Description

[Technical Field]

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

[0002] Patent Document 1 discloses a building having a sauna room and a bathroom adjacent to the sauna room. The sauna room and the bathroom are separated by a wall member. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 61-187858 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Because sauna rooms are spaces surrounded by walls, sauna users tend to feel claustrophobic. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] (1) A building that solves the above problem is a building having a sauna room and an adjacent room adjacent to the sauna room, where the direction in which the sauna room and the adjacent room are lined up is defined as a first direction and the direction perpendicular to the first direction is defined as a second direction, the sauna room has a first sloped ceiling that decreases in height from one side to the other in the second direction, and the adjacent room has a second sloped ceiling that decreases in height from one side to the other in the second direction, the slope of the second sloped ceiling being the same as the slope of the first sloped ceiling, the sauna room and the adjacent room being separated by a partition, and the partition including a transparent wall portion made of a transparent material.

[0006] According to this configuration, the sauna room has a first sloped ceiling. This improves the sense of openness of the sauna room compared to when the sauna room's ceiling is not sloped. The adjacent room also has a second sloped ceiling with the same slope as the first sloped ceiling, and the sauna room and the adjacent room are separated by a transparent wall. This makes it easier for sauna room users to feel as if the sauna room and the adjacent room are a single space. This also improves the sense of openness of the sauna room.

[0007] (2) In the building described in (1) above, the sauna room has a first side located at the lower end of the first sloped ceiling and a second side located at the upper end of the first sloped ceiling and facing the first side in the second direction, and a heat source and a bench are provided in the sauna room, with the heat source being positioned on the first side in the second direction and the bench being positioned on the second side in the second direction.

[0008] According to this configuration, the heat source is positioned on the first side surface side in the second direction. The hot air generated by the heat source tends to rise, and is therefore guided from the first side surface side to the second side surface side in the second direction along the first sloped ceiling. Therefore, the hot air is more likely to accumulate on the second side surface side than on the first side surface side in the second direction. The bench is positioned on the second side surface side in the second direction. Therefore, users of the sauna room will sit on the second side surface side in the second direction, where hot air is more likely to accumulate. This enhances the sauna effect.

[0009] (3) In the building described in (2) above, the bench has a plank-shaped seat portion and a fascia portion that hangs down from the end of the seat portion in the second direction, the end located farther from the second side, and the bench is arranged so that the underside of the fascia portion is floating above the member located below the bench.

[0010] With this configuration, the headboard makes it difficult for sauna room users to get their legs under the bench, preventing dirt from getting on the feet underneath the bench. Also, the head of a cleaning tool can be inserted and removed under the bench from between the underside of the bench headboard and the component located on the underside of the bench, making cleaning under the bench easier.

[0011] (4) In the building described in (3) above, the bench further has a metal support portion that supports the seat portion, and the distance from the second side surface to the support portion is smaller than the distance from the second side surface to the apron portion.

[0012] With this configuration, the support part is located further back than the panel part, so that the support part is less likely to come into contact with the legs of the sauna user when they are sitting on the bench, and therefore the sauna user's comfort can be maintained even if the temperature of the support part rises due to the heat inside the sauna room.

[0013] (5) In any one of the buildings (2) to (4) above, the sauna room has an air intake port that supplies air into the sauna room, an exhaust port that exhausts air outside the sauna room, and a third side that connects the first side and the second side and faces the partition in the first direction, and the air intake port and the exhaust port are arranged on the first side in the second direction, the air intake port and the heat source are arranged on the third side in the first direction, and the exhaust port is arranged on the partition side in the first direction.

[0014] According to this configuration, the air intake port and the heat source are located on the third side surface side in the first direction and on the first side surface side in the second direction. The exhaust port is located on the partition side in the first direction and on the first side surface side in the second direction. Hot air is generated when air supplied into the sauna room from the air intake port is heated by the heat source. The hot air moves from the first side surface side in the second direction to the second side surface side on the third side surface side in the first direction. The temperature of the moving hot air gradually decreases. The cooled hot air moves from the second side surface side in the second direction to the first side surface side on the partition side in the first direction, and is then discharged outside the sauna room through the exhaust port. This allows hot air to flow efficiently within the sauna room.

