Abstract
‘Sewa Rumah Susun Sederhana’ (Flat Rent) is well known as low-cost housing, generally addressed to accommodate people with low income in Indonesia. This paper intends to express the process of the proposed green approach in designing Flat Rent in Rancacili, Bandung Indonesia. Concerning green building to achieve building sustainability, this is an issue of concern in the built environment and frequently very costly. The explanatory research method was chosen to examine the green theory applied in the green design method that consists of planning and programming, design concept decision, and design process so that many aspects of the design can meet cost reduction. Green architecture minimizes the harmful effects of construction projects on human health and the environment so that the design should be green approached. In addition, it aims to safeguard air, water, and earth by choosing eco-friendly building materials and construction practices besides nonmaterial and construction aspects. The results of this design process showed a design that considers many green concepts from A to Z of the process. The focus on applying the modular system in many design elements, particularly produce zero waste material can reduce the cost. It is expected to achieve an affordable price for middle to low-income people. © 2021 Taylor’s University. All rights reserved.
