Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] By the way, there is a demand for a living room structure that can efficiently utilize the space inside the living room. However, in the floor plan structure of the dwelling unit described in Patent Document 1, the high space efficiency inside the living room is not considered.

[0006] Moreover, the above problem is not limited to plate-shaped apartment houses, but is the same in living rooms in tower-shaped apartment houses, detached houses, buildings such as stores and offices.

[0007] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a living room structure that can efficiently utilize the space inside the living room.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0008] The living room structure of the present invention comprises a structural body having a floor, a ceiling, and a wall portion erected on the floor, forming a room space enclosed by the floor, the ceiling, and the wall portion; a box-shaped storage unit arranged along the wall portion within the room space; and a shelf portion arranged on the wall portion, wherein the storage unit is configured to be positioned such that its lower end is spaced upward from the floor, and the shelf portion is positioned to protrude from the wall portion into the room space in the lower region which is the area between the storage unit and the floor; and the shelf portion is configured to be positioned not to protrude from the wall portion into the room space in the lower region, and the configuration is such that the configuration can be changed between a positioned state and an unpositioned state.

[0009] With this configuration, a lower area is formed below the storage section, and it is possible to switch between an arrangement where the shelves protrude from the wall and an arrangement where they do not protrude within this lower area. For example, the arrangement can be switched to suit the arrangement of furniture in the living room. Therefore, the lower area can be used efficiently.

[0010] Furthermore, the wall portion includes the wall portion to which the storage unit is installed, the storage unit is installed in a portion of the width direction perpendicular to the vertical and thickness directions of the wall portion to which it is installed, the shelf portion comprises a plate-shaped shelf board protruding from the wall portion to which it is installed, and a shelf rail for installing the shelf board on the wall portion to which it is installed, the shelf rail is arranged to extend at least below the installation range in which the storage unit is installed in the width direction, the shelf board is provided so as to be movable relative to the shelf rail, and the configuration can be such that the state of being positioned between the shelf and the state of not being positioned between the shelf and the shelf board can be changed by moving the shelf board relative to the shelf rail.

[0011] With this configuration, the shelves can be moved along the shelf rails to switch between an intermediate-positioned and an intermediate-positioned state, allowing the shelves to be moved as needed and the living space to be used efficiently.

[0012] Furthermore, the shelf portion can be provided on the wall portion so as to be switchable between a protruding state in which it protrudes from the wall portion and a collapsed state in which it lies down relative to the wall portion, and by being able to switch between the protruding state and the collapsed state in the lower region, the configuration can be made such that the arrangement between the two locations and the non-arranged state can be changed.

[0013] With this configuration, the shelf can be switched between a protruding state and a reclined state, allowing for a switch between an inter-spaced configuration and an inter-spaced configuration. This enables easy switching between the inter-spaced and inter-spaced configurations as needed, allowing for efficient use of space within the living area.

[0014] Furthermore, the wall portion includes a wall portion to which the storage portion is installed, and the shelf portion comprises a plate-shaped shelf board protruding from the wall portion to which the storage portion is installed, and a detachable support portion for installing the shelf board on the wall portion to which the storage portion is installed, wherein the detachable support portion is detachable from the wall portion to which the storage portion is installed below the installation range, and is capable of supporting the shelf board when installed on the wall portion to which the storage portion is installed, and the configuration can be such that the state of being positioned between the storage portion and the state of not being positioned between the storage portion can be changed by attaching or detaching the detachable support portion that supports the shelf board to the wall portion to which the storage portion is installed.

[0015] With this configuration, the shelf can be attached to and detached from the support section, allowing the system to switch between an in-placed state and an unplaced state. In the unplaced state, the shelf is removed from the wall. Therefore, interference between the shelf and other furniture placed in the unplaced state can be suppressed, allowing for efficient use of space within the room.

[0016] Furthermore, the storage section comprises a top plate, a bottom plate positioned opposite the top plate at a distance below it, and a pair of side plates extending downward from both ends in the width direction of the top plate when the storage section is viewed from the front, wherein at least one of the pair of side plates has a downward extension that extends below the lower surface of the bottom plate, and the downward extension may be configured such that the lower and front ends are curved.

[0017] According to such a configuration, since the side plate portion includes a downward extension portion and the lower and front end portions of the downward extension portion are curved, it is possible to suppress the formation of corners at the lower end portion of the storage portion. Therefore, for example, when a child is near the storage portion, it is possible to suppress the child from colliding with the corner and getting injured.

[0018] Further, the storage portion may be configured such that at least one of the back surface and both side surfaces abuts against the wall portion.

