Abstract This study analyzes the distribution and lower-floor characteristics of factory-adaptive reuse buildings in the Seongsu-dong semi-industrial area, focusing on changes in use. A total of 50 Factory-Adaptive reuse buildings were selected to identify their distribution patterns, use changes, and types. The lower-floor elements of 48 buildings with commercial uses were examined to understand how these uses influence entrance and outdoor spaces. The research found that factory-adaptive reuse buildings were distributed along Yeonmujang-gil, linear pattern, with relatively low density. These buildings maintained factory use while integrating commercial functions, with distinct differences in entrance and outdoor spaces. In buildings that still serve factory functions, separate entrances for commercial and factory uses were aligned with their respective functions, while outdoor spaces mainly supported factory operations. In fully commercialized buildings, entrances were positioned to connect outdoor spaces with the building, enhancing visitor flow and actively utilizing outdoor areas for commercial purposes. In these cases, the street functions extended into outdoor spaces, reflecting a successful adaptation of the factory's architectural features.
