Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to building structures. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, various techniques relating to the furniture and layout of a building have been proposed.

[0003] For example, a system furniture that partitions a living space by combining multiple types of furniture to define closed rooms and enables entrances to the rooms to be formed at desired positions, and a space-variable house that uses the system furniture to define multiple rooms at desired positions have been proposed (see Patent Document 1).In addition, in order to realize the incidence of sunlight in every place in an indoor space, a building has been proposed that includes rectangular floor slabs arranged at a predetermined interval in the vertical direction, four walls that connect the four sides of these floor slabs, rectangular recessed corners in plan view formed between adjacent walls, and openings provided in each recessed corner (see Patent Document 2). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 6060108 [Patent Document 2] Patent No. 6182338 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] In recent years, various techniques (methods) have been proposed to effectively utilize the space in office buildings in response to the diversification of work styles. For example, a method (first method) has been proposed in which the floor of a given space is divided into grids (unit spaces) of optimal size, different equipment is placed on each grid, and the grids and equipment are replaced as needed (for example, on a yearly basis). Another method (second method) has been proposed in which movable walls and movable interiors are introduced to divide a given space in different ways, and the movable walls and movable interiors are moved as needed (for example, on an hourly or daily basis).

[0006] However, these first and second methods are based on the premise of creating an office that is primarily for collaborative work, and have the problem of limiting the types of activities that can be done on an individual basis. In addition, in the first method, because teams are divided into grids, the literacy of each team is often different, and in the second method, activities are carried out in teams in spaces divided by movable walls, and results are created by each team, so in either case, there is a problem that it is difficult to create results that are consistent across the entire organization.

[0007] Recently, a method (third method) has been proposed in which multiple single-task spaces (a space for one person, a space for two people, a space for meetings with many people, etc.) are installed within a given space to maximize individual productivity, and individuals move between these spaces as necessary to perform their work. However, this method creates new problems, such as the time and expense required to remodel the office, because it requires creating spaces that are primarily for individual activities and the associated equipment.

[0008] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and aims to provide a building structure that can effectively contribute to both maximizing individual productivity and creating unified results across the entire organization, while eliminating the need for effort and expense in remodeling the office. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] In order to achieve the above object, the building structure according to the present invention includes a floor and a wall, and a predetermined spatial area is formed by the wall, and the floor in the spatial area has a first area arranged adjacent to the wall, and a second area separated from the wall by the first area and arranged adjacent to the first area, the first area being an area in which fixing of office furniture is permitted, and the second area being an area in which fixing of office furniture is prohibited. Here, the wall can be arranged in a substantially rectangular shape having four sides in a plan view, and the first area can be arranged adjacent to at least two sides of the wall.

[0010] When such a configuration is adopted, users can perform individual work using office furniture (e.g., fixed counter desks, displays, shelves, etc.) fixed in a first area on the floor within the predetermined spatial area, while moving to a second area on the floor within the predetermined spatial area as needed to perform collaborative work. In this case, since the second area is arranged adjacent to the first area, users can freely access the second area from the first area. In addition, since the second area is an area where fixing office furniture is prohibited, it is possible to promote access for users, and it is possible to carry out collaborative work by bringing in movable office furniture (e.g., movable desks, movable chairs, etc.) as necessary. As a result, it becomes extremely easy to switch from individual work to collaborative work (or from collaborative work to individual work), which can effectively contribute to both maximizing individual productivity and creating unified results throughout the organization. Furthermore, the second area functions as a free space with no fixed office furniture, which has the advantage of eliminating the hassle and expense of removing fixed office furniture.

[0011] In the building structure according to the invention, the second area may include a third area in which only mobile office furniture is permitted to be permanently located.

[0012] By adopting such a configuration, it becomes possible to effectively utilize the second area. That is, the larger the total area of ​​the second area, the more likely it is that an unused area will be formed within the second area. However, by providing an area (third area) in the second area in which only mobile office furniture is always allowed to be placed, the unused area can be effectively utilized. Specifically, the third area is used as a place to stock mobile office furniture, and the mobile office furniture can be freely moved from the third area to other areas as needed. On the other hand, when a large event is held, the mobile office furniture placed in the third area can be moved to the first area, and the entire second area can be used in an open manner.

[0013] In the building structure according to the present invention, a step can be provided at the boundary separating the first area and the second area.

[0014] When such a configuration is adopted, a step is provided at the boundary separating the first area and the second area, so that individual work and collaborative work can be efficiently separated.

[0015] In the building structure according to the present invention, the second area can be arranged at a lower position than the first area.

[0016] By adopting such a configuration, since the second area is positioned lower than the first area, movement from the first area to the second area is facilitated and such movement is promoted, making it possible to transition from individual work to collaborative work extremely smoothly.

[0017] In the building structure according to the invention the colour of the first area can be different from the colour of the second area.

[0018] When such a configuration is adopted, the first region and the second region are different in color, making it easy to visually distinguish between the two.

[0019] In the building structure according to the present invention, markers can be provided in the second area to indicate the location of the mobile office furniture.

[0020] With this configuration, portable office furniture brought into the second area can be quickly set up using the markers. Effect of the Invention

[0021] The present invention can effectively contribute to both maximizing individual productivity and creating unified results across the entire organization, while also making it possible to provide a building structure that does not require effort or expense in remodeling the office.

[0023] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the following embodiments are merely preferred application examples, and the scope of application of the present invention is not limited to these.

[0024] First Embodiment First, a building structure 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 4. The building structure 1 according to this embodiment is provided inside an office building (structure) where office workers (users) mainly work, and can effectively contribute to both maximizing the productivity of individual office workers and creating unified results across the entire organization, while requiring no effort or expense in remodeling the office. Note that a "building" refers to a structure that is fixed to the land, and a "building structure" refers to a physical structure (object) provided within this "building."

[0025] 1 and 2, the building structure 1 according to this embodiment includes a floor section 10 and a wall section 20, and a predetermined spatial area A is formed that is separated from an outside space by the wall section 20. In this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 1 and 2, a square floor section 10 having four sides in a plan view is used, and the wall sections 20 are provided so as to extend along the four sides.

[0026] The length of one side of the floor section 10 can be set appropriately according to the scale and layout of the office building. In this embodiment, the floor section 10 is square-shaped with one side of about 8000 mm so that a maximum of five mobile desks 50 (described later) can be arranged on one side as shown in FIG. 1. The wall section 20 connects the floor section 10 to a ceiling section (not shown) and functions to separate the spatial area A in the building structure 1 from the outside space. In this embodiment, the wall section 20 extending along one side of the floor section 10 (the side on the upper side of the paper in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2) is provided with an entrance / exit 21 that allows users to enter and exit. The thickness and height of the wall section 20 can be set appropriately according to the scale of the office building, etc.

