JP 2017-66597 A

When exercising indoors in an apartment building, there is a risk that large vibrations will be transmitted to neighboring houses. Therefore, we provide an apartment building that is less likely to transmit vibrations to neighboring houses.

(1) An apartment building that solves the above problem includes a plurality of houses, at least one of which includes a first room and a second room in which water is used, the second room having a soundproof first wall disposed on the side of the adjacent house, and the first room being disposed in the second room so as to be adjacent to a second wall on the opposite side of the first wall.

With this configuration, when the first room is in use, vibrations generated in the first room are less likely to be transmitted to the house adjacent to the second room side. In this way, an apartment building with the above configuration is less likely to transmit vibrations to adjacent houses.

(2) In the housing complex described in (1) above, the house further includes a third room where water is used, the third room being disposed adjacent to the first room on the opposite side of the first room from the second room, and the third room has a third wall adjacent to the first room and a fourth wall that is soundproof and disposed on the opposite side of the third wall in the third room.

With this configuration, when the first room is in use, vibrations generated in the first room are less likely to be transmitted to the neighboring house on the third room side. In this way, the apartment building is less likely to transmit vibrations to the neighboring houses.

(3) In the apartment building described in (1) or (2) above, the first room is provided in a raised area. With this configuration, a space is formed below the first room. This makes it possible to prevent vibrations from the first room from being transmitted to other rooms via the floor.

(4) In the apartment building of (3) above, a recess is provided in the raised area, and an exercise mat is placed in the recess. With this configuration, it is possible to prevent the exercise mat from shifting out of position when exercising on the exercise mat.

(5) In any one of the apartment buildings described above in (1) to (4), the ceiling of the first room is lower than the ceilings of the other rooms. With this configuration, a space is formed above the first room. This makes it possible to prevent vibrations from the first room from being transmitted to the upper floors.

(6) In the apartment building of any one of (1) to (5) above, the ceiling of the first room is inclined, and gripping portions are provided at multiple points on the ceiling at different heights.
With this configuration, different exercises can be performed in the first room using grip parts of different heights.

(7) In the apartment building of (6) above, the ceiling of the first room is inclined outward, and the first room has a window that opens to the outside, and the window is arranged so that the upper end of the window is located at the boundary between the wall and the ceiling. With this configuration, since the part directly below the ceiling is open, a higher sense of openness is achieved compared to a room in which a wall is provided directly below the ceiling.

The above apartment complex does not transmit vibrations easily to neighboring houses.

Floor plan of an apartment building. Floor plan of the house. A cross-sectional view of the house taken along line III-III in Figure 2. FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional view of a first modified example of a house. FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional view of a second modified example of a house.

The apartment building will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.
As shown in Fig. 1, an apartment building 1 includes a plurality of homes 2. The apartment building 1 may be a single-storey building or may have multiple floors. A home 2 is adjacent to another home 2. Alternatively, a home 2 is disposed between two other homes 2.

As shown in FIG. 1, in this embodiment, multiple residences 2 are arranged in a row. The multiple residences 2 face a shared corridor 3. Each of the multiple residences 2 has an outer floor portion 4 on the opposite side to the corridor 3. The outer floor portion 4 is a balcony, veranda, or terrace.

As shown in FIG. 2, at least one of the multiple houses 2 includes a first room 11 and a second room 12 in which water is used. In this embodiment, the house 2 further includes a third room 13 in which water is used.

The first room 11 is a room used for the purpose of suppressing the transmission of vibrations or sounds associated with activities to the adjacent house 2. For example, the first room 11 is used for purposes such as exercising or doing gymnastics, listening to music, letting children play, singing, reciting, and performing. The first room 11 is soundproof, so it may also be used as a relaxation space.

The second room 12 and the third room 13 are rooms in which noise is generated by the use of water. The kitchen generates less noise and is less likely to generate unpleasant sounds than a toilet room, a bathroom, and a washroom. Suitable examples of the second room 12 and the third room 13 include a toilet room, a bathroom, and a washroom. In this embodiment, the second room 12 is a bathroom. The third room 13 is a toilet.

