[Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 5348831 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In the house of Patent Document 1, when taking something in or out of the attic storage, it is necessary to climb up onto the skip floor and take the item in or out of the attic each time. Therefore, taking something in or out is considered to be troublesome.

[0005] Furthermore, since the upper floor storage unit is located on the floor of the upper floor, there is also the problem that the floor area of ​​the house is reduced accordingly.

[0006] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and its main object is to provide a house that can provide storage space that makes it easy to take things in and out while avoiding a reduction in floor area. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In order to solve the above problem, the first invention is a house having a lower floor and an upper floor adjacent to each other, and has as indoor spaces a lower floor space provided on the lower floor, an upper floor space provided on the upper floor, and an open-ceiling space provided across the lower floor and the upper floor, the floor of the open-ceiling space being set at the same height as the floor of the lower floor space, and the ceiling of the open-ceiling space being set at an intermediate height between the floor and ceiling of the upper floor space, and a storage space being provided above the open-ceiling space on the upper floor, and the storage space having a storage opening that opens into the upper floor space adjacent to the storage space.

[0008] According to the first aspect of the present invention, the ceiling of the open-ceiling space spanning the upper and lower floors is set at an intermediate height between the floor and ceiling of the upper floor space, and a storage space is provided above the open-ceiling space on the upper floor. In this case, the storage space is formed using the upper space of the open-ceiling space, which was previously considered dead space, so the floor area of ​​the home is not reduced when providing the storage space. Furthermore, the storage space has a storage opening that opens into the upper floor space adjacent to the storage space, so items can be taken in and out of the storage space from the upper floor space through the storage opening. This makes it possible to provide a storage space that is easy to take in and out of while avoiding a reduction in floor area.

[0009] The second invention is a house according to the first invention, which is a modular house constructed by combining a plurality of rectangular building units each having pillars, ceiling beams, and floor beams. The building units include a pair of open-ceiling units stacked one on top of the other to form the open-ceiling space. Of the pair of open-ceiling units, the ceiling of the open-ceiling unit on the lower floor has a ceiling opening, and the floor of the open-ceiling unit on the upper floor has a floor opening, and the open-ceiling space spans the upper and lower floors through these ceiling openings and floor openings. The open-ceiling unit on the upper floor has a pair of opposing floor beams facing each other across the floor opening, and is equipped with a plurality of pillar-shaped or wall-shaped supports attached to each of the opposing floor beams and having their lower ends fixed to the opposing floor beams, and a shelf section bridged across the supports above the open-ceiling space and forming the underside of the storage space.

[0010] According to a second aspect of the present invention, in a modular house, of a pair of upper and lower atrium units that form an open-ceiling space, the upper atrium unit has a pair of opposing floor beams that face each other across a floor opening for the open-ceiling space. The lower ends of column- or wall-shaped supports are fixed to each opposing floor beam, and a shelf for the storage space is provided above the open-ceiling space, spanning these supports. In this case, the shelf can be conveniently installed using the opposing floor beams that form the floor opening for the open-ceiling space.

[0011] The third invention is a house according to the second invention, wherein the open-ceiling unit on the upper floor has a pair of opposing ceiling beams that face each of the opposing floor beams above and below as the ceiling beams, the support body is a pillar whose lower end is fixed to the opposing floor beams and whose upper end is fixed to the opposing ceiling beams, and the shelf portion is spanned across the middle of each pillar.

[0012] According to the third aspect of the present invention, the shelf section is bridged across the middle of each support pillar, the upper and lower ends of which are fixed to the opposing floor beams and the opposing ceiling beams, respectively. This allows the shelf section to be installed in a stable state.

[0013] A fourth aspect of the present invention is a house according to the third aspect of the present invention, wherein the storage opening is provided on one of the side surfaces of the storage space that is different from the side surface on which the support pillar is provided.

[0014] According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the storage opening is provided on a side surface of the storage space different from the side surface on which the support pillar is provided, so the storage opening is not restricted by the support pillar when it is provided, which increases the degree of freedom in providing the storage opening, such as ensuring a wide storage opening.