[0027] 1 and 2, the floor 10 in the spatial area A of the building structure 1 has a first area 11 disposed adjacent to the wall 20, and a second area 12 separated from the wall 20 by the first area 11 and disposed adjacent to the first area 11. The first area 11 is an area in which the fixing of office furniture is permitted, and the second area 12 is an area in which the fixing of office furniture is prohibited.

[0028] 1 and 2, in this embodiment, the first region 11 is disposed in a ring shape (i.e., adjacent to all four sides of the wall portion 20) within the spatial region A in a plan view, while the second region 12 is disposed in the center of the spatial region A in a plan view. The first region 11 is a region surrounded by an outer periphery that is generally square in plan view and adjacent to the wall portion 20, and an inner periphery that is generally square in plan view and in contact with the outer periphery of the second region 12. The second region 12 is a region that is generally square in plan view, and its outer periphery is in contact with the inner periphery of the first region 11.

[0029] In the first area 11 in this embodiment, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a fixed counter desk 30 extending along the four sides of the wall 20 and movable chairs 40 for up to 13 people are installed. As shown in Fig. 1, the office workers can perform individual work using the fixed counter desk 30 and the movable chair 40. In addition to the fixed counter desk 30, the first area 11 is also provided with movable desks 50 for up to 10 people. As shown in Fig. 2, the office workers can move some of the movable chairs 40 (for example, for four people) and some of the movable desks 50 (for example, for four people) to the second area 12, and use these movable chairs 40 and movable desks 50 to perform collaborative work in the second area 12. It is preferable to adopt movable chairs 40 and movable desks 50 that are structured so that they can be stacked horizontally or vertically for storage (for example, movable chairs 40 with foldable or liftable seats, and movable desks 50 with liftable tops) and stock these in the first area 11, since this allows for an increase or decrease in the number of office workers to be accommodated.

[0030] In this embodiment, a group of partition walls 60 is provided to isolate a portion of the first area 11 (an L-shaped area in plan view at the upper right of the pages of Figs. 1 and 2) from the other portion of the first area 11 and the second area 12. By providing such a group of partition walls 60, the portion of the first area 11 can function as if it were a small room, and the productivity of the office workers who perform individual work therein can be improved. Although not shown, a fixed display arranged facing the second area 12 can be provided on the inner wall surface (the inner surface of the wall portion 20) of the first area 11, so that the office workers who perform collaborative work in the second area 12 can work while looking at the fixed display in the first area 11.

[0031] In this embodiment, one multifunction device 70 is set near the entrance 21 of the first area 11. The multifunction device 70 is not fixed to the first area 11 (floor 10) or the wall 20 using screws or the like, but is simply installed (placed) in the first area 11. However, it is not assumed that the multifunction device 70 will be moved to the second area 12, and it is assumed that the multifunction device 70 will be left in the first area 11 for a long period of time. The installation of such stationary office furniture is permitted in the first area 11, but not in the second area 12. That is, "fixing office furniture" in the present invention includes not only fixing the office furniture to the floor 10 or the wall 20 using screws or the like, but also placing stationary office furniture that is not intended to be moved on the floor 10.

[0032] As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a mobile display 140 that can move between the first area 11 and the second area 12 is disposed in the second area 12 (the second area 12 is an area where "fixing" office furniture is prohibited, and such a mobile display 140 or a mobile whiteboard 90 described later may be disposed therein). In addition, a projector 150 (see Fig. 11, etc.) described later may be disposed on the ceiling corresponding to the second area 12, and a lift-up screen 160 (see Fig. 11, etc.) described later may be disposed on the ceiling near the boundary between the first area 11 and the second area 12. Instead of the lift-up screen 160, a mobile screen that moves on the floor may be disposed near the boundary between the first area 11 and the second area 12.

[0033] A step can be provided at the boundary separating the first area 11 and the second area 12. In this way, individual work and collaborative work can be efficiently separated. In this case, the second area 12 can be arranged at a lower position than the first area 11. In this way, movement from the first area 11 to the second area 12 is facilitated and the movement is promoted, so that the transition from individual work to collaborative work can be performed very smoothly. The second area 12 can also be arranged at a higher position than the first area 11. In this way, movement from the second area 12 to the first area 11 is facilitated and the movement is promoted, so that the transition from collaborative work to individual work can be performed very smoothly. Furthermore, a slope (inclined portion) may be provided at the boundary between the first area 11 and the second area 12 (or from the second area 12 to the first area 11) to facilitate the movement of office furniture.

[0034] Also, a boundary line showing the boundary separating the first area 11 and the second area 12 can be drawn on the floor surface, the color of the first area 11 can be made different from the color of the second area 12, or a sign showing the second area 12 can be projected on the floor surface using a projection means (for example, the projector already described). In this way, it becomes easy to visually distinguish the first area 11 from the second area 12. Furthermore, a marker showing the installation location of the mobile office furniture (for example, the mobile chair 40 and the mobile desk 50 described above) can be provided in the second area 12. Also, instead of providing a marker (or in addition to providing a marker), a sign encouraging the optimal installation location of the office furniture may be projected on the second area 12 using a projection means. In this way, the mobile office furniture brought into the second area 12 can be quickly installed using the marker or the projected sign.

[0035] In the building structure 1 according to the embodiment described above, the office workers (users) can perform individual work using the office furniture (for example, a display or a shelf in addition to the fixed counter desk 30 described above) fixed in the first area 11 of the floor part 10 in the predetermined spatial area A, while they can move to the second area 12 of the floor part 10 in the predetermined spatial area A as needed to perform collaborative work. At this time, since the second area 12 is arranged adjacent to the first area 11, the office workers can freely access it from the first area 11. In addition, since the second area 12 is an area where fixing of office furniture is prohibited, it is possible to promote the access of the office workers, and it is possible to carry out collaborative work by bringing in movable office furniture (for example, the movable chair 40 and the movable desk 50 described above) as necessary. As a result, it becomes extremely easy to switch from individual work to collaborative work (or switch from collaborative work to individual work), which can effectively contribute to both maximizing individual productivity and creating unified results throughout the organization. Furthermore, the second area 12 functions as a free space with no fixed office furniture, which has the advantage of eliminating the hassle and expense of removing fixed office furniture.

[0036] Incidentally, the effect of the present invention is difficult to obtain simply by constructing a flexible space using easily movable furniture. The reason is that, for example, if a member other than the member who wants to work collaboratively uses fixed (placed) office furniture in the second area 12, the other member must be asked to leave, and depending on the type of office furniture, it may be difficult to leave quickly. In this respect, in this embodiment, by "intentionally" providing an area (second area 12) where fixed (placed) office furniture is prohibited, the degree of freedom in how the second area 12 is used is increased, and work can be switched very easily and quickly. It is desirable to prevent at least desks and chairs from being present in the second area 12 while collaborative work is not being performed, from the viewpoint of increasing the fluidity of the second area 12.

