1. A building structure defining a room having a convertible area, the building structure comprising:
a first roof arrangement movable between an extended state and a retracted state, wherein when the first roof arrangement is in the extended state the first roof section extends over the convertible area, and wherein when the first roof arrangement is in the retracted state the first roof section does not extend over the convertible area;
a second roof arrangement movable between an extended state and a retracted state, wherein when the second roof arrangement is in the extended state the second roof section extends over the convertible area, and wherein when the second roof arrangement is in the retracted state the second roof section does not extend over the convertible area;
wherein one of the first and second roof arrangements is positioned higher than the other of the first and second roof arrangements so as to be capable of extending over the other of the first and second roof arrangements at least when the first and second roof sections are in the extended state, and wherein the first and second roof arrangements are separate roof arrangements that are independently moveable between the extended and retracted states;
wherein the first roof arrangement and the second roof arrangement have different thermal resistance values or have different light transmission properties;
wherein the second roof arrangement is positioned above the first roof arrangement;
wherein the first and second roof arrangements each include peaked roof sections that are nestable, wherein the building structure includes a first header and a second header, wherein first ends of the peaked roof sections are supported at the first header and second ends of the peaked roof sections are supported at the second header; and
wherein the building structure includes a first ridge beam and a second ridge beam positioned above the first ridge beam, wherein the first and second ridge beams are parallel to the first and second headers, wherein the peaks of the roof sections of the first roof arrangement are supported by the first ridge beam, and wherein the peaks of the roof sections of the second roof arrangement are supported by the second ridge beam.
