Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] By the way, when the appearance designs of one of two or more buildings built on the same site and the other building arranged separately from the one building are different, there is a problem that it is difficult to maintain the unity of the design. Since the plurality of buildings in the invention described in Patent Document 1 are building units constructed for the same purpose of apartment houses, the above problem is not considered. In addition, when eaves fixed to both of two adjacent buildings separated from each other are provided between a plurality of buildings built on the same site, vibrations generated in one building may affect the other building through the eaves.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide an eaves structure that is preferably provided between a plurality of buildings while maintaining a sense of unity in the plurality of buildings adjacent to each other with a gap therebetween.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] The invention described in claim 1 is, for example, as shown in Figures 1 to 6, 9, and 13, an awning structure 4 provided between a first building (apartment complex 2) and a second building (industrial support facility 1) which are spaced apart within the same site (complex site 100), wherein the first end of the awning structure 4, which is the end on the first building side, is fixed to the outer wall of the first building, and the second end of the awning structure 4, which is the end on the second building side, is provided in close proximity to the outer wall of the second building. The first end is fixed to the exterior wall of the first building (apartment building 2) at the height of the second floor ceiling, and the second end is provided close to the exterior wall of the second building (industrial support facility 1) at the height of the first floor ceiling.

[0007] According to the invention described in claim 1, an overhang can be provided along substantially the entire length between the first building (apartment complex 2) and the second building (industrial support facility 1) which is spaced apart from the first building. This makes it possible to connect the first and second buildings, which have different exterior designs, and maintain the unity of their designs. Furthermore, the end of the canopy structure 4 on the second building side is provided close to the exterior wall of the second building and is not fixed to the exterior wall of the second building. Therefore, vibrations generated in the second building can suppress their influence on the first building via the canopy structure 4. In other words, the canopy structure 4 can be suitably provided between multiple buildings. Furthermore, although the canopy structure 4 is installed between different floors in the space between the first and second buildings, it extends over almost the entire length between the first and second buildings, thus not compromising the sense of unity between the multiple buildings. In addition, by installing the canopy structure 4 in the above position, the space A between the first and second buildings is effectively protected from wind and rain. It also provides a sense of openness to those in space A between the first and second buildings, such as those using the presentation space 11 on the first floor of the second building (industrial support facility 1) or those using the coworking cafe 22 on the first floor of the first building (apartment building 2). It also blocks the view from the adjacent second building (industrial support facility 1) to the workspace 23 of the first building (apartment building 2). Therefore, the canopy structure 4 is suitably installed between the first and second buildings.

[0010] Claim 2 The invention described above is, for example, as shown in Figures 6 and 9, 1 The canopy structure 4 described above includes a horizontal surface portion 411 and an inclined surface portion 412 that slopes downward from the end of the horizontal surface portion 411 relative to the horizontal surface portion 411.

[0011] Claim 2According to the invention described above, even if the height positions of the location where the first end of the exterior wall of the first building is fixed and the location where the second end of the exterior wall of the second building is provided in close proximity are different, the canopy structure 4, in which the inclined surface portion 412 slopes downward from the end of the horizontal surface portion 411, can connect the first and second buildings, which have different exterior designs, and maintain the integrity of their designs. Furthermore, since the canopy body portion 41 having the horizontal surface portion 411 and the inclined surface portion 412 becomes less prone to bending, the canopy body portion 41 itself becomes less prone to vibration. Therefore, the canopy structure 4 can be suitably provided between multiple buildings. In addition, airflow can be created in the space A surrounded by the canopy body portion 41, the wall surface of the second building (industrial support facility 1), the wall surface of the first building (apartment building 2), and the ground.

[0012] Claim 3 The invention described is, for example, as shown in Figures 5 and 6, 1 or 2 In the canopy structure 4 described above, Of the aforementioned second building (industrial support facility 1), at least the first floor The location where the second end is provided in close proximity The floor height is for each floor of the first building (apartment building 2) up to the second floor, at least the first end of which is fixed to the exterior wall. each It is higher than the floor height.

[0013] Claim 3 According to the invention described above, if the floor height of the first floor of the second building (industrial support facility 1) is the same as the floor heights of each floor up to the second floor of the first building (apartment building 2), a height difference of one floor will occur between the point where the first end of the canopy structure 4 is fixed and the point where the second end is installed in close proximity. However, if the floor height of the first floor of the second building is higher than the floor heights of each floor up to the second floor of the first building, the height position of the point where the second end is installed in close proximity will be at a relatively high position. This makes it possible to reduce the height difference between the first end and the second end of the canopy structure 4, and makes it easier to maintain design unity by connecting the first and second buildings, which have different exterior designs.

[0014] Claim 4 The invention described above is as shown in Figures 6, 9, and 11, for example, according to the claims. 2In the eaves structure 4 described in [reference], there is a projecting portion 42 that projects from the outer wall of the second building (industrial support facility 1) toward the first building (apartment building 2), and a support column 43 that penetrates the projecting portion 42 and is fixed to the projecting portion 42. The inclined surface portion 412 is connected to the support column 43 in a non-fixed state.

