Vertically stacked condominium units

A building construction for an apartment or condominium comprising,

• a pair of building units each defining a self-contained living space, a first one of said units being spaced vertically adjacent to the second other one of said units, each of said first and second units including at opposing lateral ends a vertically extending demising wall, and further including an interior vertical dividing wall interposed between and parallel to said sidewalls,
• a first generally planar horizontal slab spanning between said sidewalls and defining an upper ceiling of said first unit,
• a second generally planar horizontal slab spaced approximately 24 to 35 feet vertically beneath said first slab, said second slab spanning between said sidewalls and defining a lower floor of said second unit
• each of said units further including a principal living area defined by a first one of said demising walls and said dividing wall, and a secondary living area defined laterally by the dividing wall and the second other one of said demising walls,
• the principal living area of the first unit being spaced vertically above the principal living area of the second unit and separated therefrom by a horizontal first floor surface spanning between said dividing wall and said first demising wall, said first floor surface being located approximately half way between said first slab and said second slab,
• the secondary living area of the first unit being spaced above and separated from the secondary living area of the second unit by a horizontal second floor surface, said second floor surface being located approximately one third the distance between said first and second slabs from a first one of said first slab and said second slab, and
• a horizontal third floor surface spanning between said dividing wall and said second demising wall, the third floor surface located approximately half way between the second floor surface and the second other one of said first slab and said second slab.

An apartment or condominium building module construction comprising,

• a pair of units each defining a self-contained living space, a first one of said units being spaced vertically directly above the second other said unit, said first and second units being laterally defined by a pair of parallel vertically extending sidewalls, and further including an interior vertical dividing wall interposed between and parallel to said sidewalls,
• a first generally planar horizontal slab spanning between said sidewalls and defining an upper ceiling of said first unit,
• a second generally planar horizontal slab spaced vertically beneath said first slab, said second slab spanning between said sidewalls and defining a lower floor of said second unit,
• each of said units further including a principal living area defined by a first one of said sidewalls and said dividing wall, and a secondary living area defined laterally by the dividing wall and the second other one of said sidewalls,
• the principal living area of the first unit being spaced vertically directly above the principal living area of the second unit and separated therefrom by a horizontally extending principal area floor surface spanning between said dividing wall and said first sidewall, said principal area floor surface being located approximately half way between said first slab and said second slab,
• the secondary living area of the first unit being spaced directly above and separated from the secondary living area of the second unit by a horizontally extending secondary floor surface spaced approximately one third the distance between said first and second slabs from a selected one of said first slab and said second slab.

An apartment or condominium building module construction comprising,

• a pair of units each defining a self-contained living space, a first one of said units being spaced vertically directly above the second other said unit, said first and second units being laterally defined by a pair of parallel vertically extending sidewalls, and further including an interior central dividing wall interposed between and parallel to said sidewalls,
• a first planar horizontal slab spanning between said sidewalls and defining an upper ceiling of said first unit,
• a second planar horizontal slab spaced about 2.5 storeys vertically beneath said first slab, said second slab spanning between said sidewalls and defining a lower floor of said second unit,
• each of said units further including a principal living area defined laterally by a first one of said sidewalls and said dividing wall, and a secondary living area defined laterally by the dividing wall and the second other one of said sidewalls,
• the principal living area of the first unit being spaced vertically directly above the secondary living area of the second unit and separated therefrom by a horizontally extending principal area floor surface spanning between said dividing wall and said first sidewall, said principal area floor surface being located approximately 1.5 storeys above said second slab,
• the secondary living area of the first unit being spaced directly above and separated from the primary living area of the second unit by a horizontally extending secondary floor surface spaced approximately 1.5 storeys below said first slab.
