Norwegian house projects. Norwegian wooden houses. Viking house
If you offer a Norwegian to build a house from gas silicate, then he will most likely be very surprised: why build from blocks? The descendants of the Vikings mostly live in frame houses. And they don’t have phobias about mice in insulation or wind-blown walls. Maybe they build something differently? We talked with a man who spent 8 years in Norway on construction sites. He says Norwegian frame house and Belarusian are really different.
Reason for surprise
Maxim left to work in Norway in 2008. There he quickly found a use for himself - he got a job in a firm for the construction and repair of houses. The gained construction experience in Belarus turned out to be in demand - frame houses are just at the peak of popularity here. Maxim opened a small company, which, of course, is engaged in the construction of frame houses.
“In Norway, very profitable loans are issued for construction for a very long period,” Maxim says. - Therefore, the cost finished house 300 thousand euros does not scare anyone here. Naturally, their materials are more expensive, the labor of a builder is much more appreciated.
At the construction site of a house using Scandinavian technology
At the same time, Maxim says that when he studied the competitive environment, he came to the conclusion that among all the frame-building organizations there are very few that would adhere to already proven technologies - everyone has their own “know-how”. But most of all, he was struck by the prices of some competitors - with this quality, Belarusian frame houses should be half the price. How can you sell a cottage for the price of a house?
What is the difference between the Norwegian and Belarusian frameworks?
Viking house
Photo damdom.bel Norwegians live in small houses, "squares" by 130 -170. "Doraga and bagata" are not being built here. Outwardly, these are ordinary one-story houses with an attic. The height of the ceilings in the Norwegian house is 2.4 -2.5 m. In the attic it is even lower. At the same time, the average Norwegian male is under two meters tall. It's just that a house with low ceilings has a smaller volume, it is easier and cheaper to heat it. Standard layout: open area on the ground floor with a kitchen, dining room and living room, bedrooms on the second floor.
warm foundation
It's hard to believe, but the Norwegians don't deepen the foundations for their houses much. How it all happens: a bulldozer arrives, which removes the vegetable soil in the building spot. Gravel or crushed stone (not sand!) Is filled up, rammed. Further, a concrete reinforced pillow 20 cm high and 60 wide is made under the walls. Further, it’s not at all our way - hollow polystyrene foam blocks are installed around the perimeter. Between themselves they are connected by a special lock. From the outside, the block comes already finished. Concrete is poured inside the cavities. Immediately obtained insulated tape.
foundation block
However, this is not all - crushed stone is poured into the foundation, leveled and rammed. Waterproofing is laid, then plates of dense extruded polystyrene foam are laid with a layer of 150–200 mm. Next, the reinforcing mesh is laid out and everything is poured with concrete. The result is a flat base plate. On the other side of the foundation, a warm blind area is made - polystyrene foam on a compacted gravel backfill. The height of the foundation, if the site is flat without height differences, is only 60 cm.
Norwegian house near Minsk, www.damdom.bel But Maxim did not see pile foundations in Norway - maybe because their soils are often rocky. Or, for the reason that pile foundation it is difficult to make a warm floor, and it is almost mandatory in Norwegian homes.
“The fact is that frame houses are low-inertia,” Maxim explains. - That is, they quickly heat up, but also quickly cool down without a working heating system. A concrete floor serves as an excellent heat accumulator. Moreover, in the Norwegian frame you can find brick partitions, massive stoves, which also work as heat accumulators.
norwegian frame
For the frame, only calibrated planed timber of technical drying is used. For roof trusses, glued timber is often used. If a beam with a cross section of more than 150 mm is used, it will also be glued.
Sectional wall Rigidity to a framework is provided with jibs and the top bearing crossbar. All building materials are produced under standard sizes. For example, between the centers of the racks of the frame - 60 cm, between the racks - a distance of 55 cm. Therefore, all heaters have a width of 57.5 cm - 2.5 cm goes into compression. It does not need to be cut, it fits snugly between the racks of the frame. Finishing material is a multiple of 60 - 1.20 m, 2.4 m. There is practically no waste. In our country, manufacturers do not work to the standards of a frame house - there is no standard frame. All construction is adjusted to the dimensions of building materials.
MDVP boards 
An interesting nuance - Norwegians do not use impregnations for wooden frame elements - they build frames without antiseptics.
The Norwegian carcass pie is also different from ours. It obeys the main rule - vapor permeability should increase from the inside out. The role of hydrowind protection is performed by board material- MDVP (soft fibreboard). (You can also buy it from us - Steico, Beltermo, Izoplat). Wax impregnated materials are used for external walls. As a rule, the plates have a thickness of 30 mm or more, they are attached to the frame racks from the outside. In addition to protecting the insulation in the walls, MDVP is an additional layer of insulation. Further, according to Norwegian standards, the walls are sheathed on the outside with waterproof plasterboard. Then through the rail - wooden facade from an uncut board. This is the most common finish. Why uncut? To better penetrate the wood into the paint. Such facades are repainted every 10 years.
Lathing under a wooden facade on moisture-resistant drywall 
Special "comb" from the penetration of rodents into the ventilation gap From the inside, the walls are usually sewn up with a vapor barrier with gluing of the seams.
In Norway, no one will understand you if you ask, do the walls breathe? They build thermos houses, and "breathing", that is, air exchange, is possible only through supply ventilation with recovery. Just like that, and nothing else.
If there is ecowool inside the walls, then you can use a special active membrane with low vapor permeability. Such a wall will work like in a wooden house From the inside, the walls are sheathed without fail with two layers of drywall.
