I forgot to add that the angle support idea would result in an unusual
interior ceiling around the perimeter, so that the 2x4 wood brackets
would need to be placed 16" on center for the wall board to attach
to. The space would be a good place to route HVAC ducts, water pipes,
or electrical wire. But then again if the ceiling/floor joists extend
out over the exterior for a sizeable overhang, these angle brackets
could be on the exterior and perhaps hidden in an architectural facade
of some sort.
