In homes, each bedroom typically has its own closet (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
The closet is used as a storage space for the bedroom occupants' clothes and bags.

JP 2009-97256 A

Coats, jackets, and bags worn when going out are exposed to the outside air, making them susceptible to the adhesion of harmful substances such as viruses, pollen, and dust. Traditionally, when returning home, people would often put on their coats and carry their bags straight to their bedroom or living/dining room, increasing the risk of bringing viruses and other contaminants into their rooms. In recent years, there has been a desire to avoid such risks for hygiene and safety reasons, but since closets are usually only available in each bedroom, it is difficult to take effective measures.

An object of the present invention is to provide a house that can reduce the possibility of bringing harmful substances into living spaces.

The house of the present invention has a planar shape with opposing long sides and opposing short sides. The house of the present invention has at least one living room, a compartment including an entrance and first and second closets located outside the living room, and a dressing room located outside the living room . The shortest traffic line length connecting the first closet and the entrance is shorter than the shortest traffic line length connecting any living room to the entrance. The first closet is closer to the entrance than the second closet, the dressing room is located between the first and second closets, the entrance is located on one short side, and the compartments are concentrated in one corner of the house near the entrance. At least one living room has a living-dining room, and the entrance and living-dining room are connected only by a path through the dressing room and the second closet.

The present invention can provide a house that can reduce the possibility of bringing harmful substances into living spaces.

Several embodiments of the home of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the following embodiments, the home is a single dwelling unit in an apartment building, particularly a slab-type apartment building. However, the present invention is not limited to this and can also be applied to high-rise or super-high-rise tower-type apartment buildings and detached homes. In each floor plan, arrows indicate passage and indicate the presence of a door (not shown). Black arrows indicate access to the entrance E. The door can be selected from swing doors, sliding doors, etc. as appropriate. Access to the balcony BAL is through a sash window. Furthermore, solid lines in each floor plan indicate walls, and access is restricted only where the arrows are located. Dashed lines indicate functional areas. While doors may be installed, such as in a shoe closet SC, typically no walls or doors are provided to separate the areas.

(First embodiment)
FIG. 1 shows a plan view of an apartment building according to a first embodiment of the present invention. A dwelling unit 1 of the apartment building has a rectangular planar shape with pillars 2 at its four corners. A balcony BAL is provided along one short side of the dwelling unit 1, and a front door E for entering and exiting the dwelling unit 1 is provided along the other short side. The front door E faces an external corridor (not shown) of the apartment building. Other dwelling units adjoin the dwelling unit 1 along both long sides; in the case of a corner unit, other dwelling units adjoin the dwelling unit along only one long side, with the other long side forming an exterior wall of the apartment building.

Dwelling unit 1 of the apartment complex has a living/dining room, first to third bedrooms BR1-BR3, a hallway E, a bathroom B, a dressing room D, a toilet WC, and a hallway R. The living/dining room and first to third bedrooms BR1-BR3 are living rooms. The hallway R interconnects the living/dining room, first bedroom BR1, second bedroom BR2, the toilet WC, and dressing room D. Because the living/dining room is an LDK with a kitchen K attached, it will be referred to as an LDK in the following description, but the kitchen and living/dining room may be separate spaces. The number of bedrooms is not limited, and may be absent. In this case, part of the LDK is used as a bedroom. Therefore, in the present invention, at least one living room is sufficient. The first bedroom BR1 and the second bedroom BR2 are located on the entrance E side and can be accessed from the hallway R.
The third bedroom BR3 is connected only to the living, dining, and kitchen area, and cannot be accessed directly from the corridor R. The balcony BAL faces the living, dining, and kitchen area and the third bedroom BR3. The dressing room D is equipped with a sink S and also has a washing machine storage area W. The bathroom B can only be accessed through the dressing room D. A shoe closet SC is attached to the entrance E. The dressing room D, bathroom B, and toilet WC are concentrated near the longitudinal center of the dwelling unit 1.

The dwelling unit 1 of the apartment building of this embodiment further has a first closet C1 and a second closet C2. The first closet C1 is arranged along the corridor R. The first closet C1 is a wall storage unit provided outside the living room (LDK and first to third bedrooms BR1 to BR3). There are no particular restrictions on what can be stored in the first closet C1, but it is expected that it will mainly store outerwear such as coats and jackets worn outside when going out, as well as bags and backpacks. Whether or not to provide a door on the first closet C1 can be determined based on design considerations. In this embodiment, no door is provided and the stored items are exposed, but
A door may be installed, or a curtain rail may be installed on the ceiling so that the area can be partitioned with curtains. The first closet C1 is located near the entrance E, and when going from the entrance E to the living/dining/kitchen area or the first to third bedrooms BR1 to BR3, one must always pass by the first closet C1. Therefore, the shortest traffic line length connecting the first closet C1 and the entrance E is the same as that of any of the living rooms (
The length of the traffic line is shorter than the shortest traffic line connecting the living, dining, kitchen, and kitchen area (LDK) and the first to third bedrooms (BR1 to BR3) to the entrance E. The traffic line is, for example, the center of the boundary line between the entrance E and the corridor R, the first closet C1
It is defined by a combination of straight lines parallel to the long or short sides of the dwelling unit, with the starting and ending points being the center of the frontage and the center of the entrance to each room.

