Therefore, this research aimed to identify the issues with implementing well-designed space for private workspaces in Surabaya City. The case study for this project is portfolios were designed by students Regina, Aileen and Leony from the Interior Design Department – Petra Christian University. The research method was qualitative research. The method used to collect primary data was direct observation, interviews, and literature studies.
