Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to housing. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, there has been known a house in which a semi-outdoor space with an exterior floor and eaves ceiling is arranged continuously on the outdoor side of the living room, and the living room space and the semi-outdoor space are connected via a window (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In such a house, the semi-outdoor space makes it easy to take in sunlight and ventilation into the living room while maintaining a moderate level of privacy, creating a bright, open atmosphere that makes it easy to experience the changes of nature.

[0003] In addition, exterior structures are installed around the perimeter of the property to surround the house from the outside, enhancing crime prevention. For example, fence-like barriers made of precast concrete or concrete blocks are used as exterior structures, and the house is hidden by such barriers, ensuring the privacy of the residents.

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2018-150802 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-227433 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, if a semi-outdoor space is located on the first floor of a house, it is open to the outside, which is undesirable from a security standpoint as a space for small children to play in. Therefore, if the semi-outdoor space is surrounded by a fence-like screen to ensure security, while privacy and security can be ensured, there is the problem that it becomes difficult to obtain sunlight and ventilation.

[0006] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to ensure privacy and security in a semi-outdoor space or within a house while ensuring sunlight and ventilation into the house through the semi-outdoor space. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The invention described in claim 1 is, for example, as shown in Figs. 1 to 12, a house 2, Site 1 and A housing body 3 constructed on the site 1, formed in a substantially L-shape in plan view, with a recess 3c formed such that a part of the exterior wall surface is recessed toward the interior of the room relative to the other exterior wall surfaces; A roof 7 formed in a substantially L-shape in plan view and provided on the housing body; The house main body 3 is formed in a substantially L-shape in plan view and has the recess 3c, thereby providing a garden 12 at the position of the recess 3c on the site 1; an entrance porch 16 adjacent to the garden 12; a first entrance 4b with a door for people to pass through, formed in a first floor portion (exterior wall portion 4A) of an exterior wall 4 of the housing main body 3 adjacent to the entrance porch; a shielding wall (13) that is integrally formed with the housing main body (3) and that is arranged to surround the garden area (12) together with an outer wall surface of the housing main body (3) that is substantially L-shaped in plan view and that is adjacent to the garden area (12); The garden 12 is open to the sky, and there are no rooms of the main house above the garden. The shielding wall 13 is characterized in that a second entrance 14 (gate 14) with a door 14a for people to pass through is formed in the shielding wall 13, connecting the garden 12 with the outside.

[0008] According to the invention described in claim 1, residents can spend time in garden 12 from first entrance 4b, and garden 12 is surrounded by shielding walls 13 whose both ends are seamlessly connected to the sides of main body 3 and integrally formed with main body 3, ensuring privacy and security for residents spending time in garden 12 and the indoor space of main body 3 through first entrance 4b. Furthermore, garden 12 is located between first entrance 4b, which allows access to the interior of main body 3, and second entrance 14, which allows access to the exterior of garden 12, and therefore serves as an approach connecting the interior space of main body 3 with the exterior of garden 12, making it easy for residents to gather. This creates a space that is easy for residents to spend time in and comfortable. Furthermore, the garden area 12 is open to the sky, and the shielding wall 13 has a second entrance / exit 14 with a door that connects the garden area 12 to the outside. Therefore, by making the door translucent and breathable, or by opening the door, sunlight and ventilation can be ensured inside the main body of the house 3 through the garden area 12, which is a semi-outdoor space.

[0009] The invention described in claim 2 is, for example, as shown in Figs. 5 and 9 to 12, in the house 2 described in claim 1, The first floor of the main body 3 of the house is provided with an entrance 20 and the entrance porch 16, and the first entrance 4b is an entrance 4b facing the entrance porch 16, The shielding wall 13 has a first shielding wall 13a that is positioned directly opposite a first location 4A of the outer wall 4 of the main body 3 of the house where the first entrance / exit 4b is formed, and the second entrance / exit 14 is formed in the first shielding wall 13a.

[0010] According to the invention described in claim 2, the shielding wall 13 has a first shielding wall 13a positioned directly opposite a first location 4A of the exterior wall 4 of the main house 3 where the first entrance 4b is formed, and the second entrance 14 is formed in the first shielding wall 13a, so that air can easily pass from the second entrance 14 to the first entrance 4b, and opening the first entrance 4b ensures ventilation into the main house 3. Furthermore, because the line of sight is easily passed from the first entrance 4b to the second entrance 14, opening the first entrance 4b makes it easy to see the residents spending time in the garden 12 and those outside the second entrance 14. Therefore, it is possible to ensure security in the semi-outdoor space where the residents can spend their time comfortably, while also ensuring ventilation into the main house 3 through the garden 12, which is a semi-outdoor space.

[0011] The invention described in claim 3 is the house 2 described in claim 1, The first floor of the main body 3 of the house is provided with an entrance 20 and the entrance porch 16, and the first entrance 4b is an entrance 4b facing the entrance porch 16, The shielding wall 13 is A first shielding wall 13a located directly opposite a first location 4A where the first entrance 4b is formed in the outer wall 4 of the housing main body 3; a second shielding wall (13b) positioned orthogonal to the first shielding wall (13a) and the first location (4A) in a plan view, The second entrance 14 is characterized in that it is formed in the second shielding wall 13b.

[0012] According to the invention described in claim 3, the shielding wall 13 includes a first shielding wall 13a located directly opposite the first location 4A where the first entrance 4b is formed, and a second shielding wall 13b located perpendicular to the first location 4A where the first entrance 4b is formed in the exterior wall 4 of the main body 3 of the house. The second entrance 14 is formed in the second shielding wall 13b, so that even when the first entrance 4b is open, it is difficult for people to see into the main body 3 from the second entrance 14 through the first entrance 4b. Furthermore, if the door of the second entrance 14 is breathable, wind can be drawn into the garden 12 from the outside. Therefore, it is possible to ensure privacy and security in the semi-outdoor space where residents can spend their time comfortably, while also ensuring ventilation into the house through the garden 12, which is a semi-outdoor space.

[0013] The invention described in claim 4 is, for example, as shown in Figs. 1 to 4, 6, 9 to 11, a house 2, Site 1 and A housing body 3 constructed on the site 1, formed in a substantially L-shape in plan view, with a recess 3c formed such that a part of the exterior wall surface is recessed toward the interior of the room relative to the other exterior wall surfaces; A roof formed in a substantially L-shape in a plan view and provided on the housing body; The house main body 3 is formed in a substantially L-shape in plan view and has the recess 3c, thereby providing a garden 12 at the position of the recess 3c on the site 1; An entrance 20 provided on the first floor of the main body 3 of the house; an entrance porch 16 located between the entrance 20 and the garden 12; A first entrance 4b with a door, which is an entrance 4b, formed in a first floor portion (exterior wall portion 4A) of an exterior wall 4 adjacent to the entrance porch 16 of the housing main body 3; a shielding wall (13) that is integrally formed with the housing main body (3) and that is arranged to surround the garden area (12) together with an outer wall surface of the housing main body that is substantially L-shaped in plan view and that is adjacent to the garden area (12); The garden area 12 is open to the sky, The shielding wall 13 is formed with a second entrance 14 (gate 14) with a door 14a connecting the garden 12 to the outside, The shielding wall 13 has a first shielding wall 13a located directly opposite a first location 4A of the outer wall 4 of the housing main body 3 where the first entrance / exit 4b is formed, and the second entrance / exit 14 is formed in the first shielding wall 13a, A window 4a (second opening 4a) is formed in a second location 4B located on the second floor of the exterior wall 4 of the housing main body 3, The height position of the lower edge of the window 4a is set to be approximately equal to the second floor of the main body 3 of the house, The upper end of the first shielding wall 13a is located above the lower edge of the window 4a and below the vertical center of the window 4a, and the upper edge of the second entrance / exit 14 is located below the second floor of the main body of the house 3.