[0015] Claim 4 According to the invention described in [claim], it is possible to suppress the influence of vibrations generated from the second building (industrial support facility 1) on the eaves main body portion 41 of the eaves structure 4. That is, it is possible to suppress the influence of vibrations generated from the second building on the first building (apartment building 2) to which the eaves main body portion 41 is fixed. Therefore, the eaves structure 4 can be suitably provided between the first building and the second building.

[0016] Claim 5 The invention described in [claim] is, for example, as shown in FIGS. 6, 9, and 12, in the eaves structure 4 described in [claim] 2 In the eaves structure 4 described in [claim], there is a projecting portion 42 that projects from the outer wall of the second building (industrial support facility 1) toward the first building (apartment building 2), and a support column 43 that penetrates without being fixed to the projecting portion 42. The inclined surface portion 412 is fixed to the support column 43.

[0017] Claim 5 According to the invention described in [claim], it is possible to suppress the influence of vibrations generated from the second building (industrial support facility 1) on the eaves main body portion 41 of the eaves structure 4. That is, it is possible to suppress the influence of vibrations generated from the second building on the first building (apartment building 2) to which the eaves main body portion 41 is fixed. Therefore, the eaves structure 4 can be suitably provided between the first building and the second building.

[0018] Claim 6 The invention described in [claim] is, for example, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 8, in the eaves structure 4 described in claim 1, the second building (industrial support facility 1) is a factory building, and the first building (apartment building 2) is an apartment building where people working in the second building live.

[0019] Claim 6According to the invention described, it is possible to connect and maintain the integrity of a first building and a second building with different exterior designs of an apartment building and a factory building. In addition, it is possible to provide a facility close to the integration of work and residence, that is, a facility close to work and residence.

[0022] Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. However, while the embodiments described below are subject to various technically preferred limitations for carrying out the present invention, the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments and illustrated examples.

[0023] [1. Mixed-use site] First, the general configuration of the complex site according to this embodiment will be described. Figure 1 is a plan view of the mixed-use site 100. Figure 2 is a perspective view of the mixed-use site 100 from the southeast.

[0024] As shown in Figure 1, the complex site 100 includes the second building, which is an industrial support facility 1, the first building, which is a multi-unit residential building 2, other buildings 3, a canopy structure 4, a ground 5, etc. Ground 5 faces Industrial Support Facility 1, Apartment Building 2, and Other Building 3, respectively. Furthermore, public road 201 abuts the east side of the complex site 100, public road 202 abuts the southeast side, and public road 203 abuts the west side. Furthermore, while the composite site 100 shown in Figure 1 is roughly trapezoidal in shape, it is not limited to this. The composite site 100 may have other shapes.

[0025] [2. Industrial Support Facilities] Industrial support facility 1 is located in the northeast of the complex site 100, facing public road 201. Industrial support facility 1 has a rectangular shape in plan view, and the direction of the longer side of the rectangle is approximately parallel to the direction of extension of public road 201.

[0026] Industrial support facility 1 is a temporary factory that provides a base for the manufacturing industry. A temporary factory in this context refers to a facility that can be used as a temporary operating site for, for example, someone who is replacing an aging factory. Furthermore, Industrial Support Facility 1 may be a factory that is not a temporary factory.

[0027] Figure 3 shows the floor plans of the first floor of Industrial Support Facility 1 and Apartment Building 2. Figure 4 shows the floor plans of the second floor of Industrial Support Facility 1 and Apartment Building 2. Figure 5 shows the side views of Industrial Support Facility 1, Apartment Building 2, and Canopy Structure 4. Figure 6 shows cross-sectional views of a portion of Industrial Support Facility 1, a portion of Apartment Building 2, and Canopy Structure 4.

[0028] Industrial support facility 1 is, for example, an eight-story building, as shown in Figure 5. Industrial support facility 1 includes a presentation space 11, a meeting space 12, partitioned areas 13, etc. Presentation space 11 is located on the side of the canopy structure 4 on the first floor of industrial support facility 1. Meeting space 12 is located on the second floor of industrial support facility 1, on the side of the canopy structure 4. Sectional areas 13 are located on all floors of the industrial support facility 1 and have purpose-specific sections that can accommodate everything from prototyping to mass production in the manufacturing industry.

[0029] As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the floor height of at least the first floor of the industrial support facility 1 (second building) is higher than the floor height of each floor up to the second floor of the apartment building 2 (first building) where at least the first end of the canopy structure 4 (described later) is fixed to the exterior wall. As a result, if the floor height of the first floor of Industrial Support Facility 1 is the same as the floor heights of each floor up to the second floor of Apartment Building 2, a height difference of one floor will occur between the point where the first end of the canopy structure 4 is fixed and the point where the second end is installed in close proximity. However, if the floor height of the first floor of Industrial Support Facility 1 is higher than the floor heights of each floor up to the second floor of Apartment Building 2, the height position of the point where the second end is installed in close proximity will be at a relatively high position. This reduces the height difference between the first and second ends of the canopy structure 4, making it easier to connect Industrial Support Facility 1 and Apartment Building 2, which have different exterior designs, and maintain design unity. Furthermore, the relatively high ceiling height of Industrial Support Facility 1 allows for the installation of large machinery within it. Therefore, Industrial Support Facility 1 is well-suited for use as a temporary factory for manufacturing. This use as a temporary factory will be described in detail later.

