For database projects, you need to install a version of Visual Studio that supports it - in your case, it looks like you ran the SSDT-BI offline installer that installs the SSIS, SSAS, and SSRS templates. This does not include database project templates. You need to install one of the supported versions of VS - there are 2 Express versions (Express for Web and Express for Windows Desktop) and 3 paid versions (Premium, Pro, Ultimate). Here's a quote from SSDT's post explaining this:
Visual Studio 2013 - VS 2013 now has SQL Server instrumentation built in and shipped as part of the core product. Database designs, SQL tools (such as schema comparison and data mapping) and online experiences via SSOX are included in the RTM version. We have full project and SSOX support in VS Express for Web and Express for Windows Desktop, so we discontinued our standalone integrated shell offering. We have a component update feed that VS Update will use to push notifications to users. To manually check for updates, go to Tools> Extensions and Updates ... to open a dialog box. We will continue to post announcements on our blog and forum about the release's release and what's included in this update.
