ᐅ Are solid wood walls possible in a timber-frame house?

By the way, in our timber frame house we are using a solid wall, the other way around

And we are building entirely with solid wood.

Solid wood walls are theoretically possible. In practice, they need to be installed as soon as a floor is built and before the ceiling is added. They are more expensive than masonry.

And now I'm wondering if it's possible to build some walls from wood in a solid masonry house.

That is certainly possible without any technical issues. For example, many houses in England have been built this way for quite some time.

Funny – here: https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/holzhaus-innenwaende-aus-stein.35568/ someone asks the reverse question. Would you be willing to share your reasons and what you expect from it?

We are considering things like a pantry or small corners here and there that could serve as storage spaces.
In the USA, for example, many houses are built with wood framing, and it’s common to have many small extra rooms. There’s often a built-in closet in every bedroom, a coat closet in the hallway, and linen closets (built-in cupboards for towels, bed linen, etc.). I imagine that building solid walls for all these would be more complicated and expensive than doing it with wood framing.
Am I mistaken?

The real question is whether this is necessary. You need to take niches into account during the planning stage; otherwise, you'll end up with awkward corners everywhere. Consider whether you might replace entire walls with cabinets in areas where less effective sound insulation is acceptable, such as a bedroom dressing room or a wardrobe in a living area.

Actually, we don’t find that awkward at all—more like cozy.
We’re just wondering if it might be better, more practical, or more cost-effective to build those “less important,” non-load-bearing walls from wood.
