You just pretty much described a bronze age round house. The only difference with a round house is that they didn't use the wheel. They just lashed the roof branches together in the middle instead of using a wheel, then they thatched the roof.

They made the walls just as you described, weaving thin branches between posts to make the wall. Then covered with a mud / straw mixture.

I think the wheel would work though, cool idea. I'd love to build one.

I love the language, it's like 5 different languages put together, It's beautiful. Imagine they are all so friendly, yet the Mongol empire was once more vast and powerful than the Roman empire ever was!
