This study investigates the influence of exterior apartment design on user preferences and perceptions of interior environments. The research was conducted in Afyonkarahisar, Turkey, focusing on ten apartment buildings whose façade characteristics were systematically analyzed. A structured questionnaire was administered to 270 residents living in these apartments. The findings reveal that 81% of participants believe that aesthetically appealing façades evoke curiosity about the interior, and 69% perceive a direct relationship between exterior and interior design. These results emphasize the critical role of façade design not only in shaping aesthetic judgments but also in influencing expectations about interior spatial quality.
