Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to apartment buildings. [Background technology]

[0002] Patent Document 1 discloses a dwelling unit in an apartment building. A hallway runs straight through the center of the unit, from the entrance to the dining-kitchen at the back. The dining-kitchen faces a balcony on the opposite side of the common hallway. Looking from the entrance toward the dining-kitchen, a living room is located to the front right, a washroom and toilet room are located at the back right, a living room is located at the front left, and a living room is located at the back left. All of the rooms are connected to the hallway via doors. The living room at the back left has direct access to the dining-kitchen, while the other rooms can only access the dining-kitchen via the hallway. Since none of the rooms, except the dining-kitchen, face the balcony, outdoor light does not reach these rooms sufficiently. Since all of the rooms, except the dining-kitchen, have small or no windows, ventilation in these rooms is poor. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Publication No. 3193823 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a dwelling unit that allows outdoor light to easily enter any of a plurality of rooms, facilitates ventilation in any of these rooms, and allows air to easily pass between these rooms.

The interior window 75 may be a high window or a waist-high window. If the interior window 75 is a high window, privacy in the workroom 70 is ensured. If the interior window 75 is a waist-high window, the glass screen of the interior window 75 is preferably translucent, thereby ensuring privacy in the workroom 70. If the interior window 75 is openable, ventilation between the workroom 70 and the living, dining, and kitchen 40 is ensured. A small door may be installed in the partition wall 46, and the height of the small door is set to the ceiling height of the space below the floor of the unit base 55. When the small door is opened, it is possible to move between the space under the floor of the unit stand 55 and the workroom 70.

[0054] The workroom 70 has a storage space 74 on its north face, east of the partition wall 46 and set back north from the partition wall 46. The storage space 74 is adjacent to the closet 68 on the south side, via the partition wall. The storage space 74 is adjacent to the living / dining / kitchen 40 on the east side, via the partition wall 45. The storage space 74 is adjacent to the living / dining / kitchen 40 on the west side, via the partition wall 65. One or more shelves may be installed in the storage space 74, and the shelves may be adjustable shelves whose height can be changed. The storage space 74 may be a closet with a door. The door may be a single sliding door, and when opened, the door may overlap with the interior window 75.

[0055] The workroom 70 has a window 76 installed in the wall 2 on its south side. The window 76 is a waist-high window, and a waist-high wall that is part of the wall 2 on the south side is installed below the window 76. Note that a fixed window may be installed in place of the waist-high wall, or the window 76 may not be a waist-high window but may be a fixed window that extends down to the floor level of the workroom 70.

[0056] Wall 2 has a pipe space 77 on the south side of workroom 70, west of window 76. Pipe space 77 extends vertically within wall 2. Wall 2 may have a second pipe space above window 76 on the south side of workroom 70, with the west side of the second pipe space communicating with the upper part of pipe space 77. The thickness of the portion of wall 2 where pipe space 77 and the second pipe space are provided is thicker than the thickness of the portion where these pipe spaces are not provided. The exhaust duct of the kitchen exhaust fan may be piped through a ceiling pipe space provided in the ceiling of dwelling unit 1 to the second pipe space and lead to an exhaust port provided at the top of wall 2. The exhaust duct of the bathroom exhaust fan may be piped through a ceiling pipe space to the second pipe space and lead to an exhaust port provided at the top of wall 2. The exhaust duct of the kitchen exhaust fan and the exhaust duct of the bathroom exhaust fan may merge in the second pipe space.

