THREE-DIMENSIONAL RESIDENTIAL ARCHITECTURAL STRUCTURE

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

The present application is a Continuation of International Application No. PCT/KR2023/001258 filed on Jan. 27, 2023, which claims priority to Korean patent application number 10-2023-0008541, filed on Jan. 20, 2023, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a three-dimensional residential architectural structure, and more particularly, to a structure capable of efficiently organizing residential space by dividing it into multiple three-dimensional spaces based on height, while minimizing the use of railings and stair structures to reduce the risk of falling accidents.

BACKGROUND ART

Recently, due to the increase in single-household dwellings, there has been a growing demand for compact residential units such as apartments, officetels, and studio-type housing, resulting in a trend toward smaller residential spaces.

Because such residential units typically have limited floor area, they often face constraints in efficient space utilization.

To address this, urban residential buildings such as officetels, studio apartments, and compact apartments have increasingly adopted duplex-type structures, where the floor-to-ceiling height of a single story is increased and the interior is divided into an upper and lower space, thereby enhancing the usability of the space.

Generally, in such duplex structures, a middle floor is installed within the interior space to divide it into an upper and a lower level.

In this case, the lower level is formed beneath the middle floor and is typically used as an active space, such as for working or daily living.

Accordingly, the middle floor is built with sufficient height to allow users to stand and move comfortably, and stairs or ladders are installed to provide access between levels.

However, when such duplex structures are applied, the height difference between the middle floor and the base floor can be quite large, which has frequently resulted in falling accidents—especially involving children—with many cases leading to serious injuries or fatalities.

Additionally, in small-sized duplex units, the staircases are often made steeper or replaced with ladders to reduce the space they occupy, which further increases the risk of falling accidents.

Accordingly, there is a need for a three-dimensional residential architectural structure that divides space vertically to enhance spatial efficiency while minimizing the risk of falling accidents.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The detailed description set forth below, together with the accompanying drawings, is intended to illustrate exemplary embodiments of the invention and is not intended to represent the only forms in which the invention may be implemented.

In the drawings, elements unrelated to the description may be omitted for clarity, and the same or similar reference numerals may be used throughout the specification to denote identical or similar components.

In the embodiments of the present invention, expressions such as “or” and “at least one of” are to be interpreted to mean any one or a combination of the listed items, unless explicitly stated otherwise.

In the following embodiments, the size, thickness, and shape of each component may be exaggerated for clarity and explanation, and may differ from those of the actual three-dimensional residential architectural structure.

Furthermore, references to upper, lower, lateral, etc., are made for convenience of description based on certain components, and may differ depending on the orientation or arrangement of the structure.

The three-dimensional residential architectural structure of the present invention may be applied to various buildings such as single-family houses, multi-family houses, apartments, row houses, multiplex houses, and dormitories, and is particularly suitable for residential spaces having a floor-to-floor height of approximately 4,500 mm or less and a ceiling height of approximately 4,300 mm or less.

Here, the “floor-to-floor height” refers to the vertical distance between the floor slabs of two adjacent stories based on a concrete structural frame, and the “ceiling height” refers to the distance between the floor and the ceiling within a single story, also based on the concrete frame.

A detailed description of a three-dimensional residential architectural structure according to an embodiment of the present invention will now be provided.

FIG. 1 is a plan view of a three-dimensional residential architectural structure according to an embodiment of the present invention; FIG. 2 is a view illustrating a first level according to the embodiment; FIG. 3 is a view illustrating a second level according to the embodiment; FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A′ of FIG. 1; FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along line B-B′ of FIG. 1; and FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along line C-C′ of FIG. 1.

Referring to FIGS. 1 through 6, a three-dimensional residential architectural structure 10 according to the present invention includes a floor, a ceiling, and first and second levels 11 and 12, which are installed at different heights between the floor and the ceiling.

The floor may be formed as a flat surface, allowing a user to safely walk and occupy the first story of the space.

