    Abstract
    This study uses the Giant Interactive Group headquarters as a case study to analyze and understand the spatial configuration in an integrated commercial and hospitality building typology. The spatial layout's effectiveness is obtained by identifying the level of permeability and wayfinding in the case study. The levels are categorized following the five levels of permeability in the Likert scale. The graph is then scrutinized and compiled to highlight the result and discussion. The hierarchical order of space is organized to show the percentage of permeability level present in The Giant Interactive Group headquarters. The study shows how the building achieved a balance in public and private spaces' spatial configuration. The unique spatial structure of the hotel, nature, and commercial office present in the Giant headquarters are blended masterfully into a delicate balance of user and spatial environment. The analysis has shown a different spatial planning method in architecture by using spatial reasoning and justified graphs.
