T-1367-7 IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO BUILDINGS A building comprises a central support in the form of a vertically-disposed tower of tubular form, as well as an eight-sided hollow structure carried by the tubular support and spaced from the ground, with the hollow structure extending laterally of the support. The horizontally-disposed floor of the structure is supported on cantilever support beams extending radially outwardly from the central support. The hollow structure has eight contiguous panels or side walls interconnected so as to form a regular polygon, as viewed in plan. Upright supports are disposed at the junctions between adjacent side walls. Similar supports may be disposed mid-way along each side wall. Spaces between the cantilever support beams, which beams extend upwardly as well as outwardly from the central supports are filled in with suitable panels.
