A wood and brick house combines the advantages of materials for a modern and comfortable home. Between tradition and modernity, the alliance of wood frame house and a masonry house renews the ways of building to guarantee greater architectural freedom and take advantage of the advantages of these two traditional materials of South West.
The contemporary aesthetic of the wood and brick house
In the contemporary architectural landscape, the combination of traditional and modern materials is part of the trend. The old house adorned with a wooden extension, is a dream for this marriage of textures and colors. But these unique compositions offered by the alliance between wood and brick are also possible in new housee. Whether we opt for visible diversity with a wood siding on a coated facade or on the contrary a plain exterior, all boldness is permitted. The mix will also offer more complex shapes thanks to the advantages of wood in terms of architectural design.

Wood and brick house: Durability and longevity
The wood and brick house is distinguished by its durability and longevity. Wood, properly treated and maintained, can last for decades, while brick is renowned for its resistance to weather and wear. This combination thus offers a solid and durable structure, requiring little maintenance over time.
Wooden and brick house, scalable houses
The wooden brick house also borrows from the wooden house its evolving nature. Indeed, thewood frame is a constructive technique that can be easily transformed at a lower cost. Destroying a partition to enlarge a room, installing an extension, creating an opening is done with less nuisance and time than on a masonry house. The wooden part can thus be transformed more easily over the life of the house to accommodate a new child, create an independent studio, share the house, etc.

Build with wood and brick to reduce costs
La mixed construction is also a way of reduce the construction budget from home without reducing your desires. Thus, the builder Maisons Sic uses both techniques to multiply options and adapt to budgetary constraints linked in particular toincrease in the price of materials. Environmental regulations RE2020 which dictates the construction standards of new houses increased construction costs. Initially more expensive, the wooden house, already very efficient due to its design and its strong insulation, has increased proportionately less in recent years than brick construction.
Building with wood and brick to reduce the carbon footprint
La RE2020 also requires new constructions to reduce their carbon footprint. THE carbon footprint of the house is studied from its construction to its demolition, including its energy consumption. Wood, as renewable material, has absorbs carbon during its growth. Its balance sheet is almost zero and makes it easier to comply with regulatory requirements. There wood and brick frame house thus offers greater architectural freedom (placement of openings, shape, etc.) to the builder of individual houses to compensate for the constraints of poorly oriented land for example (higher energy consumption, etc.).
Greater architectural freedom
The complex shapes like curves, are easier and quicker to implement artwork on construction site, a wood construction. Another advantage of wood is its lightness, which reduces the foundation costs on difficult terrain. While many sites have strong construction constraints which increase the depth of the foundations and therefore construction costs, wood greatly reduces the weight of the structure. Thus, the combination of wood and brick increases the possibilities at lower cost.
Builder of wood and brick houses
To meet the constraints and requirements of its customers, the builder Maisons Sic offers, in addition to its wooden houses and brick houses, a mix of wood and brick. While it is frequently encountered in the traditional architecture of South West, this alliance of materials, is rarely implemented by builders who generally only practice one construction method Of house. Maisons Sic, historically specialized in traditional materials of South West, employs both experienced masons and professional carpenters. All of the frames and wooden frames installed by the South-West builder are thus produced internally, in the workshop.
Wood and brick house: excellent environmental performance
The wood and brick house meets growing requirements in terms of sustainability and energy efficiency. Wood, as a renewable material, offers exceptional thermal performance and contributes to the reduction of carbon emissions. Combined with brick, which has excellent thermal inertia, this construction ensures natural regulation of the interior temperature in summer and winter, thus reducing dependence on heating and air conditioning systems.
The wood and brick house embodies the very essence ofContemporary architecture, combining tradition and modernity to create unique, sustainable and modern living spaces. Its remarkable aesthetics, environmental performance and architectural versatility make it an attractive choice for owners keen to combine style, comfort and durability in their home.