The second room 12 has a first wall 21 provided on the side facing the neighboring house 2, and a second wall 22 on the opposite side to the first wall 21. The first wall 21 is constructed as a soundproof wall. The sound of water generated in the second room 12 is blocked by the first wall 21, and sound leakage to the neighboring house 2 is suppressed.

The third room 13 is disposed adjacent to the first room 11 on the opposite side of the first room 11 from the second room 12 .
The third room 13 has a third wall 23 adjacent to the first room 11, and a fourth wall 24 disposed on the opposite side of the third wall 23 in the third room 13. The fourth wall 24 is configured as a soundproof wall. The sound of water generated in the third room 13 is blocked by the fourth wall 24, and sound leakage to the adjacent house 2 is suppressed.

The first room 11 is provided in the second room 12 so as to be in contact with the second wall 22. The first room 11 is also provided in the third room 13 so as to be in contact with the third wall 23. In other words, the first room 11 is sandwiched between the second room 12 and the third room 13.

Sound generated in the first room 11 is blocked by the interior space of the second room 12 and the soundproof first wall 21 of the second room 12, and by the interior space of the third room 13 and the soundproof fourth wall 24 of the third room 13. Sound generated in the first room 11 leaks into the second room 12 and the third room 13. However, the second room 12 and the third room 13 are used infrequently and for shorter periods of time than the other rooms, and the sound from the first room 11 is drowned out by the sound of water generated when the second room 12 and the third room 13 are in use, so sound leakage is unlikely to cause discomfort when the second room 12 and the third room 13 are used.

The first room 11 is surrounded by the second wall 22, the third wall 23, the fifth wall 25 provided on the side opposite the corridor 3, and the sixth wall 26 on the corridor 3 side. The second wall 22, the third wall 23, and the sixth wall 26 are reinforced with a reinforcing base material. The floor 31A of the first room 11 is reinforced with a floor reinforcing member. Furthermore, the ceiling 42 of the first room 11 is reinforced with a reinforcing base material. With such reinforcement, the exercise handrail 44 can be attached directly to the second wall 22, the third wall 23, or the sixth wall 26. Also, the grip part 43 can be attached directly to the ceiling 42.

In this embodiment, the first room 11 to the third room 13 are connected to the fourth room 14. The first room 11 is connected to the fourth room 14 through an opening 33. The second room 12 is connected to the fourth room 14 through the fifth room 15. The third room 13 is connected to the fourth room 14 through the sixth room 16. In this embodiment, the fourth room 14 is a bedroom. The fifth room 15 is a washroom. The sixth room 16 is an indoor corridor.

The first room 11 and the fourth room 14 are separated by a fifth wall 25. Preferably, the fifth wall 25 is a lattice wall. By constructing the fifth wall 25 as a lattice wall, ventilation to the first room 11 is ensured. Also, by having the fifth wall 25 as a lattice wall, the design of the fourth room 14 is improved. Furthermore, by having the fifth wall 25 as a lattice wall, communication between the first room 11 and the fourth room 14 is facilitated. Communication includes conversation, communication through simple gestures, and visual confirmation of safety.

The house 2 further has a seventh room 17. The seventh room 17 has an exterior window 19. In this embodiment, the seventh room 17 is a living room. The seventh room 17 is provided adjacent to the fourth room 14. The fourth room 14 and the seventh room 17 are separated by a sliding door 18. When the sliding door 18 is opened, the first room 11, the fourth room 14, and the seventh room 17 form an integrated indoor space. Preferably, to ensure ventilation, as in this embodiment, the first room 11, the fourth room 14, and the seventh room 17 are arranged in a straight line. More preferably, the window 41 of the sixth wall 26 of the first room 11, the fifth wall 25, and the exterior window 19 of the seventh room 17 are arranged to intersect a predetermined straight line LA.

As shown in FIG. 3, the first room 11 is preferably provided on a raised area 31. The floor 31A of the raised area 31 is higher than the floors 20 of the fourth room 14, the second room 12, and the third room 13. The first room 11 is connected to the fourth room 14 via a one or two-step staircase 32 (see FIG. 2). The staircase 32 is connected to an opening 33 in the first room 11.