[0015] The fifth invention is a house in any one of the second to fourth inventions, wherein the open-ceiling unit on the upper floor has, as the floor beams, a plurality of floor girders connecting the lower ends of adjacent columns, and an intermediate floor beam spanning the middle of the floor girders on a pair of opposing long sides, and the floor opening is formed surrounded by the intermediate floor beam, the floor girders on the short sides, and the floor girders on the pair of long sides, and the intermediate floor beam and the floor girders on the short sides are the opposing floor beams on which the supports are respectively provided.

[0016] According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, in the open-ceiling unit on the upper floor, a floor opening is formed surrounded by an intermediate floor beam, a floor girder on the short side, and a pair of floor girder on the long side. Of these floor beams, supports are provided on the opposing intermediate floor beam and the floor girder on the short side, and a shelf section is spanned across these supports. With this configuration, the open-ceiling space and storage space can be easily set to the desired size by adjusting the position of the intermediate floor beam along the floor girder on the long side.

[0017] A sixth aspect of the present invention is a house according to the fifth aspect of the present invention, wherein the storage opening is open to a side surface on a long side of the open-ceiling unit on the upper floor.

[0018] According to the sixth aspect of the present invention, the storage opening is open on the side surface on the long side of the open-ceiling unit on the upper floor, so that the width of the storage opening can be ensured to be wide. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0020] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In this embodiment, a house is embodied as a two-story modular house. The modular house is constructed by combining a plurality of building units. Figure 1 is a cross-sectional view showing a part of the house.

[0021] As shown in Figure 1, a house 10 has a first floor portion 11 as the lower floor portion, a second floor portion 12 as the upper floor portion, and a roof portion 13 provided above the second floor portion 12. The first floor portion 11 is provided with a first floor space 15 as the lower floor space portion, and the second floor portion 12 is provided with a second floor space 16 as the upper floor space portion. The first floor space 15 is, for example, a hallway, and the second floor space 16 is, for example, a living room. The roof portion 13 is a gable roof.

[0022] The floor 17 of the first floor space 15 and the floor 18 of the second floor space 16 are both floors set at the normal height for each floor. In other words, these floors 17, 18 are not so-called skip floors.

[0023] The house 10 has an open-ceiling space 19 that spans the first floor 11 and the second floor 12. The open-ceiling space 19 serves as, for example, a living room. The open-ceiling space 19 has an open-ceiling opening 24 formed at the boundary between the first floor 11 and the second floor 12, and opens from the first floor 11 to the second floor 12 through the open-ceiling opening 24. The open-ceiling space 19 is adjacent to the first floor space 15 in the first floor 11 and to the second floor space 16 in the second floor 12. A floor 21 of the open-ceiling space 19 is set at the same height as a floor 17 of the first floor space 15. Furthermore, a ceiling 22 of the open-ceiling space 19 is set at an intermediate height between the floor 18 and the ceiling 23 of the second floor space 16.

[0024] In the second floor section 12, a storage space 25 is provided above the atrium space 19. A shelf 26 is provided on the underside of the storage space 25, and it is possible to place items on the shelf 26. In addition, the upper surface (ceiling surface) of the storage space 25 is set at approximately the same height as the ceiling 23 of the second floor space 16.

[0025] The storage space 25 is surrounded on three sides by walls 29. A storage opening 27 that is open to the second-floor space 16 is formed on the remaining side of the storage space 25 where the wall 29 is not provided. Items can be taken in and out of the storage space 25 from the second-floor space 16 through the storage opening 27. Note that a fitting may be provided at the storage opening 27 so that the storage opening 27 can be opened and closed. In addition, a waist wall 28 is provided below the storage opening 27, spanning the shelf 26 and the floor 18 of the second-floor space 16. This waist wall 28 separates the open-ceiling space 19 from the second-floor space 16.

[0026] As described above, the present house 10 is a modular house constructed by combining a plurality of rectangular parallelepiped building units. The following describes the configuration of the building units 30 that make up the modular building. Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing the building unit 30.

