Good day,
I have already searched through the forums but could not find any posts related to my topic. Perhaps I overlooked something.
My wife and I want to build a single-family house and have come across the option of steel frame construction. This method is not very common in Germany. Abroad, for example in the USA, this construction type is often used. We have already found a sponsor willing to build with us using this method. My question is: Has anyone heard of or had experience with this type of construction? Are there any negative experiences or concerns, for example regarding durability and quality (especially compared to a traditional masonry house)?
I would greatly appreciate any advice or help!
Kind regards

So... I do like that kind of thing, the offshore oil rig romanticism. Whether I would want that for myself, though, is another question.
However, the house was awarded a prize in 2005, so it was built around 2004/2005. Is it still possible to meet today’s energy-saving regulations (building codes) with a house like that?
But interesting!

Why this special feature?
Special features usually cost money, and expertise is scarce (and expensive).
In industry and commercial buildings, this is more common, but how this aligns with energy saving regulations and residential buildings remains to be seen...
The question remains: why? What advantage is this supposed to have?

We are aware of the issue with thermal bridges, but it should be solvable.

Regardless, if that were the case, it would be much more popular. Nobody has money to waste.