[0019] According to such a configuration, since the box-shaped storage portion is arranged at the corner portion of the living room, it becomes easier to efficiently utilize the space in the living room.

[0020] Further, the storage portion includes a back plate portion, a storage rail portion provided so as to extend from the back plate portion to the front side, and a hanging support portion arranged on the storage rail portion and capable of hanging and supporting an article, and is configured such that the front side is open, and the hanging support portion is configured to be movable in the front-back direction along the storage rail portion.

[0021] According to such a configuration, since the hanging support portion is movable in the front-back direction, when hanging an article on the hanging support portion or taking out the hanging article, it can be pulled out to the front side for use. Therefore, the storage portion can be used conveniently.

Advantages of the Invention

[0022] According to the present invention, it is possible to obtain a living room structure that can efficiently utilize the space in the living room.

Embodiments for Carrying out the Invention

[0024] The room structure 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 10. For convenience of explanation, the left-right direction and the front-back direction are based on the directions shown in FIG. 1, and the direction penetrating the paper surface of FIG. 1 is described as the up-down direction.

[0025] As shown in FIG. 1, the room structure 1 of the present embodiment is the structure of a single room 11 in a dwelling unit in an apartment house. Note that the room 11 is a room that is continuously used for purposes such as living, working, and entertainment. Further, the room 11 is arranged adjacent to another room R, specifically, it is arranged adjacent to the living room (living room) as the room 11. Note that the dwelling unit having the room structure 1 of the present embodiment is formed such that the left-right dimension is smaller than the front-back dimension. Therefore, the frontage of the dwelling unit is narrow.

[0026] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the living room 11 has a floor 13 (see Figures 4 and 5), a ceiling 14 (see Figures 4 and 5), and wall sections 2 erected on the floor 13, and comprises a structural body 12 that forms a room space C enclosed by the floor 13, ceiling 14, and wall sections 2. The living room 11 also comprises a box-shaped storage section 5 and a shelf section 6 located within the room space C. The structural body 12 defines the top and bottom, left and right, and front and back of the room space C. In this embodiment, the living room 11 can switch between a room connection state J1 in which one large space A is formed as a room space C inside by the structural body 12, and a room division state J2 in which the large space A is partitioned and two or more smaller spaces B are formed as room spaces C.

[0027] As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the floor 13 and ceiling 14 are plate-like structures that extend horizontally perpendicular to the vertical direction, and are approximately parallel to each other. The floor 13 and ceiling 14 also define the lower and upper ends of the room space C.

[0028] The wall section 2 comprises an outer wall section 21 that forms a large space A, and a partition wall section 22 that divides the large space A. The outer wall section 21 is a wall that defines the outer edge of the living room 11 in the horizontal direction, and is a structural wall or partition wall that separates the inside of the living room 11 from the outside of the living room 11 (for example, an adjacent room R or another dwelling unit). The outer wall section 21 also includes a connecting wall 23 that separates the living room 11 from the other room R and is configured to allow people to move between the other room R and the living room 11, and a plurality of fixed walls 24 that separate the inside and outside of the living room 11 so that people cannot move between the inside and outside of the living room 11. The connecting wall 23 and the fixed walls 24 are arranged to form a rectangular shape in plan view. The connecting wall 23 in this embodiment is a sliding door, and its vertical length is shorter than the distance from the ceiling 14 to the floor 13. Furthermore, the fixed wall 24 of this embodiment extends vertically from the floor 13 to the ceiling 14.

[0029] As shown in Figures 2, 3, and 6, the partition wall section 22 is a wall body arranged to extend between opposing outer wall sections 21 in the horizontal direction (left-right direction in this embodiment). The partition wall section 22 can be installed and removed to divide a large space A into multiple small spaces B. Specifically, the partition wall section 22 comprises multiple partition bodies 25, which are plate-shaped and have a vertical length shorter than the distance from the ceiling 14 to the floor 13, and a width length shorter than the distance between opposing outer wall sections 21. In this embodiment, the partition wall section 22 comprises three partition bodies 25, and by arranging the three partition bodies 25 so that their width direction is aligned with the direction in which the outer wall sections 21 face each other, the partition wall section 22 extends between the outer wall sections 21. In addition, the partition bodies 25 have finger rests 26 that can be used to rest fingers. The finger rest portion 26 in this embodiment is a recess formed so as to be concave in the thickness direction of the partition body 25.

