A multi-storey building according to the invention has a plurality of intermediate stacks and each intermediate stack connects to the next intermediate stack adjacently by a plurality of sky terraces. The plurality of sky terraces is alternately disposed at successive stories.

Claims (61)

1. A multi-storey building comprising:

a plurality of intermediate stacks; and

sky terraces concatenating one intermediate stack of the plurality of intermediate stacks and another intermediate stack of the plurality of intermediate stacks; wherein

at least one sky terrace is a communal or landscaping area accessible from common areas within the multi-storey building,

at least one of the intermediate stacks concatenate a first plurality of sky terraces and a second plurality of sky terraces,

the first plurality of sky terraces are vertically spaced apart from one another by at least two stories, and

the first and second plurality of sky terraces are disposed on different stories;

wherein a storey of the intermediate stack further comprises one or more habitable units, with at least one habitable unit on the first side of the stack which adjoins to one of the first plurality of sky terraces, and at least one habitable unit on the second side of the stack which adjoins to one of the second plurality of sky terraces, the first and second sides being vertically spaced apart by at least one storey.

2. A multi-storey building according to claim 1 , wherein

one storey of the one intermediate stack comprises at least one habitable unit.

3. The multi-storey building according to claim 1 further comprising a plurality of corner stacks, wherein

at least one corner stack adjoins to one of the first and second plurality of sky terraces.

4. A multi-storey building according to claim 3 , wherein

one storey of the at least one corner stack comprises at least one habitable unit.

5. The multi-storey building according to claim 1 , wherein

the first plurality of sky terraces on one side of the one intermediate stack is disposed alternately at a lower or a higher storey relative to the second plurality of sky terraces disposed on another side of the same intermediate stack.

6. The multi-storey building according to claim 5 , wherein

the first plurality of sky terraces is provided on one side of the one intermediate stack and disposed alternately at a lower or a higher storey relative to the second plurality of sky terraces disposed on another side of the same intermediate stack, this arrangement being repeated vertically.

7. The multi-storey building according to claim 3 , wherein

a most remote habitable unit of the at least one corner stack is a two-stories unit.

8. The multi-storey building according to claim 7 , wherein

an upper storey of the most remote habitable unit of the at least one corner stack is a void.

9. The multi-storey building according to claim 3 , wherein

a most remote habitable unit of the at least one corner stack is a void.

10. The multi-storey building according to claim 1 , wherein

the first plurality of sky terraces connecting the one intermediate stack to another intermediate stack form a closed loop configuration.

11. The multi-storey building according to claim 2 , wherein

the at least one habitable unit includes at least one side for windows.

12. The multi-storey building according to claim 11 , wherein

one of the sides for windows opens to a sky terrace at a lower storey.

13. The multi-storey building according to claim 2 , wherein

the at least one habitable unit includes a side to access the sky terraces.

14. The multi-storey building according to claim 1 , wherein

the plurality of intermediate stacks, the first and second plurality of sky terrace are arranged in a linear configuration.

15. The multi-storey building according to claim 1 , wherein

the plurality of intermediate stacks, the first and second plurality of sky terraces are arranged in a non-linear configuration.

16. The multi-storey building according to claim 1 , wherein

the first plurality of sky terraces are accessible by staircases or lifts.

17. The multi-storey building according to claim 1 , wherein

the first and the second plurality of sky terraces are alternately disposed at successive stories.

18. The multi-storey building according to claim 1 , wherein

the second plurality of sky terraces are vertically spaced apart from one another by at least two storeys.

19. A multi-storey building comprising:

a plurality of intermediate stacks; and

sky terraces concatenating one intermediate stack of the plurality of intermediate stacks and another intermediate stack of the plurality of intermediate stacks; wherein

at least one sky terrace is a communal or landscaping area accessible from common areas within the multi-storey building,

at least one of the intermediate stacks concatenate a first plurality of sky terraces and a second plurality of sky terraces,

the first plurality of sky terraces are vertically spaced apart from one another by at least two stories, and

the first and second plurality of sky terraces are disposed on different stories;

wherein at least one corner stack adjoins to one of the first and second plurality of sky terraces,

wherein a most remote habitable unit of the at least one corner stack is a two-stories unit, and

wherein an upper storey of the most remote habitable unit of the at least one corner stack is a void.

20. A multi-storey building comprising:

a plurality of intermediate stacks; and

sky terraces concatenating one intermediate stack of the plurality of intermediate stacks and another intermediate stack of the plurality of intermediate stacks; wherein

at least one sky terrace is a communal or landscaping area accessible from common areas within the multi-storey building,

at least one of the intermediate stacks concatenate a first plurality of sky terraces and a second plurality of sky terraces,

the first plurality of sky terraces are vertically spaced apart from one another by at least two stories, and

the first and second plurality of sky terraces are disposed on different stories,

wherein at least one corner stack adjoins to one of the first and second plurality of sky terraces, and

wherein a most remote habitable unit of the at least one corner stack is a void.
