Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0004] In the two-story house of Patent Document 1, the comfort of the basement floor was insufficient. Specifically, since only the space directly above the dry area is open to the ground, there are times when sunlight does not reach the basement floor even during sunlight hours, and the ventilation is not good.
[0005] The present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a house having a more comfortable basement floor.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0006] (1) The house according to the present invention includes a building having a basement floor and an above-ground floor, a first dry area located underground, and a first coat located on the first floor of the above-ground floor. Above each of the first dry area and the first coat, there is a continuous void space without a ceiling up to the top floor of the above-ground floor, and the void spaces are continuous with each other in the horizontal direction. The basement floor has an indoor space facing the first dry area through a window, and there are planted trees in the first dry area.
[0007] (4) Light and wind can easily reach the indoor space on the basement floor. Even on the above-ground floor, the greenery of the plants arranged in the first dry area can be enjoyed.
[0008] (2) The basement floor has a front door, and the indoor space is a staircase room having a staircase leading from the basement floor to the above-ground floor, or an entrance living room facing the front door.
[0009] (12) Since light and wind can easily reach the staircase room and the entrance living room, the comfort of the basement floor is further improved.
[0010] (3) The above-ground floor has a living room facing the first coat.
[0011] (20) Since the first coat is continuous with the first dry area, the greenery of the plants in the first dry area can also be enjoyed in the living room, and the comfort on the above-ground floor is also improved.
[0012] (4) The basement floor has a theater room that is not adjacent to the first dry area and is partitioned by a wall.
[0013] (28) Since sunlight hardly reaches the theater room, movies can be enjoyed.
[0014] (5) The house is located on the first floor and includes a second coat that is not adjacent to the first coat. Above the second coat, there is a continuous void space without a ceiling up to the top floor of the above-ground floor. The first floor has a room facing the first coat and the second coat through a window.
[0015] The comfort of the first floor is improved because the ventilation of the first-floor living room is enhanced.
Advantages of the Invention
[0016] According to the above-described house, a house with a more comfortable ground floor can be provided.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention
[0018] Hereinafter, the house 500 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail. The following embodiments are merely examples of the present invention, and it goes without saying that the embodiments can be appropriately changed without changing the gist of the present invention.
[0019] In each figure, arrows X, Y, and Z orthogonal to each other are shown. Arrow X indicates north-south. Arrow Y indicates east-west. Arrow Z indicates the vertical direction. In FIG. 1, the right side of the paper surface is east, the depth direction of the paper surface is north, and the upper side of the paper surface is vertically upward.
[0020] [Overall Configuration of House 500] In FIGS. 1 to 5, the house 500 includes a building 100 on a site 300 facing south from a road 200 extending east-west. The building 100 has a ground floor and an above-ground floor, and more specifically, it is a basement floor and a two-story above-ground building.
[0021] [Basement floor, Dry area 19, 121] In FIG. 1, the basement floor generally includes a driveway 11, a parking space 12, entrances 13, 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, bedrooms (hereinafter also referred to as "BR") 18, and a theater room 20. The house 500 has dry areas 19, 121 underground. The dry areas (English name: areaway) 19, 121 are spaces dug down adjacent to the outside of the basement floor.
[0022] The driveway 11 is passable by automobiles and is generally in a "U" shape. The driveway 11 is connected to the road 200 at the entrances 111, 112 near the northwest corner and the northeast corner of the building 100. The driveway 11 extends slightly south from each of the entrances 111, 112 and passes through the east-west in front of the entrances 13, 14.
[0023] The parking space 12 is connected from the south near the west end of the driveway 11 and has a parking capacity for about 4 cars. A dry area 121 with tree planting (see also FIG. 2) is provided adjacent to the south of the parking space 12. Basically, there are no structures (such as ceilings, floors, and eaves) of the building 100 directly above the dry area 121. However, it is allowed for structures to protrude from the building 100 directly above the dry area 121 within the range that satisfies the condition that the sky can be clearly seen from the dry area 121. This also applies to the dry area 19 described later. Hereinafter, the space directly above the dry area 121 is also referred to as the through space SW1 (see FIG. 3, etc.).