The second closet C2 is also located outside the living room (LDK and the first to third bedrooms BR1 to BR3). There are no particular restrictions on what can be stored in the second closet C2, but the main items to be stored in the second closet C2 are:
It is assumed that shirts, pants, skirts, underwear, etc. are stored in the second closet C2. As will be described later, part of the traffic flow within the dwelling unit 1 is connected to the second closet C2.
The second closet C2 passes through the closet C2. A hanger pole (not shown) is installed along the wall inside the second closet C2, but the space where the hanger pole is installed is not separated by a door. However, as with the first closet C1, a curtain rail may be installed on the ceiling so that this space can be separated by a curtain. The second closet C2 is adjacent to the living, dining, and kitchen area, and a dressing room D is located on the entrance E side of the second closet C2. The second closet C2 has a door leading to the dressing room D and a door leading to the living, dining, and kitchen area, and is directly connected to the dressing room D and the living, dining, and kitchen area. The second closet C2 is not connected to the hallway R, and access to the second closet C2 is possible only from the dressing room D or the living, dining, and kitchen area.

The first closet C1 is accessed from the dressing room D via the corridor R. Furthermore, as described above, direct access is possible from the dressing room D to the second closet C2 without passing through any other spaces. Therefore, in this embodiment, it is possible to move from the first closet C1 to the second closet C2 without passing through any other living room. Furthermore, the dressing room D is located on the shortest route connecting the first closet C1 and the second closet C2.

Second Embodiment
2 shows a floor plan of an apartment building according to a second embodiment of the present invention. In the dwelling unit 1 of this embodiment, a bathroom B, a dressing room D, and a second closet C2 are provided in the left area.
The third bedroom BR3 does not face the balcony BAL. On the other hand, the living, dining, and kitchen area (LDK) is located along the entire length of the short side of the dwelling unit 1, creating a more open LDK environment. Thus, the present invention allows for floor plans in which only the LDK area faces the balcony BAL, or in which both the LDK area and the bedrooms face each other, allowing for appropriate selection. The washbasin S is located adjacent to the dressing room D along the shortest traffic line connecting the first closet C1 and the dressing room D. Because the washbasin S faces directly to the hallway R, there is no need to enter the dressing room D to use the washbasin S. Because the washbasin S is located between the entrance E and the dressing room D, residents can wash their hands immediately after returning home. Although not shown, the washbasin S may be located directly facing the hallway R in the first embodiment, and the washbasin S may be located within the dressing room D in the second embodiment. In this way, the placement of the washbasin S can be selected according to the resident's wishes, but from the viewpoint of reducing the possibility of bringing harmful substances into the room, it is more preferable to place the washbasin S directly facing the corridor R. Since the rest of the configuration is the same as that of the first embodiment, detailed explanations will be omitted.

(Effects of the first and second embodiments)
FIG. 3 shows a floor plan of the apartment building of the comparative example.
BR3 are provided, and are arranged in the same positions as in the first embodiment.
The bathroom B and toilet WC are concentrated in the same location as in the first embodiment (although slightly closer to the balcony BAL). On the other hand, the first and second closets C1 and CL2 are not provided. Therefore, each bedroom is provided with a private closet C3. The private closet C3 has folding doors. As the rest is the same as in the first embodiment, detailed explanations will be omitted. Note that although each bedroom is assumed to be a Western-style room, the bedrooms may also be Japanese-style rooms, in which case the closet C3 also includes the closet.

4 and 5, the difference between the flow lines in the dwelling unit 1 of the first and second embodiments and the flow lines in the dwelling unit 1 of the comparative example will be described using an example of returning home. First, the comparative example will be described.
) shows the resident's route when returning home. Here, it is assumed that the resident uses the first bedroom BR1 as his/her own room. It is assumed that the resident acts in a way that prevents harmful substances such as viruses from entering the room as much as possible. When the resident returns home, he/she first goes to the sink S to wash his/her hands. Next, he/she enters the first bedroom BR1, takes off his/her coat and jacket, and goes to the private closet C.
3. At this time, the resident also stores their bag in the private closet C3. Next, they go through the corridor R to the dressing room D, take off their shirts, pants, skirts, etc., and, if necessary, put them in the washing machine installed in the washing machine area W. Next, they go back through the corridor R to the first bedroom BR1, take out their loungewear from the private closet C3, and change into their loungewear. After that, the resident enters the living, dining, and kitchen area, completing the series of actions they take when returning home.

