For this reason, development of a new technology that can provide a room in a shared space without impairing the designability of the shared space is desired.

[0005] One aspect of the present disclosure aims to enhance the designability when providing a room in a shared space.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] To solve the aforementioned problems, a spatial partitioning system according to one aspect of the present disclosure comprises: a raised section installed on the floor surface of a common space and forming a raised surface higher than the floor surface; and partitioning materials installed on the floor surface and the raised surface and forming a partitioned room in which a part of the common space is partitioned, wherein the partitioned room includes a first floor surface flush with the floor surface and a second floor surface flush with the raised surface, and a step is formed at the boundary between the first floor surface and the second floor surface. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] According to one aspect of this disclosure, the aesthetic appeal of rooms when they are set up in a common space can be enhanced. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0008] [Figure 1] This is a plan view showing an example of a common space in which the spatial partitioning system according to this embodiment is installed. [Figure 2] This is a front view showing the external appearance of the spatial compartmentalization system. [Figure 3] This is a side view showing the external appearance of the spatial compartmentalization system. [Figure 4] This is a plan view showing a partitioned room formed inside the aforementioned spatial partitioning system. [Figure 5] This is a schematic diagram of the aforementioned compartment as viewed from the first entrance side. [Figure 6] This is a schematic diagram of the aforementioned compartment as viewed from the second entrance side. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0009] An embodiment of this disclosure will be described below. Note that the following description is an example of a spatial compartmentalization system related to this disclosure, and the technical scope of this disclosure is not limited to the illustrated example.

[0010] [Overview of the spatial partitioning system] Figure 1 is a plan view showing an example of a common space S in which the spatial partitioning system 1 according to this embodiment is installed. In the following description, the floor surface F of the common space S is defined as the XY plane, and the axis aligned vertically upward with respect to the XY plane is defined as the Z axis. The X and Y axes define the direction extending along the floor surface F. The Z axis defines the direction extending along the height direction of the common space S.

[0011] As shown in Figure 1, the shared space S is divided into multiple areas, each used for a different purpose. The spatial partitioning system 1 is installed in a part of this shared space S to create partitioned rooms (rooms) R, such as conference rooms.

[0012] In this embodiment, the spatial partitioning system 1 is installed between a first area (e.g., a cafeteria area) E1 and a second area (e.g., an office area) E2, which have different purposes of use. A first partition material P1 and a second partition material P2 are connected to the side wall of the spatial partitioning system 1, separating the first area E1 and the second area E2. The first partition material P1 is provided with an openable and closable door for moving between the first area E1 and the second area E2.

[0013] The spatial partitioning system 1, along with the first partition member P1 and the second partition member P2, separates the first area E1 and the second area E2. The spatial partitioning system 1 has its negative X-axis side facing the first area E1 with respect to the first partition member P1 and the second partition member P2, and its positive X-axis side facing the second area E2 with respect to the first partition member P1 and the second partition member P2.

[0014] In this way, by installing the spatial partitioning system 1 between the first area E1 and the second area E2, which have different purposes of use, the spatial partitioning system 1 can be used to divide the shared space S.

[0015] [Configuration of the spatial partitioning system] Next, a configuration example of the space partitioning system 1 will be described. FIG. 2 is a front view showing the appearance of the space partitioning system 1 shown in FIG. 1. FIG. 3 is a side view showing the appearance of the space partitioning system 1 shown in FIG. 1. FIG. 4 is a plan view showing the partition room R formed inside the space partitioning system 1 shown in FIG. 1.

[0016] As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the space partitioning system 1 has a first entrance / exit 1A on the front side (the positive Y-axis side) through which the shared space S and the partition room R can communicate with each other. Also, the space partitioning system 1 has a second entrance / exit 1B on the side surface facing the first area E1 (the negative X-axis side) through which the shared space S and the partition room R can communicate with each other. In the present embodiment, slide glass doors are provided at the first entrance / exit 1A and the second entrance / exit 1B, thereby giving a visual sense of openness.

[0017] The space partitioning system 1 includes a raised portion 2 installed on the floor surface F1 of the shared space S and forming a raised surface F2 higher than the floor surface F1, and a partitioning material 3 installed on the floor surface F1 and the raised surface F2 and forming a partition room R in which a part of the shared space S is partitioned.