It is worth noting that the casing of the GKL frame on both sides is the fire safety standards of Norway (such standards are valid in all Scandinavian countries).
The minimum thickness of the insulation in the walls is from 200 mm, in the ceilings - 350 mm. In most cases, this is basalt wool, less often -. It is worth saying that the Norwegians are very concerned about heat saving - new houses are built using passive house technologies, with minimal energy consumption.
The windows in the houses are all wooden. Plastic can only be found in administrative buildings. And even profiles wooden windows here they do it with a thermal break.
Another nuance is the design of external window sills. On the houses of Norway you will not see our favorite metal tile. Metal, with the exception of a high-quality fold, is not in honor here. But what they really love here is this. Because it is heavy, and, of course, cheaper than ceramic.
What are the Norwegians warming up to?
Norway is a gas producing country, but most private houses are heated by electricity. Gas is very expensive compared to electricity. In addition, they have a widespread farm settlement system, and supplying gas to each farm costs a lot of money. But Norwegians practically do not count kilowatts - thanks to the many hydro and wind power plants, energy in the country is abundant and cheap. This is evidenced by the fact that Norwegians “forget” to turn off the facade lighting even during the day. In Norway, they are actively switching to electric vehicles, and the state encourages this -soft loans on acquisition, free charging, parking and freeways. That is probably why there are so many Tesla cars in the country.
In the near future we will tell you how Norwegians are repairing frame houses that have stood for more than 40 years.
How are our homes different?
from the rest?
Your home will be warm
We guarantee that the house built according to our project will be warm. Our houses fully comply with SNiP. “Incorrect” bay windows, balconies, extra cuts in the walls and some other elements can also lead to heat leaks. But the main reason for heat loss is blowing through the walls due to an incorrect profile of the longitudinal groove on a log or beam, or due to unprofessional assembly. We make sure our homes are warm.
We make changes to the project for free
Most clients ask to make their own changes to the project: add or remove a boiler room, a terrace, a "second light", an extra bedroom, windows, increase or decrease the premises. We are happy to implement the wishes of customers in the project. But we can also refuse changes if they do not comply with the current SNiPs or the rules of wooden housing construction or may lead to an increase in the cost of construction. We make all changes to the project free of charge.
You save on construction up to 200,000 rubles.
With our project, you are guaranteed to save on building a house - up to 200,000 rubles when building a 200-meter house.
The placement of engineering networks is already thought out
Placement is thought out in our projects engineering networks. If this is not done in advance, then you will have to use equipment of non-standard sizes, which usually costs more. Or you will need to install additional boxes in a visible place and their subsequent decoration.
Optimal arrangement of furniture
Our projects include a competent arrangement of furniture. This eliminates errors in planning the size of rooms, the location of window and door openings. If this is not done when designing, then, for example, due to improper placement of a door or window, you will not have enough 10-30 centimeters to locate plumbing fixtures, cabinets or kitchen drawers.
We build houses
We not only create projects, but also build houses. Each project presented on our website has been built by us many times. Our architects visit built houses and see “not on paper” the result of their work. We also receive feedback from the owners of houses built according to our projects, take into account their wishes and make changes to standard projects. Thus, we can say with confidence that our projects have been tested by time and repeated construction, they are comfortable for living and economical.
Optimal cutting of a 6-meter log
For the production of a log house, 6-meter logs are used. Logs are cut into elements. When cutting, waste remains, which can reach up to 20% of the total volume of wood. We design the house and the dimensions of the premises in such a way that the cutting of a 6-meter log is optimal, and waste tends to zero. This allows you to significantly reduce the cost of the log house. Therefore, the exact dimensions of the premises are very important, and changing the size even by 20 cm can lead to a large waste, and, consequently, a rise in price.
Norwegian-style houses differ from modern buildings not only in the material used, but also in the construction process. All of them are built using environmentally friendly material - wood. Used in construction
Typical Norwegian wooden house
If the first two types of timber have long been known to everyone, then the carriage began to appear relatively recently in our country. What does he represent? This is a log that has a semi-oval shape.
This method of wood processing appeared relatively recently. On the one hand, the log has an even shape, and on the other, it is semicircular. This makes it possible to use the flat surface of the material indoors, and the convex surface - outside.
Wood has long been used to build houses and today it can be found in any region.
The main characteristics of wood:
- strength,
- reliability,
- durability,
- environmental friendliness,
- ease of use,
- thermal insulation,
- practicality,
- has excellent air exchange,
- Pretty easy to finish.
In countries where the harsh winter climate,. Such work is carried out outside and inside at the same time. There is nothing difficult in this.
But for a Norwegian house, this will not need to be done, since according to the construction technology, insulation work can be carried out selectively.
Characteristics of Norwegian houses
Projects of Norwegian houses are quite popular, they are used for the construction of a country house or. The Norwegian layout differs from ours in that it involves a fairly large and roomy kitchen. The house also has a small living room compared to the kitchen, two small bedrooms.
As for the shape of the structure, it can be any. But, as a rule, houses using Norwegian technology are built in a square or rectangular shape, one-story and two-story. Everything will depend on the scale of the building and on the functionality assigned to the house.
Small Norwegian house project The roof of the Norwegian house does not have too much slope, so the ceilings are low. Their height can reach 2.30-2.50 m, in some cases even less.
