The pitched roof will be supported by beams placed across a minimum 1 metre diameter hollow concrete column containing a wood burning stove at the bottom. The column will be made using the same technique as the concrete tubes that lined the well. It will be shaped like a tree - wide at the base tapering gradually and then spreading out at its full height of 8 metres.
