Do you dream of building Vacation home, but reached a dead end when choosing a building material. No wonder. There are people who value stone for its strength and monumentality. Some people choose wood for its environmental friendliness, speed of construction, natural color and wood pattern. There are people who have the same attitude towards both materials. The solution is quite simple - consider projects combined houses made of brick and timber. The problem of choice will disappear, and it will be possible to unite two elements under one roof.
Any design cannot be perfect. There will always be pros and cons individual houses and materials used for construction. It has its own characteristics combined projects. Let's talk about the advantages of using timber and brick together.
Reliability of a combined house
Any building can be reliable if everything is taken into account during construction important points. The combined project provides greater reliability of the house. Mostly two-story cottages are built according to this principle. The ground floor and first floors are made of brick. This ensures structural strength and prolongs the life of the house. Brick is not afraid of fire, water, strong wind, sun rays. Provided the foundation is laid correctly, the brick box will not move or be destroyed by the elements. It is better to make the second floor from timber. There are several variations of timber:
- not profiled;
- profiled;
- glued.
Before choosing a timber, familiarize yourself with the quality characteristics of each so as not to make a mistake. They mainly use profiled and laminated timber for log houses. Wood has different properties, which can be extended by constructing the lower part of the brick box. A reliable brick base will allow the light to stand lumber box under any circumstances. For example, during a flood it often floods a home to the level of the roof if the house does not have a superstructure. Wooden structure rarely withstands large flows of water and its influence:
- the log is difficult to dry;
- the box is deformed or, in general, falls apart;
- required major renovation or installation of a new log house.
When constructing a building according to a combined project, the following consequences can be avoided:
- the lower floor is made of brick and is not subject to destruction;
- it is enough to dry the walls and foundation;
- perform interior finishing.
- the second floor made of timber will not be damaged by water.
There can be many such situations; we will not list them.
Comfort of a combined house
Possibility of placing common rooms on the ground floor:
- kitchens;
- bathroom;
- living room;
- toilet;
- boiler room
Brick can withstand changes:
- temperatures;
- humidity;
- fumes from cooking.
The tree does not behave so flawlessly. Therefore, a private area is placed on the second floor. In the rest and sleep areas, the timber retains its natural properties:
- breathes;
- allows moisture to pass through;
- keeps warm;
- creates a comfortable microclimate.
This allows you to create comfortable conditions to residents. First brick floor set to active life, the second floor made of timber helps you relax, enjoy the tranquility and natural decor of the walls.
Combination house safety
Fire safety concerns not only residents of apartment buildings, but also individual mansions. This is no coincidence. How much equipment engineering structures provided in the cottage for a full stay. Gas, electrical devices pose a fire hazard. Brick is resistant to fire. Its use in the construction of the first floor is very advisable due to the location of fire sites. The brick will prevent the fire from spreading quickly. The second floor made of timber, with a timely response, will not be exposed to fire.
Speed of box construction for a combined project
If you don’t have time to wait long, combined housing projects will come to the rescue. An attic made from kiln-dried laminated or profiled timber can be assembled quickly:
- poured the foundation;
- given the opportunity to dry out;
- laid out a brick wall;
- assembled the second lightweight floor from timber;
- the wooden box looks aesthetically pleasing even without finishing;
- establish communications;
- moving to live on the second floor of a combined building.
The first floor requires more time to finish. So we’ll deal with it last, living on the second floor.
Price of combined projects
I would like to save money during construction. Combined house projects allow you to do this. The brick, its masonry, and mortar will cost the developer a decent amount. We will have to build a house on one floor. It is cheaper to install a log house from timber if you do the installation yourself. This is easy to do from profiled or laminated timber. Here's the savings for you. House by affordable price. The project of a combined frame made of brick and laminated timber is more expensive, but the properties of profiled timber are no worse. Choose for yourself what to make the second floor from.
The disadvantages of combined projects include the following:
- Exterior view of the facade. The combined house has no specific styling. The rough simplicity of brick - natural look timber. It can be fixed. There are façade finishing elements. They will give a finished look to the walls.
- Search for generalist builders for a combined project.
- It is necessary to correctly calculate the transitions of walls from the first to the second floor and install them.
Otherwise, the shortcomings may be of a personal nature based on the requirements of the owner of the combined housing.
Types of houses according to a combined project
Houses made of brick and timber are of different modifications.
- Often projects are presented with two-story houses. It is possible to build structures of greater height. It all depends on the client’s imagination and capabilities.
- There are one-story projects - remodeling existing house. Not so long ago, logs were used to build an individual house manual cutting. The box has retained its appearance and strength, but needs to be enlarged square meters. On wooden box It is not always possible to build a second floor due to the foundation or soil. Then a project is created to expand the house at the log house level:
- Adding a toilet, shower, new kitchen. Brick is more suitable for this. The result is a project for a combined house made of timber and brick on one level.
- Sometimes log house covered with bricks in one layer. Environmental friendliness, comfort, room climate is maintained, and functions are expanded.
Projects of combined houses made of brick and timber are welcome:
- If the soil does not allow the construction two-storey house made of brick. The load is large, the foundation can burst and cause deformations and distortions.
- A second floor made 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 affordable dream about a two-story cottage. To be decisive, watch a video about houses made of brick and timber:
Let's look at photos of projects of combined houses made of brick and timber: A house built of brick and timber looks unique. IN last years there was a demand for projects. Combined housing is very popular abroad. A well-known example is the “chalet” house or buildings that combine the first floor of brick and frame second tier. Projects of combined houses made of brick and timber deserve attention. Having studied the design features, you can safely begin to create and implement your own version.

