Saving. As a rule, the first floor is made of brick, and the second floor is made of wood. This makes the structure relatively lightweight, eliminating the need for an expensive foundation.

Fire safety. Usually on the ground floor there is a kitchen, boiler room, and fireplace. In this case, brick walls reduce the risk of fire.

Comfortable microclimate. The combination of stone and brick allows for good heat retention in rooms and provides an optimal level of humidity.

Combining materials is a favorite pastime of designers; in capital construction it is used to solve important practical problems. Proper combination of the physical qualities of stone and wood in the load-bearing walls of a building gives the developer a tangible benefit 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 when constructing such a structure?

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

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

The second frame floor can be decorated with decorative plaster or stone tiles. As an example, we invite you to look at the photo below.

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

Structural options for combined houses

Despite the variety of facade decor, the construction of combined houses must comply with the main principle: 1st floor is stone, 2nd floor is 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 reducing the labor intensity and cost of construction.

Anyone who does not want to spend extra money on exterior decoration is doing the right thing. The combination of stone and wood is optimal not only for structural reasons, but also from an aesthetic standpoint. Therefore, do not hide behind the finishing 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.

It originates from the harsh mountainous terrain, 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 durable rock that is not afraid of snow debris, rockfalls and water. The second floor is designed to create comfort and coziness. Can't find one for these purposes best material than natural wood.

The “ancestral 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 torn stone or flat limestone “flagstone”, then build the first floor from. They are quite durable 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 securing the second level support beam.

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

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

For the combined construction of a cottage you can use. They are stronger than foam concrete, not as fragile and very warm. Finishing arbolite walls is not labor-intensive, since any decorative plaster.

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 made of brick and timber, then build it according to this scheme: the ground technical floor is monolithic reinforced concrete, the first level is 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 your money, but will also allow you to flexibly change internal layout, adapting it to family needs.

You can hide the frame of the second floor behind the finishing. Another interesting option is to specifically highlight it, turning it into an element of facade decor. A half-timbered structure is best suited for this – an antique one. frame system, in which the posts, beams and cross braces face the façade.

A serious problem with all cottages is dampness on the ground floor. A 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, the combination of different wall materials is the main feature of a combined building. In contrast, the combined façade of a house can be used on any residential building.

For example, by building a cottage from insulated sandwich panels, you can easily “disguise” it as a stone one. For this you can use ceramic tiles, sandstone, porcelain stoneware or rustic plaster. If ordinary, rather than facing, brick is used for laying walls, then a “combi-facade” will also be appropriate.

The photo shows a house being built from brick and timber. Obviously nondescript brickwork additional finishing will be required. It doesn’t have to be decorated “like a 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 laminated veneer lumber on the second.

Pros and cons of the combination idea

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

The main one is the different “lifetime” of stone and wood. In rocks it reaches 150 years. At best, the tree will last half a century. For light frames and panel walls this period will be even shorter. Therefore, a moment will inevitably come when the first stone floor is still quite strong and reliable, and the walls of the second floor already require repair.

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

To summarize, 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 hackers.

A wooden frame requires a properly assembled drainage system to prevent moisture from entering the wood. In addition, during the construction stage, constant quality control of the sealing of all cross sections of wooden posts and beams is required.

Combined houses made of stone and wood, the designs of which usually include a brick (stone, concrete) first (ground) floor and wooden second (attic ) is an attempt to level out the disadvantages of some materials at the expense of the advantages of others. Stone (brick) is very strong, durable and reliable material, but at the same time it takes a very long time to warm up and requires both internal and often external finishing work.

Wood is an environmentally friendly and healthy material with excellent thermal insulation, but it is also very fire hazardous and relatively short-lived. Combining these materials allows you to minimize costs, ensuring maximum energy savings and high construction speed.

Features of designing combined houses

House designs using stone and wood have a fairly long architectural history. These include half-timbered houses, in which the wooden frame was filled with stones, or alpine chalets, which were originally the dwellings of shepherds.