[0027] As shown in Figure 2, the building unit 30 has four columns 31 arranged at its four corners, and four ceiling girders 32 and floor girders 33 that connect the upper and lower ends of each column 31, respectively. The columns 31, ceiling girders 32, and floor girders 33 form a rectangular parallelepiped frame. The columns 31 are made of rectangular steel tubes. The ceiling girders 32 and floor girders 33 are made of channel steel with a U-shaped cross section, and are arranged with their openings facing horizontally inward.

[0028] A plurality of ceiling joists 35 are spanned at predetermined intervals between opposing ceiling girders 32 on the long sides of the building unit 30. A plurality of floor joists 36 are spanned at predetermined intervals between opposing floor girders 33 on the long sides of the building unit 30. For example, the ceiling joists 35 are made of lip channel steel, and the floor joists 36 are made of square steel. Although not shown in the figures, the ceiling surface material is supported by the ceiling joists 35, and the floor surface material is supported by the floor joists 36.

[0029] Both the first floor 11 and the second floor 12 of the house 10 are constructed by arranging a plurality of building units 30 side by side. These building units 30 are manufactured in advance at a unit manufacturing factory and transported to the construction site by truck. At the construction site, the house 10 is constructed by installing each of the transported building units 30 in a predetermined position.

[0030] Each building unit 30 that makes up the house 10 includes a pair of upper and lower building units 30A, 30B that form the open-ceiling space 19. The building units 30A, 30B that form the open-ceiling space 19 are partially different in configuration from the normal building unit 30 (building unit 30 in FIG. 2) described above. Therefore, the configuration of these building units 30A, 30B will be described below with reference to FIG. 3. Note that FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the pair of upper and lower building units 30A, 30B that form the open-ceiling space 19. Furthermore, each building unit 30A, 30B corresponds to an open-ceiling unit.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 3, of the building units 30A and 30B, the building unit 30A in the first floor portion 11 has a different ceiling configuration from the building unit 30. In the ceiling portion of the building unit 30A, an intermediate ceiling beam 41 is installed between the middle of each ceiling girder 32 on the opposing long sides. The intermediate ceiling beam 41 is made of the same channel steel as the ceiling girder 32. In the ceiling portion of the building unit 30A, no ceiling joist 35 is installed between the intermediate ceiling beam 41 and the ceiling girder 32 on one short side. Therefore, in the ceiling portion of the building unit 30A, a ceiling opening 43 is formed that is surrounded by the intermediate ceiling beam 41, the ceiling girder 32 on the one short side, and each ceiling girder 32 on the long side. Note that the building unit 30A corresponds to the "lower floor open-ceiling unit."

[0032] On the other hand, the building unit 30B of the second floor portion 12 has different floor and ceiling configurations from the building unit 30. In the floor portion of the building unit 30B, an intermediate floor beam 45 is spanned between the middle of each floor girders 33 on the opposing long sides. The intermediate floor beam 45 is located directly above the intermediate ceiling beam 41 of the building unit 30A and faces the intermediate ceiling beam 41 vertically. The intermediate floor beam 45 is made of the same channel steel as the floor girders 33. In the floor portion of the building unit 30B, no floor joist 36 is provided between the intermediate floor beam 45 and the floor girders 33 on one short side. Therefore, in the floor portion of the building unit 30B, a floor opening 47 is formed that is surrounded by the intermediate floor beam 45, the floor girders 33 on one short side, and each floor girders 33 on the long sides. The floor opening 47 is in vertical communication with the ceiling opening 43 of the building unit 30A, and the open-ceiling opening 24 is formed by these communicating openings 43, 47.

[0033] In the ceiling portion of the building unit 30B, an intermediate ceiling beam 48 is spanned between the middle sections of the ceiling girders 32 on the long sides. The intermediate ceiling beam 48 is positioned directly above the intermediate floor beam 45, and faces the intermediate floor beam 45 from above and below. The building unit 30B corresponds to the "open-ceiling unit on the upper floor."