[0037] In this embodiment, an example in which the partition group 60 is provided only in a part of the first area 11 (the area in the upper right corner of the paper in Figs. 1 and 2 that is L-shaped in plan view) has been shown, but for example, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the partition group 60 can be provided in each of the four corners of the first area 11. In this way, each of the four corner areas of the first area 11 can function as a small room. Also, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the multifunction machine 70 may be installed in a position far from the entrance / exit 21 of the first area 11, and instead, a fixed counter desk 30 may be installed near the entrance / exit 21 so that the office workers can perform individual work.

[0038] Second Embodiment Next, a building structure 2 according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 5 to 8. The building structure 2 according to this embodiment is obtained by modifying the configuration of the floor section 10 (first area 11 and second area 12) in the building structure 1 according to the first embodiment, and other configurations are substantially the same as those of the first embodiment. Therefore, the following description will focus on configurations that differ from the first embodiment, and common configurations will be denoted by the same reference numerals as those of the first embodiment and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0039] The building structure 2 according to this embodiment is also provided inside an office building where office workers mainly work, and can effectively contribute to both maximizing the productivity of individual office workers and creating unified results across the entire organization, without requiring any effort or cost to remodel the office. As shown in Figs. 5 and 6, the building structure 2 includes a floor 10B and a wall 20B, and a predetermined spatial area B separated from the outside space by the wall 20B is formed. In this embodiment, as shown in Figs. 5 and 6, a rectangular floor 10B having four sides in a plan view is used, and the wall 20B is provided to extend along the four sides.

[0040] In this embodiment, the length of the long side of the floor portion 10B is set to about 16000 mm so that a maximum of 10 movable desks 50 (described later) can be placed, as shown in FIG. 5, and the length of the short side of the floor portion 10B is set to about 8000 mm. The wall portion 20B connects the floor portion 10B to a ceiling portion (not shown) and functions to separate the spatial area B in the building structure 2 from the outside space. In this embodiment, the wall portion 20B extending along one side of the floor portion 10B (the side on the upper side of the paper in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6) is provided with an entrance / exit 21B that allows users to enter and exit. The thickness and height of the wall portion 20B can be set appropriately according to the size of the office building, etc.

[0041] Now, the floor portion 10B in the spatial region B of the building structure 2 has a first region 11B arranged adjacent to the wall portion 20B, and a second region 12B separated from the wall portion 20B by the first region 11B and arranged adjacent to the first region 11B, as shown in Figures 5 and 6. The first region 11B is an area in which fixing of office furniture is permitted, and the second region 12B is an area in which fixing of office furniture is prohibited.

[0042] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 5 and 6, the first region 11B is arranged in a ring shape (i.e., adjacent to all four sides of the wall portion 20B) in a plan view within the spatial region B, while the second region 12B is arranged in the center of the spatial region B in a plan view. The first region 11B is a region surrounded by an outer periphery having a generally rectangular shape in a plan view and adjacent to the wall portion 20B, and an inner periphery having a generally rectangular shape in a plan view and in contact with the outer periphery of the second region 12B. The second region 12B is a region having a generally rectangular shape in a plan view, and its outer periphery is in contact with the inner periphery of the first region 11B.

[0043] As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the second area 12B in this embodiment is divided into three areas in the left-right direction of the paper (right area 12B_1, center area 12B_2, left area 12B_3). Therefore, when office workers who work in the spatial area B belong to different teams, different areas of the second area 12B may be used for each team (for example, the first team uses the right area 12B_1, the second team uses the center area 12B_2, etc.). In addition, as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, a movable desk chair 80, a movable whiteboard 90, and a movable display 140 are installed in advance in the center area 12B_2 of the second area 12B in this embodiment. The desk chair 80, the whiteboard 90, and the display 140 can be easily moved from the second area 12B to the first area 11B (or outside the spatial area B).

[0044] The area in which mobile office furniture is always placed, such as the central area 12B_2, corresponds to the "third area" in the present invention. By adopting such an area, it becomes possible to effectively utilize the second area 12B. That is, if the second area 12B becomes relatively wide as in the present embodiment, there is a risk that an unused area will be formed in the second area 12B. However, by providing the central area 12B_2 (third area) in the second area 12B, in which only mobile office furniture is always placed, it is possible to effectively utilize the unused area. Specifically, the central area 12B_2 is used as a place to stock mobile office furniture, and the mobile office furniture can be freely moved from the central area 12B_2 to the right area 12B_1 or the left area 12B_3 as necessary. On the other hand, when a large event is held, the mobile office furniture located in the central area 12B_2 can be moved to the first area 11B (or out of the spatial area B), allowing the entire second area 12B to be used in an open manner.

[0045] In the first area 11B in this embodiment, as shown in Figs. 5 and 6, a fixed counter desk 30 extending along the four sides of the wall 20B and movable chairs 40 for up to 24 people are installed. As shown in Fig. 5, the office workers can use the fixed counter desk 30 and the movable chair 40 to perform individual work. In addition to the fixed counter desk 30, the first area 11B is also equipped with movable desks 50 for up to 18 people. As shown in Fig. 6, the office workers can move a part of the movable chairs 40 (for example, for 8 people) and a part of the movable desks 50 (for example, for 8 people) to the right area 12B_1 and the left area 12B_3 of the second area 12B separately, and use the movable chairs 40 and the movable desks 50 to perform collaborative work in the right area 12B_1 and the left area 12B_3. Similarly, in the central area 12B_2, the office workers can of course carry out collaborative work by using movable desk chairs 80 that are installed in advance.

[0046] In this embodiment, a group of partition walls 60 is provided to isolate a portion of the first area 11B (the area at the left and right ends of the paper in Figs. 5 and 6) from the other portion of the first area 11B and the second area 12B. By providing such a group of partition walls 60, the portion of the first area 11B can function as if it were a small room, and the productivity of the office workers who perform individual tasks therein can be improved. Also in this embodiment, one multifunction device 70 is provided near the entrance 21B of the first area 11B.

[0047] In this embodiment, a step or a slope can be provided at the boundary separating the first area 11B and the second area 12B, and the second area 12B can be located at a lower (or higher) position than the first area 11B. A boundary line indicating the boundary separating the first area 11B and the second area 12B can be drawn on the floor, the color of the first area 11B can be made different from the color of the second area 12B, or a sign indicating the second area 12B can be projected on the floor using a projection means. Furthermore, a marker indicating the installation location of a mobile office furniture (for example, the above-mentioned mobile chair 40 and mobile desk 50) can be provided in the second area 12B, or a sign encouraging the optimal installation location of the office furniture can be projected on the second area 12 using a projection means.

