[Figure 6] FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of a vertical cross section of the house 100 taken along line BB' in FIGS. 1 to 4, viewed from the north. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0020] A house 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below. The following embodiment is merely one example of the present invention, and it goes without saying that the embodiment can be modified as appropriate without departing from the gist of the present invention.

[0021] Each figure shows arrows X, Y, and Z that are perpendicular to each other. Arrow X indicates north-south. Arrow Y indicates east-west. Arrow Z indicates the vertical direction. In Figure 1, the right side of the paper is east, the direction into the paper is north, and the top of the paper is vertically upward.

[0022] [Overall structure of House 100] 1 to 5, a house 100 is built on a site 300 facing from the south side to a road 200 extending from east to west, and has one basement floor and two aboveground floors. Hereinafter, the basement floor will also be simply referred to as the basement.

[0023] [Basement] 1, the basement is used as a space for guests and roughly comprises a driveway 11, a parking space 12, entrances 13 and 14, a shoe closet (hereinafter also referred to as "SC") 15, an entrance living room (hereinafter also referred to as "EL") 16, a hall 17, a bedroom (hereinafter also referred to as "BR") 18, and a theater room 20. The house 100 also comprises dry areas 19 and 121. The dry areas (English name: areaways) 19 and 121 are spaces dug down so as to be adjacent to the outside of the exterior wall of the basement.

[0024] The road 11 is passable by automobiles and has entrances 111, 112, slopes 113, 114, and a flat road 115. The entrances 111, 112 face the road 200 near the northwest corner and the northeast corner of the house 100. In other words, the entrances 111, 112 are openings facing the road 200. The entrances 111, 112 are separated on the east and west sides by the front door 14. The slopes 113, 114 extend south from the entrances 111, 112 to the basement. The flat road 115 extends linearly east-west between the southern ends of the slopes 113, 114 in the basement.

[0025] The parking space 12 is connected to the flat road 115 from the south side near the western end, and has a parking capacity of about four cars. A dry area 121 with trees (see also FIG. 2) is provided adjacent to the south of the parking space 12. Basically, no structures (ceiling, floor, eaves, etc.) of the building 100 are provided vertically above the dry area 121. However, structures of the building 100 are permitted to protrude vertically above the dry area 121 within a range that satisfies the condition that the sky above can be sufficiently seen from the dry area 121. This point also applies to the dry area 19 described below. Hereinafter, the space directly above the dry area 121 is also referred to as the open-ceiling space SW1 (see FIG. 3, etc.).

[0026] Entrances 13 and 14 are examples of a first entrance and a second entrance. Entrances 13 and 14 face one side and the other side, respectively, in the width direction of the road 11. The width direction is the north-south direction. One side in the width direction is the south side, and the other side is the north side. Entrance 13 is mainly used for guests, and is much larger than entrance 14. This allows a large number of guests to move smoothly into the basement, and further allows them to move from entrance 13 to each room in the basement via hall 17. Entrance 14 is separated from the outside by an exterior wall, and is connected to flat road 115 via a sliding door. Entrance 14 is used by guests and residents, and has a staircase 141 to the first floor.

[0027] SC15 is adjacent to the entrance 13 on the south side via a partition wall, and is connected to the entrance 13 via a hinged door. A passageway 151 extends east to west from SC15 to the parking space 12. The length of the passageway 151 is shorter than the length of the path from the parking space 12 to SC15 via the entrance 13. The passageway 151 is separated from the entrance 13 and theater room 20 by a partition wall, and is connected to the parking space 12 via a hinged door at the west end.

[0028] EL16 is an example of a first living room, and is adjacent to the east side of the entrance 13 and the south side of the flat road 115. EL16 is connected to the entrance 13 via a sliding door. EL16 is separated from the flat road 115 by a partition wall and a window. A sofa and a table are installed in EL16 so that residents and guests (hereinafter also referred to as "guests, etc.") can gather together. Guests, etc. can move between the entrance 13 and EL16 with their shoes on. This allows some guests to wait or gather together in EL16 until the entrance 13 or SC15 becomes available when there are many guests and the entrance 13 or SC15 is crowded.

[0029] Hall 17 is an example of a corridor, and includes a corridor that extends south from the southwest corner of EL16 and abuts against the outer wall of house 100. Hall 17 is connected to SC15 via a hinged door near the northwest corner of hall 17. Hall 17 is separated from theater room 20 by a partition wall. A staircase 175 to the first floor extends from a position near the north of hall 17 along this partition wall.

[0030] Bedroom 18 is an example of a first living room, facing the east side near the south end of hall 17 and connected to hall 17 via a sliding door. Bedroom 18 is equipped with a bed.

