Definitions

  • the present invention relates to modular building systems, and particularly to such systems intended for low cost (“affordable”) housing.
  • the present invention is concerned with a concept for a building system, the layout and juxtaposition of the units of the system, the units or modules of the system, the use of wood panels and wood corner and end posts therefor for the units, and the manner in which the panels are connected to the posts by means of male and female joints.
  • Figs. 1-1 to 1 -4 are plans of typical layouts for the present housing developments
  • Figs. 2-1 to 2-3 are ground, first, and second floor plans of a part of the development of Fig. 1-1
  • Figs. 2-4 and 2-5 show floor plans of part of a development similar to that of Fig. 1
  • Fig. 2-3 A is an alternative second floor plan to Fig. 2-3
  • Fig. 3 shows an elevation of the layout of Figs. 2-1 to 2-3
  • Figs. 4-1 to 4-3 show a set of panel designs
  • Figs. 1-1 to 1 -4 are plans of typical layouts for the present housing developments
  • Figs. 2-1 to 2-3 are ground, first, and second floor plans of a part of the development of Fig. 1-1
  • Figs. 2-4 and 2-5 show floor plans of part of a development similar to that of Fig. 1
  • Fig. 2-3 A is an alternative second floor plan to Fig. 2-3
  • Fig. 3 shows an elevation of the layout of Fig
  • Fig. 4-4 and 4-5 show a further preferred set of panel designs, ?
  • Fig. 4-6 shows a further preferred set of panels;
  • Figs. 5-1 , 5-2A, and 5-2B show the panel joining technique;
  • Figs. 5-3 and 5-4 show developments of the panel joining technique;
  • Figs. 5-6 to 5-8 show further aspects of the panels and their joining;
  • Fig. 6 shows a layout for a 5 person 3 bedroom unit, single staircase (in this and in Figs. 7, 9, and 10, the doors to the stair/lift lobby open out on the ground floor);
  • Fig. 7 shows a layout for 4 a person 2 bedroom unit, single staircase;
  • Fig. 8 shows a layout for a 3 person 2 bedroom unit, single staircase;
  • Figs. 9 and 9A show ground and first floor, 4 person 2 bedroom units, with a single staircase (the windows 60 being optional);
  • Fig. 10 shows a combination of different 6m units.
  • the present system is based on a standard module, which can conveniently be a 6 m square module.
  • a single module can be used as a housing unit; however, 2 (or more) modules can be combined, vertically or horizontally (or both) lo form a larger housing unit.
  • Fig. 1 -1 shows a typical layout using the present system. This is formed of square blocks 10 and linear blocks 12.
  • Each square block 10 consists in plan of four modules arranged in a square; each linear block 12 consists in plan of a line of modules (in this case, 4 modules).
  • a unit may consist of more than one floor (vertically stacked modules), and/or there may ⁇ be 2 or more units arranged vertically above each other.
  • every unit with a ground level module has its own small garden area - areas 1 1 for blocks 10 and areas 13 for blocks 12.
  • the layout is organized into regions or superblocks 17, each region consisting of four blocks 10 and two blocks 12 arranged around a central square 14.
  • the square 14 will typically be grassed and with trees or bushes, with paths 15 running in a convenient pattern through it. Parking areas 16 are arranged adiacent to the regions.
  • Fig. 1 -2 shows an alternative layout of more linear form. This has a cen- tral road 21 running through it, so that a region 20 is formed by a pair of blocks 10 and a block 12. (The blocks 12 are shared between adjacent regions ) A region
  • FIG. 1 -3 shows a further possible layout, similar to the Fig. 1 -2 layout but of less linear form
  • the arrangement of the modules and units in the blocks and of the blocks in the layout can both be varied widely.
  • the positions of the gardens can be varied; the numbers of modules along the linear blocks can be varied, with different linear blocks having different lengths; and with a layout having a linear portion like that shown in Fig 1 -2.
  • the square blocks may be positioned opposite linear blocks.
