Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] By the way, it has become difficult to secure time for doing housework due to various circumstances. For example, in a dual - income family, it is difficult to secure sufficient time for housework. There is a need for a building that can perform housework more efficiently. According to conventional buildings, the burden of a series of washing operations and movements can be reduced. However, there is still room for further improvement in the efficiency of housework.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0005] (1) The building that solves the above problems is a building having a first side surface and a second side surface opposite to the first side surface, and including a raised area where tatami mats are laid, a workbench arranged beside the raised area along the first side surface of the raised area, a storage room provided adjacent to the second side surface, and a clothing member. The workroom has a first wall separating the workroom from the storage room, the first wall has an opening, and the clothing member is arranged in the workroom so as to extend from above the workbench through the opening to the storage room.

[0006] According to this configuration, since a part of the clothing member is located above the workbench, it is easy to hang the clothing on the clothing member after ironing the clothing on the workbench. Since the clothing member extends from above the workbench to the storage room, the clothing after ironing can be moved from the workroom to the storage room while being hung on the clothing member. The clothing member facilitates the movement of clothing in each operation, so the operations from washing to storing the clothing can be made more efficient.

[0007] (2) In the building described in (1) above, the storage room is a walk-in closet. According to this configuration, since the storage room is a walk-in closet, the clothing can be easily stored.

[0008] (3) The building described in (1) or (2) above includes a first room provided adjacent to the workroom, and the first room is connected to the workroom through the workbench. According to this configuration, since the workroom is connected to the first room, the worker can communicate with family members or the like in the first room while working in the workroom or on the workbench. Therefore, it is difficult for the worker in the workroom to feel isolated.

[0009] (4) In the building described in any one of (1) to (3) above, the working floor surface of the workroom is higher than the storage floor surface of the storage room. According to this configuration, since the working floor surface is higher than the storage floor surface, it is easier to hang the clothing on the clothing member in the workroom than in the storage room. Therefore, in the room structure, the clothing can be suitably hung on the clothing member in the workroom.

Advantages of the Invention

[0010] The building of the present disclosure can streamline the work related to washing.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0012] <Embodiment> With reference to FIGS. 1 to 4, the building 1 according to the embodiment will be described.

[0013] <Building> FIG. 1 shows an example of the building 1. Examples of the building 1 include a detached house, an apartment house, and a public facility. The building 1 in the present embodiment is a detached house. The building 1 has a window 2 and an outdoor overhang 3 arranged along the window 2. The outdoor overhang 3 is a balcony or a veranda. The window 2 is provided between a first outer wall 4 and a second outer wall 5 in the horizontal direction.

[0014] As shown in FIG. 2, the building 1 has a room structure 10. The room structure 10 is provided in the building 1. The room structure 10 in the present embodiment is provided on the floor of the building 1 where the outdoor overhang 3 is provided. The building 1 includes a workroom 11, a workbench 12, a storage room 13, and a material handling member 14. The room structure 10 is composed of the workroom 11, the workbench 12, the storage room 13, and the material handling member 14.

[0015] <Workroom> As shown in FIG. 2, the workroom 11 is a room for performing tasks such as housework. The tasks such as housework are, for example, tasks related to laundry. As an example of the laundry-related tasks performed in the workroom 11, for example, hanging laundry to dry, taking in laundry, folding laundry, ironing laundry, etc. can be mentioned. In the following description, the laundry-related tasks will be described as tasks related to the laundry of clothing. The laundry-related tasks may be tasks related to the laundry of fabric products other than clothing such as towels, handkerchiefs, sheets, blankets, futons, etc. In the workroom 11, not only laundry-related tasks but also tasks such as cleaning, tidying up, childcare, nursing care, etc. may be performed. The workroom 11 may be used not only for tasks such as housework but also for the purpose of family members living in the building 1 to relax, children to play, infants to sleep, etc.

[0016] The workroom 11 may have a window 2. The window 2 is located between the workroom 11 and the outdoor overhang 3. The operator can move from the workroom 11 to the outdoor overhang 3 through the window 2. An additional member 3A may be arranged on the outdoor overhang 3. For example, laundry after washing may be dried on the additional member 3A. The workroom 11 faces a part of the first outer wall 4. The workroom 11 may also face a part of the second outer wall 5.

[0017] The workroom 11 includes a raised floor area 15. The raised floor area 15 has a first side surface 16 and a second side surface 17 opposite to the first side surface 16. The raised floor area 15 has a third side surface 18 along the outdoor overhang 3 and a fourth side surface 19 opposite to the third side surface 18. A wall along the third side surface 18 may be arranged in the workroom 11 so as to partition the workroom 11 and the outdoor overhang 3.

[0018] The raised floor area 15 is covered with tatami mats 20. As the tatami mats 20, rush-made, Japanese paper-made, or resin-made tatami mats can be used. The tatami mats 20 may be rectangular tatami mats or square tatami mats. By the tatami mats 20 absorbing moisture, the moisture in the workroom 11 is absorbed. Even if water drips from the wet laundry after washing, the tatami mats 20 can suitably wipe it up.

