Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a building equipped with a shared office.

Background Art

[0002] In recent years, due to the spread of telework (remote work), the number of people working at home or in a shared office near their home has increased, and the concepts of integrated work and residence and proximity of work and residence have attracted attention. For example, in the house described in Patent Document 1, a workspace (work corner) equipped with a counter, shelves, and chairs is adjacent to the living-dining room with an interior window in between. Further, this workspace is also adjacent to a room for storing things, and can store electronic devices for telework and other articles.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] When securing a workspace for telework, users often use a nearby shared office or install a workspace in their home as in Patent Document 1, which places a heavy burden on the users. That is, if the shared office is located far from the home or workplace, the time, cost, physical condition, and bad weather for traveling to that location become a burden, and the legs may gradually become weak. In addition, to install a workspace in the home, it is necessary to build a house designed as such or carry out renovation work, which places a particularly heavy burden in terms of cost.

[0005] This invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and aims to provide a user-friendly building in which residences, shared offices, and facilities with a higher degree of public access than shared offices coexist, while ensuring easy security. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The invention described in claim 1 is a building 1 equipped with a shared office 31, as shown in Figures 1 to 8, The first area 2 is located on the upper floor level, The second area 4 is located on the floors including the ground floor, An intermediate area 3 is provided in the hierarchy between the first area 2 and the second area 4, A lifting mechanism 6 for the first area for moving between the outside and the first area 2, It includes an intermediate area lifting mechanism 8 for moving back and forth between the second area 4 and the intermediate area 3, The aforementioned first area 2 includes at least one residence 21, The aforementioned intermediate area 3 includes at least the aforementioned shared office 31, The second area 4 is characterized by including facilities with a higher degree of public access than the shared office 31 (such as common areas 41 and shops 42).

[0007] According to the invention described in claim 1, since building 1 is a building in which residences 21, a shared office 31, and facilities 41 and 42 that are more public than the shared office 31 coexist, it is possible to realize work-life integration and proximity of work-life, and the burden on users can be reduced. Furthermore, an intermediate area 3, which includes a shared office 31 that is more public than the residences 21 but less public than the facilities 41 and 42, is located between the first area 2, which includes residences 21, and the second area 4, which includes facilities 41 and 42. In other words, the building 1 is arranged so that the publicness gradually increases from the upper floors to the lower floors, with the first area 2 being a private area, the intermediate area 3 being a semi-private (semi-public) area, and the second area 4 being a public area. This makes the building more user-friendly than a building where these areas are mixed, and also makes it easier to ensure the security of the private first area 2 and the semi-private intermediate area 3.

[0008] The invention described in claim 2 is, for example, as shown in Figures 1 to 8, in the building 1 described in claim 1, The aforementioned first area 2 is an area where only the first user utilizing the first area 2 is permitted to stay. The aforementioned intermediate area 3 is an area where only the third user using the intermediate area 3 and the first user are permitted to stay. The second area 4 is characterized in that it is an area where the stay of the second user using the second area 4, the first user, and the third user is permitted.

[0009] According to the invention described in claim 2, since the person who can stay in the first area 2 is limited to the first user, the security of the first area 2 can be enhanced. Furthermore, since access to Intermediate Area 3 is limited to the first and third users, security in Intermediate Area 3 can be enhanced.

[0010] The invention described in claim 3 is, for example, as shown in Figures 1 to 8, in the building 1 described in claim 2, The first area 2 and the lifting mechanism 6 for the first area are accessible from each other through the entrance / exit 7 for the first area. The entrance / exit 7 for the first area is characterized in that only the first user is permitted to pass from the lifting / lowering means 6 for the first area to the first area 2.

[0011] According to the invention described in claim 3, since the person who can enter the first area 2 through the lifting means 6 for the first area is limited to the first user, security in the first area 2 can be enhanced.

[0012] The invention described in claim 4 is, for example, as shown in Figures 1 to 7, in the building 1 described in claim 2, The intermediate area 3 and the lifting means 6 for the first area are accessible from each other through the entrance / exit 9 for the intermediate area. The aforementioned entrance / exit 9 for the intermediate area is characterized in that only the first user is permitted to pass from the intermediate area 3 to the lifting / lowering means 6 for the first area.

[0013] According to the invention described in claim 4, the person who can enter the first area 2 from the intermediate area 3 through the first area lifting means 6 is limited to the first user, thus enhancing security in the first area 2.

[0016] Claim 5 The invention described above, for example as shown in Figure 5(b), in the building 1 described in claim 1, The aforementioned intermediate area 3 includes an office 32 which serves as a workplace. The aforementioned office 32 and the aforementioned shared office 31 are characterized in that they are located on the same floor.

[0017] Claim 5 According to the invention described above, not only the shared office 31 but also the office 32 will coexist with the residence 21, thus realizing work-life integration and proximity of work-life, and reducing the burden on users. In addition, the shared office 31 can be used as the free space of the office 32. Furthermore, the shared office 31 is provided on the same floor as the office 32 and is easily accessible from the office 32, so that a novel workplace (office 32) with a user-friendly free space can be provided.

[0018] According to the invention of claim 6 As shown in FIGS. 1 to 8 for example, in the building 1 according to claim 1, As the lifting means 6 for the first area, a staircase 6a for the first area and an elevator 6b for the first area are provided. The lifting means 8 for the middle area is characterized by including a staircase 8a for the middle area.

[0019] According to the invention of claim 6 As a means for accessing the first area 2 provided on the upper floor side, an elevator and a staircase can be selected, so it is user-friendly.

[0020] According to the invention of claim 7 As shown in FIGS. 1 to 8 for example, in the building 1 according to claim 1, The dwelling 21 is characterized by having a workspace WS equipped with at least a desk and a chair. According to the invention described in claim 7, since the residence 21 is equipped with a workspace WS in advance, the burden on the user can be reduced.