[0031] The dry area 19 is located to the south of the EL 16 through a window 161 and an exterior wall, to the east of the hall 17 through a window 176 and an exterior wall, and to the north of the bedroom 18 through a window and an exterior wall. Hereinafter, the indoor space including the EL 16, the hall 17, and the BR 18 will be referred to as the first space. Trees are also planted in the dry area 19 (see also Figure 2). These trees can be seen not only from the first space on the same floor as the dry area 19, but also from the second and third spaces (described in detail later) on the floor above. The space directly above the dry area 19 is the open-ceiling space SW2. The open-ceiling space SW2 has the same structure as the open-ceiling space SW1, and has an upward opening that allows a good view of the sky (see Figures 3 and 4).

[0032] A narrow corridor 171 extends westward from near the southern end of the hall 17. A toilet 172 faces the corridor 171 from the south side. A dressing room 173 faces the corridor 171 from the west side, and a bathroom 174 is adjacent to the dressing room 173 on the west side via a sliding door. In this way, in addition to the bedroom 18 mentioned above, the basement has the toilet 172, dressing room 173, and bathroom 174 prepared for guests, making it easy for guests to stay in the house 100.

[0033] Theater room 20 is another example of a first living room, and faces corridor 171 from the north side via a sliding door. Theater room 20 is partitioned from other spaces in the basement by partition walls on the east, south, and north sides, and a window 201 (an example of a window) on the west side. Window 201 is provided between the space within theater room 20 and parking space 12, and extends north and south in a wide area between the partition walls on the south and north sides. Theater room 20 is equipped with a sofa, a table, a disc player, a projector, a screen, etc.

[0034] Since the theater room 20 is located away from the exterior wall of the house 100, sound is unlikely to leak outside the house 100. Therefore, guests can fully enjoy movies played by a disk player. The theater room 20 faces the parking space 12 on the east side through a window 201. Therefore, guests can enjoy watching cars in the parking space 12 from the window 201. Since there is a dry area 121 on the south side of the parking space 12, the theater room 20 is easily ventilated as shown by the arrow AR6 in FIG. 6. The arrow AR6 indicates the air flow from the dry area 121 toward the parking space 12 and the air flow from the parking space 12 to the theater room 20 through the window 210.

[0035] [1st floor] 2, the first floor is used as a public space open to visitors and roughly comprises a hall 21, a living / dining / kitchen (hereinafter also referred to as "LDK") 22, an outdoor dining (hereinafter also referred to as "OD") 23, an outdoor living (hereinafter also referred to as "OL") 24, courts 25 and 26, and a hall 27. Each room on the first floor is connected to the entrance 14 via at least a staircase 141.

[0036] The hall 21 is located almost directly above the entrance 14 (see FIG. 1). The hall 21 is provided with a staircase 141 leading from the basement (see FIG. 1) and a staircase 211 leading to the second floor (see FIG. 3).

[0037] The living / dining / kitchen area 22 is an example of a second living room, and is located in the center of the flat road 115 (see FIG. 1) on the east and west sides, or directly above the entrance 13. The living / dining / kitchen area 22 is located to the south of the hall 21 via a sliding door or a partition wall, and is partitioned on the west and east sides by windows. The living / dining / kitchen area 222 is equipped with a kitchen set 221 in the northwest part, a dining set 222 in the northeast part, and a living set 223 in the southern part. In the vertical direction Z, an open-ceiling space SW6 (see FIG. 3) is formed between the living part of the living / dining / kitchen area 22 and the ceiling of the second floor. In other words, there is no ceiling on the first floor or a floor on the second floor in the open-ceiling space SW6.

[0038] OD23 is an example of a second living room, and is located directly above the western end of the flat road 115 (see FIG. 1). OD23 is adjacent to the west side of the kitchen part of the living / dining / kitchen room 22 through a window. OD23 is partitioned on the west side by an exterior wall, and on the north side by a perforated wall 233. The perforated wall 233 has a number of through holes for ventilation. OD23 is equipped with a kitchen set 231 and a dining set 232.

[0039] OL24 is an example of a second living room, and is located directly above the eastern end of the flat road 115 (see FIG. 1). OL24 is adjacent to the eastern side of the dining area of ​​LDK22 through a window. OL24 is partitioned on the eastern side by an exterior wall, and on the northern side by a perforated wall 242 with many through holes. OL24 is equipped with a living set 241.

[0040] The courts 25 and 26 are surrounded by the exterior walls and windows of the building 100 and are courtyards with trees planted. The spaces directly above the courts 25 and 26 are open atriums SW3 and SW4 (see Figs. 3 and 4). The open atrium spaces SW3 and SW4, like the open atrium space SW1, have upward openings that provide a good view of the sky.