As shown in FIG. 1, one or more pieces of furniture or facilities may be arranged on the floor.

For example, the floor may be furnished with items such as a sofa, rug, side table, storage cabinet, sink, and faucet.

The first level 11 is installed between the floor and the ceiling in a portion of the residential space and is connected to the floor via stairs 13. The second level 12 is installed at a height above the first level 11 between the floor and the ceiling and is disposed to be movable with respect to the first level.

For example, the first level 11 may include a series of step-shaped platforms that function as stairs 134, allowing the user to step up from the floor through the first level to reach the second level 12.

The second level 12 is positioned higher than the first level 11 and is arranged to be accessible from the floor via the first level 11.

In one embodiment, at least a portion of the first level 11 may be formed as a flat surface of sufficient area to allow for practical use by a resident.

A user may stand and engage in daily activities or install furniture on the first level 11, and in conjunction with the furniture placed on the second level 12, efficient spatial utilization may be achieved.

In conventional duplex residential structures, the space equivalent to the second level 12 is directly connected to the floor by stairs, which creates a large vertical drop and increases the risk of severe injury in the event of a fall.

Furthermore, in small-sized duplex units, staircases are often made steep or replaced with ladders to save space, which has also contributed to frequent fall-related accidents.

However, in the three-dimensional residential architectural structure 10 of the present invention, the second level 12, which corresponds to the elevated space in a conventional duplex, is not directly connected to the floor. Instead, a first level 11 is additionally formed between the second level 12 and the floor.

That is, there is no direct path from the second level 12 to the floor without passing through the first level 11, thereby preventing direct falling accidents from the second level to the floor.

In addition, the height difference between the second level 12 and the first level 11 may be formed to be approximately equivalent to the height of a typical bed, making the likelihood of injury from a fall extremely low.

The height difference between the first level 11 and the floor is also significantly smaller than that of conventional duplex structures, thereby preventing serious injury even in the event of a fall from the first level to the floor.

Furthermore, in the present invention, since the staircase 13 is installed between the first level 11, which is located below the second level 12, and the floor, the area occupied by the stairs in the living space can be significantly reduced compared to conventional duplex structures. Additionally, the slope of the staircase 13 can be formed more gently within the same area, thus enhancing user safety.

In one embodiment, the height difference between the first level 11 and the second level 12 may be within approximately 850 mm, or approximately 750 mm, allowing a user to move between the two levels without the need for stairs.

In this case, the thickness of each of the first level 11 and the second level 12 may be formed to be approximately 200 mm based on a concrete structural standard.

Although the illustrated embodiment in the drawings shows the second level 12 having a larger area than the first level 11, the invention is not limited thereto, and the positions, shapes, and areas of the first level 11 and the second level 12 may be implemented in various configurations.

When the above-described configuration is applied to a residential space, the space can be divided into multiple zones based on their intended use, as described below.

First, a first space 1000 having a first height from the floor to the ceiling is formed; a second space 2000 having a second height is formed beneath the second level 12; and a third space 3000 having a third height may be formed beneath the first level 11.

Additionally, a fourth space 4000 having a fourth height is formed above the first level 11, and a fifth space 5000 having a fifth height is formed above the second level 12.

Here, the first height may be set to approximately 4,300 mm or less, which corresponds to the ceiling height, and may be formed to be around 3,800 mm.

Accordingly, the first space 1000, having relatively fewer height constraints compared to the other spaces, may be used as the most active living space within the residential unit.

For example, the first space 1000 may serve as a living room for activities such as exercise or social gatherings and may be furnished with various items such as a sofa, TV, and exercise equipment.

In addition, the first space 1000 may be provided with a large window connected to the outside to improve ventilation efficiency and may be equipped with air purification and heating/cooling systems that take advantage of the high ceiling height.

Subsequently, the second height may be formed to be 2,400 mm or more, and may specifically be formed to be approximately 2,750 mm.

