  • Publication number: 20090139166
    Abstract: The arrangement of a store room for residential buildings comprising stacked apartments is presented. In such apartments, which are designed similarly to the apartment presented in EP 1455033B1, an external room 12 and a living room 11 have an elevated ceiling height. This elevation allows a good light infiltration to deep into the living area. In order to achieve an extensive utilization of space without curtailing the living comfort achieved with a high ceiling, in the shadow region 18, i.e. in the upper region of the living room 11 of the lower apartment 1, a store room 23 is built in in the manner of a swallow's nest.

  • Patent number: 7237361
    Abstract: The invention presents the concept of a residential building which is constructed on the principle of staggered dwellings. The staggered dwellings each have a single-storey dwelling part (10, 23) and a two-storey dwelling part (11) with outdoor area. The living area (10 and 11) of the dwelling is open and allows individual living requirements to be realized with a variability which has not been known up until now. The division of space is not fixed by the static system. The type of accommodation presented can be realized in all types of urban construction such as blocks of flats, block-edge developments or high-rise buildings from two storeys upwards. The sizes of dwellings may be determined in accordance with the location and the target group. Combining the accommodation with service-related and commercial use is made possible in a completely new way using this principle.