[0014] According to the invention described in claim 4, residents can spend time in garden 12 through first entrance 4b, and garden 12 is surrounded by shielding wall 13, both ends of which are seamlessly connected to the side surfaces of main body 3 and integrally formed with main body 3, ensuring privacy and security for residents spending time in garden 12 and the indoor space of main body 3 through first entrance 4b. Furthermore, garden 12 is located between first entrance 4b, which allows access to the interior of main body 3, and second entrance 14, which allows access to the exterior of garden 12, and therefore serves as an approach connecting the interior space of main body 3 with the exterior of garden 12, making it easy for residents to gather. This creates a space that is easy for residents to spend time in and comfortable. Furthermore, the garden area 12 is open to the sky, and the shielding wall 13 has a second entrance / exit 14 with a door that connects the garden area 12 to the outside. Therefore, by making the door translucent and breathable, or by opening the door, sunlight and ventilation can be ensured inside the main body of the house 3 through the garden area 12, which is a semi-outdoor space. Furthermore, the shielding wall 13 has a first shielding wall 13a located directly opposite a first location 4A of the exterior wall 4 of the main house 3 where the first entrance 4b is formed, and the second entrance 14 is formed in the first shielding wall 13a, so that air can easily pass from the second entrance 14 to the first entrance 4b, and opening the first entrance 4b ensures ventilation into the main house 3. Furthermore, because the line of sight is easily passed from the first entrance 4b to the second entrance 14, opening the first entrance 4b makes it easier to see the residents spending time in the garden 12 and those outside the second entrance 14. Therefore, it is possible to ensure the security of the semi-outdoor space where the residents can spend their time comfortably, while also ensuring ventilation into the main house 3 through the garden 12, which is a semi-outdoor space. Furthermore, the lower edge of window 4a on the second floor is set at approximately the same height as the second-floor floor of main housing 3, the upper end of first screening wall 13a is located above the lower edge of window 4a but below the vertical center of window 4a, and the upper edge of second entrance 14 is located below the second-floor floor of main housing 3. Therefore, when looking down from the second floor through window 4a, garden 12 and first screening wall 13a are visible. Second entrance 14 is formed in first screening wall 13a, and if the door is transparent, the line of sight will also pass to the outside of second entrance 14, and portion 14b of first screening wall 13a corresponding to the small wall of second entrance 14 will also be visible. As a result, when looking down from the second floor through window 4a, residents spending time in garden 12 and people standing outside second entrance 14 or passing through outside second entrance 14 can be seen. Conversely, the portion 14b of the first shielding wall 13a that corresponds to the small wall of the second entrance 14 can block the view of the second-floor window 4a from the outside, thereby contributing to improving privacy and security in the main house 3.

[0015] The invention described in claim 5 is the house 2 described in claim 1 or 4, A feature of the shielding wall 13 is that a coping is attached to the upper end of the shielding wall 13.

[0016] The invention described in claim 6 is, for example, as shown in Figs. 1, 3, and 5, in the house 2 described in claim 1 or 4, At least one of a delivery box 15 and a mailbox is provided on the shielding wall 13 next to the second entrance / exit 14, and at least one of the delivery box 15 and the mailbox has an insertion opening for putting in items from the outside side and an extraction opening for taking out items from the garden side.

[0017] According to the invention described in claim 6, at least one of delivery box 15 and mailbox is provided on shielding wall 13 next to second entrance 14, and at least one of delivery box 15 and mailbox has an insertion opening for putting items in from the outside of garden 12 and an retrieval opening for retrieving items from the garden 12 side, so that residents can retrieve items placed in at least one of delivery box 15 and mailbox without going outside from garden 12. As a result, garden 12 serves as an approach connecting the interior space of main house 3 with the outside of garden 12, making it easy for residents to gather. This creates a space that is easy for residents to spend time in and comfortable.

[0018] The invention described in claim 7 is, for example, as shown in Figs. 1 to 12, in the house 2 described in claim 1 or 4, The shielding wall 13 is a peripheral wall constructed using the same construction method as that used to construct the main body 3 of the house.

[0019] According to the invention described in claim 7, the shielding wall 13 is an outer wall constructed using the same construction method as that used to construct the main body of the house 3, and therefore has a high degree of integration with the main body of the house 3, making it possible to form the shielding wall 13 robustly. [Effects of the Invention]

[0020] According to the present invention, it is possible to ensure privacy and security in the semi-outdoor space or inside the house, while ensuring sunlight and ventilation into the house through the semi-outdoor space. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0022] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the embodiments described below are subject to various limitations that are technically preferable for implementing the present invention, but the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments and illustrated examples. Note that the directions in the following embodiments and illustrated examples are set solely for the convenience of explanation.

[0023] 1 to 5, reference numeral 1 denotes a site that is a residential lot. The site 1 includes a first site 1A on which a house 2 is built, a second site 1B facing a road (not shown) and used as a parking lot, and a third site 1C extending from one end of the second site 1B to the back (north side) of the site 1 in the depth direction. The second site 1B is located adjacent to the south side of the first site 1A, and the third site 1C is located adjacent to the east side of the first site 1A. In other words, the second site 1B and the third site 1C are located so as to form an L-shape in plan view, and the first site 1A is located at the inner corner of the second site 1B and the third site 1C which are formed in an L-shape in plan view.

[0024] The part of the second site 1B along the southern edge, located opposite the first site 1A, is the road surface 1D of the entire site 1. In other words, the area south of the road surface 1D is a road used by people and vehicles. Therefore, the second site 1B is often used as a parking space. Concrete slabs have been laid on the second site 1B. A fence has also been built around the perimeter of the site 1.

[0025] The southern side of the third site 1C is often used as a parking space and bicycle parking space, etc. A concrete slab has been laid on the southern part of this third site 1C. The north side of the third site 1C is used, for example, as a planting space, a vegetable garden space, a storage space, a laundry drying space, etc., but is not limited to this.

[0026] The house 2 of this embodiment is constructed using a panel construction method in which building components such as walls, floors, and roofs are panelized in advance at a factory and then assembled at the construction site. However, the method can also be applied to buildings made of wood, steel, reinforced concrete, etc., using conventional frame construction or wall construction methods. A panel (wooden architectural panel) is a frame made by assembling vertical and horizontal frame members into a rectangular shape, with auxiliary beams assembled vertically and horizontally inside the rectangular frame to form a frame, and then covering one or both sides of this frame with a surface material such as plywood, resulting in a hollow structure.Furthermore, this hollow space is filled with insulating material such as glass wool or rock wool.

[0027] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the house 2 includes a two-story house main body 3 built on a foundation, and a sloped roof 7 provided on the house main body 3. The main body 3 of the house is longer in the north-south direction than in the east-west direction in plan view, and the sloped roof 7 is a beckoning roof that is also long in the north-south direction like the main body 3 of the house.

