The phenomenon for the design of the geriatric association house associated with statistical data on the growth of elderly people in Indonesia, to be precise in the city of Jakarta. The number reaches 9.2% of the total population and exceeds the national average of only 7%. Then, the lack of social space needs facilities to improve the quality of life of the elderly at the end of their lives. Facilities supporting these needs must be able to accommodate and pay attention to the standard needs and special needs of the activities of the elderly. The method used is the process of applying an object approach designed with a literature study and precedent study approach. The design of the social facility "Geriatric Club House" uses an appropriate therapeutic architectural approach. The Geriatric Club House is a gathering place for people who have stable health conditions but need help with their daily activities and to improve their quality of life at the end of their lives. The concept of therapeutic architecture, especially elements of architectural therapy, is used in the design of this facility. This approach focuses on the design elements of the therapeutic architecture. Spatial planning is designed by taking into account safety standards for the elderly.  The building facade is designed using natural lighting and ventilation systems, thus creating a comfortable and healthy atmosphere. The use of coarse-fine materials is also considered in the design to provide beneficial sensory stimuli for the elderly. In addition, the garden is also presented as a medium for recovery and therapy. The application of a therapeutic architectural approach in this design can be felt by users, both the elderly and other visitors. This creates an empathetic architecture towards geriatricians, taking into account their needs and comforts.