[0021] The invention according to claim 8 For example, as shown in Figures 1 to 8, Building 1 is equipped with a shared office 31, First area 2, which includes at least residence 21, The second area 4 is located on the floors including the ground floor, At least the intermediate area 3 including the shared office 31, A lifting mechanism 6 for the first area for moving between the outside and the first area 2, It includes an intermediate area lifting mechanism 8 for moving back and forth between the second area 4 and the intermediate area 3, The aforementioned first area 2 is located on a floor higher than the aforementioned second area 4, and spans multiple floors. <时 The aforementioned second area 4 includes facilities with a higher degree of public access than the aforementioned shared office 31 (such as common areas 41 and shops 42), The first area 2 includes a first area A located on a floor where the intermediate area 3 is not provided, and a first area B located on a floor where the first area A is not provided. The aforementioned intermediate area 3 is located in the layer between the first area A and the second area 4, and is not located between the first area B and the second area 4. The aforementioned first area B includes office 22 as a workplace, The first area B is provided on the same floor as the intermediate area 3, thereby enabling the office 22 and the shared office 31 to be located on the same floor. According to the invention described in claim 8, since building 1 is a building in which residences 21, a shared office 31, and facilities 41 and 42 that are more public than the shared office 31 coexist, it is possible to realize work-life integration and proximity of work-life, and the burden on users can be reduced. Furthermore, an intermediate area 3, which includes a shared office 31 that is more public than the residences 21 but less public than the facilities 41 and 42, is located between the first area 2, which includes residences 21, and the second area 4, which includes facilities 41 and 42. In other words, the building 1 is arranged so that the publicness gradually increases from the upper floors to the lower floors, with the first area 2 being a private area, the intermediate area 3 being a semi-private (semi-public) area, and the second area 4 being a public area. This makes the building more user-friendly than a building where these areas are mixed, and also makes it easier to ensure the security of the private first area 2 and the semi-private intermediate area 3. Furthermore, since not only shared office 31 but also office 22 will coexist with residence 21, it will be possible to realize work-life integration and proximity of work and residence, thereby reducing the burden on users. Furthermore, shared office 31 can be used as a free space for office 22, and since shared office 31 is located on the same floor as office 22 and easily accessible from office 22, it is possible to provide an innovative workplace (office 22) with a user-friendly free space. [Effects of the Invention]

[0022] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a user-friendly building in which residences, shared offices, and facilities with a higher degree of public access than shared offices coexist, while also ensuring easy security. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[Figure 7] This is a plan cross-sectional view showing the 3rd, 4th, and 5th floors of the building in Example 3. [Figure 8] This figure shows a modified example of the building of Example 3, and is a plan cross-sectional view showing the first floor and the second floor. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0024] Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. However, the embodiments described below are subject to various technically preferred limitations for carrying out the present invention, but the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments and illustrated examples.

[0025] <Basic configuration> In Figure 1, reference numeral 1 indicates a building. This building 1 is a five-story mid-rise building. However, building 1 is not limited to a five-story mid-rise building; any mid-to-high-rise building of three stories or more is acceptable. As shown in Figure 1, building 1 comprises a first area 2 located on the upper floors, a second area 4 located on the floors including the ground floor, and an intermediate area 3 located on the floors between the first area 2 and the second area 4.

[0026] Area 2 is an area that includes at least residence 21, and is an area where only the primary user of Area 2 is permitted to stay. In other words, the primary user is the resident of residence 21 (and those permitted to stay by the resident). Area 2 may also include office 22 as a workplace, in which case the primary user includes not only the resident of residence 21 but also those who work at office 22. In this embodiment, the first area 2 is provided on the 3rd to 5th floors of building 1, but it is not limited to this. That is, the first area 2 may be an area provided on a floor higher than the second area 4, and it may be an area provided on a single floor, or an area provided across multiple floors.

[0027] Intermediate Area 3 is an area that includes at least the shared office 31, and is an area where only first users using the first area 2 and third users using intermediate area 3 are permitted to stay. Here, third users are members of the shared office 31 (except for first users). In other words, the shared office 31 in intermediate area 3 is available to first users even if they are not members. Intermediate Area 3 may also include office 32 as a workplace, in which case third users include not only members of the shared office 31 but also those who work at office 32.

[0028] Furthermore, the shared office 31 in the intermediate area 3 is not limited to membership-based shared offices; it may also be a shared office available for temporary use. In other words, a third user is anyone who has obtained permission to use shared office 31 (excluding the first user). Furthermore, in this embodiment, the intermediate area 3 is provided on the second floor of building 1, but it is not limited to this. That is, the intermediate area 3 may be an area provided on a floor between the first area 2 and the second area 4, or it may be an area provided on a single floor, or it may be an area provided across multiple floors.

[0029] Area 4 is an area that includes facilities with a higher degree of public access than shared office space 31 (such as common areas 41 and shops 42), and is an area where stays are permitted for first users using Area 2, third users using Intermediate Area 3, and second users using Area 4. A second user is anyone who is neither a first user nor a third user. In other words, Area 4 is available for use by everyone.

[0030] Furthermore, if store 42 included in the second area 4 is a membership-based store, users (second-party users) who use store 42 may be limited to members of store 42. In other words, the second area 4 may not be available to everyone. Also, membership-based stores may be included in the intermediate area 3, in which case the second area 4 will be available to everyone. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the second area 4 is provided on the first floor of building 1, but it is not limited to this. That is, the second area 4 may be an area provided on a floor including the ground floor (first floor), or it may be an area provided on a single floor, or it may be an area provided across multiple floors.

[0031] The second area 4 (shops 42, etc.) is accessible from the outside of building 1 via the second external entrance 5b. In other words, building 1 is equipped with the second external entrance 5b as an entrance that connects the outside with the second area 4 (shops 42, etc.). Furthermore, on the first floor of building 1, in addition to the second area 4 (common areas 41 and shops 42, etc.), there is an entrance 11, and the entrance 11 is accessible from the outside of building 1 via the first external entrance 5a. In other words, building 1 is equipped with the first external entrance 5a as an entrance that connects the outside with the entrance 11. And at the back of the entrance 11, there is a lifting mechanism 6 for the first area. Therefore, the first external entrance 5a can be rephrased as an entrance that connects the outside with the lifting mechanism 6 for the first area.

