Loggia: rules of re-planning (Part 2)

February 20th, 2007

Usually, the surfaces of lateral walls and ceiling are sheathed by gypsum cardboard with which can be painted, pasted over with wall-papers or reveted with wooden panels. You may choose both parquet, and a ceramic tile for a floor covering - all this depends on your desire to unite visually the space of the reconstructed loggia with a room. And we advise you to arrange a floor with heating; such procedure is not is not too expensive and will provide comfortable temperature during the year.
Having attached loggia to an apartment, you will receive 5-8 square meters of extra space. Certainly, such compelled expansion of a living space has its lacks. First of all, it is a question of design features concerning the presence of???????? quite decent difference of a floor that can appear rather traumatic for children and older people, and also a portal, formed by the ledges of an old wall and “crosspiece” above the former window. However, according to designers, all these lacks can be turned into advantages by means of every possible drapery, drawings of patterns, creations of decorative columns and racks.
The received space can be used differently. You can arrange the cabinet on the former loggia (the other variant is to combine it with a winter garden), having separated it from a room with sliding panels or a screen. The ex-loggia also will ideally serve as a small exercise room or capacious wardrobe. It can be also turned into a fine bedroom - a lonely alcove for a two; there you may also arrange house cinema or a billiard table. And if it is necessary, you may screen a children’s game zone there. Quite often it occurs so that the former loggia turns into the dining room - for pleasant pastime behind a table, having both a podium, and panoramic windows. If the loggia becomes a part of kitchen, it can be turned into an extravagant bar or mini-cellar. So, everything depends just on your imagination.
