Projects of tree houses with a second light. Wooden house with a second light

A country house made of foam blocks with a second light is an architectural solution in which there are no floors above the living room or dining room, which unites several floors in single space... This design trick brings a sense of freedom to a large, airy space with an abundance of daylight that is so lacking in ordinary city apartments.

Features of building a cottage from foam concrete with a second light

• When building cottages from foam blocks, the second light is most often arranged in the daytime zone - in the living room or dining room.
• The second light is used in design in almost any architectural style: modern, gothic, classicism, chalets, etc.
• For maximum daylight, panoramic windows in the plane of the wall, in a bay window or corner panoramic windows are ideal.
• To decorate the interior, you can use large pendant chandeliers descending on chains, multi-level wall lamps and lamps that evenly distribute the light throughout the room at night.
• The design in combination with panoramic windows requires professional design of the heating system and the right choice window systems. Whether or not there is a second light in the house, the total volume of the premises does not change from this, but it is recommended to install additional heating devices for quick heating. The most optimal heating method for such a house is the "warm water floor" system with the additional installation of thermal paths under panoramic windows.

Benefits of a second light

Aerated concrete houses with a second light look European, reminiscent of the palace decoration of ballrooms, luxurious living rooms and large libraries, which are freely visible from the stairs and galleries on the upper floor. At the same time, the windows can be made high and with panoramic glazing, giving the cottage a stylish appearance... Such projects provide several advantages at once:

• Visual space and free air circulation,
• Maximum lighting that allows you to decorate the room with light-loving houseplants,
• Facade aesthetics with the possibility of arranging original windows and stained-glass windows.

The second light is an indispensable luxury

House designs with a second light are becoming more and more popular. Although many still do not know what this "seventh wonder of the world" is. Let's try to figure it out. Every person, at least once in his life, has met rooms in which several floors are combined, that is, there is no overlap between them. These are often found in central post offices, banks, office premises... They are characterized by huge windows covering the entire high wall. If two floors are combined, then the light in the room is twice as large, and hence the name - "second light". At first glance, such an architectural solution has nothing to do with residential buildings but this is only for the first time. Increasingly, private houses began to combine floors. This is usually done in living rooms or dining rooms. Of course, if the house is being built small, then there can be no question of any second light. After removing the overlap, we reduce the efficiency of using the living space. Therefore, the project of a house with a second light can be justified only for big houses... Well, if living space allows, why not. A lot of light and air makes any home unusually beautiful and comfortable. Luxurious living rooms with a second light are unlikely to leave anyone indifferent. Russia is famous not only for compact houses, but also for mansions, and therefore, in its open spaces, projects of houses with a second light are becoming more and more popular.

House projects with a second light - where to start

Design is a responsible thing. There are no trifles here. Only a professional approach of the design organization's employees will allow you to get a high-quality result at the output. Dom4M provides both ready-made projects of houses with a second light, and the opportunity to order an individual project of a house with a second light. A finished project of a house with a second light can be bought directly on the company's website. But first, it is better to consult whether the project is suitable for your site. If necessary, it can be edited, or rather adapted. As a rule, adaptation concerns the foundation, because, depending on the composition of the soil and the proximity of groundwater, the foundation is made of different strengths and depths.

It is at the design stage that all the necessary load calculations are carried out. The project ensures not only the successful completion of the construction, but also the safety of the house itself. In addition, without a project, it is impossible to obtain permission to start construction works nor to put the house into operation.

The importance of home design.

The project of a house with a second light has a very important and responsible object. This is a large window two or more stories high. The size of the window complicates its installation and operation. The frame must be strong and secure. Its task is not only to provide good lighting, but also to keep warm. Windows are the most vulnerable places in terms of heat loss, and even more so with such dimensions. With a poor-quality window or its installation, the house will turn out to be cold, and all the advantages of the second light will turn into a fat minus. In addition, large dimensions increase the weight of the window itself. Special requirements arise also to glass. If a window is not just a floor-to-ceiling window, but one glass wall for the entire facade, then you also need to consider whether such a wall can withstand the load of the roof.

It turns out that starting construction without a project is money and nerves down the drain. The acquisition of the project will more than pay off in the speed and quality of construction. Indeed, due to the lack of a project, it is impossible to avoid the dismantling of individual elements, alterations and flaws, and this all entails an overspending of materials, and hence finances. And such construction will also be delayed in time. Therefore, everything must be done in order, first the project, then construction, and not vice versa.

