The structure of the T=1 isotriplet hypernuclei, {sub {lambda}}{sup 7}He, {sub {lambda}}{sup 7}Li, and {sub {lambda}}{sup 7}Be within the framework of an {alpha}+{lambda}+N+N four-body cluster model is studied. Interactions between the constituent subunits are determined so as to reproduce reasonably well the observed low-energy properties of the {alpha}N, {alpha}{lambda}, {alpha}NN, and {alpha}{lambda}N subsystems. Furthermore, the two-body {lambda}N interaction is adjusted so as to reproduce the 0{sup +}-1{sup +} splitting of {sub {lambda}}{sup 4}H. Also, a phenomenological {lambda}N charge symmetry breaking (CSB) interaction is introduced. The {lambda} binding energy of the ground state in {sub {lambda}}{sup 7}He is predicted to be 5.16(5.36) MeV with (without) the CSB interaction. The calculated energy splittings of the 3/2{sup +}-5/2{sup +} states in {sub {lambda}}{sup 7}He and {sub {lambda}}{sup 7}Li are around 0.1 MeV. We point out that there is a three-layer structure of the matter distribution, {alpha} particle, {lambda} skin, and proton or neutron halo, in the {sub {lambda}}{sup 7}He(J=5/2{sup +}), {sub {lambda}}{sup 7}Li(J=5/2{sup +}), and {sub {lambda}}{sup 7}Be(J=1/2{sup +}) states.
