Abstract

This study focuses on the spatial arrangements and Dual Occupancy of Colonial Joseon Special Bank branches established during the 1920s and 1930s. It also examines the layouts of the Busan branches of Joseon Bank and Joseon Siksan Bank, both of which were engaged in commercial banking. These banks integrated working spaces and ancillary areas, placing vaults within the working zones. The working areas included an office and a rear-positioned vault, allowing abundant front light, that created a positive ambiance for bank staff. Customer lounges were shaped like 'ㅡ' for spaces under 100 pyeong and 'ㄴ' for larger areas, each featuring two entrances. Regarding the Busan branches, the Joseon Bank Busan branch constructed three buildings on a narrow plot, while the Joseon Siksan Bank Busan branch was built on a slope. The working spaces were situated on the ground level, with auxiliary rooms in the basement. The customer lounge featured a single entrance. These Busan branches were established later than the commercial banks in Busan, leading to a competitive environment between special banks and commercial banks near Bonjeong (本町). Notably, the spatial layouts of the Busan special bank branch differed from the ones established during the colonial Joseon era.
