Norwegian house projects. Norwegian wooden houses. Viking house
If you offer a Norwegian to build a house from gas silicate, he will most likely be very surprised: why build from blocks? Most of the descendants of the Vikings live in frame houses. And they have no phobias about mice in insulation or walls blown down by the wind. Maybe they are building in a different way? We talked with a man who spent 8 years in Norway on construction sites. He says that Norwegian frame house and Belarusian are indeed different.
Reason for surprise
Maxim left to work in Norway in 2008. There he quickly found an application for himself - he got a job in a company 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 their popularity. Maxim opened a small company, which, naturally, is engaged in the construction of frame houses.
- In Norway, very profitable loans are issued for construction for a very long period, - says Maxim. - Therefore the cost finished house 300 thousand euros does not scare anyone here. Naturally, their materials are more expensive, the work of a builder is much higher.
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 of those that would stick 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 cost half the price. How can a dacha be sold at the price of a house?
What is the difference between Norwegian and Belarusian frames?
Viking house
Photo damdom.bel Norwegians live in small houses, 130 -170 squares. Doraga and Bagata are not built here. Outwardly, these are ordinary one-story houses with an attic. The height of the ceilings in a 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 the volume of the house with low ceilings is less, it is easier and cheaper to heat it. Standard layout: open area on the ground floor with kitchen, dining room and living room, on the second floor - bedrooms.
Warm foundation
It's hard to believe, but the Norwegians do not deeply deepen the foundations for their houses. How it all happens: a bulldozer arrives and removes the vegetation from the building spot. Gravel or crushed stone (not sand!) Is filled in, rammed. Next, a reinforced concrete pillow 20 cm high and 60 cm wide is made under the walls. Further, it is not at all our way - hollow polystyrene foam blocks are installed around the perimeter. They are connected to each other with a special lock. From the outside, the block is already finished. Concrete is poured inside the cavities. Insulated tape is immediately obtained.
Foundation block
However, this is not all - rubble 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 reinforcement 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 - expanded polystyrene over 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 has not seen pile foundations in Norway - maybe because their soils are often rocky. Well, or for the reason that with a pile foundation it is difficult to make a warm floor, but it is almost mandatory in Norwegian houses.
- The fact is that frame houses are low-inertia, - explains Maxim. - That is, they quickly heat up, but also cool down quickly without a working heating system. And the concrete floor serves as an excellent heat accumulator. Moreover, in the Norwegian frame one 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 bar with a cross section of more than 150 mm is used, it will also be glued.
Sectional wall The rigidity of the frame is provided by the jibs and the upper carrying transom. All building materials are produced under standard sizes... For example, between the centers of the frame racks - 60 cm, between the racks - a distance of 55 cm. Therefore, all heaters have a width of 57.5 cm - 2.5 cm is compressed. It does not need to be cut, it fits snugly between the frame posts. The material for finishing is a multiple of 60 - 1.20 m, 2.4 m. There is practically no waste. In our country, manufacturers do not work for frame house standards - there is no standard frame. The entire construction site is adjusted to the dimensions of the building materials.
MDVP boards 
An interesting nuance - Norwegians do not use impregnations for wooden frame elements - and they build frames without antiseptics.
The Norwegian carcass cake is also different from ours. It obeys the main rule - vapor permeability must increase from the inside out. The role of hydro-wind protection is performed by slab material - MDVP (soft fiber board). (You can also buy it from us - Steico, Beltermo, Izoplat). For external walls, wax-impregnated materials are used. As a rule, slabs have a thickness of 30 mm, they are attached from the outside to the frame posts. In addition to the fact that this is the protection of insulation in the walls, MDVP is an additional layer of insulation. Further, according to Norwegian norms, the outside walls are sheathed with waterproof plasterboard. Then through the rail - wooden facade from unplaned boards. This is the most common finish. Why not planed? To make the paint better penetrate the wood. Such facades are repainted every 10 years.
