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 additional room... Its purpose may vary depending on the wishes of the owner. Sometimes the outbuilding is used to organize a winter garden, a 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.
"Outbuilding" in the courtyards at 24 Vosstaniya is the third project of Alexander Basalygin and Sergey Larionov (after "Architect" and "Third Cluster"). The first tenants moved in here in the fall, but the official launch has not yet happened. The Village got to know the guests and found out how the place will develop.
Gallery "Photo Department"
The “Outbuilding” space is conventionally divided into two parts: a five-story building with a single entrance, which the locals call a tower, and two-story buildings, whose tenants can be accessed directly from the street. One of key places in the courtyard - "Photo Department", a fund to support young Russian photography. This is not only the office of the organization, but also an exhibition hall, where expositions change every month. Now they are showing works by Natalia Reznik "In Search of My Father". Themed lectures and seminars are held behind the wall. In addition, there is a small library with a selection of rare photography books in different languages, a Lebigmag shop and magazine rack. The interior of the space was developed by the architect Rhizome Group, the authors of the design of the St. Petersburg cafes "" and "".
Wine Bar Do Immigration
One of the first places in the Fligel - the Do Immigration wine bar - was opened by Viktor Bocharov and Yekaterina Savchenko, who actively sold hot dogs under the Do Sosiski brand last summer. All wines are poured into glasses and sold for 150 rubles, despite the fact that the varieties are far from being the cheapest. The menu is appropriate - crostini (slices of toasted bread with cheese with various additives), cheese and meat plates, marinated olives, and hot panini with prosciutto or anchovies.
Hostel Kultura
The hostel, designed by the artist Igor Yankovsky, has 19 rooms: four of them are four-bedded, two are eight-bedded, and the rest are doubles. A night here costs from 420 to 2 240 rubles, depending on the day of the week and the number of beds in the room. The price includes Wi-Fi, iron, washing machine and use of all kitchen appliances.
Each room in Kultura Hostel is dedicated to a city landmark and is decorated accordingly. In the spacious living room, open meetings dedicated to sustainable living are held every Wednesday. There is a small souvenir shop at the hostel.
The place is working in a technical mode - one of the halls is still undergoing renovations, and next to it, a store with vinyl records is being prepared for opening. Nevertheless, the bar is already fully equipped and even has its own specialties. It is worth paying attention to draft beer - ten craft beers at 150-200 rubles per pint - and herbal liqueurs in large quantities. The food includes sandwiches, vegetable hummus, smoked cheese appetizer and pickled eggs.
Fligel Store
Showroom with clothes and accessories from St. Petersburg designers - GreatCriss, TDM, Satinn, Cliff, Liza Odinokikh, Sasha i Pasha, Mila Markina, Cor Timor Cor and Saint-P. The assortment is regularly replenished with new items from Russian and foreign brands, and in the near future an exchange with a similar store in Florida will start, from where young American brands will arrive at the Fligel Store.
Burger Grill & Veggies
The first burger shop Grill & Veggies opened two years ago on Komendantsky Avenue, but over time its owners decided that they couldn't do without a branch in the center. On the ground floor of the "Outbuilding" tower, they cook everything the same as on the outskirts: almost three dozen burgers, including several vegetarian ones, and rolls - cutlets and vegetables wrapped in flatbreads. Among alcoholic beverages- beer and a good collection of bourbon.
There is not much space in the bar, but they still come here in large companies - to play board games and dance. For this purpose, Grill & Veggies have built a DJ stand.
Fort Ross store
V hospital yard there is a small outbuilding surrounded by a whole forest
burdock, nettle and wild hemp. The roof on it is rusty, the pipe is half
collapsed, the steps by the porch rotted and overgrown with grass, and from the plaster
only traces remained. The front facade is facing the hospital, the back -
looks out into the field, from which a gray hospital fence with nails separates him.
These nails, pointed upward, and the fence, and the outbuilding itself have one
a special dull, cursed look, which we have only in hospital and
prison buildings.
If you are not afraid to burn yourself on the nettles, then let's go along the narrow path,
leading to the outbuilding, and see what is going on inside. Opening the first door
we enter the hallway. Here, near the walls and near the stove, whole mountains of hospital
trash. Mattresses, old tattered robes, pantaloons, shirts with blue
stripes, worthless, worn out shoes - all this rag is dumped in
heaps, crumpled, tangled, rotting and emitting a suffocating odor.

soldier with reddish stripes. He has a stern, drunken face, drooping eyebrows,
giving the face the expression of a steppe shepherd, and a red nose; he is short,
seemingly lean and sinewy, but his posture is imposing and his fists are hefty.
He belongs to those simple-minded, positive, executive and
stupid people who love order more than anything else and are therefore convinced
that they must be beaten. He hits the face, the chest, the back, anything, and
I am sure that without this there would be no order here.