[0015] (6) In the building described in (5) above, the partition includes a door, the underside of the door extends horizontally, the floor of the sauna room is inclined so that its height changes in the second direction, and the exhaust port is formed by a lower gap that occurs between the underside of the door and the floor of the sauna room.

[0016] This design improves drainage inside the sauna room because the sauna room floor is sloped. The exhaust vent is formed by the gap between the underside of the door and the sauna room floor. Therefore, the exhaust vent can be formed without drilling holes in the partition.

[0017] (7) In the building of any one of (1) to (6) above, the adjacent room is a bathroom, and the partition includes a door. With this configuration, sauna users can move smoothly from the sauna room to the bathroom, improving the flow of people when taking a shower or entering a cold bath in the bathroom after the sauna.

[0018] (8) In the building described in (7) above, the sauna room has a first waterproof pan that forms the floor surface of the sauna room, and the bathroom has a second waterproof pan that forms the floor surface of the bathroom, and the first waterproof pan and the second waterproof pan are integrated.

[0019] With this configuration, the sauna room floor and the bathroom floor are made of the same material. This makes it easier for sauna room users to feel that the sauna room and the bathroom are a single space. Furthermore, because there is no gap between the first and second waterproof pans, waterproofing and maintenance are improved.

[0020] (9) In the building described in (7) or (8) above, a terrace is provided adjacent to the bathroom, and the bathroom is provided with a bay window that leads to the terrace. With this configuration, sauna users can move from the sauna to the bathroom, and then smoothly move from the bathroom to the terrace through the sliding window. This allows for a smooth flow of traffic when enjoying an outdoor bath. Furthermore, by opening the sliding window, the bathroom becomes an outdoor-like environment, allowing sauna users to enjoy the same benefits as an outdoor bath in the bathroom without having to go to the terrace.

[0021] (10) In the building of any one of (6) to (9) above, the door is made of a transparent material. With this configuration, not only the transparent wall but also the door is made of a transparent material, which makes it easier for sauna users to feel that the sauna room and the adjacent room are part of a single space, thereby further improving the sense of openness of the sauna room.

[0022] (11) In any one of the buildings (1) to (10) above, a roof covering the sauna room is provided, and the roof is a sloped roof whose height decreases as it moves from the one side to the other side in the second direction.

[0023] This structure allows for a building with a sauna room under a sloped roof, with a first sloped ceiling that slopes in the same way as the sloped roof. This sauna room differs from other rectangular sauna rooms, providing a sense of originality to sauna room users. [Effects of the Invention]

[0024] According to the building of the present invention, the open feeling of the sauna room can be improved. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0025] [Figure 1] This is a floor plan of a part of a building. [Figure 2] Schematic diagram of a sauna room and a bathroom. [Figure 3] 3 is a cross-sectional view of the building taken along line 3-3 in FIG. 1. [Figure 4] 4 is a cross-sectional view of the building taken along line 4-4 in FIG. 1. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0026] A building 10 of this embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 4. The building 10 of this embodiment is a detached house. As shown in FIG. 1, building 10 has a sauna room 11, a bathroom 12 as an adjacent room adjacent to sauna room 11, and a terrace 13 adjacent to bathroom 12. In this embodiment, sauna room 11, bathroom 12, and terrace 13 are located on the first floor of building 10. In the following description, the direction in which sauna room 11 and bathroom 12 are lined up is referred to as the first direction. The direction perpendicular to the first direction is referred to as the second direction. In this embodiment, terrace 13 is adjacent to bathroom 12 in the second direction. Sauna room 11 and bathroom 12 are separated by a partition 14. The partition 14 will be described later. Terrace 13 is located outdoors. Bathroom 12 has a French window 15 that connects to terrace 13.

