Every workplace has the potential for dangers that can affect employee safety and health, making it difficult for employees to achieve wellbeing. This research aims to investigate problems in the physical work environment that influence employee wellbeing using a wellbeing architecture approach. Wellbeing is a sense of wellbeing that includes health, happiness and prosperity. Wellbeing architecture is used as an approach in designing buildings and spaces that focuses on creating an environment that supports the holistic well-being of its users. So it can minimize the occurrence of sick building syndrome. By focusing on the role of architecture in creating work spaces that support physical and mental balance while preventing employees from experiencing sick building syndrome, this research explores what employees feel when working and how the design of the physical environment can influence and contribute positively to employee well-being. The research method involves qualitative and quantitative analysis of the physical work environment and employee feelings, by combining data from employee surveys and questionnaires, workspace observations, and literature reviews related to wellbeing architecture. Based on the research results, symptoms of sick building syndrome and employees' dissatisfaction with their current work space were found. Apart from that, several factors were found that needed to be considered when designing the physical work environment, namely aspects of nature, movement, connection and air quality. It is hoped that the results of this research will provide in-depth insight into critical factors in the physical work environment that influence employee well-being.
