Circular dome, Square building...What to do?

All,

I'm in need of some guidance. I have a 7 ft homemade dome, that I'm putting on a 8'x 8' building. The building, and the dome are ready to go, and I have a sqare frame that the dome rotates nicely on, which I have already attached to the top of the building.

I'm now struggling with how to create a "roof" for the portion of the square building that will be exposed under the dome. ANY ideas would be GREATLY appreciated. I had originally thought I would just make a flat roof out of plywood, but a bunch of people have advised against a flat roof.

Also, any pointers to websites etc. with somthing like that would be greatly appreciated.
