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!
