Cozy indeed, good job. I like the idea of hanging the brazier from higher than the visible rood so it doesn't hang so low; never thought about something like that and now it seems so obvious.

Do you mind a suggestion you can try? Place core wood beams going from wall to wall under the roof of the ground floor (so, under the floor pieces for the first floor). They will look like the support structure of that ceiling and you had already placed the floor with its "beam" perpendicular of that direction (so they will create a mesh exactly like IRL buildings). It's not for real structural support (clearly, you don't need that); just for the looks.

The con of such change is that it makes the ceiling feel lower so maybe you won't like that.

Neither did I until I was trying to rig heating for the rooms in a cramped space. The single chain of the hanging brazier is the same length of the wooden half post, so it worked out nicely.

I love suggestions and see new ideas. Half of good looking building is structurally pointless, but always makes it seem more fleshed out. I am not sure if I understand the concept as written though. I attached a picture, were you meaning along these lines? I am not sure why I always shy away from core wood, but it defiantly gives a good structural look compared to wooden posts (visually and mechanically).

Something similar.

In your tavern then core wood pillars shouldn't be necessary; the wall is decorated enough. Also, if you didn't plan this since the beginning, the pillars could interfere with other things like windows and decorations so better not; lest just the core beams look like they are supported by the rock walls.

Regarding the beams, exactly that, but what you want is that they are perpendicular (90º turn) regarding the "poles" that are attached under the floor pieces (see that in your image, they both go the same direction). That's exactly how IRL those floors were supported: big beams in one direction supporting a net of smaller beams turned 90º and then the floor planks turned again 90º.

If we consider the entrance of your tavern the "front", your floor planks are oriented left-to-right; the beams under those pieces go front-to-back, thus the core wood beams should go also left-to-right. And that's perfect because it's way more realistic that if you had to put the big logs front-to-back(a very long stretch) without any pillar in the middle.

Something like that but without the incline of the roof:

Oh, ok I see what you are meaning now. I will have to try this on my next larger build, thank you. I definitely need to use core wood in more places and this is a really good way to use it.