[0048] Also, in the second region 12B, a step or a slope may be provided at the boundary separating the central region 12B_2, which corresponds to the "third region," from the other regions (the right region 12B_1 and the left region 12B_3), or the central region 12B_2 may be located at a lower (or higher) position than the other regions (the right region 12B_1 and the left region 12B_3). Furthermore, in the second region B, the color of the central region 12B_2 may be made different from the color of the other regions (the right region 12B_1 and the left region 12B_3), or a sign indicating the central region 12B_2 (the third region) may be projected onto the floor surface using a projection means.

[0049] In the building structure 2 according to the embodiment described above, the office workers (users) can perform individual work using the office furniture (for example, displays and shelves in addition to the fixed counter desk 30 described above) fixed in the first area 11B of the floor part 10B in the predetermined spatial area B, while moving to the second area 12B of the floor part 10B in the predetermined spatial area B as needed to perform collaborative work. At this time, since the second area 12B is arranged adjacent to the first area 11B, the office workers can freely access it from the first area 11B. In addition, since the second area 12B is an area where fixing of office furniture is prohibited, the access of the office workers can be promoted, and it is possible to carry out collaborative work by bringing in mobile office furniture (for example, the mobile chair 40 and the mobile desk 50 described above) as necessary. As a result, it becomes extremely easy to switch from individual work to collaborative work (or from collaborative work to individual work), which can effectively contribute to both maximizing individual productivity and creating unified results across the entire organization. Furthermore, the second area 12B functions as a free space where no office furniture is fixed, which has the advantage of saving the effort and expense of removing fixed office furniture.

[0050] In this embodiment, an example is shown in which the partition wall groups 60 are provided in the left and right end areas of the paper surface in Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 in the first area 11B, but for example, as shown in Fig. 7 and Fig. 8, the partition wall groups 60 can be provided at each of the four corners of the first area 11B. In this way, each of the four corner areas of the first area 11B can function as a small room. Also, as shown in Fig. 7 and Fig. 8, the partition wall groups 60 can be provided near the center of each long side of the first area 11B, and the area surrounded by the partition wall groups 60 can function as a library (warehouse).

[0051] <Third embodiment> Next, a building structure 3 according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 9 and 10. The building structure 3 according to this embodiment is obtained by modifying the configuration of the floor section 10B (first area 11B and second area 12B) in the building structure 2 according to the second embodiment, and other configurations are substantially the same as those of the second embodiment. Therefore, the following description will focus on configurations that differ from the second embodiment, and common configurations will be denoted by the same reference numerals as those of the second embodiment and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0052] The building structure 3 according to this embodiment, like the first and second embodiments, is mainly installed inside an office building where office workers work, and can effectively contribute to both maximizing the productivity of individual office workers and creating unified results throughout the organization, while not requiring any effort or cost for remodeling the office. As shown in Figs. 9 and 10, the building structure 3 includes a floor 10C and a wall 20C, and a predetermined spatial area C separated from the outside space by the wall 20C is formed. In this embodiment, like the second embodiment, a rectangular floor 10C having four sides in a plan view is adopted, and the wall 20C is provided so as to extend along the four sides.

[0053] The lengths of the long and short sides of the floor 10C in this embodiment are set to about 16000 mm and about 8000 mm, respectively, similar to the second embodiment. The wall 20C connects the floor 10C to a ceiling not shown, and functions to separate the spatial area C in the building structure 3 from the outside space. In this embodiment, similar to the second embodiment, the wall 20C extending along one side of the floor 10C (the side on the upper side of the paper in Figs. 9 and 10) is provided with an entrance 21C that allows users to enter and exit. The thickness and height of the wall 20C can be set appropriately according to the size of the office building, etc.

[0054] 9 and 10, the floor 10C in the spatial region C of the building structure 3 has a first region 11C disposed adjacent to the wall 20C, and a second region 12C separated from the wall 20C by the first region 11C and disposed adjacent to the first region 11C. The first region 11C is an area in which fixing of office furniture is permitted, and the second region 12C is an area in which fixing of office furniture is prohibited.

[0055] In this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 9 and Fig. 10, the first area 11C is arranged with a predetermined width along the long side of the floor 10C (adjacent only to the long side of the four sides of the wall 20C), while the second area 12C is arranged to be sandwiched between two first areas C. That is, the first area 11C is an area that is arranged at the top and bottom ends of the paper in Fig. 9 and Fig. 10 and has a generally rectangular shape in plan view extending long in the left-right direction of the paper. The second area 12C is an area that is arranged in the center of the paper in the up-down direction of the paper in Fig. 9 and Fig. 10 and has a generally rectangular shape in plan view extending long in the left-right direction of the paper, and does not include a small room 12C_4 described later.

[0056] As shown in Figs. 9 and 10, the second area 12C in this embodiment is divided into three areas in the left-right direction of the paper (right area 12C_1, central area 12C_2, and left area 12C_3). Therefore, when office workers who work in the spatial area C belong to different teams, different areas of the second area 12C may be used for each team (for example, the first team uses the right area 12C_1, and the second team uses the central area 12C_2, etc.). As shown in Figs. 9 and 10, a movable simple desk 100 and a movable simple chair 110 are installed in advance in the central area 12C_2 of the second area 12C in this embodiment. These simple desks 100 and simple chairs 110 can be easily moved from the second area 12C to the first area 11C (or out of the spatial area C).

[0057] The area in which mobile office furniture is always placed, such as the central area 12C_2, corresponds to the "third area" in the present invention. By adopting such an area, it becomes possible to effectively utilize the second area 12C. That is, if the second area 12C becomes relatively wide as in the present embodiment, there is a risk that an unused area will be formed in the second area 12C. However, by providing the central area 12C_2 (third area) in the second area 12C, in which only mobile office furniture is always placed, it is possible to effectively utilize the unused area. Specifically, the central area 12C_2 is used as a place to stock mobile office furniture, and the mobile office furniture can be freely moved from the central area 12C_2 to the right area 12C_1 or the left area 12C_3 as necessary. On the other hand, when a large event is held, the mobile office furniture located in the central area 12C_2 can be moved to the first area 11C (or out of the spatial area C), allowing the entire second area 12C to be used in an open manner.

[0058] In this embodiment, small rooms 12C_4 surrounded by partition walls 60 are provided between the right area 12C_1 and the central area 12C_2 in the second area 12C, and between the central area 12C_2 and the left area 12C_3 in the second area 12C. Fixed (non-movable) office furniture such as a PC desk 120 is installed in the two small rooms 12C_4. Therefore, the area where the small room 12C_4 is provided does not correspond to the "second area" in the present invention (however, if the office furniture installed in the small room 12C_4 is not fixed (non-movable), the area where the small room 12C_4 is provided corresponds to the "third area" in the present invention and is included in the "second area").