[0030] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, the structural body 12 includes a lintel 3 provided on the ceiling 14 and a sill 4 provided on the floor 13. The lintel 3 and the sill 4 are arranged opposite each other in the vertical direction, and the lintel 3 and the sill 4 can hold the wall 2. The lintel 3 and the sill 4 are arranged to extend in the front-to-back direction along the left outer edge of the large space A, and also to extend in the left-to-right direction from the left outer edge to the right outer edge of the large space A. In other words, the lintel 3 and the sill 4 are arranged to extend along the space A, which is a room space C, and the space between other rooms R, or between smaller spaces B, which are room spaces C. In this embodiment, the lintel 3 and the sill 4 support a sliding door as a connecting wall 23 and a partition body 25 as a partition wall 22.

[0031] As shown in Figure 6, the lintel section 3 comprises a rod-shaped lintel body 31 extending linearly along the horizontal direction, and an upper fitting recess 32 recessed upward from the lower surface of the lintel body 31. The lintel body 31 is a rod-shaped structure with a substantially constant cross-sectional shape perpendicular to the extension direction throughout its entire length, and in this embodiment, it is a rectangular prism shape. The upper fitting recess 32 is provided to extend linearly from one end to the other in the extension direction of the lintel body 31, and the upper end of the connecting wall 23 or partition wall can be fitted into it.

[0032] Furthermore, the lintel section 3 is suspended and supported from the ceiling 14. Specifically, the lintel section 3 is supported by rod-shaped support members 15 suspended from the ceiling 14, and in this embodiment, these are suspended from the ceiling 14 by suspension bolts. Multiple rod-shaped support members 15 are arranged spaced apart from the ceiling 14 in the direction of extension of the lintel section 3, and support the lintel section 3 at multiple points in the direction of extension. In addition, the rod-shaped support members 15 are thinner rod-shaped bodies than the lintel body 31, and specifically, the area of ​​the cross-section of the rod-shaped support member 15 perpendicular to the direction of extension is smaller than the area of ​​the cross-section of the lintel body 31 perpendicular to the direction of extension. As a result, the lintel section 3 can be given a floating appearance, as if it were floating in space. The number of rod-shaped support members 15 is determined considering both aesthetics and function. In other words, the fewer the rod-shaped support members 15, the stronger the feeling of the lintel 3 floating can be made, and the more rod-shaped support members 15, the more securely the lintel 3 can be supported.

[0033] Between the lintel 3 and the ceiling 14, except for the area where the rod-shaped support 15 is positioned, a communication space D is formed that connects the room space C on one side of the lintel 3 (for example, a large space A or a small space B) with the space located on the other side (for example, the room space C of an adjacent living room 11). In this embodiment, the communication space D is not provided with any partitions that block light or air, such as glass panels or transoms, and the inside and outside of the room space C are in communication through the communication space D. Therefore, cool air or warm air from a cooling or heating device such as an air conditioner can be passed from one room space C to the other room space C via the communication space D.

[0034] The threshold 4 is a rail provided on the floor 13 and includes a lower fitting recess 41 that is recessed downward from the upper surface of the floor 13. The lower fitting recess 41 is positioned opposite the upper fitting recess 32 in the vertical direction and is provided in approximately the same area as the upper fitting recess 32 in the horizontal direction.

[0035] The wall section 2 can be attached to the lintel section 3 and sill section 4 in a so-called sliding door manner. Specifically, a sliding door serving as a connecting wall 23 or a partition body 25 serving as a partition wall section 22 is fitted into the upper fitting recess 32 and lower fitting recess 41, which are arranged opposite each other in the vertical direction, on the lintel section 3 and sill section 4. The fitted connecting wall 23 or partition wall section 22 is erected from the floor 13 with its upper end supported by the upper fitting recess and its lower end supported by the lower fitting recess 41. In this embodiment, the sliding door serving as the connecting wall 23 is supported by the upper fitting recess 32 and lower fitting recess 41 in a manner that allows it to move along the extending direction of the lintel section 3 and sill section 4, while the partition body 25 serving as the partition wall section 22 is supported by the upper fitting recess 32 and lower fitting recess 41 in a manner that prevents it from moving along the extending direction of the lintel section 3 and sill section 4. Furthermore, the wall portion 2, supported by the lintel portion 3 and the sill portion 4, is movable along the lintel portion 3 and the sill portion 4, or detachable from the lintel portion 3 and the sill portion 4, and is therefore movable relative to the lintel portion 3 and the sill portion 4.