[0032] Building 1 is equipped with a lifting mechanism 6 for the first area that extends from the first floor to the fifth floor (from the ground floor to the first area 2). In addition, the third to fifth floors of Building 1 are each provided with an entrance / exit 7 for the first area that connects the lifting mechanism 6 for the first area to the first area 2. Furthermore, the entrance / exit 7 for the first area may be an entrance / exit where only specific users (for example, the first user) are permitted to pass from the lifting mechanism 6 side for the first area to the first area 2 side. In other words, the entrance / exit 7 for the first area may be an entrance / exit where a key is required to pass from the lifting mechanism 6 side for the first area to the first area 2 side, but no key is required for passage in the reverse direction (passing from the first area 2 side to the lifting mechanism 6 side for the first area). The key can be appropriately selected from various types such as insert type, contact type, contactless type, biometric authentication type, or PIN code type. Alternatively, the entrance / exit 7 for the first area may be an entrance / exit where only specific users are permitted to pass from the lifting / lowering mechanism 6 side for the first area to the first area 2 side, and to pass from the first area 2 side to the lifting / lowering mechanism 6 side for the first area.

[0033] Building 1 is equipped with an intermediate area lifting mechanism 8 that extends from the first floor to the second floor (from the ground floor to the intermediate area 3). Additionally, an intermediate area entrance 9 is provided on the second floor of Building 1, connecting the first area lifting mechanism 6 to the intermediate area 3. Furthermore, the intermediate area entrance / exit 9 may be an entrance / exit where only specific users (for example, the first user) are permitted to pass from the intermediate area 3 side to the first area lifting mechanism 6 side. In other words, the intermediate area entrance / exit 9 may be an entrance / exit where a key is required to pass from the intermediate area 3 side to the first area lifting mechanism 6 side, but no key is required for passage in the reverse direction (passage from the first area lifting mechanism 6 side to the intermediate area 3 side). The key can be appropriately selected from various types such as insert type, contact type, contactless type, biometric authentication type, or PIN code type. Alternatively, the entrance / exit 9 for the intermediate area may be an entrance / exit where only specific users are permitted to pass from the first area lifting mechanism 6 side to the intermediate area 3 side, and to pass from the intermediate area 3 side to the first area lifting mechanism 6 side, at least one of the two.

[0034] The means of lifting / lowering for the first area 6 may be a staircase (staircase for the first area 6a) or an elevator (elevator for the first area 6b). If the means of accessing the first area 6 is a staircase, the entrance to the stairwell where the staircase is installed may be designated as the entrance to the first area 7 or the entrance to the intermediate area 9. Furthermore, if the lifting means 6 for the first area is an elevator, the entrance / exit connecting the inside of the elevator to the elevator hall may be designated as the entrance / exit 7 for the first area or the entrance / exit 9 for the intermediate area.

[0035] The method of restricting access to entrance / exit 7 for the first area to specific users can be selected as appropriate. For example, one method (first method) may involve installing a security gate at the entrance / exit 7 for the first area, which is configured to allow only specific users to pass through. Alternatively, a second method may be to install a door with a security lock that can only be unlocked by specific users (i.e., a door with a security lock that requires a key to unlock) at the entrance / exit 7 for the first area. Furthermore, if the lifting means 6 for the first area is an elevator, and the entrance / exit 7 for the first area is an entrance / exit that connects the inside of the elevator to the elevator hall, then a third method may be used, in which an operation panel (floor buttons, etc.) is installed in the elevator that is configured to be operated only by specific users.

[0036] A method for making the intermediate area entrance / exit 9 accessible only to specific users can also be appropriately selected. For example, this could be the same method as the first method, the same method as the second method, or the same method as the third method. Furthermore, in the embodiments described later, entrances other than the entrance 7 for the first area and the entrance 9 for the intermediate area that can only be used by specific users (entrances 5a, 22a, 15, 32a, 5c, 19, etc.) will also be explained. The method for making entrances other than the entrance 7 for the first area and the entrance 9 for the intermediate area passable only by specific users can also be appropriately selected. For example, it may be the same method as the first method, the same method as the second method, or the same method as the third method. Furthermore, entrances that are only accessible to specific users, such as entrance 7 for the first area and entrance 9 for the intermediate area, should preferably switch to an emergency mode that allows access to users other than the specified ones in the event of an emergency (for example, a fire in building 1).

[0037] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 1, the first floor of building 1 is provided with a second area 4, which is an area accessible to the first, second, and third users (an area not restricted to specific users, a highly public area). Specifically, the first floor of building 1 is provided with the second area 4, which includes common areas 41 such as pilotis and shops 42 such as cafes. Furthermore, on the second floor of Building 1, there is an intermediate area 3, which is accessible only to the first and third users (an area with more restricted users than the second area 4). Specifically, on the second floor of Building 1, there is a shared office 31 as intermediate area 3. Alternatively, intermediate area 3 may include a coworking space instead of (or in addition to) the shared office 31.

[0038] Furthermore, the third to fifth floors of Building 1 are designated as First Area 2, an area accessible only to the primary user (an area with more restricted users than Intermediate Area 3). Specifically, the third to fifth floors of Building 1 comprise multiple residences 21 as First Area 2. Note that the residences 21 included in First Area 2 do not necessarily have to be multiple. In other words, a single building 1 may have multiple residences 21, or it may have only one residence 21.

[0039] Residences 21 and shared offices 31 each have a workspace WS equipped with at least a desk and chair. In other words, the first area 2 and the intermediate area 3 are equipped with workspace WS. As shown in Figure 1, if multiple residences 21 are provided in one building 1, it is sufficient that at least one of the multiple residences 21 has a workspace WS. Area 4 does not necessarily have workspaces (WS), but depending on the business model of store 42, it may have desks (tables) and chairs that can be used as workspaces (WS).

[0040] Furthermore, an office used as a workplace may be included in either the first area 2 or the intermediate area 3. Since an office used as a workplace is an area with more limited users than shared office 31, if classification is based on shared office 31, then office 22 is included in the first area 2. Also, since an office used as a workplace is an area with less limited users than residence 21, if classification is based on residence 21, then office 32 is included in the intermediate area 3.

