Definitions

  • a number of the houses have on their rear side an inner court which may form a garden, these houses beingarranged in at least one row in staggered positions.
  • the inner court is surrounded by permanent walls.
  • the inner courts are for at least the major part not exposed or within the view of the occupants of houses other than that to which the court belongs.
  • the houses which have a shed or a garage on the rear side, are relatively oifset over a distance which corresponds to the width of the shed or garage.
  • the houses are arranged in two rows, while the sheds or garages face each other.
  • the longitudinal center lines of a house of one row and of a house of the other row are preferably at an obtuse angle to each other.
  • the sheds or garages are arranged on either side of a road, while the center lines of the sheds or garages on one side of the road are at an acute angle to the center lines of the sheds or garages on the other side of the road.
  • the arrangement comprises a row of houses which rest on foundation beams extending transversely to the direction of the row, these beams being arranged so that two neighboring houses rest on part of their length and that only one of the houses rests on a further part of their length.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a number of houses, which are arranged in staggered positions.
  • FIG. 2 shows on a reduced scale a plan view of two rows of houses arranged in staggered positions with inner courts forming gardens and
  • FIG. 3 is a side elevation of the rows of houses of FIG. 2.
  • FIG. 4 is a plan view of two rows of houses embodying a further aspect of the invention, a shed being erected in the garden of each house in the form of an L.
  • FIG. 5 is a side elevation .of the rows of houses of FIG. 4.
  • FIG. 6 shows two houses of the rows as shown in FIGS.
  • Each of the houses shown, in FIG. 1 is built up from a number of box-shaped prefabricated sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, each comprising one or more dwelling spaces of the houses, which is shown in detail for the house A.
  • the six interconnected sections of each house rest on their sides on foundation beams 7 and 8, which are normally arranged in the soil, but which are shown in this figure above the ground for the sake of clarity.
  • the foundation beam 7 projects on the rear side of the house A beyond the hindmost, box-shaped section 3 over a part 9 and the foundation beam 8 projects on the front side of the house over a part 10. Consequently, two houses rest on the foundation beam over part of its length, whereas only one house rests on the ends thereof.
  • houses B and C are erected, which are built up, similarly to the house A, from box-shaped prefabricated sections.
  • the house B is offset to the front with respect to the house A over the width of one boxshaped section which rests on the same foundation beam '8.
  • the house C is offset to the rear with respect to the house A and rests on the same foundation beam 7.
  • the hindmost box-shaped section of the house C rests on the part 9 of the foundation beam 7, projecting beyond thehindmost box-shaped section 4 of the house A, whereas the foremost box-shaped section of the house B rests on the forwardly projecting part 10 of the foundation beam 8.
  • each of the houses A, B and C is arranged in staggered positions in one row alongside a road 11.
  • Each of the houses A, B and C has an inner court 12, 13 and 14 respectively, forming a garden.
  • These inner courts are surrounded by the rear side of the house A, the front side of the shed 15, a side of the neighboring shed 16 and a side of the house C on Y the other side.
  • the rest of the boundary of the inner court 12 is surrounded by permanent fences, for example walls 18 and 19, the height of which is preferably at least equal to the height of the shed.
  • the houses D, E and F have sheds 23, 24 and 25 respectively, with exits 26, 27 and 28 respectively. They have furthermore inner courts 23A, 24A and 25A respectively, which are completely surrounded by buildings, and thus unexposed to the sight of non-inhabitants. Moreover, the two rows of houses are arranged at such a large distance from each other that from the second story of a house of one row A, Band C people substantially are unable to seeinto the inner court of a house of a further row D,
  • the arrangement of the houses described above has the advantage that the garages are readily accessible; if desired the road 29 between the garages may be made accessible only for one-way traffic.
  • the aforesaid arrangement of the garages may also be employed in the case in which the houses are not arranged in staggered positions.
  • the arrangement of the garages, in which the longitudinal center line P, P of a garage of one row is at an acute angle to the longitudinal center line Q, Q of a garage of the other row is particularly favorable for an economic use of the available ground surface. 7
  • FIGS. 4, 5 and 6 correspond largely with those of FIGS. 1, 2, and 3 and corresponding parts are therefore designated by the same references.
  • Each house comprises sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.
  • the houses have inner courts 30, which may form gardens, and which are closed on one side and on th rear side by a shed 31. This shed may, if desired, be used as a garage.
  • the houses are arranged obliquely, as the houses of FIG. 2, but the difference is that the houses have their facades facing each other.
  • FIG. 6 The houses are shown in FIG. 6 on a greater scale. On the left-hand part of the figure there is given a cross-sectional View of the house and the shed at the level of the sections 1, 2, and 3 and on the right-hand part of the figure there is given a cross sectional view of the sections 4, 5, and 6.
  • the sections 1, 2, and 3 comprise a living room 32, a passage 33, a kitchen 34, a toilet 35, a staircase 36 and a cupboard 37, whereas the sections 4, 5, and 6 comprise rooms 38, 39, 40 and 41 and a bathroom 42.
  • FIGURE 6 On the right-hand part of FIGURE 6 there is shown a plan view of the shed 31 and on the left-hand part of the figure is a sectional view of such shed.
  • the shed has a door 43 for a part 44, which may serve as a garage, and two storage spaces 45 and 46.
  • a plurality of similarly shaped adjoining single family houses disposed in a row, each of said houses having at least two stories above ground level and being substantially rectangular in plan, the front and back of each of said houses extending forward of the corresponding front and back of the preceding house by a substantial distance, a substantially rectangular court immediately to the rear of each of said houses, the fronts and backs of all of said houses being parallel to each other, each of said courts aligned with its corresponding house, said courts each enclosed by a boundary structure approximately one story high together with the back of the corresponding house and the side of the preceding house, whereby a view of each of said courts is substantially barred except to occupants of the house corresponding to the court involved.
