Description

[Technical field]

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

[0002] A building has rooms that require ventilation, such as a bathroom and a kitchen, and a ventilation unit that ventilates the rooms. Patent Document 1 discloses a bathroom with a sloped ceiling. The ventilation unit has a ventilation fan and a duct connected to the ventilation fan. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 7-32114 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] It is difficult to install a ventilation fan on a sloped ceiling. For this reason, it is possible to change a part of the sloped ceiling to a horizontally extending ceiling and install a ventilation fan on the horizontally extending ceiling. However, in this case, the design of the ceiling is lost. It is also possible to install the ventilation fan on the side wall of the room that needs ventilation. However, in this case, a protrusion due to the space for duct placement may occur in the room opposite the room that needs ventilation from the side wall. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] (1) A building that solves the above problem comprises a first room having a first sloped ceiling and a ventilation unit for ventilating the first room, the ventilation unit being a building having a ventilation fan and a duct connected to the ventilation fan, and further comprising a second room having a second sloped ceiling and adjacent to the first room, the first sloped ceiling and the second sloped ceiling are each sloped so that their height decreases from one side to the other in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the first room and the second room are arranged, the slope of the second sloped ceiling is smaller than the slope of the first sloped ceiling, the first sloped ceiling and the second sloped ceiling are connected by a connecting wall, a ceiling space is provided between the roof covering the second room and the second sloped ceiling, the ventilation fan is attached to the connecting wall, and the duct is arranged in the ceiling space.

[0006] With this configuration, the ventilation fan can be installed without making part of the ceiling of the first room horizontal. Also, since the duct is placed in the space above the ceiling of the second room, it is possible to avoid the creation of a protrusion due to the space for the duct. Therefore, the ventilation unit can be installed without compromising the design.

[0007] (2) In the building described in (1) above, the lower end of the second sloped ceiling is located at the same height as the lower end of the first sloped ceiling. With this configuration, it is possible to prevent the height of the second sloped ceiling from becoming lower, as would occur if the bottom end of the second sloped ceiling were located lower than the bottom end of the first sloped ceiling, and it is also possible to prevent the space above the ceiling from becoming narrower, as would occur if the bottom end of the second sloped ceiling were located higher than the bottom end of the first sloped ceiling.

[0008] (3) In the building described in (1) or (2) above, there is provided a bathroom as the first room, a dressing room as the second room, a washroom adjacent to the dressing room, and a laundry room adjacent to the washroom, and the laundry room is located on the opposite side of the dressing room, across the washroom, in the direction in which the dressing room and the washroom are aligned.

[0009] According to this configuration, the space for undressing, the space for washing, and the space for doing laundry are separated. Also, the space for doing housework, including the laundry room, and the space for taking a bath, including the bathroom and the undressing room, are separated by the washroom. This reduces the sense of everyday life in the bathing space, making it easier to relax while taking a bath.

[0010] (4) The building described in (3) above further includes a kitchen adjacent to the laundry room, and the kitchen is located on the opposite side of the laundry room from the washroom in the direction in which the washroom and the laundry room are lined up. With this configuration, the laundry room and the kitchen are in a continuous space, which makes it easy to carry out housework.

[0011] (5) In the building described in (4) above, a living room adjacent to the kitchen and a skip-floor located at a higher level than the floor level of the living room are provided, and a storage space connected to the kitchen is provided under the skip-floor, and the floor level of the kitchen is located at a lower level than the floor level of the living room. With this configuration, the height from the kitchen floor to the ceiling of the storage space can be increased, thereby increasing the storage space.

[0012] (6) In the building described in (5) above, the bathroom, the dressing room, the washroom, the laundry room, the kitchen, and the living room are located on the first floor and are provided with a staircase connecting the floor of the living room to the floor of the second floor, a portion of the laundry room is located under the staircase, and the floor of the laundry room is located at a lower level than the floor of the living room. With this configuration, the height from the floor of the laundry room to the bottom of the stairs can be increased, thereby increasing the space under the stairs. Effect of the Invention

[0013] According to the building of the present invention, a ventilation unit can be installed without compromising the design. [Brief description of the drawings]
