The present invention relates to at list two stacked floors building structure sharing their vertically spaced in the middle by modifying the ceiling high of them, forming a non-flat ceiling high configuration of the first floor of the pair, and a non-flat floor configuration of the second floor of the pair, creating a rectangular like pair of floors, bordered by the lower, and by the upper planar flat floor-ceiling combination structure, intended to be stacked to any building structure.
Today increasing demand for more diversification in the design of the living space inside the condominiums, or the apartment buildings projects, is creating a pressure over the projects designers to cover the customer's request for better units design, by pointing out to the builders, and designers to reflect over, not just for that conventionally double floor, or sunken living room configuration inside the projects units, but to rethink the units vertically space in a different way. Today the architects, and construction designers are intended to please the units buyers in which is asking for better layout not just for the horizontally configuration, of their units, but for the better vertically space too. Unfortunately, today is not such design configuration abled to respond for this new vertically space design demanded configuration requested by the unit's buyers.
Accordingly, is an object of the present invention to overcome the disadvantages of the double floor, or sunken living room vertical configuration, find today in the existing apartments, or condominiums projects. Double floor or duplex configuration is known to have a big nonvalue void space in the frontend of the unit, and a double story on the backend, and is creating even more void nonvalue space by the interior staircase serving the upper floor. Other disadvantages of the double floor duplex like units, is the safety concern. Those units are requesting to have railing on the second floor to protect the occupants from falling down from the balcony like formation on the upper floor. Those units with sunken living room configuration are creating other type of the disadvantages by the unavoidable several steps between living room, and other area parts of the units, and a fake high ceiling in the living room. As a result the entire vertical line of the stacked sunken living room units has hundred percent steps between living room, and other area of the unit. As a result is excluding a significant numbers of the unit's users, like the customers in which they don't like steps inside of their unit, or occupants using wheelchairs.
Another object of the present invention is to create a new vertical design configuration by offering to the project customers a real design enjoyment of their units by giving them the possibility to choose the units with steps or without steps between the Livingroom and other part of the area unit. In this design configuration only fifty percent of the unit's vertical floor-ceiling configurations have steps between Livingroom and the other part of the unit. Advantageously the unit's customers are enjoying a hundred percent cathedral ceiling in the Livingroom area at their choice with steps inside, or without, but enjoying the cathedral ceiling formation in both design configuration and in this way is increasing the building project value.
Another object of the present invention is to provide the construction project customers with a full usable square footage of their units. This invention is configured to avoid a nonvalue void space area inside the units. In this configuration the unit's user enjoying more living space in their units and in this way is creating a big added value to the project, by forming a cathedral ceiling in their living room, with steps, or without.
Another object of invention is to create a very flexible structure design configuration without altering the scope of this invention. In this way the project designer could adjust his project to the customer's design demand. If the project has an order to be hundred percent of pairs of floor-ceiling sharing configuration, the project designer could do that, without altering the building structure sound, or the construction cost of the project.
Another object of the present invention is to use this stacked pair's floor-ceiling share configuration to be applied to any construction project taller than two stories high, and by using the conventionally construction materials used today on the construction industry. In this aspect the construction project designer might use this invented key structure design configuration to build stacked townhouse units, low-rise, or high-rise building projects without altering the key element of the invented structure design configuration.
Another object of the present invention is to create a full flexibility for building designers to adjust the project with the customers design demand without altering key element, or the scope of this invention. In this aspect, this new floor-ceiling sharing design configuration is creating a variable cathedral ceiling high in the living room with adjustable deep, and the ceiling high requested by the project customers.
Another object of the present invention is to erect a building by using this new floor-ceiling sharing vertical volumes between pairs of floors with the same construction cost, and the construction material similar with the conventionally design build applied today in the construction industry.
Embodiments herein will hereinafter be described in conjunction with the appended drawings provided to illustrate and not to limit the scope of the claims, wherein like designations denote like elements, and in which:
Referring now to the drawings figures and in particular to
The concept and the spirit of this invention, has no limit in structure design configuration, intended to fit any construction project request by the customers, without altered the spirit, and the novelty of this invention.
