Definitions
- This invention relates to an architectural concept.
- housing structure means a dwelling unit, a commercial space, a stadium, parking lot and the like.
- agricultural or horticultural use extends to use of the plots for cultivation of plants, vegetables, fruits, flowers and the like. It also includes the growing of plants in a green house.
- Another object of this invention is to provide better living conditions in urban areas.
- Yet another object of the invention is to multiply openness around houses in urban areas.
- Still one more object of this invention is to make better use of the limited land available in urban areas.
- Another object of this invention is to multiply the land area around houses, particularly to provide lush greenery around each of them.
- Another object of this invention is to mitigate the ill effects of pollution in urban areas and reverse global warming. Further, another object of this invention is to eliminate congestion caused by cramped dwellings and by overcrowding of houses/flats and buildings in urban areas. Further, yet another object of this invention is to eliminate vehicular congestion, parking of vehicles on roads causing traffic snarls.
- yet another object of this invention is to combine together qualities of both a luxurious bungalow and a high storied flat, to enhance their qualities and to eliminate their respective shortcomings.
- yet another object of this invention is to provide land area for at least some of the houses for cultivating and producing vegetables and fruits for consumption by the occupant families.
- Another object of this invention is to convert concrete jungles in urban areas into verdurous compassions of green.
- yet another object of this invention is to generate and provide electricity regularly and permanently for dwellings and services in the structure i.e.. to make these structures and houses self dependent in respect of power, the electricity by fixing solar panels harnessing full sunlight and illumination and by installing wind mills making use of high altitude and plentiful breeze; and to reduce the burden on power grids.
- Another object of this invention is to provide a solution for protecting houses, people and their properties from natural calamities such as excessive rainfall, floods, pestilence, water-logging, rising sea level due to global warming and even from the Tsunami!
- yet another object of this invention is to enable one and more particularly the civic authorities to plan a 'dream-cum-true' town or urban area or at least a locality with entire area all around open up to a height of around 10 meters or more up to around 50 meters for absolutely free movements of people, vehicles and for other public uses such as parks, gardens, for agriculture, cultivation, the works!
- dream-towns there can be horizontal connecting road ways, access lanes at a height of around 30 to 50 meters, again at around 60 meters and so on, virtually creating several tiers for free movements within, making "Sky-villages" in towns and even in metropolises a reality.
- one more object of this invention is to do away with the congestion, promote greenery at the same time, making houses and localities self-sufficient in power, water resources, drainage system, vehicles parking and in addition, making the entire ground level available for public uses and in turn, addressing well the problems anticipated by the civic authorities and reduce the burden on them.
- yet another object of this invention is to protect & preserve Heritage buildings, to cover & protect small and large playgrounds, any public place and at the same time to use them for accommodating more and more dwelling and non-dwelling structures, without disturbing and in-fact with protecting their public utility. Protection from hot sunlight and wash-away rains will preserve heritage buildings for ages with substantial reductions in their maintenance costs. On playgrounds, there would be no rain interruptions in matches, games! Playgrounds will be "In-door” since covered and at the same time "Out-door” in view of complete openness and in fact would boast the best of both worlds.

- the solid waste created by the inhabitants of the dwellings may be collected, decomposed treated and used for the landfill itself for the gardens and landscaping.
- Each bungalow unit will have open sub-plot of around 350 sq. meters, area, after leaving around 30 % area required for internal roads, access lanes, some space for recreational purposes.
- One storied bungalow of B. U. A. 440 sq. meters, or two storied bungalow with each floor of 220 sq. meters, is not possible on a sub-plot of 350 sq. meters, as area available for construction is 160 sq. meters only.
- Three storied bungalow is possible with each floor of 147 sq. meters, area and there will be 203 sq. meters, of open area around such bungalow in shape of strips of only around 3 to 4 meters width on all the four sides.
- Four storied bungalow will have each floor of 110 sq. meters and will have open area of 240 sq. meters i.e. 4 meters, wide strips open on two sides and 4.5 meters wide strips on remaining two sides.
- each house would have 70 sq. meters of B.U.A. with likewise 10% for balconies and another around 15% or little more for staircase and lift i.e. collectively 87 sq. meters evenly divided in 2 or 3 floors. They can not be equated to an independent bungalow but can be a row-house i.e. houses in row having one or more common walls in between them. Such houses will have two sides, front and back, open with some place for few trees, small lawn or tiny back-yard! Everything will be a miniature an apology for a bungalow! The plot of 10,000 sq. meters will be somewhat crowded with these 100 houses thereon. Openness would be marginalized and result would be obvious!
- Number of houses may have to be restricted to 20 or 30 so as be good independent bungalows. These houses of course, are prone to thefts, burglaries and occupants really can not keep their house locked or un-manned while going out of town. These houses and occupants would also be exposed to odds out of excessive rainfall, floods, water logging. Rats and reptiles also have access to such houses and of course mosquito- bites!.
- bungalow units say B-3, B-4, B-5 are built on like slabs laid at 150 ft.
- a four storied building (without elevator) with each floor of 3125 sq. meters, accommodating 25 houses on each floor will have around 20 meters, of open area on two sides and 25 meters open on the remaining two sides.
- a thirteen storied ( one vacant floor) building with each floor of 1000 sq. meters, will be accommodating 8 houses on each floor.
- a thirty-four storied (one vacant floor) building with each floor of 375 sq. meters will be accommodating only 3 houses on each floor.
- a fifty-one storied (one vacant floor) building with each floor of 250 sq. meters will be accommodating only 2 houses on each floor.
- Each floor of such building will be accommodating 3 to 25 houses meaning thereby that each of the houses, in fact many of them, will not have both east west opening doors-windows.
- Houses only in buildings more than 25 storey tall (two, three or four houses being on each floor) will all have east-west openings while in all other options all houses can not have such doors-windows opening on east-west sides. This obviously means that most of such houses will be deprived of adequate sunlight, illumination and sufficient ventilation. Needless to say, all these houses can not have the pleasures & facilities of a bungalow let aside the grace & stateliness! In a flat system, everything outside your flat is common, passages, staircase, lawn, if any, and everything. So the feeling of ownership and privacy is limited only within the flat.
- first artificial plot i.e. slab of wing A will be at a height of 50 ft
- that of wing B will be at a height of 62.5 ft
- wing C at 75 ft
- wing D at 87.5 ft.
- Sufficient vertical gap of 12.5 feet between the adjacent consecutive bungalows and the vertical gap of 50 feet between any two bungalows one above another will provide all the openness, full sunlight, all the illumination to each of the houses.
- the minimum gap of 12.5 feet would mean that at any point of height there would be only one house in the entire plot area and that thus, each house will have nearly 10,000 sq. meters of area open around it.
- Each house will be on the artificially created independent plot i.e. the slab of the maximum permissible area up to around 3600 sq. meters which may even be as large as the total area of the given plot (in case of single petal construction).
- This artificial plot such as large sized lawns, gardens with different trees, kitchen gardens with several varieties of vegetables, swimming pool, badminton court, ample parking area, other trees, bushes, compound, gates the works !
- the architectural structure in accordance with this invention and the method of making this structure combines the benefits of both a bungalow and a high rise apartment and at the same time eliminating the limitations of both conventional structures.
