Bürotime, which produces in accordance with COVID-19 measures, offers effective solutions for home office and working environments suitable for pandemic measures.

For about 1.5 years, various measures have been taken by governments to prevent the spread of COVID-19. These measures, which are based on the isolation of people from society for a while, take people’s lives in an unusual direction. Widespread applications such as working from home, hybrid model, and distance education result in individuals spending more time at home. Staying closed for a long time in concrete buildings away from nature; It leads to the emergence of needs that were not realized before the pandemic.

Urbanization and Environment Relationship

Increasing population in cities brings with it the problems of unplanned urbanization and construction. Urban design and architecture focuses on building construction to meet the needs of the large population. As a result, the reduced green spaces cause more polluted city air, an increase in carbon footprint and uncontrolled growth. Thus, increasing concretion makes the issue of climate crisis an even more serious problem.

Although pre-pandemic urbanization puts more housing in the center, COVID-19 shows that this is not enough. It reveals that buildings should offer more than shelter and that people need the soothing environment of nature. In addition to green in houses where more than one person lives; personal space requirement is also observed. Simple changes that can be made to most existing structures can offer solutions to these problems.

Post-Pandemic Interior Designs

Those who spend more time at home as a result of pandemic measures need more personal space. This problem draws more attention especially in small and few rooms. However, various solutions can be produced by making effective interior setups.

With the use of multifunctional furniture, which is increasing in number, in the design of small home spaces, a functional decoration can be created with less furniture. As a result of the efficient use of narrow spaces, much more personal space can be created.

In new architectural trends, houses with balconies and creating small gardens on balconies or terraces come to the fore. Vertical gardens , designed to use small space efficiently, are among the most important examples of this trend. At the same time, it is possible to say that there is an increased interest in houses with gardens, mountain and country houses away from the city. In residences without a balcony; The use of indoor plants is expected to increase.

Effects of Quarantine on the Environment and Daily Life

It has been observed that the amount of air pollution has also decreased as a result of the reduction of heavy vehicle traffic on a global scale with the COVID-19 quarantine. The short-term cessation of human activities, which are harmful to nature, ensures the revival of nature and draws attention to the climate crisis. Reducing the carbon footprint is being considered with new business models such as working from home.

In addition to the changing working styles with the pandemic, office environments are also being reconsidered. Instead of open office models, there is a tendency towards designs where social distance is maintained and contact is reduced. Sensored doors, elevators and tap mixers are used to reduce contact. Disinfection points are now among the necessary details we encounter before entering every interior… In order to maintain social distance, open work areas are divided into compartments and there are signs in various colors indicating safe boundaries in the spaces.
