ᐅ Building the interior of a new timber frame house with solid construction?

Hello,
we are considering having a timber-framed house built.
However, it is rather unpleasant that current energy-saving regulations require insulation that covers the timber frame of the building envelope – often finished with drywall or, at best, fiber-reinforced gypsum boards.
Doesn’t it make more sense to build solid walls on the inside, for example with sand-lime bricks?
Or would that become too expensive?

I heard that timber frame houses are generally more solid and can last for several centuries... Unfortunately, that is not true. Just look at unrestored timber frame houses from the Middle Ages (so several centuries old). One of the so-called sills (the lower horizontal frame beams on which the entire timber structure rests) is always rotten. Always. Repairing something like that is an enormous effort.
Timber frame houses that are still recognizable as such can still be built today. Here in the Ore Mountains, for example, there are traditional companies that specialize in this. But it is a niche, for people who really want it.

It doesn't have much in common with an old, traditional timber-framed house. It’s more of a look-alike.
No house lasts forever. A lot depends on regular maintenance. Many things are also outdated, like the tiny windows found in old houses.
Who knows what will happen to our houses? In 30 years, bathrooms will need renovation; in 50 years, everything will be overhauled—flooring, electrical systems, plumbing, walls, etc. In 80 years, damage may appear due to poor workmanship during renovations in the past decades.

The company here prides itself on traditional construction using wooden pegs, etc. It’s definitely a niche for people who want that kind of thing but don’t want to renovate.
We took a rough look at it once. You just have to like that style.
