The phenomenon of increasing HIV AIDS cases has spread all over the world, especially in Indonesia. This case has risen dramatically in Bandung throughout the year. It involves various levels of age, occupation, and gender, this case is inseparable from the lack of knowledge about the spread and awareness of a disease. The impact experienced by sufferers involves all aspects, including physical, psychological, social, spiritual, financial, and educational. From these problems, this project was established to serve two main functions including palliative care and empowerment programs for realizing holistic health and independence for PLWHA in the future. The project was designed to develop a hospital that is considered advanced in handling HIV/AIDS, known as Hasan Sadikin Hospital. The project occupies land close to the main hospital, in Pasteur, Sukajadi, Bandung with an area of 8,982 sqm. This location is considered strategic from an accessibility aspect as well as environmental comfort and safety. The design issues raised include aspects that affect the quality of life of its users, such as negative perceptions of hospitals, holistic recovery environments, educational environments and environmental context issues which are dominated by the jengki architectural style. In response to this issue, the main concept of the project focuses on jengki architecture as a homelike expression to avoid institutional shape. This concept is supported by the criteria of a therapeutic environment, sacred space experience, and educative environment to support patient recovery and encourage its users to be productive. These two functions are connected through a harmonious spatial and dynamic spatial experience. Multiple mass compositions were designed to separate rooms based on outpatient zones, inpatient zones, transition zones, and empowerment zones. The four building masses are interconnected through open spaces and semi-enclosed corridors. Various open spaces create a high connection between patients with nature to create physical, psychological and social activities in them. Completion of the jengki architectural style is carried out by modifying the shape of the roof and choosing a facade that gives a friendly and encouraging impression to its users. The main concrete structure system is combined with a steel roof system to support the structural load down to the basement.
