What sort of sorcery is this ?
Iโve not seen this type of #timber #roof thatโs held like that, does anyone know what this is called and what is the physics behind it ?
Btw GM

I want one!
Interesting. Do you have any pictures of the outside of the roof? Maybe there are timber framed trusses on top? I would have wanted a post in the middle
No I donโt have anymore pictures of this house.
Iโve seen a reciprocal log roof that doesnโt require a post in the middle either and it looks stable too.
But this setup is crazy
If I had to guess, the principle would be the same as a keystone in an arch. Except the logs are likely notched into the center as well.
Oh wow, I didnโt even think of that, it totally can be based on keystone principles ๐๐ป
yes, I see it now, and the more "spokes" / beams, there are the less gravity pressure on the walls. I'd like to see them dropping that center piece into place during the building. that must have been interesting.