[0019] The tatami mat 20 has cushioning properties as compared to a floorboard made of wood or the like. Since the tatami mat 20 is laid on the raised platform 15, it is easier to sit directly on the raised platform 15 than when the floor material is composed of floorboards. The raised platform 15 on which the tatami mat 20 is laid can also be used as a place to put a baby to sleep when an operator is working in the workroom 11 or at the workbench 12.

[0020] The workroom 11 has a first wall 21 that separates the workroom 11 from the storage room 13. The first wall 21 is located between the workroom 11 and the storage room 13. The first wall 21 extends from the second outer wall 5 toward the interior of the room. In plan view, the first wall 21 is arranged along the second side surface 17. In plan view, the first wall 21 overlaps with the raised platform 15. The first wall 21 may be arranged so as not to overlap with the raised platform 15 in plan view.

[0021] The first wall 21 has an opening 22. The workroom 11 and the storage room 13 communicate with each other through the opening 22. In the present embodiment, the opening 22 is arranged in a region near the third side surface 18 in the first wall 21. The opening 22 may be arranged in a region near the center in the first wall 21. Further, the opening 22 may be arranged in a region near the fourth side surface 19 in the first wall 21.

[0022] <Workbench> On the workbench 12 shown in FIG. 2, for example, operations such as folding clothes after washing and ironing the washed clothes are performed. The use of the workbench 12 is not limited to operations related to washing. The workbench 12 may be used for housework such as tidying up and sewing, handicrafts, studying, etc. The workbench 12 is arranged beside the raised platform 15 along the first side surface 16 of the raised platform 15. The workbench 12 of the present embodiment is arranged adjacent to the first outer wall 4. The workbench 12 may be integrally formed with the first outer wall 4.

[0023] Like the operator W1 shown in FIG. 3, the workbench 12 is arranged so that the operator can work facing the first direction D1 from the first side surface 16 to the second side surface 17. When the operator works facing the first direction D1 on the workbench 12, the operator can work in a standing state. A chair may be arranged on the workbench 12 so that the operator can work in a sitting state when working facing the first direction D1. By arranging a chair on the workbench 12, the operator can choose whether to work in a standing state or in a sitting state on the chair.

[0024] Like the operator W2 shown in FIG. 3, the workbench 12 is arranged so that the operator can work facing the second direction D2 opposite to the first direction D1. When the operator works facing the second direction D2, the operator can work in a sitting state on the small stool 15. Since the workbench 12 can be used in different postures, either standing or sitting, the operator can choose the posture during work according to the work. For example, when the operator is busy and works during breaks from other housework, the operator can use the workbench 12 while standing. Also, for example, when the operator performs work that takes a long time, the operator can use the workbench 12 while sitting on the small stool 15.

[0025] FIG. 4 shows the case where the workbench 12 is viewed from the first direction D1. As shown in FIG. 4, the workbench 12 has a top plate 23 and a storage shelf 24. The top plate 23 is made of wood, tiles, etc.

[0026] Tools 24T such as an iron, an ironing board, and a sprayer are stored in the storage shelf 24. In FIG. 4, the storage shelf 24 is an open shelf, but the storage shelf 24 may be a shelf with a door. If the storage shelf 24 has a door, a key may be attached to the door to prevent children from touching the tools 24T. The storage shelf 24 may be a cabinet independent of the top plate 23. The storage shelf 24 may be configured so that the tools 24T can be taken out from the side of the small stool 15.

[0027] <First Room> As shown in FIG. 2, the building 1 includes a first room 25 provided adjacent to the workroom 11.

[0045] <Work in the building> Referring to FIG. 3, in the building 1, the operations from when an operator washes clothes to when the clothes are stored will be described. The operator hangs the wet clothes after washing on the drying member 14 indoors in the workroom 11 using a hanger. The operation of hanging the wet clothes on the drying member 14 indoors is performed above the raised platform 15. Since the tatami mat 20 is laid on the raised platform 15, even if the moisture of the wet clothes drips and the tatami mat 20 gets wet, the raised platform 15 can be easily cleaned. The wet clothes are dried indoors by being hung on the drying member 14. The wet clothes may be dried outdoors by being hung on the additional drying member 3A of the outdoor overhang 3.

[0046] The operator slides and moves the dried clothes, which are dried by being hung on the drying member 14, in the second direction D2 to near the workbench 12 while still hanging on the drying member 14. Or, the dried clothes, which are dried by being hung on the additional drying member 3A outdoors, are moved to the drying member 14 and then slid and moved in the second direction D2 to near the workbench 12 while still hanging on the drying member 14. The operator irons the clothes hanging on the drying member 14 on the workbench 12. After finishing ironing, the operator hangs the clothes on the drying member 14 again. Also, the iron is stored in the storage shelf 24 after finishing ironing.

[0047] The operator slides and moves the clothes, on which ironing has been finished and which are still hanging on the drying member 14, in the first direction D1 to the storage room 13. The clothes move to the storage room 13 through the opening 22. The operator moves the clothes from the drying member 14 to the hanging member 26 of the walk-in closet 13W. The operator may store the clothes on the shelf inside the walk-in closet 13W. When not ironing the clothes, the operator may slide and move the clothes directly from the workroom 11 to the storage room 13 without sliding and moving to near the workbench 12.

