A veranda around the outside of a building, adjacent to a room, with fully or partially open sides and usually covered with a roof. It may be thought of as a gallery-style porch or a covered balcony. The roof is often supported by a regular arrangement of columns, and the floor is paved with planks, stones, bricks, or other materials. The word originates from the Hindi word barandah (meaning a portico), and refers to an extension of the living space inside a building to the outdoors. It is sometimes called a sun deck because it has handrails all around. In recent years, in Japanese architecture, verandas have been made wider and made like sunrooms, and are used as an extension of the tea room or living room, or as a play area for children or for growing plants. Generally, verandas are wider and have deeper eaves than wet verandas, so they are less exposed to rain and dew.

部屋に接して建物の外回りに設けられた縁。側面は全部または部分的に開放され、通常は屋根が取り付けられている。ギャラリー形式のポーチ、屋根付きのバルコニーと考えてよい。屋根は多くの場合、規則正しく並んだ柱で支持され、床は、板、石、れんがその他で舗装される。 語源をヒンディー語のbarandah(柱廊玄関の意)にもち、建物内部の生活空間が戸外に延長された部分としての性格を備える。四周に手すりなどを巡らせていることもあり、サンデッキとよばれたりする。近年、日本建築で、縁側の幅を広くとり、サンルーム風にし、茶の間や居間の延長として用いたり、子供の遊び場、植物の栽培などにあてる空間として位置づけることもある。一般に、濡(ぬ)れ縁に比べて、幅が広く、庇(ひさし)が深いので、直接雨露を受けることが少ない。 [中村 仁] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