[0028] The sloped roof 7, which is a beckoning roof, has a ridge 7a extending in the east-west direction, a south roof surface 7b located on the south side of the ridge 7a, and a north roof surface 7c located on the north side of the ridge 7a. In this embodiment, the south roof surface 7b and the north roof surface 7c have a 1 / 2 inclination, i.e., the south roof surface 7b and the north roof surface 7c are set to the same inclination angle.

[0029] The length of the entire south-side roof surface 7b in the direction of the roof flow is set to be longer than the length of the entire north-side roof surface 7c in the direction of the roof flow. The south roof surface 7b is L-shaped in plan view. That is, the south roof surface 7b has a long portion extending to the eaves and a short portion extending to the eaves. More specifically, the south roof surface 7b of the sloping roof 7 has a first roof section 8, which has a long length from the ridge 7a to the first eaves edge 8a, and a second roof section 9, which has a short length from the ridge 7a to the second eaves edge 9a. The first roof section 8 and the second roof section 9 are adjacent to each other and integrally formed to form the same roof surface 7b. That is, the south roof surface 7b is approximately L-shaped in plan view. The first eaves edge 8a and the second eaves edge 9a are connected in a crank-like manner via the ridge 8b, which is the eastern end of the first roof section 8. The length from the ridge 7a to the second eaves 9a in the second roof portion 9 is set equal to the length from the ridge 7a to the north eaves on the north roof surface 7c.

[0030] A solar cell array 10 having a plurality of solar cell modules is installed on the upper surface of the south roof surface 7b. The plurality of solar cell modules in the solar cell array 10 are also arranged in a generally L-shape in plan view to match the shape of the south roof surface 7b. That is, on the south roof surface 7b, the first roof portion 8 has a longer length to the eaves (first eaves portion 8a) than the second roof portion 9, and therefore the area on which solar cell modules can be installed is larger.

[0031] As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the main house 3 is roughly divided into a western portion 3a located directly below the first roof portion 8 and an eastern portion 3b located directly below the second roof portion 9. That is, the main house 3 itself is shaped according to the difference in size between the length to the first eaves portion 8a and the length to the second eaves portion 9a on the south roof surface 7b. In other words, the western portion 3a located directly below the first roof portion 8 is longer in the north-south direction than the eastern portion 3b located directly below the second roof portion 9. In other words, the main house 3 has a recess 3c formed in such a way that a portion of one exterior wall surface is recessed toward the interior of the room relative to the other exterior wall surfaces. Here, the certain exterior wall surface refers to the wall surface of a first exterior wall 4 facing south in an east side portion 3b described later, and this wall surface of the exterior wall 4 is set back further indoors (towards the entrance 20: north side) than the wall surface of a second exterior wall 5 facing south in a west side portion 3a described later, forming a recess 3c in the southeast corner of the main house body 3. In other words, the main house body 3 is formed in a substantially L-shape in plan view.

[0032] On the first site 1A on which such a house 2 is constructed, an outdoor living space 11 is provided under the eaves of the first eaves portion 8a of the first roof portion 8, and is used as a place where residents usually spend their time, similar to the indoor living room 23. The outdoor living area 11 is provided from the southern side of the western portion 3a of the main house 3, which is located directly below the first roof portion 8, to the vicinity of the southern end of the first site 1A. In other words, the outdoor living area 11 is provided so as to protrude from the main house 3 toward the second site 1B.

[0033] The outdoor living space 11 of this embodiment is a terrace with a floor portion 11a made of a plurality of deck materials. The height position of the upper surface (floor surface) of the floor portion 11a is set to be approximately the same height as the floor surface of the first floor of the main house 3. A handrail 11b is provided at the south end of the outdoor living room 11, and the upper end of this handrail 11b is composed of a counter board 11c. Residents can spend time in the outdoor living room 11, for example, by sitting in a chair facing the counter board 11c and doing various tasks. Therefore, this outdoor living area 11 is the most open space in the house 2 where the residents spend their daily time, and is used as a highly public space.

[0034] Additionally, within the first site 1A, under the eaves of the second eaves portion 9a of the second roof portion 9, there is provided a garden portion 12 as a semi-outdoor space surrounded by a screening wall 13 within the first site 1A. This garden portion 12 is a space formed by the construction of the house main body 3 on the first site 1A, which has a recess 3c and is therefore generally L-shaped in plan view, and is provided in correspondence with the position of the recess 3c. Garden 12 is surrounded on all four sides by the eastern side of western portion 3a of main body 3, the southern side of eastern portion 3b, and an L-shaped screen wall 13 in plan view. The upper part of garden 12 is open to the sky except for the area covered by sloped roof 7.

[0035] The east side portion 3b of the main body 3 of the house has a front doorway 4b (i.e., the first doorway 4b) facing the garden 12. More specifically, the south-facing exterior wall 4 (i.e., the first exterior wall 4) of the east side portion 3b has a wall surface that spans the upper and lower floors. An opening is formed in a part of the first floor portion of the exterior wall 4, and the front doorway 4b, which is opened and closed by a front door, is formed in an exterior wall portion 4A (i.e., the first location 4A) located at the back of the opening. The front doorway 4b is set back from the garden 12, and the space between the first location 4A where the front doorway 4b is formed and the garden 12 constitutes a front door porch 16. The second floor of the main body 3 of the house is located above the front doorway 16. Garden 12 faces entrance 4b via entrance porch 16. In other words, when one goes outside from entrance 4b through entrance porch 16, garden 12 is there, and the entrance 20 of the main house 3 and garden 12 are directly connected via entrance porch 16. The floor of entrance porch 16 (porch floor) is formed in a stepped shape. A bench 12a is provided in the garden 12 so as to protrude from the eastern side of the western portion 3a. The height position of the upper surface of the bench 12a is set to be approximately the same height as the floor surface of the first floor of the main body 3 of the house.

[0036] The shielding wall 13, which surrounds the garden area 12 together with the east and south sides of the main house 3, comprises a first shielding wall 13a located on the south side, a second shielding wall 13b located on the west side, and a third shielding wall 13c located on the north side. This shielding wall 13 is an outer perimeter wall constructed using the same construction method as that used to construct the main house 3. Because the main house 3 of this embodiment is constructed using the panel construction method as described above, the shielding wall 13, like the walls of the main house 3, is constructed using architectural wood panels. Furthermore, because the shielding wall 13 is an exterior wall, it is erected on a foundation, like the exterior walls of the main house 3, with a vapor-permeable waterproof sheet attached to its surface and an exterior material attached with a breathable layer formed. The exterior material and vapor-permeable waterproof sheet may be positioned across the exterior wall of the main house 3 and the shielding wall 13 to enhance their unity. Furthermore, a coping is attached to the upper end of the shielding wall 13.

[0037] The first shielding wall 13a is arranged parallel to the exterior wall 4 (i.e., the first exterior wall 4) facing south in the east side portion 3b of the main body 3 of the house. The first shielding wall 13a is also arranged parallel to or in the same straight line as the exterior wall 5 (i.e., the second exterior wall 5) facing south in the west side portion 3a of the main body 3 of the house. Furthermore, the first shielding wall 13a is arranged perpendicular to the exterior wall 6 (i.e., the third exterior wall 6) facing east in the east side portion 3b of the main body 3 of the house in a plan view. In other words, the first shielding wall 13a is arranged so as to appear to be aligned with the second exterior wall 5 when viewed from the road side, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 . The height dimension of the first shielding wall 13 a is set to be substantially equal to the height dimension of the second outer wall 5 .

