Agree, there is some unique charm in the construction of a wooden house, which intensifies in winter against the backdrop of fluffy deep snow and the ringing roar of the wind. Even large wooden houses somehow magically manage to look cozy in the cold winter, as if inviting the owners or random passers-by to enjoy the warmth of such an organic wooden house. Today I invite you to immerse yourself in the fabulous atmosphere of winter landscapes, into which wooden houses fit very well. After all, on the eve of the New Year, sometimes you really want to touch the beautiful!
Wooden winter house
If you try to get away from noisy Moscow to your dacha on a free day off in both cold winter and hot summer, then the best option for you is a wooden winter house.
Wood is the best material for the construction of suburban housing. It helps to create an indescribable atmosphere and comfort during the cold season. Ideal to keep warm even at sub-zero temperatures. You can quickly and easily warm it up and maintain a comfortable temperature inside.
In the summer, being in it, you will not be bothered by the heat: on the contrary, you will feel pleasantly cool.
Today, log houses have become an expensive pleasure, and not every Moscow resident can afford such a purchase. An excellent alternative to a turnkey winter house are structures made of laminated veneer lumber and frame frames. If you carry out the appropriate work in them, you will be comfortable in frosts of -30 ° C.
Half-timbered cottage
Cottage in half-timbered style
Half-timbered cottages are allocated as a separate architectural direction of individual construction due to the peculiarities of the layout. This style is a grateful source of ideas for facades.
Half-timbered cottage
The cottage has the features of a chalet in the form of a low roof with large overhangs, the layout and appearance of a traditional Swedish house and elements of farm cottages. Modern projects in the half-timbered style involve continuous glazing of the facade and open-plan interiors.

Turnkey winter houses
Building a house for spending time in winter requires compliance with certain rules and technologies, otherwise you simply will not be able to stay inside in the cold.
The price of a turnkey winter house is slightly different from the “summer” package. This is due to a number of works being carried out. Check out what we included in the price:
- A more stable and reliable foundation. The architects proposed using a pile with strapping, which the builders would install to the depth of soil freezing.
- A floor with reinforced joists, a higher subfloor, on which insulation was placed on top and a better floorboard was used. This will allow you to keep out the cold that rises from the ground in cold weather.
- Better insulation. This measure will allow you to keep your room warm in cold weather.
- Plastic windows. They will prevent drafts from entering and create additional sound insulation.
- When performing roofing work, we paid special attention to thermal insulation. In the summer version, in order to reduce the cost, it is not carried out.
- Internal and external wall cladding with pine clapboard.
- Entrance and interior wooden doors.
- Full porch with steps, covered with clapboard.
Layout options
The layout of the house depends entirely on the number of floors, the presence of an attic or balcony, the number of residents and your plans in general. If you want a time-tested and practice-tested option, choose standard projects. There is not such variety, but it is cheaper and the likelihood that something will go wrong is minimal. If you need something more specific, you can develop an individual project.
Traditionally, in houses with an attic or several floors, living rooms are moved upstairs: a bedroom or a children's room. You can take out a guest room with a guest bathroom or a secluded study. And below there is a living room, kitchen, dining room, main bathroom and all technical rooms: boiler room, storage room, and possibly a sauna with a garage. Due to its simple, clear shapes and ease of processing, the timber allows for almost any experiment.

Flaws
There are several reasons why many people refuse wood:
- fire hazard;
- rot;
- damage by fungi and termites;
- ability to dry out and crack.
People have come up with many protective means that allow them to process wood, so the shortcomings of such dwellings can be easily corrected.
Bay window
Nowadays, bay windows in a wooden house are becoming increasingly popular. A bay window is a part of a room that protrudes beyond the façade and its plane. It cannot be called an extension, because it is only a continuation of the house and is located in a heated room. A bay window will make the architectural appearance more attractive, and the total area will be a couple of squares larger.
A bay window can have either a simple square or rectangular shape or a complex polygonal one. A bay window with a large number of angles destroys stereotypical thinking and makes the exterior of the house original and unusual. Structurally, a bay window can protrude either at the corner of a wooden house or along its wall. Thanks to the use of this architectural technique, you can increase the area of the house, create an original look and let more natural light into the house, because it is often glazed as much as possible. The bay window can be located not only on the ground floor of the house, but also go up to the roof, which will create a spectacular appearance reminiscent of columns or small towers.
In one house you can use several bay windows of different types at once. In one part of the house it can be a paired bay window, on the other side - a multifaceted one-story one, and so on. In general, the presence of a bay window can diversify the exterior of a wooden house, bring a fresh wave to it and bring to life the original ideas of the owner.
Features of the kitchen interior
When planning a kitchen in a country house, keep in mind that the stove is best placed near the window. Otherwise, a powerful hood should be installed above it. The best place for the refrigerator is the darkest corner of the room.
Furniture can be made in a classic or more modern style, the main thing is to find the right combinations. The dining area is best equipped with a massive wooden table. It can be round or rectangular in shape.
A chandelier with wooden elements and simple and laconic lamp models will fit organically into the kitchen space. Take additional care of the lighting above the work area.