[0059] In the first area 11C in this embodiment, as shown in Figs. 9 and 10, a fixed counter desk 30 extending along the long side of the wall 20C and a movable chair 40 are installed. As shown in Fig. 9, the office workers can use the fixed counter desk 30 and the movable chair 40 to perform individual work. In addition, a movable desk 50 is installed in the first area 11C in addition to the fixed counter desk 30. As shown in Fig. 10, the office workers can move a part of the movable chair 40 (for example, for five people) and a part of the movable desk 50 (for example, for five people) to the right area 12C_1 and the left area 12C_3 of the second area 12C separately, and use the movable chair 40 and the movable desk 50 to perform collaborative work. Of course, the office workers can also use the simple desk 100 and the simple chair 110 installed in advance in the central area 12C_2 to perform collaborative work.

[0060] In this embodiment, a group of partition walls 60 is provided to isolate a portion of the first area 11C (the central area in the left-right direction of the paper in Figs. 9 and 10) from the other portions of the first area 11C and the second area 12C. By providing such a group of partition walls 60, the portion of the first area 11C can function as if it were a small room, and the productivity of the office workers who perform individual tasks therein can be improved. Also in this embodiment, one multifunction device 70 is provided near the entrance 21C of the first area 11C.

[0061] In this embodiment, a step or a slope can be provided at the boundary separating the first area 11C and the second area 12C, and the second area 12C can be located at a lower (or higher) position than the first area 11C. A boundary line indicating the boundary separating the first area 11C and the second area 12C can be drawn on the floor, the color of the first area 11C can be made different from the color of the second area 12C, or a sign indicating the second area 12C can be projected on the floor using a projection means. Furthermore, a marker indicating the installation location of a mobile office furniture (for example, the above-mentioned mobile chair 40 and mobile desk 50) can be provided in the second area 12C, or a sign encouraging the optimal installation location of the office furniture can be projected on the second area 12C using a projection means.

[0062] Furthermore, within the second region 12C, the central region 12C_2, which corresponds to the "third region", may be positioned at a lower (or higher) position than the other regions (right region 12B_1 and left region 12B_3), or the color of the central region 12C_2 may be made different from the color of the other regions (right region 12C_1 and left region 12C_3).

[0063] In the building structure 3 according to the embodiment described above, the office workers (users) can perform individual work using the office furniture (for example, displays and shelves in addition to the fixed counter desk 30 described above) fixed in the first area 11C of the floor 10C in the predetermined spatial area C, while moving to the second area 12C of the floor 10C in the predetermined spatial area C as needed to perform collaborative work. At this time, since the second area 12C is arranged adjacent to the first area 11C, the office workers can freely access it from the first area 11C. In addition, since the second area 12C is an area where fixing of office furniture is prohibited, the access of the office workers can be promoted, and it is possible to carry out collaborative work by bringing in mobile office furniture (for example, the mobile chair 40 and mobile desk 50 described above) as necessary. As a result, it becomes extremely easy to switch from individual work to collaborative work (or from collaborative work to individual work), which can effectively contribute to both maximizing individual productivity and creating unified results across the entire organization. Furthermore, the second area 12C functions as a free space where no office furniture is fixed, which has the advantage of saving the effort and expense of removing fixed office furniture.

[0064] <Fourth embodiment> Next, a building structure 4 according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 11 and 12. The building structure 4 according to this embodiment is obtained by modifying the configurations of the first and second regions in the building structures 1 to 3 according to the first to third embodiments, and other configurations are substantially the same as those of the first to third embodiments. Therefore, the following description will focus on configurations that differ from the first to third embodiments, and common configurations will be denoted by the same reference numerals as those of the first to third embodiments, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0065] The building structure 4 according to this embodiment, like the first to third embodiments, is provided inside an office building where office workers mainly work, and can effectively contribute to both maximizing the productivity of individual office workers and creating unified results throughout the organization, while not requiring any effort or cost to remodel the office. As shown in Figs. 11 and 12, the building structure 4 includes a floor 10D and a wall 20D, and a predetermined spatial area D separated from the outside space by the wall 20D is formed. In this embodiment, as shown in Figs. 11 and 12, a square floor 10D having four sides in a plan view is adopted, and the wall 20D is provided so as to extend along the four sides.

[0066] The length of one side of the floor 10D in this embodiment is set to about 16000 mm, similar to the length of the long sides of the floors 10B and 10C in the second and third embodiments. The wall 20D connects the floor 10D to a ceiling not shown, and functions to separate the spatial region D in the building structure 3 from the outside space. In this embodiment, the wall 20D extending along one side of the floor 10D (the side on the upper side of the paper in Figs. 11 and 12) is provided with an entrance 21D that allows users to enter and exit. The thickness and height of the wall 20D can be set appropriately according to the size of the office building, etc.

[0067] Now, the floor portion 10D in the spatial region D of the building structure 4 has a first region 11D arranged adjacent to the wall portion 20D, and a second region 12D separated from the wall portion 20D by the first region 11D and arranged adjacent to the first region 11D, as shown in Figures 11 and 12. The first region 11D is an area in which fixing of office furniture is permitted, and the second region 12D is an area in which fixing of office furniture is prohibited.

[0068] In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, the first area 11D is arranged along each side of the floor portion 10C, while the second area 12D is arranged so as to be surrounded by the first area D. The second area 12D in this embodiment is divided into five areas (upper right area 12D_1, lower right area 12D_2, central area 12D_3, upper left area 12D_4, lower left area 12D_5) as shown in FIG. 11 and FIG. 12. Therefore, when the office workers who work in the spatial area D belong to different teams, different areas of the second area 12D may be used for each team (for example, the first team uses the upper right area 12D_1, the second team uses the lower right area 12D_2, etc.). In the central area 12D_3 of the second area 12D in this embodiment, a movable desk chair 80, a movable simple desk 100, and a movable simple chair 110 are installed in advance as shown in FIG. 11 and FIG. 12. The desk chair 80, the simple desk 100 and the simple chair 110 can be easily moved from the second area 12D to the first area 11D (or out of the spatial area D).

[0069] The area in which mobile office furniture is always placed, such as the central area 12D_3, corresponds to the "third area" in the present invention. By adopting such an area, it becomes possible to effectively utilize the second area 12D. That is, if the second area 12D becomes relatively wide as in the present embodiment, there is a risk that an unused area will be formed in the second area 12D. However, by providing the central area 12D_3 (third area) in the second area 12D, in which only mobile office furniture is always placed, it is possible to effectively utilize the unused area. Specifically, the central area 12D_3 is used as a place to stock mobile office furniture, and the mobile office furniture can be freely moved from the central area 12D_3 to the upper right area 12D_1, the lower right area 12D_2, the upper left area 12D_4, and the lower left area 12D_5 as necessary. On the other hand, when holding a large event, the mobile office furniture located in the central area 12D_3 can be moved to the first area 11D (or out of the spatial area D), allowing the entire second area 12D to be used in an open manner.

