AbstractThis research aimed to determine the design of residential condominiums to promote a good quality of life. The researchers studied factors that contribute to a good quality of life for residential condominium residents by analyzing perspectives from seven building management experts and eight customers who purchased and lived in residential condominium projects, a total of 15 participants. Then, in-depth interviews and content analysis were conducted. It was found that most customers made purchase decisions based on location and accessibility, followed by affordability, with the interior space of the condominium unit playing a significant role. Regarding quality of life, both residents and building management experts emphasized the importance of corporate governance and resident participation in the project. Other considerations included common area spaces and amenities in the project. These factors were identified as key elements in designing residential condominiums to promote a good quality of life in four dimensions: 1) location factors, 2) interior design factors, 3) common area design and amenities factors, and 4) service and residential factors. These design considerations serve as guidance for developers in creating suitable residential condominium projects to enhance the quality of life for customers and to establish sustainable long-term residency experiences.Paper ID: 15A3F
