Massive house vs timber frame construction method?

Bought solidly, 38 year model also cool in summer, without styrofoam or other hazardous waste on the walls. So far always lived in solid houses. Timber frame is more suitable for garden houses.

To confuse you completely, there is also solid wood

We also build solidly from wood.

Timber frame is more suitable for garden houses.

Long live the prejudices!

I have always lived in solid houses and am building solid again, but not for quality reasons. In 2020, your blunt statement is simply wrong and cannot be proven at all. I would have just as well built timber frame or similar, and the house would be neither better nor worse. By the way... there are also good solid garden houses.

Here is the garden house solid stone on stone. Beautiful thick sandstone

We are still considering it. However, a timber frame is out for us. It no longer feels much like a wooden house to us since, with most providers, only the "skeleton" is made of wood. There is more insulation than wood in the house. This might be different with providers like Sonnleitner, as I can at least work with log walls on the inside here.

Solid wood has already been mentioned. That is still interesting for us, but we are building with a flat roof. And there, the structural engineers in our circle of acquaintances, even those specialized in wood, tend to favor solid construction.

For us, if wood, then only solid wood. Here, for example, you can also play with the walls so as not to be overwhelmed entirely by wood. Exterior walls (inside) in exposed wood and the interior walls, which are also made of solid wood, then simply clad with drywall.

From all the conversations, we have only found out that in the end, you can nicely have all the disadvantages of wooden houses in solid construction as well — cf. sound insulation, etc.

Otherwise, the essential points have already been mentioned. In my eyes, no building style is better or worse; those times are probably over. It really depends heavily on the executing company; even the most visually beautiful solid construction can end up a ruin...
