The "Finnish House" is different from ours?

Recently in fashion came in the Finnish style. It would be time to think about expanding our knowledge of the Nordic culture. What is the real "Finnish House", how is it different from our ideas about it?

Ideally Finnish storey house to be closer to the ground. Two-story houses are built out of necessity, for example, when the site is located on an incline. In Russia, on the other hand, preference is given 2-3-storey cottage. Also on the ground floor you can watch the garage door, which leads to the garage under the house.

For typical Finnish house ceiling height of 2.5 m. And 2.2 m. This saves money spent on heating.

In our homes, the ceiling height of 2.7 m and above. The house provides two inputs, utility-storage rooms, large hall, open porch. This is dictated by our national peculiarities of everyday life. All family members back home, you must take off our shoes and take off garments at the entrance to the dirt is not spread through the rooms.

That is why the large hall we just need.

Kitchen desirable to have greater. It should have a direct connection with the living room, but do not be united with her, which is more characteristic for the American style layout. Well, what is the Finnish house without genuine Finnish saunas.