ovens and is carbon monoxide. The windows are disfigured from the inside with iron bars. Floor litter
and a splinter. It stinks of sour cabbage, wick smoke, bedbugs and ammonia, and
this stench in the first minute makes you such an impression as if you
enter the menagerie.
The room has beds bolted to the floor. People sit and lie on them
in blue hospital gowns and old-fashioned caps. They are crazy.
There are five of them here. Only one noble title, the rest
all the bourgeoisie. The first from the door, a tall, thin tradesman with redheads
with a shiny mustache and tear-stained eyes, sits with his head propped up, and looks
to one point. Day and night he is sad, shaking his head, sighing and bitterly
smiling; he rarely takes part in conversations and usually
does not answer. He eats and drinks mechanically when given. Judging by the painful
a thumping cough, thinness, and a flush on his cheeks, he begins to have consumption.
He is followed by a small, lively, very agile old man with a sharp
a goatee and black, curly, like a Negro's hair. In the afternoon he
walks through the ward from window to window or sits on his bed, tucking
legs in Turkish, and restlessly, like a bullfinch, whistles, softly sings and
chuckles. He shows childish gaiety and lively character at night, when
then gets up to pray to God, that is, to knock his fists on
chest and poke your finger in the doorway. This is the Jew Moiseika, a fool who has gone mad
about twenty years ago, when his hat workshop burned down.
Of all the inhabitants of ward No. 6, only he is allowed to leave
outbuilding and even from the hospital yard to the street. Such a privilege he
has been using for a long time, probably as a hospital old-timer and as a quiet,
a harmless fool, a city jester, whom they have long been accustomed to seeing on
streets surrounded by boys and dogs. In a robe, in a funny cap and
in shoes, sometimes barefoot and even without pantaloons, he walks the streets,
stopping at the gates and benches, and asks for a pretty penny. In one place they will give him
kvass, in the other - bread, in the third - a pretty penny, so that he returns to

pockets and calling God to witness that he will never again

Moiseika loves to serve. He serves food to his comrades, covers them when
they sleep, promises everyone to bring a pretty penny from the street and sew on a new one

He does this not out of compassion and not out of any humane considerations.

as if for exercise, he sits very rarely. He is always excited, agitated and

expresses extreme concern and disgust.
I like his wide, cheeky face, always pale and unhappy,

on his face with deep sincere suffering, reasonable and intelligent, and in
the eyes have a warm, healthy glow. I like him himself, polite, helpful and
unusually delicate in dealing with everyone except Nikita. When
someone drops a button or a spoon, he quickly jumps out of bed and
raises. Every morning he congratulates his comrades good morning by lying down
sleep - wishes them good night.
In addition to being constantly stressed and grimacing, madness
it is expressed in the following. Sometimes in the evenings he wraps himself in his
robe and, trembling all over, chattering teeth, begins to walk quickly from corner to
corner and between beds. It looks like he has a severe fever. By
as he suddenly stops and looks at his comrades, it is clear that
he wants to say something very important, but, apparently, realizing that his

It turns out a messy, awkward medley of old, but not yet finished
About twelve or fifteen years ago in the city, on the main
street in own home lived the official Gromov, a respectable man and
prosperous. He had two sons: Sergei and Ivan. Already a student
fourth year, Sergei fell ill with transient consumption and died, and this death
as if it was the beginning of a whole series of misfortunes that suddenly fell on
the Thunder family. A week after Sergei's funeral, the old man's father was given over to
trial for forgery and embezzlement and soon died in a prison hospital from typhus. House and
all movable property was sold under the hammer, and Ivan Dmitritch and his mother were left without
any means.
Before, with his father, Ivan Dmitritch, living in St. Petersburg, where he studied in
witswersigege, received sixty to seventy rubles a month and had no
concept of need, but now he had to drastically change his life. He must
was from morning to night giving penny lessons, doing correspondence, and yet
starve, since all earnings were sent to the mother for food. Such a life
Ivan Dmitritch could not resist; he lost heart, decayed and, leaving the university, left
home. Here, in the town, under the patronage, he received a teacher's job in the county
school, but did not get along with his comrades, did not like the students and soon left
place. The mother died. For six months he went without a place, eating only bread and
water, then entered the bailiff. He held this position until those
until he was fired due to illness.
He never, even in his young student years, did not make an impression
healthy. He was always pale, thin, prone to colds, ate little, bad
slept. One glass of wine made him dizzy and hysterical. His
always attracted to people, but due to its irritable nature and
suspiciousness he did not get close to anyone and had no friends. About the townspeople he
always responded with contempt, saying that their gross ignorance and sleepy
animal life seems to him vile and disgusting. He spoke in tenor,
loudly, hotly and nothing else but indignation and indignation, or with delight and
surprise, and always sincere. What you used to talk about with him, he is everything
reduces to one thing: it's stuffy and boring to live in the city, society has no higher
interests, it leads a dull, meaningless life, diversifying it with violence,
gross debauchery and hypocrisy; the scoundrels are fed and dressed, and the private ones eat
in crumbs; need schools, a local newspaper with an honest direction, a theater,
public readings, cohesion of the intellectual forces; need society
realized itself and was horrified. In his judgments about people, he put thick colors,
only white and black, not recognizing any shades; humanity was divided
he has on honest and scoundrels; there was no middle ground. About women and love he
always spoke passionately, with delight, but never was in love.
In the city, despite the harshness of his judgments and nervousness, he was loved and
for the eyes affectionately called Vanya. His innate delicacy, helpfulness,
decency, moral purity and his shabby coat, sickly

