There are still people with disabilities in society who consider them a burden. However, in fact, every child with special needs such as a blind people has the right to have a decent life like any other community. So, we need an orphanage for the blind people with a blind space approach that aims to provide social services to blind children by helping and guiding them towards reasonable personal development and having work skills, so that they can be independent, live properly and have responsibility, both for himself, his family, and society. This research used a qualitative descriptive method by collecting literature studies from national and international journal articles regarding the blind orphanage, collecting data related to the research location and conducting a comparative study of similar buildings in Central Jakarta. This research resulted in a blind orphanage design with a blind space in Jakarta approach that provides disability facilities for visually impaired people, educational facilities, and activity facilities for visually impaired people. It is hoped that the design of the Blind Orphanage can accommodate the activities of the Blind people in Jakarta.
