The project of a house made of bricks and logs. Types of combined houses made of stone and wood: design and construction. Features of the construction of combined houses from foam blocks and wood

The combined house is indeed an achievement in terms of construction. A solid base and a stylish extension.

If you have already looked at some of the combined house designs and you liked them, it's time to talk about them a little closer.

What are the advantages of a combined house:

  1. He is really very strong.
  2. Fire safety increased (1st floor is a kitchen, boiler room and utility room)
  3. More economical than their counterparts made of the same type of "heavy" materials (due to less weight and, accordingly, savings on the foundation)

A bit about technology

Such houses are divided into several types.

For example, you can look at the combined stone and wood houses designed by the company DomaSV. They contain a collection of classically European style, adapted to Russian climatic conditions. Such a house will last for many years and it will not be necessary to worry about it in terms of major repairs. Reliability and long service life, proven in more than one country.

Or here's a great one combined houses made of foam blocks and wood, this is the development of our domestic manufacturers. Lighter and more cost effective. As a design, it is not inferior to its foreign brothers.

Briefly about the types of combinations:

  1. Stone - Profiled timber
  2. Stone - rounded log
  3. Stone - Glued laminated timber
  4. Stone - Classic timber

Well, all this can be repeated with foam concrete blocks, in any sequence.

When choosing a material for the construction of a private house or cottage, they often stop at combined options. Quite popular today can be called houses made of foam blocks and wood. They hold heat well and look great on the outside. Such buildings have certain advantages, they also have some disadvantages. Therefore, before choosing a particular project, it is better to first familiarize yourself with all the pros and cons of such buildings, as well as the features of their construction.

Today you can find quite a lot of convenient standard projects of houses and wood. Most often these are two-story buildings. The first floor, as a rule, is erected from foam concrete, and the second - from wood. Such structures have high thermal insulation qualities, are quite durable and are a relatively inexpensive option.

Advice. Such material as foam concrete is hygroscopic. Therefore, to protect the walls made of foam concrete blocks, further external finishing will be required, which slightly increases the total cost of construction. And this must be taken into account when planning your expenses for building a house.

On the ground floor of a building made of foam blocks and natural wood, there is usually a kitchen, a bathroom and various technical rooms. For the construction of the walls of the upper floor, where the bedrooms and other living quarters will be located, a bar or other similar material is used. This allows you to create in your home that special atmosphere that can only be achieved with the use of natural wood.

You can also find other projects of such combined houses, for example, when an extension of foam concrete blocks adjoins a wooden building, which will house the necessary technological premises. After viewing the same photos and videos of various options for houses made of foam blocks and wood, you may want to either completely abandon the standard project, or make only some of your changes to it. But for this it is better to contact a specialist.

Foam concrete and wood: the advantages of combined houses

Structures made of foam blocks and wood are a convenient, reliable and relatively low-cost option for building housing. Foam concrete blocks are quite light in weight and large in size. Due to this, the walls of the building can be erected in a fairly short time. There are other advantages of combining materials in the construction of a private house, namely:

  • the use of foam concrete allows the use of lightweight types of foundation, which significantly reduces the cost of building your own house and simplifies the overall work;
  • these buildings are more reliable in terms of fire safety, since foam concrete is not a combustible material;
  • the shrinkage of such houses is much less than that of those made entirely of wood material, which means that interior finishing work can begin almost immediately after construction is completed;
  • wood is used only for the construction of the second floor. The wooden structures of the house do not come into contact with snowdrifts and soil. They will be less susceptible to rotting, the sudden appearance of a fungus, attacks by some insect pests of wood;
  • the cost of combined building projects is usually lower than that of houses made entirely of wood.

Such structures also have certain disadvantages. Among them, the following two disadvantages can be distinguished, which relate to foam concrete:


Construction of a cottage
  • the need to finish the facade of the first floor of the building, since the foam concrete material absorbs moisture quite well;
  • foam concrete blocks are, although a durable material, but rather fragile.

Attention! For the reliability of the structure during the construction of a building from foam blocks and wood, a reinforcing belt for floors is mandatory.