Lathing for a wooden facade on moisture-resistant plasterboard 
Special "comb" to prevent rodents from entering the ventilation gap From the inside, the walls are standardly sewn up with a vapor barrier with glued 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 recuperation. This is the only way, 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 plasterboard frame cladding on both sides is the fire safety standards of Norway (such standards apply 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 care very much about heat conservation - new houses are being built using passive house technologies, with minimal energy consumption.
The windows in the houses are entirely wooden. Plastic can only be found in administrative buildings. And even profiles wooden windows here they do with a thermal break.
Another nuance is the design of external window sills You will not see our beloved metal roofing on houses in Norway. Metal, with the exception of a high-quality fold, is not in honor here. But what they really love here is. Because it is heavy, and, of course, cheaper than ceramic.
How do Norwegians warm themselves?
Norway is a gas producing country, but most private houses are heated with electricity. Gas is very expensive compared to electricity. In addition, they have a widespread farm system of settlements, and the supply of gas to each farm costs a lot of money. But the Norwegians practically do not count kilowatts - thanks to the many hydro and wind power plants, the country has a surplus and it is cheap. This is evidenced by the fact that the Norwegians, even during the day, "forget" to turn off the facade lighting. Norway is actively switching to electric vehicles, and the state encourages this - soft loans for purchase, free charging, parking and freeway. Therefore, there are probably so many Tesla cars in the country.
In the near future, we will tell you how the Norwegians are repairing frame houses that have stood for more than 40 years.
How our houses are different
from the rest?
Your home will be warm
We guarantee that the house built according to our project will be warm. Our houses are fully compliant with SNiP. "Incorrect" bay windows, balconies, extra cuttings in the walls and some other elements can also lead to heat leaks. But the main reason for heat loss is wall blowing due to an incorrect profile of the longitudinal groove on a log or bar, or due to unprofessional assembly. We make sure our houses 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 additional bedroom, windows, increase or decrease the premises. We are happy to implement the wishes of our clients in the project. But we can also refuse changes if they are not consistent 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 up to 200,000 rubles on construction.
With our project, you are guaranteed to save on building a house - up to 200,000 rubles for the construction of a 200-meter house.
The placement of engineering networks is already thought out
Accommodation is well thought out in our projects engineering networks... If this is not done in advance, then later you will have to use equipment of non-standard sizes, which usually costs more. Or it will be necessary to install additional boxes in a visible place and their subsequent decoration.
Optimal furniture arrangement
Our projects are based on a competent arrangement of furniture. This eliminates errors in planning the size of the premises, the location of window and door openings. If this is not done during the design, then, for example, due to improper placement of a door or window, you will not have enough 10-30 centimeters for the location of 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 the built houses and see the result of their creativity “not on paper”. 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 felling, 6-meter logs are used. The logs are cut into elements. When cutting, a 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 the deviation tends to zero. This allows you to significantly reduce the cost of a log house. Therefore, the exact dimensions of the premises are very important, and a change in size even by 20 cm can lead to a large waste, and, therefore, an increase in cost.
Norwegian-style houses differ from modern buildings not only in the material used, but also in the construction process. All of them are being built using environmentally friendly material - wood. Used in construction,
Typical Norwegian wooden house
If the first two types of timber have been known to everyone for a long time, then the carriage began to appear relatively recently in our country. What is he like? This is a log that has a semi-oval shape.
This method of wood processing has 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 a flat surface of the material indoors, and a 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,
- quite easily lends itself to finishing work.
In countries with a harsh winter climate,. Such work is carried out outside and inside at the same time. This is not difficult.
But for a Norwegian house, this will not need to be done, since according to 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 or. The Norwegian layout differs from ours in that it involves a rather 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 are built using Norwegian technology in a square or rectangular shape, one-story and two-story. Everything will depend on the scale of the building and the functionality assigned to the house.
