Description

  The present invention relates to a bathroom, and more particularly, to a washroom expansion type bathroom formed so as to ensure a wide floor area of a washroom without changing a building frame.

Conventionally, for example, a niche panel is installed between a bathroom and a dressing room, and the lower part of the bathroom formed in the storage space inside the niche panel and the mirror provided on the side wall is inclined obliquely upward. The bathroom to perform is well-known (for example, refer patent document 1, 2).
As can be seen from these known examples, conventionally, a counter on which bathing utensils are placed is usually provided protruding from the side wall facing the washing place to the washing place side.

By the way, in the recent aging society, there are increasing cases of bathing in a wheelchair or bathing with a caregiver. Therefore, it is desirable that the bathroom has a wide washing area so that it does not become narrow when bathing in a wheelchair.
However, as described above, a conventional bathroom is provided with a counter on which a washbasin or the like is placed so as to protrude from the side wall facing the washing area to the washing area. Therefore, the problem with the conventional bathroom is that it is unavoidable that the area of the washing area becomes narrow by the amount of the protruding counter (usually about 300 mm), and as a result, for example, when bathing in a wheelchair, it is inconvenient. was there.
Therefore, in this case, if a concrete foundation or foundation, which is an architectural body of a bathroom, is broken or the washing place is expanded by expanding the foundation outward, the construction becomes large and the cost is high.