[0034] A storage space 25 is formed in the building unit 30B of the second floor portion 12. The configuration of the storage space 25 will be described below with reference to Figs. 4 and 5. Fig. 4 is a perspective view showing the configuration of the building unit 30B in which the storage space 25 is provided. For ease of explanation, the ceiling joists 35 and floor joists 36 are not shown in Fig. 4. Fig. 5 is a perspective view showing the shelf boards 55 and support frame 56 that make up the shelf portion 26.

[0035] As shown in FIG. 4, the building unit 30B has floor girders 33 and intermediate floor beams 45 on the short sides facing each other across a floor opening 47. The floor girders 33 and intermediate floor beams 45 correspond to opposing floor beams, respectively. A center column 51 is erected on the floor girders 33, and a center column 52 is erected on the intermediate floor beams 45. The center columns 51 are arranged on both end sides of the floor girders 33, and the center columns 52 are arranged on both end sides of the intermediate floor beams 45, respectively. In this case, each center column 51 and each center column 52 are located at the same position in the longitudinal direction of the floor beams 33, 45. Furthermore, each center column 51, 52 is formed of steel. The center columns 51, 52 correspond to a support and a column.

[0036] The center pillar 51 is provided across the vertically opposing floor girder 33 and ceiling girder 32. The lower end of the center pillar 51 is fixed to the floor girder 33 via a bracket 53, and the upper end is fixed to the ceiling girder 32 via a bracket 53. In this case, the ceiling girder 32 corresponds to the opposing ceiling beam.

[0037] The center pillar 52 is provided across the intermediate floor beam 45 and intermediate ceiling beam 48, which are opposed vertically. The lower end of the center pillar 52 is fixed to the intermediate floor beam 45 via a bracket 53, and the upper end is fixed to the intermediate ceiling beam 48 via a bracket 53. In this case, the intermediate ceiling beam 48 corresponds to the opposed ceiling beam. Note that each center pillar 51, 52 is designed to be assembled in advance to the building unit 30B at the unit manufacturing factory.

[0038] A shelf 26 of the storage space 25 is provided spanning the middle of each center pillar 51, 52. The shelf 26 is disposed above the open-ceiling space 19 and forms the underside of the storage space 25. The size of the shelf 26 is approximately the same as the size of the open-ceiling space 19 in a plan view (in other words, the size of the floor opening 47).

[0039] As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 , the shelf section 26 includes a shelf board 55 and a support frame 56 that supports the shelf board 55 from below. The shelf board 55 is made of a rectangular wooden board. The shelf board 55 is placed on the support frame 56 and fixed to the support frame 56 with screws or the like. The support frame 56 includes a pair of support beams 58 spanning the middle of the opposing center columns 51, 52, and a plurality of small beams 59 spanning between the support beams 58. Each support beam 58 is fixed to the center columns 51, 52 with fixing brackets (not shown). Each support beam 58 and small beam 59 is made of wooden square timber and is connected with nails or the like. A ceiling material (not shown) that forms the ceiling section 22 of the open-ceiling space 19 is attached to the underside of the support frame 56.

[0040] The waist wall portion 28 is disposed along the floor girders 33 on the long side of the building unit 30B. The waist wall portion 28 has a wall frame 28a assembled in a rectangular frame shape and a pair of wall members 28b provided on both sides of the wall frame 28a. The lower end of the wall frame 28a is fixed to the floor girders 33, and the upper end is fixed to the shelf portion 26. A storage opening 27 formed above the waist wall portion 28 opens on the side surface on the long side of the building unit 30B. In this case, the storage opening 27 is formed on one of the side surfaces of the storage space 25 different from the side surface on which the center columns 51, 52 are provided.

[0041] The shelf portion 26 and the waist wall portion 28 are to be assembled to the building unit 30B at the construction site. However, at least one of the shelf portion 26 and the waist wall portion 28 may be assembled to the building unit 30B at a unit manufacturing factory.

[0042] According to the configuration of this embodiment described above in detail, the following excellent effects can be obtained.

