Fatimatuz Zahroh, Yusvika Ratri Harmunisa

Abstract


Currently, more people are beginning to choose commercial spaces such as cafes that not only prioritize aesthetic value but also support mental health and comfort. In this context, the principles of biophilic architecture, which integrate natural elements into buildings, become a relevant approach when applied to commercial buildings. As an example, the buildings that will be used for this research are the commercial buildings NKastil Cafe and NK Café Malang. This research is conducted with the aim of identifying the principles of biophilic architecture applied in the commercial buildings NKastil Cafe and NK Café Malang. Both cafes were chosen as research subjects because they demonstrate excellence in the implementation of biophilic architecture principles when evaluated based on the 14 principles of biophilic architecture. The research method used is a qualitative descriptive method with a literature study to conduct an observational review of biophilic architecture, as well as direct observation to collect data on the research object. The results indicate that NKastil Cafe and NK Cafe have implemented several of the 14 biophilic design principles based on the 14 principles of biophilic architecture, with varying levels of application, featuring a more dominant use of natural elements in NK Cafe, and a space experience more dominant in NKastil Cafe. This study is expected to serve as a reference and source of knowledge regarding the application of biophilic architecture principles in building design.