[0030] [3. Apartment complex] Apartment building 2 is located on the southeast side of the mixed-use site 100, facing public road 202. Apartment building 2 has a rectangular shape in plan view, and the direction of the longer side of the rectangle is approximately parallel to the direction of extension of public road 202.

[0031] Apartment Building 2 is a building where people involved in manufacturing at Industrial Support Facility 1 (people working at Industrial Support Facility 1 and their families) reside. By incorporating apartment building 2 into the mixed-use site 100, it will be possible to provide residents of apartment building 2 with an environment where they can live while engaging in manufacturing. This will enable diverse individuals involved in manufacturing to live close to their workplaces and enjoy a richer life.

[0032] Apartment building 2 is, for example, a 14-story building, as shown in Figure 5. As shown in Figures 3-6, the apartment complex 2 is equipped on the first floor with amenities such as a communication cafe, a general store, a convenience store, and other facilities for daily life, as well as a co-working cafe, etc. The convenience facility 21 provides goods and services necessary for the daily lives of residents of apartment building 2. Furthermore, the living convenience facility 21 may include a prayer room. This would improve the convenience of the apartment building 2, for example, when accepting foreign residents. In addition to its function as a cafe, Coworking Cafe 22 serves as a workspace for manufacturing professionals working at Industrial Support Facility 1, and as a place for disseminating manufacturing information and facilitating exchange between these professionals and external individuals, including local residents in the vicinity of the complex site 100.

[0033] Additionally, apartment building 2 has a workspace 23 on the second floor. Workspace 23 is a space that can be used jointly by residents of apartment building 2. Apartment building 2, equipped with workspace 23, serves as a living space for people involved in manufacturing at industrial support facility 1, while also accommodating work-from-home arrangements. Furthermore, because apartment building 2 is equipped with a coworking cafe 22 and workspace 23, apartment building 2 provides an industrial support environment where work and living are integrated. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 4, the southeast wall of workspace 23 protrudes to the southeast compared to the living area 24. As a result, workspace 23 is more prominent when viewed from the outside of the apartment building 2. Furthermore, apartment building 2 includes residential units 24 on part of the second floor and on the third floor and above, where the residents of apartment building 2 reside.

[0034] [4. Industrial support facilities and apartment buildings] Figure 7 shows the first and second floors of Industrial Support Facility 1 and Apartment Building 2. As shown in Figures 5 and 7, the presentation space 11 of the industrial support facility 1 has a window 111 that extends from near the ceiling to near the floor. The meeting space 12 has a window 124 that extends from near the ceiling to near the floor. The living convenience facility 21 of the apartment complex 2 has a window 211 that extends from near the ceiling to near the floor. The coworking cafe 22 has a window 221 that extends from near the ceiling to near the floor. The workspace 23 has a window 233 that extends from near the ceiling to near the floor. The windows 111, 124, 211, 221, and 233 have larger vertical dimensions than the window 131 in the partitioned section 13 and the window 241 in the living area 24. Since the living convenience facility 21 has large windows 211 and the coworking cafe 22 has large windows 221, it is possible to have a clear line of sight from the living convenience facility 21 and the coworking cafe 22 all the way to the ground 5. Furthermore, by providing the aforementioned large vertical windows 111, 124, 211, 221, and 233, the activities at Industrial Support Facility 1 and Apartment Building 2 can spill out onto public roads 201 and 202, creating a lively atmosphere. Additionally, by providing the aforementioned large vertical windows 111, 124, 211, 221, and 233, the activities at Industrial Support Facility 1 and Apartment Building 2 can be easily seen from outside the complex site 100. This can contribute to promoting the manufacturing industry at Industrial Support Facility 1. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 7, a protrusion 121 is provided on the second floor of the industrial support facility 1.

[0035] [5. Other buildings] The other building 3 is located on the southwest side of the complex site 100, facing public road 202. The other building 3 is trapezoidal in plan view, and the direction of the base of the trapezoid is approximately parallel to the direction of extension of public road 202. In this embodiment, the other building 3 is a community center or childcare facility and is used as a central facility for community activities. Furthermore, the third building may be a building used for purposes other than a community center.

[0036] [6. Canopy Structure] The canopy structure 4 is installed between the shorter side of the industrial support facility 1 in a plan view and the shorter side of the apartment building 2 in a plan view. Figure 9 shows a plan view of the canopy structure 4.

[0037] As shown in Figures 6 and 9, the canopy structure 4 comprises a canopy body 41, an overhanging portion 42, and support columns 43. The main canopy section 41 is roughly rectangular in plan view, with the length of its longer side being approximately half the length of the longer side of the apartment building 2. Furthermore, the length of the shorter side of the main canopy section 41 is at least approximately four-fifths the length of the shorter side of the apartment building 2. In other words, the canopy structure 4 is a large canopy, similar to those installed on apartment buildings and commercial facilities. Furthermore, the canopy structure 4 is positioned such that the direction of the long side of the canopy body 41 is substantially parallel to the direction of extension of the public road 202. The main canopy section 41 is constructed with a steel frame, and finishing materials are provided around the frame. The canopy body portion 41 includes a horizontal surface portion 411, an inclined surface portion 412, a bent portion 413, and a recess 414.

