Combined houses 1st floor stone 2nd floor wood. Combined houses made of stone and wood

A private, beautiful spacious house, built by oneself, attracts many. But, it's one thing to dream of your own home, and it's completely different to build a building from the foundation to the roof. Today, residential buildings made of stone and wood are very popular.

The chalet style is gaining momentum and becoming a fashionable trend in construction. Designers offer a variety of projects for combined houses related to the elite, middle and economy class. In most cases, future owners of private housing are interested in inexpensive projects of combined houses made of stone and wood.

In addition to the low cost, combined chalet houses made of stone and wood attract with a lot of advantages. Among these, it should be noted:

• Structural durability.
• High level of wear resistance, strength.
• Fire safety.

Plus, wood structures are distinguished by comfort and heat retention. And in combination with brickwork, such a structure looks beautiful, soundly. So that the used materials are not wasted, the masters recommend to think in advance in which version they will be used. The most popular is the project of a combined chalet-style house.

Not good choices

Projects of combined houses are different. Reviews of the masters say that not all of them are successful. For example, the option in which a brick structure is first built, and then lined with wood clapboard, can ultimately lead to damage to materials. Let's not forget that brick and wood have different coefficients of thermal expansion. If the brickwork is veneered with wood correctly, then a sufficient distance must be left between the materials. But over time, insects and rodents can start in this space.

The opposite option is also possible, in which a wooden structure is faced with brick. But from the rearrangement of the sequence of materials used, the essence does not change. Between the layers of materials, mold, fungus, and bark beetles can form.

Best projects

Reviews about turnkey combined houses made of stone and wood claim that the most optimal combination of materials is floor-by-floor, as shown in the photo. For example, a project of such a structure might look like this:

• The first floor is a brick building with utility rooms - a kitchen, a dining room, a boiler room, a guest room with a fireplace.
• The second floor is wooden. There is a bedroom, a nursery, guest rooms. The gentle aroma of wood will promote relaxation and peace.

Reviews of the masters claim that in order to create an ideal combined house project, it is necessary to take into account the requirements and wishes of the customer. In any case, the master must warn the future owner that it is better to place engineering communications on the first floor. Considering the lightness of wood, it is not necessary to build the first floor from this material. The supporting walls must be made of stone so that the house as a whole is strong and reliable.

Variations

The combined economy class turnkey stone-wood house can be built from a concrete monolithic foundation, ceramic bricks and pine wood. Since the house is two-story, stairs inside the building are a must.

An excellent choice is wooden stairs inside the house and monolithic stairs outside. A magnificent addition to the building is the attic on the second floor, which has a decorative finish similar in color to the walls of the first floor.

Economy class projects of combined houses made of stone and wood in the style of a chalet must include a spacious terrace. This element of the structure is a distinctive feature of such housing. Another essential element of a successful chalet-style project is the presence of a flat roof with a wide wingspan. Thanks to this solution, the wood part of the structure is protected from moisture and precipitation.

During the construction of a combined house, the lower floor is made using stone, and the upper one is constructed from wood. This design makes it possible to fully realize all the positive aspects of the selected materials and avoid the appearance of their negative features.

Service life

The stone is used due to the fact that it is very durable, has a long service life, does not rot, and also does not begin to deteriorate from the influence of water and moisture. It is worth noting that many people are often not comfortable in stone buildings. Moving from an apartment outside the city, I want to feel more comfort. It is a little more difficult to heat a stone structure than a wooden one, but the reliability of the structure fully compensates for this shortcoming.

The tree, in turn, has a positive effect on the atmosphere inside, making the cottage more comfortable and warm, and also perfectly regulates the humidity in the room. A wooden house creates a more emotional and personal feeling of a home than typical high-rise buildings with neighbors from all sides. Some people are intimidated by the fact that wood is a great burning material, and is also afraid of exposure to moisture, fungi, small rodents or termites, but with modern technology, all these problems have long been solved.

Houses made of stone and wood perfectly combine such an original base and upper floors, which makes it possible to eliminate two birds with one stone, dividing the functionality of wood and stone in such a way as to get the advantages of each material. Such a structure also has a very non-standard, stylish and original appearance, which its owners will not fail to like.

