High-Street Style Explanation: What you are describing sounds like a typical shoppnig high-street type of shop. Using "style" rather than " type" means this can also be applied to the form of the shop (which sounds like the important part). If "type" is used then it sounds more like "the type of shop (in terms of good etcs.) found on a high street," making it a little ambigious. As one of the other choices is "Freestanding," if there are always other shops around the type in question "Terrace Type," as in part of a terrace of shops along a street, might work too. Well, just some ideas for you. |

within/inside of a building Explanation: According to the website below, this means "building in type" which means "inside of a building". For example, in Japan, there are many convenience stores that are free standing independent buildings and then there are many that are on the ground floor of big department stores or business buildings. In the following website they use "roadside" as the opposite meaning. There is no exact English equivalent, so we need to just explain it in simple terms. So, for example, you could say, "a smaller store within/inside of a big store". Good luck! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 10 hrs (2008-03-24 00:40:41 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Also, I would omit "type" as it is not necessary and would be awkward to translate it here.

Built-in (built-ins) / built-in type Explanation: The best example sentence that I found over the net was the sentence below. (It explains that "built-ins" are commercial space leased for various types of businesses. ) **Most often ‘built-ins' are purchased or leased by grocery stores, drug-stores, hair dresser's and beauty studios. Premises on ground floors are also popular with cafe owners. The above sentence came from this website: http://eng.arendator.ru/articles.php?type=1&id=96 Almost all construction projects of residential compounds started in 2004 have included the so-called ‘built-ins', or non-residential areas designated for commercial use. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 15 hrs (2008-03-24 04:59:24 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "Built-in" implies that the space is built right in--it cannot be ripped out. The free-standing type, for example, can be dismantled and taken away by the store owner if business goes bad, or if he wants to move his retail space. Example sentence(s):

Street Level Explanation: アメリカでつかわれる英語でしたら、このようなタイプのセットアップは "street level" といいます。この場合、ビルがfreestandingであるかは関係なく、「道に向かって面している」というクライテリアになります。 ショッピングセンターなどの地図にもよく使われます。http://www.unionstationdc.com/shopping.asp Example sentence(s):
