Abstract: Introduction: Sustainable architecture is a design and construction approach that seeks to reduce human impact on the environment and promote a more sustainable future. It is based on the use of environmentally friendly materials, energy efficiency, and adaptability to the changing needs of users and the environment. The One Health approach views sustainable architecture as a fundamental pillar in the ambition to achieve a comprehensive and holistic approach to minimize the environmental impact of buildings and improve the quality of life of their occupants. Objective: To analyze sustainable architecture from a One Health approach. Methods: 67 articles were identified, of which 25 were included, more than 75% from the last 3 years. These articles were sourced from academic search engines such as PubMed, MedLine, Ovid, ResearchGate, and Google Scholar. Development: Green building strategies, the use of non-toxic materials, and the integration of green spaces not only reduce environmental impact but also promote the physical and mental health of residents while preserving surrounding ecosystems. However, their implementation requires multidisciplinary collaboration, coherent public policies, and greater social awareness to scale effective solutions. Conclusions: The review highlights how sustainable architecture, aligned with OneHealth, can mitigate global crises such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and emerging diseases.