Where to put wooden structures, and where brick

You need to build an inexpensive combined house correctly. The first floor of the building is made using brickwork. The most effective and successful solution would be the arrangement of insulation with the method of a ventilated facade. Aerated concrete blocks can also be used. Thus, on the first floor it is worth installing the most “flammable” rooms, such as a kitchen, a hall with a fireplace, a sauna, and a place for cars.

The attic floor is being built using wood. Most often, logs, glued or profiled timber, unplaned timber with finishing and insulation are used. From above, the wood is securely covered by large roof awnings, and it is a whole floor away from the damp earth. Thanks to special protective coatings, such wood can last a very long time without spoiling or aging. Therefore, on this floor, with greater comfort and better ecology, it is worth placing living quarters.

With great responsibility, it is necessary to approach the choice of decoration inside the house, so that the stone and wooden parts of the house blend harmoniously with each other. However, you should not create a monotonous interior, it is better to emphasize the advantages of each of the materials. Such buildings inside are equipped in the “country” style, which will effectively emphasize the advantages of materials, as well as natural forms.

How to build a combined house inexpensively

The price of building a house depends on:

• materials that you decide to choose for construction;
• your design requirements;
• site location;
• building area.

By choosing high-quality and reliable performers, you can build a real dream cottage!

A combined country house is always an attractive building that has been popular for many years. For the first time, such buildings began to appear in the Middle Ages in the Alps, they were erected by shepherds during wintering. Gradually, they began to gain popularity throughout Europe, until they reached our country. The "chalet" style allows designers to show all their creativity and imagination. For example, the upper floor can be decorated in a medieval style.

Advantages of combined houses

A combined house is a harmonious symbiosis of the solidity and aristocracy of stone with the natural warmth of wood, which provides the exterior of the housing with a wonderful appearance, and the interior with an inimitable atmosphere saturated with coziness and comfort. However, this is not all, with which these buildings have earned an excellent reputation and secured wide popularity.

The main advantages of such houses include the following:

• Saving. From brick (sometimes from clay adobe, river shell rock or cinder blocks), only the first floor is built, and the second is made of wood. Such an architectural solution provides a relatively low weight of the structure and, as a result, no need for a very expensive foundation. Moreover, the cost of building a second floor also using stone is usually much higher than the cost of using wood materials.
• High fire safety. It is obvious that wood is a combustible material, however, the construction of the first floor, where the kitchen, fireplace, boiler room is usually located, from stone significantly reduces the risk of fire, and if necessary, it simplifies the localization of the hearth.
• Durability. The brick has an extremely high resistance to destruction under the influence of moisture and is characterized by mechanical strength. In turn, timber and wood composites manufactured at Vitoslavitsa are also highly resistant to negative environmental influences and mechanical stress, but reducing the frequency and intensity of such impacts only increases the service life of the house.
• All season comfort. Combined houses made of stone and wood retain heat well. At the same time, the latter material contributes to the stabilization of indoor humidity, thanks to which a comfortable microclimate is achieved in the premises.

Construction stages

If you do not take into account the development of the project, then the construction of any capital building begins precisely with the construction of the foundation. In this case, the best options are recessed tape and slab.

• The beginning of the construction of walls made of stone (as mentioned above, materials such as brick, clay adobe, river shell rock, cinder block can be used);
• Installation of floor coverings;
• Completion of the construction of stone walls;
• Installation of wall coverings;
• Assembling the second floor (using a rounded log, glued or profiled timber);
• Installation of the supporting structure of the roof;
• Arrangement of thermal, steam and waterproofing, as well as installation of roof ventilation;
• Roofing;
• Summing up engineering networks and systems;
• Exterior and interior decoration of the house.

Austrian chalet style in Russian cottage villages

The construction technology of combined houses consists in laying the walls of the first floor of stone and using wood to assemble the second floor. The common name of the buildings is chalets. The word came from Austria: such buildings were often erected in the mountains.

GOOD WOOD builds combined houses from glued laminated timber of its own production and Porotherm porous ceramic blocks. These are safe and durable materials that can be used without additional insulation.

Why Combination Homes Are So Popular

Chalet is a hit of cottage settlements. Over the past 3-5 years, the popularity of combined projects has been steadily growing: several hundred families already live in a typical KD-225, which has become a real bestseller among GOOD WOOD offers.

