• Location: To adapt to local conditions, sites
must be studied concerning nature, the
environment, and community structures, as well
as human activity. The design incorporates local
materials and is constructed by local craftsmen.
3.2.7 New Normal Protocol
Based on the Decree of the Minister of Health of the
Republic of Indonesia, the New Normal Protocol that
must be adhered to in the work environment
(Keputusan Menteri Kesehatan Republik Indonesia,
2021) is as follows:
• Measurement of body temperature using a
thermo-gun as an initial preventive screening
stage.
• Availability of a place to wash hands or hand
sanitizer.
• Setting the distance between visitors to a
minimum of 1 meter for each activity. Avoid
crowds at a central point
• Mandatory use of masks
Several other resources also have created their social
distancing guide. According to Neufert (Figure 4),
social distancing distance is about 1.5 m - 2 m.

This standard will later be used in the design as a
preventive measure to tackle the spread of COVID-
19.
3.2.8 Naturalism
The natural concept in design is one element that can
contribute to a sense of peace and relaxation
(Anggraeni & Rahmanea, 2019). The use of natural
or imitation materials with the texture of elements
such as water, air, soil, vegetation, and rocks can
enhance the concept of nature in design. Additionally,
plants can help strengthen the concept of nature by
providing transitional elements. Vegetation creates an
inviting and welcoming transformation, adding the
space to a natural and intimate feel. The use of
vegetation can be in the form of plants in pots and
vertical gardens. (Pratiwi &Wahyudie, 2017)
3.3 Programming and Analysis
Based on the findings of the Empathize process, the
data gathered is then evaluated and brought into the
next stage, The Define Process. The Define Process
was done through the use of an Empathy Map (Figure
5). An empathy map is a tool that was used to achieve
a deeper understanding of the users. The empathy
map is used to determine 4 major points to discuss:
what the user thinks, says, feels, and does. It will help
to determine what the user needs and wants in a public
space, notably in cafés.
The Empathy map shows that users say that they
need a place to hang out safely. They need a space
that accommodates long hangouts with adequate
safety and cleanliness of the area. The users were also
afraid of the Covid-19 pandemic and the rapid
changes that happened, they wish to be able to do
their activities normally.
They also stated that they were tired of staying in
their house all the time. Staying inside their home
feels stuffy and tiring because their rest space also
becomes their workspace. This creates blurry lines
between work and rest, resulting in inadequate rest or
even inefficient work performance.
They also feel anxious and bored locked down in
their houses. The higher the restrictions created for
lockdown regulation, the greater decline of social
gatherings, and the greater perceived changes in life
were associated with higher mental health
deterioration. Moreover, a subjectively hypothesized
stay-at-home order was correlated with impaired
mental health. Some of the users also express their
concern about sustainability in their daily life and ask
the possible way to change.
Through this method, the data gathered then
analyzed further and then concluded that the major
problem is the need for public space that can
accommodate the New Normal while also addressing
the need for sustainable design. The public space is
also expected to be a resting space for people. To
accommodate these problems, the café needs the
following facilities with the following criteria:
• Dining Area
This area is designed for visitors to enjoy and eat
casually. The chairs are arranged to be attached to the
conveyor belt that is used to deliver food. The
environment created must be calm, safe, and easy to
clean. The dining area also must cater to the social
distancing requirements
