Usage tips
Compound word
'Holzhaus' (wooden house) consists of 'Holz' (wood) and 'Haus' (house). The first part names the building material; both parts are joined directly without any additional letters.
EXAMPLE
Sie haben sich für ein Holzhaus entschieden, weil sie nachhaltig bauen wollten.
They decided on a wooden house because they wanted to build sustainably.
Having something built
Typical collocations are 'ein Holzhaus bauen' (to build a wooden house) and 'ein Holzhaus bauen lassen' (to have a wooden house built). 'Bauen lassen' expresses that you commission someone to do the building.
EXAMPLE
Mit viel Hilfe hat die Familie ihr Holzhaus selbst gebaut.
With a lot of help, the family built their wooden house themselves.
Wir lassen ein Holzhaus von einer Firma bauen.
We are having a company build a wooden house.
Typical descriptions
Common collocations are 'ein gemütliches Holzhaus' (a cozy wooden house), 'ein rustikales Holzhaus' (a rustic wooden house), and 'ein modernes Holzhaus' (a modern wooden house). The word therefore works with various architectural styles and does not by itself describe the appearance.
EXAMPLE
Das moderne Holzhaus hat große Fenster und ein flaches Dach.
The modern wooden house has large windows and a flat roof.