Reasons for the popularity of the Norwegian style in building a house
Norwegian houses have become popular not only with the use of wood. This material was used in the construction of houses in Russia. It's all about the laying of timber and the construction technology itself. A large role in the finishing of building material is played by cutting wood, which can be carried out using special equipment or manually. In the latter case, it is possible to use hand tool when the technique can not cope with the finish.
All Norwegian technology houses have a very massive and fundamental appearance, as large logs are used in the construction. It is worth considering that Norwegian houses are a small type of building and, accordingly, there are small windows in it. In such a house, everything is made of wood, even spillways.
The houses are brightly decorated. Previously, black, gray and brown were used as primary colors.
At the moment, in Norway, the decoration of houses is used:
- green,
- orange,
- blue,
- bright red.
Modern production technologies roofing materials improved, but despite this, great importance in such an ecologically clean building it has a roof, in those parts it is grassy. It not only helps to normalize temperature regime in the house, but also creates an oxygen cushion - the structure constantly breathes. Also, the "green" roof protects the house from freezing in winter, and in summer, when it gets on it sun rays It helps protect your home from overheating.
One-story house built according to Norwegian technology with a grassy green roof Advice. To prevent moisture from entering the building through such a roof, it is necessary to carry out certain work using insulating materials.
Project and construction technology of a frame Norwegian house In such a house, everything is compact - small kitchen area, which can be connected to the living room, which saves space, or can be a separate functional room; a small living room with an area of \u200b\u200bup to 10 squares. There are one or two bedrooms - it depends on the area of the house.
If earlier all the frame houses that were built according to the Norwegian technology had one floor, then over time they began to turn into full-fledged two-story buildings that could accommodate several families.
Beforehand, a foundation is being built for such a house. After that, a frame is built on it. For this, wood is used, as a rule, profiled timber or well-finished boards.
After the frame of the Norwegian house is ready, they begin to sheath it. This is done with a gun carriage or beam. It is also very common to use plywood or OSB sheets. Such materials are also environmentally friendly and practical. The house can be covered with the same timber or any natural finishing material, for example, a block house.
Norwegian frame house insulation technology Advice. To build in our climatic conditions could be used for a long period of time, it will be necessary to make a quality procurement for the construction of materials. It is from them that the quality of construction will depend.
Eco-friendly homestead: Norwegian-style gun carriage wooden houses are attracting the attention of many people from all over the world. This happens not only because they are able to withstand the influence of extraordinary weather conditions, but also because they look quite democratic, one might even say universal, which allows the use of this building technology in almost any part of the world.

The ability of the local people of Norway to build their lives in such a way that they have at their disposal the most necessary condition for a cozy life, arouses the natural interest of those who are faced with the choice of country house design.
Norwegian style house project
WOODEN HOUSES IN NORWAY
A long tradition of Norwegian builders is the use of wood as a building material. Traditionally, Norwegian fishing villages were characterized by small houses that stood so close that they were one front of a row of houses. The technology of building and finishing a Norwegian-style house is now of great interest to designers who work in the field of low-rise housing.
Design features:
Traditionally, these Norwegian houses are built from gun carriages - logs hewn on both sides. For floor coverings and creating ceilings using wooden slabs or slabs. If you look at the house from the street, it will seem squat.
However, it is quite spacious inside, which is achieved by combining the kitchen with the living room, which does not have a straight ceiling. The height of the room due to this increases to 3 and a half meters, which significantly increases the volume of the room.
It is very easy to breathe in Norwegian houses, as they are made mainly of natural materials, and spacious interior spaces do not apply pressure.
The bedrooms are made small, since only a small room can warm up to a comfortable temperature in the cold season, when there are bitter frosts on the street and the northern winds are noisy. Stairs to houses using Norwegian technology are being built small size, because the main thing they are valued for is functionality and ease of use.
The main features of the house in the Norwegian style are such qualities as solidity and reliability.
Ordinary Norwegian houses are made of massive logs, have small windows, wood spillways, facades are painted in bright colors, for example, colors such as green and orange, blue or bright red are popular.
Sometimes the facade is brown, gray, black, but the trim on the windows should always be decorated and bright. This is used to make the house delight and improve the mood of people looking at it. A traditional element of a Norwegian-style house, without a doubt, can be a grass roof, which is also called "Green".
It not only looks very interesting, but also practical, because due to the air gap that forms around the grass stalks, temperature fluctuations are softened. The sound insulation of the house thanks to the roof increases markedly. Moreover, the roof becomes another source of oxygen, which has a positive effect on the environment.
And in the hot season, under such a roof, you can not be afraid of overheating, since the temperature at the roots of the grass does not rise above 0 degrees. Using this roofing technology, it is worth making its high-quality waterproofing.
The advantages of such structures are their durability and reliability.
All lumber that is used in construction is carefully checked in advance with their own hands in order to identify hidden defects. Saving heat and sound insulation, which distinguishes Norwegian wooden houses, are always at the proper high level.
The carriages must be connected in a special way, which bears the name of the Norwegian Castle. Its use allows you to ensure uniform shrinkage of the house. The instructions for building a house do not imply the stage of insulating the joints between the logs.
NORWEGIAN INTERIOR, DESIGN INSTRUCTIONS
This style requires fairly bright colors that will be as different from each other as possible.
Natural materials should also be present in it, but at the same time, modesty is the main component of the design of the interior space of a Norwegian-style house.
Interior design features:
With all this, frame houses, built according to Norwegian technology, turn out to be very spacious inside. This becomes possible due to the fact that only the most necessary furniture is present in such rooms.
If you intend to build a chalet, then it must have a clear functional division of the premises.