[0057] The workroom 70 has a door 72 on its east side that separates it from the living room 60. Specifically, an opening is formed in a portion of the partition wall 65 that is south of the partition wall 46, and the door 72 is provided in that opening. The opening in which the door 72 is provided is located north from the wall 2, and a portion of the partition wall 65 is between the opening and the wall 2. The door 72 is a sliding door. Specifically, the door 72 is a single sliding door. When the door 72 is opened, ventilation between the workroom 70 and the living room 60 is ensured. When not only the door 72 but also the window 76, the door 61 of the living room 60, and the entrance door 11 are opened, a ventilation path from the balcony 6 to the common corridor 8 is ensured. When not only the door 72 but also the window 76, the door 61 of the living room 60, and the door 41 of the living / dining / kitchen room 40 are opened, a ventilation path from the balcony 6 to the kitchen exhaust fan is ensured. If the door 72 is a sliding door or a single sliding door, the door 72 may have a storage shelf. In this case, when the door 72 is closed, the storage shelf is exposed to the work room 70, and when the door 72 is opened, the storage shelf is hidden.

[0058] By providing the door 72 as described above, a worker working in the workroom 70 can move to the living room 60 to take a break without being disturbed by family members in the living-dining, dining-kitchen, and kitchen 40. By providing this door 72 and the door 61 to the living room 60, the dwelling unit 1 has a first traffic line that connects the workroom 70 to the entrance hall 14 via the living room 60. A worker working in the workroom 70 can move along the first traffic line to the entrance hall 14 without passing through the living-dining, dining-kitchen, and kitchen 40, and enter the toilet room 20, the washroom 25, or the bathroom 30. The worker can move along the first traffic line to the entrance hall 14 and go out without passing through the living-dining, dining-kitchen, and kitchen 40. This first traffic line prevents workers from disturbing family members who are having a family time together in the living-dining, dining-kitchen, and kitchen 40.

[0059] An interior window 82 may be provided in the hanging wall portion above the door 72 of the partition wall 65, or the entire hanging wall portion may be replaced with the interior window 82. By installing such an interior window 82, outdoor light is brought into the work room 70 through the window 62 in the living room 60 and the interior window 82, and outdoor light is brought into the living room 60 through the window 76 in the work room 70 and the interior window 82. If the interior wall is openable, ventilation between the work room 70 and the living room 60 is ensured even when the door 72 is closed.

[0060] The workroom 70 has a door 71 on its west side that separates it from the living, dining, and kitchen 40. Door 71 faces door 72. Door 71 is a hinged door. Specifically, door 71 is a hinged door that opens inward when viewed from the workroom 70 and opens outward when viewed from the living, dining, and kitchen 40. When door 71 is opened, ventilation between the workroom 70 and living, dining, and kitchen 40 is ensured. When not only door 71 but also window 76 and door 41 of the living, dining, and kitchen 40 are opened, a ventilation route from the balcony 6 to the kitchen exhaust fan is ensured. When not only door 71 but also window 76, door 41 of the living, dining, and kitchen 40 and entrance door 11 are opened, a ventilation route from the balcony 6 to the common corridor 8 or vice versa is ensured.

[0061] By providing the door 71 as described above, a worker working in the workroom 70 can move to the living / dining / kitchen area 40 to take a break without disturbing the family members sleeping in the living room 60. By providing this door 71 and the door 41 to the living / dining / kitchen area 40, the dwelling unit 1 has a second traffic line that connects the workroom 70 to the entrance hall 14 via the living / dining / kitchen area 40. A worker working in the workroom 70 can move along the second traffic line to the entrance hall 14 without passing through the living room 60 and enter the toilet room 20, the washroom 25, or the bathroom 30. The worker can move along the second traffic line to the entrance hall 14 and go out without passing through the living room 60. This second traffic line prevents the worker from disturbing the family members sleeping in the living room 60.

[0062] The workroom 70 has a hanging wall hanging down from its ceiling on its west side. The hanging wall is provided above a door 71, and the hanging wall and the door 71 separate the workroom 70 from the living, dining, and kitchen 40. An interior window 81 may be provided in the hanging wall, or the entire hanging wall may be replaced with the interior window 81. By installing such an interior window 81, outdoor light is brought into the workroom 70 through the window 47 of the living, dining, and kitchen 40 and the interior window 81, and outdoor light is brought into the living, dining, and kitchen 40 through the window 76 of the workroom 70 and the interior window 81. If the interior wall is openable, ventilation between the workroom 70 and the living, dining, and kitchen 40 is ensured.