[0036] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 7 and 8, the outer wall portion 21 includes a wall support portion 16 that supports the partition body 25 removed from the lintel portion 3 and the sill portion 4. The wall support portion 16 is provided on the fixed wall 24 and includes a support extension portion 17 that extends from the fixed wall 24 into the room space C, and a support body portion 18 that extends downward from the tip of the support extension portion 17. The wall support portion 16 can engage with the partition body 25 on the surface of the fixed wall 24 to hold the partition body 25, and in this embodiment, the partition body 25 is sandwiched between the surface of the fixed wall 24 and the support body portion 18. In addition, multiple wall support portions 16 are arranged spaced apart in the horizontal direction. In this embodiment, the distance between the wall support portions 16 in the horizontal direction is smaller than the widthwise length of the partition body 25, and one partition body 25 can be supported by multiple wall support portions 16.

[0037] The support extension 17 is a rod-shaped body positioned above the floor 13 at a distance approximately equal to the height of the partition body 25. Furthermore, the support extension 17 is a rod-shaped body with a flat bottom surface. Additionally, the extension length of the support extension 17 from the fixed wall 24 is approximately equal to the thickness of two partition bodies 25.

[0038] The support body portion 18 is a plate-like body provided at the tip of the support extension portion 17, and at least a portion of it is located below the support extension portion 17. Furthermore, the support body portion 18 is a plate-like body provided such that its thickness direction coincides with the extension direction of the support extension portion 17, and it is elastically deformable so as to bend to one side or the other in the thickness direction. In this embodiment, the support body portion 18 is a rubber plate.

[0039] The method for supporting the partition wall section 22 at such a wall support section 16 will now be described. First, two of the partition bodies 25 that make up the partition wall section 22 are placed on the surface of the fixed wall 24, arranged in the width direction so that their thickness direction matches the thickness direction of the partition wall section 22. Next, the other partition body 25 is placed on the surface of the two partition bodies 25 so that it straddles the two partition bodies 25 in the width direction. Then, the support body section 18 is brought into contact with the surface of the other partition body 25, and each partition body 25 is sandwiched between the fixed wall 24 and the support body section 18. Here, since the support body section 18 is elastically deformable so that it bends in the thickness direction, it is easy to position each partition body 25 between the fixed wall 24 and the support body section 18. Also, since the partition bodies 25 can be held in an overlapping state in the thickness direction as described above, the partition bodies 25 can be stored compactly. Furthermore, since the partition body 25 located on the front side overlaps the boundary between the two partition bodies 25 leaning against the fixed wall 24, the overlapping state of the three partition bodies 25 can be reliably maintained.

[0040] As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the storage unit 5 is a box-shaped body, one of which is placed in each small space B, and two are placed in the large space A. In this embodiment, multiple storage units 5 are arranged on a single fixed wall 24, which is the mounting wall 24A. The mounting wall 24A in this embodiment is a fixed wall 24 that is positioned opposite the communication wall 23. The storage unit 5 is positioned so that its front-to-back direction coincides with the left-to-right direction of the living room 11, and its width direction coincides with the front-to-back direction. The storage unit 5 is also capable of accommodating items such as clothing. In this embodiment, the storage unit 5 is positioned at the corner of the room space C, specifically at the end of the mounting wall 24A. In this embodiment, storage units 5 are positioned at both the end and the other end of the mounting wall 24A.

[0041] Furthermore, the vertical length of the storage unit 5 is shorter than the vertical distance from the ceiling 14 to the floor 13. Specifically, the vertical length of the storage unit 5 is between 1 / 2 and 3 / 4, preferably between 1 / 2 and 3 / 2, of the vertical distance from the ceiling 14 to the floor 13. Also, the widthwise length of the storage unit 5 is shorter than the widthwise length (in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction and the vertical direction) of the wall unit 24A to which it is installed. In this embodiment, the widthwise length of the storage unit 5 is shorter than the distance from the end of the wall unit 24A to which it is installed to the partition 25. Specifically, the widthwise length of the storage unit 5 is between 1 / 3 and 2 / 3 of the distance from the end of the wall unit 24A to the partition 25.

[0042] As shown in Figures 9 and 10, the storage section 5 comprises a plate-shaped back plate portion 51 that abuts against the surface of the fixed wall 24 and constitutes the back of the storage section 5, a top plate portion 52 extending outwards from the upper edge of the back plate portion 51, a bottom plate portion 53 extending outwards from the lower edge of the back plate portion 51, a pair of side plate portions 54 extending outwards from the side edges of the back plate portion 51, and a door portion 55 that is positioned opposite the back plate portion 51 in the front-back direction and constitutes the surface of the storage section 5. The storage section 5 also includes a storage partition portion 56 that divides the internal space. The storage partition portion 56 comprises a plurality of vertical partition portions 561 extending in the vertical direction, and horizontal partition portions 562 extending horizontally between adjacent vertical partition portions 561. The horizontal partition 562 includes a movable partition 563 that is detachable from the vertical partition 561 and whose position in the vertical direction can be changed, and a fixed partition 564 that is fixed to the vertical partition 561 in an immovable manner.