Small Norwegian House Project The roof of a Norwegian house does not slope too much, 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 house construction
Norwegian homes have become popular for more than just wood. This material was used in the construction of houses in Russia. It's all about the laying of the timber and the construction technology itself. An important role in the finishing of building materials is played by tree felling, which can be carried out using special equipment or manually. In the latter version, it is possible to use hand tool when the technique cannot cope with the finish.
All houses using Norwegian technology have a very massive and fundamental look, since large logs are used in the construction. It is worth considering that Norwegian houses are of a small type and, accordingly, there are small windows in it. In such a house, everything is made of wood, even the weirs.
The houses are quite brightly decorated. Previously, black, gray and brown were used as primary colors.
At the moment, in Norway, the following are used in the decoration of houses:
- green,
- orange,
- blue,
- bright red.
Modern technologies for the production roofing materials became more perfect, but, despite this, great importance in such an environmentally friendly building has a roof, in those parts it is grassy. It not only helps to normalize the temperature regime in the house, but also creates an oxygen cushion - the structure is constantly breathing. Also, the "green" roof protects the house from freezing in winter, and in summer, when the sun hits it, it helps to protect the house from overheating.
One-storey house built using Norwegian technology with a grassy green roof Council. 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 Norwegian frame 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 \u200b\u200bthe house.
If earlier all frame houses, which were built using Norwegian technology, had one floor, then over time they began to turn into full-fledged two-story buildings, in which several families could fit.
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 cover it. This is done with a gun carriage or bar. 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.
Insulation technology of a Norwegian frame house Council. In order for the structure to be operated in our climatic conditions for a long period of time, it will be necessary to make a high-quality workpiece for the construction of materials. The quality of the building will depend on them.
Eco-friendly manor: Norwegian-style wooden carriage 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 universally, which makes it possible to use this construction technology in almost any part of the world.

The ability of local residents of Norway to build life in such a way as to have at their disposal the most necessary conditions for a comfortable life, arouses the natural interest of those who are faced with the choice of the design of a country house.
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 have been small houseswhich stood so close that they were one facade of a row of houses. The technology of building and decorating 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 a gun carriage - logs hewn from both sides. For floor coverings and making ceilings use wood slabs or slabs. If you look at the house from the street, it will seem squat.
However, inside it is characterized by ample space, which is achieved by combining the kitchen with the living room, which does not have a straight ceiling. Due to this, the height of the room 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 are spacious indoor spaces do not apply pressure.
Bedrooms are made small, since only a small room in area can warm up to a comfortable temperature in the cold season, when there are bitter frosts outside and the northern winds are noisy. Stairs to houses using Norwegian technology are being built small size, since the main thing for which they are appreciated is functionality and usability.
The main features of a Norwegian-style house are such qualities as solidity and reliability.
Ordinary Norwegian houses are built from massive logs, have small windows, wooden weirs, 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 frames on the windows should always be decorated and bright. This is used to make the house happy and improve the mood of people looking at it. A traditional element of a Norwegian-style house, no doubt, can be a grass roof, which is also called "Green".
It not only looks very interesting, but also practical, as temperature fluctuations are softened due to the air gap that forms around the grass stalks. The sound insulation of the house is significantly increased thanks to the roof. Moreover, the roof becomes another source of oxygen, which has a beneficial 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 grass roots does not rise above 0 degrees. Applying this roof covering 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 distinguish Norwegian wooden housesare 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 at home. The instruction for building a house does not imply the stage of warming the joints between the logs.
NORWEGIAN INTERIOR, DESIGN INSTRUCTIONS
This style requires quite bright colors that will differ from each other as much as possible.
Natural materials should also be present in it, but at the same time, modesty is the main component of the project of the interior space of a Norwegian-style house.
Interior design features:
With all this, frame houses, built using 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 there must be a clear functional division of the premises.
Cold light colors can be diluted with warm paints. The presence of wooden natural elements in the interior is a must. Textiles are also widely used in Norwegian style.
