Abstrak
Bau-bau City, Indonesia, has immense fishery potential, yet inadequate fish market conditions and a lack of consideration for tropical environmental aspects can hinder the growth of the fishery sector and decrease product quality. This research aims to design a seafood and processed fish sales center that can increase the added value of fishery products and support local economic growth. A tropical architectural approach was chosen to create a comfortable, efficient, and sustainable building. The research method used was descriptive qualitative, with data collected through literature studies and field observations. The results of the study indicate that the ideal location for the sales center is in a commercial and service area, close to the fish landing port. The building design adopts tropical architectural principles such as the use of overhangs, sloping roofs, large openings, cross ventilation, and local materials. The final design results in a sales center that not only serves as a transaction place but also as a comfortable and attractive public space. This building design is expected to enhance the attractiveness of Bau-bau City, increase the added value of fishery products, and make a positive contribution to the community and the surrounding environment.
