Enhancing Next-Generation Workplaces by Developing Office Interior Architecture with Biophilic Elements

Abstract

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.
