I am a bit of a purist. Are there equivalent parts in Lego of these parts from Cada Bricks?

Blue roof tiles: https://decadastore.com/products/japanese-kissaten-shop-c66010w

Reddish brown top roof tiles: https://decadastore.com/products/cada-japanese-style-canteen-c66014w

A friend of mine who doesn't know the difference between Lego and others gifted me with the building with the blue roof. I have not built it. But I was wanting to build it in Lego and display it with the rest of my modulars. Being the purist that I am.

Thanks for any help!

There's no exact equivalent to those parts in Lego. But there's also no shortage of ways to do Lego roof textures—since the roof builds themselves are flat I would recommend trying out a variety of small slopes, tiles, or plates to find an alternative you like best.

I could think of something similar using a sideway building technique with curved slopes, but not an exact simple match. Some notable re-engineering would be required to fit such a roof and of course you'd have to ensure to have enough elements. The ones I'm thinking of don't even exist in Dark Blue yet as far as I know. As @Lyichir said perhaps settle on something different.

Thanks for the replies!

Any suggestions would be very welcome. I think I know about the 1x1 slope technique. I am not 100% sure about the curved slope technique.

Yes, matching the blue would be great, but any dark color, I think would work well. Black or dark brown perhaps?

Maybe something like this roof, using either the 1x2 plate with pin hole (PAB ID: 11458). The Plate 1X1X2/3, OUTSIDE BOW has the same curvature and can be also be used (ID: 49307).