[0041] Of the three areas—the first area 2 including residences 21, the intermediate area 3 including shared offices 31, and the second area 4 including shops 42—the first area 2 has the lowest level of public accessibility, while the second area 4 has the highest. Therefore, the first area 2 can be described as a private area (private zone), and the second area 4 can be described as a public area (public zone). Furthermore, the intermediate area 3 has a higher level of public accessibility than the first area 2 and a lower level of public accessibility than the second area 4, so it can be described as a semi-public area (semi-public zone). Thus, in this embodiment, building 1 has a first area 2 (3rd to 5th floors) which is a private area, a second area 4 (1st floor) which is a public area, and an intermediate area 3 (2nd floor) which is a semi-public area between them. As shown in Figure 1, the public nature of the area gradually increases from the upper floors to the lower floors.

[0042] In recent years, the concept of a "third place" has been gaining attention. The first place refers to one's home, and the second place refers to one's workplace (or school). A third place refers to a third location that is neither home nor work (or school) where one can spend time feeling comfortable. Furthermore, the concept of a third place has been applied to the workplace, and third-place offices are becoming more widely known along with the spread of work-style reforms (for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 2022-011641). In this embodiment, the residence 21 corresponds to the first place, and the offices 22 and 32 correspond to the second place. Furthermore, the shared office 31 corresponds to the third place office. Therefore, if the first area 2 includes the office 22, or if the intermediate area 3 includes the office 32, then a single building 1 will provide all three types of spaces: the first place, the second place, and the third place.

[0043] <Examples> The following describes an embodiment of Building 1. Elements common to the basic configuration described above are denoted by the same reference numerals, and their explanations are omitted or simplified. Note that the directions (east, west, north, south) in the following embodiments and illustrations are set solely for the purpose of explanation.

[0044] <Example 1> Example 1 will be described with reference to Figures 2 to 4. In this embodiment, building 1 has shops 42 located in the second area 4 on the first floor, a shared office 31 located in the intermediate area 3 and an office 22 located in the first area 2 on the second floor, and residences 21 located in the first area 2 on the third floor and above.

[0045] Specifically, in this embodiment, as shown in Figure 2(a), a common area 41 and shops 42, which are part of the second area 4, are provided on the first floor. The common area 41 is located on the south side (front side) of the building 1. In addition, there are two shops 42, one of which is located on the west side of the building 1, and the other shop 42 is located on the east side of the building 1. A second external entrance 5b is provided between the common area 41 and the western store 42, connecting the outside of building 1 to the western store 42. Furthermore, a second external entrance 5b is provided between the common area 41 and the eastern store 42, connecting the outside of building 1 to the eastern store 42.

[0046] Furthermore, an entrance 11 is provided on the first floor. The entrance 11 is located between the western store 42 and the eastern store 42. Between the common area 41 and the entrance 11, there is a first external entrance 5a that connects the outside of the building 1 to the entrance 11. To the east, beyond the entrance 11 to the north, there is a first area staircase 6a and a first area elevator 6b that extend up to the 5th floor, which serve as the means of access for the first area 6.

[0047] The western store 42 is provided with an intermediate area access means 8, which is an intermediate area staircase 8a that leads up to the shared office 31 on the second floor. This allows direct access from the western store 42 to the shared office 31. In this embodiment, the shared office 31 does not have to be a membership-based shared office; for example, it could be a shared office that can be used by people who purchase goods at the western store 42 (e.g., a cafe). A corridor (including an elevator hall) 12 is provided between the eastern store 42 and the elevator mechanism 6 for the first area. The first external entrance 5a is restricted to a specific user, allowing only the primary user to pass from the common area 41 to the entrance 11. Furthermore, although the eastern shop 42 is adjacent to the corridor 12, access between them is prohibited. In other words, the elevator 6 for the first area is only available for use by the primary user. Furthermore, the first external entrance 5a may also require a lock for passage in the reverse direction (from entrance 11 to common area 41).

[0048] As shown in Figure 2(b), the second floor includes a shared office 31 and an inner terrace 33, which are part of the intermediate area 3. The shared office 31 and inner terrace 33 are located on the west side of building 1 (above the western shop 42). Furthermore, an office 22, which is part of the first area 2, is located on the second floor. Office 22 is located on the east side of building 1 (above the eastern store 42). A corridor (including the elevator hall) 13 is provided between office 22 and the elevator means 6 for the first area, and an entrance / exit 22a is provided between office 22 and corridor 13, connecting office 22 and corridor 13. Only users of office 22 can access office 22 from corridor 13 through entrance / exit 22a of office 22. Note that a key may also be required for passage in the reverse direction (from office 22 to corridor 13).

[0049] Corridor 13 continues to shared office 31, and at the boundary between corridor 13 and shared office 31, there is an intermediate area entrance 9 that connects the first area's lifting mechanism 6 and the intermediate area 3. The intermediate area entrance 9 is restricted to specific users, specifically the first user, who can pass from shared office 31 to corridor 13. Note that a key may also be required for passage in the reverse direction (from corridor 13 to shared office 31).

[0050] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, residences 21, which are part of the first area 2, are located on the 3rd to 5th floors. In other words, the 3rd to 5th floors are designated as the first area 2, a residential zone, with the lower part of the residential zone (3rd and 4th floors) being rental units and the upper part (5th floor) being owner-occupied units. That is, the upper part (5th floor) is an area with more limited users than the lower part (3rd and 4th floors).

[0051] As shown in Figure 3, the rental housing section (3rd and 4th floors) has three residences 21. Specifically, there is a flat-type residence 21 on the 3rd floor, a flat-type residence 21 on the 4th floor, and a maisonette-type residence 21 spanning the 3rd and 4th floors. The flat-type residence 21 on the 3rd floor is equipped with a workspace WS. As shown in Figure 4, the owner's residential area (5th floor) includes a residence 21 with a skip floor (5.5th floor). A workspace WS is installed on this skip floor.

[0052] On each of the 3rd to 5th floors, a corridor (including an elevator hall) 14 is provided between the residence 21 and the elevator mechanism 6 for the first area. Between the elevator mechanism 6 for the first area and the corridor 14, there is an entrance / exit 7 for the first area that connects the elevator mechanism 6 for the first area to the first area 2. Only specific users, such as residents of the residence 21, are permitted to pass through the entrance / exit 7 from the elevator mechanism 6 for the first area to the corridor 14. A key may also be required for passage in the reverse direction (from the corridor 14 to the elevator mechanism 6 for the first area).

