Data was collected through a primary data collections of various sources namely from existing layout plan from the developers, online sources and field measurements and were analyzed using Axial Map and Visual Graph Analysis (VGA) of DepthmapX Space Syntax Software. The scope of this research is specialized to shop offices building typology in Kuala Lumpur only. This study is expected to provide a comparative analysis of the various designs of shop offices and to suggest the best criteria and attributes of the shop office typology that can benefits authorities, developers, as well as future tenants in choosing the suitable shop office layout to, accommodates their various need.
