Lobby
What is a "lobby"?
A lobby is the entrance area or waiting space inside a building, usually near the front doors. It often serves as a transitional space between the outside and the rest of the building. Lobbies are commonly found in places like hotels, offices, and apartment buildings. They can be furnished with chairs, tables, and sometimes decorative features like plants or artwork. This area is used for receiving visitors, waiting, or accessing other rooms in the building, such as elevators or staircases.
