The design studio has always been the key feature of architecture education. Unfortunately, the design studio in universities focused too much on cost and the uniformity of design throughout the whole campus and this leads to office-like layout which is designed without taking note on the psychological approach of the architecture students using the spaces. This paper intends to elucidate this problem and tries to find the best design solution for a sustainable architectural design studio towards an effective studio learning outcome vital for a creative learning environment. This study has found out that there are three key factors that contributed in the development of creative studio learning environment among occupants which are—the needs to have a transformable private and personal space, multi-functional interactive space and livable natural setting. This study is important because suitable architectural studio will not only provide a creative learning environment to the users but also established referential guideline for future architects.