A recess 34 is provided in the raised portion 31, and an exercise mat 35 is placed in the recess 34. In one example, the recess 34 is configured in a rectangular shape. An anti-slip sheet may or may not be provided on the back surface of the exercise mat 35. By placing the exercise mat 35 in the recess 34, the exercise mat 35 is prevented from slipping.

A storage section 36 may be provided under the floor of the raised section 31. The storage section 36 is provided next to the recessed section 34. The storage section 36 opens to the floor 31A. The opening of the storage section 36 is closed by a lid that constitutes the floor. Preferably, the storage section 36 is provided along the ascending/descending direction DA of the stairs 32. The recessed section 34 is provided in an area outside the ascending/descending direction DA of the stairs 32 (see FIG. 2).

The first room 11 preferably has a window 41 that opens to the outside. Specifically, in the first room 11, the window 41 is provided in the sixth wall 26 on the corridor 3 side. The lower end 41B of the window 41 is provided at a specified height position that is equal to or higher than a specified height from the floor 31A of the first room 11. The specified height is, for example, the eye level of an adult. In this case, the height of the lower end 41B of the window 41 from the floor of the corridor 3 is the specified height position plus the height of the raised portion 31, which is higher than the eye level of an adult in the corridor 3. This makes it possible to block the line of sight of passersby in the corridor 3, while allowing outside air and light to enter the room.

The sixth wall 26 may be provided with a handrail 44 for exercise. The handrail 44 is provided along the sixth wall 26. The handrail 44 is attached below the window 41. The handrail 44 is preferably configured to withstand a load equal to or greater than the weight of an adult.

As shown in FIG. 3, the ceiling 42 of the first room 11 is lower than the ceilings of the other rooms. The height of the attic of the first room 11 is greater than the height of the attic of the other rooms. Furthermore, the ceiling 42 of the first room 11 is inclined. Preferably, the ceiling 42 of the first room 11 is inclined outward. In this embodiment, the ceiling 42 is inclined downward from the fourth room 14 toward the sixth wall 26 on the corridor 3 side. The window 41 of the sixth wall 26 is provided so that the upper end 41A of the window 41 is located at the boundary between the sixth wall 26 and the ceiling 42.

The ceiling 42 is provided with gripping portions 43 at a plurality of locations at different heights on the ceiling 42. The gripping portions 43 may be rods or hanging rings.
In the first room 11, a mirror 45 may be provided on the third wall 23. The mirror 45 is preferably large enough to reflect the entire body. A display device connected to an imaging device may be provided on the third wall 23. For example, the imaging device is installed on the ceiling 42. The imaging device is used to capture an image of a person exercising.

Exercise equipment with a grip part 43 requires a certain amount of installation space because it is equipped with a stand that supports the grip part 43. For this reason, placing the exercise equipment in a room reduces the exercise space. In this regard, in the first room 11, the grip part 43 is attached directly to the ceiling 42, so exercise space is secured. Also, in the first room 11, the handrail 44 is attached directly to the sixth wall 26, so exercise space is secured.

The operation of this embodiment will now be described.
The second room 12 is disposed between the first room 11 and the adjacent house 2. The second room 12 is a room where water is used, and has a soundproof first wall 21 on the side of the adjacent house 2. In this way, the first room 11 is separated from the adjacent house by the space of the second room 12 and the soundproof first wall 21. This suppresses sound leakage or transmission of vibration to the adjacent house 2. If the second room 12 where water is used is not disposed between the first room 11 and the adjacent house 2 but is disposed in another location, it is necessary to provide a soundproof wall in each of the first room 11 and the second room 12, but according to the above-mentioned arrangement, the soundproof first wall 21 is shared as a soundproof wall for each of the two rooms. In this way, the number of components of the house 2 can be reduced.

The effects of this embodiment will be described.
(1) At least one of the multiple residences 2 includes a first room 11 and a second room 12 in which water is used. The second room 12 has a soundproof first wall 21 provided on the side of the adjacent residence 2. The first room 11 is provided in the second room 12 so as to be in contact with the second wall 22 on the opposite side of the first wall 21. With this configuration, when the first room 11 is used, vibrations generated in the first room 11 can be made less likely to be transmitted to the adjacent residence 2 on the second room 12 side. In this way, the apartment building 1 configured as described above is less likely to transmit vibrations to the adjacent residence 2.

