Research Abstract	IN RECENT YEARS WE HAVE HAD MANY CRITICAL DISCUSSIONS ON A LIVING ROOM WITH THE OVERLAP OF FAMILY LIFE AND RECEPTION AS A START.THE MOST OF THESE DISCUSSIONS ATTEMPT TO SOLVE THE PLOBLEMS BY THE SEPERATION OF RECEPTION OR HOUSEWORK FROM A LIVING ROOM,BUT THEY ARE ONE-SIDED.IF WE TURN OUR EYES ON THE PROCESS OF THE BIRTH OF A LIVNG ROOM AND THE FACT THAT THE SPREAD OF A PRIVATE ROOM URGES THE FORMATION OF THE COMMUNAL AREA AS COMMUNICATION SPACE,WE SHOULD THINK ABOUT A LIVING ROOM THAT ADMITS THE VARIOUS ACTS.IN THIS STUDY WE FOUCS INVESTIGATING WHAT A LIVING ROOM AS A MULTIPURPOSE SPACE SHOULD BE FROM THE ABOVE-MENTIONED VIEWPOINT. THE VARIETY OF ACTS IN A LIVING ROOM INCREASES ACCORDING TO ITS SIZE.THE DIFFERENCE CAUSED BY ITS SIZE IS CONSPICUOUS SPECIALLY ON THE ACT THAT NEEDS A WIDE FROOR SPACE SUCH AS HOUSEWORK,REST, CHILDREN'S PLAY,AND THE AGT THAT NEEDS A DESK OR A TABLE SUCH AS WORK AND STUDY.MANY HOMES INTEND TO ARRANGE THE OPEN FLOOR OR THE SPACE FOR SITTING DOWN,THOUGH THEY HAVE THE SOFA.WE CAN TAKE IT AS THE EFFORT TO MAKE THE PLACE FOR THE ABOVE-MENTIONED ACTS.AND THE CLOSET ARRANGED AT THE COMMUNAL AREA IS EFFECTIVE TO THE MANY THINGS PUT IN A LIVING ROOM.BUT IT CAN NOT INCREASE THE VARIETY OF ACTS.THE SIZE IS THE MOST INPORTANT MATTER FOR THE LIVING ROOM AS A MULTIPURPOSE SPACE IN CONCLUSION,AND IT SHOULD HAVE THE EXTENT WHICH CAN AFFORD THE SPACE FOR BTH OF EUROPEAN STYLE -TO SIT ON THE CHAIR-AND JAPANESE STYLE-TO SIT DOWN THE FLOOR