[0038] As shown in Figure 9, the bent portion 413 is located on the diagonal in the east-west direction in a plan view of the main canopy portion 41. The main canopy portion 41 is bent at the bending portion 413, thereby having a horizontal surface portion 411 and an inclined surface portion 412. Because the canopy body 41 has a bent portion 413, the canopy body 41 is less prone to bending, and therefore the canopy body 41 itself is less prone to vibration. Therefore, the canopy structure 4 can be suitably installed between the industrial support facility 1 and the apartment building 2. Furthermore, because the canopy body 41 has a bent portion 413, it is possible to create airflow in the space A surrounded by the canopy body 41, the wall surface of the industrial support facility 1, the wall surface of the apartment building 2, and the ground.

[0039] The end (first end) of the horizontal section 411 on the side of the apartment building 2 is fixed to the exterior wall of the apartment building 2 at the height of the second-floor ceiling of the apartment building 2. The height of the second-floor ceiling may be the height of the third-floor slab. The exterior wall is the building frame to which exterior wall materials, windows, balconies, fascia boards, and other components are attached. The building frame of the apartment building 2 is constructed, for example, by a reinforced concrete frame structure, but other structures may be used. The first end is fixed to the part of the building frame of the apartment building 2 that constitutes the exterior wall, or in the vicinity of that part. If the canopy body 41 and the building frame of the apartment building 2 are made of steel, the canopy body 41 and the building frame of the apartment building 2 may be integrally formed. The horizontal portion 411 extends from the exterior wall surface of the apartment building 2 in a northeasterly direction, parallel to the ground.

[0040] The inclined surface portion 412 is a downward sloping surface that slopes from the bent portion 413 toward the industrial support facility 1, and extends in the direction of the industrial support facility 1 (north direction). Furthermore, the end of the inclined surface portion 412 on the industrial support facility 1 side (second end) is located close to the outer wall surface of the industrial support facility 1, yet spaced apart. This suppresses the influence of vibrations generated from the industrial support facility 1 on the canopy body portion 41. In other words, it suppresses the influence of vibrations generated from the industrial support facility 1 on the apartment building 2 to which the canopy body portion 41 is fixed. Therefore, the canopy structure 4 is suitably provided between the industrial support facility 1 and the apartment building 2.

[0041] The overhang 42 is fixed to the wall surface of the industrial support facility 1 at the height of the first-floor ceiling of the industrial support facility 1. This height of the first-floor ceiling may be the height of the second-floor floor. The overhang 42 extends from the outer wall surface of the industrial support facility 1 in a southward and eastward direction, parallel to the ground.

[0042] Furthermore, even if the height of the location where the first end of the exterior wall of the apartment building 2 is fixed and the height of the location where the second end of the exterior wall of the second building is provided in close proximity are different, the canopy structure 4, which has a bent portion 413 and a sloping surface portion 412 that slopes downward from the end of the horizontal surface portion 411, can connect the industrial support facility 1 and the apartment building 2, which have different exterior designs, and maintain the integrity of their designs.

[0043] The support column 43 is erected on the ground near the industrial support facility 1. Therefore, the support column 43 is located at the edge of space A and does not obstruct those using space A. Furthermore, the support column 43 penetrates the overhang 42, and the portion where the support column 43 penetrates the overhang 42 is fixed, so the support column 43 supports the overhang 42.

[0044] The recess 414 is for inserting the upper end of the support column 43 and is provided in a position that overlaps with the support column 43 in a plan view of the inclined surface portion 412. As shown in Figure 10, the size of the recess 414 is large enough to accommodate the upper end of the support column 43. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 10, when the upper end of the support column 43 is inserted into the recess 414, the recess 414 is not in contact with the support column 43 and is spaced apart from it. This suppresses the influence of vibrations generated from the industrial support facility 1 on the canopy body 41. Therefore, the canopy structure 4 is suitably installed between the industrial support facility 1 and the apartment building 2.

[0045] In the example shown in Figure 6, the canopy structure 4 is provided with one support column 43, but it is not limited to this. The canopy structure 4 may also be provided with support columns that support the canopy body 41.

[0046] Furthermore, the inclined surface portion 412 and the support column 43 may be connected in the recess 414. In this case, as shown in Figure 11, the recess 414 and the support column 43 are connected by an expansion joint 44 or the like. That is, the recess 414 and the support column 43 are in contact in an unfixed state. Even in this case, the canopy body portion 41 can be prevented from being affected by vibrations generated from the industrial support facility 1. In other words, the canopy body portion 41 can be prevented from being affected by vibrations generated from the industrial support facility 1 in the apartment building 2 to which it is fixed. Therefore, the canopy structure 4 is preferably installed between the industrial support facility 1 and the apartment building 2.