Cold light colors can be diluted with warm colors. Mandatory is the presence of wooden natural elements in the interior. Textiles also find wide use in the Norwegian style.
The floor and ceiling, of course, should be decorated only from natural wood. Light fluffy carpets will look good on it. Furniture, as well as these interior elements, should mainly be made of wood.
Functionality is required condition Norwegian interior. Norway and other Scandinavian countries are distinguished precisely by the fact that a large number of forests are located on their territory. Wood cutting and carving has been one of the dominant occupations of Norwegians for many centuries. That is why the tree is given such a dominant role in the construction and decoration of houses.
A distinctive feature of these decorative elements is the image of dragons on them.
Particular attention is paid to interior lighting. Natural lighting is highly valued, so the windows in this style are used quite wide, and the curtains on them should be light and bright. But natural light in the harsh Scandinavian lands is quite rare.
In this regard, the interior is widely used Various types lamps:
Floor lamps.
Table lamps.
Spotlights on metal frame or on a string.
Norwegian house designs are extremely popular today. Decorative elements are mainly made out of various pagan images; they can also be applied to clothes and temple decorations.
Unfortunately, over time, the architects of the Scandinavian countries gradually began to move from their national style to the styles that came from Europe - classicism and baroque. But still, some masters managed to keep distinctive features Norwegian style.
Today, this style, along with the Swedish direction, combines Newest technologies in interior design with natural, environmentally friendly materials. It should be noted that this project is suitable both for the design of a private house and an apartment. The main thing is that the rooms in the room are spacious.
Concerning color solution, then the most suitable are pale and cold shades such as:
Light blue.
White.
Light yellow.
Ivory.
In order for these shades not to seem so lifeless, designers advise using a texture paint with which they will be mixed. In order for the room to be warm and cozy, it is necessary to install wooden objects in it. The textiles of Swedish and Norwegian interiors should always be bright and contrasting. It welcomes floral patterns and an ornament of small and large cells.
At the same time, blue and white colors, of course, should prevail in textile elements, and much less often you need to try to use a combination, for example, red and white. The walls of the bathroom require additional comfort and warmth, so it is better to decorate them with wide light boards, rather than ordinary ceramic tiles.
An obligatory element of a bathroom in this style is, perhaps, a large mirror, not enclosed in a frame. It can also be placed in almost every room of your house or apartment. The Norwegian interior requires wood finishes not only on the walls, but also on the ceiling and floor.
Floor boards must be bleached in a special way to create a faded effect. To the tree in Scandinavian interiors, materials such as:
Brick.
A natural stone.
The walls can also be decorated with images in this style. An indispensable attribute of the Norwegian interior is the use of a large amount of greenery. But if you do not like to install fresh flowers at home, then this move can be beaten in other ways.
For example, great solution will be painted on the ceiling and walls. Looks pretty impressive climbing plant, gradually sliding from the ceiling to the wall. It does not need to be watered, fed, cleaned of dust and washed.
This will be of interest to you:
Two-pipe heating system with bottom wiring: a scheme that will help save
Rules and techniques for pruning conifers
In addition, such a green plant, which, perhaps, will also bloom constantly, will not wither and will not die. Unless every few years it will be necessary to correct the image. Another, too, quite effective option would be gluing paintings to walls and ceilings. This material does not fade in the sun, is not erased, so the choice in its favor will be absolutely right, especially since the price of such stickers is low. published

Norwegian houses - projects and technologies
Norwegian construction technology
The Norwegian house, by its type, is a cottage. The technology of its construction can rightly be called unique and special. But the fact is that during the construction they use wooden materials and special equipment - a gun carriage. The feature of building using Norwegian technology is that the craftsmen make its connection according to a special principle, the so-called "Norwegian castle". This technology is used only in Norwegian construction, so this principle can really be considered exclusive. Moreover, it is this lock that makes the house reliable and durable.
Carriage and "Norwegian Castle"
As it was written above, thanks to this connection technique, the "lock" snaps into place and, as a result, the components of the structure are tightly connected to each other, which gives the structure greater strength. Many people know that wooden houses are reformed under the influence of temperature and pressure. But with a Norwegian house, this rule does not apply, it involves designing a house, which attracts customers even more. Moreover, when connecting logs to each other, they completely block the flow of air and water into the house. This feature helps to avoid additional work with joints of logs, since the house will already be strong and warm for its inhabitants. As for the gun carriage, specialists in Norway carefully deal with it, so it looks neat and beautiful. Consequently, you, again, do not have to process it or carry out any work that will require additional finance. Moreover, the carriage plays the role of a filter in the house. As a result, the Norwegian house is not only reliable, but also, from an economic point of view, inexpensive.
Construction of a Norwegian house
The house itself, of course, stands on the foundation. To prevent the Norwegian house from moving anywhere after time, professionals use dowels - large wooden nails, with the help of which the logs are fastened and the house is tightened. In addition to pins, no nails are used when building a house according to the Norwegian principle, which is also characteristic feature of this technology. In addition, the roof is ideally suited to the log house, so the whole house looks organic and neat.
The main advantage of the Norwegian house is a large interior area, in which, thanks to wooden materials, warm even on cold winter days.
Norwegian house design
It is not surprising that the Norwegian house appealed to many residents of the northern part Russian Federation due to its characteristics and properties. As for the style of the house, there are many different designs. Moreover, you have the opportunity not only to order a finished project, but also to create your own house design to your taste and budget. In any case, as a result, you will get a well-built durable house that will conquer with its unusualness. By the way, after building a Norwegian house, you can decorate it with exquisite details, such as beams or wood carvings.