[0041] In detail, court 25 is located directly above the northern part of parking space 12 (see Figure 1), and is located via a window to the west of the living area of ​​living / dining / kitchen area 22. Court 25 is located to the south of door / dining / kitchen area 23, and north of bathroom 29 and dressing room 30. The trees in court 25 can be seen from living / dining / kitchen area 22, door / dining / kitchen area 23, bathroom 29, and dressing room 30 on the first floor, as well as sanitary space 35 and balconies 351, 352 on the second floor.

[0042] The court 26 is located almost directly above the EL 16 and adjacent to the south of the OL 24. The court 26 is located adjacent to the east of the living area of ​​the LDK 22 through a window. In plan view, the court 26 is located adjacent to the north of the dry area 19 in the basement. There is no structure between the court 26 and the dry area 19 that completely blocks ventilation and sunlight in the entire range from the first floor above ground to the top floor. That is, the open-ceiling space SW4 is continuous with the open-ceiling space SW2 on the north side (i.e., horizontally) of the open-ceiling space SW2. The trees planted in the court 26 can be seen from the second space. The second space is a space that brings together the LDK 22, the OL 24, the hall 27, and the library 28. The trees planted in the court 26 can be seen not only from the second space, but also from a part of the first space and the third space. The third space can also be seen from the hall 34, BR 38 and balcony 331 on the second floor (see FIG. 3).

[0043] The hall 27 is located approximately directly above the hall 17 and the theater room 20 (see FIG. 1). The hall 27 is located adjacent to the south of the living / dining / kitchen area 22 through a sliding door or the like. The hall 27 is located adjacent to the west of the dry area 19 in a plan view through a window 275. The hall 27 is provided with a staircase 175 from the basement (see FIG. 1) and a staircase 271 to the second floor (see FIG. 3). In the vertical direction Z, an open-ceiling space SW5 (see FIGS. 3 and 4) is formed between the staircase 271 of the hall 27 and its surroundings and the ceiling of the staircase room 39 (see FIG. 4). In other words, the ceiling of the second floor and the floor of the staircase room 39 are not present in the open-ceiling space SW5.

[0044] In FIG. 2, the library 28 faces the southeast corner of the hall 27 from the east side. The library 28 is partitioned by a window on the south side and is adjacent to the south side of the dry area 19 in a plan view. The dressing room 30 faces the southwest corner of the hall 27 from the west side, and the bathroom 29 is adjacent to the west side of the dressing room 30. The bathroom 29 and the dressing room 30 are located adjacent to the south of the court 25 through a window and to the north of the dry area 121 through a window in a plan view. A toilet 272 and a Japanese-style room 273 are also located around the hall 27. The trees planted on the court 25 and the dry area 121 can be seen from the bathroom 29, the dressing room 30, and the Japanese-style room 273.

[0045] The living / dining / kitchen area 22, the outdoor dining area 23, and the office room 24 described above make it possible to entertain a large number of guests. In addition, by providing courts 25 and 26 in two locations on the west and east sides of the first floor, guests can enjoy meals and socializing surrounded by greenery in most areas of the first floor (especially the living / dining / kitchen area 22, the outdoor dining area 23, and the office room 24).

[0046] [2nd Floor] In Figure 3, the second floor is used as a private space for the residents and roughly comprises a hall 31, a walk-in closet (hereinafter also referred to as "WIC") 32, a master bedroom (hereinafter also referred to as "MBR") 33, a hall 34, a sanitary space 35, BR 36, a toilet 37, and BR 38.

[0047] Hall 31 and WIC 32 are located almost directly above hall 21 (see FIG. 2) on the first floor. Hall 31 is provided with a staircase 211 leading from the first floor (see FIG. 2). WIC 32 is adjacent to the south side of hall 31 via a sliding door and a partition wall. WIC 32 is equipped with storage furniture for the residents' personal items (clothing, accessories, etc.).

[0048] MBR33 is located approximately directly above the dining area of ​​LDK22 (see Figure 2) on the first floor. MBR33 is adjacent to the south side of WIC32 via a partition wall and a sliding door. Two beds etc. are installed in MBR33. A balcony 331 is adjacent to the east side of MBR33 via a window. Balcony 331 is located directly above OL24 (see Figure 2) on the first floor, and is located to the north of court 26 (i.e., the atrium SW5) in a plan view. Court 26 and the trees planted in dry area 19 can be seen from MBR33 and balcony 331.