[0047] Furthermore, Figure 12 shows another example in which the inclined surface portion 412 and the support column 43 are connected in the recess 414. In this case, as shown in Figure 12, the recess 414 and the support column 43 are fixed by the fixing portion 45. In this case, the support column 43 penetrates the overhang portion 42, but the penetration portion 421 between the support column 43 and the overhang portion 42 is not fixed. Even in this case, it is possible to suppress the effects of vibrations generated from the industrial support facility 1 on the canopy body portion 41. In other words, it is possible to suppress the effects of vibrations generated from the industrial support facility 1 on the apartment building 2 to which the canopy body portion 41 is fixed. Therefore, the canopy structure 4 is suitably provided between the industrial support facility 1 and the apartment building 2.

[0048] Furthermore, in the example shown in Figure 10, instead of the recess 414, a hole may be provided in the inclined surface 412 through which the support column 43 passes. In this case, the support column 43 is passed through the hole in the inclined surface 412, and the support column 43 and the hole in the inclined surface 412 are not fixed together. Even in this case, the canopy body 41 can be suppressed from being affected by vibrations generated from the industrial support facility 1. Therefore, the canopy structure 4 is suitably provided between the industrial support facility 1 and the apartment building 2.

[0049] The overhanging portion 42 may also be configured as a balcony.

[0050] As described above, by installing the canopy structure 4 between the industrial support facility 1 and the apartment building 2, the industrial support facility 1 and the apartment building 2, which have different exterior designs, can be integrated. Furthermore, by setting the height at which the canopy body 41 of the canopy structure 4 is installed to the ceiling position of the first floor of the industrial support facility 1 and the ceiling position of the second floor of the apartment building 2, the canopy structure 4 will be installed between different floors between the industrial support facility 1 and the apartment building 2. However, since it will be installed along almost the entire length between the industrial support facility 1 and the apartment building 2, it will not impair the sense of unity between the multiple buildings. In addition, by setting the height at which the canopy body 41 of the canopy structure 4 is installed to this position, there is an effect of providing protection from wind and rain in space A between the apartment building 2 and the industrial support facility 1. It can also give a sense of openness to people in space A, for example, those using the presentation space 11 located on the first floor of the industrial support facility 1 or those using the coworking cafe 22 located on the first floor of the apartment building 2. It can also block the line of sight from the adjacent industrial support facility 1 to the workspace 23 of the apartment building 2. Therefore, the canopy structure 4 is suitably installed between the first building and the second building.

[0051] Furthermore, by providing the canopy structure 4 to the complex site 100, space A can function as a plaza welcoming residents of the apartment building 2 and visitors to the complex site 100. In addition, space A can be used as a venue for manufacturing events at the complex site 100. Moreover, the solar radiation load can be reduced in space A.

[0052] Furthermore, it is preferable that at least a portion of the canopy structure 4 be constructed of wood. This can contribute to forest conservation.

[0053] [7. Use as a temporary relocation site] Complex site 100 is located in an area with many integrated residential and industrial factories, where residences are built on top of the factories. These integrated factories are aging and are being promoted for rebuilding. Due to the rebuilding of these integrated factories, there is a need to provide a set of factory and residence as a temporary relocation site. Furthermore, in the area where site 100 is located, factories and residences coexist, and there is a need to create an urban landscape in which residential and industrial areas coexist in harmony.

[0054] In this embodiment, the combined site 100 includes an industrial support facility 1 and a residential complex 2, making it possible to provide a factory and residence as a temporary relocation site, as shown in Figure 8. This allows the combined site 100 to contribute to promoting the rebuilding of integrated residential and industrial factories. Furthermore, after the completion of the rebuilding of the integrated residential and industrial factory, and the subsequent departure of Industrial Support Facility 1 and Apartment Building 2, it will be possible to accelerate the functional renewal cycle of the area where the mixed-use site 100 is located by accepting the temporary relocation of the next integrated residential and industrial factory. Furthermore, by utilizing the mixed-use site 100 as a functional renewal high-density development area, it will be possible to create a floor area ratio relaxation system that requires the development of uses related to manufacturing. Furthermore, after the completion of the rebuilding of the integrated residential and industrial town factory and the subsequent departure of residents from Industrial Support Facility 1 and Apartment Building 2, it will be possible to attract tenants for Industrial Support Facility 1 and Apartment Building 2 from outside the region (outside the ward) or from overseas.

[0055] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 1, the longest side direction in the plan view of Industrial Support Facility 1 and the longest side direction in the plan view of Apartment Building 2 intersect. In other words, one of the buildings, Industrial Support Facility 1 or Apartment Building 2, is positioned at a predetermined angle to the other building. The angle formed by the east side of the exterior wall of Industrial Support Facility 1 and the southeast side of the exterior wall of Apartment Building 2 is greater than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees. Furthermore, the industrial support facility 1 and the apartment building 2 are spaced apart to such an extent that a canopy structure 4 can be installed between the shorter side of the industrial support facility 1 in a plan view and the shorter side of the apartment building 2 in a plan view.

