PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve design.SOLUTION: A structure 100A of the first stage suspends a structure 100B of the second stage, and the structure 100B of the second stage suspends a structure 100C of the third stage. In addition, the structure 100C of the third stage suspends a structure 100D of the fourth stage, and the structure 100D of the fourth stage suspends a structure 100E of the fifth stage. Moreover, the structure 100B of the second stage, the structure 100C of the third stage, and the structure 100D of the fourth stage each have a "suspended and suspending structure" in which one structure suspends another structure positioned above, while being suspended by yet another structure positioned below. Accordingly, without separately providing pillars or the like for suspending a plurality of structures 100 from above, the structures 100 can be arranged above the structures 100 to suspend the structures 100, thereby improving design as compared with a base isolation structure using a suspension structure in which structures are separately suspended from pillars or the like.
