Considering projects country houses, developers sooner or later face a choice of which house to build on their suburban area: one-story or two-story. Due to various circumstances related to budget or usable area restrictions on the site, as well as based on the advantages and disadvantages of single-story or two-story houses, and a choice is made in favor of one option or another.
Project two-story house with a balcony covered with siding
Let's take a break and turn to history. At the dawn of the development of the construction industry, humanity simply did not have the knowledge and ability to erect buildings higher than one floor, so all buildings were one-story. In order to provide themselves with a high-quality and reliable home, people used clay. Based on this, the installation of the roof and its maintenance were not accompanied by danger, because for this it was not necessary to climb to the top.
When people acquired tools, a lot changed in life, including in the construction industry. Settlements began to be surrounded by high walls to protect them from hostile neighbors and predatory animals. Accordingly, the price of housing that was under protection increased significantly. This fact contributed to the development of multi-story construction, which made it possible to increase living space in a limited area.
Original project of a house with an attic and a balcony The development of the construction industry has made it possible to solve all problems with the construction multi-storey buildings, And high-rise buildings Now you won’t surprise anyone. However, despite this, for the development of the private sector, projects of two-story houses of a small area, with a garage, terrace, balcony and other functional features are mainly used.
The key factor when choosing the number of floors of a future private house will be the size land plot. As a rule, if there are not too large areas two-story construction are given greater preference. If on small areas to build, then with the same living area it is possible to occupy the entire land, leaving no room for plantings and outbuildings. An important factor when choosing is visual perception buildings.

There are enough budget projects, suitable for citizens with average incomes.

When owners of suburban areas choose house designs, they strive to maximize the living space through various techniques. It is for this reason that houses with a terrace and a balcony are especially popular, because these functional additions allow you to temporarily or permanently remove some living areas from the rooms. The design company “Svoy Dom” in Moscow offers many interesting solutions For suburban construction, including a wide range of houses with a terrace and balcony at an affordable price.
The balcony, unlike the loggia, is not in the same plane with the facade of the house, but protrudes forward, thus adding usable area. The size of the balcony depends on your preferences. For example, if you plan to equip a full-fledged work room or dining area there, you should choose a larger balcony. You can also take out some functional premises to the terrace.
Even if the terrace is glazed, in the warm season it can let in a large number of natural light, and large glazed doors can always be opened and let fresh air into the house. The same goes for the balcony. These building elements allow for a smooth transition between interior spaces and the surrounding nature, as if uniting them.
If you are looking for quality and current projects, completely ready for use, contact the architectural bureau “Svoy Dom” in Moscow. We work for you!
A balcony is one of the architectural elements of a private house, which is not mandatory for implementation. Many believe that a balcony is superfluous in two-story houses, while others are sure that there are many difficulties here. However, with the help of a balcony, you can make your home more interesting and attractive by replacing the terrace with a modest balcony. With the help of this architectural element of the building, you can not only replace large verandas, but also organize cozy corner for outdoor recreation.
Any architectural element or structure has both positive sides, so negative points, the balcony was no exception to the rule. Before you start building a house, you need to develop its design, take into account all the pros and cons, and then decide whether two-storey house with or without balcony.
Positive points:
Now let's talk about the disadvantages:
For private houses, an open balcony is often used - a base plate with some kind of fencing. A similar architectural element is decorative look, Special attention here they pay attention to the style of the balcony and the materials for its construction. The most popular and stylish option– open balcony with wrought iron fencing.
Features of forged fencing:
Overall the main difference open balcony from closed is glazing that protects the architectural element from unfavorable external factors in the form of wind, rain and snow. Thanks to glazing, functionality increases, because here you can relax in both winter and summer, creating an entire living space.
A closed balcony will protect residents from annoying birds or insects, improve sound insulation and enable a true housewife to organize a small winter Garden. Depending on the type of glazing (partial, stained glass, panoramic), you can implement any ideas and design the façade as attractively as possible. 
The appearance of the balcony of a two-story house can be anything, but here it is structural elements are the same for all balconies. Parts required for use:
As already mentioned, it is the base slab that is the main element of the balcony; it is made of wood or reinforced concrete. Wooden base It is lightweight, so it can be used on the facades of any house. Reinforced concrete structure has an impressive weight, so such a balcony can only be installed on durable houses made of stone, brick or blocks. 
Depending on the method of fastening the base plate, balconies are divided into the following categories:
In most cases, the balcony is located at the front of the house façade so that it becomes the central element of the building and has common roof from houses. This option is an ideal solution for small houses, you can relax here both in winter and in summer; if you take out the table and chairs, you can build a small dining area in the fresh air.
An interesting solution would be a triangular-shaped log balcony under the roof of the house. You can position the balcony in such a way that the balcony slab acts as a roof for the veranda or porch. If there are no special requirements, then the balcony can be positioned as your heart desires.
The top cover is not mandatory element balcony, but with its help you can make the space more functional and reliable. Visor – simple design curved shape, protecting the balcony space from wind, rain and snow.
The roof is a more reliable and expensive option; its dimensions should be such that the roof protrudes slightly beyond the load-bearing slab of the balcony and has an inclination angle so that snow does not accumulate on its surface. In general, both options are quite good; only the homeowner can decide which one to use, depending on his financial capabilities.
