Start by drawing a rectangle. This will be the first story of the pagoda.
Draw three upside down U shapes inside the rectangle. These are the doors.
Draw a trapezoid on the rectangle and add another rectangle smaller than the first one.
Now draw another trapezoid and a rectangle that are even smaller than the previous ones and put them on top of what we have drawn. Then add a top like a triangle.
Add three rows of lines to the trapezoid or triangle shaped roofs, make sure the lines in each row are evenly spaced. These will form the tiles.
Add the pagoda roof edges.
