You could make a shallow open fronted woodshed, with slatted walls and
back and a good overhang from a sloping roof; then stand it a few inches
forward of the wall.It will give your house a windbreak (stops heatloss
from wind cooling) and be better for the firewood.

Also, remember, the reduction in wind speed goes several times (depending
on the permeability of a windbreak) further than the height. So, if the
woodshed is 2 meters tall, it can easily be 2-4 meters away from the
house, which should be plenty to avoid insects travelling into the house
from the woodpile.

Also, I've had good results piling wood on top of concrete blocks turned
on their side so the wind can go through the holes in the blocks.