Advantages of combined houses:

1. Non-standard appearance. Agree, against the background of completely brick and wooden buildings, the chalets look very advantageous.
2. There are ready-made projects and many built objects according to individual drawings. It is easier for the customer to choose a suitable house and immediately determine the price of construction.
3. Reliable stable construction. It will suit anyone who doubts the strength of wooden housing construction.

1. The combination of two materials for families who have not come to a consensus on what to build a house from. The solution will suit both brick (ceramic blocks) supporters and wood lovers.
2. Separation into residential and common areas. The first (stone) floor is reserved for the living room, kitchen, boiler room, storerooms. On the second (wooden) bedrooms and children's rooms are equipped.

Ready-made projects of combined houses

The catalog contains 3 finished projects: KD-225, KD-202 and a new development of our partners (architectural bureau "Carlson and K") - cottage K-1. For all typical cottages, detailed equipment is provided - with materials, a description of construction technology and other details. For KD-225 and KD-202, you can even calculate the monthly cost of heating in advance.

The combination of materials is a favorite pastime of designers; in capital construction it is used to solve important practical problems. A competent combination of the physical qualities of stone and wood in the load-bearing walls of the building gives the developer a tangible gain in cost and comfort.

It is these two factors that have made houses made of combined materials popular and widespread in modern suburban construction.

What combinations are reasonable and permissible in the construction of such a structure?

Most often, stone is chosen for the walls of the first floor (brick, monolithic concrete, aerated concrete or expanded clay blocks). The second floor is built from round logs or glued beams.

It should be noted that combinations of different wall materials can also affect the exterior finish. A combined house allows you to use any options for facade decoration: the brick walls of the first floor can be finished with a blockhouse, insulated using the “ventilated facade” technology.

The second frame floor can be ennobled with decorative plaster or stone tiles. As an example, we suggest you consider the photo below.

Looking at such a house, you will not be able to unequivocally answer the question of what its load-bearing walls are built from. Although the combined technology of building walls is also used here. The first floor of this building is brick, lined with siding. The second is a wooden frame finished with ceramic tiles.

Constructive options for combined houses

Despite the variety of facade decor, the construction of combined houses must comply with the main principle: 1st floor stone 2nd floor wood. It provides the building with the necessary strength and creates conditions for comfortable living on the second floor. Another problem solved by the combination of materials is to reduce the labor intensity and cost of construction.

Those who do not want to spend extra money on exterior decoration act wisely. The combination of stone and wood is optimal not only from constructive considerations, but also from the standpoint of aesthetics. Therefore, do not hide behind the finish what looks perfect in itself.

An example is a mansion built in a deliberately rough combination of natural stone and logs. It fully complies with the canons of country style.

From the harsh mountainous terrain, it leads its pedigree, invented by alpine shepherds. It also used the idea of ​​combining durable stone and warm wood.

Life in the mountains requires maximum reliability and functionality. Therefore, the first level of the chalet is always built from solid rock, which is not afraid of snow blockages, rockfalls and water. The second floor is designed to create comfort and coziness. For these purposes, there is no better material than natural wood.

The "generic sign" of all buildings built in the chalet style is wide roof overhangs that protect the walls from heavy rains and melting snowdrifts.

Modern combined houses made of stone and wood are extremely diverse, since the choice of wall materials is very wide. If you are not satisfied with a torn stone or a flat limestone "flagstone", then build the first floor from. They are strong enough and at the same time as warm as natural wood.

When preparing for construction, do not forget that houses made of foam blocks and wood require a reliable connection between the first and second floors. Cellular concrete is a rather fragile material. Therefore, it will not hold the steel anchors that fix the second level support beam.

A competent solution for such a design is pouring a monolithic reinforced concrete belt along the foam block walls. It increases the spatial rigidity of the building and allows you to securely fix the anchor bolts.

The appearance of the foam block wall is not very expressive. Therefore, it is better to sew it up with a blockhouse or siding, laying a vapor barrier and a layer of mineral wool insulation behind the facade cladding.

For the combined construction of a cottage, you can use. They are stronger than foam concrete, not so fragile and very warm. Finishing wood concrete walls is not laborious, since any decorative plaster adheres perfectly to them.