he was well educated and well-read, he knew, in the opinion of the townspeople, everything and was in
the city is something of a walking reference dictionary.
He read a lot. It used to be that everyone sits in the club, nervously tugging at their beard
and leafs through magazines and books; and it is clear from his face that he does not read, but
swallows, barely having time to chew. One must think that reading was one of his
painful habits, since he pounced on everything with the same greed
what fell into his hands, even on last year's newspapers and calendars. At home
he always read himself lying down.
One autumn morning, pulling up the collar of his coat and spanking in the mud,
Ivan Dmitritch was making his way down the alleys and backyards to some bourgeois
get but a writ of execution. His mood was gloomy, like
always in the morning. In one of the alleys, he met two prisoners in
shackles and with them four escorts with guns. Previously, Ivan Dmitritch was very
often met prisoners, and each time they aroused feelings in him
compassion and awkwardness, but now this meeting produced on him some
a special, strange impression. For some reason it suddenly seemed to him that his
can also be shackled and led in the same way through the mud into a prison.
Having visited the tradesman and returning to his home, he met near the post office
the police officer he knew who greeted him and walked
a few steps outside, and for some reason it struck him as suspicious. Houses
the whole day the prisoners and soldiers with guns did not get out of his mind, and
did not light a fire in himself, and did not sleep at night and kept thinking that he could
arrest, shackle and jail. He knew no guilt behind himself and
could guarantee that in the future he would never kill, set fire to and steal;
but is it difficult to commit a crime accidentally, involuntarily, and is it not

small, dirty town, two hundred miles from railroad! Yes and no
Is it funny to think of justice when all violence meets
society, as a reasonable and expedient necessity, and every act
mercy, such as an acquittal, causes a whole explosion
an unsatisfied, vengeful feeling?
In the morning Ivan Dmitritch got out of bed in horror, with a cold sweat on his forehead,
already quite sure that he could be arrested every minute. If yesterday's
heavy thoughts do not leave him for so long, he thought, it means that they have an awn
element of truth. They could not really come to mind without any
The policeman walked slowly past the windows: it was not for nothing. Here are two people
stopped near the house and were silent. Why are they silent?
And for Ivan Dmitritch, agonizing din and nights came. All passed
past the windows and entering the courtyard seemed to be spies and detectives. At noon
usually the police officer drove along the street in a pair; it was he who was driving from his
suburban estate in the police board, but Ivan Dmitritch felt
every time that he drives too fast and with some special expression:
obviously hesitating to announce that a very important criminal has appeared in the city.
Ivan Dmitritch shuddered at every bell and knock at the gate, languished when
met a new person at the hostess; when meeting with police and gendarmes
smiled and whistled to punish the indifferent. He stayed awake all nights
all day long, expecting to be arrested, but snored loudly and sighed, as if sleepy, so that
the hostess thought he was asleep; because if he is not sleeping, then it means that he is being tortured
remorse - what evidence! Facts and sound logic convinced him that
all these fears are nonsense and psychopathy, that in arrest and prison, if you look
on a wider matter, in essence, there is nothing terrible - the conscience would be calm;
but the cleverer and more logical he reasoned, the stronger and more painful became
mental anxiety. It was like oh, how one hermit wanted to knock out
a place in a virgin forest; the harder he worked with the ax, the thicker
and the forest grew stronger. Ivan Dmitritch in the end, seeing that it is
useless, he gave up reasoning altogether and surrendered himself entirely to despair and fear.
He began to retire and avoid people. The service was disgusting to him before,
now she was intolerable to him. He was afraid that somehow
let him down, unnoticeably put a bribe in his pocket and then catch him, or he himself
will inadvertently make a mistake in public papers that amounts to forgery, or
will lose other people's money. It is strange that at no other time was his thought
as flexible and inventive as now, when every day he invented
thousands of different reasons to seriously fear for their
freedom and honor. But on the other hand, interest in the outside world has significantly weakened, in
particular to books, and began to greatly change memory.
In the spring, when the snow melted, in a ravine near the cemetery they found two
half-rotten corpses - an old woman and a boy, with signs of violent death.
In the city, there was only talk about these corpses and unknown murderers.
Ivan Dmitritch, so that they would not think that he had killed, walked the streets and
smiled, and when meeting acquaintances turned pale, blushed and began to assure that
There is no meaner crime than the murder of the weak and defenseless. But this lie
soon tired him, and after some reflection, he decided that in his

