Description
Summary:In today's world, with the impact of Covid-19 on businesses, hybrid work models have become necessity, and health and safety concerns have increased. Biophilic design has played a significant role, adapting to new requirements such as social distancing and hygiene in interior spaces. Biophilic design boosts employee motivation, performance, and enhances workplace ambiance through nature interaction. This study examines how biophilic design can be utilized to adapt to hybrid work models and enhance employee health and well-being. Innovative design proposals based on biophilic design principles, including plant arrangements, natural lighting, ventilation optimization, and flexible workspaces, have been developed. These designs adopt a human-centered approach, considering ergonomics, productivity, and employee well-being. Consequently, this study provides a comprehensive understanding of the importance of biophilic design for businesses and how interior workspaces can be designed. Additionally, the use of sustainable materials and energy efficiency was emphasized in the design process.