As for the interior of the Norwegian house, there is no less a large assortment. Using the services of a designer, you can plan your space according to your preferences on a special computer program.
As you can see, Norwegian houses have a lot of advantages, which is why customers love them so much. The construction technique is reliable and proven, which guarantees a long service life of the house. Moreover, the price of construction cannot but rejoice, as it fully corresponds to the quality of work.

Norwegian houses: technology, design
Norwegian houses are great for the cold climate that is observed in our country in the northwestern part. Norwegian house combines reasonable price, high quality, functionality and centuries-old traditions.
The Norwegian house is a type of cottage made by a unique hand-cutting technology. To create it, wooden elements, unusual for Russians, are used in the form of a half-beam, a gable log and a gun carriage. This carriage is connected during construction original way, which is commonly called the "Norwegian castle". This technology is considered exclusive and unique.
Due to this method of connection, at the moment of shrinkage of the structure, the gun carriage becomes denser and the “lock” seems to snap into place in the cut. As a result, the joints are "soldered" together. Therefore, the structure is durable, reliable, warm and with a long service life. The logs in the house do not turn under the pressure that forms inside the building. Moreover, the joints of the logs become impervious to moisture and air. As a result, there is no need for a caulk. Another gun carriage from Norway is famous for its excellent aesthetic component, so it does not require finishing. If there is no need to carry out so many intermediate works, then the structure is economically viable.
Norwegian houses are distinguished by a solid interior space. They are always warm and dry. The walls of the building are erected directly on the foundation. For this purpose, pins made of high-quality wood are used. They increase the degree of rigidity of the house and reduce the risk of longitudinal displacement. Buildings created using Norwegian technology exclude the use of nails. The frame is organically connected to the roof and as a result a single structure is formed. The legs and the horse have fairly long extensions.
How houses are designed
Nowadays, many Russian citizens living in a cold climate zone have appreciated all the charm and dignity of Norwegian houses. Today, diverse projects of buildings of this type are being created. Each such project involves the creation of a solid cottage, made of super-quality material. The house looks unusual and spectacular, especially if it is decorated with voluminous beams and exquisite lace carvings.
Today you can not only use finished project, but also to order it according to the taste and size of the customer's wallet. As a result, the house will be built taking into account all the wishes of the potential owner. Project developers offer their customers a variety of interior layout models to choose from. The customer is free to choose the best. Correction of the internal arrangement is carried out using a special computer program.
Why people choose Norwegian houses
The carriage, as already mentioned, has a lot of advantages. In its appearance, it strongly resembles an innovative glued beam. However, glued beams are not distinguished by their ability to "breathe" effectively. But the carriage wonderfully filters the air currents. Another gun carriage from Norway has great aesthetics and looks quite respectable. It is distinguished by its ability to maintain a balance of price and quality.
Norwegian houses are known on all continents for their reliability, durability, beauty and quality. The technology of their construction has been tested for centuries. Therefore, today many individual developers choose such houses, which, in addition, perfectly retain heat and have a solid service life.

| A 19th-century Norwegian house from the coastal regions is practically no different from the houses of its northern European neighbors. Simple forms, acute-angled roofs, tiled roof. The white color of a Norwegian house in the 19th century spoke of the wealth of a Norwegian homeowner: imported white paint cost seventy times more than red ocher, made from local raw materials. Therefore, most Scandinavian houses had (and have) a characteristic red-brown ocher color. White paint was bought only for platbands. However, there was also an option when only the main facade of the Norwegian house was painted white. |
The post-war (WWII) Norwegian house is notable for its laconic forms and modest size. However, restraint and frugality have always been characteristic of the Norwegians. The Norwegian house is first of all convenient, rational and inexpensive in construction and operation. In a Norwegian house, as a rule, there is nothing superfluous. This applies to both external decoration and interiors, which we will talk about separately. |
|
| Post-war Norwegian houses were small and often prefabricated with wood paneling. Above is a plan of a typical post-war Norwegian house (1949). The plan shows a characteristic feature of all Norwegian houses: the combination of the kitchen and dining room into one space. |
After the war, Norwegians began to enjoy special love at home in american style ranch. There are several explanations for this love for this type of houses. First, at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, about 800,000 Norwegians emigrated to the United States. After the Second World War, many of them or their descendants returned to Norway, bringing with them the most widespread post-war architectural style of mass housing in the United States. Interestingly, there are currently more Norwegians living in the US than in Norway itself. |
|
| Secondly, the layout of the ranch-style house was very well liked by the Norwegians: after all, squat elongated houses with a large common living room combined with a kitchen and dining room, with small bedrooms - this is nothing more than a modern interpretation of the classic Norwegian "long" viking houses. The picture shows the layout of a modern Norwegian "almost-long" house. |
The predecessors of the "long" houses of the Norwegian Vikings were houses, the roof of which was built from an inverted "long" Viking boat. Therefore, the shape of the roof of the "long" Norwegian house has retained the traditional shape of the boat. The walls of the house were made of hewn logs placed vertically (barrel wall). Initially, the Norwegian "long" house was not divided into rooms (cattle were also kept there), but in the process of evolution of these houses they began to block out small bedrooms. The tradition of small bedrooms, which are easy to heat, has been preserved in Norwegian homes to this day. |