(2) The house 2 further includes a third room 13 where water is used. The third room 13 is arranged adjacent to the first room 11 on the opposite side of the first room 11 from the second room 12. The third room 13 has a third wall 23 that contacts the first room 11, and a soundproof fourth wall 24 that is arranged on the opposite side of the third wall 23 in the third room 13. With this configuration, when the first room 11 is in use, vibrations generated in the first room 11 can be made less likely to be transmitted to the house 2 adjacent to the third room 13 side. In this way, the apartment building 1 is less likely to transmit vibrations to the adjacent house 2.

(3) The first room 11 is provided on the raised portion 31. With this configuration, a space is formed below the first room 11. This makes it possible to prevent vibrations from the first room 11 from being transmitted to other rooms via the floor 31A.

(4) A recess 34 is provided in the raised portion 31, and an exercise mat 35 is placed in the recess 34. This configuration can prevent the exercise mat 35 from shifting out of position when exercising on the exercise mat 35. In addition, because the exercise mat 35 is laid in the first room 11, vibrations of the floor 31A generated in the first room 11 are less likely to be transmitted to the surrounding area of the first room 11.

(5) The ceiling 42 of the first room 11 is lower than the ceilings of the other rooms. With this configuration, a space is formed above the first room 11. This makes it possible to prevent vibrations from the first room 11 from being transmitted to the upper floors.

(6) The ceiling 42 of the first room 11 is inclined, and gripping parts 43 are provided at multiple locations at different heights on the ceiling 42. With this configuration, different exercises can be performed in the first room 11 using the gripping parts 43 at different heights.

(7) The ceiling 42 of the first room 11 slopes outward. The first room 11 has a window 41 that opens to the outside. The window 41 is provided so that the upper end 41A of the window 41 is located at the boundary between the sixth wall 26 and the ceiling 42. With this configuration, the portion directly below the ceiling 42 is open, providing a greater sense of openness than a room in which a wall is provided directly below the ceiling 42.

(8) In the first room 11, the recess 34 in which the exercise mat 35 is laid is provided in an area that is off the ascending and descending direction DA of the stairs 32. This makes it possible to visually indicate the exercise area. Furthermore, by locating the recess 34 in an area that is off the ascending and descending direction DA of the stairs 32, it is possible to prevent falling off the stairs 32 while exercising.

<Modification>
The above embodiment is an example of a form that the apartment building 1 can take, and is not intended to limit the form. The apartment building 1 can take a form different from the form exemplified in the embodiment. One example is a form in which part of the configuration of the embodiment is replaced, changed, or omitted, or a form in which a new configuration is added to the embodiment. An example of a modified embodiment is shown below.

- As shown in FIG. 4, the ceiling 42 of the first room 11 may be inclined upward from the fourth room 14 toward the sixth wall 26 on the corridor 3 side. The window 41 of the sixth wall 26 is provided so that the upper end 41A of the window 41 is located at the boundary between the sixth wall 26 and the ceiling 42. In this case, the window 41 can be positioned even higher than in the embodiment. This can block the line of sight of passersby in the corridor. Also, since the ceiling 42 is inclined upward, the ceiling 42 of the first room 11 is higher than the ceilings of the other rooms, and the floor 31A of the raised portion 31 can be made even higher. In this case, the volume of the storage section 36 of the raised portion 31 can be increased.

- As shown in FIG. 5, the ceiling 42 of the first room 11 may have multiple sections with different heights. For example, the ceiling 42 includes a first ceiling section 42A and a second ceiling section 42B that is lower than the first ceiling section 42A. The first ceiling section 42A is provided on the fourth room 14 side, and the second ceiling section 42B is provided on the sixth wall 26 side. It is preferable that the first ceiling section 42A and the second ceiling section 42B are configured horizontally. A gripping portion 43 is provided on each of the first ceiling section 42A and the second ceiling section 42B. Multiple gripping portions 43 may be provided on at least one of the first ceiling section 42A and the second ceiling section 42B. In this configuration, since the first ceiling section 42A and the second ceiling section 42B are horizontal, the installation work of the gripping portion 43 is easy.
