| description | Individuals spend more time in interiors, which affects their comfort, health, and well-being. It is known that coffee houses, which are increasing rapidly in line with various needs, are preferred for socializing and working in a new world. Creating a well-designed environment also positively impacts an individual’s social, psychological, and behavioral patterns. In this case, a salutogenic design creates interior environments promoting health and well-being. It is an evidence-based design strategy for improving human comfort, health, and well-being, including all environmental quality factors, such as natural and artificial lighting, color, acoustic, and thermal comfort. The lighting design can improve our performance, mood, focus, and overall well-being in an interior environment. A salutogenic design model, which is most prevalent in healthcare and workplace design and is supported by over three decades of research in the medical and design fields, provides an innovative design strategy to aid in comfort, health, and well-being. Based on this perspective, this study evaluates the health and well-being of the users in the selected coffee house with a salutogenic design approach by considering artificial lighting design. The differences between genders, age groups, and the adjectives measuring positive and negative subjective moods, and the correlation between the SOC-13 Scale and the Perceived Environmental Quality Index were analyzed. The “Results” section provides a thorough explanation of the test findings. While this study serve as an example of how individuals’ moods, feelings, health, and well-being can be linked to physical conditions in the space, it will also provide a better understanding of how a salutogenic design approach can be incorporated into coffee shops to improve user experience in various of aspects. |
