Benefits of technology

[0002]The object of the invention is to provide the market and the public in general with the possibility of acquiring an underground dwelling that is assembled modularly or prefabricated and that is mostly covered by the earth of the site where it has been installed, as if it was a natural cave.

Problems solved by technology

However, there are natural caves that have been inhabited as dwellings, although they are very limited in many functional aspects, since they have been made by simply excavating the terrain and are therefore not susceptible to the process of industrialization.

Embodiment Construction

[0006]The underground dwelling object of the invention can be considered as a cave dwelling, but obtained by assembling three dimensional modules that may be part or the whole of the dwelling, endowing it with its eminently industrializable nature.

[0007]In this sense, a terrain having certain degree of elevation is excavated creating a cavity or hollow, and on this cavity the three dimensional module, preferably cast in concrete, is placed. Said module having, at least, an opening that will serve as access to the inside, and this prefabricated module may also have openings for windows and holes as chimney flues, air vents, light wells, etc., all of it assuming the module will constitute in itself the entire dwelling, since the dwelling can be configured by several joined or assembled modules that will be preferably configured by complementary tongue and groove elements built in the design of the attachable walls, since the modules can be assembled laterally to each other, or even st...

Abstract

The invention relates to a dwelling formed by one or more preferably concrete three-dimensional modules (1 and 1′) which are provided with complementary coupling means (7 and 7′) so that the modules can be positioned side by side and / or on top of one another in order to form a dwelling with several rooms or even several dwellings. The invention includes an access (2) to the interior, windows (9) and ports for pipes (3) for chimneys (4), vents and lighting outlets (5). The constituent modules (1 and 1′) of the dwelling(s) are installed in a trench or cave formed in suitable terrain (6) and, except for the access wall containing the door (8) and / or the windows (9), are covered completely with natural soil corresponding to the terrain (6) excavated in order to install the modules (1 and 1′) and the dwelling(s).

Description

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention refers to an underground dwelling that has been specially conceived to have the characteristics of a natural cave, but having the advantage of being of a modular nature and therefore being susceptible to industrialization, something that had not been possible up to now.[0002]The object of the invention is to provide the market and the public in general with the possibility of acquiring an underground dwelling that is assembled modularly or prefabricated and that is mostly covered by the earth of the site where it has been installed, as if it was a natural cave.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Artificial caves, such as the one described in the Spanish Utility Model No 248,970, based on a metal framework or an otherwise rigid framework having the appropriate shape, on which it is applied a layer of the material obtained by mixing a fibrous material (paper, cloth, fabric, asbestos or wild cotton) with a setting or thermosetting product...