The floor and ceiling, of course, should be decorated only with 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 a must for Norwegian interiors. Norway and other Scandinavian countries are distinguished precisely by the fact that a large number of forests are located on their territory. Chopping and wood carving has been one of the dominant occupations of the Norwegians for centuries. That is why wood is given such a leading 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 light is highly valued, so windows in this style are used wide enough, and the curtains on them should be light and light. But natural light in the harsh Scandinavian lands is quite rare.
In this regard, various types of lamps are widely used in the interior:
Floor lamps.
Table lamps.
Searchlights on a metal frame or on a string.
Norwegian home designs are proving to be extremely popular today. The decorative elements are mainly decorated with a variety of pagan images, they can also be applied to clothing and temple decorations.
Unfortunately, over time, the architects of the Scandinavian countries gradually began to move from their national style to styles that came from Europe - classicism and baroque. Nevertheless, some masters managed to preserve the distinctive features of the Norwegian style.
Today, this style, along with the Swedish direction, combines the latest technology in interior decoration with natural, environmentally friendly materials. It should be noted that this project is suitable for both a private house and an apartment. The main thing is that the rooms in the room are spacious.
Concerning color scheme, then pale and cold shades are the most suitable here, such as:
Light blue.
White.
Light yellow.
Ivory.
In order for these shades not to seem so lifeless, designers are advised to use a textured 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. Floral patterns and ornament from small and large cells are welcome on it.
At the same time, blue and white colors, of course, should prevail in textile elements, and much less often you should try to use a combination of, 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, and not ordinary ceramic tiles.
An obligatory element of a bathroom in this style is, perhaps, a large, unframed mirror. It can also be placed in almost every room of your house or apartment. Norwegian interiors require wood trim not only on the walls, but also on the ceiling and floor.
Floorboards must be bleached in a specific way to create a faded effect. Materials such as the following can be added to wood in Scandinavian interiors:
Brick.
A natural stone.
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 living greenery. But if you do not like to install fresh flowers at home, then this move can be played in other ways.
For instance, excellent solution will be painted on the ceiling and walls. A climbing plant will look quite impressive, gradually sliding from the ceiling to the wall. It does not need to be watered, fed, cleaned from dust and washed.
It will be interesting for you:

Rules and technique for pruning conifers
In addition, such a green plant, which, perhaps, will also bloom constantly, will not wither or die. Unless once every few years the image will need to be corrected. Another quite effective option is gluing canvases on walls and ceilings. This material does not fade in the sun, does not wear off, so the choice in its favor will be absolutely correct, especially since the price of such stickers is low.published

Norwegian houses - projects and technologies
Norwegian building technology
A Norwegian house is, by its type, a cottage. The technology of its construction can rightfully be called unique and special. And the fact is that during construction they use wooden materials and special equipment - a carriage. The special feature of construction 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 particular 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 provides for the design of the house, which attracts customers even more. Moreover, when connecting the logs to each other, they completely block the flow of air and water into the house. This property helps to avoid additional work with the joints of the logs, since the house will already be strong and warm for its inhabitants. As for the carriage, in Norway specialists are carefully engaged in it, so it looks neat and beautiful. Therefore, 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, a Norwegian house is not only reliable, but also economically inexpensive.
Construction of a Norwegian house
The house itself naturally stands on a foundation. To prevent the Norwegian house from moving anywhere over time, professionals use pins - large wooden nails with which the logs are held together and the house is hardened. In addition to dowels, no nails are used when building a house according to the Norwegian principle, which is also characteristic feature this technology. In addition, the roof fits perfectly to the log house, so the whole house looks organic and neat.
The main advantage of the Norwegian house is the large inner territory, in which, thanks to wood materials, warm even on cold winter days.
Designing Norwegian Houses
Not surprisingly, the Norwegian house has attracted many residents of the northern part. Russian Federation due to its characteristics and properties. When it comes to home style, there are many different designs. Moreover, you have the opportunity not only to order a ready-made project, but also to create your own design of a house to your taste and according to your budget. In any case, as a result, you will get a well-built solid house that will conquer with its uniqueness. By the way, after the construction of a Norwegian house, you can decorate it with exquisite details, such as beams or wood carvings.
