[0014] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, the same or corresponding parts are designated by the same reference characters and their description will not be repeated.
[0015] (Embodiment 1) The house 1 according to this embodiment will be described as one dwelling unit in an apartment building.
[0016] An apartment building has multiple independent dwelling units. An apartment building is a single building with multiple houses 1. An apartment building may be a multi-storey building (e.g., a condominium or apartment) or a single-storey building (e.g., a tenement house).
[0017] An example of the floor plan of a house 1 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 1 and 2. The indoor space of the house 1 is surrounded by, for example, exterior walls 91 located on the north and south sides and partition walls 92 located on the east and west sides. In the following description, the north-south direction is also referred to as the vertical direction, and the east-west direction is also referred to as the horizontal direction (left-right direction).
[0018] 1 is a vertically long and narrow house, and includes an entrance 10, a first room 11, a second room 12, a first private room 13, a second private room 14, a kitchen 15, a toilet 16, a bathroom 17, and a washroom 18. The layout of the house 1 is, for example, a 3LDK. The first room 11 and the second room 12 are two rooms adjacent to each other.
[0019] A first partition rail 41 shown by a dashed line is provided at the boundary between the first room 11 and the second room 12. That is, the boundary between the first room 11 and the second room 12 and the first partition rail 41 shown by a dashed line coincide with each other. The first partition rail 41 is provided, for example, on the ceiling, and is a guide member that guides the movement of the movable partition 20. The movable partition 20 will be described later. As shown in FIG. 2, when the movable partition 20 is arranged on the first partition rail 41 and the boundary between the two rooms, the first room 11 and the second room 12, is in a closed state, the first room 11 and the second room 12 are partitioned. This allows the first room 11 and the second room 12 to be used for different purposes.
[0020] The first room 11 is a public space where residents can relax, and is a living / dining room adjacent to the kitchen 15. The first room 11 is located on the side of the exterior wall 91 on the south side and the partition wall 92 on the west side. The second room 12 is a living room adjacent to the first room 11, and is specifically a Western-style room or a Japanese-style room. The second room 12 can be used for various purposes, such as a private room, a guest room, or a storage room. The second room 12 is located on the side of the exterior wall 91 on the south side and the partition wall 92 on the east side.
[0021] A storage rail 40 and a second partition rail 42, indicated by dashed lines, are provided on the ceiling of the second room 12. The storage rail 40 is provided parallel to the first partition rail 41 provided at the boundary between the first room 11 and the second room 12, and extends to a position where it intersects with the second partition rail 42. The storage rail 40 is used when the movable partition 20 is stored in the storage position 80. As shown in FIG. 1, in the storage position 80, the first partition rail 41 movably holds one end of the movable partition 20 in the width direction, and the storage rail 40 movably holds the other end of the movable partition 20 in the width direction.
[0022] The second partition rail 42 is provided so as to intersect, more specifically, to intersect at right angles with, the first partition rail 41 and the storage rail 40. The second partition rail 42 is provided near the opening side of the storage 50 described below, and extends from the first partition rail 41 to the partition wall 92. The first partition rail 41, the second partition rail 42, and the storage rail 40 guide the movable partition 20.
[0023] Next, the movable partition 20 will be described. The movable partition 20 has, for example, a rectangular shape when viewed from the front, and a plurality of movable partitions, specifically four partitions, are provided. The movable partition 20 is preferably, for example, a hanging door. The movable partition 20 has a height from the floor to the ceiling, and is preferably, for example, 2000 mm or more and 2200 mm or less. The width of the movable partition 20 is preferably, for example, 700 mm or more and 900 mm or less. In the following description, the movable partitions 20 will be described as first to fourth partition panels 20a to 20d, respectively.
[0024] The first to fourth partition panels 20a to 20d are provided so as to be displaceable between a "partition position" in which the boundary between the first room 11 and the second room 12 is closed, a "retracted position" in which the boundary is open, and a "working position" in which a semi-private space is formed inside the second room 12 from the partition position or the retracted position. The "partition position", "retracted position" and "working position" will be described in detail below.
