In the context of the current constant rise in land prices, housing construction is growing in a vertical direction. Developers increase useful area houses by equipping comfortable residential attics. But what if there is still not enough space, and there is no free land for the construction of an extension? Experienced craftsmen believe that in this situation there is only one way out - the wing to the roof.
Most people, when they hear the term "outbuilding", represent a small structure, detached from the main house, used for economic purposes or as a guest summer dwelling. In fact, this word of Germanic origin, which literally means "wing", has three meanings:
Please note that the outbuilding on the roof can be used to equip a small office, nursery or playroom, and if you make a roof of molded polycarbonate, then a winter garden or a greenhouse can be placed in this room.
According to the reviews of professional builders, arranging an outbuilding on the roof is the cheapest way to increase the useful living space of a private house. However, in addition to this function, a small extension makes appearance roofs are more original, decorative and intricate. There are 2 options for installing a mezzanine on the roof:
Important! In terms of the volume and complexity of the work, as well as the amount of costs, it is much easier to plan the construction of an outbuilding during the preparation of a house project. In case of reconstruction, already finished roof you will have to almost completely rebuild the rafter frame and remove the roof covering.
Experienced craftsmen that the outbuilding can be attached to almost any private house. When planning such a radical reconstruction, you need to take into account design features roofs, number of storeys and height of the house, bearing capacity of the foundation, load-bearing walls and ceilings. After all, the addition of a mezzanine to the roof has a huge impact on its design:
Remember! So that the outbuilding extension does not have a destructive effect on the roof and the house as a whole, it is necessary to calculate in advance the increase in the load on the foundation, and also use lighter materials for construction, for example, sandwich panels.
It is believed that the installation of a mezzanine on a finished roof is a rather complicated process from the point of view of technology, which is best entrusted to experienced, professional craftsmen. All manipulations need to be carried out only in accordance with the project. Usually the installation process consists of the following steps:
Important! When arranging the mezzanine, I pay great attention to the places where the roofing material adjoins the vertical surfaces, additionally isolating them. These places are often the cause of leaks.
Outbuildings played a special role in manor architecture over the centuries. They were of economic importance and were used as housing for servants. Separate structures of the secondary level were part of the integral complex of the entire site, functionally and compositionally emphasizing the overall endurance of the main structure. The most common type of construction was the wing. What is this building and what is its main function?
The outbuilding is an additional extension to residential building, which can be either part of it or located outside of it. As a secondary element of the building, it nevertheless obeys the main structure. The meaning of the word "wing", which comes from the German Flügel, translates as "wing". In architectural terminology, it is a small side building under a special roof at the main building, which can also be located separately, but not far from the main building. A similar meaning is also characteristic of such peculiar synonyms of the word "wing", such as a wing, annex, annex, a little mansion.
In the old days, in the construction of housing, such architectural techniques as a three-part composition were quite often used: a central building, galleries, walkways and wings. Life itself determined it. The main building housed the owner's ceremonial and living rooms. The servants lived in the wings, there was a kitchen, guests stayed. Passages-galleries made it possible to pass from each wing to the house without going outside, which was especially important in winter period or in inclement weather. In the second half of the XVIII and early XIX century, such architectural techniques were often used in palace and manor ensembles. What function does the wing perform today? What is it: an additional or a full-fledged building?
For a long time, the outbuilding served as a secondary building that did not provide all the necessary amenities. Today it is more often used as a full-fledged structure, connected to utilities, equipped with lighting and heating.
The development of suburban construction is gaining more and more scale. It is quite convenient and prestigious to have a house designed for permanent residence or recreation, located near the city. These are no longer small, unpresentable houses, but cozy cottages, in the design of which all the necessary main building with all the amenities, a terrace and often an outbuilding were provided for in advance. What is this room and why is it being erected on the site? Is it an extension or independent building used as an additional room. Its purpose may vary depending on the wishes of the owner. Sometimes the wing is used to organize winter garden, playroom for children, guest rooms. Often this is an extension with a gym, sauna. The outbuilding can still serve as a utility room with a garage attached to it. Any of the concepts is quite real, its implementation depends on the area of the site and the financial capabilities of the owner.
