(10) FIG. 10 shows an exemplary rear view of the same eight-story high-rise.

(11) FIG. 1 shows a complex of eight building blocks 16, each with four building units 1. Each block is arranged along an access road 17. Each building block 16 is located on a contiguous plot of land 18 with the fan-shaped division into the individual plots 19 for the individual house units 1. Each building block 16 comprises four house units 1 with associated plot 19. For explanatory purposes only, two double garages 20 each are shown in FIG. 1, although there may also be space for the driveway, parking area and waste containers in the forecourt 21.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

(12) Between the plots of land 18, narrower access paths are provided, allowing access to the plots of land 18 from other sides.

(13) In the center or, depending on the nature of the plot, in another central location, general communication and general facilities 29 will be created. In the case of housing complexes, they may include a children's playground, a barbecue area, a sauna hut, a swimming pool, a swimming pond, and the like. In the case of office complexes or commercial facilities, they may be a general debriefing center, a technical center, and the like. In the case of retirement homes, they may be a doctor's office, a house pharmacy, rooms for care staff, a coffee shop, and the like. In the case of tourist complexes, they may be swimming pools and wellness facilities, etc.

(14) FIG. 2 shows an exemplary embodiment of a building block 16 of the arrangement of building units, consisting of four individual house units 1. Each house unit 1 comprises side walls 2, 3 arranged at an angle to each other, which in the present case each enclose an interior angle of 45. For the four house units 1 shown, this results in a building angle of 180, measured from the outer side wall 6 to the outer side wall 7.

(15) As can be seen in the drawing, each house unit 1 is pie-piece-shaped. The side walls 2, 3 are connected at their two ends by a narrow inner end wall 4 and an outer end wall 5, which is several times wider, which form the building envelope. The inner narrow and largely north-facing end wall 4 includes the house entrance door 8, which opens into the house entrance area 9.

(16) The outer end wall 5, which is several times wider, extends to the respective plot 19 and opens to the terrace 14 via one or more terrace doors 12 and is largely oriented to the east-south-west, i.e. to the sun or light side. The terraces 14 are separated from each other due to the rotation, which is further pronounced by the setoff and a partition wall.

(17) The house block 16 is preferably oriented in such a way that the outer end walls 5 are facing the sun side, i.e. to the east, south and west on the northern hemisphere. The preferred north-south direction is indicated. A key feature is that no house unit 1 is arranged to the north to avoid the disadvantages associated with the north orientation. Exceptions may be made in case of working areas such as offices, doctor's offices, common rooms, etc.

(18) Between the narrow inner end walls 4, a common access area 26 to the individual house units 1 is created, where shared facilities may be provided. The respective outer units may also be accessed via the north-facing side walls.

(19) The improved access for the entire house block 16 can be star-shaped centrally from this area, which brings great advantages.

(20) The invention is not restricted to the arrangement of four building units 1 shown in FIG. 2. The minimum size of an arrangement of building units is two house units 1. However, more than four house units 1 may be provided, and the building angle may be greater or less than 180. Also in the case of such a bigger/smaller arrangement, the individual house units 1 are still facing the sun side and the outer side walls 6 and 7 are oriented to the north. Building units containing side rooms or working areas may also be oriented to the north.

(21) FIGS. 3 and 4 show examples of interior spatial arrangements for the ground floor (FIG. 3) and the upper floor (FIG. 4).

(22) The house entrance door 8 leads to the house entrance area 9 with an open staircase arrangement 10, which leads to the upper floor. From the house entrance area 9, one reaches the toilet 22 and the spacious living area 23 with integrated kitchen. The pieces of furniture are not shown.

(23) From the living area 23, a terrace door 12 leads to the terrace 14 and from there further to the garden area of the plot 19.

(24) The terrace 14 is protected from the neighboring plot or the neighboring terrace due to the rotation and a setoff 13. An oblique upward wall extension 24 of the side wall 3 further enhances this protection.

(25) Again, it should be noted that the described use serves as an example and the buildings according to the invention are by no means limited to residential purposes. Offices, working areas, accommodation premises, doctor's offices, commercial premises and much more are conceivable. The use itself is not the object of the invention, but rather the building formation and the benefits thereby created for the versatile uses.

(26) As can already be seen from this ground plan, this and each house unit 1 is open to the sun side and the associated garden and oriented towards the light. In contrast, the usually cold north side of house unit 1 is oriented only towards the inner end wall 4, which is also advantageous in terms of energy.

(27) On the upper floor according to FIG. 4, the staircase 10 leads to the anteroom 31. From this anteroom, in addition to the wet and sanitary area 11, the toilet 22, the elevator shaft 28 and the storage room 32, one reaches a number of rooms 25, with two rooms 25 leading to a balcony 15, which is located above the terrace 14 below. The balcony 15 is also protected by the wall extension 24 and the setoff 13.

(28) Behind the storage room 32, the utility shaft 30 is located. As long as no elevator is installed, the entire room 28 (elevator) and 32 (storage room) can be used as a closet space. In this case, a door may directly lead from the bedroom 25 to the closet space.

(29) FIG. 5 shows a building block 16 with five house units, with the building angle being greater than 180. In this example, the outer end wall 5 is round and shows that the design of the house units 1 may vary. The interior design may be designed freely.

(30) FIG. 6 serves to provide an illustrative overview of an inventive arrangement of building units, in this case townhouses, each with an upper floor and a roof; this figure speaks for itself.

(31) FIG. 7 shows an example of an alternative room layout for the ground floor, wherein an elevator shaft 28 and a staircase 10 lead to an upper floor, which is not shown here.

(32) FIG. 8 shows an example of the ground plan of an eight-story high-rise. The inventive arrangement of building units may also be multi-story, wherein multiple building units 1 may be arranged next to each other or on top of each other. In the case of multi-story arrangements, an elevator shaft 28 or multiple elevator shafts 28 as well as a staircase construction 10 or multiple staircase constructions 10 may be provided in the access area 26 to provide central access to all floors. Analogous to the other exemplary embodiments, there may be gardens 19 or terraces 14 on the ground floor, and loggias 15 on the upper floors.

(33) FIG. 9 shows an exemplary front view of the same eight-story high-rise in 3D.

(34) FIG. 10 shows an exemplary rear view of the same eight-story high-rise in 3D.

(35) As already mentioned above, the illustrated arrangements of building units 1 to each other as well as the room layouts in the building units 1 are only exemplary. Of course, the interior design must meet the architectural requirements.

(36) In any case, it is advantageous that the circular or stepped arrangements lead to the outer end wall 5 having the greatest width as the light side, so that the habitable rooms have the greatest incidence of light. For example, in a two-story residential building with a living area of only 125 m.sup.2, a width of 9.2 m can be achieved on the outer end wall 5 in the area facing the sun or light.

(37) In the arrangement as townhouse complex, the gardens 18 become wider and seem larger than with a rectangular arrangement. The terraces 14 and balconies 15 are angled away from each other and indented into the building, so they are more sheltered and offer more privacy from the neighbor. The large glass surfaces towards the light side and the termination to the north side result in advantages in terms of energy.