|
| In the Middle Ages, the traditional Norwegian longhouse was transformed from a frame structure into a typical Norwegian log house. In terms of layout, it was the same "long" house with a barn for cattle adjacent to the house. The traditional black color, which has migrated to modern Norwegian houses, is the color of tree resin, which was used to protect wood. |
Norwegian "long" house in a modern (XX century) two-story interpretation in classic Norwegian colors: ocher and white. |
|
| There are two categories of houses in Norway: houses for permanent residence and holiday homes in the mountains ("dachas" in our Russian sense). Some Norwegian holiday homes look like full-fledged residential buildings - they can only be distinguished by a flagpole with a Norwegian pennant. When the homeowner comes to rest, the pennant is raised on the flagpole. However, most Norwegian "dachas" continue the tradition of old small shepherd's houses in the mountains, where women with children went in the summer to graze cattle and prepare supplies for the winter. For many Norwegians, summer living in a mountain lodge is the happiest period of their childhood. |
In some Norwegian country houses owners deliberately do not conduct electricity (although it is available almost everywhere - in Norway the state helps, rather than hinders the electrification of houses, does not introduce "social norms" for electricity consumption, does not kill small businesses with huge fines for "non-contractual" consumption of electricity, etc.) The fact is that Norwegians during their weekends want to be closer to nature and recreate the authentic atmosphere of antiquity in their houses. In places where it is really impossible to supply electricity (high in the mountains), Norwegians install systems autonomous home (solar panels) and bring gas in cylinders. here you can read about simple autonomous Norwegian home systems. |
|
| So big and rich country houses as pictured - relatively rare in Norway. As in other Scandinavian countries, in Norway it is considered bad manners to boast of one's wealth and build odious castle-like palaces. A large and rich house will have exactly the same constructive solution as an ordinary house: a frame, insulated mineral wool, sheathed with painted unplaned board: the Norwegian house is simple and functional. |
If the owner's owner has more financial resources, then his house may be larger than that of the average Norwegian (average salary - more than 3000 euros per month). A wealthy Norwegian homeowner would rather invest not in the size of the house and a five-meter-high fence (there are practically no fences in Norway), but in good architecture and get one of the modern Norwegian architectural masterpieces (in the picture, the work of the Norwegian architectural bureau WRB Architects), and not like the variegated fairy-tale castles from a bad parody of Disneyland, which are so often found in the vastness of our country. |
|
| In 1972, the Norwegian Council of Ministers decided not to develop the construction of multi-storey buildings in Norway. Therefore, instead of concrete high-rise buildings, nice two-story townhouses or private houses were built in Norway. Such houses do not need grandiose thermal power plants, colossal heat pipelines and other not the most economically rational utility solutions, of which modern Russia has become a hostage. |
Contrary to popular belief, log houses made from traditional Norwegian gun carriages are not so widespread in Norway. In residential development, you will meet literally a few of them. Most of the houses from the gun carriage of the Norwegian felling are found in the form of cottages for recreation. The reason, apparently, is in the innate practicality of the Norwegians: wooden frame houses are much more energy efficient than a log thinned from the sides by a fire monitor. |
|
| The vast majority of Norwegian houses are built according to frame technology. Ground or ground floor can be cast from monolithic concrete or composed of concrete or expanded clay concrete blocks, if the house stands on a relief difference. The second floor will still be frame. Brick or gas-expanded clay and other concrete houses are practically not built. In conditions of high humidity, frequent temperature changes, these materials do not behave as well as frame structure. Yes, and insurance brick houses much more expensive... |
As you can see in the picture, Norwegian frame houses are not built from 150 x 150 timber, as solid domestic builders like to do. The strength of the frame is due not only to the thickness of its elements, but to the single configuration of the frame as a whole. The dry plank of the frame of a Norwegian house will not lead like a damp beam. Such a frame of a Norwegian house will not shrink. Naturally, all elements of the frame of a Norwegian house are treated with antiseptics, which we also often ignore in the usual building race "faster-even faster". |
|
| Norwegian houses are mainly insulated with glass wool from the local Glava company. Insulation thickness standards: roof and walls 20 cm. Present on the Norwegian insulation market and ecowool. In some variants of wall insulation, a 198 mm thick insulation + an inner layer of 50 mm insulation is used. |
Modern Norwegian (Scandinavian) houses built according to the advanced standards of a passive house (houses with zero energy consumption for heating or houses with energy consumption up to 10% of the energy consumption of an ordinary house) can have a heater thickness of up to 50 cm. |
|
| The walls of the vast majority of Norwegian houses - both private and public - are finished in the same way: sheathing with RAW boards and multi-layer painting. The main colors of the walls of the Norwegian house: white, ocher, black, brown. The Norwegians conducted research and found that unplaned wood, unlike planed wood, absorbs paint better and resists the effects of natural weather factors much better than planed painted wood. And here everyone sheathes the walls with a planed blockhouse and wonders why the paint (antiseptic) begins to peel off from it after 5 years ... |
The wall cladding of a Norwegian house is made with a plank horizontally (ship type) or vertically (barrel type cladding). |
|
| The main types of foundations in Norway are an insulated Scandinavian (Swedish) slab and a shallow strip foundation with monolithic slab covering the first floor. |
The foundation on the slopes, when there is a possibility of backwater from the slope, must be protected with a wall drainage membrane. do not forget about wall underground drainage. |
