What is particular about the layout design of shopping malls?

Abstract: In addition to the types and quality of goods and a series of related services, the management of shopping malls should also pay attention to the layout of each location. Where are toilets and escalators? How to choose the location of the store? How are the fire exits distributed? These are very important for a shopping mall. Let's see how the layout of the shopping mall should be designed. Shopping Mall Layout: What is important in shopping mall layout design? How to choose the location of the store?

Toilets should not be distributed on the first floor.

The developer found that the restroom on the first floor of the mall is no different from the public restroom. Passers-by who are not shopping in the mall may come in and enjoy this limited squatting position with you. Now, those newly-built shopping malls will try to avoid building toilets on the first floor, which will at least encourage consumers to shop more; Old shopping malls are also trying to change the role of public toilets.

Cosmetic counters are distributed in conspicuous places at the entrance.

Unlike shopping malls, when you go shopping in department stores, you always see cosmetics first. Usually, people who buy cosmetics in shopping malls are not as many as those who buy clothes. It is easy to increase the chances of buying cosmetics by setting cosmetics counters in places where people flow heavily and enter shopping malls.

The escalator is arranged on the back away from the gate.

Many newly-built shopping malls don't see escalators at the entrance. It is at a distance from the entrance, with its back to the gate. If you want to go to the second floor, you will pass the shops from the main entrance to the escalator, which increases your chances of spending money in these shops.

Sports brands are generally placed underground or on high floors.

Emerging shopping centers usually rent the shops on the first and second floors to internationally renowned brands to reflect the overall image of shopping centers. The third floor is an influential local brand in China. But Nike, Adidas and Puma, which are also international brands, will not appear on the first floor, but will be arranged on a higher floor or underground. The reason is that the style of sportswear has not changed much, no matter where it is placed, there are relatively fixed consumer groups.

The restaurant and cinema are located upstairs.

How to drive the flow of people in shopping malls to the top is a problem that developers will consider in the early stage of shopping mall design. Usually, they put things that are easy to gather people, such as restaurants, cinemas and game halls, on high floors to digest the area of high floors and bring people to high floors. The investment of these projects is generally completed in the early stage of shopping mall construction, because restaurants, cinemas and so on. There are special requirements for hardware facilities such as smoke exhaust and storey height. If it is adjusted later, it will cause a huge waste of construction costs.

Requirements for setting fire exits in shopping malls

Generally speaking, there should be 2~3 entrances and exits on a single floor. Fire exits should also be set up to keep them unblocked, and a certain number of fire fighting equipment should be added. Fire hydrant, smoke alarm, fire extinguisher, etc. ) The number of safety exits in shopping malls should not be less than 2, and the safety exits or evacuation exits in shopping malls should be distributed, and the horizontal distance between the nearest edges of two adjacent safety exits or evacuation exits should not be less than 5m. The maximum straight-line distance from the farthest point to the nearest exit should not exceed 30m.