he is in the middle of the room, not moving and listening. Early in the morning before sunrise
the stove-makers came to the hostess. Ivan Dmitritch knew well that they came next,
to move the oven in the kitchen, but fear told him that it was
policemen disguised as stove-makers. He quietly left the apartment and,
seized with horror, without cap and frock coat, he ran down the street. Behind him with barking
the dogs were chasing, a peasant was shouting somewhere behind, the air whistling in his ears, and Ivan
It seemed to Dmitritch that the violence of the whole world had accumulated behind him and was chasing
He was detained, brought home and the hostess sent for a doctor. Doctor
Andrey Yefimych, about whom we will speak ahead, prescribed cold lotions on his head
and laurel-cherry drops, sadly shook his head and left, telling the hostess that
more he will come, because one should not prevent people from going crazy.
Since there was nothing to live on and to be treated at home, soon Ivan Dmitritch
sent to the hospital and put him there in the ward for venereal patients.
He did not sleep at night, was capricious and disturbed the sick, and soon, by
by order of Andrey Yefimych, was transferred to ward no.6.
A year later, the city completely forgot about Ivan Dmitritch, and the books
his, dumped by his mistress in a sleigh under a shed, were taken away by the boys.
The neighbor on the left side of Ivan Dmitritch, as I said, the Jew Moiseika,
the neighbor on the right is a fat-swollen, almost round man with a stupid, completely
meaningless face. It is immobile, gluttonous and unclean

sound, no movement, no expression of the eyes, but only slightly sways, as
heavy barrel.
The fifth and last inhabitant of ward No. 6 is a tradesman who once served
sorter at the post office, a small, thin blond with a kind, but somewhat
a crafty face. Judging by the clever, calm eyes, looking clearly and cheerfully, he
on his own mind and has some very important and pleasant secret. He has under
pillow and under the mattress something that he does not show to anyone, but not from
fear that they can take away or steal, but out of bashfulness. Sometimes he comes up to
window and, turning his back to his comrades, puts something on his chest and
looks with his head bent; if you approach him at this time, he will be embarrassed and
rip something off your chest. But its secret is not difficult to guess.
Congratulate me, - he often says to Ivan Dmitritch, - I am presented to
Stanislav of the second degree with a star. The second degree with a star is given only
foreigners, but for some reason they want to make an exception for me, - he smiles,
shrugging his shoulders in disbelief. - I didn’t expect it, I must admit!
I don’t understand anything about this, ”Ivan Dmitritch declares gloomily.
But do you know what I will achieve sooner or later? - continues the former
sorter, screwing up his eyes slyly. - I will certainly get the Swedish "Polar

very beautiful.
Probably nowhere else is life so monotonous as in

in the entryway from a large tub and wipe themselves with the folds of their dressing gowns; after that they drink from
pewter mugs of tea, which Nikita brings from the main building. To each

in the evening they have dinner with porridge left over from lunch. In between, they lie, they sleep,

does not accept anymore, and fans of visiting mad houses are a little on this
light. Once every two months, Semyon Lazarich, the barber, visits the wing. How is he
cuts crazy people and how Nikita helps him do it and what confusion
the sick come every time a drunken smiling barber appears,
we won't talk.
Except for the barber, no one looks into the outbuilding. The sick are condemned
see only Nikita from day to day.
However, recently a rather strange
A rumor was spread that the doctor had started to visit ward no. 6.
In the classical interpretation, an outbuilding is a small, independent, or attached to a residential or business 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 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 wing will certainly increase the load on the 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 also create additional windage, which will have a detrimental effect on strong winds.
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.
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 this room can be placed winter Garden or a greenhouse.
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 the appearance of the roof more original, decorative and intricate. There are 2 options for installing a mezzanine on the roof:
