[0015] A ridgepole 5 is provided at the top of the roof 2, and this ridgepole 5 is fixed to the end face of the upper right wall panel 3 and the end face of the upper left wall panel 4.
[0016] As shown in FIG. 4, the roof 2 also includes a awning 11 that covers the upper right wall panel 3, the upper left wall panel 4, and the ridgepole 5.
[0017] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 5, the upper right wall panel 3 and the upper left wall panel 4 have a plurality of rafters 6 and a plurality of sheathing boards 7, the rafters 6 being spaced horizontally and arranged along the inclined direction, and the sheathing boards 7 being erected horizontally on the upper side (outdoor side) of the rafters 6.
[0018] A rafter 8 is attached to the lower end of the rafter 6, and a fascia board 10 is attached to the rafter 8.
[0019] In addition, a wall base material 9 is attached to the underside (indoor side) of the rafters 6.
[0020] As shown in Figure 6, a step 25 is formed on the lower end and underside (indoor side) of the rafter 6, and a base support 27 is fixed to the upper side of this step 25 to hold down the lower end of the wall base material 9.
[0021] A floor section 14 comprising a base 12 and a floor underlayment material 13 is provided beneath the roof 2 constructed in this manner, and this floor section 14 and the roof 2 are arranged so that the vertical cross section forms an approximately isosceles triangle shape.
[0022] That is, the roof 2 is disposed on the isosceles part of a substantially isosceles triangle, and the floor part 14 is disposed on the base part.
[0023] Between the floor portion 14 and the roof 2, a pair of support walls 20 are provided, which serve as side walls together with the roof 2.
[0024] This support wall 20 includes a lower right wall panel 21 that is inclined in the opposite direction to the inclination direction of the upper right wall panel 3 and supports the lower end side of the upper right wall panel 3, and a lower left wall panel 22 that is inclined in the opposite direction to the inclination direction of the upper left wall panel 4 and supports the lower end side of the upper left wall panel 4.
[0025] That is, the support wall 20 and the roof 2 are arranged so that the vertical cross section forms a part of an approximately diamond shape, that is, so that the vertical cross section forms an approximately pentagon shape.
[0026] The lower right wall panel 21 and the lower left wall panel 22 of the supporting wall 20 each have a plurality of beams 23 arranged at positions corresponding to the rafters 6.
[0027] That is, the spacers 23 are disposed at predetermined intervals to form ventilation holes 35 .
[0028] The upper ends of these spacers 23 are formed at an angle to fit along the roof 2, and upper connecting plates 24 that connect the spacers 23 are fixed to these inclined portions.
[0029] The upper connecting plate 24 is formed to be wider than the spacer 23 and extends downward from the spacer 23.
[0030] This upper connecting plate 24 is fixed to the step portion 25 of the rafter 6 and is continuous with the base support 27.
[0031] Furthermore, a recess 29 that fits into a corner 28 of the base 12 is formed on the lower end side of the spacer 23.
[0032] In other words, this recess 29 is formed by a horizontal surface 30 abutting the upper surface of the corner portion 28 and a vertical surface 31 abutting the side surface, and a lower connecting plate 32 that connects the lower end of the spacer 23 is fixed to the horizontal surface 30.
[0033] A vertical surface 31 and a lower connecting plate 32 are fixed to the corner portion 28 by abutting them from the inclined direction.
[0034] According to the above configuration, the lower end of the roof 2 is joined to the floor 14 via the support wall 20, thereby eliminating wasted space in the corners formed by the lower end of the roof 2 and the floor 14 as much as possible, ensuring an efficient living space.
[0035] Moreover, the front and back sides of the building 1 are open, and the support wall 20 is provided with ventilation holes 35, so that the building 1 has an open feel.