[0053] In this embodiment, the entrance to the stairwell where the first area staircase 6a is installed (the entrance located on the 3rd to 5th floors) is designated as the first area entrance 7. The entrance to the stairwell on the 3rd to 5th floors is equipped with a door (not shown) that has a security lock, which is set to be unlockable only by the user of the residence 21. Furthermore, the entrance / exit connecting the elevator 6b for the first area and the corridor 14 is also designated as the entrance / exit 7 for the first area. The elevator 6b for the first area is equipped with a control panel (not shown) that is configured to allow, for example, only residents of residence 21 to press the floor buttons for the residential zone (3rd to 5th floors).

[0054] The primary users, namely residents of Residence 21 (residents of Residence 21, etc.) and users of Office 22 (those who work at Office 22, etc.), can move between the first floor and the shared office 31 using the intermediate area staircase 8a. Furthermore, the first user can move between the first floor and office 22 using the stairs 6a and elevator 6b for the first area. Furthermore, since the first user can pass through the intermediate area entrance 9, they can move between the first floor and office 22 using the intermediate area staircase 8a, or between the first floor and shared office 31 using the first area staircase 6a or the first area elevator 6b.

[0055] Furthermore, among the primary users, those residing in residence 21 can use the entrance / exit 7 for the primary area, and can therefore travel between the first floor (or second floor) and the residential zone using the stairs 6a or elevator 6b for the primary area. On the other hand, among the primary users, those using office 22 cannot pass through the entrance / exit 7 for the primary area, and therefore cannot enter the residential zone. In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism 6 for the primary area can be used not only by residents of residence 21 but also by residents of office 22. However, by restricting passage through the entrance / exit 7 for the primary area, security in the residential zone is enhanced by preventing residents of office 22 from entering the residential zone. Alternatively, multiple elevators 6b for the first area may be installed, with one of them designated as an elevator usable only by residents of residence 21, and the remaining elevators being usable only by office 22 users.

[0056] Third-party users, specifically those using shared office 31, can move between the first floor and shared office 31 using the intermediate area staircase 8a. Second and third users cannot pass through the intermediate area entrance 9. Furthermore, second and third users cannot pass through the first external entrance 5a, and therefore cannot use the first area staircase 6a or the first area elevator 6b. Consequently, second and third users cannot enter the office zone (east side of the second floor) or the residential zone (third to fifth floors). In this embodiment, restrictions are placed on passage through the intermediate area entrance 9 and the first external entrance 5a to prevent users other than the first user (second and third users) from entering the residential and office zones, thereby enhancing security in the residential and office zones.

[0057] Furthermore, in order for a third user to reach the shared office 31, it may be possible to provide not only a route from the second area 4 side (a route using the stairs 8a for the intermediate area) but also a route from the first area 2 side (a route using the elevator 6 for the first area). In addition, the route from the first area 2 side may be further divided into a route from the office zone side and a route from the residential zone side. Furthermore, in addition to (or instead of) the stairs 8a for the intermediate area, an elevator for the intermediate area may be provided as a means of lifting and lowering that can be used by a third user (means of lifting and lowering for the intermediate area 8).

[0058] <Example 2> Example 2 will be described with reference to Figure 5. Building 1 in this embodiment differs from Embodiment 1 primarily in that the office space, which serves as the workplace, is located in the intermediate area 3 rather than the first area 2. The following will focus on explaining the differences from Embodiment 1. In this embodiment, building 1 has shops 42 located in the second area 4 on the first floor, a shared office 31 located in the intermediate area 3 and an office 32 located in the intermediate area 3 on the second floor, and residences 21 located in the first area 2 on the third floor and above.

[0059] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 5(a), an intermediate staircase 8a extending to the second floor is provided at the entrance 11 on the first floor as an intermediate area access means 8. Therefore, not only first users (users of residence 21) but also third users (users of shared office 31 and office 32) use the entrance 11. For this reason, the first external entrance 5a is restricted to first users and third users only, allowing them to pass from the common area 41 to the entrance 11. Note that a key may also be required for passage in the reverse direction (from the entrance 11 to the common area 41).

[0060] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 5(a), a door is provided at the entrance 15 that connects the corridor 12, which is located between the eastern store 42 and the lifting mechanism 6 for the first area, to the entrance 11. Only the first user, as a specific user, is allowed to pass through the entrance 15 from the entrance 11 to the corridor 12. In addition, although the eastern store 42 is adjacent to the corridor 12, it is not possible to move between them. As a result, only the first user is able to use the lifting mechanism 6 for the first area. Furthermore, entrance 15 may also require a lock for passage in the reverse direction (from corridor 12 to entrance 11).

[0061] As shown in Figure 5(b), the second floor includes a shared office 31, an office 32 for work, and a sunroom 34, all located within the intermediate area 3. A corridor 13 is provided between the office 32 and the elevator 6 for the first area, and an entrance 32a connecting the office 32 and the corridor 13 is provided between the office 32 and the corridor 13. Only users of the office 32 can access the entrance 32a from the corridor 13 to the office 32. A key may also be required for passage in the reverse direction (from the office 32 to the corridor 13).

[0062] Furthermore, an intermediate area entrance 9 is provided between the first area lifting mechanism 6 and the corridor 13, connecting the first area lifting mechanism 6 and the intermediate area 3. The intermediate area entrance 9 is restricted to specific users, specifically the first user, allowing passage from the corridor 13 to the first area lifting mechanism 6. Note that a key may also be required for passage in the reverse direction (from the first area lifting mechanism 6 to the corridor 13). In this embodiment, the entrance to the stairwell where the first area staircase 6a is installed (the entrance on the second floor) is designated as the intermediate area entrance 9. The entrance to the stairwell on the second floor is equipped with a door that has a security lock that can only be unlocked by, for example, the first user (the occupant of residence 21). Furthermore, the entrance / exit connecting the elevator 6b for the first area and the corridor 13 is designated as the entrance / exit 9 for the intermediate area. The elevator 6b for the first area is equipped with a control panel (not shown) that is configured so that, for example, only the first user (resident of residence 21) can press the floor buttons. Although not shown in the diagram, similar to Building 1 in Example 1, residences 21, which are part of the first area 2, are located on the 3rd to 5th floors.