[0025] FIG. 2 shows a state where the first to fourth partition panels 20a to 20d are in the "partition position". Referring to FIG. 2, the "partition position" is a state where the four first to fourth partition panels 20a to 20d are so-called wall doors, and the first room 11 and the second room 12 are separated. Specifically, the partition position is a state where all the four first to fourth partition panels 20a to 20d are positioned on the first partition rail 41, and the first to fourth partition panels 20a to 20d are aligned vertically in a row and extend from the outer wall 91 to the wall part on the washroom 18 side. As described above, by setting the movable partition 20 to the partition position, it is possible to use the first room 11 as a living / dining room and the second room 12 as a private room such as a Japanese-style room or a Western-style room.
[0026] In the partition position, the fourth partition panel 20d located on the washroom 18 side functions as a push door. Note that the partition position may be any position in which the first room 11 and the second room 12 are partitioned by at least three of the first to fourth partition panels 20a to 20d, and may also include a state in which the first room 11 and the second room 12 are partially open.
[0027] Fig. 1 shows a state in which the movable partition 20 is in the "retracted position". Referring to Fig. 1, the "retracted position" is a state in which the first room 11 and the second room 12 are open, and the first room 11 and the second room 12 can be used together as a living and dining room. In this case, the movable partition 20 is stored in the storage position 80. When multiple movable partitions 20 are stored in the storage position 80, one end of each of the movable partitions 20 is held by the first partition rail 41, and the other end is held by the storage rail 40, and the movable partitions 20 are arranged overlapping each other in the vertical direction.
[0028] Fig. 3 shows the movable partition 20 in the "work position". Fig. 4 shows the storage cabinet 50, with (A) showing the storage cabinet 50 with the door 51 closed and (B) showing the storage cabinet 50 with the door 51 open.
[0029] With reference to FIG. 3, the "work position" is a position in the second room 12 where the semi-private space 30 is formed by the first partition panel 20a of the movable partition 20. Specifically, the work position is a position where the first partition panel 20a faces the storage unit 50. As shown in FIG. 4(B), the semi-private space 30 is a work area for performing desk work, specifically a telework space. At least a work desk is required in the semi-private space 30, and since communication devices such as a personal computer are often required, it is preferable that, for example, an outlet, lighting, a chair, etc. are arranged. Since the semi-private space 30 requires concentrated work, it needs to be closed to some extent, but does not need to be completely closed, and it is sufficient as long as it is a space that is closed in at least two directions.
[0030] A storage cabinet 50 is provided in the second room 12. The storage cabinet 50 is provided in a part of the wall that intersects with the first partition rail 41 (boundary portion). Specifically, the storage cabinet 50 is formed in a convex portion of the wall of the second room 12, and protrudes toward the washroom 18. As shown in FIG. 4(B), a shelf board 54 that functions as a workbench is provided inside the storage cabinet 50. Therefore, it is preferable that the height of the shelf board 54 is about 700 mm. Although not shown in the figure, it is preferable that another shelf board is provided near the ceiling above the shelf board 54. It is also possible to use the shelf board 54 as a work desk with stored items placed on the shelf board.
[0031] The storage 50 has an opening and closing door 51 on the front (the second room 12 side). The opening and closing door 51 is a double door (a double door) having doors 52, 53 on the left and right. The opening and closing door 51 is eccentric, with the first door 52 being provided on the boundary side (a position away from the partition wall 92), and the second door 53 being provided on the partition wall 92 side. The width of the first door 52 is larger than the width of the second door 53, and the width of the first door 52 is preferably 700 mm or more and 900 mm or less. If it is larger than 900 mm, it may warp due to deterioration over time, and if it is smaller than 700 mm, the semi-private space 30 becomes narrow and the worker feels cramped. The height of the opening and closing door 51 is preferably the height from the floor to the ceiling, but if it is at least 1800 mm or more from the floor, it can block people's line of sight.
[0032] The first door 52 can be fixed in an open state perpendicular to the opening of the storage 50. The second door 53 can be fixed in a state aligned with the partition wall 92. These fixings are performed by positioning fixing parts (such as a French drop) provided at the lower ends of these doors 52, 53. In this way, the first door 52 functions as a side wall of the semi-private space 30.
