| description | Customer satisfaction in high-rise residential buildings has evolved as an influential
framework in psychology, personal life satisfaction, community lifestyle, health, and
well-being. Architectural design has played a vital part in influencing the state and is the
main aspect that will directly influence house buyer decisions in Malaysia. This study
aims to determine the significant customer satisfaction element in high-rise residential
architectural design based on the unit layout plan and project design. Furthermore, this
study has specified the function of a professional architect in supervising and ensuring
the quality of high-rise residential architectural design. This study employed a mixedmethod
approach, with quantitative data serving as the primary source of information.
Structured interviews were conducted to validate the customer satisfaction factor in
Malaysian high-rise residential buildings based on questionnaire findings. The results of
the interviews were utilized to determine if the customer satisfaction factor was
equivalent to a professional architect's high-rise residential building design requirements.
A total of 189 questionnaires were sent to the intended house buyer at one of Malaysia's
high-rise residential complexes. Seventy people responded, and their responses were
determined to be beneficial for data analysis. Three of the project architects mentioned
above were interviewed for the construction project. The data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). From the data analysis, thirteen (13) primary factors in architectural design significantly affect customer satisfaction. They are House floor plan design; Quality of finishes IV workmanship; Quality of materials used for floor and wall; Unit scale and proportion;
Size of the rooms in the unit; Brightness or light in the unit during daytime; Location of
different rooms; Safety and security; Building accessibility; Building durability and life
span; Building orientation; Facility plan design and usage; Building performance
requirements. While four (4) primary roles in terms of professional architect services to
significantly affect customer satisfaction are Managing defects on architectural work;
Project design control; Supervision skill on construction work, and Quality assurance on
building work. According to the interview results, there is some disagreement between
the customer satisfaction factor and the architect's point of view. Based on the data, it is
possible to infer that the architectural design and services supplied by the architect in the
high-rise residential impact customer satisfaction. As a result, greater emphasis is likely
to be placed on those characteristics to increase consumer satisfaction with Malaysia's
high-rise residential building architectural design.
