Fundamentally, there isn't a single answer to this problem. The answer we have developed in Edinburgh is to place a node on the building where the entrance is, this is largely because a single building will Costa n many door as well as shops etc. Shops are added as nodes set back I not the building. The idea is that there is usually a single point you would expect to be routed to when going to an address.
