Definitions

  • the invention relates to dwellings.
  • the present invention has as its object a new arrangement in elevation, which is such that the living areas are constituted by hexagonal-base units instead of the rectangular units that have been employed hitherto.
  • the free area of a room i.e., the visible floor space, is on the order of 50 to 60% of the constructed area.
  • the ceilings are of normal height in the floored area, which is called the usable area, i.e. usable for living activities and trafiic, but it is reduced over the furniture, in corners, etc.
  • the partition walls are inclined in relation to the floor and ceiling. This is a great advantage from the viewpoint of acoustical isolation, because the angle of incidence of the sound waves is not perpendicular, so that reflection is greatly reduced.
  • the inclination makes it possible to make the partition walls thicker, which again improves acoustical qualities.
  • Width between parallel faces 7.20 meters
  • Usable space (on the diagonal): 7.2 0 4.50 32.40 In.
  • the floored area an expensive item-is much smaller. Aesthetically, the dwellings are very pleasing, and they olfer better decorating possibilities. Passageway area is smaller, since part of the inclined spaces is used for that purpose. The proportion of partition walls is also smaller.
  • the design can be standardized by devising, as we have done, a master layout and plan, such as will be set forth hereinafter with reference to the drawings, and then the dwellings can be mass-produced, with another important saving.
  • the furniture is simpler, uses less material, and is therefore less costly.
  • '1 represents a dwelling of the type described, which includes, for example, a series of rooms, such as those referenced by the numbers 2, 3 and 4, arranged adjacent one another at changing levels.
  • Room 2 comprises a ceiling 5, and a floor 6, both of level construction, and side walls 7-8 and 9-10, which are tilted from the vertical, constituting a hexagonal cell.
  • Room 3 is of the same characteristics as 2, and is formed by a ceiling 13, a floor 14 and side walls 10-15 and 16-17, and room 4 also includes a ceiling 18, a floor 19, and side walls 17-20 and 21-22.
  • the assembly thus described rests on horizontal beams 11, disposed at each of the vertices formed by the hexagon of the rooms, being interposed between the ceiling and the floor, and these beams are supported by pillars 12 designed to sustain the assembly.
  • a dwelling comprising an assembly of modules of hexagonal cross section arranged in honeycomb fashion wherein two opposite parallel walls of each hexagonal module are disposed in horizontal planes and the inclined walls of each module interlock with the inclined walls of at least one other module at a different level, horizontal beams disposed at the 'vertices of said hexagons, and vertical pillars supporting all of said beams.
