housing 
The Hale Ka’a (rolling house) gable framing from HAR Chapter 15-110 introduces diagonal bracing (holo) not present in the hip-roofed Hale Halawai. The thesis module adopts the steep roof pitch characteristic of both hale types while using mass timber to achieve contemporary structural performance.