[0018] The raised portion 2 is a base installed on the floor surface F1. The upper surface (the surface on the positive Z-axis side) of the raised portion 2 is a raised surface F2 higher than the floor surface F1. The floor surface F1 and the raised surface F2 are parallel to each other. In the present embodiment, the raised surface F2 is about 30 cm to 40 cm higher than the floor surface F1. A staircase 21 connecting the floor surface F1 and the raised surface F2 is provided on the raised portion 2. The partitioning material 3 is installed across the floor surface F1 and the raised surface F2 and forms the wall surface (inner wall) and ceiling of the partition room R.

[0019] In this embodiment, the small upward surface F2 is arranged along the periphery of the partitioned room R so as to surround the periphery except for the first entrance 1A. Therefore, the space partitioning system 1 has an appearance structure in which the partitioned room R is installed in the small upward portion 2, and can give a new (symbolic) impression to the people in the shared space S that has never existed before. Therefore, the design property when providing the partitioned room R in the shared space S can be enhanced.

[0020] The partitioning material 3 includes a side wall portion 31 that defines the wall surface of the partitioned room R, and a roof portion 32 that is provided above the side wall portion 31 and defines the ceiling of the partitioned room R. The roof portion 32 may form an eaves 321 that extends outward from the side wall portion 31. Thereby, the space partitioning system 1 has an appearance structure with an eaves ceiling, and the design property can be further enhanced.

[0021] In addition, the roof portion 32 may be composed of a suspended ceiling suspended by a hanging member such as a wire from the floor ceiling of the shared space S. In this case, an opening (a recess recessed upward) corresponding to the outer shape of the roof portion 32 may be provided in the floor ceiling located above (in the positive Z-axis direction) of the roof portion 32, and the hanging member may be disposed through this opening. Thereby, since a wide space is formed above the space partitioning system 1, it is difficult to give a sense of oppression to the people in the shared space S, and a visual sense of openness can be given.

[0022] Alternatively, the roof portion 32 may be composed of a lowered ceiling in which a portion of the floor ceiling located above (in the positive Z-axis direction) of the space partitioning system 1 is lowered.

[0023] The spatial partitioning system 1 includes outdoor furniture 4 installed outside the partitioned room R, and the outdoor furniture 4 may be installed on the outer perimeter of the partitioned room R. In this embodiment, the outdoor furniture 4 includes a bench 41 installed near the first entrance 1A on the front side of the spatial partitioning system 1, and a plurality of round tables 42 installed along the bench 41. The outdoor furniture 4 also includes a plurality of round tables 42 installed on the rear side opposite to the front side of the spatial partitioning system 1. In this way, by installing outdoor furniture 4 such as benches on the outer perimeter of the partitioned room R (side wall portion 31), the space on the outer perimeter of the partitioned room R can be effectively utilized.

[0024] Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of the interior of compartment R shown in Figure 4, viewed from the first entrance 1A side. Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of the interior of compartment R shown in Figure 4, viewed from the second entrance 1B side.

[0025] As shown in Figures 4 to 6, the compartment R is rectangular (approximately square) in plan view, and a monitor M is installed on the left wall (positive X-axis side) as viewed from the first entrance 1A. A second entrance 1B is provided on the right wall (negative X-axis side) as viewed from the first entrance 1A. A window 1C is provided on the front wall (negative Y-axis side) as viewed from the first entrance 1A. Furthermore, multiple lights 1D are provided on the ceiling of the compartment R.

[0026] Furthermore, the shape of compartment R in a plan view is not limited to a rectangle and can be changed as appropriate depending on the intended use of compartment R.

[0027] The partitioned room R has a first floor surface f1 and a second floor surface f2 that is higher than the first floor surface f1. The first floor surface f1 is flush with the floor surface F1, and the second floor surface f2 is flush with the raised surface F2. A step 6 is formed at the boundary between the first floor surface f1 and the second floor surface f2. In this embodiment, the height of the step 6 is about 30 cm to 40 cm, which is the same value as the height difference between the floor surface F1 and the raised surface F2.