[0063] The primary users, the residents of residence 21 (such as the inhabitants of residence 21), can move between the first and second floors using the intermediate area staircase 8a. Furthermore, since the first user can pass through the entrance / exit 9 for the intermediate area, they can move between the first and second floors using the stairs 6a for the first area or the elevator 6b for the first area. Furthermore, since the first user can pass through the entrance / exit 7 for the first area, they can move between the first floor (or second floor) and the residential zone using the stairs 6a or elevator 6b for the first area.

[0064] Third-party users, including those using shared office 31 and office 32 (those working in office 32, etc.), can move between the first and second floors using the intermediate area staircase 8a. Second and third users cannot pass through entrance / exit 9 for the intermediate area. Also, since second and third users cannot pass through entrance / exit 15, they cannot use the stairs 6a or elevator 6b for the first area. Therefore, second and third users cannot move between the first and second floors using the stairs 6a or elevator 6b for the first area, nor can they enter the residential zone (floors 3-5). Thus, in this embodiment, access to the intermediate area entrances 9 and 15 is restricted to prevent users other than the first user (second and third users) from entering the residential zone, thereby enhancing security in the residential zone.

[0065] Furthermore, in order for a third user to reach the second floor, it may be possible to provide not only the route using the intermediate area staircase 8a, but also the route using the first area lifting mechanism 6. In this case, the use of the route using the first area lifting mechanism 6 may be limited to only those third users who are employees of office 32. Furthermore, in addition to (or instead of) the stairs 8a for the intermediate area, an elevator for the intermediate area may be provided as a means of lifting and lowering that can be used by a third user (means of lifting and lowering for the intermediate area 8).

[0066] <Example 3> Example 3 will be described with reference to Figures 6 to 8. In this embodiment, building 1 has shops 42 located on the first floor, which are part of the second area 4; a shared office 31 located on the second floor, which is part of the intermediate area 3; and residences 21 located on the third floor and above, which are part of the first area 2.

[0067] Specifically, in this embodiment, as shown in Figure 6(a), a common area 41 and a shop 42, which are part of the second area 4, are provided on the first floor. The common area 41 is located on the south side (front side) of the building 1. A second external entrance 5b is provided between the common area 41 and the shop 42, connecting the outside of the building 1 to the shop 42.

[0068] Furthermore, a ramp 16 is provided on the first floor, which is continuous with the common area 41. The ramp 16 is located on the east side of building 1. The ramp 16 may be part of the common area 41. In other words, the ramp 16 may be included in the second area 4. An entrance 11 is located on the west side at the end of the slope 16, which extends north. The entrance 11 is located on the north side of building 1. Between the slope 16 and the entrance 11, there is a first external entrance 5a that connects the outside of building 1 to the entrance 11. At the back of the entrance 11, there is a first area staircase 6a and a first area elevator 6b, which extend up to the 5th floor, as means of lifting and lowering for the first area 6.

[0069] The store 42 is equipped with an intermediate area access means 8, which is an intermediate area staircase 8a that leads up to the shared office 31 on the second floor. This allows direct access from the store 42 to the shared office 31. In this embodiment, the shared office 31 does not have to be a membership-based shared office; for example, it could be a shared office that can be used by people who purchase goods at the store 42 (e.g., a cafe). A corridor (including an elevator hall) 17 is provided between the store 42 and the elevator mechanism 6 for the first area. The first external entrance 5a is restricted to specific users only, allowing access from ramp 16 to entrance 11. Furthermore, although store 42 is adjacent to corridor 17, access between them is prohibited. In other words, the lifting mechanism 6 for the first area is only available for use by the first user. Furthermore, the first external entrance 5a may also require a lock for passage in the reverse direction (from entrance 11 to ramp 16).

[0070] As shown in Figure 6(b), a shared office 31, which is included in the intermediate area 3, is located on the second floor. A corridor (including an elevator hall) 18 is provided between the shared office 31 and the elevator mechanism 6 for the first area, and an entrance / exit 9 for the intermediate area is provided between the elevator mechanism 6 for the first area and the corridor 18, connecting the elevator mechanism 6 for the first area and the intermediate area 3. The entrance / exit 9 for the intermediate area is restricted to specific users, specifically the first user, who can pass from the corridor 18 to the elevator mechanism 6 for the first area. Note that a key may also be required for passage in the reverse direction (from the elevator mechanism 6 for the first area to the corridor 18).

[0071] In this embodiment, the entrance to the stairwell where the first area staircase 6a is installed (the entrance on the second floor) is designated as the intermediate area entrance 9. The entrance to the stairwell on the second floor is equipped with a door (not shown) that has a security lock that can only be unlocked by, for example, the first user (the occupant of residence 21). Furthermore, the entrance / exit connecting the elevator 6b for the first area and the corridor 18 is designated as the entrance / exit 9 for the intermediate area. The elevator 6b for the first area is equipped with a control panel (not shown) that is configured so that, for example, only the first user (resident of residence 21) can press the floor buttons.

[0072] As shown in Figure 7, residences 21, which are part of the first area 2, are located on the 3rd to 5th floors. In other words, the 3rd to 5th floors are designated as the residential zone of the first area 2. The residential zone may also be divided into rental units on the lower floors (3rd and 4th floors) and owner-occupied units on the upper floors (5th floor). In other words, the upper floors (5th floor) may be an area with more limited users than the lower floors (3rd and 4th floors). The residential zone (3rd to 5th floors) has four residences 21. Specifically, there is a flat-type residence 21 on the 3rd floor, a flat-type residence 21 on the 4th floor, a flat-type residence 21 on the 5th floor, and a maisonette-type residence 21 spanning the 3rd and 4th floors. The flat-type residence 21 on the 4th floor has a workspace WS.

[0073] On each of the 3rd to 5th floors, a corridor 14 is provided between the residence 21 and the elevator 6 for the first area. Between the elevator 6 and the corridor 14, there is an entrance / exit 7 for the first area that connects the elevator 6 and the first area 2. Only the first user (the occupant of the residence 21) is permitted to pass through the entrance / exit 7 from the elevator 6 to the corridor 14. A key may also be required for passage in the reverse direction (from the corridor 14 to the elevator 6 for the first area).