[0049] The hall 34 has a first portion 341, a second portion 342, and a third portion 343. In a plan view, the first portion 341 extends from the southwest corner of the MBR 33 toward the south along the west side of the atrium SW6 and SW5. The second portion 342 extends from the southern end of the first portion 341 toward the east along the atrium SW5. The third portion 343 extends from the eastern end of the second portion 342 toward the south and abuts against the outer wall of the house 100. In the hall 34, a staircase 271 from the first floor (see FIG. 2) and a staircase 344 to the third floor (see FIG. 4) are provided along the atrium SW5.

[0050] The sanitary space 35 is a space for maintaining hygiene, including a sink, a toilet, and a bathroom, and is adjacent to the MBR 33 and the first section 341 on the west side via a partition wall or a sliding door. Two balconies 351, 352 are adjacent to the west side of the sanitary space 35. The balcony 351 is located directly above the OD 23 (see FIG. 2) on the first floor. The balcony 352 is located approximately directly above the bathroom 29 and the dressing room 30 (see FIG. 2) on the first floor, and is located north of the dry area 121. The balconies 351, 352 are located respectively to the north and south of the court 25 (i.e., the atrium SW3) in a plan view. The trees planted on the court 25 can be seen from the balconies 351, 352, and the trees planted in the dry area 121 can be seen from the balcony 352.

[0051] BR 36 is adjacent to the south side of the sanitary space 35 via a partition wall, and faces the second section 342 via a sliding door. The toilet 37 and BR 38 are located on the west and east sides of the third section 343, respectively, via separate partition walls. BR 38 is located adjacent to the south of the dry area 19 (i.e., the atrium SW4) in a plan view. Beds and the like are installed in BRs 36 and 38.

[0052] [rooftop] In Fig. 4, a stairwell 39 and a sky balcony 40 are provided on the roof. The stairwell 39 is a space located above a first portion 341, partitioned into four directions by exterior walls, and has a stairwell 344 leading from the second floor. The sky balcony 40 is adjacent to the north side of the stairwell 39 via a sliding door, and is located to the west of the open-ceiling space SW4 in a plan view. The sky balcony 40 is an area where part of the roof of the house 100 is flat and can be used as a balcony. A living set 401 including chairs and a table is installed on the sky balcony 40.

[0053] [Effects of House 100] The approach by car path 11 from entrances 111, 112 to front door 13 gives a sense of luxury. Also, if there is only one front door, there is a risk that the single front door will become crowded with guests and residents when a large number of guests arrive. However, in house 100, because it is divided into front door 13 for guests and front door 14 for residents, the traffic lines for guests and residents do not overlap, so that guests can move smoothly within house 100, even when a large number of guests arrive.

[0054] Since the entrances 13 and 14, along with the driveway 11, are located on the basement floor, the sunny first floor can be used as living space.

[0055] The hall 17 faces the dry area 19 through a window 176 as shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 6. The dry area 19 is open upward. Therefore, as shown by an arrow AR4 in Fig. 6, the hall 17 becomes brighter due to the sunlight entering through the window 176, making it easy for guests to walk through the hall 17 and the stairs 172. Similarly, the EL 16 faces the dry area 19 through a window 161 as shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 5, so that the EL 16 can also take in sunlight as shown by an arrow AR1 in Fig. 5.

[0056] In addition, since the first space is adjacent to the open-ceiling space SW2 through windows, sunlight can easily reach the first space (see Figs. 5 and 6). The open-ceiling spaces SW2 and SW4 are continuous in the horizontal direction and open upward, and the second and third spaces are adjacent to the open-ceiling spaces SW2 and SW4 through windows, sunlight can easily reach the second and third spaces. For the same reason, the wind that has entered the OL24 or the balcony 331 can easily reach the first, second and third spaces through the open-ceiling spaces SW2 and SW4 as shown in Figs. 5 and 6 (see arrows AR2 and AR3 in Fig. 5), and the greenery of the trees planted in the dry area 19 and the court 26 can be enjoyed from the second and third spaces. In particular, in the basement, sunlight and wind can easily reach the hall 17 with the staircase 175 (see arrow AR4 in Fig. 6), so that visitors can walk comfortably in the hall 17 and the staircase 172. In addition, sunlight and wind can easily reach EL16 (see arrow AR1 in Figure 5), allowing visitors to spend time there comfortably.

[0057] Since the parking space 12, the EL 16, and the theater room 20 are located on the same floor (i.e., the basement), guests can move between them smoothly. Since a passage 151 is provided in the basement, guests can move between the parking space 12 and the theater room 20 particularly smoothly.

[0058] Since the cars in the parking spaces 12 can be seen from the theater room 20 through the window 201, guests can enjoy their hobbies. [Explanation of symbols]
