The construction of a combined house with the first floor of stone (options: brick, foam blocks), and the second floor and a wood attacency will optimally combine the advantages of these types of building materials and neutralize their known shortcomings as much as possible. The appearance of such a building will be quite original and, of course, aesthetically attractive. As a finish of the first floor, for example, lining with decorative tiles or plaster, the second floor can be made of a cylinder beam, or from a regular siding, sheathed. On the ground floor, it is recommended to place functional rooms, such as a garage, a sauna with a pool, a gym, a kitchen, bathrooms. On the upper – environmentally friendly, made of a human material favorable for human health, you should place bedrooms, cabinet, living room and children’s rooms. Such zoning by the material will help to combine relatively small financial costs with high operational characteristics of the house and interesting architecture. There are several prejudices from wood to wooden construction. Firstly, it is believed that this material is fire hazardous. Well, the wood of wood will really burn in the event of a fire, but the same thing will happen with the stone. The financial costs of restoring a new building from the surviving stone walls are quite equivalent to the construction of a new wooden cottage. Wood processing with special solutions significantly increases its fire resistance. In addition, property insurance will not really care about this factor. The second aspect – it is believed that the tree is not subject to complex and non -trivial architectural forms. To doubt the veracity of this forces vivid examples of ancient architecture, and the modern works of real masters. As for the decoration of the house, there are several options today: painting the house, processing it with special varnishes, or siding, which gives the building a very relevant look. Wooden houses simply preserve heat perfectly in winter and cool in the summer, in the event of a long absence of them, they do not need to be heated for several days, they do not dive as stone. Wood – material of increased environmental friendliness, does not cause any harm to health.
