A combined house is a building that was built using different materials- in load-bearing structures or 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. Company " Bronze Horseman» offers modern options construction combined houses turnkey - projects for implementation in suburban developments in Moscow, St. Petersburg and regions of Russia.

Types of combined houses

Each building material has its own pros and cons. Stone is strong but heavy, wood is lighter and more favorable for humans, but is 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, using it 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 on 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 variety of façade finishes (plaster and lining, wood and natural stone).

• First of all, of course, it is organized. Due to the lightness of the design, a “pillow” for a building will be inexpensive. Materials that do not give high load based on the structure, will allow significantly;
• The next stage in the construction of combined structures is the laying of foam concrete blocks. This material must be handled very carefully. This will help you avoid incurring additional costs for purchasing additional units of raw materials that have deteriorated during the laying process;
  The process of laying foam concrete blocks

  

• After the foam concrete blocks have been laid, the structure should be left for a short time. Foam concrete blocks must become resilient and adapt to the prevailing climatic situation;
• Then you can begin construction of the second floor. Sometimes in combined houses it is assumed that the entire structure will be built from wooden beams, and then finishing the finished structure foam concrete blocks on top of the tree. In this case, the steps of action are clear.
  If each of the blocks (foam concrete blocks and wood) are separate, then the construction of the second floor will require additional efforts from the owner of the land plot or from construction company. Combined houses made of foam blocks and wood must be built thoughtfully, carefully fulfilling the requirements for density and adhesion of materials;
• After the second floor is ready, the owners of the land plot can move into a residential building.

These are just some of the features of combined houses. It is best to obtain a complete list of instructions on the construction of such buildings from experienced craftsmen in this matter. Video review of a combined house made of wood and foam blocks.

The main advantage of combined projects is the combination of different wall materials from which they are taken best characteristics and properties. Simply put, these houses are more comfortable to live in than completely stone ones, and more reliable than completely wooden houses.

The lower, stone floor usually has a garage, boiler room, swimming pool or sauna, kitchen, storage room and laundry room. Thus, these rooms are not exposed to moisture and fire. However, concrete lacks the comfortable feeling of warmth and naturalness. This disadvantage is solved by constructing a combined project, in which the second floor is designed from wood wall material, giving comfort and a healthy atmosphere. Upper, wooden floor This is a living area with bedrooms, a nursery, and an office for work. As you know, wood “breathes” because it has pores and allows air to pass through. Relaxing and sleeping in wood is much more pleasant and easier than in concrete.

The base of a combined house is usually made of:

• brick
• building blocks (gas blocks, foam block, wood concrete, keramite, expanded clay block)
• monolith
• natural stone

The second and subsequent floors are designed from:

• timber - regular, glued, profiled
• log - planed or rounded
• frame technology with wood-look cladding
• made of sip panels - also with wood finish

An excursion into the history of combined projects

The combination of stone and wood has been used in the construction of houses for a very long time, both in Russia and abroad. Initially the basis for this method The construction was inspired by the chalet style, common among the inhabitants of the Alpine mountains. A stone foundation was necessary to firmly plant the house on the mountain slopes and to withstand snow and wind. The residential roof was built of wood and had wide roof overhangs to protect from rain, which is currently “ business card» of this architectural style.

In our country, houses using stone and wood were quite popular among merchants, wealthy artisans and kulaks. The lower stone floors were used by merchants as warehouses and shops, and by artisans as workshops. The second wooden floor was used as a residential floor. Such combined houses were cheaper than completely stone ones, and were more durable than completely wooden ones; thanks to the elevation of the wooden part above the ground, it was protected from flooding and less susceptible to fires. Total benefit!

Features of designing combined houses

As previously stated, main feature combined projects is a symbiosis of the strength of the stone of the first floor and the lightness of the wood of the upper floors. Of course, without good foundation this cannot be done, but its load will be less in the case of designing and building two floors from stone at once. And since the foundation is usually 25% of the total price of the house, you can save quite a decent amount on it. Unlike blocks, wood on the second floor will not require global finishing, except for priming and painting, so you can save money at this stage as well.

Combined houses do not require a long time to shrink. You can move into these houses immediately upon completion of the basic construction - having finished only the lower, stone floor. Wooden part, as in conventional wooden houses, it will take up to 1.5-2 years to shrink, so it is not recommended to finish it and move in immediately.

Savings on the construction of combined projects can also be obtained on thermal insulation, because, unlike an entirely stone house, a combined one requires less thermal insulation. It is also not necessary to treat the entire house with an antiseptic, unlike an entirely wooden house.

The tree is removed from the ground, and therefore from exposure to moisture. From stone building materials, you can safely build rooms such as a boiler room, a bathroom - even with a sauna, even with a swimming pool, or a living room with a fireplace. As a result, the customer of the combined project will receive a competent, technologically advanced building at a low price, the materials of which are used by each person precisely for their own purposes.

A pleasant and unusual appearance is guaranteed if you choose a combined house project. A log or beam looks aesthetically pleasing and of good quality, and the finishing of the first floor is made of artificial stone or plaster will give appearance respectability. Our company’s specialists can design the facades either as a single whole or by preserving an unforgettable combination of wood and stone!

Combined houses are built using two or more materials. Projects of mixed-type cottages are popular, using which combined houses are built from stone and wood.

Advantages and disadvantages of combining materials

Working designs of combined houses and cottages usually involve a first floor made of stone (brick, gas or foam blocks) and a second floor made of wood. This solution has its advantages:

1. Fire protection. Brick and stone are non-flammable. On the ground floor you can install a fireplace, boiler and other equipment with an increased fire hazard.
2. Durability. Most from negative impacts suffers bottom part at home, therefore, using brick or stone, you can ensure the durability of the structure.
3. Construction of housing from logs and stone or brick is cheaper than entirely stone (or brick) cottages. Savings are achieved not only due to the lower cost of wood, but also due to reduced costs for insulation and finishing work.
4. Energy efficiency. Wood retains heat better - this allows you to save on heating costs.
5. Decline total weight buildings and savings on foundation construction.
6. Aesthetics. With proper design, a house made from combined materials turns out to be unusual and attractive.

But for the compatibility of different building materials, it is necessary to protect one raw material from another: for example, isolate a wooden floor from the lower part made of aerated concrete and brick. If the first floor is monolithic and the second floor is made of logs, a concrete base is required.

Common options for combining materials

• stone and wood - a classic combination;
• made of blocks and timber - a budget option;
• brick and timber or rounded logs - reliable housing, can be of any size;