As for the interior of a Norwegian house, there is an equally large assortment. Using the services of a designer, you can plan your space according to your preferences using a special computer program.
As you can see, Norwegian houses have a lot of advantages, which is why clients love them so much. The construction technique is reliable and proven, which guarantees a long service life of the house. Moreover, the construction price cannot but rejoice, since it fully corresponds to the quality of work.

Norwegian houses: technology, design
Norwegian homes are great for the cold climate that our country has in the northwest. The Norwegian house combines reasonable price, high quality level, functionality and age-old traditions.
The Norwegian House is a type of cottage made with a unique hand-cut 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. During construction, this carriage is connected in an 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 carriage becomes denser and the "lock" seems to snap into the cut-out. As a result, the joints are "soldered" together. Therefore, the structure turns out to be strong, reliable, warm and with a long service life. The logs in the house do not turn due to the pressure generated inside the building. Moreover, the joints of the logs become impervious to moisture and air. As a result, there is no need for caulking. Another carriage from Norway is famous for its excellent aesthetic component, therefore it does not require finishing. If there is no need to carry out so many intermediate work, then the structure turns out to be economically viable.
Norwegian houses have 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 quality wood are used. They increase the rigidity of the house and reduce the risk of longitudinal movement. Buildings built using Norwegian technology exclude the use of nails. The log house is organically connected to the roof and as a result, a single structure is formed. The legs and the horse have rather long stems.
How is the design of houses carried out
Nowadays, many Russian citizens living in the cold climatic zone have appreciated all the charm and dignity of Norwegian houses. Today, various projects of this type of buildings are being created. Each such project involves the creation of a solid cottage made of super quality material. The house looks unusual and impressive, especially if it is decorated with volumetric beams and exquisite lace carving.
Today, you can not only use a ready-made project, but also 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 clients a variety of interior layout models to choose from. The customer is free to choose the best one. Correction of the internal location is carried out using a special computer program.
Why people choose Norwegian homes
The carriage, as already mentioned, has a lot of advantages. In appearance, it strongly resembles an innovative laminated veneer lumber. However, glued laminated timber does not have the ability to breathe effectively. But the gun carriage remarkably filters air flows. Another 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, among other things, perfectly retain heat and have a solid service life.
postroy-prosto.ru
| A 19th-century Norwegian house from the coastal area is virtually indistinguishable from the houses of its northern European neighbors. Simple shapes, angular roofs, tiled roofs. The white color of a Norwegian house in the 19th century spoke of the wealth of a Norwegian homeowner: imported white paint was seventy times more expensive than red ocher made with local raw materials. Therefore, most Scandinavian houses had (and still have) a characteristic reddish-brown ocher color. White paint was bought only for platbands. However, there was also an option when only the main facade of a Norwegian house was painted white. |
The post-war (WWII) Norwegian house is distinguished by its laconic forms and modest dimensions. However, restraint and thrift have always been characteristic of the Norwegians. First of all, a Norwegian house is comfortable, rational and inexpensive to build and operate. 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 in size and were often prefabricated from wood panels. Above is the 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, American-style ranch houses became especially fond of Norwegians. There are several explanations for this love for this type of house. First, at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, about 800 thousand Norwegians emigrated to the United States. After World War II, many of them, or their descendants, returned to Norway, bringing with them the most common post-war architectural style of mass development in the United States. Interestingly, more Norwegians currently live in the US than in Norway itself. |
|
| Secondly, the Norwegians liked the layout of the ranch-style house very well: after all, the 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" houses of the Vikings. The picture shows the layout of a modern Norwegian "near-long" house. |
The predecessors of the Norse Vikings' long houses were houses whose roof was built from an inverted 'long' Viking boat. Therefore, the roof shape of the "long" Norwegian house retained the traditional boat shape. 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 kept there), but in the process of evolution of these houses, small bedrooms began to be fenced in them. The tradition of small bedrooms, which is easy to heat up, is still preserved in Norwegian houses. |