[0043] The back plate portion 51 is a roughly rectangular plate-like body, and is arranged so that its thickness direction coincides with the front-back direction. Furthermore, the back plate portion 51 is a plate-like body with flat front and back surfaces.

[0044] The top plate portion 52 and the bottom plate portion 53 are rectangular plate-like bodies, arranged so that their thickness direction coincides with the vertical direction. The top plate portion 52 and the bottom plate portion 53 are plate-like bodies with flat top and bottom surfaces. The top plate portion 52 and the bottom plate portion 53 are positioned opposite each other vertically, and the front ends of the top plate portion 52 and the front ends of the bottom plate portion 53 are located in approximately the same position in the front-back direction.

[0045] The door section 55 is a roughly rectangular plate-like body, positioned so that its thickness direction coincides with the front-back direction. The door section 55 is also a plate-like body with flat front and back surfaces. The door section 55 is positioned opposite the back panel section 51 on the front side. Furthermore, the door section 55 is connected to the side panel section 54 so as to be openable and closable, allowing the surface of the storage section 5 to be opened by opening the door section 55.

[0046] The pair of side panels 54 are plate-like bodies arranged opposite each other in the width direction, with their thickness direction coinciding with the width direction. Furthermore, the side panels 54 are plate-like bodies with flat ends in the width direction. Each side panel 54 comprises a main side panel portion 541 extending vertically from the top panel portion 52 to the bottom panel portion 53, and a downward extension portion 542 extending downward from the main side panel portion 541. The main side panel portion 541 is a rectangular plate-like body, with its front end positioned approximately the same as the surface of the door portion 55, and its back end positioned approximately the same as the back surface of the back panel portion 51. In this embodiment, the downward extension portion 542 is provided only on the side panel 54 that does not contact the fixed wall 24, as will be described later.

[0047] The downward extension 542 is a plate-like body that extends below the lower surface of the base plate 53. In the front-to-back direction, the front end of the downward extension 542 is located at approximately the same position as the front end of the base plate 53, and the back end is located at approximately the same position as the back surface of the back plate 51. Furthermore, the lower end of the downward extension 542 has a curved shape with a curved front end. Specifically, the lower end of the front end of the downward extension 542 is curved so as to be convex both on the front and downward sides, and the lower end of the front end has a smooth shape without corners.

[0048] The horizontal partition 562 is provided with a suspension support portion 57 that is movable in the front-to-back direction. The suspension support portion 57 is a rod-shaped body that extends in the front-to-back direction and can suspend and support an item (for example, clothing hung on a hanger). In this embodiment, the suspension support portion 57 is provided on the fixed partition 564 and is movable in the front-to-back direction along a storage rail portion (not shown) that extends in the front-to-back direction. Specifically, it is possible to switch between a state in which the suspension support portion 57 protrudes to the front from the opening on the front side of the storage portion 5 and a state in which the entire suspension support portion 57 is housed inside the storage portion 5.

[0049] In the storage unit 5 configured as described above, the top surface of the top plate 52 abuts against the ceiling 14, and the back surface of the back plate 51 and the outer surface of one of the pair of side plates 54 abut against the wall 2. Specifically, the storage unit 5 is arranged so that the back surface of the back plate 51 abuts against the wall 24A to which it is installed, and the outer surface of one of the pair of side plates 54 abuts against the fixed wall 24 connected to the wall 24A to which it is installed. The storage unit 5 is also fixed to the ceiling 14 and the wall 24A to which it is installed with bolts and nuts.

[0050] As shown in Figures 4 and 5, with the storage unit 5 in place, a lower region U is formed between the lower surface of the storage unit 5 and the floor 13. In addition, a lateral region S is formed between the side surface of the storage unit 5 and the partition wall 22 in the width direction (front-to-back direction in this embodiment). The lower region U and the lateral region S are areas on the front side of the wall 24A where the storage unit 5 is not installed.

[0051] As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the shelf unit 6 comprises a shelf board 61 protruding from the wall unit 24A to which it is installed, and a shelf board support unit 62 for installing the shelf board 61 on the wall unit 24A. In this embodiment, two shelf units 6 are arranged in each small space B.

