Objectives: The Current study aims to identify trends in the interior design of administrative offices in post-COVID-19 work environments, with the goal of achieving healthier workspaces. The research seeks to answer the main question: "What are the most critical trends in the interior design of administrative offices post-COVID-19?"
Methods: The study utilized the descriptive-analytical method and applied it to a random sample of 104 designers and architects. The data were then statistically analyzed, and conclusions were drawn.
Results: The findings indicate a correlation between the design directions of administrative offices in work environments and the impact of the pandemic. These design directions also influence the emergence of new approaches to the design of administrative offices, aimed at creating safer and healthier work environments for employees. Additionally, they impact the distribution and manufacturing of furniture, posing significant challenges to the design of administrative offices in post-COVID-19 settings.
Conclusions: It is crucial to adopt critical measures in the design of administrative offices for post-COVID-19 work environments in order to achieve healthier workspaces.
