Abstract

With the global spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in the world, domestic spaces have become dramatically important in terms of controlling pandemics and as an environment that must meet the needs of residents during the quarantine period. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the health parameters in the domestic space in the apartment type after COVID-19. The indicators related to physical health, mental health, and socio-economic lifestyle changes affecting the interior architecture of apartment houses have been evaluated with the use of a questionnaire with 632 respondents in Tehran. These indicators have been measured with regard to space, building structure, mental comfort, self-sufficiency, and workplace. The data were analysed using Friedman, Mean, and ANOVA tests to prioritize indicators in the SPSS software. The results indicated that variables related to mental health such as natural light, view, acoustic, and open or semi-open space are of particular importance. Therefore, attention to mental health parameters should be considered by planners, builders, and architects in apartment design.
