Abstract
A roof construction for a single level building having a relatively large central area and peripherally arranged living and storage quarters. The roof construction includes sets of trusses each of which includes at least two generally triangular trusses. The trusses of each such set include a pair of legs angularly inclined relative to each other and a third leg longer than either leg of the pair and connected to the other two legs. The trusses are supported on a pair of vertical supports such that one of the pair of legs rests horizontally upon such vertical supports and the other leg of the pair extends upwardly in cantilevered relation above the central area of the building. The third and longest leg of each truss extends downwardly forming an acute angle with the horizontal and providing a support surface for a roof covering. Corresponding trusses of the respective sets have their inner extremities terminating in close proximity, and a dome-like closure having a transparent area is mounted on the trusses to cover the spaces therebetween and to permit transmission of natural light into the central area of the building.
