Abstract

Jakarta is the center of government, economy, and socio-cultural activities. As Indonesia's largest metropolitan city, Jakarta attracts a steady influx of people from various regions seeking employment, education, and access to comprehensive city facilities. Population growth in East Jakarta is driving a high demand for vertical housing. However, most existing apartments still do not fully address the needs of people with disabilities, resulting in limitations in mobility, accessibility, and comfort. The application of the healing environment principle is realized through optimizing natural lighting, healthy air circulation, selecting environmentally friendly materials, and integrating green open spaces. In terms of accessibility, the design includes barrier-free circulation paths, ramps with standard slopes, elevators that accommodate wheelchair users, and residential units with flexible layouts.
