The culture to use country houses as we call it, cottages, not popular all over the world. In addition to us, there are four more countries where summer residences or houses for weekends in nature are most common. In other words, if people are building a house behind the city of the city in the USA or in France, they almost always make this the main residence. And having an apartment and a cottage is a traditional fun of only a few cultures.
Basically, the desire to have a cottage outside the city is connected with the need to break through the limits of urbanization to communicate with nature. For Russians, a seasonal house or cottage is a small, usually a wooden cottage with several rooms for temporary accommodation, but rarely for a long stay. Although families remain in the country for a long time, for example, in the summer, they are always in motion – work in the garden, garden, swimming in the lake, fishing, and so on. Of course, this differs from the purchase of an apartment in an apartment building Zagorod. Such multi -storey buildings are erected by various construction companies, for example, the Nizhny Novgorod construction company. But the countryhop, its own small (or large) house is something more personal and closer to nature, whatever one may say.
Canadians are very similar to Russians in this regard, another thing is that for them a cottage is an important part of the rest. Cottage in Canada has decent conditions for long -term residence, as well as the maximum number of entertainment fun. A big feature is to buy a cottage near natural beauties.
In Sweden, people are very fond of warming up in the light of the summer sun as long as possible, since the country as a whole does not indulge in a hot climate. So it is not surprising that rest houses are a Swedish tradition. There are about 700,000 families in the country and almost as many summer houses. But Swedish houses are not luxurious shelters of comfort, as in Canada. They are rude and tend to return you to nature. Central heating and sewage system is most often absent and compensated by blankets and a kettle. The Swedish cottage is a return to nature, not the convenience of living.
Finnish houses, with the exact opposite of the Russian cottage, instead of occupying you with something, is designed so that you do absolutely nothing. Children can have fun and play in a summer house, but the main goal for you is to sit back, and rest from the bustle of the city. People buy suburban Finnish houses to lie in a hammock, look at the lake, bask by the fireplace. This is an ideal place for relaxation and meditation. By the way, cottages in Finland are not empty in winter. A person can be enjoyed from snow -covered nature, ski, snowshoes and even deer.
Cabins for vacation in Norway are of two types – summer and winter. Summer Norwegian houses are usually installed by the lake, and winter in the mountains. Many traditional suburban cottages of Norwegians are wooden huts built by family and transmitted from generation to generation. But today, such houses are becoming more and more skillful.
