Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This invention relates to a structure that can effectively utilize the space in a home. [Background technology]
[0002] In recent years, due to limited residential space in urban areas, multifunctionality of living spaces is required. In particular, it is important to secure private space necessary for work and hobbies within the home. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0003] Conventional storage spaces are simply used to store items and lack the functionality to support individual activities. This has led to a growing need for new structures that combine storage and workspace.
[0004] An object of the present invention is to provide a structure that makes it possible to secure storage functionality and work space in a limited living space. [Means for solving the problem]
[0005] The present invention is a structure comprising a plurality of walls, at least a portion of which is fixed to the floor of a room, forming an enclosed space, a door formed on the wall for people to enter and exit the enclosed space, a storage shelf installed in the enclosed space, and a desk installed in the enclosed space, wherein the enclosed space has space for a chair to be placed for a person sitting at the desk.
[0006] Preferably, the space is located directly in front of the door when it is opened.
[0007] Preferably, the first storage shelf and the second storage shelf are located on both sides of the space, respectively.
[0008] Preferably, the third storage shelf is provided above the desk. [Effects of the Invention]
[0009] According to the present invention, a structure can be provided that allows for storage functions and work space to be secured in a limited living space. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0011] Hereinafter, a structure according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 is a floor plan of a house to which a structural body according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied. FIG. 2 is an enlarged plan view of the structure according to the embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. The structure 11 is normally used as a storage space, and is used as a private room when family members need space for work or playing musical instruments.
[0012] As shown in FIG. 1, in a house 1 of this embodiment, a structural body 11 is disposed between a kitchen 21 and the vicinity of a living room 23. As shown in FIG. 1, the structure 11 includes a substantially rectangular closed space 15 surrounded by four walls fixed to the floor of a room, for example. The bottom of the wall is fixed to the floor, and the flat surface is fixed to the ceiling. The shape and size of the closed space 15 are not particularly limited.
[0013] Fig. 3 is an external view of the structure 11 as seen from the direction of arrow C shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along the cross-sectional line BB shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along the cross-sectional line AA shown in Fig. 1. A door 43 is provided on the front wall of the structure 11 to allow people to enter and exit the closed space 15. The door 43 may be a swing door, a sliding door, a folding door, or the like, and is not particularly limited in type.
[0014] When the door 43 is opened, a space 41 where chairs can be placed is located directly in front of the door. Desk 45 is located at the back of space 41. A first storage shelf 33 and a second storage shelf 35 are located on both sides of the closed space 15 entering through the door 43. A third storage shelf 37 is provided above the desk 45 .
[0015] FIG. 6 is a rear view of the structure 11 as seen from the living room 23 side. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 6, the structure 11 is provided with storage shelves 51 and 52 that allow items to be put in and taken out from the living room 23 side.
[0016] The manner in which the structure 11 is used will be described below. <When not used as a private room> When the structure 11 is not used as a private room, the entire closed space 15 is used as storage space. For example, items can be stored above or below the desk 45. The height of the desk 45 is adjustable. Space 41 can also be used to store items.
[0017] <When using as a private room> A case where the structure 11 is used as a private room will be described. FIG. 7 is a side view of the structure 11 when used as a private room for desk work, and FIG. 8 is a rear view thereof. When an object is stored in the space 41 or the desk 45 in the closed space 15, the object is moved to the first storage shelf 33, the second storage shelf 35, the third storage shelf 37, etc., and the desk 45 becomes usable. Also, the chair 47 is moved in front of the desk 45 so that the user 151 can sit on the chair 47 and work at the desk 45 . This allows the user 151 to sit on the chair 47 and work at the desk 45 . As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, sound absorbing material 125 is embedded in the walls that form the closed space 15.
[0018] As explained above, the closed space 15 in the house 1 can be used as either a private room or a storage space. That is, the structure 11 can be used as a storage space during normal times and as a private room when necessary. This flexibility allows for maximum use of limited space.
[0019] By making the closed space 15 an airtight space, the structure 11 provides a private space for family members to carry out their individual activities when used as a private room. This is particularly effective when you want to concentrate on work or hobbies.
[0020] The structure 11 can be installed even in a small space within the house 11, and functions can be added without significantly changing the layout of the room.
[0021] The structure 11 is provided with the first, second and third storage shelves, making it easy to keep things in order, thereby keeping the living space neat and tidy.
[0022] According to the structure 11, even when a new structure is constructed, it does not require major construction work and can be easily installed, making it easy to apply when renovating or remodeling a house.
[0023] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments. That is, those skilled in the art may make various modifications, combinations, subcombinations, and substitutions of the components of the above-described embodiments within the technical scope of the present invention or its equivalents.
[0024] For example, sound absorbing materials may be provided on the inner walls of the closed space 15 to improve acoustic performance. Furthermore, a power outlet or the like may be provided within the closed space 15 .
[0025] The enclosed space 15 may be equipped with a function for adjusting the temperature and lighting inside. Furthermore, an outlet for a power source or the like may be provided within the closed space 15 . [Industrial Applicability]
[0026] It is applicable to structures installed inside a house. [Explanation of symbols]
