Methods and ideas for increasing living space in a private house
Let’s try to imagine that one small family lives in a beautiful and comfortable house. But what to do if the family is increasing? Of course, it is necessary to increase living space so that all family members can still be placed with comfort. It is possible to get out of this position, and for this there is one simple solution – it is necessary to complete the right number of rooms on the side or on top.
Another simple option for increasing the useful space of the cottage – using a small modification, you can turn an unused attic of the house into a comfortable living space. The construction of superstructures for one -story houses always carries certain difficulties with it, although the design itself seems quite simple.
The result of the superstructure of another floor is a violation of the overall harmony of the appearance of the cottage, a change in the standard proportions of the width and the height of the structure. Therefore, the superstructure is best obtained and fits organically into the external design of the house if it is made in the form of an attic, because its width and length fully corresponds to the original dimensions of the cornices.
If the house has a high gable roof, then it will be best to attach the missing rooms on the side. As an extension, there may be a garage or a veranda with a porch, a room for storing garden tools or a greenhouse with a terrace and much more. It all depends only on the imagination and needs of the owner of the house, as well as on the reasons for the need for additional space.