|
| Basically, the roof of a Norwegian house is a natural material. The least common in Norway are rolled bituminous roofs, bituminous tiles and as a class there is practically no ondulin. Slate roofing is very common on Norwegian homes, as Norway produces its own slate. However, in our country there is slate, only beautiful and durable slate roofs in it, for some reason, are not observed ... |
Wooden roofing is a rather rare option in Norway. Most often, wooden roofing can be seen on Norwegian holiday homes or tourist sites. Although, a properly arranged and treated with antiseptics, a wooden roof is no less durable than any ondulin in the homeland with a guaranteed service life of 15 years. |
|
| One of the most common roofing options for a Norwegian house is a simple ceramic or ceramic glazed tile. |
Traditional Norwegian inverted green roofing is also most commonly found on Norwegian holiday homes or tourist/public buildings. In the photo: the concert hall near the house of Edvard Grieg in Bergen. |
|
| Unlike Sweden, where tiled or steel seam roofing reigns, metal tiles are widespread in Norway. Almost all metal-tiled roofs of Norwegian houses are black: this is how the roof of a Norwegian house warms up better and the snow melts off it faster. |
Metal tiles on Norwegian houses are not used simple, but with a protective layer of basalt chips: this layer protects the roof better from UV rays and climatic factors. |
|
| Some types of basalt-coated metal tiles are difficult to distinguish from natural tiles in appearance. Please note that the nails of the metal tile are hammered exclusively along the end surfaces of the sheets - this reduces the likelihood of leakage of the roof of a Norwegian house. |
High-quality cement-sand tiles look no worse than natural ceramic tiles, but are much cheaper. |
|
| Outbuildings at Norwegian houses are covered with steel slate - and here there was no place for ondulin. |
There are Norwegian houses with a seam steel roof. But most of all seam roofing is in Sweden and Finland (the picture shows a Finnish house from the Seurasaari park in Helsinki). |
|
| The most ingenious version of a cheap and durable roof: reinforced fiber-reinforced concrete casting dyed in mass from a sheet of ordinary metal tiles. I saw such a roof in a single copy - apparently, this is the know-how of the homeowner. |
Heating of a modern Norwegian house is most often electric convectors and warm electric floors. Traditionally, fireplaces and cast-iron potbelly stoves are installed in houses, which can quickly heat the house. The chimneys of a modern Norwegian house are most often the Shidel chimney (a ceramic modular pipe in basalt insulation inside expanded clay concrete block). by far the safest and robust construction chimney. |
|
| Old brick chimneys are restored by lining them with a stainless steel bellows pipe or composite stainless steel sleeves. The design of the chimneys of a Norwegian house is traditional: a flat sheet of slate on four stones or bricks, which is pressed on top with cobblestones. There are options for concrete composite deflectors for chimney as in the previous picture. |
Ventilation is brought to the roof with the help of steel "chimneys" - plastic on the roof of a Norwegian house is not held in high esteem. There are options for organizing the ventilation of a Norwegian house, when several ventilation ducts come out into one such extended cap, which is ventilated at the top point. |
|
| In the living rooms of Norwegian houses, windows are made panoramic: without bindings and the maximum possible size, so that sitting in the living room you can feel unity with the surrounding landscape. |
The interior coloring of the Norwegian house is a continuation of the surrounding nature, which enters the Norwegian house through the panoramic windows. You can read about the features of the modern Norwegian interior in a separate article. |
|
| Solid fences around a Norwegian house are extremely and extremely rare - only in cases where they cannot be dispensed with: for example, next to a busy highway. In all other cases, if it is required to hide the Norwegian house from prying eyes, a live green hedge. In most cases, the fences around Norwegian houses are simply missing or made in the traditional European style of fences. |
The area around the Norwegian house is marked, if necessary, with a low picket fence or a low grid. I hope you enjoyed my story about Norwegian houses. Read the article about small cottages in Swedish Now you can watch how to build a Norwegian gazebo or read how to make your house fireproof. |

Projects of Norwegian houses from a carriage: the interior of a carriage house
Before starting to build a house, the developer faces a dilemma of what material to build a house from so that it is beautiful and cozy. Recently, many private developers prefer the construction of houses from a gun carriage. Such houses turn out to be quite durable, retain heat well and organically fit into the landscape of a suburban area.
The project of a one-story house from a gun carriage in the Norwegian style Wooden houses from a bar can be built using various technologies and from different forest species. This article describes in detail the projects of wooden houses from a gun carriage, designed according to Norwegian technology. Projects of gun carriage houses with Norwegian lock technology differ from houses made of profiled and glued beams by a special assembly method and wall thickness. This technology came to us from Norway, where, as you know, the climate is cold and housing requirements are quite high.

Varieties of projects of houses from a gun carriage
Wooden houses from a gun carriage were built in the distant past and remain in demand today.
Project two-story house from the gun carriage However, with the development of architectural design and technology, current projects are distinguished by their external aesthetics and the ability to become a solid family nest for many years to come.
One-story houses from a gun carriage
One-story houses made of gun carriages are popular in the form of buildings for year-round use or for country holidays.
Projects one-story houses can be implemented in various styles and have a usable area from 75 to 200 sq. m. The basis of such projects may include classic square boxes with a gable or hipped roof.
Popular projects are houses made of gun carriages using Norwegian technology, where a special log preparation is used. It is preferable to build houses from a dry gun carriage. This will help avoid problems with shrinkage and fungus on the wood. Before the implementation of the project, the type of wood is usually selected.
