Aldoized Triangular Building Systems began in 1985
with the discovery of a natural geometry that creates flowing roofs to
enclose hexagons and hexagon cluster homes.
Extensive planning and drawing led to the construction of matching, wooden 3-dimensional triangular roof frames. These frames
form into roofs to enclose both individual hexagons and hexagon clusters. Hips,
valleys, ridgepoles, eaves and overhangs can all be framed using
multiples of one basic roof triangle.
The superior strength of framing roofs with triangles was quickly established and we
demonstrated that dome roofs, properly assembled, exert only vertical
pressure on the load-bearing walls.
In 1987, we designed, panelized, and installed a 32-foot hexagonal room in New
London, New Hampshire. Positioned at 60-degree angles between the
simultaneously constructed New England Cape and garage, the 600 square
foot great room was “the dealmaker” according to the family who
purchased the house. They told us “they live in that room.”
In the late 1980’s the building industry collapsed and our triangle based building
system was put on hold while we built conventional homes, cleaned and
lined chimneys, for most of a decade.
A deck building business led to geometric decks, stairs, additions, and the triangle
roof concept was revived. A two-story octagon was designed and built
using the first octagon triangular roof frames in 2005. Hexagon roof
triangles were used to fabricate a roof over its front door.
We now have triangles that enclose a multitude of square and rectangular
building floor plans. We can create triangles to enclose nearly any
building shape and roof slope, as long as the floor plans are designed to
accommodate our construction standardization. We have a multitude of floor plans representing
assorted geometric shapes.
Miniature roof triangles we built simplify demonstrating our system and designing new home
styles. In March 2007 Automated Builder Magazine published a nice
magazine article about our system; three university
professors of civil engineering have acknowledged the superior strength of
our planar roof truss system; and we are developing relationships with other building
technology developers. A Phd Structural Engineer with 40 years in
practice has provided advice and oversight since January of 2010.
We are prepared and ready to work with a landowner who wants to build a strong, stylish,
creative home. We are also looking for builders, developers, investors, manufacturers, engineers,
architects, who would like to help further develop the potentials of
this building technology. Thank you for
your interest.