[0038] The second shielding wall 13b is disposed perpendicular to the first shielding wall 13a in a plan view. More specifically, the eastern end of the first shielding wall 13a is connected to the southern end of the second shielding wall 13b, and the second shielding wall 13b extends north from the eastern end of the first shielding wall 13a in a plan view. The northern end of the second shielding wall 13b is located north of the ridge 7a. The second shielding wall 13b is disposed parallel to the third exterior wall 6 and along the eastern side of the eastern portion 3b of the main body 3 of the house. The height dimension of the second shielding wall 13b is set to be equal to the height dimension of the first shielding wall 13a. The portion of second shielding wall 13b located north of entrance 4b functions as an exterior wall of main house 3. In other words, the portion of second shielding wall 13b located south of entrance 4b functions as shielding wall 13.

[0039] In plan view, third shielding wall 13c is disposed perpendicular to second shielding wall 13b and parallel to first shielding wall 13a. More specifically, the north end of second shielding wall 13b is connected to the east end of third shielding wall 13c, and third shielding wall 13c extends west from the north end of second shielding wall 13b in plan view. The west end of third shielding wall 13c is connected to the east side of east portion 3b of main body 3 of the house. The height dimension of the third shielding wall 13c is set to be equal to the height dimension of the second shielding wall 13b. The third shielding wall 13c functions as an outer wall of the main body 3 of the house.

[0040] Of the shielding walls 13 configured in this manner, first shielding wall 13a on the south side is provided with gate 14 (i.e., second entrance 14) as an entrance connecting garden 12 with the road side, gate door 14a for opening and closing gate 14, and delivery box 15. Gate 14 is positioned directly opposite entrance 4b, and portion 14b of gate 14, which corresponds to a small wall, is provided parallel to first exterior wall 4. Portion 14b, which corresponds to this small wall, functions as a privacy panel and will be referred to hereinafter as privacy panel 14b. The upper end of the privacy panel 14b is located above the lower edge of the opening 4a (i.e., the window 4a: second opening 4a) formed in a portion of the first exterior wall 4 located on the second floor (i.e., the second portion 4B) and below the vertical center of the opening 4a. Furthermore, the lower end of this privacy panel 14b, i.e., the upper edge of the gate 14, is located below the second floor of the main body 3 of the house. In other words, the vertical dimension of the privacy panel 14b is set to a length that extends from below the second floor to above the second floor and below the center of the window 4a on the second floor. In this embodiment, the vertical dimension of the privacy panel 14b is set to approximately 800 to 1200 mm. The opening height of the gate 14, which serves as an entrance and exit, is set to approximately 2100 to 2700 mm.

[0041] Delivery box 15 is provided next to gate 14. A mailbox (post box) may be provided together with delivery box 15 or instead of delivery box 15. In this embodiment, a nameplate is provided above delivery box 15. Delivery box 15 (mailbox) has an insertion opening for putting in items from the outside of first shielding wall 13a and an retrieval opening for retrieving items from garden 12. Therefore, items stored in delivery box 15 can be retrieved from garden 12 without going outside through gate 14.

[0042] The road side of the gate 14 and gate door 14a is the entrance approach 1E, which crosses the southern end of the first site 1A and the second site 1B and continues to the road surface 1D. The entrance approach 1E extends to the road surface 1D along the east side of the outdoor living area 11. In other words, the garden area 12 is located between the entrance door 4b of the main house 3 and the entrance approach 1E.

[0043] Garden 12 can be accessed from the outside through gate 14, and is surrounded by screen wall 13, making it ideal as a place for children to play or for elderly people to sit and chat on bench 12a. Therefore, garden 12 is used as a place that is relatively open and has a high degree of publicness as a place where residents spend their daily lives, but also has a degree of privacy, as it effectively blocks views from outside.

[0044] The gate door 14a (also called a gate device) that opens or closes the gate 14 has translucency, transparency, and ventilation (breathability) when the gate 14 is closed. The gate 14a of this embodiment is a so-called parent-child swing type, and has a wide parent door and a narrow child door. Both door bodies (parent door, child door) are arranged symmetrically and operate in contrast to each other. In this embodiment, the parent door is located on the western edge of the gate 14, and the child door is located on the eastern edge of the gate 14. Each door body in the gate 14a of this embodiment is attached via a hinge to a support post fixed to the shielding wall 13. However, this is not limited to this, and each door body may also be attached via a hinge to a support post erected adjacent to the shielding wall 13. Furthermore, the door body itself is configured with multiple horizontal frames arranged at intervals above and below, which provides the above-mentioned translucency, see-through properties, and ventilation (breathability). In other words, light, line of sight, and air can pass through the gaps between the horizontal frames.

[0045] Next, the interior of the house main body 3 will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0046] An entrance 20 is provided at a position past the entrance doorway 4b. The entrance 20 has an earthen floor section 20a, which has a floor surface at approximately the same height as the porch floor, and an entrance hall section 20b, which is located one step higher than the earthen floor section 20a. The floor height of the entrance hall section 20b is the same as the floor height of the entire first floor. A shoe closet is provided on the north side of the earthen floor section 20a. Also, a fixed window 20c is provided on the east side of the earthen floor section 20a, from which the third site 1C can be seen. In other words, this fixed window 20c is provided in the second screening wall 13b. The indoor side of the fixed window 20c serves as a seat.

[0047] The entrance hall 20b also functions as a corridor extending in the north-south direction, and on the western side of the southern end is provided an entrance leading to the western part 3a of the main house 3. In addition, a storage space is provided on the south side of the southern end. A toilet 21 is provided on the east side of the northern end of the entrance hall 20b. That is, the toilet 21 is disposed on the north side of the entrance 20. On the west side of the north end of the entrance hall 20b, there is provided an under-stairs storage area 27a that utilizes the space below the stairs 27, which will be described later. On the north side at the north end of the entrance hall 20b, there is provided an entrance leading to a backyard zone equipped with a plurality of non-living rooms 28, 29, 30 and a small room 31.

[0048] A living room 22 is provided in the western portion 3a of the main body 3 of the house, which is beyond the entrance provided on the western side at the southern end of the entrance hall 20b. The living room 22 is a room that combines the functions of a living room 23 (hereinafter referred to as living room 23), a dining room 24 (hereinafter referred to as dining room 24), and a kitchen room 25 (hereinafter referred to as kitchen 25) in one room.

[0049] The living room 23 (lower floor living room 23) is located at the southern end of the western portion 3a and is adjacent to the outer living room 11 via the second outer wall 5 located on the south side. In other words, the second outer wall 5 is provided between the living room 23 and the outer living room 11. An opening 5a (third opening 5a) is formed in the second exterior wall 5. The third opening 5a is a sliding window formed at a height from the floor of the living room 22 to near the upper end of the second exterior wall 5. The third opening 5a is a large opening set to occupy most of the area of ​​the second exterior wall 5. The outer living room 11 is provided so as to protrude from the second outer wall 5, and people can freely move between the living room 23 and the outer living room 11 through the third opening 5a.

[0050] The living room 23 is adjacent to the garden 12 via a third exterior wall 6 located on the east side of the south end of the west portion 3a. In other words, the third exterior wall 6 is provided between the living room 23 and the garden 12. Because the third exterior wall 6 forms the east side surface of the west portion 3a of the main body 3 of the house, its upper end is formed at an angle that matches the inclination angle of the first roof portion 8. An opening 6a (fourth opening 6a) is formed in the third exterior wall 6. The fourth opening 6a is a sliding window that is formed from the floor of the living room 22 to a position at approximately the same height as the third opening 5a in the second exterior wall 5. The bench 12a is provided so as to protrude from the third outer wall 6, and people can freely move between the living room 23 and the bench 12a through the fourth opening 6a.

