Description

[Technical Field]

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

[0002] The following Patent Document 1 shows a building that provides an open design and good aesthetics to the surrounding environment, including the elevator system. In this building, the elevator hall is located facing the void space, and the boundary between the elevator hall and the void space, as well as the elevator car, are formed so that they can be seen from both the elevator hall and the void space.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2011-68434 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In the building of Patent Document 1, the elevator hall faces the open atrium space, which increases the openness of the elevator hall compared to a building that does not face the open atrium space. Increasing the openness of a space primarily used for transportation improves livability outside of the rooms. Therefore, various methods are being sought for buildings that can provide comfortable environments in spaces other than the rooms, such as offices. For example, in elevator halls, it would be even more desirable to not only increase the openness but also to allow in as much natural light as possible.

[0005] In consideration of the above, an object of the present invention is to provide a comfortable environment in spaces other than living rooms in a building. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The building of claim 1 comprises an elevator hall facing a translucent surface on the outdoor side, see-through elevator shafts on both sides of the elevator hall, and a void facing the translucent surface that allows external light to enter the elevator hall through the see-through elevator shafts.

[0007] In the building of claim 1, external light is introduced into the elevator hall from three sides: the light-transmitting surface on the exterior side of the building and the see-through elevator shafts on both sides. This makes it possible to brighten the space used mainly for transportation. This makes it possible to provide a comfortable environment in spaces other than living rooms, such as offices, in the building.

[0008] The building of claim 2 is the building of claim 1, wherein the void is capable of taking in outside air and is provided with a terrace that can be accessed from a passageway.

[0009] In the building of claim 2, a terrace is provided in the void that allows outside air to be taken in. This allows building users to be exposed to the outside air while remaining inside the building. By providing such a space, a comfortable environment can be provided in spaces other than living spaces such as offices. In addition, the terrace can be used as a rest area, which can encourage spontaneous communication between building users.

[0010] A building according to claim 3 is the building according to claim 2, wherein the terrace is provided every two stories.

[0011] In the building of claim 3, terraces are provided every two floors in the voids. This increases the openness of the terrace areas, providing a more comfortable environment. In addition, because the voids are provided facing the translucent surface on the exterior side of the building, the terraces can be seen from outside. This gives the building's exterior design a distinctive look. [Effects of the Invention]

[0012] According to the present invention, a comfortable environment can be provided in spaces other than living rooms in a building. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0013] [Figure 1] 1 is a plan view showing a building according to an embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 2] FIG. 2 is a plan view showing another floor of a building according to an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0014] Hereinafter, a building according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Components indicated by the same reference numerals in the drawings are the same components. However, unless otherwise specified in the specification, each component is not limited to one, and may be present in multiple numbers.

[0015] Furthermore, descriptions of overlapping configurations and symbols in each drawing may be omitted. Note that the present disclosure is not limited to the following embodiments, and may be implemented by making appropriate modifications, such as omitting configurations or replacing them with different configurations, within the scope of the purpose of the present disclosure.

[0016] In each drawing, the directions indicated by arrows X and Y are directions along the horizontal plane and are perpendicular to each other. The direction indicated by arrow Z is a direction along the vertical direction (up and down). In each drawing, the directions indicated by arrows X, Y, and Z are assumed to be consistent with each other.

[0017] <Building> 1 shows a plan view of a standard floor in the middle section of a building 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The building 10 can be used for a variety of purposes, such as an office building, a commercial building such as a department store, or a showroom, but in this embodiment, it is an office building.

[0018] The building 10 comprises living spaces 12 and a core section 14 adjacent to the living spaces 12. The core section 14 is provided near one side of the outer periphery along the longitudinal direction (X direction) of the building 10. This makes the building 10 a building with a so-called "offset core" planar format. Furthermore, the dimension of the core section 14 along the X direction is smaller than the dimension of the living spaces 12 along the X direction, and the core section 14 is surrounded on three sides by the living spaces 12.

[0019] (Room) The living room 12 is, for example, an office space, and in plan view, the outer peripheral surfaces on three sides other than the side facing the core part 14 face the outdoors. The boundary between the living room 12 and the outdoors is a light-transmitting surface where a glass curtain wall 12A is arranged.

[0020] (Core part) The core portion 14 is disposed so that its longitudinal direction coincides with the longitudinal direction (X direction) of the living room 12. A passage 50 is provided in the core portion 14, extending from one end to the other end in the longitudinal direction of the core portion 14. The passage 50 is provided on the living room 12 side, along the living room 12.