[0043] The ceiling 22 of the open-ceiling space 19 spanning the upper and lower floors is set at an intermediate height between the floor 18 and ceiling 23 of the second-floor space 16, and a storage space 25 is provided above the open-ceiling space 19 in the second-floor section 12. In this case, the storage space 25 is formed by utilizing the space above the open-ceiling space 19, which was previously considered dead space, so providing the storage space 25 in the home does not reduce the floor area. Furthermore, the storage space 25 has a storage opening 27 that opens into the second-floor space 16 adjacent to the storage space 25, so items can be taken in and out of the storage space 25 from the second-floor space 16 through the storage opening 27. This makes it possible to provide a storage space 25 that is easy to take in and out of while avoiding a reduction in floor area.

[0044] In this modular house, of the pair of upper and lower building units 30A, 30B that form the open-ceiling space 19, the building unit 30B on the second floor 12 has a floor girder 33 and an intermediate floor beam 45 that face each other across a floor opening 47 for the open-ceiling space. The lower end of a center column 51 is fixed to the floor girder 33, and the lower end of a center column 52 is fixed to the intermediate floor beam 45. A shelf 26 of the storage space 25 is provided above the open-ceiling space 19, spanning between the center columns 51, 52. In this case, the shelf 26 can be suitably installed using the floor beams 33, 45 that form the floor opening 47 for the open-ceiling space.

[0045] The center pillar 51 has its lower end fixed to the floor beam 33 and its upper end fixed to the ceiling beam 32. The center pillar 52 has its lower end fixed to the intermediate floor beam 45 and its upper end fixed to the intermediate ceiling beam 48. The shelf 26 is then bridged between the center pillars 51, 52. This allows the shelf 26 to be installed in a stable state.

[0046] Since the storage opening 27 is provided on a side surface of the storage space 25 that is different from the side surface on which the center pillars 51, 52 are provided, the provision of the storage opening 27 is not restricted by the support pillars. Therefore, the storage opening 27 can be provided with greater freedom, for example, by ensuring a wide storage opening 27.

[0047] In the building unit 30B of the second floor 12, a floor opening 47 is formed surrounded by an intermediate floor beam 45, a floor girder 33 on the short side, and a pair of floor girder 33 on the long side. Of the floor beams 33, 45, center columns 51, 52 are provided on the opposing intermediate floor beam 45 and the floor girder 33 on the short side, respectively, and a shelf section 26 is spanned across these center columns 51, 52. With this configuration, by adjusting the position of the intermediate floor beam 45 along the floor girder 33 on the long side, the open-ceiling space 19 and storage space 25 can be easily set to the desired size.

[0048] Since the storage opening 27 is open on the side surface on the long side of the building unit 30B of the second floor portion 12, the width of the storage opening 27 can be ensured to be wide.

[0049] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and may be implemented, for example, as follows.

[0050] In the above embodiment, the shelf 26 is provided across the center columns 51, 52 (corresponding to supports), but this may be modified. For example, wall-shaped supports may be erected on the floor beams 33 and the intermediate floor beam 45, which serve as opposing floor beams, and the shelf 26 may be provided across these supports.

[0051] In the above embodiment, the center columns 51, 52 are erected on the floor girders 33 and intermediate floor beam 45 as opposing floor beams, but center columns may also be erected on each floor girders 33 on the long sides opposing each other across the floor opening 47. In this case, the shelf section 26 is spanned across these center columns. In this case, each floor girders 33 on the long sides corresponds to an opposing floor beam.

[0052] In the above embodiment, the second floor space 16 adjacent to the storage space 25 is a living room, but the second floor space 16 may be a non-living room such as a hallway.

[0053] In the above embodiment, the roof 13 of the house 10 is a gable roof, but the roof 13 may be a hip roof, a flat roof, or the like. For example, in the case of a flat roof, there is no attic space, so the above-mentioned conventional technology (Patent Document 1) of providing a storage space in the attic cannot be applied. However, according to the present invention, which provides a storage space 25 above the open-ceiling space 19 in the second floor portion 12, it can be applied regardless of whether or not there is an attic.

[0054] In the above embodiment, the present invention is applied to a modular house, but it may also be applied to houses constructed using other construction methods, such as a steel frame construction method or a conventional wooden construction method. [Explanation of symbols]
