ABSTRACT:
A polygon-shaped house is composed of a foundation frame having a symmetrical polygonal shape; columns the lower ends of which are connected to the polygon-shaped foundation frame at vertices of the foundation frame; a beam frame disposed over and in parallel with the foundation frame having a polygonal shape similar to that of the foundation frame, said beam frame being connected at its vertices to the upper ends of the corresponding columns; angle rafters whose lower end portions are connected to the beam frame respectively at the vertices of the beam frame and whose upper ends extend obliquely and upwardly toward a position over the center of the beam frame; and a weighty post member supported by the upper ends of the angle rafters, said upper ends being connected to the post member, and exerting downward force on the angle rafters by its own weight. The polygon-shaped house is simple in framework, permits its easy construction, has sufficiently high strength, and provides a wide free space.
