Abstract:
This study aims to explain recommendations for office space designs that seek to improve employee wellness during the post-pandemic period. This research is pragmatic research with a research and development (R&D) approach. The keywords used as the direction for the design concept were obtained from the initial research that had been carried out by the author. The results of the study explain that the biophilic design approach was chosen because it is considered capable of making liveable buildings that are suitable for meeting demands and respect, for both people and the environment. The implementation of a biophilic approach to interior design can be implemented in the selection of colors, materials, lighting, ventilation, room layout, and decoration aspects. The information collected is expected to be a recommendation for those who need it so that it can be used as a consideration or reference for design directions in the office space design process.
Keywords: spatial transformation, office space, post-pandemic, employee wellness, innovation
