If you decide to build a two-story residential building made of wood, then at each stage you may have questions, the answers to which you can find in our article. In order for the future home to please its owners with comfort, coziness and reliability, it is necessary to take into account many nuances, from designing a house to choosing materials. In our article we will describe the advantages of wooden two-storey houses so that you have no doubts about the correctness of your choice, as well as give recommendations on planning, selection of materials and construction.

Advantages of building a two-story house

If we compare one-story houses and two-story buildings, the advantage of the latter is obvious - you get more living space, while the building itself occupies less land area. Usually, two-storey houses- this is the best housing option for an average family of 4-5 people.

Two-story residential buildings have the following advantages:

Due to the absence of the need to make an extended foundation, such houses are built much faster. In addition, the cost of arranging a long foundation is reduced. If we consider that these expenses make up about 30% of the cost of a house, then the savings are impressive.
Such a house is ideal for a small plot, because it does not take up as much space as a one-story building with the same living area. Despite the compactness of the building, you will get a full living space.
In a two-story house, it is much easier to separate the recreation area (bedrooms and children's) from the guest area by placing recreation rooms on the second floor. If desired, you can zone the space by making a separate entrance to the house for each zone. Thanks to a well-thought-out layout, two families can live in such a house without interfering with each other at all.
In the case of designing a two-story house, the field for the imagination of an architect and designer is significantly expanded. It is two-story houses that most often look beautiful, proportional and cozy buildings. And confirmation of this, numerous photos of such houses. One-story buildings, even with skillful design, seem squat and disproportionate.

Peculiarities

When calculating the cost of construction, you should remember that the design of a two-story house is slightly different from a one-story building, so the following points should be taken into account:

You will have to spend a lot more money on the arrangement of engineering communications (water supply, sewerage and heating systems), because the system will turn out to be more branched and complex. In addition to arranging the risers, it will be necessary to install circulation equipment, which will allow the heat carriers to circulate efficiently between the two floors.
The significant height of the house will require you to install scaffolding for construction and facade finishing work. It is also worth taking care of the methods of lifting building materials to that height. You may have to rent lifting construction equipment.
If there are elderly people, small children or people with disabilities in the family, it should be borne in mind that it may be difficult for them to move up the steep stairs in the house. In this case, on the ground floor it is worth providing all the necessary premises for these family members.

Benefits of using wood to build a house

Wooden houses have been popular at all times. To this day, many site owners who decide to build their own home opt for this versatile material. And this is not surprising, because the tree has a lot of advantages:

The walls of a wooden house provide natural ventilation premises, which contributes to the creation of a favorable microclimate inside the house. The special structure of the wood allows oxygen to circulate, so the house always maintains optimal humidity. Thanks to this, the premises do not require the arrangement of a complex ventilation system. Phytoncides contained in wood give the air healing qualities.
Ecological purity. Wood is a completely harmless environmentally friendly material that does not emit harmful substances throughout its entire service life. In addition, wood is considered a hypoallergenic material, therefore it is suitable for children and people suffering from various allergies.
Walls made of wood perfectly regulate the air temperature in the room, effectively retaining heat in the winter and maintaining beneficial coolness in the summer heat.
Wood - has high thermal insulation characteristics, so your heating costs at home will be negligible. At the same time, the heat in the room is distributed evenly, so the problem of cold floors will not bother you.
If you follow the construction technology and the rules of wood processing, then a wooden house can serve you up to 100 years.
An equally important advantage of wood is its aesthetic appeal. This allows you not to use exterior finish for houses made of logs, glued and profiled timber. In the latter case, smooth even inner side timber will give an excellent surface to the walls inside the room, which will save you from having to finish them with other material.
Both budget private houses and elite expensive buildings are made of wood. At the same time, the possibilities for an architect and designer when working with this material are simply unlimited.
Because wood is enough light material, during the construction of the base, you can get by with a shallow lightweight version.

Important: the only disadvantages of wood are its susceptibility to negative weather influences and increased flammability. However, the use of modern compounds for wood processing (antiseptics and fire retardants) will help protect the material from rot, mold, rodents and increase its fire safety.

Design subtleties

If you have chosen a wooden two-story house, then you should adhere to the following recommendations when choosing the layout, dimensions and configuration of the building:

The optimal size of a two-story building for not big family- 7x8 or 8x8 m. Such dimensions will allow you to leave on suburban area there is enough space for planting a garden, vegetable garden and organizing a recreation area. Thanks to these dimensions of the house, it will be possible to rationally arrange the rooms and equip a full-fledged staircase.
If you need a small country house, then the dimensions of the building can be reduced, but then the functionality and zoning will suffer, since the living room will turn out to be a walk-through, and a full-fledged staircase will take up too much usable area.
For a family of 4-5 people, a house with a total area of 110-130 m² will be enough. If you add a garage to this area, then it can increase to 200 squares. A dwelling with a usable area of a larger footage will be too expensive to operate and maintain. If a family of 4-5 people lives in such a house, then some part of the premises will simply not be used.
The layout of the first floor usually provides for the following premises: a vestibule, an entrance hall, a living room, a kitchen, a small bathroom (guest), a boiler room, in some houses you can find a place for a laundry room. If the dimensions of the house are slightly larger, then on the ground floor, in addition to the above premises, there will be a dining room, an office and a small guest room.

Tip: if you plan to make a garage in the house, then in addition to the gate for entering the car, the garage should communicate through separate doors with a hallway or hall.

Since corridors are not usable space and are considered inefficient space, when planning a house, it is worth arranging the rooms in such a way as to avoid the appearance of long and narrow corridors. Much better is a square hall or hallway, from which doors lead to different rooms, than a long narrow corridor without natural light.
At present, it is very fashionable to use the principle of flowing spaces when designing, that is, try to make as few partitions and isolated rooms as possible, preferring transforming translucent partitions, bar counters and open joint spaces to them. So, for example, you can combine the kitchen and dining room or living room. If desired, the space can be divided by a drop-down screen or a transforming partition. At the same time, one should not forget that the techniques of visual separation of the zones of the kitchen and the dining room (living room) should be used in the interior. Thus, it is possible to combine a hall and a living room, an office and a bedroom.

Important: thanks to the principle of flowing spaces, you will be able to avoid the appearance of dark narrow corridors in the layout.

The staircase in the interior of a two-story house can become a compositional accent of the layout and serve as a space divider.
The second floor in a two-story house is a recreation area. There is a children's room and bedrooms. It is also appropriate to provide a second bathroom (larger area) here. In addition, on the second floor you can make dressing rooms in the parents' and children's bedrooms, as well as a small guest room.
If there is a garage on the ground floor, then living rooms should not usually be located above it, since the floor in these rooms will be cold from an unheated garage.
In order to save some money on the construction of a private two-story house, you can make an attic floor instead of a full-fledged second floor. It will be no less comfortable and cozy, but you will save money on wall materials. However, do not forget that in this case you need to carefully insulate the roof.