  • a module can stand alone, or be combined horizontally with just 1 other module
  • Fig. 2-1 shows the ground floor level of half of a region 14 of the Fig. 1 -1 layout in more detail.
  • Each block 10 consists of four modules 25; each block 12 consists of four modules 26.
  • the modules 25 are all identical, as are the modules 26.
  • the internal layouts can however differ widely, eg to provide 4 person. 3 bedroom or 3 person. 2 bedroom units, and different internal layouts can be mixed freely in the various blocks, both horizontally and vertically.
  • Fig. 2-2 shows the first floor level corresponding to Fig. 2- 1.
  • Fig. 2-3 shows the second floor level corresponding to Figs 2-1 and 2-2
  • Block 10 has two double-module flats 28; each of these is bounded by a panel at each end and two panels along each side.
  • Block 10' also has two. double-module flats 31 and 32, with flat 32 being larger than two modules and flat 32 being smaller than 2 modules. These units 31 and 32 are however still bounded by the same types of panel, with the dividing panels being shifted in position from the midway line.
  • Block 12 has 4 units 29, similar to the units 26.
  • Block 12 also has a third floor level (not shown) similar to the first floor level of that block.
  • a walkway 30 is provided to give access to the units of the second floor level.
  • a stairs and lift module 27 provides access to the walkway from ground level.
  • Fig. 3 shows an elevation of the layout of Figs. 2-1 to 2-3. (The elevation will of course depend on the numbers of modules and units and how many modules are stacked vertically in the various blocks.)
  • Fig. 2-4 shows a layout for a group of flats intended for combinations less than 4 storeys high. This shows a group of 6 flats around a central area containing stairs and a lift. It will be noted that each group of 3 flats has a common access region which forms part of the central area but is demarcated by a pair of doors, so enhancing privacy. Similarly, the central area lies on an extended corridor giving communication with adjacent groups of flats, but is demarcated by- pairs of doors.
  • Fig. 2-5 shows a further layout for a pair of adjacent flats fronting onto a walkway.
  • the design is based on a single module of standard size, preferably 6 m square (though, as described for units 31 and 32, adjacent modules can be of different sizes provided that the excess of one matches the deficit of the other).
  • the units are bounded by panels of a minimal number of different types.
  • Fig. 4-1 shows the designs of these 3 panels (panel 28 can of course be turned round if a right-hand door is required). If desired, however, a few further types of panel may also be used, such as panels 34 and 35 (Fig.
  • Fig. 2-5 shows a modified form of the top left-hand panel of Fig. 4- 1, in which the window is smaller and higher, giving greater privacy.
  • Fig. 4-4 shows a second and preferred set of panels.
  • the first three are external panels; the fourth is an internal separating wall panel; these are all 3000 mm wide (the heights are obviously all equal, but the actual height is not critical).
  • Fig. 4-5 shows the structure of the first panel. As shown, it consists of a wooden frame with vertical internal elements at 600 mm spacing, covered with plywood or the like. The regular spacing of the internal elements is broken where the opening (here, a doorway) is located. The outer vertical elements have extra strength, achieved here by doubling them; similar strengthening is provided around the opening.
  • the construction of window panels is analogous.
  • Fig. 4-6 shows a further set of panels, which are in effect sub-units of the panels just discussed and can be combined to form door, window, and solid panels.
  • the panels can be provided in open or closed form, ie with a skin on one or both sides.
  • insulation will be included in the panel; in the open form, insulation will normally be added during construction of the building, when the second skin will be added.
  • Each unit is constructed of a timber frame of vertical posts with panels between them.
  • the panels are wood frame panels, comprising wooden struts along their edges and defining any door and window openings, plus and internal struts required for strength in large unbroken areas.
  • the panels have plyw ood facings, and internal heat and sound insulating material.
  • the floors dividing stacked modules are also wooden, 6 m square. Any outside surface for the panels is possible, with the use of breather paper and battens and/or cross battens to take timber, brick (brick slips), and waterproof cladding. The design encourages flexibility of materials and expression of colour.