[0063] A work table 73 is installed in the work room 70. Specifically, the work table 73 is located between the partition wall 65 and the pipe space 77, close to the south-facing wall 2, and in front of the window 76. The work table 73 is detachably attached to the partition wall 65 and the wall 2. The height of the work table 73 is set so that a person can work on the work table 73 while sitting on a chair in front of the work table 73. The height of the work table 73 may also be set so that a person can work on the work table 73 while standing in front of it. The height of the work table 73 may be adjustable.

[0064] A clothes drying rack 80 is installed in the workroom 70. Specifically, the clothes drying rack 80 is suspended from the ceiling of the workroom 70, and has a ring-shaped or J-shaped hanging portion at its lower end. Laundry is hung on a clothesline pole hung from the lower end of the clothes drying rack 80, or directly on the clothes drying rack 80. The clothes drying rack 80 is removable from the ceiling.

[0065] <Modification 1 dwelling unit> Below, we will explain modifications that are different from the above-mentioned embodiment. Other than the modifications described below, the embodiment is the same as the above-mentioned embodiment. Similarly to FIG. 2, FIGS. 3 and 5 are enlarged views of region II in the modifications.

[0066] 3 and 4, a louver 90 is erected on the north face of the workroom 70 in place of the partition wall 46, and the workroom 70 is adjacent to the south of the eastern part of the southern part of the living / dining / kitchen area 40 via the louver 90. The louver 90 has a plurality of vertical slats 91 and a plurality of horizontal slats 92.

[0067] The vertical slats 91 are arranged east-west at intervals and are erected from the floor to the ceiling of the workroom 70 and the living / dining / kitchen kitchen 40. The intervals between the vertical slats 91 may be equal or unequal. The angle of the vertical slats 91 may be adjustable so that they can be swung laterally around a rotation axis extending up and down. The upper ends of the vertical slats 91 may be attached so as to be movable laterally relative to the ceiling, and the lower ends of the vertical slats 91 may be attached so as to be movable laterally relative to the floor, and the intervals between these vertical slats 91 may be adjustable.

[0068] The horizontal slats 92 are arranged vertically at intervals between adjacent vertical slats 91 and are installed between the adjacent vertical slats 91. The intervals between the horizontal slats 92 may be equal or unequal. If the angle of the vertical slats 91 is adjustable, both ends of the horizontal slats 92 are arranged so as not to hinder the swinging movement of the vertical slats 91. The angle of the horizontal slats 92 may be adjustable so that they can swing vertically around a rotation axis extending horizontally east-west. If the horizontal slats 92 are installed horizontally, they can be used as shelves on which items can be placed, and the louvers 90 also function as shelves. If the spacing between the vertical slats 91 is adjustable, the horizontal slats 92 may be connected to the vertical slats 91 by a horizontal sliding shaft, and the sliding shaft may be pulled out of or retracted into the connecting holes of the vertical slats 91 depending on the spacing of the vertical slats 91. The horizontal slats 92 may be connected to the vertical slats 91 so as to be movable up and down, and the spacing between these horizontal slats 92 may be adjustable.

[0069] The area enclosed by the horizontal slats 92 and the vertical slats 91 is an opening, which ensures ventilation and lighting. By adjusting the angle of the vertical slats 91 or the horizontal slats 92, the opening ratio of the opening is adjusted, and thus the degree of ventilation and lighting. By placing an object on the horizontal slats 92, the opening ratio of the opening is adjusted, and thus the degree of ventilation and lighting.

[0070] A circulator may be installed in at least one opening. When the circulator blows air from the living / dining kitchen 40 to the working room 70 or blows air in the opposite direction, the air circulates between the living / dining kitchen 40 and the working room 70 through the openings in the louvers 90, thereby making the temperatures in the living / dining kitchen 40 and the working room 70 uniform.

