1. The mall has been designed to cater multiple needs of the users in terms of shopping, cinema,
fun
and food.
2. The mall offers services of both national and international brands under one roof and hence,
the greater footfall.
3. User movement patterns have been properly studied while designing the mall such that the
indoor kiosks and sitting areas have been properly designed.
4. The toilets are sufficient. However, handicapped toilet facilities have not been given.
5. The areas at Elante with the least footfall is being promoted by addition of new escalators and
other
maintenance strategies.
6. Columns near the escalators have clear maps describing the floor and the brands on each
floor to promote user ease of access.
7. Fire safety plans have also been placed at locations where they can be easily seen in case of
fire.
8. The dump yards and garbage removal is being efficiently carried out in the mall.
9. Slope has been provided in the ground floor of the mall and is not a correct practice to be
done in a corridor.
10. The circulation areas are well ventilated and wherever possible, natural light is being brought
inside the building.
11. The mall does not completely disconnect its user form the outer landscaping, rather, the
courtyard is beautifully designed to promote the footfall.
12. The mall is equipped with all the services except for the parking which is insufficient at all times.

• The means of achieving this is normally based on the concept of "anchors," or "pulls,".
These merchandising units that have maximum appeal to the customer .
• The typical shopper is usually attracted to a center primarily by the type and range of
merchandise offered by the major department stores . This appeal is supplemented by the
opportunity for convenient comparison shopping in the many smaller or satellite stores .
• Because of the customer activity generated by the appeal of the department stores, these major
units are spaced at strategic spots, such as at each end of a one- or two-level pedestrian mall
whose length is lined on each side with the smaller satellite stores .
• The flow of customers from these major units to each other then draws people past the smaller
stores,
where they stop enroute for impulse and comparative shopping .
• The key to this planning is the avoidance of any dead ends or out-of-the-way locations for the
smaller stores and the concentration of all shopping on clearly defined routes connecting with
major "anchors," or "pulls,“ i .e ., the department stores .
THE
MALL
1. Enclosed malls have been in the form of huge courts ; they have been wide, narrow, straight,
circuitous, empty, or filled with amenities ; they have had one level or two or more levels ; and
they have been lighted by skylights or solely by artificial means.
2. The trend has been steadily away from wide malls and court-type malls . Currently widths of
30 to 40 ft are outnumbering widths of 50 ft or more.
3. The wider malls require more landscaping and features to avoid a barren atmosphere. They
also require more cubage and hence are less economical despite the possibility of high rents
from kiosks and similar features spotted along their lengths.
4. Narrow malls facilitate back and forth comparison shopping from one side to the other and
hence significantly aid the customer's exposure to the merchandise .
5. The length of malls generally should not be more than 800 ft (preferably less) between
department stores or other major features ; but, in the case of more than two department
stores, total length can be substantially more.
PARKIN
G
In suburban areas where almost all the trade comes by automobile, a ratio of between 5 and 6
car spaces per 1,000 sq ft of leasable store area is mandatory .
In the central business district, where mass transportation and walk-in trade can be counted on
for a substantial part of the clientele, the ratio can go down to as low as 2.5 to 3 cars per 1,000
sq ft .
In strip centers, customer parking is generally between the roadway and the line of
storefronts . In regional suburban centers, the parking normally is on grade and completely
surrounding the. shopping complex .
In central-business-district projects, because of very high land cost, the parking usually ties to
be multideck and is preferably contiguous, connecting directly with different levels of the
center .
It can also, for further economy of land use, be above the retail floors on decks as roof parking
; or, more customarily, it can be below the retail levels in basement or partial basement
locations .
Two accessible parking lots with dimension 3600mm X 5000mm.
Parking should be within 30 meters of the main entrance the
building.
Parking Bollards should be 1000 mm high, painted in contrasting color stripes with clear minimum
gap of 1200 mm.
PARKIN
G
1. In the case of multi-use central-business-district structures, the proper column spacing,
requirements of parking, merchandising, offices, and hotel use vary considerably, and the
planning becomes very involved .
2. There are a number of ramp systems for decked parking and various patterns of parking
lanes or bays for both ramped and grade parking.
3. In the case of grade parking, lanes or bays should generally be at right angles to the
building facades to enable shoppers to walk directly to the building complex without
threading through park.
4. The architect for the project should be more concerned with convenience, simplicity,
and customer's freedom of choice in selecting her route and parking procedure
5. Width of the footpath should 1800 mm and minimum clear unobstructed path should
be 1200 mm.
6. Height of the footpath not to be more than 150 mm form the road level.
7. Width should not be less than 1200mm
8. Footpath flushed with roadway, at a gradient not exceeding that 1:12.