[0048] The first operation of this embodiment will be described. By arranging the drying member 14 in the workroom 11, it is possible to dry laundry regardless of time, weather, etc., so that work related to laundry can be carried out according to the convenience of the operator. Since the drying member 14 is arranged from the workroom 11 to the storage room 13, the operator can slide and move while hanging the clothes on the drying member 14. Since the operator can move while hanging the clothes on the drying member 14, the distance that the operator has to carry the clothes through the work related to laundry can be shortened. Also, since tools 24T such as an iron are stored in the storage shelf 24 of the workbench 12, there is no need to carry the tool 24T after ironing. In the building 1, a series of operations from washing clothes to storing them can be carried out efficiently.

[0049] The second operation of this embodiment will be described. In the building 1, work can be carried out in various postures, such as working on the tatami mat 20 of the alcove 15, sitting on the alcove 15 and working on the workbench 12, or standing up and working on the workbench 12. Since the workbench 12 faces the first room 25, the operator can also carry out simple work on the workbench 12 while passing through the first room 25 during breaks in housework other than laundry. Also, since the alcove 15 is connected to the second room 6, simple work can also be carried out in the alcove 15 while passing through the corridor of the second room 6. In the building 1, since the operator can work in a posture suitable for the type of work when the operator can work, it is difficult for the operator to feel stress during work.

[0050] The third operation of this embodiment will be described. Since the workbench 12 is configured to enable work from either the first direction D1 or the second direction D2, the operator can work while conversing with the family members in the first room 25 or the alcove 15. Since tatami mats 20 are laid in the alcove 15, not only adults but also children can easily sit on the tatami mats 20 and fold clothes. Also, since the drying member 14 is set at a height easily reachable by children, children can easily hang clothes on the drying member 14 or take in the clothes being dried on the drying member 14. Thus, in the building 1, the operator can perform tasks such as housework while conversing with the family members outside the workroom 11 or together with the children in the workroom 11.

[0051] The effects of the present embodiment will be described. (1) The building 1 includes a workroom 11, a workbench 12, a storage room 13, and a drying member 14. The workroom 11 includes an alcove 15. The workbench 12 is arranged beside the alcove 15. The storage room 13 is provided adjacent to the second side surface 17 of the alcove 15. The workroom 11 has a first wall 21 that separates the workroom 11 and the storage room 13. The first wall 21 has an opening 22. The drying member 14 is arranged in the workroom 11 so as to extend from above the workbench 12 to the storage room 13 through the opening 22.

[0052] According to this configuration, since a part of the drying member 14 is located above the workbench 12, it is easy to hang the clothes on the drying member 14 after ironing the clothes on the workbench 12. Since the drying member 14 extends from above the workbench 12 to the storage room 13, the clothes after ironing can be moved from the workroom 11 to the storage room 13 while hanging on the drying member 14. The drying member 14 facilitates the movement of the clothes in each task, so the work from washing to storing the clothes can be made more efficient.

[0053] (2) The storage room 13 is a walk-in closet 13W. According to this configuration, since the storage room 13 is a walk-in closet 13W, the clothes can be easily stored.

[0054] (3) The building 1 is provided with a first room 25. The first room 25 is provided adjacent to the workroom 11. The first room 25 is connected to the workroom 11 via a workbench 12. According to this configuration, since the workroom 11 is connected to the first room 25, an operator can communicate with family members or the like in the first room 25 while working in the workroom 11 or at the workbench 12. Therefore, it is difficult for the operator in the workroom 11 to feel a sense of isolation.

[0055] (4) The workbench 12 is arranged so that an operator can work facing the first direction D1. According to this configuration, since the operator can work on the workbench 12 while facing the workroom 11, the operator can communicate with family members or the like in the alcove 15 while working at the workbench 12. Therefore, it is difficult for the operator in the workroom 11 to feel a sense of isolation.

[0056] (5) In the first direction D1, the dimension L1 of the workbench 12 is, for example, 0.5 m or more and 1 m or less. Also, in the first direction D1, the dimension L2 of the workroom 11 is, for example, 2.5 m or more and 3.5 m or less. Also, in the first direction D1, the dimension L3 of the storage room 13 is, for example, 2.5 m or more and 3.5 m or less. According to this configuration, a workbench 12 of sufficient size can be secured with respect to the size of the workroom 11. Also, a storage room 13 of sufficient size can be secured with respect to the size of the workroom 11.

[0057] (6) The working floor surface 11X of the workroom 11 is higher than the storage floor surface 13X of the storage room 13. According to this configuration, since the working floor surface 11X is higher than the storage floor surface 13X, it is easier to hang clothes on the article member 14 in the workroom 11 than in the storage room 13. Therefore, in the building 1, clothes can be suitably hung on the article member 14 in the workroom 11.

[0058] <Modification Example> The above embodiments are examples of the forms that a building can take, and are not intended to limit such forms. A building can take a form different from those illustrated in the above embodiments.
