CONSTRUCTION OF FINNISH HOUSES

Finnish housing is characteristic of Scandinavian countries; it is simple, functional and environmentally friendly. They are built mainly of wood and natural materials, with a healthy microclimate and energy efficiency. They feature comfortable layouts, large windows to maximize natural light, gable roofs to prevent snow accumulation, and spacious balconies and terraces for outdoor recreation.Saunas are an integral part of Finnish housing, reflecting the cultural traditions of the region.

The Scandinavian style is characterized by minimalism, the use of natural materials and light colors.
It is characterized by clean lines, simple shapes and functionality without unnecessary decorative elements.
The main materials are wood, stone, wool and linen, which emphasizes environmental friendliness and sustainability.
White dominates, and pastel colors create a sense of space and light that compensates for the long dark season.
Large windows maximize the use of natural light, connecting the interior with the outdoors.
Coziness is achieved with the help of warm blankets, soft pillows, candles and fireplaces, creating a comfortable and pleasant space for living.

The Scandinavian style originated in the early 20th century in the Nordic countries of Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland.
It developed in response to the need to create functional and accessible spaces that maximize the use of natural light, which is especially important in regions with long winter nights.
Scandinavian design is inspired by natural landscapes and reflects local lifestyles and climatic conditions, striving for simplicity, cleanliness and convenience.
The style has also been influenced by the modernist movement, which emphasizes aesthetics through functionality and lack of ornamentation.

The architecture of Finnish houses is determined by national traditions and peculiarities. In Finland, people pay great attention to the environment. Their houses have simple but aesthetically perfect forms that harmoniously fit into the natural landscape. The design features of Finnish houses are:

• 1 floor with an attic or 1.5 floors with an attic;
• small size of the area 100 – 120 m2;
• ceilings with a height of just over 2.5 meters for more efficient heat retention and energy savings;
• a gable roof that protects the house from snow, rain and winds;
• spacious open terraces that give the buildings volume and depth;
• lack of garages;
• large windowsthat shed streams of natural light into the house;
• the presence in the room a traditional sauna, storage room and utility rooms.

Finnish houses in the Scandinavian style combine simplicity, functionality and environmental friendliness.

Finnish houses and wooden cottages reflect the traditions of the Scandinavians, emphasizing environmental friendliness and functionality. Only environmentally friendly materials are used in the construction, and the design is characterized by the absence of unnecessary design elements. The main features of the finished house are:

Convenient layout: thought out to the smallest detail to ensure maximum comfort.

Large windows provide natural light to the premises.

The gable roof prevents snow accumulation in winter.

Spacious balcony: ideal for relaxing.

Comfortable terrace: expands the living space outdoors.

A sauna is an essential attribute of a Scandinavian house.

The layout can be different and adapted according to the customer’s wishes.

The people of Scandinavia pay special attention to the thermal insulation and energy efficiency of their homes. They prefer comfort, but build their wooden houses on a rational budget, carefully considering the layout and using building materials that provide maximum warmth. Finnish houses keep warm in winter and cool in summer. Finnish houses are characterized by structural strength, convenient and comfortable living, attractive design, functionality of every square meter of space and short construction time.

Finnish houses are built using frame technology and from glued laminated timber.

Based on tradition, the planning should be approached with full responsibility, so that ergonomics does not turn into unnecessary asceticism.
Comfort and the ability to enjoy a relaxing vacation for each of the residents is always a priority.

Wide hallways, halls and corridors are not common in Finnish homes.
The bedrooms are small, and the ceilings do not exceed 2.5 meters.
At the same time, small utility rooms allow you to store things and avoid piling them up in living areas, and due to the light finish and wide windows, the rooms inside look spacious and seem larger than they are.

The attic under the gable roof is used not only for storing things, but also as a study, library or additional sleeping place.

All these nuances are necessarily taken into account during the design process.
The design of a one-story Finnish house requires special attention because it provides maximum convenience with a minimum area.
Today, these tasks can be easily entrusted to specialists who have experience and already proven solutions.

Installation of engineering systems in a frame house requires careful planning and execution in accordance with the project documentation. Here is a detailed description of the installation of each of the main elements of engineering systems:

• Electricity supply. The installation of electrical wiring in a frame house usually involves laying cables inside the wall panels before closing them with a raised beam or other finishing material. It is important to use non-combustible cables suitable for use in wet conditions with sufficient resistance to mechanical damage. The cables should be fixed to the frame posts with plastic clips.
• Water supply. Pipes for cold and hot water are installed inside the walls and floor before finishing. Higher-density polyethylene pipes are usually used, which are corrosion-resistant and have a long service life. Pipelines should be carefully insulated, especially in cold climates, to prevent freezing.
• Sewerage. The sewer system includes the installation of drainage pipes that collect wastewater and direct it to an external sewer system or septic tank. Pipes are usually laid out with a slope to allow for gravity flow of wastewater, installed in floors and secured to the subfloor before the finish coating is applied.
• Heating. The heating system can be water or air. Radiators are mounted on the walls, and pipes for underfloor heating are laid in a concrete screed or under wooden coverings. It is important to ensure proper pipe insulation to minimize heat loss.
• Ventilation. A ventilation system is necessary to provide fresh air and remove contaminants. Ventilation ducts are installed in ceilings and walls facing the outside. For frame buildings, a forced ventilation system with heat recovery is often used to save energy needed for heating.
