All I see is a box with a red X on it, which should be easy with one texture.... image not found.

Well, it loaded for me... doesn't look very complicated, a box with scaled down top size, and then another box on top of that, with top size along one axis set to 0?

Unless you want to give the top shear it seems to have, then it might be more difficult o.O;

Made a quick 9 prims (well 6, but I didn't copy 3 prims over to the other side of the roof cause it wouldn't show in the image) version in about 10 minutes...I'm sure it could be done in less, but I'm just learning to build. Colored the prims drastic colors to attempt to show the smaller, detail-giving ones better.

that pseudo straw surface should be fairly easy to texture...in fact with a little work you could probably create the texture from the original image!

combine that with the object Jenna made and you should have an almost exact replica of your model..

I'd personally use a really stretched out torus for the long sides, cut in half to get the inside curve effect. with two smaller ones on the sides and a prism for the flat areas

I was playing around with the torus attempting to get that circle shape without having to use 2 prims, and I just couldn't get it to look right...

The curved corners can be done with two hollow, cut, top sized cylinders. Look up many of Pratyeka Muromachi's buildings that use this style.