[0028] Furthermore, a first entrance 1A is provided facing the first floor surface f1, and a second entrance 1B is provided facing the second floor surface f2. Both the first entrance 1A and the second entrance 1B have a barrier-free structure with no steps and a flush surface. Therefore, it is possible to easily enter and exit the partitioned room R from the first entrance 1A and the second entrance 1B.

[0029] In this embodiment, the second floor surface f2 is provided in an L-shape in plan view and is arranged along the wall surface where the second entrance 1B is provided and the wall surface where the window 1C is provided. Therefore, an L-shaped step 6 is formed at the boundary between the first surface f1 and the second floor surface f2. Stairs 7 are provided at both ends of the second floor surface f2, connecting the first floor surface f1 and the second floor surface f2.

[0030] Furthermore, the second floor surface f2 is not limited to an L-shape in plan view. The second floor surface f2 may also have a shape that includes a U-shaped step portion 6 that opens towards the monitor M side in plan view, or a shape that includes an arc-shaped step portion 6 that opens towards the monitor M side in plan view, etc.

[0031] The spatial partitioning system 1 includes interior furniture 5 installed inside the partitioned room R, and each of the first floor surface f1 and the second floor surface f2 may be capable of installing the interior furniture 5. This allows various types of interior furniture 5 to be installed on each of the first floor surface f1 and the second floor surface f2, depending on the intended use of the partitioned room R.

[0032] The interior furniture 5 includes a first piece of furniture 51 installed on the first floor surface f1 and a second piece of furniture 52 installed on the second floor surface f2. Each of the first piece of furniture 51 and the second piece of furniture 52 is installed so that the user is facing the monitor M.

[0033] The first furniture 51 is installed between the monitor M and the second furniture 52. Even when the indoor furniture 5 is installed in this way, in the partitioned room R, the second floor surface f2 is higher than the first floor surface f1 by the amount of the step 6, so that when a person using the second furniture 52 looks at the monitor M, their view is less likely to be obstructed by a person using the first furniture 51.

[0034] In this embodiment, the first furniture unit 51 includes a sofa 511 positioned parallel to the monitor M, and a plurality of round tables 512 positioned in front of the sofa 511, that is, between the monitor M and the sofa 511. The first furniture unit 51 also includes a tabletop 513 connected to the upper back of the sofa 511 and positioned to protrude to the rear, and a plurality of stools 514 positioned along the tabletop 513.

[0035] The second piece of furniture 52 includes an L-shaped table 421 and several chairs 422 arranged along the table 421. The L-shaped table 421 is installed along the stepped section 6 and is positioned to surround a portion of the sofa 511.

[0036] Thus, the interior furniture 5 may be installed along the stepped section 6. By arranging the interior furniture 5 along the stepped section 6, the aesthetic design of the partitioned room R can be enhanced.

[0037] Furthermore, the interior furniture 5 may be arranged such that the second furniture 52 surrounds a portion of the perimeter of the first furniture 51 in a plan view. By arranging the second furniture 52 to surround a portion of the perimeter of the first furniture 51, the aesthetic design of the partitioned room R can be enhanced. In addition, since the second floor surface f2 is higher than the first floor surface f1 in the partitioned room R, it becomes easier for people using the second furniture 52 to view the monitor M over the first furniture 51.

[0038] [Effects and benefits of spatial compartmentalization systems] As described above, the spatial partitioning system 1 according to this embodiment includes a raised section 2 installed on the floor surface F1 of the common space S and forming a raised surface F2 that is higher than the floor surface F1, and partitioning material 3 installed on the floor surface F1 and the raised surface F2 and forming a partitioned room R in which a part of the common space S is partitioned. The partitioned room R includes a first floor surface f1 that is flush with the floor surface F1 and a second floor surface f2 that is flush with the raised surface F2, and a step portion 6 is formed at the boundary between the first floor surface f1 and the second floor surface f2.

[0039] In the spatial partitioning system 1, the exterior structure features a partitioned room R installed on a raised platform 2, which can give those in the common space S a new and unprecedented impression (a symbolic impression). Therefore, it is possible to enhance the design aesthetics when installing a partitioned room R in the common space S.

[0040] Furthermore, according to the spatial partitioning system 1, the first floor surface f1 of partitioned room R is flush with the floor surface F1, and the second floor surface f2 of partitioned room R is flush with the raised platform surface F2, making it easy to enter and exit partitioned room R.