[0074] In this embodiment, the entrance to the stairwell where the first area staircase 6a is installed (the entrance located on the 3rd to 5th floors) is designated as the first area entrance 7. The entrance to the stairwell on the 3rd to 5th floors is equipped with a door (not shown) that has a security lock that can only be unlocked by the first user (the occupant of residence 21). Furthermore, the entrance / exit connecting the elevator 6b for the first area and the corridor 14 is also designated as the entrance / exit 7 for the first area. The elevator 6b for the first area is equipped with a control panel (not shown) that is configured to allow only the first user (resident of residence 21) to press the floor buttons for the residential zone (3rd to 5th floors).

[0075] The primary users, the residents of residence 21 (residents of residence 21, etc.), can move between the first floor and the shared office 31 using the intermediate area staircase 8a. Furthermore, since the first user can pass through the entrance / exit 9 for the intermediate area, they can move between the first floor and the shared office 31 using the stairs 6a or elevator 6b for the first area. Furthermore, since the first user can pass through the entrance / exit 7 for the first area, they can move between the first floor (or second floor) and the residential zone using the stairs 6a or elevator 6b for the first area.

[0076] Third-party users, specifically those using shared office 31, can move between the first floor and shared office 31 using the intermediate area staircase 8a. Second and third users cannot pass through the intermediate area entrance 9. Furthermore, second and third users cannot pass through the first external entrance 5a, and therefore cannot use the first area staircase 6a or the first area elevator 6b. Consequently, second and third users cannot use the first area staircase 6a or the first area elevator 6b to travel between the first floor and the shared office 31, nor can they enter the residential zone (3rd to 5th floors). Thus, in this embodiment, restrictions are placed on passage through the intermediate area entrance 9 and the first external entrance 5a to prevent anyone other than the first user (second and third users) from entering the residential zone, thereby enhancing security in the residential zone.

[0077] Furthermore, in order for a third user to reach the shared office 31, it may be possible to provide not only a route from the second area 4 side (a route using the stairs 8a for the intermediate area) but also a route from the first area 2 side (a route using the elevator 6 for the first area) (see Figure 8). Furthermore, as a means of lifting and lowering that can be used by a third user (means of lifting and lowering for the intermediate area 8), an elevator for the intermediate area may be provided in addition to (or instead of) the stairs 8a for the intermediate area.

[0078] Figure 8 shows a modified version of Example 3. In this modified version, the third user can use not only the route using the stairs 8a for the intermediate area to go to the shared office 31, but also the route using the lifting means 6 for the first area. Specifically, in this modified example, as shown in Figure 8(a), a third external entrance 5c is provided on the first floor, in addition to the first external entrance 5a, as an entrance that connects the outside of the building 1 with the lifting mechanism 6 for the first area. The first external entrance 5a is restricted to a specific user, allowing only the primary user to pass from ramp 16 to entrance 11. A key may also be required for passage in the reverse direction (from entrance 11 to ramp 16). Furthermore, the third external entrance 5c is restricted to specific users, specifically the first and third users, who are permitted to pass from the ramp 16 to the corridor 17. Note that a key may also be required for passage in the reverse direction (from corridor 17 to ramp 16).

[0079] Furthermore, a door is provided at the entrance 19 connecting the entrance 11 and the corridor 17. This entrance 19 is restricted to specific users, specifically the primary user, who can access it from the corridor 17 to the entrance 11. A lock may also be required for passage in the reverse direction (from the entrance 11 to the corridor 17). In other words, in this modified version, both the first and third users can enter the corridor 17, but only the first user can enter the entrance 11. The entrance 11 is equipped with mailboxes for the residential zone, but by configuring it as in this modified version, access to the mailboxes can be limited to only the first user, thereby enhancing security in the residential zone.

[0080] Furthermore, in this modified example, as shown in Figure 8(b), an intermediate area entrance 9 is provided on the second floor between the first area lifting mechanism 6 and the corridor 18, connecting the first area lifting mechanism 6 and the intermediate area 3. The intermediate area entrance 9 in this modified example is not an entrance that can only be used by specific users. That is, the intermediate area entrance 9 in this modified example can be used not only by the first user but also by others (passing from the first area lifting mechanism 6 to the corridor 18, and from the corridor 18 to the first area lifting mechanism 6). Furthermore, in this modified example, the entrance / exit 9 for the intermediate area may be designed so that only the first user and the third user, as specific users, can pass from the corridor 18 to the lifting mechanism 6 for the first area. Additionally, a key may be required for passage in the reverse direction (from the lifting mechanism 6 for the first area to the corridor 18).

[0081] <Effects> This embodiment provides the following excellent effects. The building 1 of this embodiment is a building equipped with a shared office 31, and comprises a first area 2 located on the upper floors, a second area 4 located on the floors including the ground floor, an intermediate area 3 located on the floors between the first area 2 and the second area 4, a lifting means 6 for the first area for moving between the outside and the first area 2, and a lifting means 8 for the intermediate area for moving between the second area 4 and the intermediate area 3. The first area 2 includes at least residences 21, the intermediate area 3 includes at least the shared office 31, and the second area 4 includes facilities with a higher degree of public access than the shared office 31 (such as common areas 41 and shops 42).

[0082] Therefore, since Building 1 is a building that houses residences 21, a shared office 31, and facilities that are more public than the shared office 31 (such as common areas 41 and shops 42), it is possible to realize work-life integration and proximity of work-life, and reduce the burden on users. Furthermore, an intermediate area 3, which includes a shared office 31 that is more public than the residences 21 but less public than the facilities 41 and 42, is located between the first area 2, which includes residences 21, and the second area 4, which includes facilities 41 and 42. In other words, the private first area 2, the semi-private (semi-public) intermediate area 3, and the public second area 4 are arranged within building 1 so that the publicness gradually increases from the upper floors to the lower floors, making it more user-friendly than a building where the different areas are mixed. In addition, security can be easily ensured for the private first area 2 and the semi-private intermediate area 3 compared to a building where the different areas are mixed.

