Contemporary minimalism is one type of architecture emerged in Indonesia, especially in Medan. The type is simple and small dimensions characterize minimalism. Does every Muslim family in the area of Medan (sample) is easily adaptable to the needs that exist in minimalist contemporary architecture include the need for privacy, modesty, and hospitality?. Therefore, the research purpose is to discover a Muslim family adaptation to the needs of space and performance. The method used was a qualitative method of mapping the behavior by place-centered mapping.
