BUILDING STRUCTURE OVER A SWIMMING POOL OR MAN-MADE LAGOON/BODY OF WATER

Abstract

The purpose of this invention is to provide a building structure over a swimming pool, man-made lagoon, or any other man-made body of water to produce the tropical, exotic resort experience of being surrounded by water in a building. This invention is new because of the use of the invention over a pool or man-made lagoon/body of water, instead of an ocean, lake, or other natural body of water.

Claims

1. A building structure with a floor, roof, and wall(s) elevated over a swimming pool or man-made lagoon/body of water.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising of stilts, columns, poles, posts, pillars or other vertical support to elevate the building structure a distance above the ground. The stilts, piles, etc. can be made of any strong material, such as concrete, wood, steel, etc.

3. The method of claim 2, further comprising of reinforced strong material to transfer the load of a building structure deep into the ground.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION

[0012] Description of the Parts of the Invention:

TABLE-US-00002 PART NUMBER PART DESCRIPTION Building (1) A structure with a roof, floor, and walls, such as a house, room, school, store, restaurant, factory, etc. Stilt/Pile (2) The columns, poles, posts or pillars to elevate a structure a distance above the ground. Stilts or piles can be made of any strong material, such as concrete, wood, steel, etc. Stilt/Pile The foundation of a structure that uses stilts or Foundation (3) piles, usually reinforced by concrete or another strong material, to transfer the load of a structure deep into the ground.

[0013] Relationship Between the Parts of the Invention: [0014] The stilts/piles connect to the stilt/pile foundation which bears the weight of the building structure

[0015] Details of the Invention Operation/Functions: [0016] The building structure holds people and objects [0017] The stilt/pile foundation securely holds the weight of structures using stilts or piles [0018] The stilt/pile goes deep into the ground to elevate the stilt/pile foundations that hold the structures, objects and people above the water to keep them dry and safe

[0019] Unique Features of Invention:

[0020] The unique feature of this invention is the use aspect. Buildings are not constructed over man-made bodies of water, such as swimming pools or man-made lagoons. They are built over natural bodies of water, such as oceans and lakes. Building structures over a pool, man-made lagoon, or other man-made body of water enables more people in more locations to access the use of building structures over the water, since natural bodies of water are in limited locations.

[0021] Best Manufacturing Method:

[0022] The most efficient way to produce this invention is to secure any number of stilts/piles deep in the ground using cement or another strong material and a stilt/pile foundation to hold and elevate the weight of the building structure above the water.