However, the construction of a combined house made of wood and stone was quite common in Russian architecture - in the 19th century, enterprising middle-class merchants, minimizing costs, built two-story houses, in which the first floor made of stone was “business” - it housed a store (shop) or office. But the second floor was allocated for living space.

A combined stone-wood house will allow you to make the most of strengths each material:

• use of brick (stone, concrete blocks) – non-flammable material- on the ground floor it is quite justified, because there is a living room with fireplace, kitchen, possibly a garage and other rooms with an increased risk of fire. In addition, in this case it will be easier to obtain permission and install the boiler on the ground floor

• durability - it is the lower crowns that are exposed to the greatest negative effects (moisture, fungus, mold, insects) wooden house, close to the ground. The first floor, built of brick, will last for decades without reducing reliability, because brick is practically not affected by negative natural factors, and wood will be protected from moisture and the influence of groundwater

Advice! When designing combined houses, you can abandon the high foundation characteristic of wooden houses– brick withstands moisture well.

• profitability - in financially a combined brick + wood house will cost less than a complete house brick house, and this is only if we take into account the cost of the material. It is worth considering additional costs: insulation brick walls, Finishing work, heating the residential floor - the financial benefits will be especially noticeable

• energy efficiency - wood retains heat much better than brick, which will save on heating the living area, but you should not neglect the insulation of the basement

• combining materials will significantly reduce the total weight of the building, so you can further save on laying the foundation

Advice! To further reduce weight, the second floor can be constructed using non-material timber or rounded logs, but use frame technology

• speed of construction - both the brick and wooden parts of the house are built quite quickly, but while the wooden part is shrinking (this can take up to a year for rounded logs, for laminated veneer lumber this is not very significant), you can finish the first floor and even move into it

• aesthetics - combining materials allows you to get a very unusual and attractive exterior; such designs make it possible to implement interesting and non-standard design solutions and approaches.

The first floor, built of brick, is distinguished by its excellent practical advantages - it is stable, strong, ideal for equipment bathrooms, laundry, boiler room, mini-pool, warm garage, as well as a kitchen, dining room and living room. The second floor, built of wood, is distinguished by an environment of comfort and warmth; thanks to its natural qualities, wood provides natural air exchange and humidity control, so it is optimal to equip rooms with a minimum of utilities and installations - bedrooms, children's rooms, an office.

IN modern construction There is a gradual abandonment of brick in favor of aerated concrete or other types of cellular concrete. First of all, they are lighter, which allows for additional savings on laying the foundation. Important point– with the same strength, aerated concrete has significantly better thermal insulation performance than brick. But the second floor can be built from rounded logs, profiled or laminated timber, or frame method.

There are two approaches to designing the facade of combined houses:

• unified style - in this case, the entire house is decorated in the same style, the difference between floors is completely eliminated, for which both decorative plaster and siding can be used. Brick floor can be finished imitation timber, block house, clapboard, etc., so that visually the house is completely wooden

• different designs - the second floor in this case remains untouched (the wood can only be additionally painted or varnished), the first floor is finished with decorative brick or plaster, tiles, stone (natural or artificial).

When building combined houses, special attention will be required in the transition from the brick part to the wooden part. Between floors, reinforcing metal pins are used as a connecting element - placing them in the upper rows of brick (stone) masonry, they are used to secure the first crowns of the second floor. A prerequisite is the creation of a waterproofing layer, for which you can use roofing felt, polyurethane foam and other materials that will protect wooden structures from moisture.

A combined house is a building in which construction was carried out 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 first floor made of stone and a 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 the attic floor is 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 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:

1. 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.
2. Shows a whole series of combined houses (category “European houses” with the exception of the Scandinavian style).

We will help you design a home individually or build a turnkey combined house for a minimal price - the cost of work includes only the proposed equipment, without additional options and additional payments.
