FLOOR PLAN OF JEM BASEMENT 1

We can conclude that Basement 1 is definitely not a place to shop for clothes. This floor is mainly made up of restaurants and food outlets, which will definitely provide the food lovers a place to find their favourite food as there are a variety of different food outlets, leaving the shoppers open to a lot of choices to indulge in a world of food heaven. 

FLOOR PLAN
This floor is pretty much well planned-out. I am really surprised by the fact that many stores are able to fit into this basement. I would say that this floor is pretty much crammed up compared to other floors. It is great that they are many shops to full fill our necessity in just one floor but they lay out could easily confuse the customers as they are either clustered in a way of the units are split into half . The pathway for the people to walk on is really narrow which can be very troublesome during the rush hour. I feel really suffocated visiting the basement as everything is allocated very closely to each other. We can also say that the layout of shops are also different from level one and level two, which shows that JEM's infrastructures and layouts of shops has been thought through specially by the architects and the designers as the layouts for the three levels are different. This architecture is rather unique as the levels layout for most shopping centres in Singapore is all similar for different levels, which effectively shows JEM's uniqueness in trying to portray the idea of ingenuity. Basement One has quite a number of food stalls which are clustered together shows that the use of space is cleverly planned in the shopping mall to put different varieties of food stalls as much as possible in the small area of space provided.

FACILITIES
I would say that the facilities are alright but it is definitely not very good. It has two lifts,one escalator and one travelator, which effectively makes it more convenient for the elderly and the disabled as travelling is made easy and more accessible with these features around in the shopping mall. In basement one, there is also has toilet, which makes it very convenient for people as compared to Level one where there are no toilets at all which makes it very inconvenient for people to use. The facilities on this floor are very elder and disabled friendly as it has lifts and travelator which is very suitable for them. There are also seating areas in Basement one which provides the shoppers a place to rest before continuing. There are also several ATM counters placed near the few banks which maximizes the accessibility level as many people would very much prefer to draw money from the machine itself rather than bringing huge stacks of money around.

SURROUNDINGS 
The ambiance of Basement one is not as good as Level one as Basement One do not have too much of greenery planted to enhance the appearance of the Level, as compared to Level One and Two, which effectively made use of the different types of plants to make the surroundings more welcoming to the shoppers as greenery makes the space more relaxed and more inviting.