[0070] In the first area 11D in this embodiment, as shown in Figs. 11 and 12, a fixed counter desk 30 extending along each side of the wall portion 20D and a mobile chair 40 are installed. As shown in Fig. 11, an office worker can perform individual work using the fixed counter desk 30 and the mobile chair 40. In addition, a mobile desk 50 is installed in the first area 11D in addition to the fixed counter desk 30. As shown in Fig. 12, an office worker can move a part of the mobile chair 40 and a part of the mobile desk 50 to an upper right area 12D_1, a lower right area 12D_2, an upper left area 12D_4, and a lower left area 12D_5 of the second area 12D separately, and use the mobile chair 40 and the mobile desk 50 to perform collaborative work in each area. Similarly, in the central area 12D_3, the office workers can of course work together using the desk chairs 80, simple desks 100 and simple chairs 110 that are installed in advance.

[0071] 11 and 12, in this embodiment, projectors 150 are provided on the ceiling corresponding to the upper right region 12D_1, the lower right region 12D_2, the central region 12D_3, the upper left region 12D_4, and the lower left region 12D_5 of the second region 12D, and a lift-up screen 160 is provided on the ceiling near the boundary between these regions. By providing the projector 150 and the lift-up screen 160 on the ceiling in this manner, members in each region (upper right region 12D_1, lower right region 12D_2, central region 12D_3, upper left region 12D_4, and lower left region 12D_5) of the second region 12D can work together while sharing the image projected on the screen 160 by the projector 150, without compressing the second region 12D.

[0072] In this embodiment, a partition group 60 is provided to separate a part of the floor portion 10D (the upper left area and the lower center area of ​​the paper in Figs. 11 and 12) from the first area 11D and the second area 12D, and one multifunction device 70 is set near the entrance 21D. Note that, in this embodiment, a step or a slope can be provided at the boundary separating the first area 11D and the second area 12D, and the second area 12D can be placed at a lower (or higher) position than the first area 11D. Also, a boundary line indicating the boundary separating the first area 11D and the second area 12D can be drawn on the floor surface, the color of the first area 11D can be made different from the color of the second area 12D, or a sign indicating the second area 12D can be projected on the floor surface using a projection means. Furthermore, markers indicating the locations where movable office furniture (such as the aforementioned movable chairs 40 and movable desks 50) should be installed can be provided in the second area 12D, and a projection means can be used to project signs onto the second area 12D to encourage users to install the office furniture in the most optimal location.

[0073] Also, in the second area 12D, a step or a slope may be provided at the boundary separating the central area 12D_3 corresponding to the "third area" from the other areas (upper right area 12D_1, lower right area 12D_2, upper left area 12D_4, and lower left area 12D_5), or the central area 12D_3 may be located at a lower (or higher) position than the other areas (upper right area 12D_1, lower right area 12D_2, upper left area 12D_4, and lower left area 12D_5). Furthermore, in the second area D, the color of the central area 12D_3 may be made different from the colors of the other areas (upper right area 12D_1, lower right area 12D_2, upper left area 12D_4, and lower left area 12D_5), or a sign indicating the central area 12D_3 (third area) may be projected onto the floor surface using a projection means.

[0074] In the building structure 4 according to the embodiment described above, the office workers (users) can perform individual work using the office furniture (for example, displays and shelves in addition to the fixed counter desk 30 described above) fixed in the first area 11D of the floor part 10D in the predetermined spatial area D, while moving to the second area 12D of the floor part 10D in the predetermined spatial area D as needed to perform collaborative work. At this time, since the second area 12D is arranged adjacent to the first area 11D, the office workers can freely access it from the first area 11D. In addition, since the second area 12D is an area where fixing of office furniture is prohibited, the access of the office workers can be promoted, and it is possible to carry out collaborative work by bringing in mobile office furniture (for example, the mobile chair 40 and the mobile desk 50 described above) as necessary. As a result, it becomes extremely easy to switch from individual work to collaborative work (or from collaborative work to individual work), which can effectively contribute to both maximizing individual productivity and creating unified results across the entire organization. Furthermore, the second area 12D functions as a free space where no office furniture is fixed, which has the advantage of saving the effort and expense of removing fixed office furniture.

[0075] <Fifth embodiment> Next, a building structure 5 according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 13 and 14. The building structure 5 according to this embodiment is obtained by modifying the configurations of the first and second regions in the building structure 4 according to the fourth embodiment, and other configurations are substantially the same as those of the fourth embodiment. Therefore, the following description will focus on configurations that differ from the fourth embodiment, and the same reference numerals as those of the fourth embodiment will be used to designate common configurations, and detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted.

[0076] The building structure 5 according to this embodiment, like the first to fourth embodiments, is provided inside an office building where office workers mainly work, and can effectively contribute to both maximizing the productivity of individual office workers and creating unified results throughout the organization, while not requiring any effort or cost for remodeling the office. As shown in Figs. 13 and 14, the building structure 5 includes a floor 10E and a wall 20E, and a predetermined spatial area E separated from the outside space by the wall 20E is formed. In this embodiment, as shown in Figs. 13 and 14, a square floor 10E having four sides in a plan view is adopted, and the wall 20E is provided so as to extend along the four sides.

[0077] The length of one side of the floor 10E in this embodiment is set to about 16000 mm, similar to the length of one side of the floor 10D in the fourth embodiment. The wall 20E connects the floor 10E to a ceiling not shown, and functions to separate the spatial area E in the building structure 3 from the outside space. In this embodiment, the wall 20E extending along one side of the floor 10E (the side on the upper side of the paper in Figs. 13 and 14) is provided with an entrance 21E that allows users to enter and exit. The thickness and height of the wall 20E can be set appropriately according to the size of the office building, etc.

[0078] As shown in Fig. 13 and Fig. 14, a plurality of private rooms R are provided along a wall portion 20E within a spatial region E of the building structure 5 according to this embodiment. These private rooms R are surrounded by a group of partition walls 60, and a relatively small spatial region (small spatial region) E' is formed within the spatial region E by a partition wall 61, which is disposed on the innermost side of the spatial region E among the group of partition walls 60. The partition wall 61 separates the space inside the space (the small spatial region E') from the space outside the partition wall 61 (the space outside the partition wall 61 in the spatial region E), and corresponds to the "wall portion" in this embodiment.

[0079] Now, the floor portion 10E in the small space area E' of the building structure 5 has a first area 11E arranged adjacent to the partition wall 61, and a second area 12E separated from the partition wall 61 by the first area 11E and arranged adjacent to the first area 11E. The first area 11E is an area in which fixing of office furniture is permitted, and the second area 12E is an area in which fixing of office furniture is prohibited.

