It would be interesting to see how they adapted the Roman building style to a cool and damp climate. I’ve heard their buildings were more enclosed than typical Roman homes and shops.

The hypercaust originated to deal with some of the cooler weather in some of the early conquests, and really came into its own in places with (what the Romans must have considered) real winter weather.
