Beautiful wooden houses: luxurious exteriors in the photo

An ordinary wooden box can be complicated by a variety of extensions so that in the end a beautiful wooden house is built. Looking at the drawings of children, one can imagine that a house made of wood is an ordinary box with 4 walls, which is divided inside into rooms. Looking at most of the suburban houses, you can understand what exactly these are in reality. Despite all this, one can show imagination here, make a beautiful house with an original appearance, and a large selection of house projects can help us with this.

When building a house from a log house, you should not limit yourself. Felling is a durable material that opens up new opportunities for the owner. Having made architectural additions, you can create an original house with a beautiful exterior.

Bay window

Now the bay window in a wooden house is gaining more and more popularity. Bay window - part of the room that extends beyond the facade and its plane. It can not be called an extension, because it is only a continuation of the house, located in a heated room. The bay window will make the architectural look more attractive, and the total area is a couple of squares more.

The bay window can have either a simple square or rectangle shape or a complex polygonal shape. The bay window with a large number of angles destroys stereotypical thinking, makes the exterior of the house original and unusual. Structurally, the bay window can act both on the corner of a wooden house, and along its wall. Thanks to the use of this architectural technique, you can increase the area of ​​the house, create an original look and launch more natural light into the house, because it is often glazed to the maximum. The bay window can be located not only on the ground floor of the house, but also go up to the roof, which will create a spectacular view resembling columns or small towers.

In one house you can use several bay windows of different types at once. In one part of the house it can be a double bay window, on the other hand - a multi-faceted one-story, and so on. In general, the presence of a bay window can diversify the exterior of a wooden house, bring a fresh wave to it and bring to life the original ideas of the owner.

Porch and terrace

The terrace or its small varieties is a wing, which has both a functional load and a stylish appearance. Terrace - an open area with one wall, a kind of extension on supports or poles. On top of the porch is covered with a roof common to the house type or built separately. The terrace is especially popular in the southern regions of the country, as it is often warm there and this site has regular use. Here you can have a good time with friends or relatives, sit at a dining table in the fresh air, whether it's sunny or cloudy.
Now the terrace is gaining more and more popularity, it can be used both on one side of the house, and around its perimeter. Thus, she not only changes the appearance of the wooden house, but also ennobles it.

Houses with a veranda are especially popular in cooler regions, additional walls are being built here, an area is being arranged with the possibility of using heating systems. Do not confuse the terrace and the veranda, since the terrace is open and suitable only for summer time, but the veranda is a closed room with walls and windows. Her mission is also different, since first of all it is a room to protect the entrance to the house from the "vagaries" of the weather.

Loggia and balcony

If a wooden house does not consist of one floor, then you should think about how you can diversify the appearance of the building with original outbuildings. As an additional architectural element, you can use a balcony or a loggia.

The balcony is a kind of terrace subtype that is not on the ground floor.Such an extension often remains open. If you use a balcony in a wooden country house or cottage, then it can be not only a decorative element of the exterior, but also a place to relax in the fresh air.

In city bustle, the balcony of the apartment often has a technical purpose, serves as a pantry for various things. In the case of a country house or cottage, there is no need to clutter it with trash, it is better to use it for its intended purpose, namely to do passive rest. It will always be nice to go out onto the balcony, get some fresh air, or just enjoy the view of the surroundings with a cup of hot coffee. The balcony can be either small with an exit from one room, or on the entire wall, have several exits, both from the bedroom and from the common rooms.

Loggia is a type of glazed balcony that stands for the house or is located inside it. The whole difference between a balcony and a loggia is that the balcony is open from all sides, but the loggia closes from two or three sides.

Structurally, a balcony and a loggia can be used as a continuation of a terrace, bay window or porch of the first floor. With this arrangement, the balcony has additional fastening and reinforcing insurance in the form of a lower extension.

Gazebo

The Belvedere is an original type of extension that will make a stylish work of art out of an ordinary wooden house. If you look into the dictionary, the concept itself is translated from Italian as "beautiful view." This is what guarantees this type of extension that outwardly represents a kind of tower located above the upper floor. Simply put, this is a kind of gazebo that was put on the roof of a wooden house.

In fact, the belvedere is the original extension on the roof of a private house, has a bizarre shape and stylish appearance. In the Russian Federation, it is better to use a glazed version to protect it from the whims of nature in the form of snow or rain. This type of extension is complex in its construction and will cost a pretty penny, but a beautiful appearance and a cozy place to relax are worth it.

In general, I would like to say that a wooden house does not have to be a commonplace box of log or timber. With a little effort, you can build a chic house where you want to spend more time, and neighbors and guests will be pleasantly surprised by the amazing taste of the owner, positively evaluating his ideas and their implementation.