[0024] The entrances 13, 14 face the driveway 11 from the south and the north respectively. The entrance 13 (an example of an entrance) is connected to each room on the basement floor. The entrance 14 is partitioned from the outside by an outer wall and is connected to the driveway 11 through a sliding door. The entrance 14 has a staircase 141 to the first floor.
[0025] SC15 is adjacent to the entrance 13 on the south side via a partition wall and is connected to the entrance 13 through a sliding door. A passage 151 leading from SC15 to the parking space 12 extends east-west.
[0026] EL16 is an example of an indoor space, adjacent to the east side of the entrance 13 and the south side of the vehicle road 11. EL16 is connected to the entrance 13 through a sliding door. EL16 is partitioned from the vehicle road 11 by a partition wall and a window. Sofas and tables available for guests are installed in EL16.
[0027] The hall 17 is another example of an indoor space, extending south from the southwestern corner of EL16 and having a corridor that abuts against the outer wall of the building 100. The hall 17 is connected to SC15 through a sliding door near the northwestern corner of the hall 17. The hall 17 is partitioned from the theater room 20 by a partition wall. From a position near the north of the hall 17, a staircase 175 extending from the ground floor to the first floor runs along this partition wall. That is, the hall 17 is an example of a staircase room.
[0028] BR18 is yet another example of an indoor space, facing the south end of the hall 17 from the east side and connected to the hall 17 through a sliding door. A bed is installed in BR18.
[0029] The dry area 19 is an example of a first dry area. The dry area 19 is located adjacent to the south of EL16 via a window 161 and an outer wall, adjacent to the east of the hall 17 via a window 176 and an outer wall, and adjacent to the north of BR18 via a window and an outer wall. Hereinafter, the indoor space combining EL16, the hall 17, and BR18 is also referred to as the first space. Trees are also planted in the dry area 19 (see also Figure 2). This tree planting is visible not only from the first space on the same floor as the dry area 19 but also from the second space and the third space (details will be described later) on the upper floors. The space directly above the dry area 19 is the clerestory space SW2. The clerestory space SW2 has the same structure as the clerestory space SW1 and has an upward opening so that the sky above can be clearly seen (see Figures 3 and 4).
[0030] 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.
[0031] The theater room 20 faces the corridor 171 from the north side via a sliding door. The theater room 20 is partitioned from other indoor spaces on the ground floor at a position away from the outer wall of the building 100 by partition walls on the east, south, and north sides and a window 201 on the west side. Sofas, tables, disc players, projectors, screens, etc. are installed in the theater room 20.
[0032] The theater room 20 faces the east side of the parking space 12 via the window 201. Therefore, residents etc. can also enjoy looking at the 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, as shown by the arrow AR6 in Fig. 6, the theater room 20 is easily ventilated. The arrow AR6 indicates the air flow from the dry area 121 to the parking space 12 and the air flow from the parking space 12 to the theater room 20 via the window 210.
[0033] [1st floor] In Fig. 2, the 1st floor generally includes 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, coats 25, 26, and a hall 27.
[0034] The hall 21 is located roughly directly above the entrance 14 (see Fig. 1). The hall 21 is provided with a staircase 141 from the ground floor (see Fig. 1) and a staircase 211 to the 2nd floor (see Fig. 3).
[0035] LDK22 is an example of a living and dining room, and is located directly above the automobile road 11, the entrance 13 (see Fig. 1), etc. LDK22 is located adjacent to the south of the hall 21 via a sliding door and a partition wall, and is demarcated by windows on the west and east sides. LDK22 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 respectively. In the vertical direction Z, between the living part of LDK22 and the ceiling of the second floor, there is a void space SW6 (see Fig. 3). That is, there is no ceiling on the first floor and no floor on the second floor in the void space SW6.
[0036] OD23 is located directly above the vicinity of the west end of the automobile road 11 (see Fig. 1), and is adjacent to the west side of the kitchen part of LDK22 via a window. OD23 is demarcated by an outer wall on the west side and a perforated wall 233 on the north side. A large number of through holes are formed in the perforated wall 233 for ventilation. OD23 is equipped with a kitchen set 231 and a dining set 232.