|
| In the Middle Ages, the traditional Norwegian long house was transformed from a frame structure into a typical Norwegian felling. In layout it was the same "long" house with a cattle shed interlocked with the house. The traditional black color, which has also migrated to modern Norwegian homes, is the color of the resin that protected the 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: homes for permanent residence and vacation 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 landlord comes to rest, the pennant is raised on the flagpole. However, most of the Norwegian "dachas" continue the tradition of old small shepherd's houses in the mountains, where women and children went in summer to graze cattle and prepare supplies for the winter. For many Norwegians, summer life in a mountain lodge is the happiest period of their childhood. |
In some Norwegian country houses the owners deliberately do not conduct electricity (although it is available almost everywhere - in Norway the state helps, and does not hinder the electrification of houses, does not introduce "social norms" on electricity consumption, does not kill small businesses with giant fines for "non-contractual" electricity consumption, etc.) The fact is that during their weekends, Norwegians want to be closer to nature and recreate the authentic atmosphere of antiquity in their houses. In places where electricity is really impossible to supply (high in the mountains), the 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 form to boast of their wealth and build odious castles. A large and rich house will have exactly the same constructive solution as an ordinary house: a frame, insulated mineral woolupholstered in a painted, unplaned board: the Norwegian's home is simple and functional. |
If the landlord has more financial resources, then his house may be larger than that of the average Norwegian (average salary is more than 3000 euros per month). A wealthy Norwegian homeowner is more likely to invest money not in the size of the house and the five-meter high fence (there are practically no fences in Norway), but in good architecture and will receive one of the modern Norwegian architectural masterpieces (pictured by the Norwegian architectural bureau WRB Architects), and not a kind of fabulous castles from a bad parody of Disneyland, 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 in Norway, they built nice two-story townhouses or private houses. Such houses do not need grandiose thermal power plants, colossal heating pipelines and other not the most economically rational communal solutions, which modern Russia has become hostage to. |
Contrary to popular belief, chopped wooden houses made from a traditional Norwegian gun carriage are not so widespread in Norway. There are literally a few of them in residential buildings. Most of the houses from the carriage of the Norwegian felling are found in the form of summer cottages for rest. The reason, apparently, is 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 overwhelming majority of Norwegian houses are built on frame technology... The ground or basement floor can be cast from monolithic concrete or is made of concrete or expanded clay concrete blocks, if the house is located on a relief drop. 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 a frame structure. And insurance for 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 determined not so much by the thickness of its elements, but by the single configuration of the frame as a whole. A dry plank of the frame of a Norwegian house will not lead like a raw timber. 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 during the usual construction race "faster-faster". |
|
| Norwegian houses are insulated mainly with glass wool from the local company Glava. Insulation thickness standards: roof and walls 20 cm. Available on the Norwegian market for insulation and ecowool. In some versions of wall insulation, insulation with a thickness of 198 mm + an inner layer of insulation of 50 mm is used. |
Modern Norwegian (Scandinavian) houses built according to promising passive house standards (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 an insulation 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: UNSHEDED board cladding and multi-layer painting. The main colors of the walls of a Norwegian house are white, ocher, black, brown. The Norwegians conducted research and found that unplaned wood, in contrast to planed, absorbs paint better and resists the effects of natural and weather factors much better than planed painted wood. And we all sheathe the walls with a planed blockhouse and lengthen, why after 5 years the paint (antiseptic) begins to peel off from it ... |
The cladding of the walls of a Norwegian house is made with a board horizontally (ship type) or vertically (barrel type of cladding). |
|
| The main types of foundations in Norway are a Scandinavian (Swedish) insulated slab and a shallow strip foundation with a monolithic slab overlapping the first floor. |
