Based on the healing environment research, the natural approach to health facilities impacts the condition of the patient positively.

As part of a health therapy facility, the application of biophilic design aimed to applyhospice care to getthe advantages of biophilic design. Therefore, it can improve patients’physical and mental health when receiving cancer treatment. With the application of biophilic design in interior hospice care, it can be used as baseline data for hospice care design for pediatric patients.
