Abstract:

A housing structure for erecting on a ground surface includes a generally helical ramp having at least two lanes for accommodating vehicular traffic in opposing directions, a loop at the highest level of the ramp connecting the at least two lanes. The ramp includes a plurality of habitable units, each at one of a plurality of radial positions with respect to a center of the ramp. The habitable units that share any particular radial position but that are vertically offset are each generally vertically co-aligned in a common multi-level building. In one embodiment, at least one habitable unit includes more than one floor or story. Each habitable unit preferably comprises at least a private garage connected to the ramp with a driveway, and a private living space that may include a rear balcony connected to a front porch by a breezeway.