The current ancillary projects allow any exciting idea to come true. It is quite popular, practical and convenient to place them on the roof of a building. For this, only such specific points as the location of the building, the type of roof, the material of the supporting structures and its strength characteristics, the effect of wind and precipitation, and changes in the drainage system are provided in advance. When they are taken into account, it is easy to erect an outbuilding on the roof, which has a strictly horizontal arrangement and allows. to realize almost any architectural idea. It is possible to create an extension on the mansard roof.
During the construction of housing, the selection of materials is carried out not only depending on the wishes of the owner, but also on such factors as the architectural solution of the project, climatic conditions, economic and physical and mechanical indicators of building materials.
If the house is with an outbuilding, then they are mainly combined in appearance and material, so that the general idea is not disturbed. suburban areas the most popular material is wood. Houses made of it are environmentally friendly, they are distinguished by an excellent microclimate.
Modern architectural projects make it possible to realize any idea of creating a house, to which an outbuilding is attached. That this is an indispensable element of the house, especially outside the city, has already been appreciated by many owners. This is a convenient and practical structure, moreover, capable of creating a kind of romantic halo around the common building. The main thing is to reasonably approach the construction of this structure and take into account all its features.
(Story, 1892).
Description hospital yard overgrown with nettles, where it stands small wing... In the hallway, the watchman Nikita, an old retired soldier, always sleeps on old rubbish.
In the room, on beds screwed to the floor, there are 5 madmen, one of whom is of a noble rank, and the rest are philistines. One of them is the Jew Moiseyka, who was in prison when his hat workshop burned down. He is one of all let out into the street, where he is given a pretty penny, some kvass, some something else. Everything that Moiseyka brings is taken by the watchman Nikita "for his own benefit." Moses loves to serve, but does it not out of compassion, but imitating her neighbor with right side Ivan Dmitrievich Gromov, who helps everyone, but sometimes something like a fever rolls over him, and he, choking, speaks about "human meanness, about violence that tramples the truth."
About 12-15 years ago, an official Gromov lived in his house on the main street, and with him his two sons, Sergei and Ivan. As a 4th year student, Sergei fell ill with consumption and died. Through pedelya, the father was accused of forgery and embezzlement of state money and was brought to justice. He soon died in a prison hospital from typhus. Ivan is forced to earn his living by frequent lessons and send part of the money to his mother for food. He breaks down and goes home. He was given a place in the district school, but he did not get along with his comrades, did not like the students and soon gave up the place. The mother died. For six months he ate only bread and water, then went to court as a bailiff until he was dismissed due to illness.
They loved him in the city. He was very educated and well-read. One autumn morning, Ivan Dmitrievich goes to a bourgeoisie to receive a writ of execution. On the way, he meets prisoners with escorts, and this meeting makes a heavy impression on him. On the way home, Ivan Dmitrievich meets a police warden, which also seems suspicious to him. Ivan Dmitrievich sleeps at night. He is haunted by thoughts of a possible arrest, although he knows no guilt behind himself. He has nightmares. For several days, all people passing by the windows and entering the courtyard seem to him to be spies and detectives. He is afraid of everything, avoids people, the service becomes unbearable for him. In the spring, two half-rotted corpses with signs of violent death are found near the cemetery. Fearing that he will be suspected of murder, Ivan Dmitrievich walks the streets and smiles, when meeting with his acquaintances he assures that "there is no mean crime like the murder of the weak and defenseless." In the end, Ivan Dmitrievich hides in the master's cellar, where he sits for two days. When stove-makers come to the hostess, it seems to him that they are policemen in disguise. He gets out of the apartment and runs down the street in horror. They detain him, bring him home and call a doctor - Andrei Efimovich. They decide that Ivan Dmitrievich is mentally ill, and they send him to the hospital in ward No. 6.
