DESIGNING CO-LIVING SPACES: OPTIMISING SPACE FUNCTION FOR THE COLLECTIVE NEEDS OF FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES Firdaus, Mochamad Fadly The rapid growth of co-living as a contemporary housing concept in urban areas has created an urgent need for interior design strategies that can accommodate the diverse lifestyles, activities, and backgrounds of its residents. This study focuses on optimizing the design of shared spaces in community-based co- living environments, with the primary objective of enhancing comfort, social interaction, and spatial flexibility. The research adopts the Design-Based Research (DBR) method, which integrates five stages: contextual problem analysis, formulation of initial design solutions, implementation and exploration through semi-structured interviews and participatory observation, reflection and refinement of design iterations, and final evaluation based on comfort, functionality, and social usability indicators. The findings reveal that major design challenges include the absence of clear spatial zoning, limited natural lighting, suboptimal ventilation, and the inflexible use of fixed, non- modular furniture. These issues were addressed through the application of ergonomic principles, the integration of balanced natural and artificial lighting strategies, and the introduction of flexible, modular furniture to support dynamic spatial arrangements. Furthermore, the adoption of the Japandi style— combining minimalist Japanese aesthetics with the warmth and functionality of Scandinavian design—proved effective in creating spaces that are visually calming, practical, and conducive to both productivity and communal interaction.In conclusion, this research demonstrates that DBR provides a robust framework for generating contextual, adaptive, and applicable interior design solutions for co-living environments. The proposed design not only achieves aesthetic value but also strengthens the role of shared spaces as collective hubs that promote community engagement, personal comfort, and modern communal living.

INTERIOR DESIGN OF SPA USING ADAPTIVE REUSE APPROACH CASE STUDY: GLORY BALI MASSAGE, KUTA, BALI Kumendong, Claudia Gisela Old buildings often have the potential to be repurposed, giving them new value without the need for full demolition. This study aims to transform a former restaurant into a SPA facility using an adaptive reuse approach, focusing on spatial efficiency, user comfort, and preservation of local identity. The research applied a qualitative method, including observation, documentation of existing conditions, user needs analysis, and interviews with the client. The design concept chosen is Balinese Tropical Contemporary, combining traditional Balinese values with modern aesthetics. The design process involved space analysis, relationship matrix, bubble diagram, and block plan to ensure functional and aesthetic flow. The result of this design is a clear vertical zoning: the first floor for public areas (receptionist, waiting area, manicure/pedicure), the second floor for treatment areas (sauna, soaking room, treatment room), and the third floor for private areas (VIP room, laundry, staff facilities). The use of natural materials, soft lighting, and Balinese decorative elements creates a warm and relaxing atmosphere that enhances the overall SPA experience.

RE-DESIGN OF PRESIDENT UNIVERSITY CANTEEN WITH A TARAWANG BATIK MOTIF TYPICAL OF BEKASI IN THE FORM OF MURAL ART, EQUIPPED WITH ERGONOMIC FURNITURE AND QUALITY STANDARDS Ritonga, Fahrurrozi This study explores the redesign of the President University Canteen by showcasing the rich local culture of Bekasi through the use of Tarawang batik motifs in the form of mural art. The aim of this effort is to create a unique visual identity and a more beautiful and comfortable atmosphere that reflects local wisdom. In addition, the redesign also emphasizes the use of ergonomic furniture that meets quality standards, thereby improving the comfort, safety, and efficiency of user activities. The approach applied in this study includes literature review, direct observation, user needs analysis, and the application of interior design concepts rooted in local culture and ergonomic principles. The results of the design show that the integration of Tarawang batik motifs in the murals not only adds aesthetic value but also serves as a means of cultural education for students and guests. In addition, the use of ergonomic furniture that meets good quality standards can create a healthy, functional cafeteria environment that supports social interaction. Thus, this design change is expected to be a solution in interior design that balances traditional values, modern functions, and user comfort. With a modern industrial concept, it brings a new look to the cafeteria with aesthetic values and uniqueness in every space and area.

BELITUNG IMPROVING LIBRARY COMFORT THROUGH SPACE OPTIMIZATION: LIBRARY POLITEKNIK MANUFAKTUR NEGERI BANGKA BELITUNG Pujadiyanti, Hanifah This study aims to redesign the layout of the Bangka Belitung State Polytechnic of Manufacturing (POLMANBABEL) library to improve user comfort and productivity. The main issues raised are the limited library space of only 144 m2 out of a total building area of 675 m2, and the suboptimal layout and interior design in supporting learning and discussion activities. This study uses a qualitative method with a field study approach and visual document analysis. The results of the analysis show that the comfort of a space is greatly influenced by circulation, furniture layout, and the visual identity of the space. Therefore, the redesign was carried out using a Modern Coastal style approach that combines elements of the local culture of Bangka Belitung and modern design principles. This design includes clear zoning of the space, the use of ergonomic materials, and aesthetic elements that support a conducive learning atmosphere. This research is expected to serve as a reference in the development of library designs that are not only functional but also represent local identity and enhance the user experience.