[0056] Industrial support facility 1 may generate noise, odors, vibrations, etc., during operations. However, by making industrial support facility 1 and apartment building 2 separate buildings and arranging them at a distance from each other in the aforementioned locations, the impact of such noise, odors, vibrations, etc., on apartment building 2 can be suppressed. Therefore, industrial support facility 1 can operate without restrictions regarding noise, odors, vibrations, etc. Furthermore, the exhaust from Industrial Support Facility 1 is directed eastward. This helps to minimize the impact of odors generated at Industrial Support Facility 1 on the apartment building 2. Furthermore, Industrial Support Facility 1 has openings facing east, and Apartment Building 2 has openings facing southeast. This prevents direct line of sight between Industrial Support Facility 1 and Apartment Building 2. In addition, high sound-insulating fixtures are used in both Industrial Support Facility 1 and Apartment Building 2. This helps to avoid noise-related problems between Industrial Support Facility 1 and Apartment Building 2.

[0057] [8. Design of industrial support facilities, apartment buildings, and canopy structures] The upper floors of Industrial Support Facility 1 and Apartment Building 2 will be predominantly monochrome. Therefore, Industrial Support Facility 1 and Apartment Building 2 will not be disruptive to the urban landscape. Furthermore, by constructing parts of Industrial Support Facility 1 and Apartment Complex 2 using materials (such as metalwork) that showcase the technology of local factories, the landscape will symbolize harmony between residential and industrial areas. The lower floors of Industrial Support Facility 1 and Apartment Building 2 have a light, airy roof design that avoids appearing cumbersome. Furthermore, the colors used in these lower floors are warm and bright, creating a vibrant urban environment that is tailored to the eye level of pedestrians walking around the complex site 100 and its perimeter.

[0058] As described above, the presentation space 11 and meeting space 12 of Industrial Support Facility 1, which are the lower floors of Industrial Support Facility 1 and Apartment Building 2, and the living convenience facilities 21, coworking cafe 22, and workspace 23 of Apartment Building 2, are equipped with large vertical windows 111, 124, 211, 221, and 233 that extend continuously from near the ceiling to near the floor. This allows people outside Industrial Support Facility 1 and Apartment Building 2 to observe the manufacturing, daily life, and community interaction activities taking place within Industrial Support Facility 1 and Apartment Building 2. This contributes to a vibrant urban landscape and creates a transparent urban environment. In other words, the large vertical windows 111, 124, 211, 221, and 233, which extend continuously from near the ceiling to near the floor, are concentrated near the canopy structure 4. As a result, when viewing the complex site 100 from a distance, one's attention is naturally drawn to the lower floors of the industrial support facility 1 and the apartment building 2, as well as the canopy structure 4.

[0059] Around Industrial Support Facility 1 and Apartment Complex 2, mainly medium-sized and tall trees have been planted. This creates a green landscape that softly complements the existing scenery and contributes to creating a relaxing environment for users of the complex site 100.

[0060] Figure 13 shows a view from below of the industrial support facility 1, the apartment building 2, and the canopy structure 4. The top surface 415 of the canopy body 41 shown in Figure 13 is made of wood with a wood grain pattern. The upper surface 416 and the side end surface 417 of the canopy body 41 shown in Figure 13 are covered with a material of Cor-Ten steel with a pattern and color. The wood grain pattern of the top surface 415 and the pattern and color of the Cor-Ten steel on the top surface 416 and side end surfaces 417 are finishing materials provided around the framework of the canopy body 41 as described above.

[0061] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 2 and 13, the industrial support facility 1 includes protrusions 122 and 123 fixed to the outer wall surface of the industrial support facility 1. The protruding portion 122 is positioned along the upper edge of the window 124 of the meeting space 12, resembling an overhang. The protrusion 123 is positioned along the lower edge of the window 124 of the meeting space 12, aligning with the upper protrusion 122. This improves the aesthetic appearance of the protrusions 122 and 123. The protruding portions 122 and 123 are covered with a material of Cor-Ten steel with a pattern and color, similar to the upper surface 416 and side end surface 417 of the canopy body portion 41.

[0062] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 2 and 13, the apartment building 2 is equipped with protrusions 231 and 232 fixed to the exterior wall surface of the apartment building 2. The protruding portion 231 is provided along the upper edge of the window 233 of the workspace 23, as if it were an awning, and is provided on the southeast exterior wall surface of the apartment building 2, continuously from the upper edge of the window 233. The protrusion 232 is provided along the lower edge of the window 233 of the workspace 23, aligned with the upper protrusion 231, and extends continuously from the lower edge of the window 233 to the southeast exterior wall surface of the apartment building 2. This improves the aesthetic design of the protrusions 231 and 232. The protruding portions 231 and 232 are covered with a material of Cor-Ten steel with a pattern and color, similar to the upper surface 416 and side end surface 417 of the main canopy portion 41.

[0063] In other words, the protruding parts 122 and 123 of the industrial support facility 1, the protruding parts 231 and 232 of the apartment building 2, and the upper surface 416 and side end surface 417 of the canopy structure 4 are covered with the same material. This makes it appear as if the protruding parts 122 and 123 of the industrial support facility 1, the protruding parts 231 and 232 of the apartment building 2, and the upper surface 416 and side end surface 417 of the canopy structure 4 are continuous. Therefore, design continuity is ensured and design integrity is maintained in the industrial support facility 1, the apartment building 2, and the canopy structure 4.

