Building Layout

The building layout should be arranged


with respect to various functions. For
customers and employees alike, this is
the key to time and labor savings.
With customer flow as the top priority,
the side facing onto the frontal road
should be used for the customer-related
space.
Consideration should be taken to
avoid overlapping of customer and
employee flows, making each flow as
short, simple, and smooth as possible.
Particular attention should be devoted
to the customer flow in this respect.
