The choice between a two -story and a house with an attic is a separate issue, but it is worth first to analyze the pros and cons of both decisions, and only after that make a decision. A two -story house does not require large investments in the ceiling, which, in the case of a building with an attic, should be stronger. Therefore, in the second case, financial costs will be greater. When it comes to the attic staircase, as a rule, more complicated, and this is additional money. In a two -story house, as a rule, straight stairs are installed. In the case of installing windows in a house with an attic, an area requires insulation in the cold months. In turn, in a two -story house we are dealing only with a larger roof surface. One -story house with an attic fits better into the architecture of the landscape, as below. In such a house, the attic windows and balconies have more meaning. In relation to the interior, the house with the attic is more interesting. On the ground floor, the space creates more opportunities. In it you can freely use partitions, as well as install large plants in large pots or other decorative elements. The possibility of organizing space is more limited, in two -story houses. One -story house is the best option when there are people with disabilities or the elderly. The attic is a cozy place – there are few of them, with a useful area of the house, contributes to rest, so the bedrooms are often arranged there. A cabinet or rest room is also suitable, where you can safely read a book or listen to music. A house without an attic will not provide such a “oasis of calm”.
