Mixed-use architecture brings different activities together within a building or development. The design challenge is to create useful connections while managing the boundaries between uses with different schedules, access needs and levels of privacy.
Trace entrances, vertical circulation, deliveries and shared services as well as the main public route. Examine how the ground floor meets the street and whether outdoor or communal spaces can support the range of users shown in the brief.