[0037] OL24 is located directly above the vicinity of the east end of the automobile road 11 (see Fig. 1), and is adjacent to the east side of the dining part of LDK22 via a window. OL24 is demarcated by an outer wall on the east side and a perforated wall 242 with many through holes on the north side. OL24 is equipped with a living set 241.
[0038] The court 25 is an example of the second court, and the court 26 is an example of the first court. The courts 25 and 26 are surrounded by the outer wall and windows of the building 100, and are a courtyard with tree planting. The spaces directly above the courts 25 and 26 are void spaces SW3 and SW4 (see Figs. 3 and 4). The void spaces SW3 and SW4 are upward openings that provide a clear view of the sky above, similar to the void space SW1.
[0039] Specifically, the coat 25 is located directly above the northern part of the parking space 12 (see Fig. 1) and is located adjacent to the west of the living part of the LDK 22 through a window. The coat 25 is located adjacent to the south of the OD 23 and north of the bathroom 29 and the dressing room 30. The tree planting in the coat 25 is visible from the LDK 22, OD 23, bathroom 29 and dressing room 30 on the first floor, as well as from the sanitary space 35 and balconies 351, 352 on the second floor.
[0040] The coat 26 is located approximately directly above the EL 16 and adjacent to the south of the OL 24. The coat 26 is located adjacent to the east of the living part of the LDK 22 through a window. In plan view, the coat 26 is located adjacent to the north of the dry area 19 on the ground floor. There is no structure between the coat 26 and the dry area 19 that completely blocks ventilation and sunlight throughout the entire range from the first floor to the top floor. That is, the through-space SW4 is continuous with the through-space SW2 on the north side (i.e., horizontally) of the through-space SW2. Each of the through-spaces SW2 and SW4 is an example of a through-space. The tree planting in the coat 26 is visible from the second space. The second space is a space that combines the LDK 22, OL 24, hall 27 and library 28. The tree planting in the coat 26 is visible not only from the second space but also from a part of the above-mentioned first space and from the third space. The third space is also visible from the hall 34, BR 38 and balcony 331 (see Fig. 3) on the second floor.
[0041] 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 LDK 22 through a sliding door or the like. In plan view, the hall 27 is located adjacent to the west of the dry area 19 through the window 275. The hall 27 is provided with a staircase 175 from the ground floor (see Fig. 1) and a staircase 271 to the second floor (see Fig. 3). In the vertical direction Z, between the staircase 271 in the hall 27 and its periphery and the ceiling of the staircase room 39 (see Fig. 4), there is a through-space SW5 (see Figs. 3 and 4). That is, there is no ceiling on the second floor and no floor in the staircase room 39 in the through-space SW5.
[0042] In Figure 2, a library 28 faces the southeast corner of Hall 27 from the east side. The library 28 is partitioned by windows on the south side and is adjacent to the south side of the dry area 19 in plan view. In the southwest corner of Hall 27, a dressing room 30 faces from the west side, and a bathroom 29 is adjacent to the west side of the dressing room 30. The bathroom 29 and the dressing room 30 are located via windows adjacent to the south of the coat 25 in plan view and are located via windows on the north side of the dry area 121. There are also a toilet 272 and a Japanese-style room 273 located around Hall 27. The trees in the coat 25 and the dry area 121 are also visible from the bathroom 29, the dressing room 30, and the Japanese-style room 273.
[0043] [2nd Floor] In Figure 3, the second floor generally includes 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.
[0044] The hall 31 and the WIC 32 are located approximately directly above the hall 21 (see Figure 2) on the first floor. The hall 31 is provided with a staircase 211 from the first floor (see Figure 2). The WIC 32 is adjacent to the south side of the hall 31 via a sliding door or a partition wall. Storage furniture for items worn by residents (such as clothing and accessories) is installed in the WIC 32.
[0045] The MBR 33 is located approximately directly above the dining part of the LDK 22 (see Figure 2) on the first floor. The MBR 33 is adjacent to the south side of the WIC 32 via a partition wall or a sliding door. Two beds, etc. are installed in the MBR 33. A balcony 331 is adjacent to the east side of the MBR 33 via a window. The balcony 331 is located directly above the OL 24 (see Figure 2) on the first floor and is located adjacent to the north of the coat 26 (i.e., the void SW4) in plan view. The trees in the coat 26 and the dry area 19 are also visible from the MBR 33 and the balcony 331.