REQUIREMENTS
STORE AND DESIGN
LAYOUTS
WASTE DISPOSAL
SERVICES
• Servicing involves the delivery of goods to the various stores and also the removal of trash and
garbage. In the simple strip center, the servicing is customarily by an alley in the rear of the
strip of stores . It is desirable to conceal the alley from adjacent neighborhood areas by a
wall or landscaping. Servicing is customarily by one of the following :
• Underground service tunnel, usually under the mall, connecting directly to tenant leased
basements which connect, in turn, to the stores above. This system avoids all unsightly trash,
keeps parked trucks out of the way, and avoids allocation of prime parking space to servicing. It
also relegates non-selling activities to the basement, reserving the main floor for sales.
• Service courts on the periphery of the building complex. These are usually partially shielded
from public view by masonry walls 6 to 10 ft high or higher .
• Over-the-curb and sidewalk directly from the street . This is the cheapest and uses the least lend,
but it requires rigid enforcement of cleanliness by the project management, delivery of
merchandise and removal of trash generally before or after business hours, and the mandatory
inclusion of trash rooms in each store.
• The use of strategically placed freight elevators is necessary. These usually connect to fireproof
passages at the rear of the stores (whether on an upper level or below grade) and often serve
also as fire exits . With this type of project, necessitating service corridors, service courts can
usually be fewer and more concentrated .

CRITERAS
1. Column Spacing
Significant dimension is along the mall as this involves the widths, i .e ., frontages, of stores . Often
used spaces are 20, 25 and 30ft, with the last the roost flexible . Dimension from mall to rear of
store can be set by the most economical structural system . It is essential to arrive at the most
economical structural system, as the roof is a major cost factor .
2. Store Depths
For one-story stores, buildings are usually 120 to 140 ft deep, sometimes more to accommodate
larger stores . If there are basements or mezzanines, the depth dimension usually can be reduced
20 to 25 percent.
3. Clear Heights
These vary from 10 to 14 ft or more, with 12 ft a good average . Above this clear height, there
must be adequate space for air conditioning ducts, recessed lights, structural system, etc .
4. Ducts and Shafts
The shells of the buildings must be flexible enough to accommodate any reasonable tenant
requirements . It is essential that the mechanical engineer set up a schedule of the location and
sizes of the principal duct runs and shafts to avoid serious future space problems. This requirement
includes special exhaust ventilation through the roof and all other mechanical items that can be
anticipated as to design and length of runs . Individual plants in each store require roof space,
cooling towers, etc .
5. Roof Equipment Concealment
The inexcusable eyesores so often seen can be avoided by proper coordination of work between
the leasing agent, the architect, and the mechanical engineer and the resulting provision of
properly located and designed roof screens and enclosures .
7. Exterior Walls
As these may have, depending on each store's requirements, service doors, public entrance doors,
trash rooms, show windows, etc ., a modular design that can suitably accommodate for visual effect
any of these features is very desirable . Show windows and public entrances are rare on parking lot
facades, as it has been found that the great majority of customers enter stores from the mall rather
than directly from the parking lot . Public entrances from the parking lot usually occur only for
