[0129] <9. Entrance of a Northern Building> The entrances of the northern house 360 ​​and the southern house 60 differ in the following respects, but are otherwise identical.

[0130] In the southern house 60, the wall on the south side of the entrance hall 73 is the third exterior wall 63. In contrast, in the northern house 360, the wall 463 on the south side of the entrance hall 73 is a partition wall. The first floor of this wall 463 separates the toilet room 379 from the entrance hall 373, and the second floor of this wall 463 separates the atrium above the entrance hall 373 from the living room 389.

[0131] In the northern house 360, an opening leading from the entrance hall 373 to the corridor 378 is formed in the wall 463 facing south of the entrance hall 373. In contrast, in the southern house 60, no such opening is provided in the third exterior wall 6.

[0132] In the southern house 60, the sink 118 and faucet 119 are installed on the countertop 117, facing the decorative wall 113. In contrast, in the northern house 360, the sink and faucet of the washbasin 416 are installed on the countertop, facing the partition wall.

[0133] In the south house 60, the mirror 120 is located south of the window 121, whereas in the north house 360, the mirror is located north of the window 421.

[0134] In the southern house 60, an opening 101c and a door are provided in the west wall 100 of the entrance hall 73, and the opening 101c and the door allow passage between the entrance hall 73 and the living / dining / kitchen area 75. In contrast, in the northern house 360, such an opening and a door are not provided in the west wall 400 of the entrance hall 73.

[0135] In the southern house 60, a pipe space 123 is installed above the decorative ceiling 112 and close to the wall 103. In contrast, in the northern house 360, no such pipe space is provided.

[0136] The window 421, the clerestory window 422 and the washstand 416 installed at the entrance of the north house 360 ​​correspond to the window 121, the clerestory window 122 and the washstand 116 installed at the entrance of the south house 60, respectively.

[0137] <10. Summary> (1) Because the overhanging slab 24 juts out from the top of the retaining wall 22 toward the slope 2, even if the house 60 is built close to the retaining wall 22, a large outdoor space such as a garden can be created on the high ground above the overhanging slab 24. Residents can enter the outdoor space above the overhanging slab 24, and the outdoor space offers a good view toward the slope 2. Because the house 60 can be built close to the retaining wall 22, the house 60 offers a good view toward the slope 2.

[0138] (2) Since the view from the slope 2 toward the house 60 is blocked by the overhanging floor slab 24 and the rising portion 25, privacy inside the house 60 is protected by the overhanging floor slab 24 and the rising portion 25.

[0139] (3) Because the base slab 23 extends from the lower end of the retaining wall 22 toward the slope 2, the base slab 23 is unlikely to interfere with the construction of the house 60, the columns 51, and the foundation 52. Therefore, the house 60, the columns 51, and the foundation 52 can be constructed closer to the retaining wall 22. Even if the house 60 is constructed closer to the retaining wall 22, the overhanging floor slab 24 provides a large outdoor space on the higher ground above it.

[0140] (4) Because the slab 23 overhangs from the lower end of the retaining wall 22 in the opposite direction of the slope 2, the retaining wall 22 is stabilized and the safety of the retaining wall 22 is improved. The length by which the slab 23 overhangs from the lower end of the retaining wall 22 in the direction of the slope 2 is longer than the length by which the slab 23 overhangs from the lower end of the retaining wall 22 in the opposite direction of the slope 2. This ensures the stability of the retaining wall 22, while preventing the slab 23 from interfering with the construction of the house 60, foundation 52, and columnar body 51 closer to the retaining wall 22.

[0141] (5) The multiple pillars 51 reinforce the ground on the high ground, allowing the foundations 52 and house 60 to be constructed stably on them. Because the base slab 23 extends from the lower end of the retaining wall 22 toward the slope 2, the base slab 23 is less likely to interfere with the construction of the pillars 51. Therefore, the pillars 51, foundations 52, and house 60 can be constructed close to the retaining wall 22. Even if the house 60 is constructed close to the retaining wall 22, the overhanging floor slab 24 provides a large outdoor space on the high ground above it.

[0142] (6) The balcony 98 is installed adjacent to the first exterior wall 61. When the house 60 is constructed close to the retaining wall 22, the balustrade wall 99a of the balcony 98 is parallel to the retaining wall 22 and the rising portion 25, so the balustrade wall 99a, the retaining wall 22, and the rising portion 25 appear to be arranged in an orderly manner. This enhances the aesthetic design of the building 10.