Choice of wood material

Foam concrete is not too expensive building material. But the choice of one or another wood material can significantly increase or decrease the overall cost of building a building. For the construction of the upper floor of the house, you can take various types of timber, a rounded log, or use a frame base and OSB boards.

The most durable and reliable is glued laminated timber. It is durable and looks great on the outside. But this material has a rather high cost. Its use for the construction of the second floor of a household significantly increases the overall cost of its construction.

Massive profiled timber is cheaper than a glued counterpart. It is of good quality and meets all standards, although it is somewhat inferior to glued laminated timber in some respects. And the most economical option is the use of raw timber, which is low in cost, as well as the use of frame technology.

The desire to have their own country house forces many residents of the metropolis to invest fabulous sums in the construction. And the more intricate the project of the cottage is, the greater the financing of the construction should be. At the same time, the price of a finished house to a large extent depends on the material used for construction. And since stone is mainly used for the installation of houses in Russia, the cottage translates into a pretty penny. However, there is a very productive method of saving family money on building their own nest - cozy and durable houses made of stone and wood. So, as a result of a combination of materials, it will be possible to save on the installation of the entire structure.

Types of combined houses

The use of diverse building materials in the construction of houses has been known to history since the 15th century. And the main harmonious combination was the combination of stone and wood. Such a tandem allows you to make a powerful load-bearing plinth (or first floor) and mount an already lightweight version of the second floor or attic made of wood above it. The most popular examples of such combinations are:

  • Half-timbered houses. They originate from Eastern Europe and Scandinavia. The construction of such buildings is based on a wooden frame, which is filled with a natural stone block. Or this same timber frame is mounted on a pre-arranged stone lower floor. The house acquires the outlines of reliability, massiveness and fortress.
  • Chalet houses. They are also known as hunter's houses. These buildings came to architecture from the mountainous Alps, where shepherds and hunters equipped their homes in order to hide from the changeable weather of the mountains. Snow or unexpected winds, rain or hot sun - all this could overtake the shepherd in the mountains at any moment. It was as a refuge that strong chalet cottages were built, which were based on a strong stone (basement) floor and a wooden attic, sheltered from snow and wind by a sloping roof. Such a house made of wood and stone today has become a special style of architectural direction.

Important: the main rule when combining materials in a building is the installation of a lighter floor over a heavier one. And even if the house will have three floors, the bearing capacity of building materials should decrease from bottom to top. For example, a concrete basement, then the first floor of blocks or bricks, the third floor is exclusively wooden.

Types of material combinations

The construction of combined buildings is similar to the work of a sculptor. Here you can interpret in such a way that the finished cottage turned out to be unlike any of the neighboring ones. In this case, most often the developer uses the following types of combinations:

  • Monolithic reinforced concrete and log rounded. Here, coarser hand-cut chopped round timber can be used. Note that a reliable reinforced concrete level acts as a basement semi-basement floor. It is subsequently sheathed on the outside with clinker tiles or simply plastered. The use of a reinforced concrete monolith in the form of a basement floor is relevant on non-porous soils with a low level of groundwater.
  • The combination of a brick ground floor with a lighter and more even beam. In this case, either a strip reinforced concrete foundation or a monolithic slab is mounted under the house. It all depends on the type of soil on the site and the level of groundwater on it. It is worth noting that brick and timber, which have a perfectly even shape, create an original tandem for mounting a house in the style of half-timbered construction.
  • You can also mount a three-story house from combined materials. Here, combined houses made of foam blocks and wood on top of a monolithic basement level are relevant. At the same time, the house will acquire its final appearance, thanks to the exterior finish of the stone floors chosen by the developer. The tree will speak for itself.
  • And there is also a cheaper combination of materials from a bar or log on the first floor and a frame-shield structure on the second. But this technology is used for small cottages and, if desired, save a lot.

Important: in any of the cases of installing a stone first level, the fire safety of the finished house increases several times. Since it is in the basement (lower) level of the house that all utility and utility rooms are located, such as a kitchen, garage, boiler room, workshop, fireplace room, etc.

