By maintaining their current functions or by providing them with new ones and utilizing them, historical and cultural heritage buildings can be transferred to the future. While maintaining the continuity of our historical structures, it is crucial to ensure that the buildings that continue to serve their original purposes adapt to the comfort levels of the time and that the structures that have been given new purposes include the structural arrangements required by the function. Traditional homes are now largely employed for new purposes because they can no longer accommodate changing family dynamics and spatial requirements. This study, whose objective is "to address the benefits of refunctioning and the adverse consequences it may create," has been assessed in relation to Zeynep Onbaşı House, which is situated in the heart of Kula's city and within an urban protected area. The traditional home that is the focus of the study is currently a boutique hotel. In this context, a broad description of Zeynep Onbaşı's house was given before an explanation of the building's architectural elements. Later, the new role assigned to the house was examined after the good and bad aspects of the new function were analyzed. In light of this, it was determined that the refunctioning project, despite having tolerable drawbacks, was largely effective.

The aim of this study is to determine the satisfaction levels of indoor users in an educational structure; to examine and reveal on the basis of visual comfort parameters (lighting, material and colour/texture). In order to determine the interior physical environment quality and user satisfaction of the design studios of the Department of Interior Architecture and Environmental Design within the structure of the Faculty of Architecture and Design, Istanbul Gedik University Campus, which was chosen as the study area; it was evaluated by taking into account the opinions of students and instructors. It is important that the research is carried out on the basis of volunteerism of the users. In this context, the users were informed about the informed consent and the Voluntary Consent Form was signed. Questionnaire forms were distributed to 100 students studying at Istanbul Gedik University, Faculty of Architecture and Design, Department of Interior Architecture and Environmental Design, and 20 lecturers working in the same department, taking into account the principle of volunteering; and the study was examined in the direction of these data. In the findings obtained as a result of the survey; students and instructors find natural lighting sufficient, they are satisfied with natural lighting and ceiling material; On the contrary, it was concluded that they were not satisfied with the artificial lighting, wall material, sitting position, not ability to see the screen / board easily in all conditions, and visual and graphic design competence. The result of the research reveals that visual comfort conditions are partially provided in Interior Architecture and Environmental Design studios.
