Can a house looks like a log house from a certain room or basement but be made of bricks in the outer?

Question

Like this house;

I'm not sure if it's a basement or if it's another stairs-included part of the house, it looks like a log house but from the other pictures I saw of the same house the roof and walls were different. Is it possible to have an extra room/basement with wooden roof and walls?

Answer 1

Anything is possible with money!

Answer 2

Errmm, if you like that sort of thing; seems a bit "fondu" in an otherwise conventionally build house.

In a basement the finish would be cosmetic only, essentially planks cut from the outside of the log (normally a waste product so could turn out cheap if you find the right supplier) battened onto the block/studwork inner leaf.

If you desire an extension built "log cabin" style there is no reason why this can' tbe keyed into the rest of the structure.    

Answer 3

In my first answer I suggested a timber framed house, the inner linings could be what ever you wished.

Half round or quarter round logs couldneused as an iternal lining but I shudder at the dusting.
