Application of Green Architecture Principles in Condotel Design in Medan City

This study aims to design a vertical residential building in the form of a condotel with a green architecture approach in the city of Medan. Medan, as the center of economic and administrative activities in North Sumatra, has experienced high population growth, resulting in land constraints. Thus, the concept of environmentally friendly vertical housing is a solution to meet housing needs while maintaining environmental balance. The research methods include literature studies and field surveys focused on site analysis, building analysis, and the application of green architecture principles. The design results show that the condotel building is designed to have two main functions, namely as a hotel and condominium, by applying six principles of green architecture: respect for the site, respect for users, working with the climate, energy conservation, minimizing new resources, and a holistic approach. The condotel building is expected to become a model of sustainable development in the urban area of Medan. Keywords: Green Architecture, Condotel, Vertical Housing, Medan City
