Finnish houses are increasingly found far from the land of Suomi
The classic design of a Finnish house is a small one- or two-story building with an area of no more than 150 square meters. Under a pitched or gable roof, there is usually one floor and an attic above it. While the attic houses several small bedrooms (usually 10-12 square meters), the first floor is a common area. Here are the living room and kitchen. In Finnish houses, these rooms are significantly larger, which distinguishes them from our standard buildings.
A large open terrace is another feature of a Finnish house. Flooring is usually made of floorboards, but you can buy quick step laminate, which has recently become increasingly popular among builders. Ceiling heights in Finnish houses rarely exceed 2.5 meters – the house should be warm, and it is easier to heat this way. Overall, it is worth noting that in the production of Finnish houses, special attention is paid to the energy-saving characteristics of materials.
If you look at a Finnish house from the outside, the first thing that catches your eye is a carport. For some reason, in Finland they prefer to use them rather than build a full garage. Also, it is not customary to put a fence around the property. But the famous Finnish sauna is a mandatory component of a Finnish home.
In conclusion, we note that building a Finnish house will cost about 700 dollars per square meter. And then everything depends on the materials and 'filling' of the house. After all, the order may include full finishing, built-in furniture, and the most modern appliances. And fans of national flavor often also order wooden decorative elements for their Finnish home.
