This research uses descriptive-analytical method with qualitative data processing. The results found in the case study are that there are several typologies of wudu spaces that affect user comfort in terms of ergonomics. In addition, the redundancy of water and circulation corridor spaces is a challenge for the sustainability of wudu places.