[0033] As shown in FIG. 4(B), the first partition panel 20a in the work position faces the storage 50. Specifically, the first partition panel 20a is located behind the worker working in the semi-private space 30. Furthermore, the first partition panel 20a in the work position intersects with the opened first door 52. Specifically, the first partition panel 20a intersects at a right angle with the first door 52 fixed in an open state perpendicular to the opening of the storage 50. As a result, the storage 50 in which the workbench 54 of the semi-private space 30 is provided is surrounded by the first door 52, the first partition panel 20a, and the partition wall 92. The semi-private space 30 is formed by the first partition panel 20a located in the work position and the opening and closing door 51 in the open state. The first partition panel 20a functions as an opening and closing door of the semi-private space 30 and can be opened and closed in the left and right directions along the second partition rail 42.
[0034] The width of the opening of the storage unit 50 is set to be larger than the width of the first partition panel 20a. Therefore, as shown in Fig. 3, a gap is provided between the right end of the first partition panel 20a and the partition wall 92. In addition, it is preferable that the vertical dimension L2 of the second partition rail 42 that guides the first partition panel 20a is set to be equal to or larger than the dimension L1 from the wall portion to the opening end of the first door 52 that opens perpendicularly to the opening of the storage unit 50.
[0035] Next, a procedure for shifting the movable partition 20 to the working position, that is, a procedure for forming the semi-private space 30, will be described.
[0036] First, the door 51 of the storage unit 50, which is closed as shown in Fig. 4(A), is opened as shown in Fig. 4(B). In this case, the first door 52 of the door 51 is opened at a right angle to the opening of the storage unit 50, the second door 53 is aligned with the partition wall 92, and these doors 52, 53 are fixed by the positioning fixing part so that they do not close.
[0037] Next, when the movable partition 20 is in the storage position 80 in FIG. 1, the first partition panel 20a is pulled out in parallel from the storage position 80 along the first partition rail 41 and the storage rail 40. When both ends of the first partition panel 20a reach the second partition rail 42, the first partition panel 20a becomes slidable toward the storage cabinet 50 (to the right) along the second partition rail 42. As shown in FIG. 3, the first partition panel 20a is disposed in a position facing the storage cabinet 50. The remaining second to fourth partition panels 20b to 20d may remain disposed in the storage position 80.
[0038] In this way, by placing the first partition panel 20a in the working position, a closed semi-private space 30 can be provided. Also, as shown by the arrow in Fig. 4(B), the first partition panel 20a is not fixed and is left slidable in the left and right directions. In this way, the first partition panel 20a can be used as a sliding door for the semi-private space 30.
[0039] In the above procedure, the door 51 of the storage 50 is opened first, but the door 51 may be opened after the first partition panel 20a faces the storage 50. Also, instead of displacing the storage 50 from the retracted position shown in Fig. 1 to the working position, the storage 50 may be displaced from the partition position shown in Fig. 2 to the working position.
[0040] In this way, in the house 1 of this embodiment, the movable partition 20 used to partition the first room 11 and the second room 12 can be used to form the semi-private space 30. Furthermore, the shelf 54 of the storage unit 50 storing the stored items can be used as a work desk. This makes it possible to secure an independent semi-private space 30 by using the movable partition 20 and the storage unit 50, which are existing equipment. In addition, since the semi-private space 30 can be made into a closed space or a semi-closed space, it is ideal as a space for concentrated work. Furthermore, since the semi-private space 30 can be formed by simply providing the second partition rail 42 for guiding the movable partition 20 in addition to the existing equipment, it is less costly than introducing new equipment.
[0041] (Embodiment 2) Fig. 5 is a floor plan showing a part of a house 1A according to a second embodiment of the present invention. A semi-private space 30A will be described with reference to Fig. 5. Portions similar to those in the above-described embodiment will be denoted by the same reference characters and description thereof will not be repeated.