[0046] The hall 34 has a first part 341, a second part 342, and a third part 343. The first part 341 extends southward from the southwestern corner of the MBR 33 in plan view along the west side of the blow-throughs SW6 and SW5. The second part 342 extends eastward from the southern end of the first part 341 along the blow-through SW5. The third part 343 extends southward from the eastern end of the second part 342 and abuts against the outer wall of the house 500. In the hall 34, at a position along the blow-through SW5, there are provided a staircase 271 from the first floor (see Fig. 2) and a staircase 344 to the third floor (see Fig. 4).
[0047] The sanitary space 35 is a space for maintaining the sanitary aspect such as a washstand, a toilet, a bathroom, etc., and is adjacent to the west side of the MBR 33 and the first part 341 via a partition wall and a sliding door. Two balconies 351 and 352 are adjacent to the west side of the sanitary space 35. The balcony 351 is located directly above the OD23 on the first floor (see Fig. 2). The balcony 352 is approximately directly above the bathroom 29 and the dressing room 30 on the first floor (see Fig. 2) and is located north of the dry area 121. The balconies 351 and 352 are respectively located adjacent to the north and south of the coat 25 (i.e., the blow-through SW3) in plan view. The tree planting of the coat 25 is visible from the balconies 351 and 352, and the tree planting of the dry area 121 is visible from the balcony 352.
[0048] The BR 36 is adjacent to the south side of the sanitary space 35 via a partition wall and faces the second part 342 via a sliding door. The toilet 37 and the BR 38 are located on the west and east sides respectively via individual partition walls with the third part 343 in between. The BR 38 is located adjacent to the south of the dry area 19 (i.e., the blow-through space SW4) in plan view. Beds and the like are installed in the BR 36 and 38.
[0049] [Roof] In FIG. 4, on the rooftop, there are provided a staircase room 39 and a sky balcony 40. The staircase room 39 is a space partitioned by outer walls in the east, west, south, north, and upward directions at a position above the first part 341, and a staircase 344 from the second floor is provided. The sky balcony 40 is adjacent to the north side of the staircase room 39 via a sliding door and is located adjacent to the west of the void space SW4 in plan view. The sky balcony 40 is an area where a part of the roof of the building 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.
[0050] [Function and Effect of the Residential Building 500] Since the above-mentioned first space is adjacent to the periphery of the void space SW2 through windows, sunlight easily reaches the first space (see FIGS. 5 and 6). The void spaces SW2 and SW4 are continuous in the horizontal direction and are upward openings. Each of the above-mentioned second space and third space is adjacent to the periphery of the continuous void spaces SW2 and SW4 through windows, so sunlight also easily reaches the second space and the third space. For the same reason, the wind entering OL24, the balcony 331, etc. can easily reach the first space, the second space, and the third space through the void spaces SW2 and SW4 as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 (see the arrows AR2 and AR3 in FIG. 5), and the greenery of the trees in the dry area 19 and the coat 26 can also be enjoyed from the second space and the third space. In particular, regarding the basement floor, sunlight and wind easily reach the hall 17 having the staircase 175 (see the arrow AR4 in FIG. 6) and EL16 (see the arrow AR1 in FIG. 5), so these comfort levels are improved.
[0051] Due to the continuity of the void spaces SW2 and SW4, the greenery of the trees in the dry area 19 can also be enjoyed in the LDK22 facing the coat 26, and the comfort level on the first floor is improved.
[0052] The theater room 20 is partitioned by a partition wall or the like without being adjacent to the dry area 19. Therefore, sunlight does not reach the theater room 20, and it is difficult for sound to leak to the outside of the building 100. Thus, the residents can fully enjoy movies and the like.
[0053] As shown in Fig. 2, since LDK22 faces both coats 25 and 26 through windows 224 and 225, when windows 224 and 225 are opened, LDK22 is easily ventilated as indicated by arrow AR7.