  • the division between two adjacent modules is formed by a pair of face-to- face solid panels. This forms a high quality solid party wall between the modules
  • Fig. 5-1 shows the technique for joining panels are a corner.
  • Two panels 40 are joined to a corner post 50.
  • One panel 40 has a strut 41 forming one edge, with a pair of struts 42 projecting from it with a spacer 43 between them.
  • the 5 corner post 50 has a projecting tongue 51 , supported by support elements 52.
  • the tongue 51 forms a male element received between the two struts 42 which together form a female groove element.
  • Fig. 5-2 A shows a joint including a centre post, which in this case is formed by two adjacent pillars 50'.
  • the two outer panels 40 are joined to the post in a way generally similar to that of the Fig. 5-1 fixing.
  • the two internal panels 40' (forming the double thickness wall mentioned above) are joined to the centre post by simple butt joins.
  • Fig. 5-2B shows a variant of this arrangement using a single
  • Figs. 5-3 and 5-4 show minor variations on this construction.
  • 70 is a strut added and bolted to both panels at the corner; 71 is a ply infill piece at the junction of two panels.
  • 72 shows two layers of gypsum based 20 board, as an additional lining is required where kitchen units back onto a separating wall.
  • Fig. 5-5 shows a cut-out 80 for services in a panel, and also pins 81 for joining panels stacked vertically;
  • Fig. 5-6 shows a panel with tongues 82 for the same purpose.
  • Fig. 5-7 shows panels linked vertically by pins 81 and tongues and grooves 82, together with vertical end fixings 83. (In practice, pins and tongues
  • the floor panels can be positioned between successive wall panels, with each wall panel l inked to the two wall panels above and below it by pins or tongue and groove elements
  • All services are either incorporated in the house module per floor, or in the panel system if prefabricated. Water services are preferably confined to 1 or at most 2 panels per module.
  • Fig. 1 1 shows three different size units (3 person 2 bed, 4 person 2 bed, and 5 person 3 bed), using 3m spans with 1.5m make-up pieces.
  • Fig. 12 shows the panel construction for a corner junction, separating wall, and a panel junction in the same unit. These constructions use 140 x 50 mm timber posts; for lower buildings, 89 x 50 mm posts can be used in a similar manner.
  • Fig. 13 shows a layout of 4 and 5 person units, multi-storey, with escape routes. This layout can be extended as required.
  • Fig. 14 shows a variation on the preceding square.
  • Fig. 15 shows a further layout variant.
  • the lower central open area can be formal or informal, with lawn, planting, seating, and pedestrian access for quiet seclusion.
  • the upper outer open areas are for playspace for ball games- etc .
  • Fig. 16 shows a house/maisonette plan, front & side aspect.
  • Door 61 is a house access door or a wall for Hyundaiette; door 62 is the main entrance door for the house or securitiesette.
  • Fig. 17 is a layout for a combination of units Fig 1 8 shows a house/maisonette plan, front & rear aspect.
  • Fig. 19 shows a typical elevation of a square with houses and securitiesettes on the ground and first floors and flats and securitiesattes oin the second and third floors.
  • the blocks can be interchanged to give one to four stores; flats can be in any combination to six or seven stories.
  • Fig. 20 shows another typical elevation of a combination of units.
  • a square is shown with houses and/or Statettes on the ground and first floors ands flats on the third floor.
  • the houses with a front and rear aspect have securitiesettes on the second and third floors.
  • One preferred arrangement is for the ground and first floors to have either houses or securitiesettes, and for the second floor to have either flats at that level or securitiesettes on the second and third floors. This gives a varying height roof elevation. However, the blocks of flats can go to six or seven stories.
  • the present invention thus provides a housing system which promotes social interaction and cohesion and is reasonably attractive in appearance (including being relatively low rise), while being relatively cheap and high density.