Figure 5(b) shows the movement path during the aforementioned behavior upon returning home, with the circled numbers in the figure corresponding to the circled numbers in Figure 5(a). The first issue is bringing hazardous substances into the bedroom. Because the first bedroom BR1 has a dedicated closet C3 (or, conversely, because the first bedroom BR1 is the only space for storing the resident's clothing, etc.), it is easy for the resident to enter the first bedroom BR1 while wearing a contaminated coat, etc. Therefore, even though the bedroom is the place where hazardous substances are most desirably avoided, hazardous substances are likely to enter the bedroom. The resident's movement path shown in Figure 5 is only an example, and different behaviors are possible. However, in any case, there is a high possibility that the resident will enter the first bedroom BR1 while wearing a contaminated coat, etc. The second issue is the length of the movement path. In the example of Figure 5, the resident passes through the hallway R a total of five times, resulting in poor movement efficiency from changing into loungewear upon returning home to entering the living, dining, and kitchen area. The third issue is washing hands first. Since you touch your coat or bag with clean hands, the effectiveness of hand washing is halved.

In contrast, the first and second embodiments solve or mitigate the above-mentioned problems.
FIG. 4(a) shows the route of a resident returning home, which is common to the first and second embodiments. FIG. 4(b) shows the route of a resident returning home, which corresponds to FIG. 4(a) in the first embodiment, as shown in FIG.
4(c) shows a movement route corresponding to FIG. 4(a) in the second embodiment. When a resident returns home and enters the entrance E, they first take off their coat and store it in the first closet C1 next to the entrance E. At this time, they also store their bag in the first closet C1. Next, the resident goes to the sink S to wash their hands. Next, the resident enters the dressing room D, takes off their shirt, pants, skirt, etc., and, if necessary, places them in the washing machine installed in the washing machine area W. Next, they go directly from the dressing room D to the second closet C2 (directly), retrieve their loungewear from the second closet C2, and change into their loungewear. After that, the resident enters the living, dining, and kitchen area, completing the series of actions they take when returning home.

In the above series of actions upon returning home, the resident never enters the first bedroom BR1. Even if the resident needs to enter the first bedroom BR1, he or she has already changed into clean loungewear, so there is little chance that harmful substances attached to the coat or other items will enter the first bedroom BR1. Therefore, the first problem is solved or alleviated. Next, the first closet C1, sink S, changing room D, and second closet C2 that the resident enters in the series of actions upon returning home are arranged in the order of the actions, so the resident can move approximately the shortest distance from the entrance E to the living, dining, and kitchen area. Therefore, the movement efficiency from changing into loungewear upon returning home to entering the living, dining, and kitchen area is improved, and the second problem is solved or alleviated. Furthermore, since the resident first stores his or her contaminated coat or bag in the first closet C1 and then washes his or her hands, his or her clean hands will not be recontaminated by the coat or bag. Therefore, the third problem is also solved or alleviated. Note that the first place the resident enters the first closet C1 upon returning home is the first place the coat or bag is placed in.
However, by providing a first closet C1 for storing coats and bags next to the entrance E, it is possible to at least have the effect of encouraging residents to store their coats and bags in the first closet C1 first when they return home.

Next, the configuration of the first closet C1 will be described.
The first closet C1 is a rectangle having a long side and a short side, and the long side is along the corridor R (
The long side of the first closet C1 is aligned with the long side of the dwelling unit 1).
The depth of the first closet C1, i.e., the dimension perpendicular to the corridor R (the dimension parallel to the short side of the dwelling unit 1), is made as small as possible. Therefore, the dimension d1 of the first closet C1 along the corridor R is made larger than the dimension d2 perpendicular to the corridor R (see Figure 1). This is to ensure the width of the first bedroom BR1 in the short side direction. Generally, in slab-type apartment buildings,
The shape of the dwelling unit is a long, narrow rectangle, with the entrance E and balcony BAL located on the short side.
Furthermore, because bedrooms and other facilities are often located on both sides of the corridor R that runs parallel to the long side, there are significant constraints on the short side. On the other hand, there are not as many constraints on the long side, so it is easy to make the first closet C1's opening along the corridor R wide. This also improves the usability of the first closet C1, which is wall storage. For this reason, it is advantageous to make the opening along the corridor R as wide as possible and narrow the depth of the first closet C1.