[0027] As shown in FIG. 2, the building 10 has a roof 16 that covers the sauna room 11 and the bathroom 12. Note that the bathtub 120 of the bathroom 12 is not shown in FIG. 2. The roof 16 in this embodiment is configured as a shed for the building 10. The roof 16 in this embodiment is a sloped roof. The roof 16 is sloped so that its height decreases from one side to the other in the second direction. The roof 16 is sloped so that its height decreases from the bathroom 12 side to the terrace 13 side in the second direction.

[0028] As shown in Figure 3, the sauna room 11 has a first waterproof pan 17. The first waterproof pan 17 forms the floor surface 11a of the sauna room 11. The bathroom 12 has a bathtub 120. The bathroom 12 has a second waterproof pan 18. The second waterproof pan 18 forms the floor surface 12a of the bathroom 12.

[0029] In this embodiment, the first waterproof pan 17 and the second waterproof pan 18 are integrated. Therefore, the floor surface 11a of the sauna room 11 and the floor surface 12a of the bathroom 12 are continuous. The floor surface 11a of the sauna room 11 and the floor surface 12a of the bathroom 12 are made of the same material.

[0030] As shown in Figure 4, the floor surface 11a of the sauna room 11 is inclined so that its height changes in the second direction. In this embodiment, the floor surface 11a of the sauna room 11 is inclined so that its height decreases in the second direction from the terrace 13 side toward the bathroom 12 side. A drain groove 19 is provided on the lower end side of the floor surface 11a of the sauna room 11. The drain groove 19 extends along the first direction.

[0031] <Sauna room and bathroom> The sauna room 11 has a first sloped ceiling 11b. The first sloped ceiling 11b is sloped so that its height decreases from one side to the other in the second direction. In this embodiment, the first sloped ceiling 11b is sloped so that its height decreases from the bathroom 12 side to the terrace 13 side in the second direction.

[0032] As shown in Fig. 1, the sauna room 11 has a first side surface 21, a second side surface 22, and a third side surface 23. In this embodiment, the first to third side surfaces 21 to 23 are made of wood.

[0033] As shown in FIG. 4, the first side surface 21 is located at the lower end of the first sloped ceiling 11b in a side view. The first side surface 21 is aligned with the French window 15 in the first direction (see FIG. 1). The second side surface 22 is located at the upper end of the first sloped ceiling 11b in a side view. The second side surface 22 faces the first side surface 21 in the second direction. In this embodiment, the floor surface 11a of the sauna room 11 is sloped so that its height decreases in the second direction from the first side surface 21 side toward the second side surface 22 side. The first sloped ceiling 11b is sloped so that its height decreases in the second direction from the second side surface 22 side toward the first side surface 21 side.

[0034] 1, the third side surface 23 connects the first side surface 21 and the second side surface 22 in the second direction. The third side surface 23 faces the partition 14 in the first direction. As shown in FIG. 2, the bathroom 12 has a second sloped ceiling 12b. The second sloped ceiling 12b is sloped so that its height decreases from one side to the other in the second direction. In this embodiment, the second sloped ceiling 12b is sloped so that its height decreases in the second direction from the bathroom 12 side to the terrace 13 side. In other words, the second sloped ceiling 12b is sloped so that its height decreases in the second direction from the second side surface 22 side to the first side surface 21 side. The slope of the second sloped ceiling 12b is the same as the slope of the first sloped ceiling 11b. Therefore, the second sloped ceiling 12b is continuous with the first sloped ceiling 11b.

[0035] Although not shown, the bathroom 12 is provided with a ventilation device for ventilating the bathroom 12. <Divider> As shown in Figure 4, the partition 14 has a first wall portion 41, a second wall portion 42, a third wall portion 43, and a door 44. By opening and closing the door 44, people can move between the sauna room 11 and the bathroom 12.

[0036] The first wall portion 41 and the second wall portion 42 are rectangular in side view. The first wall portion 41 and the second wall portion 42 are aligned in the vertical direction. The second wall portion 42 is located above the first wall portion 41. The first wall portion 41 and the second wall portion 42 are arranged on the second side surface 22 side in the second direction. The first wall portion 41 has a first surface 41a located inside the sauna room 11 and a second surface 41b located inside the bathroom 12 (see Figure 3).

