    Abstract
    The spaces inside a commercial apartment need to be arranged to achieve an effective distinctive area that will distinguish visitors from public and private spaces. It needs to accommodate multiple guests and travelers in private rooms while offering public facilities and common spaces. This paper aims to examine the configuration of public and private spaces and the permeability level in HACHI Serviced Apartment, Thailand. The degree of permeability and wayfinding is indicated by using the justified graph method with numbering systems. The result shows that the building's overall spaces are private in terms of configurations, and the level of wayfinding is also easy, which helps to provide simple navigation to the building users. The circulation and the spaces organizations of HACHI Serviced Apartment give a satisfactory degree of accessibility to the users, contributing to a deeper perception of public space and configurations of private space.
