Why Are Stone Houses the Best Choice?

Stone houses are an ideal choice for modern construction due to their durability, weather resistance, and energy efficiency. In this section, we explore why a stone house is a superior option for sustainable living.

Advantages of Stone House Design

  • Long lifespan: Stone houses last longer than wooden buildings and are more resistant to wear and tear.
  • Thermal and sound insulation: Stone walls help maintain indoor temperature and reduce energy consumption.
  • Fire safety and weather resistance: Stone is safer than wood in case of fire and withstands heavy storms and rainfall better.
  • Increased property value: A stylishly designed stone house increases the market value of your property.
  • Lower insurance costs: Stone houses require less maintenance, which often leads to more competitive long-term insurance rates compared to wooden houses.
  • Flexible design: Thanks to the high load-bearing capacity of concrete compared to wood, architectural design can be more freely executed, allowing your dream home to match your most ambitious visions.

If you’re looking for a sustainable, modern, and long-lasting building, concrete houses are an excellent choice. This design style not only offers outstanding durability but also allows for a variety of architectural expressions. Learn more about concrete house design.

Stone House Design Steps – From Idea to Reality

Designing a stone house is not just about making drawings – it’s the foundation of the entire building project. A carefully planned and precisely executed design process ensures your home is not only durable and functional but also unique and tailored to your specific needs.

1. Planning and Needs Assessment

  • Identifying the residents’ needs and lifestyle
  • Choosing an architectural style (modern, traditional, minimalist)
  • Assessing the building site and soil conditions

2. Drafting and Drawings

  • Creating preliminary designs based on the client’s needs
  • Producing accurate drawings using engineering software
  • Taking into account building standards and engineering principles

3. Material Selection and Energy Efficiency

  • Choosing durable and high-quality materials
  • Designing for energy-efficient living and heat retention

Best Materials for Stone Houses

There are several material options available for stone houses. In Finland, one of the most common is EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) blocks, produced by three major companies. We specialize in using these blocks and ensure that you receive the most cost-effective solution right from the early design phase. We manage the material selection and guide the construction process without additional costs.