[0080] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 13 and 14, the first region 11E is arranged in a ring shape (i.e., adjacent to all four sides of the partition wall 61) in the small spatial region E' in a plan view, while the second region 12E is arranged in the center of the small spatial region E' in a plan view. The first region 11E is a region surrounded by an outer periphery that is approximately square in plan view and adjacent to the partition wall 61, and an inner periphery that is approximately square in plan view and in contact with the outer periphery of the second region 12E. The second region 12E is a region that is approximately square in plan view, and its outer periphery is in contact with the inner periphery of the first region 11E.

[0081] In this embodiment, the second area 12E is divided into three areas (right area 12E_1, center area 12E_2, and left area 12E_3) as shown in Fig. 13 and Fig. 14. A movable chair 40 and a movable desk 50 are installed in advance in the right area 12E_1 and the left area 12E_3 of the second area 12E. The movable chair 40 and the movable desk 50 can be easily moved from the second area 12E to the first area 11E (or out of the spatial area E).

[0082] The right area 12E_1 and the left area 12E_3, which allow mobile office furniture to be always placed, correspond to the "third area" in the present invention. By adopting such an area, it becomes possible to effectively utilize the second area 12E. That is, if the second area 12E becomes relatively wide as in the present embodiment, there is a risk that an unused area will be formed in the second area 12E. However, by providing the right area 12E_1 and the left area 12E_3 (third area), which allow only mobile office furniture to be always placed, in the second area 12E, it is possible to effectively utilize the unused area. Specifically, the right area 12E_1 and the left area 12E_3 are used as places to stock mobile office furniture, and the mobile office furniture can be freely moved from the right area 12E_1 and the left area 12E_3 to the central area 12E_2 as needed. On the other hand, when holding a large event, the mobile office furniture located in the right area 12E_1 and the left area 12E_3 can be moved to the first area 11E (or out of the spatial area E), allowing the entire second area 12E to be used in an open manner.

[0083] In the first area 11E in this embodiment, as shown in Figs. 13 and 14, a fixed counter desk 30 extending along two sides (two sides above and below the paper surface) of the partition wall 61 and a movable chair 40 are installed. As shown in Fig. 13, an office worker can perform individual work using the fixed counter desk 30 and the movable chair 40. In addition, a movable desk 50 is installed in the first area 11E in addition to the fixed counter desk 30. As shown in Fig. 14, the office worker can move a part of the movable chair 40 and a part of the movable desk 50 to the second area 12E and use the movable chair 40 and the movable desk 50 to perform collaborative work in the second area 12E.

[0084] In this embodiment, as shown in Figs. 13 and 14, a mobile chair 40, a mobile desk 50, and a mobile display 140 are also installed in advance in the second area 12E. These mobile chairs 40, mobile desks 50, and mobile displays 140 can be easily moved from the second area 12E to the first area 11E (or out of the small space area E'). In this embodiment, as shown in Figs. 13 and 14, a projector 150 is provided on the ceiling corresponding to the second area 12E, and a liftable screen 160 is provided on the ceiling near the boundary between the first area 11E and the second area 12E. In this way, the members in the second area 12E can share images projected toward the first area 11E without compressing the first area 11E and the second area 12E.

[0085] In this embodiment, a step or a slope can be provided at the boundary separating the first area 11E and the second area 12E, and the second area 12E can be located at a lower (or higher) position than the first area 11E. A boundary line indicating the boundary separating the first area 11E and the second area 12E can be drawn on the floor, the color of the first area 11E can be made different from the color of the second area 12E, or a sign indicating the second area 12E can be projected on the floor using a projection means. Furthermore, a marker indicating the installation location of a mobile office furniture (for example, the above-mentioned mobile chair 40 and mobile desk 50) can be provided in the second area 12E, or a sign encouraging the optimal installation location of the office furniture can be projected on the second area 12E using a projection means.

[0086] Also, in the second area 12E, a step or a slope may be provided at the boundary separating the right area 12E_1 and the left area 12E_3 corresponding to the "third area" from the central area 12E_2, or the right area 12E_1 and the left area 12E_3 may be located at a lower (or higher) position than the central area 12E_2. Furthermore, in the second area E, the colors of the right area 12E_1 and the left area 12E_3 may be made different from the color of the central area 12E_2, or a sign indicating the right area 12E_1 and the left area 12E_3 (third area) may be projected onto the floor surface using a projection means.

[0087] In the building structure 5 according to the embodiment described above, the office workers (users) can perform individual work using the office furniture (for example, displays and shelves in addition to the fixed counter desk 30 described above) fixed in the first area 11E of the floor part 10E in the small space area E', while moving to the second area 12E of the floor part 10E in the small space area E' as appropriate to perform collaborative work. At this time, since the second area 12E is arranged adjacent to the first area 11E, the office workers can freely access it from the first area 11E. In addition, since the second area 12E is an area where fixing of office furniture is prohibited, the access of the office workers can be promoted, and it is possible to bring in mobile office furniture (for example, the mobile chair 40 and the mobile desk 50 described above) as necessary to perform collaborative work. As a result, it becomes extremely easy to switch from individual work to collaborative work (or from collaborative work to individual work), which can effectively contribute to both maximizing individual productivity and creating unified results across the entire organization. Furthermore, the second area 12E functions as a free space where no office furniture is fixed, which has the advantage of saving the effort and expense of removing fixed office furniture.

[0088] Sixth Embodiment Next, a building structure 6 according to a sixth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 15 to 16. The building structure 6 according to this embodiment is obtained by modifying the configurations of the first and second regions in the building structure 4 according to the fourth embodiment, and other configurations are substantially the same as those of the fourth embodiment. Therefore, the following description will focus on configurations that differ from the fourth embodiment, and the same reference numerals as those of the fourth embodiment will be used to designate common configurations, and detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted.

[0089] The building structure 6 according to this embodiment, like the first to fifth embodiments, is provided inside an office building where office workers mainly work, and can effectively contribute to both maximizing the productivity of individual office workers and creating unified results in the entire organization, while not requiring time and money to remodel the office. As shown in Figs. 15 and 16, the building structure 6 includes a floor 10F and a wall 20F, and a predetermined spatial area F separated from the outside space by the wall 20F is formed. In this embodiment, as shown in Figs. 15 and 16, a square floor 10F having four sides in a plan view is adopted, and the wall 20F is provided so as to extend along the four sides.

[0090] The length of one side of the floor 10F in this embodiment is set to about 16000 mm, similar to the length of one side of the floor 10E in the fifth embodiment. The wall 20F connects the floor 10F to a ceiling not shown, and functions to separate the spatial area F in the building structure 6 from the outside space. In this embodiment, the wall 20F extending along one side of the floor 10F (the side on the upper side of the paper in Figs. 15 and 16) is provided with an entrance 21F that allows users to enter and exit. The thickness and height of the wall 20F can be set appropriately according to the size of the office building, etc.