[0143] (7) Because the balustrade wall 99a and the rising portion 25 are the same color, the balustrade wall 99a and the rising portion 25 appear to be arranged in an orderly manner. This enhances the aesthetic design of the building 10.

[0144] (8) The fence 32 helps prevent people in the outdoor space above the overhanging deck 24 from falling.

[0145] (9) If the railing wall 99a is low, the railing can be erected on top of the railing wall 99a. Because the railing is a glass railing and the fence 32 is a glass fence, the fence 32 and the railing are orderly arranged, and the fence 32 and the railing make the railing wall 99a and the rising portion 25 appear orderly. This enhances the aesthetic design of the building 10.

[0146] (10) The decorative ceiling 112 projects from the underside of the earthen floor ceiling 104 toward the space between the hall floors 108, and the washbasin 116 is installed below the projecting portion of the decorative ceiling 112, so that the washbasin 116 is located in the line of flow when returning home or going out. In other words, when returning home, residents can wash their hands at the washbasin 116 immediately after moving from the entrance earthen floor 71 to the entrance hall 73. When going out, residents can get ready at the washbasin 116 and then move from the entrance hall 73 to the entrance earthen floor 71 immediately.

[0147] (11) Because the decorative ceiling 112 is located above the sink 116, it is easy for residents to concentrate on washing their hands or getting ready at the sink 116. Because the decorative ceiling 112 blocks views from above the entrance hall 73, privacy is ensured for those washing their hands or getting ready at the sink 116.

[0148] (12) The entrance hall 73 has an open feel because it is open from the hall floor 108 to the vaulted ceiling 110. The entrance hall 73 has an even more open feel because it is spatially continuous with the area above the decorative ceiling 112. Because the vaulted ceiling 110 is higher than the earthen floor ceiling 104 above the earthen floor 107, when one looks up from the earthen floor 71 above the entrance hall 73, their line of sight is blocked by the earthen floor ceiling 104, and then their line of sight tends to be directed toward the space that spreads out above the earthen floor ceiling 104. This makes the entrance hall 73 stand out as being very open.

[0149] (13) The entrance dirt floor 71 has an open feel because a part of it is open from the hall floor 108 to the dirt floor 107 and the atrium ceiling 110. The entrance dirt floor 71 has an even more open feel because it is spatially continuous with the area above the decorative ceiling 112.

[0150] (14) Partition wall 114 separates the space under decorative ceiling 112 into an area facing earthen floor 107 and an area facing hall floor 108, and washstand 116 is installed in the area facing hall floor 108. Therefore, when looking from entrance earthen floor 71 toward entrance hall 73, the line of sight is blocked by partition wall 114. Therefore, privacy is ensured for those doing tasks such as washing their hands or getting ready at washstand 116.

[0151] (15) Because storage door 115 is provided in the area north of partition wall 114 in the space below decorative ceiling 112, that area can be used as storage space. Because earthen floor 107 extends to the area north of partition wall 114 in the space below decorative ceiling 112, that area can be used as shoe closet 72.

[0152] (16) The decorative wall 113 is attached to the third exterior wall 63 on the south side of the entrance hall 73, and the decorative wall 113 is erected below the edge of the decorative ceiling 112, so that the decorative wall 113 as a fixture accentuates the decorative ceiling 112 as a fixture. These decorative wall 113 and decorative ceiling 112 contribute to improving the aesthetic design of the entrance hall.

[0153] (17) The atrium above the entrance hall 73 is connected to the central hall 91 through the opening 101b in the wall 100, making the entrance hall 73 feel open.

[0154] (18) The decorative ceiling 112 blocks the view from the central hall 91 toward the sink 116, ensuring privacy for those washing their hands or getting ready at the sink 116.

[0155] (19) The second exterior wall 62 is erected opposite the wall 100, and a high window 122 is installed on the second floor of the second exterior wall 62 opposite the opening 101b. This high window 122 contributes to lighting the entrance hall 73 and the central hall 91.

[0156] (20) A window 121 is installed on the first floor of the second exterior wall 62. The window 121 contributes to lighting the area around the washbasin 116.

[0157] (21) A hanging illuminator 130 is suspended from the atrium ceiling 110. The hanging illuminator 130 contributes to lighting the entrance hall 73, the entrance floor 71, and the central hall 91.

[0158] (22) The energy used in the production, disposal, and disposal of wood is less than the energy used in the production, disposal, and disposal of metal or concrete materials. Therefore, if the house is made of wood, the house will contribute to the realization of a carbon-neutral society by achieving carbon neutrality, which essentially eliminates carbon dioxide emissions, and to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
