Beams for the roof came from Natural Log Homes, a company from New Zealand’s South Island that works with local Douglas fir. When the family was puzzling over roofing systems, their architect, Pilkington, introduced them to the concept of structural insulated panels. Commonly used for industrial coolers, the 8-inch-thick panels bond roofing metal, an insulated core and a ceiling panel in large sheets that Anning says were “awesome” to install and keep clean.Insulated panel roof: Metalcraft Group
