[Problem] To provide a building structure that has a sloped ceiling in which is provided a groove such as a ceiling-embedded type curtain box, that makes it possible to give the impression that the sloped ceiling opens to the outside from the lower end thereof, and that can provide a sense of connection between an indoor space and an outdoor space. [Solution] A building structure 1a, 1b, 1c comprises: an outer wall 6 which is provided on the lower side in the sloping direction of a sloped ceiling 2; an opening 5 which is formed in the outer wall 6; a box-like groove 15 which is formed along the outer wall 6 at the lower end of the sloped ceiling 2, and which has a downward opening 14 that is open downward; an installation part 17 which is provided inside the groove 15 and to which the upper part of a light shade member 16 that blocks light entering through the opening 5 is installed, wherein the groove 15 is of a ceiling-embedded type which is embedded in the sloped ceiling 2, and the lower end of a side plate of the groove 15 which is opposite from the opening 5 is lower in height than the lower surface of a frame 23 which is on the upper side of the opening 5.