The second floor can be built from planed timber. This material retains heat well in a residential floor and does not require finishing cladding.

If you need a three-level combined house of brick and timber, then build it according to this scheme: the basement technical floor is monolithic reinforced concrete, the first level is a brick, the second is a frame or log house.

Speaking about the frame version of the walls of the second floor, we note that it will not only save you money, but also allow you to flexibly change the internal layout, adapting it to family needs.

You can hide the frame of the second floor behind the finish. Another interesting option is to specifically highlight it, turning it into an element of facade decor. Fachwerk is best suited for this - an old frame system in which posts, beams and cross braces open onto the facade.

A serious problem of all cottages is dampness on the first floor. The combined house solves it simply and functionally. The lower floor is reserved for utility rooms. Here you can equip a boiler room, a bathhouse, a workshop and a garage. Bedrooms, bathrooms, dressing rooms, playrooms and a kitchen are located on the second, drier floor.

A combined house and a combined facade are not the same thing!

As we have already said, a combination of different wall materials is the main feature of a combined building. In contrast, the combined facade of the house can be used on any residential building.

For example, having built a cottage from insulated sandwich panels, you can easily “disguise” it as a stone one. To do this, you can use ceramic tiles, sandstone, porcelain stoneware or rustic plaster. If ordinary, rather than face bricks are used for laying walls, then a “combi-facade” will also be appropriate.

The photo shows a house built of brick and timber. Obviously, the nondescript brickwork will need additional finishing. It does not have to be decorated "under the stone." It is enough to fill the blockhouse along the guides and your house will be completely “wooden”. Another option is a combination of semicircular false logs on the first floor and glued beams on the second.

Pros and cons of the combination idea

Having noted the main advantages of combined buildings: economy, planning flexibility, aesthetics and functionality, we will point out the disadvantages of such buildings.

The main one is the different time of "life" of stone and wood.. In rocks, it reaches 150 years. The tree, at best, will last half a century. For a light frame and shield walls, this period will be even less. Therefore, the moment will inevitably come when the first stone floor is still quite strong and reliable, and the walls of the second are already in need of repair.

Since the combined country houses in Russia are still quite young, there is no negative experience of different aging rates of wall materials. Therefore, the reviews of their owners are mostly positive.

Summing up, we advise everyone who has decided to build a combined cottage not to forget about the different service life of the first and second floors. To extend the life of the walls, buy well-dried and antiseptic wood, and trust the assembly of the frame to experienced professionals, not shabashniki.

For a wooden frame, a well-assembled drainage system is required to prevent moisture from entering the tree. In addition, at the construction stage, constant quality control of sealing of all cross sections of wooden posts and beams is required.

Dreaming of building a country house, but reached a dead end when choosing a building material. No wonder. There are people who appreciate the stone for its strength, monumentality. Someone chooses wood for environmental friendliness, speed of construction, natural color and wood pattern. There are people who are equally related to both materials. The solution is quite simple - to consider projects of combined brick and timber houses. The problem of choice will disappear, it will be possible to combine two elements under one roof.

Any design cannot be perfect. There will always be pros and cons of individual houses and materials used for construction. Combined projects have their own characteristics. Let's talk about the advantages of sharing timber and bricks.

Reliability of the combined house

Any building can be reliable if all important points are taken into account during construction. The combined project provides for greater reliability of the house. They build according to this principle mainly two-story cottages. Basement, first floors are made of brick. This provides structural strength, prolongs the life of the house. Brick is not afraid of fire, water, strong wind, sunlight. Provided that the foundation is laid correctly, the elements will not lead the brick box, will not destroy it. The second floor is better to make from a bar. There are several variations of the beam:

• not profiled;
• profiled;
• glued.

Before choosing a timber, read the quality characteristics of each, so as not to be mistaken. Mostly profiled and glued beams are used for felling. Wood has different properties, which can be extended by building the bottom of a brick box. A reliable brick base will allow you to resist a light timber box under any circumstances. For example, during a flood, it often floods a dwelling to roof level, if the house is without a superstructure. A wooden structure rarely withstands a large flow of water and its influence:

• the log is difficult to dry;
• the box is deformed or, in general, falls apart;
• Requires a major overhaul or installation of a new frame.