In addition to Ivan Dmitrievich and the Jew Moiseyka, the ward contains "a peasant who is swollen with fat, almost round, with a stupid, completely meaningless face. This is an immobile, gluttonous and unclean animal, which has long lost the ability to think and feel. He is constantly emitting an acute, suffocating stench" ... The peasant does not respond to Nikita's severe beatings with sound, movement, or expression of his eyes.
The fifth inhabitant of ward No. 6 is a former letter sorter, blond with a kind, sly face. He is obsessed with the idea of being awarded rare medals.
There are rarely new people in the ward: only the barber comes in. However, soon it was rumored that the doctor began to visit the insane.
Doctor Andrei Efimovich Ragin in his youth prepared himself for a spiritual career, but at the insistence of his father he devoted himself to medicine. The doctor has a cautious gait and a high-pitched voice. He dresses casually. Before Andrei Efimovich took office, arbitrariness was going on in the hospital and a terrible mess reigned. Andrei Efimovich was indifferent to the riots. At first, he works very hard, patients praise him for his attention and competence. Over time, the doctor gets bored with monotonous and useless work. The doctor comes to the conclusion that there is no need to stop people from dying. Andrei Efimovich gives up and visits the hospital not every day. In the morning, Andrei Efimovich is met by a paramedic Sergei Sergeevich in the waiting room. In the city he has an enormous amount of practice, wears a white tie, and considers himself more knowledgeable than a doctor who has no practice at all. Sergei Sergeevich is religious. On Sundays, one of the patients reads the akathist aloud, and then the paramedic walks around the wards and fumigates the sick with incense.
Andrei Efimovich accepts patients hastily, does not perform any operations anymore (for some time now the sight of blood is unpleasant for him), hastily prescribes medications so that the patients would quickly leave him alone. Over time, the process of "treatment" finally bothers him, patients are taken by a paramedic. Arriving home, Andrei Efimovich begins to read. He buys a lot of books on history and philosophy. In the evenings, postmaster Mikhail Averyanich visits the doctor. Under the influence of good thoughts, read from books, his own past and present becomes disgusting to Andrei Efimovich. He comes to the conclusion that he is serving a harmful cause and receives a salary from people whom he deceives. The zemstvo allocates additional funds to strengthen the medical staff in the hospital. A young doctor Yevgeny Fedorovich Khobotov arrives in the city. He uses only one book - " Latest recipes Vienna clinic for 1881. "He does not introduce a new order, fearing of offending Andrei Efimovich. The new doctor secretly envies the old one and would gladly take his place.
One day at the end of March, the barefoot Jew Moiseyka asks Andrei Efimovich for a pretty penny. With a mixed feeling of pity and disgust, the doctor asks Nikita to give Moiseyka the boots. Ivan Dmitrievich calls the doctor a reptile and an executioner, a charlatan, says that it is necessary to kill him, claims that hundreds of madmen are walking free, and several unfortunates must sit out for everyone in ward No. 6.
Andrei Efimovich advises Ivan Dmitrievich to run, but he himself agrees that it is useless. The doctor really likes talking with Ivan Dmitrievich. He decides that he is very smart and interesting person, decides to visit him more often.
The next day, Ivan Dmitrievich confesses to the doctor that he took him for a spy. He accuses the doctor of lack of will, laziness, connivance.
Andrey Efimovich starts going to ward No. 6 every day. Doctor Khobotov once catches his colleague talking with a madman and soon persuades the paramedic to eavesdrop on these conversations with him. After listening to the "philosophizing" of Andrei Efimovich, they both come to the conclusion that the doctor is not himself.
Andrei Efimovich notices that the attitude of those around him is changing. All hints advise him to stop drinking. Under a plausible pretext, he is summoned to the city council, where they ask seemingly harmless questions. Leaving the council, Andrei Efimovich guesses that it was a commission called upon to examine his mental health. In the evening, the postmaster comes to him and invites him to go abroad with him.