[0071] A transparent plate such as an acrylic plate may cover at least one opening. The transparent plate may be located within the opening closer to the living / dining / kitchen area 40, closer to the workroom 70, or midway between the workroom 70 and the living / dining / kitchen area 40. If all openings are covered with transparent plates, sound insulation, air impermeability, and light transmission are achieved. As the number of openings covered with transparent plates decreases, the sound insulation and air impermeability decrease.

[0072] An illuminator may be provided in at least one opening. The illuminator may be a direct light that directly illuminates the living / dining / kitchen kitchen 40 or the workroom 70, or an indirect light that indirectly illuminates the living / dining / kitchen kitchen 40 and the workroom 70 by directly illuminating the vertical slats 91 or horizontal slats 92. If the illuminator is an indirect light, the balance between the brightness of the illuminator, the brightness in the workroom 70, and the brightness of the living / dining / kitchen kitchen 40 will block the line of sight from the workroom 70 to the living / dining / kitchen kitchen 40 and from the living / dining / kitchen kitchen 40 to the workroom 70. Of course, a transparent panel and an illuminator may be used together.

[0073] A screen may hang down from the upper end of the louver 90 on the living / dining / kitchen 40 side, and the opening of the louver 90 may be blocked by the screen. A screen may hang down from the upper end of the louver 90 on the workroom 70 side, and the opening of the louver 90 may be blocked by the screen. The screen may be, for example, a horizontal sliding curtain, a roller curtain, a vertical blind, or a horizontal blind.

[0074] <Dwelling unit of variation 2> As shown in Figure 5, the distance between partition wall 46 and wall 2 is wider than the distance between partition wall 46 and wall 2 in the cases of Figures 1 and 2. In this case, partition wall 100 is erected on the west side of workroom 70, and partition wall 100 and partition wall 46 form an outside corner when viewed from living / dining / kitchen area 40, and form an inside corner when viewed from workroom 70. An opening is formed in partition wall 100, and door 71 is provided in that opening.

[0075] Compared to the case of Figure 2, the work room 70 has been expanded to the north, and therefore the work room 70 has a recessed space in the north. A cushioned bench 110 is placed in this space. The cushioned bench 110 may be stationary or may be fixed to the partition wall 46 or the like. If the cushioned bench 110 is fixed, the cushioned bench 110 may be removable. The cushioned bench 110 can also be used as a bed. The cushioned bench 110 may have a backrest. The cushioned bench 110 may have armrests.

[0076] By placing the cushioned bench 110 in the workroom 70, the workroom 70 can also be used as a guest room, hobby room, relaxation room, conversation room, etc.

[0077] <Dwelling unit of variation 3> The floor plan of the dwelling unit 1 may be reversed east-west from the floor plan in Fig. 1. The same applies to the first and second modifications.

[0078] <Summary> (1) The living / dining / kitchen kitchen 40, the workroom 70, and the living room 60 face the exterior wall 2, and the living / dining / kitchen kitchen 40, the living room 60, and the workroom 70 each have windows 47, 62, and 76, which are located on the exterior wall 2. This allows outdoor light to easily enter the living / dining / kitchen kitchen 40, the living room 60, and the workroom 70, and also facilitates ventilation in the living / dining / kitchen kitchen 40, the living room 60, and the workroom 70. Since the workroom 70 can be accessed from both the living / dining / kitchen kitchen 40 and the living room 60, a traffic flow connecting the living / dining / kitchen kitchen 40 and the living room 60 through the workroom 70 is ensured, and air flows easily between the living / dining / kitchen kitchen 40, the workroom 70, and the living room 60. Ventilation between the living / dining / kitchen kitchen 40 and the living room 60 is ensured through the workroom 70. Even if any of the windows 47, 62, 76 is a fixed window, wind can easily pass between the living / dining / kitchen area 40, the workroom 70, and the living room 60, so ventilation is easy in all of the living / dining / kitchen area 40, the living room 60, and the workroom 70.

