is formed. Further, a foot-wiping area 4 is formed on the floor pan 11 adjacent to the washing area 2. This foot-wiping area 4 is formed by convexly bending the floor pan 11 into a table-like shape so that it is one step higher than the washing area 2.
A foot wiping mat 14 and the like are spread on the flat surface of the foot wiping area 4. A doorway 3 that opens to a front room such as a dressing room provided next to bathroom unit A is provided facing this foot-wiping area 4, and a door 15 is attached to the doorway 3 so that it can be opened and closed. . Further, a shower room 16 is formed in the bathroom 22) A adjacent to the foot-wiping area 4. The floor 17 of the shower room 16 is formed as a part of the floor pan 11 together with the washing area 2 and the foot-wiping area 4, and is lower than the foot-wiping area 4.
It should be about the same height as the Shower room 16
A drainboard 18 is provided on the floor 17. By providing the drainboard 18, the floor 17 of the shower room 16 can drain well, and even if you take a shower at night, the floor 17
You can keep it dry at all times, so you can feel comfortable taking a shower anytime. The shower water passes through the drainboard 18 and reaches the drainboard 18.

By removing 8, you can use this drainage basin to clean things like rags, motu, shoes, etc., and also allow children to play in the water. Since the shower room 16 is also adjacent to the bathtub 10, a screen 19 is provided between the shower room 16 and the bathtub 10 to prevent shower water from scattering into the bathtub 10. Bathroom unit) Screen 1 so that the entire room in A does not feel small
9 is preferably made of a transparent or nearly transparent plastic plate. In addition, a shower curtain 20 is provided between the shower room 16 and the foot wiping area 4 so as to be slidable and openable so as to prevent shower water from scattering on the foot wiping area 4. 1st
In Fig. 2, 21 is the shower nozzle, 22 is the storage recess 3
A large mirror is provided at 9, and a shelf is provided at 23 in the storage recess 39, allowing the inside of the bathroom unit A to be used as a washroom. In the above embodiment, the washing area 2, the foot-wiping area 4, and the floor 17 of the shower room 16 are integrally formed by the floor pan 11, but they may be formed from separate waterproof pans and combined.

As shown in Figure 3, it becomes possible to horizontally rotate the bathroom unit A to the outside to form an outward opening, which eliminates the above-mentioned problem. 5 and 6 show other embodiments of the present invention, in which numeral 36 indicates a horizontally thick mirror (formed) so that it can be seen from both the bathtub 10 and the bench 27; A curtain rail 38 is used to slidably hang the shower curtain 20 that separates the foot-wiping area 4 from the washing area 2.
The screen 38 is a screen provided to separate the bench 27 and the foot-wiping area 4, and it is preferable that the screen 38 be made of a transparent or nearly transparent plastic plate so as not to make the entire interior of the bathroom unit (A) feel small. Further, the ceiling is divided into three ceiling panels I3 to improve productivity and construction efficiency, and the central ceiling panel 13 is formed as an arched ceiling 13a. Incidentally, in the bathroom unit A, it is possible to form a toilet room whose floor surface is approximately the same height as the foot wiping area 4, or to form a satsuna room.