Therefore, in the first and second embodiments, as shown in FIG. 6( a), the first closet C
1, a hanger pole 11 extending horizontally inside the closet 1 is provided with a diagonal groove 12. More specifically, a groove 12 for hanging a hanger 13 (see FIG. 6(b)) is formed on the top surface of the hanger pole 11, and the groove 12 is formed diagonally relative to the extension direction of the hanger pole 11. FIGS. 6(b) and 6(c) respectively show a front view and a top view of clothes 14 hanging on the hanger pole 11, with the left view showing a closet without the groove 12 and the right view showing a closet with the groove 12. Without the groove 12, clothes 14 are typically stored parallel to the depth of the closet, necessitating a certain depth. In contrast, narrowing the depth would require clothes 14 to be stored diagonally. In this case, the diagonal groove 12 allows hangers 13 to be hung so that they engage with the groove 12, stabilizing the position and orientation of the hangers 13.

(Third embodiment)
7 shows a floor plan of an apartment house according to a third embodiment of the present invention. In the following description, a first closet C1, a second closet C2, a dressing room D, a sink S, and an entrance E are referred to as closets C1, C2, C2, D, D, S, E, E, and E.
The corridor R connected to the semi-public space S is called the semi-public space SP.
The semi-public spaces SP are indicated by colored P. The semi-public spaces SP are spaces that people are likely to enter while wearing a coat or without washing their hands, and are therefore relatively likely to be contaminated with harmful substances. In this embodiment, by concentrating the semi-public spaces SP, into which harmful substances are likely to be brought, near the entrance E, it is possible to further reduce the possibility of bringing harmful substances into living spaces.

For this reason, in this embodiment, the semi-public space SP is concentrated in one corner 3 on the entrance E side of the house. Specifically, the entrance E is located in the corner 3, and the semi-public space SP is concentrated around the corner 3 where the entrance E is located. As a result, all living rooms are located outside the semi-public space SP (in the first and second embodiments, the first bedroom BR1 or the second bedroom BR2 is surrounded by the semi-public space SP). In this embodiment, the concept of first entering the semi-public space SP from the entrance E and then passing through the semi-public space SP to enter the living room is clearly realized. This further reduces the possibility of bringing harmful substances into the living room.

In this embodiment, the doors to the first to third bedrooms BR1 to BR3 are not located in the corridor R, and the first to third bedrooms BR1 to BR3 are connected only to the living, dining, and kitchen area. When residents return home, they are encouraged to take a route that takes them through the semi-public space SP and the living, dining, and kitchen area to enter their rooms, further reducing the possibility of bringing harmful substances into the rooms.
K is connected to the living/dining/kitchen area through door A, so he is allowed to enter directly into the living/dining/kitchen area when he returns home.
Therefore, when returning home, it is possible to enter the second bedroom BR2 and the third bedroom BR3 directly. This allows the user to avoid having to go through the second closet C2 and the dressing room D each time they use the washstand S or greet visitors at the entrance E, preventing the path of movement from becoming too long.

In addition, in this embodiment, the sink S is located adjacent to the first closet C1 and the dressing room D. This allows the sink S to be used even when other residents are using the dressing room D. Since it is possible to wash hands immediately after storing a coat in the first closet C1, this is also preferable in terms of reducing the introduction of harmful substances. By consolidating the semi-public space SP, the traffic flow when returning home is further shortened. By shortening the corridor R, it is also possible to expand the space for the living/dining/kitchen area and bedrooms. In this embodiment, two bedrooms are located on the short side of the entrance E, allowing natural lighting to enter all bedrooms.

(Fourth embodiment)
FIG. 8 shows a floor plan of an apartment building according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, as in the third embodiment, the semi-public space SP is concentrated in one corner 3 on the entrance E side of the house, and the first to third bedrooms BR1 to BR3 are connected only to the living, dining, and kitchen area. Meanwhile, because the washbasin S is located inside the dressing room D, the semi-public space SP is smaller than in the third embodiment. This further shortens the flow of people returning home. The rest of the configuration is the same as in the third embodiment.

Fifth Embodiment
Figure 9 shows a floor plan of an apartment building according to a ninth embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, as in the third embodiment, the semi-public space SP is concentrated in one corner 3 on the entrance E side of the house, and the first to third bedrooms BR1 to BR3 are connected only to the living, dining, and kitchen area.
In this embodiment, the living/dining/kitchen area and the corridor R are connected only via the second closet C2. In other words, when returning home, the person can bypass the second closet C2 and go to the living/dining/kitchen area or the first to third bedrooms BR1 to BR2.
It is impossible for anyone to enter door 3. This embodiment is designed to make it even more difficult for harmful substances to be brought into the living room compared to the other embodiments. Although not shown in the drawings, the same thing can be achieved even if door A is removed (replaced with a wall) in the third and fourth embodiments.

The present invention has been described above using several embodiments, but harmful substances in the present invention are not limited to viruses and may be pollen, dust, etc. Furthermore, the present invention is also effective when returning home with rain or snow on your coat, as it reduces the possibility of bringing rain or snow into your room.