The advantages of houses made of combined material

The construction of a combined house has a number of advantages in comparison with the installation of a homogeneous cottage. Especially if it was originally planned to mount the whole stone house. So, the main positive aspects of such a building are:

  • Significant savings in the construction budget. Moreover, funds are saved not only due to the cost of diverse materials - stone and wood. The estimate is melting before our eyes as a result of the fact that houses made of bricks or blocks and timber end up with a smaller mass than a completely stone building. As a result, a lightweight type of foundation can be mounted under such a house. But it is the basis that most often costs about 30-40% of the total construction budget. In addition, it will be possible to save money on hiring workers for the installation of the cottage. That is, the payment to masons will be less than if they built a completely stone house. Yes, and renting special equipment for the installation of a combined house is cheaper.
  • Wide architectural possibilities. Most often, for the construction of combined houses, non-standard projects of combined houses made of brick and wood are used. Here, the extensions of the left or right wing of the house may predominate as a territory for the utility room. At the same time, this area of ​​the cottage is also reliably sheltered from precipitation by a sloping roof, like any other part of the house. You can also hide from prying eyes all the utility rooms in the basement, and leave only the cozy and comfort-breathing rooms of the first floor and the attic for the guests to see. Stained-glass windows, an attic balcony under the roof or a spacious terrace from the eastern part of the cottage are used as the entourage of the house.
  • It is also worth noting that you can move into a combined house immediately, but using only the first or basement floor. Since the stone is not subject to natural shrinkage, the interior finishing of the lower level can be carried out immediately after construction is completed. The upper wooden level must be given time to shrink and only after that begin internal work.
  • The heat capacity of a combined house will be several times higher than that of a house made entirely of stone. After all, the tree perfectly holds heat, which means that the heating of the first floor is of high quality, and the optimum temperature of the second level can also be ensured. Hence, by the way, and savings on the maintenance of the finished house.
  • In addition, the stone lower floor is more resistant to seasonal changes in the ground, which means that it will ensure a longer service life of the finished cottage.
  • In addition, it is the wooden part of the combined stone-wood house that provides optimal microcirculation throughout the entire room. After all, the tree breathes constantly, regardless of temperature changes outside and inside the building.

However, the combined cottage has one significant disadvantage - this is the difference in the service life of building materials. So, a stone is able to provide a house with a life of 100 years or more. While the upper level of the cottage, made of timber or logs, will require repair in 30-40 years. However, such a nuance can also be interpreted as a positive moment - there is a chance to re-plan the attic level to meet the needs of a family that has grown in size. That is, both children and grandchildren can be provided with a separate spacious room in a cozy strong house.

The nuances of the construction of a combined structure

In order to correctly combine two types of building materials into a single and strong monolithic structure, several basic requirements must be observed:

  • So, you need to combine wood with stone using special steel pins built into the masonry. At the same time, the stone surface in front of the installation of wooden crowns must be waterproofed.
  • The tree, in turn, is necessarily treated with antiseptics and flame retardants before laying in order to increase its fire safety and resistance to decay.
  • The stone part of the house is finished with plaster or cladding. And the decorative design of the wooden level, if necessary, is performed using lining. Although wood is an independent and harmonious building material.

Design features of combined buildings

In order for a house made of aerated concrete (brick, foam concrete or reinforced concrete monolith) to become a real haven for the whole family, several nuances must be taken into account during its construction (at the design stage):

  • So, in the lower part of the cottage, all utility, household and public premises are usually located. If the house has only two levels, then rest rooms such as a billiard room, a fireplace room, and a living room are also arranged here. At the same level, but away from the "noisy" rooms, you can arrange an office. If the house is supposed to have a basement level, then it is here that all household rooms are arranged. On the ground floor there is a kitchen, a dining room, a fireplace and an office. And already in the attic they design all the rooms for sleeping. Here you can also place a nursery.
  • An excellent solution is offered by such house projects, where on the ground floor they arrange a room for a family business. It can be a workshop or atelier, a small shop or office. Autumn is convenient to work with a family, without leaving home and without wasting time on the road to the workplace.

Tip: but in this case, you should make sure that all household members have a separate entrance to the house, hidden from prying eyes. It is better if it is a courtyard hidden by a fence. Such a combined house project is a great option for a large family.

During the construction of a combined house, the lower floor is made using stone, and the upper one is constructed from wood. Such a 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.

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 stone and wood houses 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.