[0051] The portion of the second exterior wall 5 where the third opening 5a is formed is positioned further inside the house than the southern end face of the west portion 3a. In other words, the south-facing exterior wall of the west portion 3a of the main body 3 of the house has a wall surface extending from the foundation to the first roof portion 8. An opening is formed in part of this exterior wall, and the third opening 5a is formed in the portion of the exterior wall located behind the opening. Therefore, the exterior walls located on the left and right of the portion of the second exterior wall 5 where the third opening 5a is formed extend southward. The exterior living area 11 is located between these left and right exterior walls, and the area of ​​the exterior living area 11 is defined. The exterior wall located on the west side of the outdoor living room 11 is concave on the indoor side when viewed from above, allowing the inside to be used as storage space.

[0052] As shown in FIG. 7, the living room 23 is located directly below the first roof portion 8, and the space above it extends up to the vicinity of the first roof portion 8 to form a sloped ceiling 23a. The lower end of the sloped ceiling 23a is located at a position higher than the second floor of the main house 3. The upper end of the sloped ceiling 23a is located at a height approximately equal to the upper end of a partition wall 46a (described later). The slope angle of the sloped ceiling 23a is set equal to the slope angle of the first roof portion 8.

[0053] The dining room 24 and kitchen 25 are located on the north side of the living room 23. A kitchen counter 25a is installed in the kitchen 25. The kitchen counter 25a is a peninsula kitchen that is adjacent to the interior wall 26 on the backyard zone side. A dining table 24a is installed in the dining room 24. In this embodiment, the dining table 24a is installed adjacent to the kitchen counter 25a on the north-south side, but it may also be installed at a distance from the kitchen counter 25a.

[0054] A staircase 27 is provided in the living room 22. By arranging the staircase 27 in the living room 22 in this way, a so-called center living design can be realized. Center living refers to a floor plan in which one cannot reach other floors without passing through the living room from the entrance. In other words, by arranging the staircase 27 in the living room 22, the house 2 of this embodiment also has a floor plan in which one cannot reach other floors without entering the living room 22 from the entrance 20. The staircase 27 of this embodiment is a straight staircase that ascends from the south side to the north side, and in the space below the staircase 27, there is the under-stairs storage section 27a as described above.

[0055] The northern end of the first floor of the main house 3 is a backyard zone that extends from the western portion 3a to the eastern portion 3b. The above-mentioned interior wall 26 is provided between the backyard zone and the entrance 20 and living room 22. In other words, on the first floor of the main house 3, the area on the north side separated by the interior wall 26 is the backyard zone. On the interior wall 26, there are formed an entrance 26a on the entrance hall 20b side, an entrance 26b located between the kitchen table 25a and the staircase 27, and an entrance 26c located on the west side of the kitchen table 25a. This allows circulation lines to be formed around the dining table 24a and the kitchen table 25a and around the staircase 27. Each of the entrances 26a, 26b, and 26c is opened and closed by fittings such as doors and sliding doors.

[0056] The backyard zone includes a plurality of non-living rooms 28, 29, 30 and a small room 31, as described above. Non-living room 28 is a bathroom and is located at the easternmost part of the backyard zone. Non-residential room 29 is a laundry room and is located adjacent to the west side of non-residential room 28, which is a bathroom. Non-residential room 30 is a washroom and is located adjacent to the west side of non-residential room 29, which is the laundry room. The small room 31 is located adjacent to the northern end of the living room 22, and access to the living room 22 is possible through an entrance / exit 26c (third entrance / exit 26c) formed in the inner wall 26 between the small room 31 and the living room 22. The non-habitable rooms 28, 29, 30 and the small room 31 are arranged in a row in the east-west direction, and the areas along the interior wall 26 can be used as passageways for moving between the non-habitable rooms 28, 29, 30 and the small room 31. In addition, fittings are appropriately installed on the passageways. The entrances 26a, 26b, 26c are located facing the passageways.

[0057] This small room 31 is the room located furthest from the outdoor living room 11 in the western portion 3a of the main body of the house 3, and the doorway 26c between the small room 31 and the kitchen 25 can also be blocked off with fixtures. Therefore, the small room 31 is suitable as a place for residents who do housework in the kitchen 25 or non-living rooms 28, 29, 30 to take a break or to perform housework while teleworking. Therefore, the garden area 12 is the most closed space where residents spend their daily time, and is used as a place with a high level of privacy. The small room 31 is provided with at least a seat 31a for the resident to sit on, so that the resident can spend time comfortably in the small room 31. In this embodiment, a work counter 31b is also provided so that teleworking can also be performed.

[0058] Next, going up the stairs 27, one reaches the second floor of the main house 3. All floors on the second floor are at the same height. At the top of the stairs 27, one first comes across a first corridor 40 that extends in an east-west direction. In addition, there is a second corridor 41 that intersects perpendicularly with the western end of the first corridor 40 in a plan view and extends in a north-south direction. In addition, the second corridor 41 is arranged along the stairs 27. The first corridor 40 and the second corridor 41 are arranged perpendicular to each other to form a substantially L-shape. A toilet 42 is provided on the north side of the first corridor 40. Between the first corridor 40 and the toilet 42, there is an entrance with fittings.

[0059] A first bedroom 43 is provided on the east side of the staircase 27 and the first corridor 40. A doorway with fittings is provided between the east end of the first corridor 40 and the first bedroom 43. This first bedroom 43 is where the resident spends their daily time and can be used as a so-called master bedroom. The first bedroom 43 is located in the east part 3b of the main body 3 of the house, and is provided directly below the second roof portion 9 of the south roof surface 7b and the north roof surface 4c.

[0060] A second bedroom 44 is provided on the west side of the first corridor 40 and the second corridor 41. Between the western end of the first corridor 40 and the second bedroom 44, there is provided a doorway with fittings. This second bedroom 44 is a place where the resident spends their daily time and can be used as a so-called bedroom (children's room). The second bedroom 44 is located in the western part 3a of the main body 3 of the house, and is provided directly below the first roof portion 8 of the southern roof surface 7b and the northern roof surface 4c.

[0061] A first room 46, which is used as a multi-purpose space (multi-commons) shared by residents, is provided on the south side of the second corridor 41 and the second bedroom 44. A doorway with fittings is provided between the south end of the second corridor 41 and the first room 46. The first room 46 is located directly below the first roof portion 8, and is adjacent to the upper space of the living room 23 on the first floor on the north-south direction. Therefore, a partition wall 46a facing the upper space of the living room 23 is provided on the south side of the first room 46. The partition wall 46a is arranged parallel to the second exterior wall 5 and perpendicular to the third exterior wall 6 in a plan view.

[0062] A first opening 46b is formed in the partition wall 46a, connecting the first room 46 with the upper space. The first opening 46b is formed at a height from the floor of the first room 46 to near the upper end of the partition wall 46a, and has multiple small openings formed by vertical and horizontal battens. These multiple small openings are fixed windows, but are not limited to this and may also be openable and closable windows. The first opening 46b may also be a waist-high window whose lower end is located at about waist height (for example, approximately 80 to 100 cm from the floor).

