limitations on work time)

What guarantees do you give?

We give a guarantee of 3 years for our work. The warranty is given by the manufacturer and it is different in each case. There are materials for which the manufacturer gives a lifetime warranty.

How can I control construction?

• We send each client a step-by-step photo report of the work.
• We install online video surveillance of the object 24 hours a day, you and the company's specialists have access to it (paid service).
• You can also use the services of companies that carry out technical control.
• The construction is being delivered in stages, you always see which stage and only after accepting one, we proceed to the next.

When is the contract signed?

• The design contract is signed at the meeting, before the first communication with the architect.
• The construction contract is signed after the development and approval of the estimate.

When do I have to pay for your work?

For design, an advance payment must be made within 5 days after signing the contract in the amount of 70% of the total amount. The balance is paid when the finished project is handed over to the client.

Payment for construction is broken down according to the stages that are specified in the estimate. Each stage of construction is also divided into payments, the amount of which may be different (usually this is due to the need to purchase materials)

How are builders placed?

1. It will be convenient if you have the opportunity to place builders near the construction site, a garden house, a construction trailer, an old house or any other building with a roof will do.
2. If there is nothing like that, then we are ready to bring our change house for FREE.
3. In extreme cases, we will place our builders in a nearby hostel

What communications are needed to start construction: electricity, water?

Electricity with a capacity of at least 5 kW and industrial water.

If not, we will bring our generators for FREE. Water in most cases in wooden construction is used only for domestic needs, we will provide its delivery on our own.

What time of year do you build?

We build all year round, one of the important conditions in the spring-autumn period is a suitable road for vehicle access.

We work throughout the Moscow region

Volokolamsky district, Voskresensky district, Dmitrovsky district, Egorevsky district, Zaraisky district, Istra district, Kashirsky district, Klinsky district, Kolomensky district, Krasnogorsky district, Leninsky district, Lotoshinsky district, Lukhovitsky district, Luberetsky district, Mozhaysky district, Mytishchi district, Naro-Fominsk district, Noginsky district, Odintsovo district, Ozersky district n, Orekhovo-Zuevsky district, Pavlovsky-Posadsky district, Podolsky district, Pushkinsky district, Ramensky district, Ruzsky district, Sergiev Posadsky district, Serebryano-Prudsky district, Serpukhov district, Solnechnogorsk district, Stupinsky district, Taldom district, Chekhov district, Shatursky district, Shakhovskoy district, Schelkovsky district.

This preliminary design was developed for the popular object " Garage with attic, for two parking spaces. The project of a garage with an attic allows the most rational use of the space available in the summer cottage, forming a spacious double garage box and forming a free-plan living space above it. On the ground floor of the garage there are two openings with automatic sectional doors. The accepted dimensions of the gate openings are width 3.0, height 2.3 m. Also, at the level of the first floor, there is an entrance group with a small gable roof resting on wooden racks. For natural lighting of the first floor with a garage, small fanlight windows are designed.

Garage attic spacious enough to be able to plan the necessary accommodation for living. The roof of the attic is gable, with dormer windows. These windows, together with large windows in the gables, provide a wonderful filling of the premises with natural sunlight.

The architecture of the garage with an attic in this project is far from last. To create a complete spectacular image, numerous decorative elements are used when finishing the facades, making the garage lively and attractive.

Structurally, a garage for two cars is built on a single monolithic foundation slab, with brick walls made of working bricks for subsequent cladding with a front layer of ceramic bricks. The load-bearing beams above the gate openings and to support the ceiling are monolithic reinforced concrete, with rich reinforcement. The construction of the attic walls is conceived from aerated concrete blocks for more efficient heat saving. A warm attic in the garage is a necessity, because it is likely that living on the second floor will be required during the cold season.

A car in our time is not a luxury item, but a means of transportation, a mechanical friend of man. And he, too, has the right to his own "house". But how to do this in conditions of austerity of space?

When, it would seem, all the options have been thought out and rethought, another of the options for “houses” comes to mind - a garage with an attic. After all, the attic can serve not only as non-residential premises for tools and spare parts. There you can equip a room or two. This property of the structure will be especially useful in the country. After all, you do not have to build a house and a garage separately. In this age of advanced design and engineering technology, this can be easily combined.

