Jakarta is one of the big cities in Indonesia which is experiencing very significant population growth. One of the implications of this can be felt in the transportation sector, which continues to struggle with road infrastructure development, one of which is an elevated road to break down congestion. However, the flyover development plan only pays attention to mobility issues and puts aside problems related to the quality of urban space and the human side, which causes lost space. In fact, the potential utilization is very high because it can be used not only for passive activities but also for active activities. If we look at the current trend, we can use the lost space as a startup facility so that it can also contribute to the development of the digital economy. High external conditions such as motor vehicle pollution, road noise, lack of sun exposure, humidity, and poor air circulation are the main problems to be able to use the space under the flyover. The use of space under the flyover as a startup facility requires special attention to workplace comfort. This thesis is expected to be able to provide a new perspective on the use of urban space in a more holistic manner. By using qualitative research methodology based on literature, precedent, and design studies as well as quantitative based on field secondary data collection and simulations, it was found that the high utilization of space under the flyover was found. Dividing the workplace comfort design issue into two major issues, namely physical and psychological, opens perspectives to be able to resolve the environmental degradative impact. The design results show that paying attention to the surrounding context is the most important thing because it has a significant impact on the design of startup facilities. The required design strategy consists of; 1) acoustic comfort with peforated kinetic faade, noise diffraction reduction kansteen, and ceiling absorber, 2) respiratory comfort with vegetation waffle filtration and HEPA filter ventilation, 3) thermal comfort with chimney effect and sandwich wall thermal mass, 4) visual comfort with light well and levitation light shelves, 5) stress recovery with the application of vegetation, and 6) attention recovery with complementary supporting facilities. While the simulation results show the achievement of workplace comfort on physical issues such as noise, wind speed, pollution, temperature, and glare. This study is a pilot project and only serves as a basis so that further studies are still needed specifically with the hope that the design can be implemented in real terms.