For example, one or more pieces of furniture may be arranged in the second space 2000.

As specific examples, an entrance, shoe cabinet, and dry basin may be arranged, and rooms such as a bathroom, restroom, boiler room, and balcony may be provided.

In addition, kitchen-related facilities such as a refrigerator, kimchi refrigerator, gas stove, induction cooktop, sink, dining table, and storage cabinet may be installed. Moreover, the space may be utilized in various ways as a daily living area suitable for less physically active use compared to the first space 1000, such as with the placement of a bed, bookshelf, and the like.

The third height may be formed to be approximately 2,250 mm or less, and more specifically around 1,600 mm.

Since the third space 3000 is formed with a lower height than the second space 2000, it may impose limitations on free movement in a standing posture by an adult male and may thus be used as a simple storage area such as a closet or utility space.

For example, the third space 3000 may include a sink or a door section.

The sink may be formed in a recessed portion on one side within the third space 3000 and may be used for food preparation. The size and shape of the recessed portion may be set to any suitable dimensions for forming the sink.

The door section may be formed on the opposite side of the third space 3000 and may be implemented as an openable and closable hinged door adjacent to the sink.

A user may enter and exit the interior of the third space 3000 through the door section, and to facilitate this, at least a portion of the third space 3000 may include an inner hollow area.

In one embodiment, the third space 3000 may include one or more storage compartments configured to store various items, and accordingly, an empty space capable of accommodating stored goods may be formed within the interior of the third space 3000.

For example, clothing, household goods, and the like may be stored in the third space 3000, and home appliances such as a washing machine, dryer, or freezer may be arranged therein.

In particular, considering the typical usage of such appliances, a top-opening refrigerator may be placed in the aforementioned second space 2000, while side-opening storage appliances such as drawer-type or swing-door refrigerators may be placed in the third space 3000.

In one example, a television may be installed within the storage compartment, in which case the third space 3000 can function as a TV stand.

Subsequently, the fourth height may be formed to allow an adult male to stand upright, for example, provided to be approximately 1,900 mm or more, or about 2,000 mm.

Since the fourth space 4000 permits an upright posture by an adult male, when a user stands on the upper surface of the first level 11, their head does not reach the ceiling, thus enhancing spatial comfort and usability.

In one example, the fourth space 4000 may include a wardrobe section.

The wardrobe section may be extended from the bottom surface of the second level 12 in the direction of the first level 11. In such a case, the wardrobe may be spaced apart from the first level 11 or may be formed such that part of the wardrobe contacts the first level 11.

As such, the wardrobe section can be configured in a form that spans both the second level 12 and the first level 11, thereby enhancing the usability of the fourth space 4000.

Although the drawings illustrate an embodiment in which the third space 3000 and the fourth space 4000 are formed with relatively small areas, the invention is not limited thereto. The area of the first level 11 may be expanded to allow for greater use of the third space 3000 and the fourth space 4000.

Subsequently, the fifth height may be formed to be insufficient for a user to stand upright and may be provided to be approximately 750 mm or less, or about 1,400 mm or less.

The fifth space 5000, which is located above the second space 2000, may be used for activities that do not require an upright posture, such as for a sleeping area or for storage purposes.

However, since an adult cannot stand upright in the fifth space 5000, there is a limitation in placing furniture such as a desk within this space.

Nonetheless, by utilizing the height difference between the fourth space 4000 and the fifth space 5000, the fifth space 5000 can be used as a multifunctional desk such as a writing desk or a vanity.

For example, a chair may be placed in the fourth space 4000 adjacent to the fifth space 5000, and part of the fifth space 5000 may serve as a desktop surface.

By adopting such a structure, a working space for desk-related tasks, despite height restrictions, can be effectively formed within the nearby fourth space 4000, thereby optimizing user movement and circulation.

Furthermore, this allows for space savings, as there is no need to separately install desks or vanities within the fourth space 4000.