[0021] The core section 14 is provided with an elevator hall 20, elevator shafts 22 and 24, and voids 32 and 34. The elevator hall 20, elevator shafts 22 and 24, and voids 32 and 34 are each arranged along the outer periphery of the building 10.

[0022] The boundaries between the elevator hall 20, the elevator shafts 22 and 24, the voids 32 and 34 and the outdoors are formed as light-receiving surfaces (translucent surfaces) where glass curtain walls 14A are arranged.

[0023] In the core portion 14, a void 32, an elevator shaft 22, an elevator hall 20, an elevator shaft 24, and a void 34 are arranged in this order along the longitudinal direction of the core portion 14.

[0024] In other words, voids 32 and 34 are arranged on both sides of elevator shafts 22 and 24, respectively, which are arranged on either side of elevator hall 20.

[0025] (Elevator hall) The elevator hall 20 is provided with one end in the Y direction facing the curtain wall 14A, which is a light-transmitting surface on the outdoor side, and the other end in the Y direction connected to the passage 50. This allows users of the building 10 to travel between the passage 50 and the elevator hall 20.

[0026] Elevator shafts 22 and 24 are arranged on both sides of the elevator hall 20 in the X direction. That is, the elevator hall 20 is arranged at a position sandwiched between the elevator shafts 22 and 24.

[0027] (elevator shaft) The elevator shaft 22 is a vertical hole provided adjacent to the elevator hall 20. Inside the elevator shaft 22, three elevators EV that land on each floor in the middle floor section are arranged along the short side direction (Y direction) of the passage 50.

[0028] The elevator shaft 22 and the elevator hall 20 are separated by a door 22A and a glass wall 22B. The door 22A is an automatic door that opens and closes in conjunction with a door (not shown) in the elevator EV. The elevator shaft 22 and the void 32 are separated by a glass wall 22C.

[0029] Elevator shaft 24 is a vertical hole provided adjacent to elevator hall 20 on the opposite side of elevator shaft 22. Inside elevator shaft 24, three elevators EV that land on each floor in the middle floor section are arranged along the short side direction (Y direction) of passage 50.

[0030] The elevator shaft 24 and the elevator hall 20 are separated by a door 24A and a glass wall 24B. The door 24A is an automatic door that opens and closes in conjunction with a door (not shown) in the elevator EV. The elevator shaft 24 and the void 34 are connected to each other and are not separated from each other. The elevator shaft 24 and the void 34 may be separated from each other, in which case they are separated by a glass wall. The doors 22A and 24A may be made of a transparent material such as glass or polycarbonate, or may be made of an opaque material such as steel plate.

[0031] (Boyd, Terrace) The elevators EV are divided into banks in the building 10. That is, the building 10 is provided with elevators EV (not shown) that arrive at each floor in the lower floors, elevators EV that arrive at each floor in the middle floors, and elevators EV that arrive at each floor in the upper floors.

[0032] Of these, elevator shafts that house elevators EV that land on each floor in the lower floors are formed only in the lower floors, and voids 32 are formed above the elevator shafts. Voids 32 are solid holes provided adjacent to elevator shafts 22, and are formed from the middle floors to the upper floors of building 10.

[0033] Furthermore, elevator shafts 22 and 24, which house elevators EV that arrive at each floor in the middle floors, are formed from the lower floors to the middle floors.

[0034] Furthermore, elevator shafts accommodating elevators EV that land on each floor in the upper floors are located in voids 34, which are formed from the lower floors to the upper floors. Thus, the term "void" in this invention refers to an open space that spans multiple floors, regardless of whether or not there are elevators EV.

[0035] As described above, the void 32 and the elevator shaft 22 are separated by the glass wall 22C. The void 32 is also provided facing the curtain wall 14A, which is a light-transmitting surface. This allows the void 32 to take in external light into the elevator hall 20 via the elevator shaft 22.

[0036] This void 32 is an open space that extends from the middle floors to the upper floors of the building 10, and has an open upper end, which creates a chimney effect in the void 32, allowing the building 10 to be naturally ventilated.

[0037] The upper end of the void 32 does not have to be open at all times and may be formed to be openable and closable. Also, as long as it is possible to take in outside air, the upper end does not necessarily have to be open and an opening may be provided in the wall surface.

[0038] A terrace 40 is provided in the void 32. The terrace 40 is a slab that can be accessed from a passage 50, and is formed in the center of the void 32 in the Y direction, spanning from the passage 50 to the curtain wall 14A.

[0039] The end of the terrace 40 on the aisle 50 side in the Y direction is formed integrally with the slab of the building 10, and from this end it protrudes into the void 32. The end of the terrace 40 on the curtain wall 14A side is supported by the beams of the building 10.