A week later, Andrei Efimovich was offered to resign. Together with a friend, he goes to Moscow, where the postmaster behaves "like a lord." The doctor is annoyed with his friend. They go to Warsaw, where the postmaster loses 500 rubles, borrows them from the doctor, who after that only has 86 rubles. Upon his return, the doctor has to change his habits: he has no work, no money. He is unable to renew contact with Ivan Dmitrievich, as the latter's condition is deteriorating. Andrey Efimovich owes everyone. The rare visits of Khobotov's colleague and the paramedic annoy him. The postmaster sympathizes with him, but does not give the money. One day the postmaster and Hobotov visit Andrei Efimovich together. The postmaster jokes as usual, and even promises to marry Andrei Efimovich. He is unexpectedly annoyed and indignantly drives out the guests. Left alone, he regrets his deed. The next morning he goes to the postmaster and apologizes to him. The postmaster seriously invites him to take care of his illness. The doctor assures that he is not sick. In the evening, Khobotov comes to Andrei Efimovich and unexpectedly invites him to a consultation at the hospital.
Andrei Efimovich ends up in ward No. 6. Nikita takes away his dress. Ivan Dmitrievich mockingly urges him to "philosophize", and the former doctor admits that he is completely discouraged. Andrey Efimovich tries to go out for a walk, but Nikita severely beats him.
The next morning, Andrei Efimovich falls into apathy, does not answer questions, does not respond to visitors. Towards evening he dies of apoplectic stroke.
In the classical interpretation, an outbuilding is a small, independent, or attached to a residential or utility building, used for temporary residence of people or other household needs. This is additional living space.
Naturally, the simplest option for a roof outbuilding is to design it in advance, when building a new house. In this case, it is much easier to bind additional nodes and connections, to create a single complex with the main building.
What determines the possibility of building an outbuilding on the roof?
It will be influenced by several factors:
Naturally, those for whom aesthetics are important should evaluate whether the new structure will decorate the facade of their house. In general, whether it is a pitched or sloping roof - there is almost always a technical solution, the question is in the owner's desire and his financial capabilities.
The development of suburban construction is gaining in scale. The unpresentable barn houses, which were proudly called dachas, are becoming a thing of the past. In place of unpresentable houses, cozy cottages are being erected, in which all comfort zones are provided: rooms, a kitchen, bathrooms, a terrace, and sometimes an outbuilding.
An outbuilding is an extension used as an additional room. It is erected to have another guest room or playroom for children. Sometimes the outbuilding is designed to organize a winter garden or a small gym in it. Whatever the owners choose, one thing is clear - an outbuilding is never superfluous. In private houses, an outbuilding is usually placed on the roof - this is convenient and practical.
An outbuilding is an extension to a house or a detached residential building, functionally and compositionally combined with the main structure. The literal translation of the term wing from the German language means wing, which explains the huge number of synonyms of definition in Russia: annex, curb, annex, limb, wing, mansion. The wing is a full-fledged residential building with heating, lighting and sanitary facilities.
We are talking about the outbuilding when it is necessary to constructively increase the living space. Initially, premises for service personnel, servants in the old way, and guest rooms were added in manor-type buildings. Starting the reconstruction of the building, we tried to preserve the laid down style, decoration, so the shape of the wing organically continued the main structure, not emphasizing, but continuing it, as if it was originally intended that way. If there was no compositional solution, the wing was built separately, keeping the style of the complex.
The modern wing also solves the problem of increasing the living space, changing the architectural appearance of the building. The construction of multi-level wings, double, built and other complex levels, gives a modern individuality to the appearance of the building, making the layout of the house unique.