[0083] Furthermore, it is possible to have a portion of intermediate area 3 and a portion of first area 2 on the same level (same floor). Also, as shown in Figure 2(b), for example, it is possible to have a portion of intermediate area 3 and a portion of second area 4 on the same level (same floor). In other words, "intermediate area 3 located on the level between first area 2 and second area 4" refers to "intermediate area 3 located on the level between a level where first area 2 is located but intermediate area 3 is not located, and a level where second area 4 is located but intermediate area 3 is not located." Furthermore, facilities with a higher degree of public accessibility than the shared office space 31 are not limited to the common areas 41 and shops 42.

[0084] Furthermore, in building 1 of this embodiment, the first area 2 is an area where only the first user using the first area 2 is permitted to stay, the intermediate area 3 is an area where only the third user using the intermediate area 3 and the first user are permitted to stay, and the second area 4 is an area where the second user using the second area 4, the first user, and the third user are permitted to stay. Therefore, since access to the private area, Area 2, is limited to the first user, security in Area 2 can be enhanced. Furthermore, since access to the semi-private area, Intermediate Area 3, is limited to the first and third users, security in Intermediate Area 3 can be enhanced.

[0085] Furthermore, in the building 1 of this embodiment, the first area 2 and the lifting means 6 for the first area are accessible through the entrance / exit 7 for the first area, and the entrance / exit 7 for the first area can be configured so that only the first user is permitted to pass from the lifting means 6 for the first area to the first area 2. In other words, the entrance / exit 7 for the first area cannot be used to access the first area 2 from the lifting mechanism 6 for the first area without the first user's key (a means of proving that the user is the first user). Therefore, access to the first area 2 (private area) through the lifting mechanism 6 for the first area is limited to the first user, thus enhancing the security of the first area 2. Furthermore, since the entrance / exit 7 for the first area allows access from the first area 2 to the lifting mechanism 6 for the first area even without a key for the first user, the first user can use the lifting mechanism 6 for the first area from the first area 2 (residence 21, etc.) without having to prepare a key, making it convenient to use.

[0086] Furthermore, in the building 1 of this embodiment, the intermediate area 3 and the lifting means 6 for the first area are accessible through the entrance / exit 9 for the intermediate area, and the entrance / exit 9 for the intermediate area can be configured to be an entrance / exit that allows only the first user to pass from the intermediate area 3 to the lifting means 6 for the first area. In other words, the entrance / exit 9 for the intermediate area cannot be used to access the elevator / lifting mechanism 6 for the first area from the intermediate area 3 without the first user's key (a means of proving that the user is the first user). Therefore, access from the intermediate area 3 to the first area 2 (private area) via the elevator / lifting mechanism 6 for the first area is limited to the first user, thus enhancing the security of the first area 2. Furthermore, since the entrance / exit 9 for the intermediate area allows access from the lifting mechanism 6 for the first area to the intermediate area 3 even without a key for the first user, the first user can enter the intermediate area 3 without having to prepare a key for the first user, making it convenient to use.

[0087] Furthermore, if the entrance / exit 7 for the first area is an entrance / exit where only the first user is permitted to pass from the lifting mechanism 6 for the first area to the first area 2, then the entrance / exit 9 for the intermediate area does not need to be an entrance / exit where only the first user is permitted to pass from the intermediate area 3 to the lifting mechanism 6 for the first area. Alternatively, if the entrance / exit 9 for the intermediate area is an entrance / exit where only the first user is permitted to pass from the intermediate area 3 to the lifting mechanism 6 for the first area, then the entrance / exit 7 for the first area does not need to be an entrance / exit where only the first user is permitted to pass from the lifting mechanism 6 for the first area to the first area 2.

[0088] Furthermore, in the building 1 of this embodiment, the first area 2 includes an office 22 as a workplace, and the office 22 and the shared office 31 are located on the same floor and can be configured to be accessible from each other through an intermediate area entrance 9 (see Example 1). This configuration allows not only the shared office 31 but also the office 22 to coexist with the residence 21, thus realizing a work-life integration and proximity between work and residence, and reducing the burden on users. Furthermore, shared office 31 can be used as a free space for office 22, and since shared office 31 is located on the same floor as office 22 and easily accessible from office 22, it is possible to provide an innovative workplace (office 22) with a user-friendly free space.

[0089] Furthermore, in the building 1 of this embodiment, the intermediate area 3 includes an office 32 as a workplace, and the office 32 and the shared office 31 can be configured to be located on the same floor (see Example 2). This configuration allows not only the shared office 31 but also the office 32 to coexist with the residence 21, thus realizing a work-life integration and proximity between work and residence, and reducing the burden on users. Furthermore, shared office 31 can be used as a free space for office 32, and since shared office 31 is located on the same floor as office 32 and easily accessible from office 32, it is possible to provide an innovative workplace (office 32) with a user-friendly free space.

[0090] Furthermore, the building 1 of this embodiment is equipped with a first-area staircase 6a and a first-area elevator 6b as a first-area lifting means 6, and an intermediate-area staircase 8a as an intermediate-area lifting means 8. Therefore, since you can choose between an elevator and stairs to access the first area 2 located on the upper floor, it is very convenient. Furthermore, the means of lifting / lowering for the first area 6 only needs to include at least one of the stairs 6a for the first area and the elevator 6b for the first area. Furthermore, as a means of lifting and lowering for the intermediate area, an elevator for the intermediate area may be provided in addition to (or instead of) the stairs 8a for the intermediate area.

[0091] Furthermore, in the building 1 of this embodiment, the residence 21 can be configured to have a workspace WS equipped with at least a desk and a chair. Therefore, since the workspace WS is already installed in residence 21, the burden on the user can be reduced. Furthermore, if building 1 contains multiple residences 21, workspace WS may be installed in all of the residences 21, or workspace WS may be installed in only some of the residences 21. Also, building 1 may consist only of residences 21 that do not have workspace WS installed.

[0092] Furthermore, in this embodiment, building 1 can be partially (for example, from the second floor up) or entirely (from the first to the fifth floor) constructed of wood. In recent years, there has been a growing demand for the realization of a decarbonized society through the promotion of carbon neutrality, which aims to reduce carbon dioxide emissions to virtually zero, and for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In the construction industry, efforts are also being made to use wood, which reduces carbon dioxide emissions, for buildings.
