4. SYNOPSIS OF PROJECT
During The Tenure Of My Study Of One Year Commercial Design Diploma,
I Learnt About Different Commercial Spaces Like Retail, Anthropometric
And Other Spaces.
The Design Of Commercial Interiors Included Important Issues –
Sustainable Design, Security And Safety, Licensing, Ethics In The
Profession, And Professional Growth.
Commercial Design Is The Design Of Any Facility That Serves Business
Purposes.
While Studying Anthropometric And Ergonomics, I Learnt About The
Standard Human Body Dimension. I Have Considered All These Points In
The Anthropometrics And Ergonomics Space That Was Assigned To Me.

6. INTRODUCTION ABOUT ANTHROPOMRTEY
Interior Design Is All About Space And People. To Make A Building
Architecturally Successful, The Link Between Space And Inhabitants Of
That Space Is Very Important . No Space Can Be Designed Without The
Information Of Human Dimensions. The Link Has To Be Established In May
Ways – Physical, Psychological, Emotional And Much More. This Scientific
Study Of Human Dimension Relating To Individuals And Group Is Called
“Anthropometry” And The Application Of Anthropometric Data May Look
Very Direct And Simple.
The Simple Methodology For Anthropometrics Study Related To
Architecture And Interior Design

7. RETAIL
DESIGN

8. RETAIL SPACES
In An Interior Environment Such As Retail Space, Where Customer
Convince And Comfort Are A Matter Of Corporate Policy, The
Responsiveness Of The Design To Human Dimension And Body Sixe Is
Extremely Critical. The Interface Between The User And The Various
Types Of Sales Counter And Shelf Displays.
Proper Visibility Of Displays Both From Within And From Without Is Also
Crucial To The Successful Design Of A Retail Space. In This Regard, The Eye
Height Of The Small And Larger Viewer And The Geometric Implication Of
Human Vision Must Be Accommodated.
The Anthropometric Measurements Of Significant Importance Are
Indicated In The Above Matrix.

14. RECEPTION SPACES
The Drawings On The Following Pages Examine The Relationship Of
Human Dimension To The Design Of Reception Spaces. The Three Key
Areas Of Concern Include Visitor Seating, The Reception Desk, And The
Location Of Graphics Or Corporate Identification. Of Particular
Importance Is The Design To The Reception Desk In Terms Of Its
Responsiveness To The Anthropometric Requirements To Be Seated
Receptionist And The Standing Visitor Within The Context Of A High
Counter – Type Arrangement And A Conventional Desk Arrangement.
The Depth Of The Work Surface Should Accommodate The Thumb Tip
Reach Measurements Of The User Of Smaller Body Size So That Package
And Correspondence Can Be Exchanged.
The Key Anthropometric Measurements Are Indicate In The Above
Matrix.

15. RECEPTION SPACE

19. CONFERENCE ROOMS
The General Approach In Establishing Conference Table Sizes Is Much The
Same As That Used For Dinning Tables. Instead Of The Place Setting With
Dinning Tables, A Work Zone To Accommodate Documents, Papers , And
Other Reference Materials Should Be Taken Into Consideration. The
Amount Of Material To Be Accommodated, However, Mat Vary Greatly
Depending On The Nature Of The Organization Involved And The Type Of
Meeting. The Amount Of Perimeter Space Allocated To Each Individual
Should At The Very Least Be Adequate To Accommodate The Maximum
Body, And Provide For Documents And Other Material.
Clearances Around The Table For Circulation Should Accommodate The
Maximum Body Breadth Of The User Of Larger Body Size And Allows For
The Space Taken Up The Chair Itself.

23. FOOD STORIES
When Considering The Implication Of Human Dimension In Relation To
The Design Of Self Service Food Stores, The Shopping Cart Should Be
Viewed As An Extension Of The Human Figure And The Combined
Measurements As A Unit To Be Accommodated For Purpose Of
Establishing Necessary Clearances. This Is More Critical In Terms Of
Overall Length Than Width Considerations, Since The Maximum Body
Size, Is Also Sufficient To Accommodated The Width To The Cart Itself.
The Anthropometric Measurements Of Major Consideration Are
Indicated In The Above Matrix.