[0040] Both sides of the terrace 40 in the X direction face the open-ceiling space in the void 32. A handrail (not shown) is installed on the terrace 40 in the part facing the open-ceiling space in the void 32. In addition, planters with plants, benches, chairs, tables, etc. can be installed on the terrace 40.

[0041] Furthermore, terraces 40 are provided every two floors. In the middle floors of building 10, floors where terraces 40 are not provided (floors above and below the floor where terraces 40 are provided) have terraces 42 as shown in FIG. 2. Terrace 42 is a terrace integrated with the slab of building 10, and one side faces void 32. A handrail (not shown) is installed on terrace 42 in the part facing the open-ceiling space of void 32.

[0042] (Void, refreshment space) The void 34 is a hole provided adjacent to the elevator shaft 24. The void 34 is an open-air section that also serves as an elevator shaft that reaches the upper floors. That is, in the middle floors, the elevator EV passes through this void 34. The void 34 is an open space that extends from the lower floors to the upper floors of the building 10.

[0043] As described above, the void 34 and the elevator shaft 24 are not separated. In addition, the void 34 is provided facing the curtain wall 14A, which is a light-transmitting surface. This allows the void 34 to take in external light into the elevator hall 20 via the elevator shaft 24.

[0044] A refreshment space 60 is provided in the core section 14 facing the void 34. The refreshment space 60 is an alcove-shaped rest space facing the passage 50, with one side facing the void 34. A glass wall 62 is installed in the refreshment space 60 in the portion facing the void 34.

[0045] <Action and effect> In the building 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention, external light is introduced into the elevator hall 20 from three sides: the light-transmitting surface (curtain wall 14A) on the outdoor side of the building 10, and the elevator shafts 22 and 24 on both sides. This makes it possible to brighten the space that is mainly used for transportation. This makes it possible to provide a comfortable environment in the spaces in the building 10 other than the rooms 12, which are offices.

[0046] The elevator shafts 22 and 24 are examples of the see-through elevator shafts defined in the present invention. "See-through" means that light can pass through.

[0047] Additionally, in the building 10, a terrace 40 is provided in the void 32 that allows outside air to be taken in. This allows users of the building 10 to be exposed to the outside air while still inside the building. By providing such a space, a comfortable environment can be provided in spaces other than the rooms 12. Furthermore, the terrace 40 can be used as a space for taking a break between work tasks, which can encourage spontaneous communication between users of the building 10.

[0048] Furthermore, in the building 10, terraces 40 are provided every two stories in the voids 32. This increases the openness of the terraces 40, providing a more comfortable environment. Furthermore, since the voids 32 are provided facing the curtain wall 14A, which is a translucent surface on the outdoor side of the building 10, the terraces 40 can be seen from outside. This allows the exterior design of the building 10 to have a distinctive look.

[0049] Furthermore, in the building 10, a refreshment space 60 is provided facing the void 34. The refreshment space 60 is separated from the void 34 by a glass wall, allowing natural light to enter. The refreshment space 60 is also formed in an alcove shape facing the passage 50. This allows users of the building 10 to stop by the refreshment space 60 to take a break while walking along the passage 50. Furthermore, the passage 50 is unlikely to obstruct the flow of pedestrians.

[0050] <Other embodiments> In the above embodiment, the core portion 14 is provided near one side of the outer peripheral surface along the longitudinal direction (X direction) of the building 10, but the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to this. The core portion 14 may also be provided near one side of the outer peripheral surface along the lateral direction (Y direction) of the building 10.

[0051] Furthermore, the core section 14 may be provided on each of the two opposing outer peripheral surfaces of the building 10. In other words, the present invention can also be applied to a building having a "double-ended core" plan format.

[0052] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the terraces 40 are provided every two floors, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the terraces 40 may be provided every three or more floors, or may be provided on all floors where the voids 32 are formed. Increasing the spacing between the terraces 40 can increase the openness of the terraces 40. Narrowing the spacing between the terraces 40 can increase the amount of space that can be used as a rest area.

[0053] Furthermore, it is not necessary to provide the terrace 40 or the refreshment space 60. Even if these spaces are not provided, by taking in outside light into the elevator hall 20, it is possible to provide a comfortable environment in spaces other than the rooms in the building 10.

[0054] In addition, in the above embodiment, the void 34 and the elevator shaft 24 are not separated from each other, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the void 34 and the elevator shaft 24 may be separated from each other by a glass wall. [Explanation of symbols]
