I believe that this is perhaps a slightly modified "Lamella" roof system. I think that the full-on Lamella roof would extend the bands of structural support from the roof all the way to a low wall built upon a load-bearing footer. This is a wonderful building and very strong. Here in the USA the American Chestnut used to be the dominant species. However, blight has all but killed them off. I heard that spiders won't spin webs on chestnut. That's pretty cool, if it's true. Nice vid!
loveley video. we are planning to fell some chestnut this winter which we lanted 18 years ago, plan to use for stakes-fencing and tree planting, plus ome trug baskets ( i also planted white willow in 1992 which is now mature)
Thanks for that. Interesting stuff Lamella is a new one on me but I think you're right