26. HAIR STYLING
One Of The Most Important Considerations In Making Hair Styling Spaces
Responsive To Human Dimension Is That Of Adjustability. Given The
Tremendous Variability In Body Size, Both In Terms Of The Customer And
The Stylist And The Nature Of The Body Size, Both In Terms Of The
Customer And The Stylist And The Nature Of The Activity Involved, It Is
Virtually Impossible To Accommodate The Majority Of People Without
Some Degree Of Adjustability To Compensate For The Great Variability In
Body Size. The Range Of Adjustment Possible In Most Standard Chairs On
The Market Is Not Great Enough.
Within The Limitations Imposed By Existing Equipment, The Drawings On
The Following Pages Illustrate Some Of The Typical Situations
Encountered In The Design Of Hair Styling Spaces.
The Anthropometric Measurements Of Major Concern Are Indicate In The
Above Matrix.

30. INTRODUCTION ABOUT RESTAURANT
Eating Has Always Been A Sociable Event And Restaurant Serves This
Purpose Very Well. Restaurant Is A Business Of Preparing & Serving Food
In Exchange Of Money. Restaurants Have Always Played An Essential Role
In The Business, Social And Intellectual Life Of Today’s Society. It Provides
A Perfect Location For All Celebrations Or Social Gatherings.
Restaurants Can Be Of Self Service, Road-side Dhaba, A-la-carte And The
Third Places Like The Coffee Shops, Juice Centers, Ice-cream Parlors And
Many More.
These Different Types Of Restaurants May Vary With Their Working But
Their Purpose Is Same I.E., Serving People So That They Can Take Out
Time From Their Hectic Lives & Spend A Quality Time.
People Enjoy Sitting Down In A Nice Comfortable And Pleasant
Surrounding Of A Restaurant And Dinning On Good Quality Food, Leaving
Behind The Hustle And Bustle Of Daily Life.
Restaurants Have Always Been A Place Where People Spend Leisure Time
& Money. As Living Has Gotten More Hectic, With So Much Of Interest
And Money Riding On Food, It Is Extremely Important For A Restaurant To
Develop New Trends That Positively Impact Customers.

32. BARS
The Drawings On The Following Pages Illustrate In Plan And Section The
Considerations That Should Make The Design Of Bars More Sensitive To
Human Body Size. Clearances And Other Dimensional Data For Use In
Making Preliminary Design Assumptions Are Also Indicate.
The Grater The Seating Density And The Closure The Seats The Greater
The Degree Of Social Conservative.
The Amount Of Perimeter Space Allocated To Each Individual Should At
The Very Least Be Adequate To Accommodate The Maximum Body, And
Provide For Documents And Other Material.
Clearances Around The Table For Circulation Should Accommodate The
Maximum Body Breadth Of The User Of Larger Body Size And Allows For
The Space Taken Up The Chair Itself.
The Depth Of The Work Surface Should Accommodate The Thumb Tip
Reach Measurements Of The User Of Smaller Body Size So That Package
And Correspondence Can Be Exchanged.
The Anthropometric Measurements Of Major Concern Are Indicate In The
Above Matrix.

33. BARS

37. FOOD COUNTERS
The Basic Approach To Ensuring A Proper Interface Between Customer
And Food Counter Is Similar To That Used For A Bar. Maximum Body
Breadth And Depth Should Be Taken Into Account In Establishing
Clearances For Workspace Behind The Counter. The Height Of The Selves
And Depth Of The Counters Should Accommodate The Human Reach
Limitations Of Those Of Smaller Body Size, For Such Clearances Will Also
Accommodate Those Of Larger Body Size.
Clearances Around The Table For Circulation Should Accommodate The
Maximum Body Breadth Of The User Of Larger Body Size And Allows For
The Space Taken Up The Chair Itself.
The Anthropometric Measurements Of Major Concern Are Indicate In The
Above Matrix.

38. FOOD COUNTERS

42. DINING SPACES
The Proper Clearances For Circulation And Services Aisles, Adequate Knee
And Thigh Space Between The Top Of The Seats And The Underside Of
The Tables, Accessibility For The Wheelchair Bound Person, And
Adequate Clearances Around The Perimeter Of The Table Are The Basic
Factors To Take Into Account To Ensure The Proper Relationship Between
Human Dimension And Dining Space. Theses Considerations, All Fairly
Straightforward, Can Be Accommodate Fairly Simply. The Proper
Allowance Per Individual Seated Dinner Along The Table Perimeter And By
Extension The Table Sixe Do Require Additional Thought And In Some
Instances Individual Research.
The Anthropometric Measurements Of Major Concern Are Indicate In The
Above Matrix.