[0091] Now, the floor 10F in the spatial region F of the building structure 6 has a first region 11F arranged adjacent to the wall 20F, and a second region 12F separated from the wall 20F by the first region 11F and arranged adjacent to the first region 11F, as shown in Figures 15 and 16. The first region 11F is an area in which fixing of office furniture is permitted, and the second region 12F is an area in which fixing of office furniture is prohibited.

[0092] In this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 15 and Fig. 16, the first region 11F is disposed along each side of the floor portion 10F, while the second region 12F is disposed so as to be surrounded by the first region F. That is, the first region 11F is composed of a relatively narrow region (narrow region) 11F_1 disposed near the left and right ends of the top and bottom sides of the paper surface of the floor portion 10F in Fig. 15 and Fig. 16, and a relatively wide region (wide region) 11F_2 disposed along the left and right sides of the paper surface of the floor portion 10F. In addition, the second region 12F is composed of a relatively narrow square-shaped region (square region) 12F_1 in a plan view, located at the upper right and upper left of the floor portion 10F in Figures 15 and 16, a relatively narrow rectangular-shaped region (rectangular region) 12F_2 in a plan view, located at the lower right and lower left of the floor portion 10F, and a relatively wide rectangular-shaped region (central region) 12F_3 in a plan view, located near the center of the floor portion 10F.

[0093] Therefore, when office workers who work in the spatial area F belong to different teams, each team can use a different area of ​​the second area 12F (for example, the first team uses a relatively narrow square area 12F_1, the second team uses a rectangular area 12F_2, etc.). In the present embodiment, a movable desk chair 80, a movable simple desk 100, a movable simple chair 110, and a movable display 140 are installed in advance in the central area 12F_3 of the second area 12F, as shown in Figs. 15 and 16. The desk chair 80, the simple desk 100, the simple chair 110, and the display 140 can be easily moved from the second area 12F to the first area 11F (or out of the spatial area F).

[0094] The area in which mobile office furniture is always placed, such as the central area 12F_3, corresponds to the "third area" in the present invention. By adopting such an area, it becomes possible to effectively utilize the second area 12F. That is, if the second area 12F becomes relatively wide as in the present embodiment, there is a risk that an unused area will be formed in the second area 12F. However, by providing the central area 12F_3 (third area) in the second area 12F, in which only mobile office furniture is always placed, it is possible to effectively utilize the unused area. Specifically, the central area 12F_3 is used as a place to stock mobile office furniture, and the mobile office furniture can be freely moved from the central area 12F_3 to the square area 12F_1 or the rectangular area 12F_2 as necessary. On the other hand, when holding a large event, the mobile office furniture located in the central area 12F_3 can be moved to the first area 11F (or outside the spatial area F), allowing the entire second area 12F to be used in an open manner.

[0095] In this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 15 and Fig. 16, a projector 150 is provided on the ceiling corresponding to the central area 12F_3 of the second area 12F, and a liftable screen 160 is provided on the ceiling near the edge of the central area 12F_3 (the edge in the vertical direction of the paper of Fig. 15 and Fig. 16). In this way, members in the second area 12F can share images projected toward the outside of the second area 12F without placing pressure on the second area 12F.

[0096] In this embodiment, small rooms 12F_4 surrounded by partition walls 60 are provided between the central area 12F_3 of the second area 12F and the large areas 11F_2 of the first area 11F on the left and right sides of the central area 12F_3. Fixed (non-movable) office furniture such as a PC desk 120 and a sofa 130 are installed in each of the small rooms 12F_4. Therefore, the area where the small rooms 12F_4 are provided does not correspond to the "second area" in the present invention (however, if the office furniture installed in the small room 12F_4 is not fixed (non-movable), the area where the small room 12F_4 is provided corresponds to the "third area" in the present invention and is included in the "second area").

[0097] In the first area 11F in this embodiment, as shown in Figs. 15 and 16, a fixed counter desk 30 extending along each side of the wall 20F and a movable chair 40 are installed. As shown in Fig. 15, an office worker can perform individual work using the fixed counter desk 30 and the movable chair 40. In addition, a movable desk 50 is installed in the first area 11F in addition to the fixed counter desk 30. As shown in Fig. 16, an office worker can move a part of the movable chair 40 and a part of the movable desk 50 to a square area 12F_1, a rectangular area 12F_2, and a central area 12F_3 of the second area 12F separately, and perform collaborative work using the movable chair 40 and the movable desk 50. Of course, the office workers can also perform collaborative work using the desk chair 80, the simple desk 100, the simple chair 110, and the display 140 that are installed in advance in the central area 12F_3.

[0098] In this embodiment, a partition group 60 is provided to separate a part of the floor portion 10F (a central area in the left-right direction of the paper in Figs. 15 and 16) from the first area 11F and the second area 12F. Note that, in this embodiment as well, a step or a slope can be provided at the boundary separating the first area 11F and the second area 12F, and the second area 12F can be disposed at a lower (or higher) position than the first area 11F. Also, a boundary line indicating the boundary separating the first area 11F and the second area 12F can be drawn on the floor surface, the color of the first area 11F can be made different from the color of the second area 12F, or a sign indicating the second area 12F can be projected onto the floor surface using a projection means. Furthermore, markers indicating the locations where movable office furniture (such as the aforementioned movable chairs 40 and movable desks 50) should be installed can be provided in the second area 12F, and a projection means can be used to project signs onto the second area 12F encouraging users to find the optimal location for installing the office furniture.

[0099] Furthermore, within the second region 12F, the central region 12F_3, which corresponds to the "third region," can be positioned at a lower (or higher) position than the other regions (the square region 12F_1 and the rectangular region 12F_2), or the color of the central region 12F_3 can be made different from the color of the other regions (the square region 12F_1 and the rectangular region 12F_2).

[0100] In the building structure 6 according to the embodiment described above, the office workers (users) can perform individual work using the office furniture (for example, displays and shelves in addition to the fixed counter desk 30 described above) fixed in the first area 11F of the floor 10F in the predetermined spatial area F, while moving to the second area 12F of the floor 10F in the predetermined spatial area F as needed to perform collaborative work. At this time, since the second area 12F is arranged adjacent to the first area 11F, the office workers can freely access it from the first area 11F. In addition, since the second area 12F is an area where fixing of office furniture is prohibited, the access of the office workers can be promoted, and it is possible to carry out collaborative work by bringing in mobile office furniture (for example, the mobile chair 40 and the mobile desk 50 described above) as necessary. As a result, it becomes extremely easy to switch from individual work to collaborative work (or from collaborative work to individual work), which can effectively contribute to both maximizing individual productivity and creating unified results across the entire organization. Furthermore, the second area 12F functions as a free space with no fixed office furniture, which has the advantage of saving the effort and expense of removing fixed office furniture.