[0063] When one looks horizontally from the first opening 46b toward the south, one can see the sloped ceiling 23a of the living room 23. Also, as shown in FIG. 8 and other figures, when one looks diagonally downward from the first opening 46b toward the south, one can see the living room 23, the third opening 5a formed in the second exterior wall 5, and the outdoor living room 11 located on the outdoor side of the third opening 5a. Furthermore, when one looks diagonally downward from the first opening 46b toward the southeast, one can see the living room 23, the fourth opening 6a formed in the third exterior wall 6, and the garden 12 (including the veranda 12a) located on the outdoor side of the fourth opening 6a. First room 46 is equipped with a desk and chairs, and is located on the second floor, making it a suitable space for teleworking, etc. As described above, first room 46 is designed so that the first floor and outdoor space are within view from first opening 46b, and so while working or attending to duties in first room 46, residents can look toward first opening 46b and see what is happening on the first floor and outdoor space through first opening 46b.

[0064] The ceiling of first room 46 is divided into a horizontal ceiling portion and a sloped ceiling portion, with the broken line L1 shown in Fig. 6 as the boundary. As shown in Fig. 7, the sloped ceiling of first room 46 is arranged in the same straight line as sloped ceiling 23a of living room 23. In other words, a partition wall 46a is installed midway along sloped ceiling 23a that continues from the first floor to the second floor.

[0065] At the eastern end of the first room 46, and on the south side of the staircase 27, there is a passageway 46c. The passageway 46c is disposed adjacent to the second room 47, which is located on the south side of the first bedroom 43. A doorway with fittings is provided between the passageway 46c and the second room 47. The south side of the passage 46c is a storage space that utilizes a wall that is recessed in plan view.

[0066] The second room 47 is disposed adjacent to the south side of the first bedroom 43. That is, the second room 47 is disposed in the eastern portion 3b of the main body 3 of the house, and is located directly under the second roof portion 9. The second room 47 has an exterior wall 4 (first exterior wall 4) facing the outdoor space, and an opening 4a (second opening 4a) that connects the second room 47 to the outdoor space is formed in the exterior wall 4. In other words, the second room 47 is provided at the southern end of the eastern part 3b of the main body 3 of the house. The second opening 4a is located above the screening wall 13, and therefore faces the space above the garden 12. The second opening 4a is formed at a height from the floor of the second room 47 to near the upper end of the outer wall 4, and is divided vertically and horizontally to form a plurality of small openings. These small openings are fixed windows, but are not limited to this and may be windows that can be opened or closed. In addition, in this embodiment, the horizontal bar that divides the second opening 4a into upper and lower parts is located slightly below the vertical center of the second opening 4a, and the upper end of the above-mentioned privacy panel 14b is located below this horizontal bar.

[0067] A sliding door 47a that can be opened and closed is provided between the first bedroom 43 and the second room 47. Therefore, when the sliding door 47a is opened, the first bedroom 43 and the second room 47 become spatially continuous. In other words, the first bedroom 43 and the second room 47 are a single room without an entrance and exit, and this single room is separated by the sliding door 47a. In this embodiment, a sliding door 47a is used to separate the first bedroom 43 and the second room 47, but this is not limited to this and the door may be a partition device that can be stored along the wall and deployed from that storage location.

[0068] The second room 47 is a small room that is mainly used as a multi-purpose space (multi-nook) by the resident using the first bedroom 43 and the resident using the first room 46. The second room 47 is used, for example, as a laundry drying space, a rest space, etc., but is not particularly limited to this. A resident who uses the first room 46 as a work space for teleworking or the like can use the second room 47 as a rest space to check on their children playing in the garden 12 or hang out laundry.

[0069] Because the second opening 4a is located above the screening wall 13, when one looks horizontally south from the second opening 4a, the road comes into view. When one looks diagonally downward from the second opening 4a towards the south, the garden 12 and the gate 14 come into view. If the gate door 14a is configured to be see-through, the entrance approach 1E outside the gate 14 will also come into view. In particular, if the height of the first shielding wall 13a is too high, it becomes difficult to see the road side from the second opening 4a, so it is necessary that the height of the first shielding wall 13a is not too high. Therefore, in this embodiment, the upper end of the first shielding wall 13a is located above the lower edge of the second opening 4a and below the vertical center (horizontal beam) of the second opening 4a. Furthermore, if the height of the lower end of the privacy panel 14b is too low, it will be difficult to see the entrance approach 1E outside the gate 14 from the second opening 4a. Therefore, the height of the lower end of the privacy panel 14b must not be too low. Therefore, in this embodiment, the height position of the lower end of the privacy panel 14b, i.e., the upper edge of the gate 14, is located between the garden 12 and the entrance porch 16 and is set slightly lower than the height position of the upper edge of the opening formed in the first exterior wall 4. However, this is not limited to this, and the height position of the upper edge of the gate 14 may be approximately equal to the height position of the upper edge of the opening. In short, the height position of the lower end of the privacy panel 14b, i.e., the upper edge of the gate 14, is set at a level that does not interfere with pedestrian passage and does not obstruct the line of sight from the second opening 4a on the second floor or the entrance doorway 4b.

[0070] Furthermore, because the second opening 4a is disposed perpendicular to the fourth opening 6a in a plan view, when one looks southwest from the second opening 4a, the living room 23 comes into view through the fourth opening 6a. Therefore, a resident in the second room 47 can look at the first floor and the outdoor space through the second opening 4a by looking toward the second opening 4a while working or resting in the second room 47.

[0071] According to this embodiment, the following excellent effects are achieved. That is, the resident can go out to the garden 12 from the first entrance 4b, and the garden 12 is surrounded by a shielding wall 13 formed integrally with the main house 3, so privacy and security can be ensured for the resident spending time in the garden 12 and the indoor space of the main house 3 through the first entrance 4b. The garden 12 is also located between the first entrance 4b, which allows access to the inside of the main house 3, and the second entrance 14, which allows access to the outside of the garden 12. Therefore, it serves as an approach connecting the interior space of the main house 3 with the outside of the garden 12, making it easy for residents to gather. This makes it a comfortable space for residents to spend time in. Furthermore, the garden 12 is open to the sky, and the screening wall 13 is formed with a second entrance 14 with a door that connects the garden 12 with the outside. The door is translucent and breathable, and by opening the door, sunlight and ventilation can be secured into the main house 3 through the garden 12, which is a semi-outdoor space.

[0072] Furthermore, the shielding wall 13 has a first shielding wall 13a located directly opposite a first location 4A of the exterior wall 4 of the main house 3 where the first entrance 4b is formed, and the second entrance 14 is formed in the first shielding wall 13a, so that air can easily pass from the second entrance 14 to the first entrance 4b, and opening the first entrance 4b ensures ventilation into the main house 3. Furthermore, because the line of sight is easily passed from the first entrance 4b to the second entrance 14, opening the first entrance 4b makes it easier to see the residents spending time in the garden 12 and those outside the second entrance 14. Therefore, it is possible to ensure the security of the semi-outdoor space where the residents can spend their time comfortably, while also ensuring ventilation into the main house 3 through the garden 12, which is a semi-outdoor space.

