Hello,
We will soon have a timber frame house with insulation built.
I would like to build a workshop myself, also using timber frame construction, with a ventilated wooden cladding system. Since space is limited, it would be advantageous if the workshop could be partially attached to the house.
The workshop will not be built on a concrete slab but on a wooden floor raised about 20 cm (8 inches) above the ground, supported by pier foundations.
Now to my question: How should I connect or attach the workshop to the house so that the wood does not rot and the connection remains dry?
I would be very grateful for some advice.
Best regards,
Olaf

Now this is theoretical! You would need to know the construction of the exterior wall of the house (cross-section) and the heat pump planning. Otherwise, it is difficult to provide a reliable answer from a distance.The construction of the exterior wall from inside to outside:
-160mm (6.3 inches) timber stud frame with insulation in between
-12.5mm (0.5 inches) gypsum fiberboard
-140mm (5.5 inches) insulation boards (expanded polystyrene rigid foam)
-6.5mm (0.26 inches) exterior render

I’m not sure about the requirements for building permits / planning permission. Gorilla22 schrieb:
Thanks for the note. Ignoring this advice from @hampshire could make all other considerations pointless. You might take that risk when extending an older building, but for a new build? Maybe especially in a new development area?

Maybe even in a new housing development? The architect designing our house is also handling the building application for the workshop/hobby room. During the preliminary design meeting, he made sure we comply with the building boundaries. That’s also why the workshop/hobby room is connected to the house. The workshop/hobby room could be positioned as a separate building, but then I would have to cut off a corner of it to stay within the building boundary and I would end up with a narrow passage of 1m (3 feet) between the house and the workshop.
