In contrast, cottages built of wood or today\u2019s modern WOODEN BUILDINGS\u2014sometimes even partially combined with traditional brick\u2014create harmony with the surrounding landscape, and the sight is pleasing to the eye. There are certainly countless types of wooden buildings; we are referring here to those that also feature wood in their exteriors, visible at first glance.\tIt is, in fact, a house clothed in nature.After all, wood is undoubtedly a natural material that belongs in the landscape. Let\u2019s not be afraid of it and let\u2019s build more houses like this in villages and towns, so we can feel good living in them! After all, living in natural materials benefits us most of all.There is no worse way to achieve your dream home than by (as is so common today) attaching polystyrene to the masonry and then plastering it over. Combined with perfectly airtight plastic windows, this creates an unhealthy, completely non-breathable environment. In the past, it was often said that HOUSES MUST BREATHE. Today, we hear from all sides: SEAL IT UP SO THE HEAT (MONEY) DOESN\u2019T ESCAPE. And so we often create a completely airtight environment where heat doesn\u2019t escape\u2014saving us money\u2014but not a single breath of much-needed air flows in, and mold often begins to form in such an environment. This is a particular issue with airtight plastic windows. The golden age of wooden windows, through which air flowed in the desired amount (even when closed), just as it was healthy for the house and its inhabitants.\tAll the pros of wooden buildings:\u00b7         Environmental reasons (it is an easily renewable natural material)\u00b7         We are returning to nature without lowering our standardof living\u00b7         Very short construction time (sometimes as little as 4 months)\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Space savings dueto thinner walls\u00b7         Aesthetic appeal\u2014a house clad in wood simply looks beautiful\u00b7         Wood regulates humidity and provides a feeling ofwarmth\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A properly constructed wooden building can last more than 60 years.So if you\u2019re currently thinking about what the place you\u2019ll call home should look like, try to also be mindful of the landscape in which you\u2019ll set it.  May you be proud of what you create there!