There are several options on how to save money on building a house. One of them is to choose combined houses made of stone and wood - the projects and prices of which are presented on this page. When properly designed, such buildings are distinguished not only by their attractive appearance, but also by excellent technical and operational characteristics.
Features of combined buildings
People have been solving the problem of how to build inexpensive, but at the same time durable houses from scrap materials for a long time. For combined construction house projects primarily appeared in the foothills, where there was a sufficient amount of stone and forest. The design provided for a reliable stone first (and, if necessary, ground floor) floor, on which utility rooms were located, and for living rooms an attic or second floor was built from wood.
Today it is not necessary to build with stone. Among others, on this page you can choose, for example, projects of combined houses and cottages made of brick and wood. No less popular are options for constructing the first floor from foam or gas blocks, cinder blocks and similar materials.
It is strongly recommended to entrust the construction of such a house to specialists, because for the construction of turnkey combined houses, projects must take into account the compatibility of materials - the mutual impact of wood and stone on each other and on humans.
Saving on foundation
In addition to the obvious savings on stone for the second floor, house designs made from combined materials also mean a reduced load on the foundation. Relevant for unstable soils, it is not necessary to make it thick monolithic slab or too deep strip foundation.
In fact, the thickness of the foundation must be sufficient for one-story house, but 2 floors are being built on it.
By the way, most of these houses are two-story or have a residential attic. But, if necessary, on this page you can select and order turnkey one-story combined houses - projects and prices, number of floors and the presence of an attic can be filtered in the settings.
Stylistics of combined houses
Initially, the exterior of buildings was predominantly made in Scandinavian style, but now many buyers and architects prefer modernism or a combination of styles. As a result, on this page you will find a variety of stylistic directions, according to which combined houses are designed. Projects and prices standard houses are already designed taking into account various requests, and if necessary, you can always order an individual design.
Combined turnkey house
According to the law, you cannot build without preliminary design, which means that in any case you will need to buy a combined house project. You can save on this item of the estimate if you order the construction of a turnkey house.
In simple words, this service assumes that all issues that arise during the construction of a house are resolved by the construction company, and you only need to select a project. The advantage here is that many construction companies when ordering turnkey construction, we provide standard project free, and some even offer custom design. But the choice is yours anyway.
Austrian style chalets in Russian cottage villages
The technology for building combined houses consists of laying the walls of the first floor from stone and using wood to assemble the second floor. The general 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 laminated timber own production and porous ceramic blocks Porotherm. These are safe and durable materials that can be used without additional insulation.
Why are combined houses so popular?
Chalets are a hit in cottage villages. Over the past 3-5 years, the popularity of combined projects has been steadily growing: several hundred families are already living in a standard KD-225, which has become a real bestseller among GOOD WOOD offerings.
Advantages of combined houses:
- Non-standard appearance. Agree, against the backdrop of completely brick and wooden buildings The chalets look very advantageous.
- There are ready-made projects and many objects built according to individual drawings. It is easier for the customer to choose a suitable house and immediately determine the price of construction.
- Reliable stable design. It will suit anyone who doubts the strength of wooden housing construction.
- Combining two materials for families who have not yet come to a consensus on what to build a house from. The solution will suit both brick (ceramic block) supporters and wood lovers.
- Division into residential and common areas. The first (stone) floor is reserved for the living room, kitchen, boiler room, and storage rooms. The second (wooden) floor is used for bedrooms and children's rooms.
Ready-made projects of combined houses
The catalog contains 3 ready-made projects: KD-225, KD-202 and a new development of our partners (architectural bureau "Carlson and K") - cottage K-1. For all standard cottages, a detailed package is provided - with materials, a description of construction technology and other details. For KD-225 and KD-202, you can even calculate the monthly heating cost in advance.
A combined house is a building in which construction was carried out using different materials- V load-bearing structures or in finishing. The construction of such cottages for housing has been practiced since ancient times, an example of which is the traditional Scandinavian chalet with a ground floor made of stone and wooden attic. The Bronze Horseman company offers modern options construction of turnkey combined houses - projects for implementation in suburban developments in Moscow, St. Petersburg and regions of Russia.
Types of combined houses
Every construction material has its pros and cons. Stone is strong but heavy, wood is lighter and more favorable for humans, but susceptible to rotting, etc. Building a house from different types materials aims to make the most advantageous use of the advantages and minimize the disadvantages of each of them. IN modern architecture combination is also used to give the building a unique appearance, used in the implementation of original design ideas.
Taking into account all types of combinations and their features, 3 types of combined house construction projects can be distinguished:
- Combining different materials of load-bearing and enclosing structures (for example: the basement and first floor are made of brick, and attic floor based frame technologies covered with cladding boards);
- The so-called “conditionally combined” buildings, in which brick and wood are combined when performing the corresponding elements ( wooden floors And rafter system for a building made of aerated concrete or brick);
- With a diverse facade finishing(plaster and lining, wood and natural stone).
Project selection
Projects of combined houses and cottages are placed in the catalog taking into account the convenience of their selection and comparison. To help site users, 2 filters have been installed in this category:
- Highlights projects that have a combination of finishes. Using a material of a different texture or color, a fireplace chimney placed in the exterior, rustications, or individual elements in the form of decorative inserts can be decorated.
- Shows a whole series of combined houses (category “European houses” with the exception of the Scandinavian style).
We will help you design your home individually or build it combined house turnkey for minimum price- the cost of work includes only the proposed equipment, without additional options and surcharges.