[0073] Furthermore, the lower edge of window 4a on the second floor is set at approximately the same height as the second-floor floor of main housing 3, the upper end of first screening wall 13a is located above the lower edge of window 4a but below the vertical center of window 4a, and the upper edge of second entrance 14 is located below the second-floor floor of main housing 3. Therefore, when looking down from the second floor through window 4a, garden 12 and first screening wall 13a are visible. Second entrance 14 is formed in first screening wall 13a, and if the door is transparent, the line of sight will also pass to the outside of second entrance 14, and portion 14b of first screening wall 13a corresponding to the small wall of second entrance 14 will also be visible. As a result, when looking down from the second floor through window 4a, residents spending time in garden 12 and people standing outside second entrance 14 or passing through outside second entrance 14 can be seen. Conversely, the portion 14b of the first shielding wall 13a that corresponds to the small wall of the second entrance 14 can block the view of the second-floor window 4a from the outside, thereby contributing to improving privacy and security in the main house 3.

[0074] In addition, at least one of a delivery box 15 and a mailbox is provided on the shielding wall 13 next to the second entrance 14, and at least one of the delivery box 15 and the mailbox has an insertion port for putting items in from the outside of the garden 12 and an retrieval port for retrieving items from the garden 12 side, so that residents can retrieve items placed in at least one of the delivery box 15 and the mailbox without going outside from the garden 12. This means that the garden 12 serves as an approach connecting the interior space of the main house 3 with the outside of the garden 12, making it an easy place for residents to gather. This makes it an easy and comfortable space for residents to spend time in.

[0075] Furthermore, since the shielding wall 13 is an outer wall constructed using the same construction method as that used to construct the main body of the house 3, it has a high degree of integration with the main body of the house 3, making it possible to form the shielding wall 13 in a robust manner.

[0076] Furthermore, of the first roof section 8 and second roof section 9 that form the same roof surface 7b of the sloped roof 7, the first eaves section 8a of the first roof section 8 can be made longer than the second eaves section 9a of the second roof section 9, thereby increasing the area of ​​the roof 7. This makes it possible to secure a larger area for installing a power generating device such as a solar cell array 10, thereby contributing to the realization of a home with high environmental performance. Furthermore, the living room 23 is located directly below the first roof portion 8, and the space above it is sloped ceiling 23a, which extends up to the vicinity of the first roof portion 8, so that the ceiling height can be set to the height of two stories in total, and the air volume can be reduced compared to a flat ceiling. This improves the air conditioning efficiency in the living room 23, contributing to the realization of a home with high environmental performance. Furthermore, the first room 46, located directly below the first roof portion 8, has a partition wall 46a facing the space above the living room 23. The partition wall 46a has a first opening 46b that connects the first room 46 to the upper space, allowing line of sight between the first room 46 and the living room 23. Furthermore, the second room 47, located directly below the second roof portion 9, has a first exterior wall 4 facing the outdoor space. The first exterior wall 4 has a second opening 4a that connects the second room 47 to the outdoor space, allowing line of sight between the second room 47 and the outdoor space. Therefore, residents on upper floors can spend time in the first room 46 or the second room 47 while looking at the living room 23 or the outdoor space from the first room 46 or the second room 47. Residents on lower floors can spend time in the living room 23 or the outdoor space while looking at the first room 46 or the second room 47 from the living room 23 or the outdoor space. This ensures a spatial connection that allows family members to see each other between the upper and lower floors.

[0077] Furthermore, because the first exterior wall 4 is disposed in the same direction as the partition wall 46a, the living room 23 visible from the first opening 46b and the outdoor space visible from the second opening 4a are necessarily disposed in the same direction. This makes it easier to maintain a spatial connection between the living room 23 and the outdoor space, making it easier to create a space where residents can easily gather in the direction of the living room 23 visible from the first opening 46b and the outdoor space visible from the second opening 4a within the house 2 or the site 1 on which the house 2 is built. This makes it easier to see residents on the floor below from the first room 46 or the second room 47, making it easier to ensure a spatial connection that allows family members to see each other between the upper and lower floors.

[0078] Furthermore, because the first room 46 and the second room 47 are arranged adjacent to each other, the living room 23 visible from the first opening 46b and the outdoor space visible from the second opening 4a are necessarily arranged adjacent to each other. This makes it easier to create a spatial connection between the living room 23 and the outdoor space, making it easier to create a space where residents can easily gather in the area of ​​the house 2 or the site 1 on which the house 2 is built, where the living room 23 visible from the first opening 46b and the outdoor space visible from the second opening 4a are located. This makes it easier to see the residents on the floor below from the first room 46 or the second room 47, making it easier to ensure a spatial connection that allows family members to see each other between the upper and lower floors.

[0079] Furthermore, the upper edge of first opening 46b is located near sloped ceiling 23b, and the lower edge is located near the floor of first room 46, so that the vertical dimension of first opening 46b can be secured to be long. This makes it easier for lines of sight to pass between first room 46 and living room 23, making it easier to secure a spatial connection that allows family members to pass each other's lines of sight between upper and lower floors.

[0080] Furthermore, if the first opening 46b is a waist-high window with its upper edge located near the sloped ceiling 23a and its lower edge located above the floor of the first room 46, this is preferable as it can limit to some extent the ease with which lines of sight can pass between the first room 46 and the living room 23, thereby contributing to protecting privacy between upper and lower floors.

[0081] In addition, the outside living room 11, which serves as an outdoor space and allows access to the living room 23 through a third opening 5a formed in the second exterior wall 5 between the living room 23 and the outside living room 11, is located adjacent to the outside side of the end of the living room 23 on the first eaves 8a side, so that a line of sight passes between the first room 46 and the outside living room 11 through the first opening 46b, the living room 23, and the third opening 5a. Therefore, residents on the upper floors can spend time in the first room 46 while looking at the living room 23 and the outside living room 11 from the first room 46. While spending time in the outside living room 11, the residents in the tri-living room 11 can see what is happening in the living room 23 and the first room 46 from the outside living room 11. This ensures a spatial connection between the upper and lower floors, and between the indoors and outdoors, allowing the family to see each other.

[0082] Furthermore, since a power generation device 10 is provided on the sloped roof 7, if the power generation device 10 is a power generation device that uses renewable energy, such as a solar cell array 10, it can contribute to realizing a home with high environmental performance.

[0083] Furthermore, the outdoor space facing the first exterior wall 4 has a garden 12 surrounded by a screen wall 13 within the site 1, and the living room 23 has a third exterior wall 6 facing the garden 12. The third exterior wall 6 has a fourth opening 6a that connects the living room 23 to the garden 12, so that line of sight can be seen between the living room 23 and the garden 12 through the fourth opening 6a. This ensures a spatial connection that allows family members to see each other between the indoors and outdoors. Moreover, if the first opening 46b or the second opening 4a is located in a position that can be seen from the fourth opening 6a, a spatial connection can be ensured that allows family members to see each other between the upper and lower floors and between the indoors and outdoors through the fourth opening 6a. Furthermore, garden 12 is surrounded by screen wall 13 within site 1, making it difficult to see from outside site 1, but easy to see from second opening 4a. Therefore, garden 12 has high security and is suitable as a space for children to play, for example.

[0084] In addition, the garden area 12 is located between the entrance door 4b of the main house 3 and the entrance approach 1E, and the part of the screening wall 13 on the entrance approach 1E side is provided with a gate 14, a gate door 14a for opening and closing the gate 14, and a delivery box 15, so that from the second opening 4a it is possible to see people entering and exiting the gate 14 and how packages are being stored in the delivery box 15.