When building a building according to a combined project, the following consequences can be avoided:

• the lower floor of brick is not subject to destruction;
• enough to dry the walls, foundation;
• do the interior work.
• the second floor from a bar will not suffer from water.

There can be many such situations, we will not list them.

Combination home comfort

The possibility of placing common rooms on the ground floor:

• kitchens;
• bathroom;
• living room;
• toilet
• boiler room.

Brick withstands drops:

• temperatures;
• humidity;
• fumes from cooking.

The tree does not behave so perfectly. Therefore, a private zone is placed on the second floor. In the recreation area, sleeping timber retains its natural properties:

• breathes;
• passes moisture;
• retains heat;
• creates a comfortable microclimate.

This allows you to create comfortable conditions for residents. The first brick floor is set up for an active life, the second floor made of timber helps to relax, enjoy the tranquility, natural wall decor.

Combined home safety

Fire safety concerns not only residents of multi-apartment buildings, but also an individual mansion. This is no coincidence. How much equipment, engineering structures are provided in the cottage for a full-fledged stay. Gas and electrical appliances carry a fire hazard. Brick is resistant to fire. Its use in the construction of the first floor is highly advisable due to the location of the ignition sites. The brick will not allow the fire to spread quickly. The second floor from a bar, with a timely reaction, will not be exposed to fire.

The speed of the construction of the box according to the combined project

If there is no time to wait, combined housing projects will come to the rescue. An attic made of glued or profiled chamber-drying lumber is assembled quickly:

• poured the foundation;
• allowed to dry;
• laid out a brick wall;
• assembled the second lightweight floor from timber;
• a wooden box looks aesthetically pleasing even without finishing;
• start communications;
• move to live on the second floor of a combined building.

The first floor needs more time to finish. So let's deal with it last, living on the second floor.

Price of combined projects

I want to save money on construction. Projects of combined houses allow you to do this. Brick, its masonry, mortar will cost the developer a decent amount. We'll have to build a house on one floor. It is cheaper to install a log house from a bar if you do the installation yourself. It is not difficult to do this from profiled or glued timber. Here's your savings. House at an affordable price. The project of a combined frame made of bricks and glued laminated timber is more expensive, but the properties of profiled timber are no worse. Choose for yourself what to make the second floor.

The disadvantages of combined projects include the following:

1. Exterior view of the façade. The combined house does not have a specific style design. The rough simplicity of brick is the natural look of timber. It can be fixed. There are facade finishing elements. They will give a finished look to the walls.
2. Search for generalist builders for a combined project.
3. It is necessary to correctly calculate the transitions of the walls from the first to the second floor, to perform their installation.

Otherwise, the shortcomings may be of a personal nature based on the requirements of the owner of the combined housing.

Varieties of houses according to the combined project

Houses made of brick and timber are different modifications.

1. Often projects are represented by two-story houses. You can build structures of greater height. It all depends on the imagination of the client, his capabilities.
2. There are single-story projects - alteration of an existing house. Not so long ago, hand-cut logs were used to build an individual house. The box has retained its appearance and strength, but it is required to increase square meters. It is not always possible to build a second floor on a wooden box due to the foundation or soil. Then a project is created to expand the house at the level of the log house:

• Attached toilet, shower room, new kitchen. Brick is more suitable for this. It turns out the project of a combined house of timber and brick in one level.
• Sometimes a log house is covered with bricks in one layer. Environmental friendliness, comfort, room climate are preserved, and functions are expanded.

Projects of combined brick and timber houses are welcome:

• If the soil does not allow the construction of a two-story brick house. The load is large, the foundation may burst and cause deformations, distortions.
• The second floor of glued or profiled timber will reduce the load.
• You can save on strengthening the foundation for a heavy house. There will be no need to raise the soil layer to a sufficient height.

The combined project will make the dream of a two-story cottage accessible. For decisiveness, watch a video clip about houses made of bricks and timber:

Consider a photo of projects of combined houses made of brick and timber: A house built of brick and timber looks unique. In recent years, there has been a demand for projects. Abroad combined housing is very popular. A well-known example is the "chalet" house or buildings that combined the first floor of brick and the frame second tier. Projects of combined houses made of brick and timber deserve attention. Having studied the features of the designs, you can safely proceed to the creation and implementation of your own version.