The project of a one-story house from a gun carriage with an attic Good Norwegian houses are made from cedar, however, some choose alternative species. One-story buildings are not necessarily designed in the form of classic boxes. Modern projects offers wooden houses various forms and stylistic trends. Regardless of the fact that the house is designed from a cedar log house and has characteristic projections of logs at the corners of the box, it can be built in the following styles:
- Modern;
- Chalet;
- Provence;
- Country.
The listed styles of architecture are unusually combined with the gun carriage. However, with properly designed geometry, it is possible to build housing that differs in shape from classic projects. One-story houses from a hand-cut carriage can be built with your own hands, however, it will be easier to build a small one. Vacation home with a small area.
One-story house from a gun carriage in the Norwegian style It all depends on the time and skill of the person. If you wish, you can develop a simplified house project, but with a larger area, in which case it will be much easier to lay a fire monitor with your own hands, since there will be no need to understand complex drawings. The shape, area and style of a one-story fire monitor can depend on the budget. In some projects, there may be large panoramic windows or tempered glass slide doors. All these factors do not reduce the cost of construction.
On a note:
- Houses built from a gun carriage can not be insulated, since walls 20-25 centimeters thick retain heat well.
Two-story houses from a gun carriage
Two-story houses in the Norwegian style look aristocratic and attract attention. The unusual shape of the timber and the technology of their assembly make the log house durable and warm, even if it is built on two floors. Architectural design of the house, as in the example with one-story house, is not limited to the Norwegian style.
However, country-style design projects look aesthetically pleasing when external architectural forms can reflect a narrowly focused style.
The project of a two-story house from a cedar carriage can be made in the traditional Russian style, which may include carved columns and exclusively wooden frames with handmade patterns. Such a traditional log house can become pride and at the same time a place of relaxation. However, the cost of such construction can be unlimited by the average budget.
The project of a two-story frame from a gun carriage As an alternative to all unusual and costly projects, you can build a house with an attic. Such a structure can be erected with your own hands, it does not require a heavy strip foundation and complex calculations with the shape of the box and roof. Tip:
- Carriage houses can be built not only from cedar, but also from coniferous wood, such as larch or pine.
Advantages and disadvantages of carriage houses
A carriage house has pros and cons, although there are not so many negative qualities, but they exist, as in all building materials and construction technologies.
- Compared to a rounded log, a carriage house should be built from dry wood and must be treated with building antiseptics for wood.
- Construction is only in the spring or summer season, since in most cases, the log houses are treated with antiseptics already after the walls have been erected. However, this disadvantage can be attributed to almost all building materials, since the warm months of the year are considered the main time for construction.
- With inaccurate cutting of cups for locks and with uneven fit of the beam into the cups, microcracks may form on the gun carriages over time. These will be surface cracks that will not affect the thermal qualities of the house, but appearance it can spoil the interior.
Interior and exterior of houses from a gun carriage
The conciseness and thoughtful design of the house is a guarantee of comfort and have a nice rest in the house. When it comes to Norwegian-style gun carriage houses, it may seem that nothing can be added to wood, and it itself creates a unique design. This is partly true, however, not everyone is satisfied with the classic decoration of internal and facade walls.
Facade
The facade of a house made of cedar carriage is left unfinished by many developers and this can be considered right decision. However, you can give a peculiar shade to the wood with the help of special impregnations. Usually, impregnation includes color and antiseptic, which prevents the development of fungi in wood. Thus, the facade of the house can be given a dark or light color, depending on the design project of the mansion. Carriage made of cedar does not need insulation and additional finishing.
The project layout and facade of a one-story cottage from a gun carriage in the Norwegian style Oval hewn logs after laying create a decorative effect, which is a decoration of the house and a solid wall. In some avant-garde projects, hand-cut patterns on the gun carriage are provided. Various patterns or a certain ornament are carved on the walls from the side of the main entrance. But such a design is far from suitable for everyone, since mainly classical buildings are a priority, the facade of which does not need to be decorated with patterns.
Interior
The interior and decor of the cedar house can be decorated with your own hands. In order for the house to be comfortable and cozy, you should think through everything to the smallest detail. In many design projects, a fireplace is included in the interior of the house. It complements the wooden walls and succinctly blends with the overall decor.
Variant of the interior of the house from the gun carriage Some private developers are installing in country houses electric fireplaces, however, professional designers it is advised to mount a real wood fireplace, as it will positively emphasize the idea and aesthetics of the design.
Wall decoration design can be chosen by the developer, however, it is worth noting that the living room will look good with unfinished wooden walls. On a carriage made of cedar or other wood, some time after laying, spider web cracks can form, which give unusual patterns to the wood, changing its external structure. This natural design will go well with a fireplace and carved wood furniture.
Projects where the living room is combined with the kitchen are quite popular, and are separated only visually. The interior, planned as a studio, is comfortable, and a single wood wall finish will not be boring if the living room and kitchen areas are separated by different lighting techniques. The kitchen can be lit with bright chandeliers, and the light in the living room can be slightly dimmed. Ceiling decoration in the interior can be combined with stretch acrylic canvases, or it can also remain in a wood style.
The interior of a wooden house made of gun carriage is considered a classic and the personification of the hearth. It should not be overloaded with a large number of accessories and other attributes. Wood structure can replace the best finish for walls. 
IN wooden houses you can radically change the interior, finish all the walls with gypsum boards, wallpaper or paint. However, the tree itself has a beautiful shape and structure, and in rare cases needs a decorative finish.
A variant of the interior design of a cottage from a gun carriage - The flooring in the house from the gun carriage is best to choose natural, any hardwood will do. And also natural parquet looks good in a wooden interior.