The second light in the interior means a room in which the window openings are arranged in several rows. The ceiling in such rooms is high, and there is no overlap between the rows of windows. The room turns out to be bright and spacious, but this option cannot be realized in all dwellings. The area of ​​the house must be at least 200 sq. m so that the designer's idea is revealed as much as possible.

From history to modern times

The interiors of the second light were still in the Middle Ages in churches, shrines, government buildings and in the homes of influential persons. In those days, artificial light (candles) was not used so often, but the premises needed it. Therefore, this solution made it possible to solve several issues at once - to make the room brighter and to decorate the facade of the entire structure.

Not today, interiors with a second light are found not only in the buildings listed above, but also in private houses and in city apartments. In the latter case, it can be a penthouse or duplex apartment.

This solution is especially popular in loft-style apartments. In private homes, the range of styles is wider - the interior of a house with a second light can embody the Empire, Baroque, Rococo, Classics, Rustic and similar trends.

Advantages and disadvantages of the second light in the interior

A second indoor light offers the following benefits:

• Fills the room with sunbeams, making it brighter.
• You can observe a beautiful play of light on decoration and interior items.
• Makes the interior and exterior presentable.
• Indoor space is created.
• Suitable for different styles.

Along with the advantages, we want to mention the disadvantages:

• Decreases effective area building.
• It will take longer to warm up the room during the winter.
• Heat loss due to large glazing area.
• Special requirements for heating and ventilation, which must be implemented by specialists, otherwise warm air can accumulate at the top, and people will freeze from below.

Ways to create windows in 2 rows

You can implement interior design with a second light in the following ways:

• Draw up a project of a house with such an architectural solution in advance. This option is the most convenient and suitable.
• Dismantle the existing overlapping ceilings, discarding the room that is on top. The work process will be time consuming and should only be performed by competent professionals.
• Lower the floor. The method is available only in private houses and provides for the installation of steps from the hallway to the living room.

Install two rows of plastic windows and attach horizontal white blinds to them (separately to the lower and upper rows), and hang a light gray translucent curtain on the sides along the entire length.

• The interior of the second light in the house has good acoustics. Therefore, you can put a grand piano or other musical instrument in it. You can also set up a home theater for watching movies in the company of loved ones.
• Good artificial lighting is required in the dark. Hang a massive center chandelier with a variety of lamps from the ceiling to match your style. Pendant lamps on chains, large floor lamps and table lamps are also advisable.
• Choose the tulle and curtains in advance - it can be massive curtains, drapery, or just light and airy tulle. You can also use vertical or horizontal blinds.
• The curtains will look spectacular along the entire length of the glazing.
• To reduce heat loss during cold periods, the top row of windows can be made smaller.
• A long shelf is sometimes made between the upper and lower row of windows for storing decorative items. It can be both along the entire perimeter of the room, and along one wall.
• The fireplace will warm the hall on a cold winter evening. Since the room is large, the fireplace should not be small either. It can be finished with tiles or natural stone, and a sofa area can be arranged next to it.
• The pieces of furniture should be larger than in ordinary rooms. On one of the walls, you can make bookshelves up to the ceiling. To reach them, special folding ladders are used.

Or panoramic glazing, you should pay attention to the projects of houses with a second light, developed by our company. This architectural technique "migrated" to private construction from palaces, theater halls, public buildings.

Its essence lies in combining parts of the 1st and 2nd (and sometimes 3rd) floors into a single space due to the absence of interfloor overlaps. sunlight, penetrating from the windows of the walls, the attic gives the high room a special color, monumentality, gives rise to a feeling of spaciousness. To enhance the effect, stained glass inserts are often used.

Features of a cottage with a second light

Choosing a house with an overhead light, you need to understand that this will require a rather complex, professionally calculated project. The interior layout should take into account:

• that the useful area of ​​the building is reduced, since part of the ceiling is missing;
• good insulation of the roof is necessary so that the warm air rising up does not "evaporate";
• engineering system heating often provides for the arrangement of a "warm floor";
• the choice of double-glazed windows is based on the calculation of the required parameters to create a comfortable microclimate;
• thermal convectors are positioned to maximize the use of electrical and natural energy.

The planning solution can be different. In a two-story building, large windows are usually provided - from floor to ceiling, illuminating the entire room at the same time. Sometimes the emphasis is on roof glazing, especially if they want to place a winter garden there. Very often, a large balcony is built upstairs, encircling a gallery - they offer a view of the living room and the surrounding landscape
