Abstract:
The rapid economic growth in Makassar City has led to an increased demand for
land. As a result, land availability has become limited and land prices have risen.
This situation has increased the need for multifunctional housing that combines
living and working spaces in one building. The focus of this study is the interior
design of a multifunctional house that connects a notary office with a private
residence on a limited plot of land. This study employs a qualitative approach using
observation, interviews, and documentation methods. To create a professional yet
comfortable atmosphere, the design adopts a American modern style emphasizing
functionality, aesthetics, and ergonomics. Findings indicate that clear zoning of
spaces, efficient circulation, natural lighting, and ergonomic furniture enable
residential and office functions to operate harmoniously without interfering with
one another. This study contributes to the design of multifunctional homes in urban
areas, particularly for employees who require both private living space and
workspace within a single building.
