What is a Cabin With a Loft?
The design possibilities of a cabin with a loft are endless. Located on top of the stairs, a cabin loft overlooks the great room and has a windowed entrance. It can be used for almost any purpose, and varies in size and style depending on the cabin's design and layout. Here are some ways to use the loft. Depending on your needs and the layout of your home, it can serve as a bedroom, office, playroom, or even a gym!
Cantilevered loft vs end loft
There are many benefits of both cantilevered and end loft designs in a cabin. Cantilevered lofts have a wider clear span than end-loft designs. In addition to their versatility, end-loft designs can also save money by using less material. And if you're planning to install windows in your cabin, a cantilevered loft is the way to go.
The major drawback of a cantilevered loft is that you have to have rigid floor joists and posts to support the floor of the loft. The two posts can obstruct the floor plan of the cabin. A suspended loft is another option, which uses an extra cabin wall for support. This style is more appealing because of its open feel and spacious feel. But it also requires more construction time and money.
Designing a log home with a loft
If you're planning to build a log home, you'll need to think about several factors before you begin. First, think about the basic design of the log home. This will help you make a decision on more specific questions. A loft is a great option if you're looking to create an open and airy space. Moreover, it can give you a great sense of accomplishment, as it's a great way to show off your skills as a designer.
Another important aspect of the design process is to consider how people will use the house. Do you intend to use it every day? If so, do you plan to invite family and friends to visit? Will you host a lot of parties? What type of events will take place in your home? Will you have many family gatherings? Or, will you use the log home for business? The type of loft you choose will affect the design of the log home.
Cost of building a log home with a loft
Depending on the design, log homes can cost anywhere from $35,000 to $60,000 to build. Most log home manufacturers have their own pricing for their finished homes, so you should be able to get an accurate estimate of the total cost by comparing different log packages. Prices also vary by style. While a simple four corner design can save you money, more elaborate designs can be costly, as the materials and labor required for these projects can add up quickly.
The cost of building a log home with a floor plan can be estimated by adding the square footage to the cost per square foot. While the square footage of a log home will be similar, the amount spent on the materials will vary. You will also need to factor in the cost of land preparation, which involves leveling the ground and pouring a concrete foundation. A pylon structure is another cost that will be included in the price.
