Hi all!
People have been building a specific style of half timered houses (and villages)
for some time now.
Another example is new on BS, which in spired me to write this:

All houses seem to be build with the 1st floor of stone, the second floor and up
are half-timbered.
I wonder where this comes from, as a Dane I cannot recoqnise it. Half timbered
houses in Denmark are "full timbered" - like mine:

Walking though an ole place in Denmark would be something like:

So, where does this idea come from, that the first floor is made of stone?
