A commercial building aims to combine three or more uses into one structure such as hotel,
retail, parking, transportation, cultural, and entertainment. Whatever the combination, it brings
together several uses within either one building or a small area. The two most common forms of
mixed-use design are:
Vertical. As a single, multi-story building, a typical mix places apartments on the upper levels
and retail or offices at street level. A basement level provides parking and/or access to
underground public transportation.
Horizontal. Spread over several buildings, such as a city block or around an open space or
courtyard, these individual buildings serve one or two specific uses while creating a microcosm
within a neighborhood.
Those who live in these developments do not have the same dependence on a car that people
who live in traditional neighborhoods have because they can walk or bike to work and to run many
of their errands, making it easier for them to stay active and function without a vehicle.
Additionally, retailers benefit from the traffic flow of customers who reside so close to their
businesses while residents enjoy the ease of proximity to so many options
perfect historical examples of early commercial building, live, work, play communities are
probably the medieval villages of the 5th-15th centuries. Densely built within towering city walls,
the medieval village is the perfect example of a functional, productive community, incorporating
all the rules of mixed-use development. This way of living not only benefited them socially in a
variety of ways, but it also served to provide them protection as well, since the walls were able to
protect the village more securely than if the villages were spread out over many hundreds of acres.
In fact, this way of living and structuring society was the norm, even in the US, up until
the early 1900s when development trends and patterns changed radically with the advent of the
trolley and the automobile.
In addition to people having access to more efficient modes of transportation, the population in the
US was also exploding at this time and as American cities swelled to dangerous levels, local governments
began to mandate segregation of land uses – for the health and welfare of it’s citizens.
Finely mixed use was the norm before the development of modern zoning and land-use practice
Such mixed-use commercial and residential areas thrived into the twentieth century, often at
intersections and transit stops
They also were more integrated with their urban contexts, as interest in historic preservation grew
SHOPS
from which customers pick their own goods should be no higher than 1.8 m and no lower
than 0.3 m above floor level.
Attention must be paid to circulation routes in larger shops -, @) + @. They should begin
at the trolley/basket pick-up and end at the check-outs.
All shops require some provision for the handling of goods. These needs may vary from
off-pavement deliveries for small units to the complex operations carried out by large retail
businesses.
Studio apartment
The smallest self-contained apartments are referred to as studio, efficiency or bachelor apartments in
the US, or studio flat in the UK. These units usually consist of a large single main room which acts as the
living room, dining room and bedroom combined and usually also includes kitchen facilities, with a
separate bathroom. In Korea, the term "one room" (wonroom) refers to a studio apartment
This is a slight step up from a studio and usually includes a separate sleeping room or 3/4 room.
LOFT
One large room with high ceilings. These usually exist in commercial buildings that have been
renovated to residential apartment units.
Identifying an apartment as luxury is a ploy to attract high-paying tenants and, more so, raise the
monthly rent. First and foremost, most luxury apartments are relatively new, meaning they were built
within the last five to seven years. Refurbished apartments are not considered luxury unless they were
completely gutted and rebuilt without regard for the original layout. Regardless of the leeway in
defining an apartment as “luxury”, however, there are a few things that are commonly thought of as
included in a luxury apartment
PENT HOUSE
A penthouse apartment or a penthouse (coined through French appentier) is an apartment or unit on
the highest floor of an apartment building, condominium, or hotel. Penthouses are typically differentiated
from other apartments by luxury features
A living room is a room in a home that's used for entertaining friends, talking, reading, or watching
television..... You can also call a living room a lounge, a sitting room, a front room, or a parlor.
For midium size living room A space of 12 x 18 ft (about 3.7 x 5.5m) would fit between 6 and 10 people in a
conversation area If you're lucky enough to have a living room size with dimensions larger than 15 x 20ft
(4.6 x 6.0m) then there is the possibility of bringing the sofas away from the walls, having deeper, more
luxurious sofas and creating secondary furniture groupings. Take a look at the living room layout page to
see some of the possibilities.
A dining room is a room for consuming food. In modern times it is usually adjacent to the kitchen for
convenience in serving, although in medieval times it was often on an entirely different floor level.
Historically the dining room is furnished with a rather large dining table and a number of dining chairs;
the most common shape is generally rectangular with two armed end chairs and an even number of un-
armed side chairs along the long sides.
To ensure comfort while sleeping, the bed length should be 250 mm longer than the individual's height.
Based on average heights, beds are produced in a range of standard sizes: 900 x 1900 mm, 1000 x 1900
mm, 1000 x 2000 mm, 1600 x 2000 mm and 2000 x 2000 mm. The bedroom layout should give at least
600 mm, preferably 750 mm, around the bed
Built-in cupboards and fitted wardrobes are ideal for owner occupied houses, whereas free -
standingunits are better for rented housing. With small rooms it is necessary to make use of every space
and this need can be satisfied effectively by creative use of built-in cupboards. Highly suitable are
complete fittedwardrobes or cupboard rooms in walls between the bedrooms.
A kitchen is a room or part of a room used for cooking and food preparation in a dwelling or in a
commercial establishment. A modern middle-class residential kitchen is typically equipped with a stove,
a sink with hot and cold running water, a refrigerator, and worktops and kitchen cabinets arranged
according to a modular design. Many households have a microwave oven, a dishwasher, and other electric
appliances. The main functions of a kitchen are to store, prepare and cook food (and to complete related
tasks such as dishwashing). The room or area may also be used for dining (or small meals such as
breakfast), entertaining and laundry
To be able to eat comfortably, one person requires a table area of around 60cm wide by 40cm deep.
This provides sufficient clearance between adjacent diners. Although an additional 20cm of space in the
centre for dishes and tureens is sometimes desirable, an overall width of 80-85cm is suitable for a dining
table. Round tables, or tables with six or eight sides, with a diameter of 90-120cm are ideal for four
people and can also take one or two more diners.
The sauna is more than a method of bathing: for many it is a type of physical cleansing,
almost a ritual, and it is now an essential part of all modern sports facilities. In Finland there is one
sauna for every six people. They are built to a standard traditional design and used once a week,
both communally within the family and also in public without segregation of the sexes.
The classic location for saunas is next to a clear lake with woods and meadows for air bathing between
sweat baths.
with a tea room is usually a towncentre business located in a busy area. A cafe does not serve alcoholic
drinks except for premium bottled beers, liqueurs etc., and specialises in hot and cold patisserie and
snacks. Tea rooms serve alcohol-free drinks, patisserie and sandwiches, and have capacity for about 150
seats. They normally open from 11.00 to 17 .30 p.m. They serve mainly pre-made meals, and therefore
need little storage space.

safety film. Projectionists operate several projectors; the projection room is no longer a
continuously used workplace for staff. 1 m of space behind the projector and at the operating side,

combined for several auditoriums.