[0085] In addition, the second opening 4a and the fourth opening 6a are arranged in directions perpendicular to each other in a plan view, so that there is line of sight between the second opening 4a on the upper floor and the fourth opening 6a on the lower floor. This ensures a spatial connection that allows family members to see each other between the upper and lower floors and between indoors and outdoors through the second opening 4a and the fourth opening 6a.

[0086] The property also includes the living room 23, and an outdoor space called an out-living room 11, which is adjacent to the outdoor side of the south side at the southern end of the living room 23 and allows access to and from the living room 23 through a third opening 5a formed in the second exterior wall 5 between the living room 23 and the garden area 12, which is adjacent to the outdoor side of the east side at the southern end of the living room 23 and allows access to and from the living room 23 through a fourth opening 6a formed in the third exterior wall 6 between the living room 23 and the garden area 12, which serves as a semi-outdoor space surrounded by a screening wall 13 within the property 1, and a small room 31, which is adjacent to the north side at the northern end of the living room 23 and allows access to and from the living room 23 through an entrance / exit 26c formed in the interior wall 26, which is a partition wall between the living room 23 and the garden area 12. The southern end of the living room 23 is located on the road side 1D of the property 1, so that the out-living room 11 is located closest to the road, the garden area 12 is located close to the road but is shielded by the screening wall 13, and the small room 31 is located furthest from the road. As a result, when living a life centered around the living room 23, the resident can choose from the options of spending time in the living room 23, spending time in the highly public outdoor living room 11, spending time in the garden 12 that combines publicness and privacy, and spending time in the highly private small room 31. This allows for a wide variety of ways to spend time centered around the living room 23, improving the comfort of living a life centered around the living room 23.

[0087] Furthermore, the outdoor living room 11 has a floor section 11a that protrudes from the exterior surface of the main house 3, and a handrail 11b located at the tip of the protruding end of the floor section 11a. The upper end of the handrail 11b is formed by a counter board 11c, so the handrail 11b is located farther from the main house 3. In other words, it is located closer to the road. Therefore, when working on the counter board 11c, the work is done in an open space. Therefore, the residents recognize the outdoor living room 11 as the most open space in the house 2 where they spend their daily time, and as a highly public place, which contributes to a wide variety of ways of spending time centered around the living room 23.

[0088] Furthermore, the road surface 1D is located outside the outside living area 11, and further includes an entrance approach 1E that runs from the portion of the shielding wall 13 on the road surface 1D side, passing by the side of the outside living area 11, to the road surface 1D. Therefore, it is possible to pass through the entrance approach 1E while keeping an eye on the outside living area 11. Conversely, it is possible to check on people passing through the entrance approach 1E from the outside living area 11. This improves the security of the house 2.

[0089] In addition, since the small room 31 is provided with at least a seat 31a for people to sit on, the comfort of spending time in the small room 31 can be improved.

[0090] In recent years, there has been a demand for the realization of a carbon-neutral society by promoting carbon neutrality, which reduces carbon dioxide emissions to virtually zero, and for the achievement of the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals), and the construction industry is also working to build buildings using wood, which has low carbon dioxide emissions.The house 2 of this embodiment is a wooden detached house, and therefore can contribute to the realization of a carbon-neutral society by promoting carbon neutrality and the achievement of the SDGs.

[0091] [Modification] It should be noted that the embodiments to which the present invention can be applied are not limited to the above-described embodiments, and can be modified as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Modifications will be described below. The following modifications may be combined as much as possible. In each of the following modifications, elements common to the above-described embodiments will be assigned the same reference numerals, and descriptions thereof will be omitted or simplified.

[0092] [Variation 1] In the above embodiment, gate 14, which is second entrance / exit 14, is formed on first shielding wall 13a on the south side, but in this modified example, although not shown, it is formed on second shielding wall 13b on the east side. In addition, delivery box 15 and nameplate are also provided on second shielding wall 13b. In other words, the shielding wall 13 has a first shielding wall 13a that is positioned directly opposite a first location 4A on the outer wall 4 of the main house 3 where the entrance / exit 4b is formed, and a second shielding wall 13b that is positioned perpendicular to the first shielding wall 13a and the first location 4A in a plan view, and in this modified example, the gate 14, which is the second entrance / exit 14, is formed in the second shielding wall 13b.

[0093] According to this modification, even when the entrance 4b is open, it is difficult for people to see into the main house 3 from the gate 14 through the entrance 4b. Furthermore, if the gate 14a is breathable, it is possible to take in wind from outside the second screening wall 13b into the garden 12. Therefore, it is possible to ensure privacy and security in the garden 12, which is a semi-outdoor space where residents can spend their time comfortably, while also ensuring ventilation into the house through the garden 12, which is a semi-outdoor space.

[0094] [Variation 2] In the above embodiment, a window 4a (second opening 4a) is formed in the second location 4B located on the second floor of the first exterior wall 4 of the main house 3, but in this modified example, although not shown, a balcony is provided at the position of the second room 47, and no window 4a is provided. To explain in more detail, in this modified example, an exterior wall is provided at the position of the sliding door 47a provided between the first bedroom 43 and the second room 47, and an exterior wall is also provided at the position between the passage 46c of the first room 46 and the second room 47. Furthermore, one floor surrounded by these exterior walls is a balcony floor, and furthermore, handrail walls are provided on the south and east edges of the balcony floor.

[0095] According to this modification, when looking down from the balcony to the outside, garden 12 and first screening wall 13a are visible. Furthermore, because gate 14, which serves as second entrance / exit 14, is formed in first screening wall 13a, if gate door 14a is transparent, the view will also pass through to the outside of gate 14, and privacy panel 14b on first screening wall 13a will also be visible. This allows for visibility of residents spending time in garden 12 and people standing on the outside of gate 14 or passing through gate 14 when looking down from the second-floor balcony. Conversely, privacy panel 14b on first screening wall 13a can block views of the balcony from the outside. This contributes to improving the privacy and security of main house 3.

[0096] [Variation 3] In the above embodiment, the house main body 3 is formed to be approximately L-shaped when viewed from above, but in this modified example, as shown in Figures 12(a) to 12(c), it is formed to be approximately U-shaped when viewed from above, and has a recess 3c in which a part of the outer wall surface is formed to be set back toward the interior of the room when viewed from above compared to the other outer wall surfaces. A garden 12 is provided at the position of the recess 3c, and the garden 12 is shielded by a shielding wall 13. The shielding wall 13 has at least a first shielding wall positioned directly opposite a first location 4A where the entrance doorway 4b is formed. A gate 14 is formed in the first shielding wall.

[0097] The example shown in FIG. 12(a) is an example of a pattern in which the shielding wall 13 includes only the first shielding wall. In the example shown in Figure 12(b), the shielding wall 13 is formed in an approximately U-shape when viewed from above, with the left and right shielding walls (referred to as, for example, the fourth shielding wall and the fifth shielding wall) being integrally formed with the main body 3 of the house, and the central first shielding wall being integrally formed between the left and right shielding walls. 12(c), the portion of the housing main body 3 located on the right side of the recess 3c extends further south than the portion located on the left side. The shielding wall 13 is formed in a generally L-shape in plan view, with the left shielding wall being formed integrally with the left side of the housing main body 3, and the first shielding wall being formed integrally with the right side of the housing main body 3.

[0098] According to this modification, even if the house main body 3 is formed in a substantially L-shape in plan view, it is possible to obtain the same effects as a house main body 3 formed in a substantially L-shape in plan view. [Explanation of symbols]