The above-described uses of the first space 1000 through the fifth space 5000 are merely exemplary applications of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope thereof. Each space may be freely utilized according to its height and functional needs.

Additionally, the area and layout of the first through fifth spaces are not limited to the illustrated drawings and may be modified or adapted in various forms according to user preferences.

The foregoing description has addressed the configuration of the three-dimensional residential architectural structure 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention.

However, the structure 10 according to the present invention may also be provided in various other forms as described below.

According to one embodiment of the invention, by utilizing the height difference between the first level 11 and the second level 12, a portion of the second level 12 adjacent to the first level 11 may be used as a desk or vanity.

That is, a chair may be arranged along the edge of the first level 11 adjacent to the second level 12, and the second level 12 may function as a desktop or vanity surface.

Specifically, the desk may span across a portion of the upper surface of the first level 11 and the lower surface of the second level 12.

For example, as shown in FIG. 5, a portion of the desk may be supported by the first level 11, while the remaining portion may be supported by the second level 12.

In this case, a step may be formed in the first level 11 to facilitate supporting the desk, and the first level 11 may be manufactured from materials and structures capable of bearing the load of the desk installed above.

In one example, an extension portion may be provided at the end of the second level 12 to extend a predetermined length over the first level 11. The user may utilize this extension portion as a desk or vanity, and after use, the extension portion may be retracted.

In this case, when a long bench-type chair is placed on the first level 11, the chair may also serve as a staircase 13 for moving from the first level 11 to the second level 12.

By adopting such a structure, it is unnecessary to separately install furniture such as a desk or vanity on the first level 11. Accordingly, space occupied by furniture within the fourth space 4000 can be minimized, thereby improving spatial efficiency.

The form of the desk described above is not limited to the illustrated drawings and may be implemented in any suitable form that maximizes the utilization of the upper surface of the first level 11 or the upper space of the second level 12.

While the above description has illustrated the furniture disposed on the first level 11 as a desk, it is not limited thereto.

Specifically, since the ceiling height from the first level 11 to the ceiling allows a standing user to pass through, various types of furniture, such as sofas, beds, storage cabinets, and chairs, may be arranged on the first level 11 to support user movement and daily activities.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, the three-dimensional residential architectural structure may further include an extension member (not shown).

The extension member may be configured such that a portion thereof is extendable and retractable in a horizontal direction on the lateral side that connects the first level and the second level.

In one example, the extension member may extend horizontally from the upper end of the lateral side and may be used as a desk.

In other words, by placing a chair on the first level, the upper surface of the extension member may serve as a work surface.

In another example, the extension member may function as a staircase connecting the first level to the second level.

Such a staircase may be designed to address the difficulty children face in moving between the fourth space and the fifth space due to the height difference between the first and second levels when children are present in the living space.

For example, the extension member may comprise a plurality of step-like structures that extend horizontally from the lower portion of the lateral side between the first level and the second level.

In this case, the extension distance from the lower to the upper portion of each extension member may be gradually adjusted to form a multi-step staircase.

Alternatively, a portion of the lateral side connecting the first level and the second level, or a portion of the second level itself, may be retracted in a horizontal or vertical direction to form a staircase.

In such cases, the lateral portion between the first and second levels serves to guide movement via the staircase, thereby enabling safer movement between the fourth space and the fifth space.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, the three-dimensional residential architectural structure may further include a fall prevention facility (not shown) on the first level and the second level adjacent to the first space.

The fall prevention facility may be installed in the form of a fence along a railing on the first level 11, thereby ensuring the user's safety during walking and activities.

In one embodiment, the fall prevention facility may be operatively linked to the operation of the aforementioned extension member.

In this case, for example, when a child enters the third space or the fourth space, the activation or deactivation of the fall prevention facility may be automatically controlled based on whether the extension member is in operation, according to user needs.

Further, the three-dimensional residential architectural structure according to one embodiment of the present invention may include a lifting member (not shown).

