ABSTRACT:
A multiple-dwelling structure comprising upper and lower individual dwelling units in stacked relationship, both upper and lower units being positioned directly above the garage areas for both units. The garage areas for each unit are positioned essentially adjacent one another, but on a graded surface such that the level of the garage area associated with the lower dwelling unit is approximately one-half story below the level of the garage area associated with the upper dwelling unit. Both dwelling units are on a split-level plan. Each dwelling unit is connected to its respective garage area by an individual passageway or stairway that is unique to the respective dwelling unit and independent of the stairway interconnecting the garage area and the living area of the other dwelling unit. Each of the respective unique stairways interconnects the garage area and the lower level of the split-level dwelling unit, the living, kitchen and dining area thereof, in a manner such that the maximum distance between the level of the garage floor and the lower unit is one story, and the maximum distance between the level of the garage floor and the upper unit is one and one-half stories. Each dwelling unit, being provided with a unique stairway connecting the garage areas and living areas, which stairway is independent of the other dwelling unit and the stairway interconnecting the garage area and living area of the other dwelling unit, ensures the utmost physical privacy to the occupants of each unit, while at the same time permitting stacking of dwelling units to increase the density of such dwelling units per unit area of available land.
