The wooden superstructure may be a quadrangular, round or hexagonal frame. It is not necessary to build a structure from logs or timber - you can lay out a box of bricks and sheathe it with clapboard or siding, stylized as a beam.

Above the shaft is mounted a gable roof. In addition, the upper part of the house can be made in the form of a tent.
