A mezzanine is a great way to make the most of the space available in the house and increase its living space, and thus - functionality. However, you should be aware that the mezzanine cannot be built in every building - certain conditions must be met to create it. So what is worth knowing when deciding on a modular house with a mezzanine?
What are the functions of the mezzanine at home?
A house with a mezzanine is a great proposition for people who appreciate unusual and functional architectural solutions. The mezzanine at home can be not only an original element of the arrangement - it can be successfully arranged in at least several ways. Projects of houses with a mezzanine often provide for the creation of a bedroom on it. Thanks to this, you can clearly separate the common living area of the house from the private one, intended only for household members.
Of course, this is not the only option. You can also arrange a guest room or a home study on the mezzanine. An interesting idea is also to arrange a rest room or a playroom for children. A low mezzanine, on the other hand, can be used to arrange a dressing room, pantry or utility room. In other words - by choosing a modern house with a mezzanine, its purpose can be adapted to the needs of your own and other household members.
What is the design of a house with a mezzanine?
The design of the house with a mezzanine is distinguished primarily by the greater height of the room on the lower floor - usually around 4.5 meters. With such a height, it is possible to build a mezzanine, the distance of which from the ceiling is about 2 meters - thanks to this, it can constitute an additional usable space. However, depending on the function of the mezzanine, it may have other minimum dimensions. If, on the other hand, the mezzanine to be used only for sleeping, then a height of about 1.2 meters is usually sufficient.
Therefore, in the designs of houses with a mezzanine, the focus is on the maximum use of space. The arrangement of the space under the ceiling will allow you to increase the living space of the house, and thus its functionality. It is also impossible not to mention that the mezzanine will also be a distinctive architectural element that will give the interior an original character.
Is it worth buying a house with a mezzanine floor?
A one-story house with a mezzanine is a proposition worth considering for people who want to optimally use the available space, thus providing the household members with as much space as possible. The design of a house with a mezzanine can also be a great solution in the case of problematic plots - narrow or small. Thanks to the mezzanine, you can gain additional living space without increasing the built-up area on the property. What's more, if the mezzanine is at least 2 meters high, you can gain a fully functional space for almost any use. In addition, the mezzanine - although it divides the space - allows you to freely maintain contact with other household members staying on different floors.
Does a small modular house with a mezzanine floor make sense?
Modular year-round houses are constantly growing in popularity. However, is it worth choosing a small modular house with a mezzanine? It all depends on the needs and preferences of future residents, but in most cases - absolutely! The reasons why a modular mezzanine house makes sense include:
- possibility of maximum use of the available space,
- possibility of almost any arrangement of additional space - on the mezzanine you can arrange a bedroom, home office, children's playroom or guest room,
- possibility of increasing the living space without the need to increase the building area,
- diversifying the interior arrangement by introducing an original architectural element,
- freedom to stay in touch with household members, even when they are on different floors.
Another advantage of this solution is the fact that modular house designs are becoming more and more diverse. Thanks to this, you can choose a concept tailored both to your own needs and budget. You can choose, among others, small modular houses up to 35 m2, such as CUBEEKO MINI with a usable area of 13.9 m2. A little more space is provided by CUBEEKO MEDIUM "L" / "Z" with a usable area of 28 m2. When choosing the CUBEEKO MEDIUM "L" project, you can choose both the one-story and two-story variants. An interesting option is also the CUBEEKO MAXI "C" project, in which the usable area is 42 m2, although in this case, due to the built-up area of 52.2 m2, it is necessary to obtain a building permit.
What should I know before ordering a mezzanine house?
The house with a mezzanine undoubtedly has a number of advantages. However, before deciding to order such a house, it is worth considering the function of this space - the recommended height of the room depends on it. If it is to provide additional living space, the distance from the stop should be approximately 2 meters. If, on the other hand, the mezzanine is intended for a bedroom, a height of about 1.2 meters will be sufficient.
When choosing a house with a mezzanine, you should also choose the right stairs that will lead to it. They must be solid, safe and comfortable to use, but preferably not take up too much space on the lower floor of the house. The stairs must run smoothly and should be equipped with a handrail and non-slip elements.
A mezzanine is a great solution for people who want to make optimal use of the available space, and at the same time gain an original element of interior design. It will be especially appreciated by owners of small one-story houses, where each additional living space increases the comfort of the household members.
