Although the bedroom and study room have different needs for facilities and activities, with the
right layout it all can be arranged in one room. Students prefer to do the online learning process in
their bedrooms because the bedroom is the most private room in the residence so that being in there
can reduce distractions from external factors. Thus, good acquiescence with the student’s private
bedroom is very important to support the two different room functions.
The minimum dimensions for a bedroom are 5.1 m 2 , while for a study room it is 3.3 m 2 . Therefore,
from the table above (Figure 7) we can conclude that the ideal room for resting and online learning
has a minimum area of 8.4 m 2 , with the main facilities needed being one single bed, one wardrobe,
one desk for working on college assignments, one laptop table for online lectures, study chairs,
and two pieces of furniture for storage.
The spaces must also arrange to meet the different activities that must be facilitated inside it.
For the bedroom, the activities are sleep, rest, changing of clothes, and getting ready. As for the
learning space, the activities therein are online learning, doing assignments, and reading books. For
these activity (activities), human space must be available in the form of a comfortable circulation
space, and then a circulation space of at least 30% of the estimated space is needed.
In addition, there are also other factors that are needed and desired by students to support online
learning such as facilities and tools that can accommodate learning activities, e.g., laptops, lamps,
stationery, and bookshelves. Placement of sockets and a stable internet network are also things
to consider. The comfort factor in the study room must also be considered because students will
conduct online learning on average 2–4 hours each day. From the Figure 9 diagram below, it can
be concluded that the things that must be considered to construct student comfort when doing
online learning are room acoustics, space atmosphere, stable network, lighting, and pleasant air
circulation.

To ensure the privacy of each space in the bedroom, a clear separation of sleep or rest zones
and study zones must be carried out. It is also useful for increasing student concentration while
studying. Furniture layout is arranged so that when conducting lectures online these zones will not
intersect one another. Adjusting the visibility of the laptop camera with the surrounding room, as
well as setting a domain or apparent room divider between the bedroom zone and the study room
zone must also be applied to the design of the online study room.
Layout of the facility settings are adjusted to each domain so that the effectiveness of the activity
flow in each space is created. The size of the furniture is also adjusted to the effectiveness and
comfort for the capacity of one student. The window placement is beside the study room to maximize
the light and natural air to create pleasant space for study.