The foundation on slopes, when there is a likelihood of groundwater backwater from the slope, must be protected with a wall drainage membrane. do not forget about the underground wall drainage. |
|
| Basically, the roof of a Norwegian house is a natural material. Rolls are the least common in Norway. bituminous roofs, bituminous shingles and as a class there is practically no ondulin. Slate roofing is very common in Norwegian houses - after all, Norway mines 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 rare option in Norway. Most often, wooden roofing can be seen on Norwegian holiday homes or tourist sites. Although, 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 home is simple glazed ceramic or ceramic tiles. |
Traditional Norwegian inversion green roofing is also most commonly found on Norwegian holiday homes or tourist / public buildings. Pictured: Concert hall near Edvard Grieg's house in Bergen. |
|
| Unlike Sweden, where gravel or steel seam roofing reigns, metal tiles are widespread in Norway. Almost all metal-tiled roofs of Norwegian houses are black: this way the roof of a Norwegian house warms up better and the snow falls off it faster. |
Metal tiles on Norwegian houses are not used simple, but with a protective layer of basalt chips: such a layer better protects the roof from UV rays and climatic factors. |
|
| Some types of basalt-coated metal tiles are difficult to distinguish from natural tiles. Please note that the fastening nails of the metal tile are hammered exclusively along the end surfaces of the sheets - this reduces the likelihood of a Norwegian house roof leakage. |
High-quality cement-sand tiles look no worse than natural ceramic ones, but they are much cheaper. |
|
| Outbuildings at Norwegian houses are covered with steel slate - and there was no place for the ondulin. |
There are Norwegian houses with folded steel roofs. But most of all seamed roofs are in Sweden and Finland (the picture shows a Finnish house from Seurasaari Park in Helsinki). |
|
| The most ingenious option for a cheap and durable roof: reinforced fiber-reinforced concrete cast from a sheet of ordinary metal tile, painted in the mass. 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, houses are equipped with fireplaces and cast-iron stoves, which can quickly heat up the house. The chimneys of a modern Norwegian house are most often the Schiedel chimney (ceramic modular pipe in basalt insulation inside expanded clay concrete block). today it is the safest and robust design chimney. |
|
| Old brick chimneys are restored by casing 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 by a cobblestone. There are options for concrete composite deflectors for chimneyas in the previous picture. |
Ventilation is brought out to the roof using 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 hood, which is ventilated at the top point. |
|
| In the living rooms of Norwegian houses, windows are made panoramic: without bindings and as large as possible, so that while sitting in the living room you can feel the unity with the surrounding landscape. |
The interior colors of the Norwegian house are a continuation of the surrounding nature, which enters the Norwegian house through panoramic windows. You can read about the features of modern Norwegian interior in a separate article. |
|
| Solid fences around a Norwegian house are extremely and extremely rare - only in those cases when you cannot do without them: for example, next to a busy transport highway. In all other cases, if you want to hide the Norwegian house from prying eyes, a green hedge is arranged. In most cases, fences around Norwegian homes are simply not available or are made in traditional European style fences. |
The area around the Norwegian house is marked, if necessary, with a low picket fence or low netting. I hope you enjoyed my story about Norwegian houses. Reading an article about small cottages in Swedish Now you can see how to build a Norwegian gazebo or read how to make your home fire safe. |

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

Varieties of projects of houses from a gun carriage
Wooden houses from the gun carriage were built in the distant past and remain in demand today.
Project two-storey house from 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 lasting family nest for many years.
One-story houses from a gun carriage
One-story carriage houses are popular as buildings for year-round living or for a country holiday.
Projects one-story houses can be implemented in different styles and have a useful area of \u200b\u200b75 to 200 sq. m. The basis of such projects may include classic square boxes with a gable or hipped roof.
Popular projects are considered carriage houses using Norwegian technology, where a special preparation of the log house 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 homes are made from cedar, however, some choose alternative breeds. Single-storey buildings are not necessarily designed in the form of classic boxes. Contemporary projects offer wooden houses of various shapes and stylistic trends. Regardless of the fact that the house is designed from a cedar log and has characteristic log projections 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 a gun carriage. However, with a 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 country house with a small area.