[0037] The door 44 has a rectangular shape in a side view. The door 44 is rotatably attached to the first side surface 21. The door 44 is disposed on the first side surface 21 side in the second direction. The door 44 is aligned with the first wall portion 41 and the second wall portion 42 in the second direction. An upper surface 44a and a lower surface 44b of the door 44 each extend along the horizontal direction.

[0038] The third wall 43 has a generally triangular shape in a side view. The third wall 43 extends downward from the boundary between the first sloped ceiling 11b and the second sloped ceiling 12b. The third wall 43 is located above the door 44 and the second wall 42. The lower surface 43a of the third wall 43 extends horizontally.

[0039] In this embodiment, an upper gap G1 is provided between the upper surface 44a of the door 44 and the lower surface 43a of the third wall portion 43. As described above, the floor surface 11a of the sauna room 11 is inclined so that its height changes in the second direction. Therefore, a lower gap G2 is provided between the lower surface 44b of the door 44 and the floor surface 11a of the sauna room 11. In this embodiment, the distance between the lower surface 44b of the door 44 and the floor surface 11a of the sauna room 11 increases from the first side surface 21 side toward the second side surface 22 side in the second direction.

[0040] The first wall portion 41 is a wall portion made of an opaque material. The first surface 41a of the first wall portion 41 is made of the same material as the first to third side surfaces 21 to 23 of the sauna room 11. In this embodiment, the first surface 41a is made of wood. The second surface 41b is made of the same material as the side surfaces of the bathroom 12. The second wall portion 42 and the third wall portion 43 are each transparent wall portions made of a transparent material. In this embodiment, the door 44 is also made of a transparent material. In this embodiment, the second wall portion 42, the third wall portion 43, and the door 44 are made of transparent glass.

[0041] 1 and 2, the sauna room 11 has an air intake port 11c that supplies air into the sauna room 11. In this embodiment, the air intake port 11c is located on the third side surface 23 side in the first direction and on the first side surface 21 side in the second direction. In this embodiment, the air intake port 11c is located at the bottom of the first side surface 21.

[0042] As shown in Figure 4, the sauna room 11 has an exhaust port 11d that exhausts air outside the sauna room 11. In this embodiment, the exhaust port 11d is composed of an upper gap G1 and a lower gap G2. Therefore, the exhaust port 11d is located on the partition 14 side in the first direction and on the first side surface 21 side in the second direction.

[0043] 1 and 2, a heat source 30 is provided in the sauna room 11. The heat source 30 is provided near the air intake 11c. In this embodiment, the heat source 30 is disposed on the third side surface 23 side in the first direction and on the first side surface 21 side in the second direction.

[0044] Benches 31 are provided inside the sauna room 11. In this embodiment, the benches 31 include an upper bench 31a and a lower bench 31b provided below the upper bench 31a. That is, the benches 31 in this embodiment are provided in two stages.

[0045] The bench 31 extends along the second side surface 22. Therefore, the bench 31 is disposed on the second side surface 22 side in the second direction. The dimension of the upper bench 31a in the second direction is smaller than the dimension of the lower bench 31b in the second direction.

[0046] As shown in FIG. 4, the upper bench 31a and the lower bench 31b each have a plate-shaped seat portion 32, a back panel portion 33, and a support portion 34. The seat portion 32 and the back panel portion 33 are made of wood. The support portion 34 is made of a metal such as stainless steel. The seat portion 32 is the surface on which a user of the sauna room 11 sits. The back panel portion 33 is the end of the seat portion 32 in the second direction, and hangs down from the end farthest from the second side surface 22. The bench 31 is arranged so that the underside 33a of the back panel portion 33 is floating above the components located below the bench 31.

[0047] The member located below the upper bench 31a is the lower bench 31b. The upper bench 31a is arranged so that the underside 33a of the back panel 33 is floating above the seating surface 32 of the lower bench 31b. The member located below the lower bench 31b is the floor surface 11a of the sauna room 11. The lower bench 31b is arranged so that the underside 33a of the back panel 33 is floating above the floor surface 11a of the sauna room 11.

