Experiment was done at the actual size utility room using the elderly with the disability. We made an experiment about the entrance width, passage width and the relations for easiness of the indoor movement, and an appropriate dimension was confirmed. We made an experiment about assisting transfer space for the elderly in toilet, and a proper space was confirmed. There is the difference with the easiness to use by the arrangement of the rest room, the wash room and the bathroom. We designed the standard plan of the public housing as these results of an experiment.
