Shop Offices
 |
A shop office is basically
self-explanatory. It is a row of buildings in which separate shop
offices are linked together. It is different from office buildings or
shop houses. However it is the same
design as the shop house. The only
difference is a shop house is not used
fully while a shop office is used fully for commercial purposes.
In the early twentieth century, this style of building was common in
the cities closer to commercial districts and is often used for small
businesses where small amount of space needed. Usually the shop office
are used as a solicitor office, accounting firm, agency office and
etc. Some trading companies would also used ground floor as stores or
retail businesses and used the space in upper level as offices. |
In Klang Valley, Penang and
most of the places, some shop offices are designed as ground floor for
businesses where the upper floors are for office purposes.
