Abstract
House design will conform to its geographical location, climate, and infrastructure of the users’ living environment. Land price inflation push people who live in urban city to choose tiny house even though it’s in the slums area. Tiny houses are commonly found with bad airflow circulation, because it has only one face to install windows and doors for fresh air access. This condition might cause several issues to the users’ well-being especially in their respiratory system. Do the people in Gang Entim Karasak village Astana Anyar district Bandung city have any chance to improve their well-being only by increasing their house airflow? Is it possible to live healthier in the slums area? What strategies can be used by interior designer to achieve it? To determine comfort standards in tiny houses, measurements of spatial dimensions and air humidity levels can be used. Identification of zoning, blocking, and proximity of space are related to the effects of airflow circulation in tiny houses. This research will take a small part to find out relation between comfort condition in tiny house and airflow circulation in the interior design as well as its effects in human well-being.