[0052] The shelf board 61 is a plate-like body whose thickness direction coincides with the vertical direction, and on which items can be placed. Furthermore, the shelf board 61 is a rectangular plate-like body in plan view, and is positioned so that its longitudinal direction coincides with the width direction (front-to-back direction) of the wall 24A to which it is installed, and its short direction coincides with the thickness direction (left-to-right direction) of the wall 24A to which it is installed. The length of the shelf board 61 in the longitudinal direction is shorter than the width direction of the storage section 5, and its short direction is shorter than the front-to-back length of the storage section 5. Therefore, the shelf board 61 is sized to fit below the storage section 5.

[0053] The shelf support section 62 can be installed on the wall section 24A and can support the shelf 61 while installed on the wall section 24A. Specifically, the shelf support section 62 includes a shelf rail 63 installed on the wall section 24A and a detachable support section (not shown) installed on the wall section 24A. In this embodiment, of the shelf sections 6 arranged in one small space B, one is equipped with a shelf rail 63 as the shelf support section 62, and the other is equipped with a detachable support section as the shelf support section 62.

[0054] The shelf rail 63 is installed on the wall portion 24A and extends along the surface of the wall portion 24A. The shelf rail 63 is a rail that extends linearly from the lower region U to the lateral region S on the wall portion 24A, and its length in the extension direction is longer than the length in the longitudinal direction of the shelf board 61. Specifically, the shelf rail 63 is a rail recessed from the surface to the back side of the wall portion 24A, and the shelf board 61 can be supported by fitting one end of the shelf board 61 in the short direction onto the shelf rail 63. Furthermore, the shelf board 61 supported by the shelf rail 63 can move along the shelf rail 63 while being supported by the shelf rail 63. In this embodiment, the shelf board 61 can move along the shelf rail 63 from the lower region U to the lateral region S which is outside the lower region U. Furthermore, the shelf board 61 can also be removed from the shelf rail 63. For example, to remove the shelf board 61 from the shelf rail 63, the shelf board 61 can be pulled out from the shelf rail 63 by pulling it outwards, or it can be removed from the shelf rail 63 by moving it beyond the end of the shelf rail 63.

[0055] With a shelf unit 6 having such shelf rails 63, it is possible to switch between an inter-position state J3 in which the shelf board 61 protrudes into the room space C from the wall 24A to which it is installed in the lower region U, and an un-position state J4 in which the shelf board 61 does not protrude into the room space C from the wall 24A to which it is installed in the lower region U, by moving the shelf board 61 relative to the shelf rails 63 and moving it outside the lower region U (for example, the lateral region S) or by removing it from the shelf rails 63. In particular, with the above configuration, the inter-position state J3 and the un-position state J4 can be changed by moving the shelf board 61 along the shelf rails 63, so for example, the inter-position state J3 and the un-position state J4 can be easily changed even when items are placed on the shelf board 61.

[0056] The detachable support portion is detachable from the wall portion 24A to be installed and can support the shelf board 61 when attached to the wall portion 24A. The detachable support portion is, for example, a bracket that is detachable from the wall portion 24A to be installed and can support the shelf board 61 when attached to the wall portion 24A to be installed. Furthermore, the detachable support portion is detachable from at least the wall portion 24A in the lower region U, and in this embodiment, it is detachable from the wall portion 24A in the lower region U and the wall portion 24A in the lateral region S.

[0057] With the shelf 6 having such a detachable support, it is possible to switch between a configuration J3 in which the detachable support is installed on the wall 24A of the lower region U and the shelf 61 protrudes into the room space C from the wall 24A of the lower region U, and a non-configured state J4 in which the detachable support is not installed on the wall 24A of the lower region U and the shelf 61 does not protrude into the room space C from the wall 24A of the lower region U. In particular, with the above configuration, the detachable support can be attached to both the lower region U and the lateral region S, making it easy to install the shelf 6 in the necessary location as needed.

[0058] The living space structure 1 having the above configuration includes a structural body 12 having a floor 13, a ceiling 14, and a wall portion 2 erected on the floor 13, forming a room space C enclosed by the floor 13, the ceiling 14, and the wall portion 2, a box-shaped storage unit 5 arranged along the wall portion 2 within the room space C, and a shelf portion 6 arranged on the wall portion 2, wherein the storage unit 5 is arranged so that its lower end is spaced upward from the floor 13, and the configuration allows for switching between an arranged state J3, in which the shelf portion 6 is arranged to protrude from the wall portion 2 into the room space C in the lower region U, which is the area between the storage unit 5 and the floor 13, and an unarranged state J4, in which the shelf portion 6 is not arranged to protrude from the wall portion 2 into the room space C in the lower region U.

