| | Give Circulation Spaces Equal Importance | |
|
Problem / Situation
All too often, circulation spaces such as hallways and stairs are carved out of leftover spaces, and no particular attention is paid to making them anything more than a way to get from point A to point B. People's experience of a building will be greatly enhanced if circulation spaces are given equal importance to other spaces.
Solution
Encourage people to linger and enjoy these circulation spaces.
One way to accomplish this is to give circulation spaces additional uses. Include seating, display of artwork, or views to the world beyond.

Examples
 | | Window seat connected to circuation space |  |
Here, a window seat has been made part of a circulation space, making the stairway and hall more than just a space to pass through. |
