Cascade Office Workspace Design in New Normal

Abstract

In 2020, the world entered a shocking stage, where the disease Covid-19 has become a problem for many countries. The government is preparing protocols in tackling this situation for the sake of moving the wheels of the economy by establishing a new normal for office interiors, organizational institutions, such as universities, and others. Now, the problem is not only focused on aesthetics and comfort, but also health protocols that must be part of planning considerations in designing interiors for the new normal era. This is a challenge for designers to design interiors, especially workspaces in accordance with Health protocols set by health institutions. This research is based on the design method from Rose Kilmer and the regulation of the minister of health to design the interior according to health protocols in the new normal era. The application of health protocols to the workspace can minimize the impact of transmission on employees who work and still enjoy the aesthetics and comfort that have been designed by the designer.
