I'm not a builder but what you say makes sense particularly if you're building your own house. I've only ever lived in stone or brick houses so I don't really know what timber-framed houses are like in person, and my gut tells me I’d still prefer the former
I feel like it's a good time to introduce HN to "groverhaus" - a DIY extension performed by a mod on the SomethingAwful forums to a property in the Great Dismal Swamp.

The best intro IMO to the 'haus is unfortunately a paywalled episode of the podcast "Well There's Your Problem". It's a good podcast though so worth a few bucks a month