The lifting member may be provided on the first level to be vertically movable, and its height may be adjusted between the first level and the ceiling. The upper surface of the lifting member may be used as a multi-purpose work surface.

For example, when the height of the lifting member is adjusted between the first level and the second level, it may serve as a staircase connecting the two levels.

In addition, when the height of the lifting member is controlled such that its upper surface is positioned higher than the second level, the user may use the upper surface of the lifting member as a desk from the second level.

Furthermore, when the lifting member is not in use, its height may be lowered to match that of the first level so as not to interfere with user movement, thereby maximizing spatial utilization.

The use of the lifting member is not limited thereto. Since the height of the lifting member can be freely adjusted between the first level and the ceiling, it may be used as a variety of built-in furniture such as a workbench, desk, table, or storage space.

Here, the extension member and the lifting member described above may be configured to be extendable and retractable through the following detailed components.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, the three-dimensional residential architectural structure may further include a rack gear (not shown), a pinion gear (not shown), and a rotary motor (not shown).

The rack gear may be embedded vertically or horizontally inside the first level or second level along the path through which the extension member or the lifting member is extended and retracted.

The pinion gears may be provided in a pair on the upper and lower sides or both sides of the extension member or the lifting member so as to engage with the rack gear.

The rotary motor may be embedded in the extension member or the lifting member and functions to rotate the pinion gears to drive them along the rack gear.

That is, by rotating the pinion gears using the rotary motor, the pinion gears engage with the rack gear and move along it, thereby causing the extension member or the lifting member to be extended or retracted between the first level and the second level.

Additionally, according to one embodiment, the extension member may be controlled in terms of extension and retraction by an actuator using hydraulic or pneumatic pressure. For the lifting member, in addition to the actuator mechanism, a telescopic structure or a scissor lift mechanism may also be employed to enable vertical movement.

The mechanisms for extending and retracting the extension member and the lifting member are not limited to the descriptions above, and various modifications and alterations may be made by those skilled in the art.

Furthermore, according to one embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of second levels may be formed in the residential space and may be arranged to be movable relative to a single first level.

That is, since access to each of the second levels 12 can be achieved through a single staircase 13 via the first level 11 from the floor of the residential space, it is sufficient to provide only one staircase 13 that connects the first level 11 and the floor, thereby minimizing the space occupied by the staircase 13.

Moreover, when adopting the structure of the present invention, the upper parts of the second levels 12, which are formed apart from each other, can be utilized as independent fifth spaces 5000. Likewise, the lower parts of the second levels 12 may be used as independent second spaces 2000, allowing for further spatial segmentation and utilization.

That is, one or more spatially separated fifth spaces 5000 may be arranged with a first level 11 placed in between. The user can step onto the first level 11 and move from one fifth space 5000 to another.

In the drawings, an example is illustrated where two second levels 12 are arranged to be accessible via a single first level 11; however, the number and arrangement of second levels 12 are not limited thereto and may vary. The heights of the multiple second levels 12 may also differ from one another.

In addition, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the first space 1000 may be arranged adjacent to all of the second to fifth spaces (2000 to 5000) and may be accessible to the second space 2000.

For example, the entire face where the first space 1000 is adjacent to the fourth space 4000 and the fifth space 5000 may not be completely enclosed by walls, but instead may be open at the top so as to be connected with the first space 1000.

In other words, railings may be provided on the first level 11 and the second level 12 adjacent to the first space 1000.

In this case, when a large window connecting the first space 1000 with the outside is formed, the window of the first space 1000 may facilitate ventilation and air circulation for both the fourth space 4000 and the fifth space 5000.

According to one embodiment, glass windows may be provided on the first level 11 and second level 12 adjacent to the first space 1000.

In other words, windows may be formed on the walls adjacent to the first space 1000, the fourth space 4000, and the fifth space 5000, thereby facilitating natural lighting and securing the view, as well as providing a sense of expanded space to minimize the resident's feeling of confinement.

