1. Identical triangles are used
face-up and face-down as shown. |
 |
2. Face-up and face-down triangles
"fit like a glove" to each other. |
 |
3. Three triangles fit together to
form larger roof panels. |
 |
4. Another common combination of
three triangles is shown here. |
 |
5. This combination is commonly
paired with #4 above. |
 |
6. Four small triangles form into a
larger, and similar, triangle. |
 |
7. Additional column of triangles
forms a larger roof panel. |
 |
8. Six triangles connected
edge-to-edge, face-up, create a basic hexagon roof dome. |
 |
9. Two or more triangles connected
face-down, base-to-base, form roof ridge lines. |
 |
10. Connected triangles quickly
become self-supporting. |
 |
11. Two of these triangles form the
ridge pole; the other two the eaves. |
 |
12. Triangles can be
built to the roof slope (pitch) desired. 30° and 45° slope hexagon domes are
shown here. |
 |
13. Changing the slope of the roof
does not affect the footprint (floor-plan). |
 |
14. Those same triangles that
create many of the basic shapes also contribute to designing many unique,
attractive new building designs and shapes. |
 |
15. The accompanying building was the
1st of many clusters of hexagonal rooms - this one uses four
hexagons per floor, or can be a truly open interior design. |
 |
16. This was the 2nd hex
cluster home we discovered. It includes five hexagons per floor, or can
have an open interior design. |
 |
|
 |
18. "A man's home is his
castle." (Sorry ladies...of course there are many of you who wouldn't
mind living in a comfortable castle!) |
 |
19. Again, to see just ONE castle
that would be easy to build with our hexagon triangles, click on the link
in #17 above... |
