 Not a Tiki Hut, but what is this roof style?

The overall form looks like a Dutch hip.
I don't know what to say about the strange ridge. Never seen that before.

Coupled with the front "panels", my first guess would be they were going for the Japanese tea house look. http://www.pbase.com/danpolley...22863838
Although, if that is an eye I'm seeing over the "mouth" of the extension (a stylized salmon or shark?), it could well be native American influence.

Yep, Japanese Tea House, thanks Richard.
It does suggest a Polynesian war canoe, maybe which inspired the original tea house look. The chimney spoils the effect.
I think one of the roofers carved that eye with a nail.
There is a more subtle variation which doesn't have the raised ridge. Someone put a lot of effort into this one.

There's Japanese, Maori, Pacific Northwest tribal, Hawaiian, and (maybe) even a tad Chinese influence in that form. If you look at the Pacific Rim cultures, it's run through most of them.
You can see it in boats, housing details, iconographic sculpture, totems, etc.
The one's copied in the West using tree farm lumber rot out quickly.

It's Japanese inspired.
According to Japanese Homes and their Surroundings by Morse, many old traditional style homes in Kabutoyama in Mushashi have that detail. It's kind of distinct for that region. According to Morse, it was widely copied in Southeast Asia and in Pacific Islands.

During that time, such roofs are made of bud or jute. The roofs are tilted as it helps everything to slope down and these are easy to construct as well. The less cost of installation is also the reason.