Furthermore, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the second space 2000 is directly connected to the fourth space 4000 via the staircase 13.

That is, since movement from the second space 2000 to the fourth space 4000 is possible without passing through the third space 3000, the user's movement path is not restricted, thereby offering greater walking convenience.

In addition, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the third space 3000 and the fourth space 4000, formed by the first level 11 and the staircase 13, may be modular and configured to be movable and fixable on the floor.

For example, the first level 11 may be placed at an arbitrary location on the floor to serve as a passage between the floor and the second level 12.

In this case, the first level 11 and the staircase 13 may be moved along the floor by external force, and after movement to a desired location, they may be fixed to the floor surface so that the user can safely utilize the staircase 13.

As described above, the three-dimensional residential architectural structure 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention offers the following advantages.

In the structure 10 of the present invention, the first level 11 is formed by gathering upper spaces, such as leftover spaces that do not require height, e.g., spaces for simple storage.

Accordingly, by arranging the third space 3000 below and the fourth space 4000 above the first level 11, previously unused leftover areas can be divided and newly utilized, thereby providing an advantage of highly efficient space usage.

In addition, by further providing the second level 12 formed higher than the first level 11 in consideration of the user's height, it is possible to secure the second space 2000 beneath the second level 2 which allows relatively free activity compared to the third space 3000.

Moreover, the fifth space 5000 may be formed in the upper leftover area and used as a space for activities with fewer height constraints, such as a sleeping area.

That is, by effectively separating and utilizing otherwise difficult-to-use leftover areas, all regions within the residential space can be utilized both horizontally and vertically, enabling three-dimensional spatial division. This results in an effective expansion of usable living area, offering a space enlargement effect relative to the same floor area.

In conventional multi-story structures, all edge portions of the upper floor typically require railings, which creates a high risk of falls. As such, fall accidents, especially among children, have frequently occurred and often resulted in fatalities.

In contrast, by applying the structure of the present invention, the second level 12 is disposed adjacent to the first level 11, minimizing the need for railings and significantly reducing the risk of falls.

Further, by reducing the height difference between the intermediate floor and the base floor compared to conventional structures, even if a fall occurs, it is less likely to result in severe injury or death, thereby significantly improving safety.

Particularly, in the present invention, the second through fifth spaces 2000 to 5000 are all arranged adjacent to the first space 1000, thereby enabling visual openness through the first space 1000 from each space, minimizing the feeling of confinement and facilitating natural lighting and ventilation.

Moreover, by applying the structure of the present invention, it is possible to form a plurality of second levels 12 spaced apart from each other within a single residential unit, and to independently form a plurality of fifth spaces 5000 above them.

In contrast, conventional multi-story structures typically allow only one mezzanine level per unit, and even when subdivided into multiple zones, they could not be separated into completely independent spaces due to structural limitations.

However, in the present invention, since access to each of the second levels 12 is provided only via the first level 11, it is easy to configure the fifth spaces 5000 above them as spatially separated, independent areas.

Accordingly, by arranging both the first level 11 and second level 12, it becomes easier to implement structurally diverse layouts within the residential space.

Hereinafter, a three-dimensional residential architectural structure according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described.

FIG. 7 is a perspective view of a three-dimensional residential architectural structure according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 7, the three-dimensional residential architectural structure 100 may include a lower section, an upper section, and a staircase connecting the two.

The three-dimensional residential architectural structure 100 may include a floor 110, a loft 120, and a furniture module 130.

The floor 110 may represent the lower section of the three-dimensional residential architectural structure 100, the loft 120 may represent the upper section, and the furniture module 130 may correspond to arbitrary furniture arranged on the floor 110.

In the embodiment, the furniture module 130 may include one or more storage units 136.

In the embodiment, the multi-level architectural structure 100 may further include a desk module 140 placed on an upper surface of the furniture module 130.