[0059] With this configuration, a lower region U is formed below the storage section 5, and it is possible to switch between an intermediate configuration J3 and an intermediate non-configuration J4 in the lower region U, where the shelf section 6 protrudes from the wall section 2. For example, the intermediate configuration J3 and the intermediate non-configuration J4 can be switched according to the needs of the arrangement of furniture X in the living room 11. Therefore, even if the floor area of ​​the room space C cannot be made large, the lower region U can be used space efficiently within the limited floor area. For example, as shown in Figure 4, furniture X (e.g., a bed) can be placed in the lower region U in the intermediate non-configuration J4.

[0060] Furthermore, the wall portion 2 includes the wall portion 24A on which the storage portion 5 is installed, the storage portion 5 is installed in a portion of the width direction perpendicular to the vertical and thickness directions of the wall portion 24A on which the storage portion 5 is installed, the shelf portion 6 comprises a plate-shaped shelf board 61 protruding from the wall portion 24A on which the storage portion 5 is installed, and a shelf rail 63 for installing the shelf board 61 on the wall portion 24A on which the storage portion 5 is installed, the shelf rail 63 is arranged to extend at least below the installation range on which the storage portion 5 is installed in the width direction, the shelf board 61 is provided so as to be movable relative to the shelf rail 63, and the configuration can be such that the inter-arranged state J3 and the inter-arranged state J4 can be changed by moving the shelf board 61 relative to the shelf rail 63.

[0061] With this configuration, the shelves 61 can be moved along the shelf rails 63 to switch between the partially installed state J3 and the partially installed state J4. This allows the shelves 61 to be moved as needed, enabling efficient use of space within the living room 11.

[0062] Furthermore, the wall portion 2 includes a wall portion 24A on which the storage portion 5 is installed, and the shelf portion 6 comprises a plate-shaped shelf board 61 protruding from the wall portion 24A and a detachable support portion for installing the shelf board 61 on the wall portion 24A, wherein the detachable support portion is detachable from the wall portion 24A below the installation range on which the storage portion 5 is installed, and is capable of supporting the shelf board 61 when installed on the wall portion 24A, and the configuration can be such that the inter-arranged state J3 and the inter-arranged state J4 can be changed by attaching and detaching the detachable support portion that supports the shelf board 61 to the wall portion 24A.

[0063] With this configuration, the shelf board 61 can be attached to and detached from the support section to switch between the partially installed state J3 and the partially uninstalled state J4. In the partially uninstalled state J4, the shelf section 6 is removed from the wall section 2. Therefore, interference between the shelf section 6 and furniture X, etc., placed in the partially uninstalled state J4 can be suppressed, allowing for efficient use of space within the living room 11. Thus, even if a room equipped with the storage section 5 is used as a child's room, there is no need to worry about children getting injured, and it can be used with peace of mind.

[0064] Furthermore, the storage section 5 comprises a top plate portion 52, a bottom plate portion 53 positioned opposite the top plate portion 52 at a downward distance, and a pair of side plate portions 54 extending downward from both ends in the width direction of the top plate portion 52 when the storage section 5 is viewed from the front, wherein at least one of the pair of side plate portions 54 has a downward extension portion 542 that extends below the lower surface of the bottom plate portion 53, and the downward extension portion 542 may be configured to have a curved lower and front end.

[0065] With this configuration, the side plate portion 54 is equipped with a downward extension portion 542, and the lower and front ends of the downward extension portion 542 are curved, so that a corner is not formed at the lower end of the storage portion 5. Therefore, for example, if a child is near the storage portion 5, it is possible to prevent them from colliding with the corner and getting injured.

[0066] Furthermore, the storage section 5 can be configured such that its back and at least one of its side surfaces abut against the wall section 2.

[0067] With this configuration, the box-shaped storage unit 5 is placed in the corner of the living room 11, making it easier to use the space within the living room 11 efficiently.

[0068] Furthermore, the storage section 5 comprises a back plate portion 51, a storage rail portion extending from the back plate portion 51 to the front side, and a suspension support portion 57 positioned on the storage rail portion and capable of suspending and supporting articles, and is configured to have an opening on the front side, and the suspension support portion 57 can be configured to be movable in the front-back direction along the storage rail portion.

[0069] With this configuration, the suspension support part 57 is movable in the front-to-back direction, so when suspending an item from the suspension support part 57 or when removing a suspended item, it can be pulled out to the front side for use. Therefore, the storage section 5 can be used conveniently.

