simplified squared timber post and beam shell
Fusion style is a combination of two or more of other styles, most commonly stacked log walls with round log post and beam highlighted by timber framing accents.
 
In the log shell shown here, there are three wall rounds of stacked logs, with the remainder of the shell done in a post and beam style. It also utilizes a timber frame style detail: the knee braces connecting the posts and the overhanging beams. Infill frame walls, sitting on top of the stacked logs and between the log posts, will complete the weather envelope.

 

A popular detail is the use of "flare butt" logs, a striking character accent. Here shown on a full height stacked log wall, however it is still quite effective even when used in a more limited way.
These oversized knee braces will look just right when combined with the rounds of flare butt wall logs.
