Arrangement of a store room for residential buildings comprising stacked apartments

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.

1 . Arrangement of a store room for residential buildings comprising stacked apartments, in which both an external room and a living room have an elevated ceiling height which allows a good light infiltration to deep into the living area and nevertheless permits an extensive utilization of space, yet maintains the living comfort achieved with a high ceiling, wherein a store room ( 23 ) is built in the shadow region ( 18 ), i.e. in the upper region of the living room ( 11 ) of the lower apartment ( 1 ). 
   
   
       2 . Arrangement of a store room according to  claim 1 , wherein only the shadow region ( 18 ′) of the living room ( 11 ′) of the lower apartment ( 1 ′) is affected by said built-in store room ( 23 ), so that the light infiltration into the living area of the lower apartment ( 1 ′) is not substantially reduced. 
   
   
       3 . Arrangement of a store room according to  claim 1 , wherein said store room ( 23 ) can be reached only from the above-situated apartment ( 2 ). 
   
   
       4 . Arrangement of a store room according to  claim 1 , wherein, relative to the room height of the living area ( 10 ), the external room ( 12 ) has 1.5 to 2.5 times the height, the high living room ( 11 ′) has 1.1 to 1.5 times the height, and the store room ( 23 ) above the high living room ( 11 ′) has 0.7 to 0.9 times the height.
