Dimension exterior wall

Why such thin framing timber? You're supposed to have more insulation/thicker walls, right?

(I have 220 mm timber myself.)

It's not completely crazy.
But most people building now, with today's electricity prices, insulate more.
There might be other reasons you don't want to build thicker, more technical reasons than economic ones.

Why such weak framing timber? Aren't you going to have more insulation/thicker walls?

(I myself have 220 mm framing timber.)

I might be completely off here, but yes, this is how I thought.

Since it's a summer cabin I'm going to build, and because it's a summer cabin and a summer cottage area, I don't want to build too thick walls because then, among other things, the window recesses will be so deep. Which I don't think fits in. And since it's an extension, I want to match the thickness of the old walls as well as possible because an old wall and a new wall will be "one whole" wall together. So if I have 145+45+45 on the new and additionally insulate the old part with 45 on the outside, I'll come pretty close.

Or am I completely out to lunch?

OK, a summer cottage is something completely different from what I had in mind. 11-meter roof trusses don't sound like something I consider a summer cottage.

I myself have a summer cottage with 70 mm studs and insulation accordingly. It works to live in even in the winter, although you have to heat it quite a bit. You have to keep each other warm!

No, it's not easy for you to know
