Abstract

The invention relates to a building for placing on a surface, for instance a house or office, the building comprising:—a support construction;—an exterior covering mounted against the outer side of the support construction;—an interior covering mounted against the inner side of the support construction,—insulation arranged between the exterior covering, interior covering and supported construction; wherein the support construction comprises a number of successively placed annular support elements, wherein the support elements extend substantially parallel and at a determined mutual spacing for the purpose of forming an interior space enclosed by the support elements. The invention also relates to a method for constructing such a building.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A building placeable on a surface, the building comprising:
 a support construction including an outer side and an inner side;   an exterior covering mounted against the outer side of the support construction;   an interior covering mounted against the inner side of the support construction; and   insulation arranged between the exterior covering, the interior covering, and the support construction;   wherein the support construction comprises a number of successively placed annular support elements, wherein the successively placed annular support elements extend substantially parallel and at a determined mutual spacing for the purpose of forming an interior space enclosed by the successively placed annular support elements.   
     
     
         2 . The building as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the support construction is embodied to make the building self-supporting and/or liftable as a whole. 
     
     
         3 . The building as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the building is a self-supporting, modular wooden construction which is configured to be disposed in any orthogonal direction. 
     
     
         4 . The building as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the support construction is embodied so as to provide the building with substantially the same structural properties, including strength and/or stability, in three orthogonal directions. 
     
     
         5 . The building as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the building takes a self-supporting form and is placed via resilient dampers on the surface. 
     
     
         6 . The building as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the support construction is positionable relative to and/or connectable to each other by form-closed connections. 
     
     
         7 . The building as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the determined mutual spacing between successive annular support elements is substantially constant and/or wherein the determined mutual spacing varies between 10 cm and 100 cm. 
     
     
         8 . The building as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the exterior covering and/or the interior covering comprises cladding. 
     
     
         9 . The building as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a layer of cork is arranged on an outer side of the exterior covering and/or an inner side of the interior covering. 
     
     
         10 . The building as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the insulation is formed by one or more hollow elements of insulating material, and/or wherein the insulation is formed by one or more hollow elements filled with insulating material. 
     
     
         11 . The building as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the successively placed annular support elements and/or the exterior covering are manufactured from wood. 
     
     
         12 . The building as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein at least one of successively placed annular elements is directed with a flat side toward a flat side of an opposite one of the successively placed annular elements. 
     
     
         13 . The building as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising coupling elements extending transversely of the successively placed annular support elements for mutual form-closed positioning and coupling of the successively placed annular support elements. 
     
     
         14 . The building as claimed in foregoing  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the successively placed annular support elements is provided with a peripheral recess in which a separate panel-like part is placeable, wherein the recess and the panel-like part are embodied so as to enable a limited displacement in the plane of the panel-like part. 
     
     
         15 . The building as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the successively placed annular support elements with the exterior and interior coverings form an elongate, structurally autonomous box-in-box construction. 
     
     
         16 . The building as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein the determined mutual spacing between the interior and exterior coverings forms a continuous, substantially uninterrupted insulation shell around the inner box of the box-in-box construction. 
     
     
         17 . The building as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein both the interior and exterior coverings comprise insulating material, for the purpose of forming a continuous, substantially uninterrupted second and third insulation shell around the inner box of the box-in-box construction. 
     
     
         18 . The building as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the successively placed annular support elements is manufactured integrally. 
     
     
         19 . The building as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the successively placed annular support elements comprises in use two standing element parts connected via a lower lying element part and an upper lying element part, wherein the two standing element parts are embodied for arranging respectively wall cladding, floor cladding and roof cladding thereagainst. 
     
     
         20 . The building as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising placing units for arranging in or on the surface which are configured for arranging of the building thereon. 
     
     
         21 . The building as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the building is configured for placing in areas with danger of flooding or unstable ground. 
     
     
         22 . An annular support construction for use in a support construction of a building, the annular support construction comprising:
 a number of successively placed annular support elements;   wherein the number of successively placed annular support elements extend substantially parallel and at a determined mutual spacing for the purpose of forming an interior space enclosed by the number of successively placed annular support elements.   
     
     
         23 . A method for constructing a building, the method comprising:
 arranging a number of standing annular support elements with mutual spacing and substantially parallel to each other on a surface;   mutually coupling the number of standing annular support elements so as to form one structural whole; and   providing the the number of standing annular support elements with a covering on an inner side and/or an outer side thereof.   
     
     
         24 . The method as claimed in  claim 23 , further comprising fixing plate material against respective end inner edges and/or end outer edges of the standing annular support elements. 
     
     
         25 . The method as claimed in  claim 23 , further comprising arranging insulating material between the standing annular support elements.
