subject: Dwellings and Buildings [print this page] There are different types of dwellings used by people all over the world. And through the years people are becoming more and more creative in designing and coming up with new models and ideas for houses and a variety of structures. Aside from the regular houses and the common buildings and structures that people are familiar with, there are some constructions these days that people make use of.
One of the many constructions that people are very keen on are garden offices. This is a very smart idea and very cost-effective as well. Garden offices are just small and usually built just outside the residence to be made into an office for those people who have home-based jobs. This kind of office is also very useful for those who have small businesses but want to save money from paying huge rents from buildings found downtown and other overheads.
These garden offices started and are very popular in the United Kingdom and it is now a very big hit elsewhere since it was put together less than a decade ago. People in the UK wanted to cut down a big chunk of money from their budget from paying insurmountable amount of office rentals that is why they came up with this idea. Other terms used for a garden office are home office, garden studio and shedworking.
A garden office should not be confused with a garden building, since a garden building can be any constructions done inside the garden or the backyard. A garden office is a very good example of a garden building, gazeboes, sheds and other things erected within the garden is considered a garden building.
Though log cabins have been utilized by people for years now, there is a growing demand for people to have their own log cabin just recently. Some people want to have a log cabin where they can rest during vacation time and some want to have one where they can just hang out with a couple of friends just to while away time or have some small get-togethers.
A log cabin though should not be confused with a log house since a log cabin is smaller and much simpler than a log house.
Timber buildings on the other hand are dwellings with frames made of timber. Some areas of the timber building are also used of the same materials. This kind of structure is known to be very sturdy and long-lasting.
These are just few of the dwellings and other buildings that people love to reside and utilize these days. And as the days passed more and more styles are coming up and are becoming more functional and tasteful than the previous designs.