[0079] (2) When family members are in the living / dining / kitchen area 40, a worker working in the workroom 70 can move to the living room 60 without meeting the family members. When family members are in the living room 60, a worker can move from the workroom 70 to the living / dining / kitchen area 40 without meeting the family members.

[0080] (3) The external light that enters the living room, dining room, and kitchen 40 through window 47 does not easily reach the eastern part of the southern part of the dining room, dining room, and kitchen 40. Even so, the external light that enters the workroom 70 through window 76 reaches the eastern part of the southern part of the dining room, dining room, and kitchen 40 through interior window 75. Because interior window 75 faces window 76, the external light that enters the workroom 70 through window 76 reaches the eastern part of the southern part of the dining room, dining room, and kitchen 40 through interior window 75 sufficiently.

[0081] (4) Because the door 71 and the door 72 of the workroom 70 face each other, when the door 71 and the door 72 are opened, ventilation, aeration, and airflow are ensured between the living / dining / kitchen area 40 and the living room 60. The traffic flow connecting the living / dining / kitchen area 40 and the living room 60 through the workroom 70 is linear, making it easy to move back and forth between the living / dining / kitchen area 40 and the living room 60. When the door 71 and the second door 72 are closed, the workroom 70 becomes a closed room, ensuring privacy and secrecy in the workroom 70.

[0082] (5) Because the workroom 70 has an interior window 81 on the west side above the door 71, light can be brought in from the workroom 70 to the living room 60 or vice versa, even if the door 71 is not opened. Because the workroom 70 has an interior window 82 on the east side above the door 72, light can be brought in from the workroom 70 to the living room 60 or vice versa, even if the door 72 is not opened.

[0083] (6) The work room 70 has a work table 73 that is close to the wall 2 and faces the window 76, so the area above the work table 73 is bright. This makes it easy to work on the work table 73. When working while sitting in front of the work table 73, the worker can look out the window 76. This makes the worker feel relaxed.

[0084] (7) Because the living room 60 can be accessed from the entrance hall 14 and the living / dining / kitchen kitchen 40 can be accessed from the entrance hall 14, a traffic line is secured from the work room 70 via the living / dining / kitchen kitchen 40, the entrance hall 14, and the living room 60 to the work room 70. A traffic line is secured from the work room 70 via the living room 60, the entrance hall 14, and the living / dining / kitchen kitchen 40 to the work room 70. Therefore, mobility within the dwelling unit 1 is high.

[0085] (8) It is possible to go out from the workroom 70 through the living room 60, the entrance hall 14 and the entrance door 11 in that order without passing through the living room, dining room, and kitchen 40, or conversely, it is possible to enter the workroom 70 from the outside through the entrance door 11, the entrance hall 14 and the living room 60 in that order. Similarly, it is possible to go back and forth between the outside and the workroom 70 via the route that passes through the living room, dining room, and kitchen 40 without passing through the living room 60. There are also two ways of accessing the toilet room 20, the washroom 25 and the bathroom 30 from the workroom 70.

[0086] (9) Because the louvers 90 separate the workroom 70 from the living / dining / kitchen area 40, ventilation between the two is ensured, and light from the living / dining / kitchen area 40 is brought into the workroom 70, and light from the workroom 70 is brought into the living / dining / kitchen area 40. Because the louvers 90 block the view from the living / dining / kitchen area 40 to the workroom 70, privacy and secrecy in the workroom 70 are ensured. Items can be placed on the horizontal slats 92 below the opening of the louvers 90. Because the items block the view, privacy and secrecy in the workroom 70 are ensured.

[0087] (10) The workroom 70 has good lighting, and is warmed by sunlight during the daytime in winter. In particular, when the door 71 and the second door 72 are closed, the workroom 70 becomes an enclosed room, and therefore the workroom 70 has high heat retention. Therefore, this dwelling unit 1 contributes to reducing the use of heating appliances in winter. Ultimately, the house 1 contributes to realizing a decarbonized society by promoting carbon neutrality, which reduces carbon dioxide emissions to virtually zero, and to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