[0064] [9. Use as an evacuation shelter] The following describes the case where the mixed-use site 100 is used as an evacuation shelter in the event of a disaster. Industrial support facility 1, apartment building 2, and other building 3 are equipped with balconies and outdoor stair landings. These balconies and outdoor stair landings can be used as landing decks for boats to reach evacuation shelters or as evacuation balconies in the event of a disaster, and are located at a higher elevation than the floodwaters that would occur during a flood. Furthermore, anticipating the risk of infectious diseases within evacuation shelters, it is possible to partition movement routes and areas in Industrial Support Facility 1, Apartment Building 2, and Other Building 3 according to the symptoms of the infected. This allows Industrial Support Facility 1, Apartment Building 2, and Other Building 3 to be used as evacuation shelters with peace of mind. Furthermore, streetlights are installed in areas that serve as evacuation routes within the complex site 100, enabling responses to disasters occurring at night.

[0065] Furthermore, depending on the scale of the disaster, the presentation space 11 and meeting space 12 of Industrial Support Facility 1 can be provided as supplementary evacuation facilities when the ward expands its evacuation area. Security lines within Industrial Support Facility 1 are established for each tenant and each floor. This creates a security system that allows the facility to be used as a supplementary evacuation site even after each tenant resumes operations. Furthermore, vending machines, which are designed for use during disasters, are installed on the first and second floors of Industrial Support Facility 1. This allows for the free provision of beverages from these vending machines in times of emergency. Furthermore, in the event of an emergency, it is possible for tenants located on the first floor of apartment building 2 to provide stockpiled supplies. Furthermore, to prepare for emergencies, Industrial Support Facility 1 is fully equipped with a stockpile of disaster relief supplies.

[0066] [10. Arrangement of industrial support facilities and apartment buildings] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 1, the factory area 300 is located to the east of the complex site 100, via public road 201. The main road 400 is located to the north of the complex site 100. The residential area 500 is located to the west of the complex site 100, via public road 203. Public road 201 is wider than public road 202 and is the main road in the area where the complex site 100 is located. By locating the mid-rise, soundproof industrial support facility 1 in the northeast of the complex site 100, facing public road 201, the impact of noise from the factory area 300, public road 201, and main road 400 on the apartment building 2 and residential area 500 can be suppressed. Therefore, a good living environment can be ensured in the apartment building 2 and residential area 500. Furthermore, by placing apartment building 2 on the south side of the complex site 100, apartment building 2 can obtain good sunlight. Furthermore, by locating other buildings, such as a community center (3), and a plaza (6) at the southwest corner of the complex site (100), functional and environmental coordination with the residential area (500) can be achieved. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 3, the complex site 100 includes a parking lot 7 for the industrial support facility 1 on the north side of the ground 5. This parking lot 7 is directly accessible from the public road 201. This helps to prevent large vehicles from entering the residential area 500 and ensures a safe and secure pedestrian environment on the residential area.

[0067] Furthermore, by positioning Industrial Support Facility 1 on the northeast side of the complex site 100, it will be easily accessible from the main road 400. Additionally, a cafe corner and exhibition space may be provided on the first floor of Industrial Support Facility 1. This would allow visitors to observe the manufacturing activities at Industrial Support Facility 1 from the cafe corner and exhibition space, and also allow external users to experience the manufacturing technologies being used at Industrial Support Facility 1 from their movement within and around the complex site 100.

[0068] Furthermore, by positioning the apartment complex 2 on the southeast side of the mixed-use site 100, functional coordination with the industrial support facility 1 can be easily achieved. Furthermore, by equipping the apartment complex 2 with convenient living facilities 21 on the first floor, it is possible to create a better living environment for the apartment complex 2 and contribute to the vibrancy of the streets surrounding the mixed-use site 100.

[0069] [11. Effects] The canopy structure 4 according to this embodiment, as described above, is a canopy structure 4 provided between a first building (apartment complex 2) and a second building (industrial support facility 1) which are spaced apart within the same site (complex site 100), wherein the first end of the canopy structure 4, which is the end on the first building side, is fixed to the outer wall of the first building, and the second end of the canopy structure 4, which is the end on the second building side, is provided close to the outer wall of the second building. According to this, a canopy can be provided along approximately the entire length between the first building (apartment complex 2) and the second building (industrial support facility 1), which is spaced apart from the first building. This allows the first and second buildings, which have different exterior designs, to be connected and maintain design unity. Furthermore, the end of the canopy structure 4 on the second building side is provided close to the exterior wall of the second building and is not fixed to the exterior wall of the second building. Therefore, vibrations generated in the second building can suppress their influence on the first building via the canopy structure 4. In other words, the canopy structure 4 can be suitably provided between multiple buildings.

[0070] Furthermore, in the canopy structure 4 according to this embodiment, the first end is fixed to the outer wall of the first building (apartment building 2) at the height of the second floor ceiling, and the second end is provided close to the outer wall of the second building (industrial support facility 1) at the height of the first floor ceiling. According to this, the canopy structure 4 will be installed between different floors in the space between the first and second buildings, but since it will be installed along almost the entire length between the first and second buildings, it will not impair the sense of unity between the multiple buildings. In addition, by installing the canopy structure 4 in the above position, there is an effect of providing protection from wind and rain in the space A between the first and second buildings. Furthermore, it can give a sense of openness to people in the space A between the first and second buildings, for example, those using the presentation space 11 located on the first floor of the second building (industrial support facility 1) or those using the coworking cafe 22 located on the first floor of the first building (apartment building 2). In addition, it can block the line of sight from the adjacent second building (industrial support facility 1) to the workspace 23 of the first building (apartment building 2). Therefore, the canopy structure 4 will be suitably installed between the first and second buildings.

