The general plan that I have selected it the Benroy. But the difference is that instead of the curve at the front I was thinking of putting a multi chine in four steps so that it resembles a curve, the problem is how to get the degrees at the points that they join, if you get my drift and the beams between the walls so that they all sit at the right angles so that they can glued and screwed. Another thing I was thinking about is to do some bamboo parquet panneling on the inside, any further ideas that you can give is appreciated

Hi Alph welcome to a fellow Ozzie. :thumbsup:
One thing to consider when planning your build is keeping out the water. The more joints you have the more chance of water leaks. And you get your fair share of water up there. It is a lot easier to clad over a curved area thus eliminating a lot of extra sealing. With the inside of your cabin you can let your imagination be your guide.
Planning your build is a great time, building it is a lot of fun and using it is fantastic! :)
Look forward to seeing some pics.

Cheers Dave
