Abstract
Barrier-free multiple level residential housing can be constructed by employing ramps between adjacent housing levels where the housing levels are offset by one half the normal full story height found in multiple story houses. The ramps are constructed in a stacked and side-by-side manner so that the full standard height between housing levels is maintained between the ramps that are stacked one above the other.
Claims2
A method for constructing a barrier-free handicap accessible residence in which all building levels are connected by ramps comprising:
- a) a building in which each building level is offset from the next highest or lowest building level by one-half story;
- b) a first set of ramps which begin on levels separated by a full story and are similarly sloped and are stacked one above the another;
- and
- c) a second set of ramps which begin on levels separated by a full story similarly sloped and stacked one above the other but which levels are offset from the levels of the first set of ramps by one-half story.
