Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-184375

In recent years, "work style reform" has been promoted to drastically change the labor system, and the goal is to increase the labor productivity of individuals. Labor productivity (value-added labor productivity) is the quantity defined by dividing the value added created by workers by the number of workers and working hours. By doing value work, labor productivity can be increased.

Various proposals have been made to improve labor productivity, but few examples focus on concentration in office work. If a worker can concentrate on his/her work, he/she can finish the work in a shorter time than when the concentration is scattered, resulting in less error-prone deliverables and higher added value.

In office work, it can be considered that there are times when divergent thinking is required, such as when considering new ideas, and times when convergent thinking is required to work on a small number of considerations. However, conventional offices are often spatially designed according to the characteristics of the work, as described in Patent Document 1, for example, and whether it is possible to concentrate divergent thinking and convergent thinking was seldom considered.

Therefore, the present invention provides an office where divergent thinking and convergent thinking can be performed intensively.

By adopting such a structure, it is possible to reduce eye contact with other users and concentrate on work.

The office 100 according to this embodiment includes a plurality of first spaces S1, a plurality of second spaces S2, and a plurality of third spaces S3. The front direction d1 of the plurality of first spaces S1, the front direction d2 of the plurality of second spaces S2, and the front direction d3 of the plurality of third spaces S3 are the same direction. The plurality of first spaces S1 are arranged in a straight line on the side of the passage P so as to share the side surface, and the plurality of second spaces S2 are arranged in a straight line so as to share the side surface and are arranged on the wall W side. , and the plurality of third spaces S3 are arranged in a straight line between the first space S1 and the second space S2 so as to share the side surfaces. Between the plurality of first spaces S1 and the plurality of second spaces S2, not only the plurality of third spaces S3 but also two or more rows of spaces may be provided. In addition, according to the shape of the office 100, some of the plurality of first spaces S1 are arranged with different front directions, and some of the plurality of second spaces S2 are arranged with different front directions. Alternatively, some of the plurality of third spaces S3 may be arranged so that the front direction is different from the others.

A ratio H2/L2 between the distance L2 from the external passage EP to the second space S2 and the floor height H2 of the second space S2 is equal to or less than a predetermined value. Here, the predetermined value is set so that the person using the second desk D2 provided in the second space S2 cannot look into the inside of the third space S3 or the inside of the first space S1. defined in Here, the heights of users using the second space S2 and the sitting heights of users sitting in the second chairs C2 vary, but for example, the ratio H2/L2 is determined based on the average height or sitting height of men and women. good. Also, the distance L2 from the passage P to the second space S2 may be defined as, for example, the distance from the end of the passage P on the side of the first space S1 to the end of the entrance side of the second space S2. As a result, the privacy of the user of the first space S1 and the user of the third space S3 is maintained while ensuring a wide field of view for the user of the second space S2, allowing them to concentrate on their work.

A ratio H3/L3 between the distance L3 from the first space S1 to the third space S3 and the floor height H3 of the third space S3 is equal to or less than a predetermined value. Here, the predetermined value is determined so that a person who enters the third space S3 cannot look into the first space S1. Here, the heights or sitting heights of people who use the third space S3 vary, but for example, the ratio H3/L3 may be determined based on the average height or sitting height of men and women. Also, the distance L3 from the first space S1 to the third space S3 is, for example, the distance from the first desk D1 provided in the first space S1 to the third desk D3 provided in the third space S3. can be defined as As a result, the privacy of the user of the first space S1 is maintained, and the user can concentrate on the work.