[0071] Furthermore, the canopy structure 4 according to this embodiment includes a horizontal surface portion 411 and an inclined surface portion 412 that slopes downward from the end of the horizontal surface portion 411 relative to the horizontal surface portion 411. According to this, even if the height of the point where the first end of the exterior wall of the first building is fixed and the height of the point where the second end of the exterior wall of the second building is provided in close proximity are different, the canopy structure 4, in which the inclined surface portion 412 slopes downward from the end of the horizontal surface portion 411, can connect the first and second buildings, which have different exterior designs, and maintain the integrity of their design. Furthermore, since the canopy body portion 41 having the horizontal surface portion 411 and the inclined surface portion 412 becomes less prone to bending, the canopy body portion 41 itself becomes less prone to vibration. Therefore, the canopy structure 4 can be suitably provided between multiple buildings. In addition, airflow can be created in the space A surrounded by the canopy body portion 41, the wall surface of the second building (industrial support facility 1), the wall surface of the first building (apartment building 2), and the ground.

[0072] Furthermore, in the canopy structure 4 according to this embodiment, the floor height of at least the first floor of the second building (industrial support facility 1) is higher than the floor height of each floor up to the second floor of the first building (apartment building 2), at least the first end of which is fixed to the exterior wall. According to this, if the floor height of the first floor of the second building (industrial support facility 1) is the same as the floor heights of each floor up to the second floor of the first building (apartment building 2), a height difference of one floor will occur between the point where the first end of the canopy structure 4 is fixed and the point where the second end is installed in close proximity. However, if the floor height of the first floor of the second building is higher than the floor heights of each floor up to the second floor of the first building, the height position of the point where the second end is installed in close proximity will be at a relatively high position. This will reduce the height difference between the first and second ends of the canopy structure 4, making it easier to connect the first and second buildings, which have different exterior designs, and maintain design unity.

[0073] Furthermore, the canopy structure 4 according to this embodiment includes an overhanging portion 42 that extends from the outer wall of the second building (industrial support facility 1) toward the first building (apartment building 2), and a support column 43 that penetrates the overhanging portion 42 and is fixed to the overhanging portion 42, and the inclined surface portion 412 is connected to the support column 43 in an unfixed state. According to this, the canopy body 41 of the canopy structure 4 can be prevented from being affected by vibrations generated from the second building (industrial support facility 1). In other words, the canopy body 41 can be prevented from being affected by vibrations generated from the second building in the first building (apartment building 2) to which it is fixed. Therefore, the canopy structure 4 can be suitably installed between the first building and the second building.

[0074] Furthermore, in the canopy structure 4 according to this embodiment, there is an overhanging portion 42 that extends from the outer wall of the second building (industrial support facility 1) toward the first building (apartment building 2), and a support column 43 that penetrates the overhanging portion 42 without being fixed to it, and the inclined surface portion 412 is fixed to the support column 43. According to this, the canopy body 41 of the canopy structure 4 can be prevented from being affected by vibrations generated from the second building (industrial support facility 1). In other words, the canopy body 41 can be prevented from being affected by vibrations generated from the second building in the first building (apartment building 2) to which it is fixed. Therefore, the canopy structure 4 can be suitably installed between the first building and the second building.

[0075] Furthermore, in the canopy structure 4 according to this embodiment, the second building (industrial support facility 1) is a factory building, and the first building (apartment complex 2) is an apartment complex where people who work in the second building reside. According to this, it is possible to maintain design unity by linking the first and second buildings, which have different exterior designs—one being a residential complex and the other a factory building. Furthermore, it is possible to provide a facility that is close to a work-life integrated type, that is, a facility where work and living are in close proximity.

[0076] It should be noted that the embodiments to which the present invention can be applied are not limited to those described above, and can be modified as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the invention. For example, the support column 43 in the above embodiment does not have to penetrate the overhang portion 42. The upper end of the support column 43 may be positioned at a fixed position with respect to the overhang portion 42.

[0077] Furthermore, 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. The canopy structure 4 of this embodiment is made partly of wood, and therefore can contribute to the realization of a decarbonized society through the promotion of carbon neutrality and the achievement of the SDGs.

[0078] Furthermore, by equipping the mixed-use site 100 with industrial support facilities 1 and apartment buildings 2, it will be possible to promote the creation of a town where people working in manufacturing can live and work. Furthermore, after the completion of the rebuilding of the integrated residential and industrial factory, and the subsequent departure of residents from Industrial Support Facility 1 and Apartment Building 2, the temporary relocation of the next integrated residential and industrial factory can be accommodated, thereby accelerating the functional renewal cycle of the area where the mixed-use site 100 is located. In other words, it can contribute to achieving SDG Goal 11, "Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and [Explanation of symbols]
