Hello everyone,
I hope this is the right place to ask my questions. Despite some research and discussions, I have not yet been able to find a definitive answer.

About the project:
We are building a semi-detached house. Currently, we are deciding between a brick prefabricated house and a solid wood house.

A common drawback mentioned for the solid wood house is sound insulation, especially between the floors. Does anyone have experience or advice on what to pay attention to in this regard?

Furthermore, the heat protection of both construction methods is not entirely clear to us. This is particularly important for the roof structure, as we plan to have the bedroom in the attic.
Does anyone have experience with this, keyword: summer heat protection?

Many thanks and good luck

Thank you for the time and effort put into the responses. As I mentioned, unfortunately, everything is a bit complicated—just as it often is when family is involved. However, the suggestions are already helping me to plan the next steps. Thanks again.
