Physical privacy comprises separator or divider; height adjustment for building elements; build layers of rooms as transitional space; clear division of zoning; selected wall material; and distinction entrance. In comparison, non-physical privacy involves spatial agreement and gender spatial that requires agreement space between men and women. This study is expectedly fruitful for the development of Islamic-based concept residence in the Indonesian real estate realm.