[0042] In the house 1A according to this embodiment, in addition to the semi-private space 30 of the first embodiment, a semi-private space 30A is provided along the outer wall 91 located on the south side. The two second partition panels 20b and the third partition panels 20c that divide the semi-private space 30A are guided by the third partition rail 43. The third partition rail 43 is perpendicular to the first partition rail 41 and is provided parallel to the second partition rail 42. The third partition rail 43 extends from the first partition rail 41 to the boundary wall 92. The third partition rail 43 is located on the outer wall 91 side located on the south side. Specifically, it is preferable that the third partition rail 43 is separated from the outer wall 91 by the width dimension of the fourth partition panel 20d. As a result, the third partition panel 20c and the fourth partition panel 20d intersect at a right angle.
[0043] The semi-private space 30A is formed by being surrounded on three sides by the fourth partition panel 20d located on the first partition rail 41, the second and third partition panels 20b and 20c located on the third partition rail 43, and the wall of the first room 11. In this case, the second partition panel 20b and the fourth partition panel 20d may be fixed by a positioning fixing part (for example, a French drop) provided at the lower end thereof. The semi-private space 30A is a semi-open space with an open rear. It is preferable to place a work desk and a chair in the semi-private space 30A. In this case, it is preferable to place the work desk facing the fourth partition panel 20d. The semi-private space 30 of the first embodiment and the semi-private space 30A of the present embodiment are provided diagonally across the second room 12.
[0044] In the house 1A of the present embodiment, in addition to the semi-private space 30 of the first embodiment, another semi-private space 30A can be formed in the second room 12. Therefore, a space in which two family members can telework in one room can be secured. In addition, since the two semi-private spaces 30, 30A are provided diagonally in the second room 12, they are independent spaces.
[0045] (Embodiment 3) Fig. 6 is a floor plan showing a part of a house 1B according to a third embodiment of the present invention. Semi-private spaces 30B and 30C will be described with reference to Fig. 6. Portions similar to those in the above-described embodiments will be given the same reference numerals and description thereof will not be repeated.
[0046] In addition to the semi-private space 30 of the first embodiment, the house 1B according to the present embodiment has semi-private spaces 30B and 30C provided along an exterior wall 91 located on the south side. The second partition panel 20b that separates the semi-private spaces 30B and 30C is guided by the third partition rail 43 described in the second embodiment. Furthermore, the third and fourth partition panels 20c and 20d are guided by the first partition rail 41. The semi-private space 30B is a semi-open space that is open to the rear, and the semi-private space 30C is a semi-open space that is open to the rear and right.
[0047] In this embodiment, in addition to the semi-private space 30 of embodiment 1, two more semi-private spaces 30B, 30C can be formed, thereby providing space in one room where a family of three can work remotely.
[0048] Although the house 1 according to the present embodiment is one dwelling unit in an apartment building, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the above-described floor plan can also be applied to a detached house.
[0049] In addition, in the above embodiment, the guide members have been described as the first to third partition rails 41, 42, 43 provided on the ceiling, but any member that can at least guide the movable partition 20 may be provided, for example, on a floor or a vertical wall, or may be something other than a rail.
[0050] In addition, the second and third partition rails 42, 43 are provided perpendicular to the first partition rail 41 that separates the first room 11 and the second room 12, but the arrangement of the second and third partition rails is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, the second and third partition rails 42, 43 may be provided parallel to the first partition rail 41 or at an angle to it.
[0051] In the above embodiment, the semi-private spaces 30, 30A-30C are all provided in the second room 12, but they may be provided in the first room 11. For example, in the house 1B of the third embodiment, the third partition rail 43 may extend toward the first room 11, and the fourth partition panel 20d may be provided symmetrically to the third partition panel 20c in that portion. In this case, a semi-private space surrounded on three sides by the third and fourth partition panels 20c, 20d and the exterior wall 91 is formed in the first room 11.
[0052] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, it is assumed that the semi-private space 30 is provided in the storage facility 50, but it is also possible to provide only the semi-private space 30A of embodiment 2 and the semi-private spaces 30B and 30C of embodiment 3 without providing the semi-private space 30.
[0053] Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above with reference to the drawings, the present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiment. Various modifications and variations can be made to the illustrated embodiment within the same scope as the present invention or within an equivalent scope. [Explanation of symbols]