[0048] The support portion 34 supports the seat portion 32. The distance from the second side surface 22 to the support portion 34 in the second direction is smaller than the distance from the second side surface 22 to the header portion 33. In other words, the support portion 34 is provided at a position recessed from the header portion 33.

[0049] [Operation of this embodiment] The operation of this embodiment will be described. The building 10 comprises a sauna room 11 and a bathroom 12 adjacent to the sauna room 11. The sauna room 11 has a first sloped ceiling 11b that decreases in height from one side to the other in the second direction. The bathroom 12 has a second sloped ceiling 12b that decreases in height from one side to the other in the second direction. The slope of the second sloped ceiling 12b is the same as the slope of the first sloped ceiling 11b. The sauna room 11 and the bathroom 12 are separated by a partition 14. The partition 14 includes a second wall portion 42 and a third wall portion 43 made of a transparent material.

[0050] With this configuration, the sauna room 11 has a first sloped ceiling 11b, which enhances the sense of openness of the sauna room 11 compared to a sauna room 11 that does not have a sloped ceiling. The bathroom 12 also has a second sloped ceiling 12b with the same slope as the first sloped ceiling 11b. This creates continuity in the ceilings of the sauna room 11 and the bathroom 12. Furthermore, the sauna room 11 and the bathroom 12 are separated by a second wall 42 and a third wall 43 made of a transparent material. This creates continuity in the space between the sauna room 11 and the bathroom 12. This makes it easier for users of the sauna room 11 to feel as if the sauna room 11 and the bathroom 12 are a single space. This also enhances the sense of openness of the sauna room 11.

[0051] [Effects of this embodiment] The effects of this embodiment will be described. (1) The sauna room 11 has a first sloped ceiling 11b. This increases the sense of openness of the sauna room 11 compared to a sauna room 11 that does not have a sloped ceiling. In addition, the bathroom 12 adjacent to the sauna room 11 has a second sloped ceiling 12b with the same slope as the first sloped ceiling 11b, and the sauna room 11 and bathroom 12 are separated by a second wall 42 and a third wall 43 made of a transparent material. This makes it easier for users of the sauna room 11 to feel as if the sauna room 11 and the bathroom 12 are a single space. This also increases the sense of openness of the sauna room 11.

[0052] (2) The sauna room 11 has a first side surface 21 located at the lower end of the first sloped ceiling 11b, and a second side surface 22 located at the upper end of the first sloped ceiling 11b and facing the first side surface 21 in the second direction. A heat source 30 and a bench 31 are provided inside the sauna room 11. The heat source 30 is located on the first side surface 21 side in the first direction. The bench 31 is located on the second side surface 22 side in the first direction.

[0053] When the sauna room 11 has a horizontal ceiling, the hot air generated by heating with the heat source 30 diffuses horizontally in all directions from the part of the ceiling directly above the heat source 30. Specifically, some of the hot air that reaches the ceiling flows toward the bench 31, and another part of the hot air flows toward the exhaust port 11d on the door 44 side. In this way, some of the hot air does not flow toward the bench 31 and is exhausted.

[0054] In contrast, with the above configuration, the hot air generated by heating with the heat source 30 tends to rise, and is therefore guided in the second direction along the first sloped ceiling 11b from the first side surface 21 toward the second side surface 22. Therefore, the hot air is more likely to accumulate on the second side surface 22 side than on the first side surface 21 side in the second direction. The bench 31 is positioned on the second side surface 22 side in the second direction. Therefore, users of the sauna room 11 will sit on the second side surface 22 side, which is the side where hot air is more likely to accumulate in the second direction. This enhances the sauna effect.

[0055] (3) The bench 31 has a plate-shaped seat portion 32 and a top panel portion 33 that hangs down from the end of the seat portion 32 in the second direction, the end farther from the second side surface 22. According to this configuration, the panel portion 33 makes it difficult for users of the sauna room 11 to place their legs under the bench 31, thereby preventing dirt from getting under the bench 31 and onto the feet.