Norwegian style one-storey carriage house It all depends on the time and skill of the person. If you wish, you can develop a simplified project of the house, but with a larger area, in which case it will be much easier to lay the fire monitor with your own hands, since there will be no need to understand complex drawings. The shape, size, and style of a one-story fire monitor can vary depending on budget. In some projects, there may be large panoramic windows or tempered glass slide doors. All these factors do not make the construction cheaper at all.
On a note:
- Houses built from a gun carriage need not be insulated, since walls 20-25 centimeters thick keep heat well.
Two-storey houses from a gun carriage
Norwegian-style two-storey houses look aristocratic and attract attention. The unusual shape of the timber and the technology of their assembly make a log house strong and warm, even if it is built on two floors. Architectural design at home, as in the example with one-story house, is not limited to just 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 cedar carriage house can be made in the traditional Russian style, which can include carved columns and exclusively wooden frames with handmade patterns. Such a traditional log house can be a pride and a holiday destination at the same time. However, the costs of such construction can be unlimited by the average budget.
The project of a two-story log house 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 built with your own hands, it does not require a heavy strip foundation and complex calculations with the shape of the box and roof.
- Carriage houses can be built not only from cedar, but also from conifers 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 are, as in all building materials and construction technologies.
- In comparison with a rounded log, a carriage house should be built from dry wood and must be treated with construction wood preservatives.
- Construction only in the spring or summer season, since in most cases, log houses are treated with antiseptics after the walls have been erected. However, such a 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 the cups for the locks and with an uneven landing of the timber in the bowls, over time, microcracks may form on the carriages. These will be surface cracks that will not affect the thermal qualities of the house, but this can spoil the appearance of the interior.
Interior and exterior of houses from gun carriage
Laconicism and thoughtful design of the house is a guarantee of comfort and good rest in the house. When it comes to Norwegian-style carriage houses, it may seem like you don't have to add anything to the wood, and it creates a unique design by itself. This is partly true, however, not everyone is satisfied with the classic decoration of interior and facade walls.
Facade
The facade of a cedar carriage house remains unfinished for many developers and this can be considered the right decision. However, it is possible to give a peculiar shade to the wood with the help of special impregnations. Usually, the impregnation includes color and antiseptic, which prevents the development of fungi in the wood. Thus, the facade of the house can be given a dark or light color, depending on the design project of the mansion. The cedar carriage does not need insulation and additional finishing.
Project planning and facade of a one-story cottage from a gun carriage in the Norwegian style Oval-cut logs, when laid, create a decorative effect that is a decoration of the house and a solid wall. Some avant-garde projects involve hand-cutting patterns on a gun carriage. Various patterns or a certain ornament are carved on the walls from the side of the main entrance. But such a design is not suitable for everyone, since mainly classical buildings are in priority, the facade of which does not need to be decorated with patterns.
Interior
The interior and decor of a cedar house can be done by hand. In order for the house to be comfortable and cozy, you should think over everything to the smallest detail. Many design projects include a fireplace in the interior of the house. It complements the wood walls and blends in succinctly with the overall decor.
House interior option from a gun carriage Some private developers set in country houses electric fireplaces, however, professional designers advise to mount a real wood fireplace, as it will positively emphasize the idea and aesthetics of the design.
The wall decoration design can be chosen by the developer on their own, 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, after a while after installation, spider-web cracks may 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 and is divided only visually are quite popular. The interior, planned as a studio, is comfortable, and the uniform wood finish of the walls 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 dim. Ceiling decoration in the interior can be combined with stretch acrylic canvases, and can also remain in a wood style.
The interior of a wooden carriage house is considered a classic and the embodiment 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. 
AT wooden houses you can radically change the interior, decorate all the walls with gypsum boards, paste over with wallpaper or paint. However, the tree itself has a beautiful shape and structure, and in rare cases needs decorative finishing.
Variant of interior design of a cottage from a gun carriage - It is best to choose a natural flooring in a house from a carriage, any hardwood will do. Natural parquet also looks good in woody interiors.