It would be more reasonable to include the outbuilding immediately into the project of the house, in which case it is possible to choose one of standard projects, which are in abundance in our time. If your house has already been erected, do not be discouraged either, there is different options solutions to this problem. First of all, several important factors should be considered:
It should be remembered that although it is theoretically possible to install an outbuilding not only on the roof of a house, but on auxiliary buildings and annexes, a builder, especially an inexperienced one, will inevitably face difficulties. For example, it should be taken into account that the projected outbuilding will certainly increase the load on the already existing supporting structures of the house, the roof will also change its appearance, and this is dangerous not only and not so much damage to the aesthetic feelings of your neighbors, but will also create additional windage, which will have a detrimental effect when strong wind.
If the strength of the walls and floors is insufficient, then you can choose lighter and stronger composite materials. or install additional columns. Also, do not forget about the gutters and the type of roof, whether it will be separate for the outbuilding or serves as a continuation of the main one. And most importantly, do not forget that we are still building an auxiliary room, do not try to build something monumental, many problems will go away by themselves.
Thus, remember:
And remember, among other things, this structure should harmoniously fit into the overall appearance of the building, and not stick out, a callous to the eye.
The development of suburban construction is gaining in scale. The unpresentable barn houses, which were proudly called dachas, are becoming a thing of the past. They are being replaced by cozy cottages, the designs of which provide for all comfort zones: rooms, a kitchen, bathrooms, a terrace, and sometimes an outbuilding. An outbuilding is an extension used as an additional room. It is erected to have another guest room or playroom for children. Sometimes the outbuilding is designed to organize a winter garden or a small gym in it. Whatever the owners choose, one thing is clear - an outbuilding is never superfluous. In private houses, an outbuilding is usually placed on the roof - this is convenient and practical.
It's good when the outbuilding is designed during the construction phase of the house, but sometimes best ideas appear late. Therefore, it is necessary to decide on the creation of an extension, focusing on the existing house and its characteristics. Before starting work, it is worth objectively assessing a number of important factors:
Very often, an outbuilding is erected on the roofs of outbuildings or in the garage. In the future, they attach the structure to the house, making the installation of a single roof or implementing other architectural ideas. If the owners are engaged in the construction of the outbuilding on their own, without involving professional workers, then some points must be foreseen in advance. After all, the construction of an outbuilding on the roof of the house:
When building an outbuilding, it is necessary to evaluate possible risk for the building to avoid troubles during operation
Important!
An outbuilding on a house can bring not joy, but destruction. If there is a suspicion that there will be more negative impact, then it is better to abandon the idea of \ u200b \ u200bthe roof and build an outbuilding on the territory next to the house.
No problems are expected with the construction of an extension in houses where the roofs are strictly horizontal. Almost any structure can be easily installed on a flat surface.
The outbuildings, created on the basis of the old veranda of the upper floor, look good. All that is required in this case is to partially isolate the room from the main part of the house, glaze the openings and make a roof. If you additionally insulate the roof, then the outbuilding can be used in the cold season as fully as other rooms.
One way to get additional room in a newly built house - erection of an outbuilding on the roof
Previous options were considered for houses with sloping roofs, but much more often in suburban real estate you can find another option - a pitched roof, and then you need to take into account its features.
Important!
The construction of additional columns will make it possible to build an outbuilding on any type of roof of the desired area and configuration. The load on the supporting structures will be minimal.
In addition to problems with the weight of a new building, it is necessary to find answers to a number of questions:
The erection of an outbuilding on pitched roof is a rather complicated procedure, the implementation of which should be entrusted to specialists
It is unlikely that it will be possible to solve this on your own, too much will have to be changed in the life support systems of the house. Therefore, further work will proceed in one of two directions:
Let's try to summarize the points that need to be taken into account when planning the construction of an outbuilding on the roof of a house:
The presence of an outbuilding creates a certain aura of romance around the house. This cozy room differs from the general building in some special atmosphere. Therefore, if an idea has arisen to build an outbuilding on the roof of a house, then, of course, it is better to implement it. The main thing is to reasonably approach this issue and take into account all the features of construction.