[0056] Additionally, the upper bench 31a is arranged so that the underside 33a of the headboard 33 is raised above the seating surface 32 of the lower bench 31b. This allows the head of a cleaning tool to be inserted and removed below the upper bench 31a from between the underside 33a of the headboard 33 of the upper bench 31a and the seating surface 32 of the lower bench 31b. This makes it easier to clean below the upper bench 31a.

[0057] The lower bench 31b is arranged so that the underside 33a of the back panel 33 is raised above the floor surface 11a of the sauna room 11. This allows the head of a cleaning tool to be inserted and removed below the lower bench 31b from between the underside 33a of the back panel 33 of the lower bench 31b and the floor surface 11a of the sauna room 11. This makes it easy to clean below the lower bench 31b.

[0058] (4) The upper bench 31a and the lower bench 31b each further have a metal support portion 34 that supports the seat portion 32. The distance from the first side surface 21 to the support portion 34 is shorter than the distance from the first side surface 21 to the back panel portion 33. With this configuration, the support portion 34 is located further back than the back panel portion 33. Therefore, when a user of the sauna room 11 is sitting on the bench 31, the support portion 34 is less likely to come into contact with the user's legs. Therefore, even if the temperature of the support portion 34 rises due to the heat inside the sauna room 11, the comfort of the user of the sauna room 11 can be maintained.

[0059] (5) The sauna room 11 has an air intake port 11c that supplies air into the sauna room 11, an air exhaust port 11d that exhausts air outside the sauna room 11, and a third side surface 23 that connects the first side surface 21 and the second side surface 22 and faces the partition 14 in the first direction. The air intake port 11c and the air exhaust port 11d are located on the first side surface 21 side in the second direction. The air intake port 11c and the heat source 30 are located on the third side surface 23 side in the first direction. The air exhaust port 11d is located on the partition 14 side in the first direction.

[0060] With this configuration, hot air is generated when the air supplied into the sauna room 11 from the air intake port 11c is heated by the heat source 30. As shown by the dashed arrows in FIG. 2, the hot air moves from the first side surface 21 side in the second direction toward the second side surface 22 side on the third side surface 23 side in the first direction. The temperature of the moving hot air gradually decreases. The cooled hot air moves from the second side surface 22 side in the second direction toward the first side surface 21 side on the partition 14 side in the first direction, and is then discharged outside the sauna room 11 through the exhaust port 11d. This allows the hot air to flow efficiently within the sauna room 11.

[0061] (6) The partition 14 includes a door 44. The lower surface 44b of the door 44 extends horizontally. The floor surface 11a of the sauna room 11 is inclined so that its height changes in the second direction. The exhaust port 11d is formed by a lower gap G2 that occurs between the lower surface 44b of the door 44 and the floor surface 11a of the sauna room 11.

[0062] With this configuration, the floor surface 11a of the sauna room 11 is inclined, improving drainage within the sauna room 11. In addition, the exhaust port 11d is formed by the lower gap G2 that occurs between the underside 44b of the door 44 and the floor surface 11a of the sauna room 11, so the exhaust port 11d can be formed without providing a hole in the partition 14.

[0063] Furthermore, the exhaust port 11d of this embodiment is also formed by an upper gap G1 provided between the upper surface 44a of the door 44 and the lower surface 43a of the third wall portion 43. By adjusting the sizes of the upper gap G1 and the lower gap G2, it is possible to form the exhaust port 11d with a desired area.

[0064] (7) The partition 14 includes a door 44. The adjacent room to the sauna room 11 is the bathroom 12. With this configuration, users of the sauna room 11 can move smoothly from the sauna room 11 to the bathroom 12, which improves the flow of people when taking a shower or entering a cold bath in the bathroom 12 after using the sauna.

[0065] (8) The sauna room 11 has a first waterproof pan 17 that forms the floor surface 11a of the sauna room 11. The bathroom 12 has a second waterproof pan 18 that forms the floor surface 12a of the bathroom 12. The first waterproof pan 17 and the second waterproof pan 18 are integrated. With this configuration, the floor surface 11a of the sauna room 11 and the floor surface 12a of the bathroom 12 are made of the same material.