The easiest way to get a beautiful front lawn

Of course, you have seen the perfect lawn in the movies, on the alley, and perhaps on the neighbor's lawn. Those who have ever tried to grow a green area in their area will no doubt say that this is a huge job. The lawn requires careful planting, care, fertilization, watering. However, only inexperienced gardeners think so, professionals have long known about the innovative tool - liquid turf AquaGrazz.

Like every capital building, a certain territory will be required. Due to the peculiar “two-story structure”, such a garage requires two times less territory than with conventional buildings.

When choosing a place, several conditions must be observed:

Observing these conditions, as well as taking into account the features of the landscape and the location of your site, you can choose the perfect place, as in the photo.

Create a project

Having chosen a place, you can start creating a project. There are two ways here.

First, an order at an architecture agency

You can place an order at an architectural agency and purchase a finished project. This is more costly in financial terms, but more profitable in saving time. And time, as you know, is also money. In this case, the agency can even go to the site, take all the necessary measurements and develop a project specifically for your conditions and requirements. It is also possible to combine ready-made agency projects to reach a consensus of quality and price.

Secondly, the project can be developed by yourself.

True, this should be approached with all care and scrupulousness. After all, not just a barn or even a doghouse is being built, but, very often, a full-fledged residential building. Even in the case of independent creation, it is advisable to show the project to the architect for correction and approval.

When developing a project, you need to sequentially perform the following steps:

• Decide on the number of seats (one, two or more cars).
• Decide what functional purpose the attic part will have. It can be residential or non-residential.
• Calculate the required area of ​​​​the garage (after all, the attic can protrude above it, creating a shelter from the heat in the summer months). You need to proceed from the size of your car. You also need to decide whether this will only be a place for the “living” of the car, or for minor repairs. In the second case, the area must be increased taking into account the space for various tools.
• Draw a plan on graph paper. About 0.5-1 m should be left on the sides of the car. This place will be used for maneuvers when leaving the garage. You also need to take into account the place for aisles, lockers.

It is necessary to use precise tools so that the plan drawn “by eye” does not become a fiasco in the execution of the project.

Having finished the plan of the first floor, you need to proceed to the second. Since in most cases the attic is residential, at least a bedroom, a bathroom and a kitchenette should be planned here. Above the large one, respectively, there will be more living quarters, which we see in the photo.

• You should also take care of the roof for the building. Here everything is done according to the canons of capital construction.
• Since in the garage you will need to at least wipe and vacuum the car, it is necessary to plan and conduct electricity. Wiring must also be designated in the garage project.
• When creating a project, you need to determine what materials it will be executed from. This affects the cost of the garage, the speed of construction, as well as durability and reliability. A garage can be built very quickly using frame construction methods, and modern materials will provide protection from the cold.

The final draft should be done on paper, not in your head, as people tend to forget. And a seemingly unimportant moment can later create problems in the construction process. How to draw up a garage plan can be seen in the photo.

Project implementation

Here you also have a choice. When buying a project from an architectural agency, you can also hire a team of workers who will erect the building in a relatively short time.

If you want to go all the way yourself, you need to remember that this is a laborious process.

After all, this is a major building. Therefore, you will need:

1. Make a foundation. The best option is a monolithic slab (if large, then there may be several). But this slab lies in a specially dug and prepared trench. You can create a solid slab by filling the desired area with concrete. You can also buy ready-made material - concrete slabs.
2. Raise the walls. The cheapest and easiest material to process are foam and gas blocks. It is also possible to use brickwork, prefabricated sif panels and other building materials. It all depends on your imagination and financial constraints.
3. In the walls you need to make holes for inserting windows and doors. This can also be done by specialists. If you have certain knowledge and skills, you can do this work yourself.
4. Roof construction. The best material in terms of price / quality ratio is metal tiles (see photo).
5. Connecting communications: electricity, water, sewage, gas, internet, etc. It would be best to involve a specialist in this (and especially in conducting electricity).
6. Internal and external finishing works. From the inside, you need to take care of the residential attic, as well as the premises of the garage itself. Outside, the building can be bricked (expensive, difficult, but reliable), sheathed with siding or clapboard, plastered with decorative plaster. It all depends on your financial capabilities and the width of your imagination.
7. Beautification of the surroundings. It would be quite useful to set up a flower garden nearby, sow a lawn with lawn grass, etc. This will only add coziness.

Subject to all conditions, as well as the manifestation of imagination, perseverance, diligence, you can create for every taste. It will serve you for a long time not only as a place to store a car, but also as a home. You can build and equip as in the photo.
