The roof of this tiny cottage in Finland is made from a ring of roundwood
timbers interlocking and supporting one another. This self
supporting roof is called a
reciprocal roof.
The design leaves a circular hole in the roof that forms a
skylight bringing light directly into the heart of the home. The
cottage was built by Heidi who makes beautiful
ceramics and jewellery in her shop called TaikaEarth. Take a
look closer look at this
cob, earthbag and straw bale cottage. |