[0070] Furthermore, the structure comprises a main body 12 having a floor 13, a ceiling 14, and a plurality of wall sections 2 erected on the floor 13, forming a room space C surrounded by the floor 13, the ceiling 14, and the plurality of wall sections 2, and a box-shaped storage section 5 arranged along the wall sections 2 within the room space C, wherein the lower end of the storage section 5 is positioned so as to be spaced upward from the floor 13, the main body 12 is positioned so as to be spaced downward from the ceiling 14 and has a lintel section 3 extending in a direction intersecting the vertical direction, the space between the lintel section 3 and the ceiling 14 is open to communicate the inside and outside of the room space C, and at least one of the plurality of wall sections 2 is movable and its upper end is supported by the lintel section 3.

[0071] With this configuration, the storage unit 5 is positioned above the floor 13, making the floor 13 appear wider. Additionally, since the space between the lintel 3 and the ceiling 14 is open within the same room space C, the ceiling 14 also appears wider. Therefore, both the floor 13 and the ceiling 14 appear wider, giving the person in the room 11 a sense of spaciousness.

[0072] Furthermore, the plurality of wall sections 2 may include a connecting wall 23 that allows people to move between other rooms R, and the upper end of the connecting wall 23 may be supported by the lintel section 3.

[0073] With this configuration, since the upper part of the connecting wall 23 is open, it can be made to feel as if it is a continuous space with the other connected room R. Therefore, it can make the person in room 11 feel that the room 11 is spacious.

[0074] Furthermore, the lintel section 3 can also be configured to be suspended and supported from the ceiling 14 by a rod-shaped support 15.

[0075] With this configuration, the lintel section 3 is suspended and supported by a rod-shaped support 15, allowing for a wide open space between the ceiling 14 and the lintel section 3. Therefore, the ceiling 14 can be made to feel more spacious.

[0076] Furthermore, the plurality of wall sections 2 are arranged in a rectangular shape in plan view and include a plurality of outer wall sections 21 that form the entire room space C, and partition wall sections 22 that divide the room space C into at least two or more smaller spaces B. The lintel section 3 is provided so as to extend between two opposing outer wall sections 21, and the partition wall sections 22 can also be configured to be detachable from the lintel section 3.

[0077] With this configuration, even when dividing the room space C into a smaller space B, the upper part of the partition wall 22 is open, making the ceiling 14 appear wider.

[0078] The outer wall portion 21 may also be configured to include a wall support portion 16 for supporting the partition wall portion 22, which has been removed from the lintel portion 3, by engagement on the surface of the outer wall portion 21.

[0079] With this configuration, the partition wall 22 can be supported by the outer wall 21, making it easy to put away the partition wall 22 when it is not in use.

[0080] Furthermore, with the above-described room structure, even in dwelling units with narrow frontages and limited floor area, space can be used efficiently, and the rooms can be made to feel more spacious. For example, when a dwelling unit that was conventionally designed as a 2LDK is redesigned as a 3LDK in the same area to accommodate an increase in the number of residents, it is possible to minimize the feeling of inconvenience or confinement for the residents, thus making it possible to accommodate an increase in the number of residents (e.g., family size) in the same floor area.

[0081] Although an example of an embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0082] For example, although the explanation was given using a living room 11 in an apartment building as an example, the present invention is not limited to such a configuration, and can also be applied to living rooms 11 in detached houses, shops, offices, and other buildings, as well as the space in front of the entrance, etc., as room spaces.

[0083] Furthermore, although the storage compartment 5 was described as a place to store items such as clothes, it may also be a place to store shoes, umbrellas, etc.

[0084] Furthermore, although the example described uses a case where a partition wall 22 is provided and the large space A is divided into two small spaces B by the partition wall 22, the configuration is not limited to this, and a configuration without a partition wall 22 is also possible.

[0085] Furthermore, although we have described a case where the wall section 2 can be attached and detached to the lintel section 3 and sill section 4 using a sliding mechanism, the configuration is not limited to this, and it is possible to configure it to be detachable in other ways.

[0086] Furthermore, although the example of a sliding door in the connecting wall 23 was used, the configuration is not limited to this, and it can also be configured as a wall with a hinged door.

[0087] Furthermore, while shelf rails 63 and detachable support parts have been described as examples of shelf support parts 62, the explanation is not limited to these. For example, the shelf part 6 may be equipped with a hinge as the shelf support part 62, and the shelf 61 may be attached to the wall part 24A via the hinge. In such a configuration, the shelf 61 can rotate relative to the wall part 24A via the hinge, allowing the shelf 61 to switch between a protruding state in which it protrudes into the room space C from the wall part 24A and a reclined state in which it lies down relative to the wall part 24A. By switching between the protruding state and the reclined state, it is possible to change between the intermediate placement state J3 and the intermediate non-placement state J4.
