| Summary: | In current era, the nature of business is ever-changing where communication and interaction between
office workers are encouraged as the scope of work for office is expanding. Traditional offices with
identical cubicles separated with panels are ineffective because not all workers are in the same
activity mode at the same time. Providing and maintaining a comfortable and healthy office
environment is vital consideration in designing an office. The interior layout design parameter involved
are the comfortability of furniture, surrounding temperature, amount of lighting provided, the quality of
indoor air, spatial arrangement, the condition of environment in terms of noise and privacy, and finally
the 2D horizontal and vertical layout. This research seeks to identify the factors of interior layout
design parameter that will affect the productivity and performance of the workers. The research is
conducted using quantitative method. Questionnaire is distributed to the building occupants to
evaluate and obtain their opinion on the satisfaction level of the layout at their workplace. The user
satisfaction and perception on the existing interior layout design are gathered by using a
questionnaire survey. The study proves that the workers are most satisfied with the lighting and least
satisfied with the furniture at their existing interior layout design. The workers from both case studies
agreed that the interior layout design parameter that has the most effect on the productivity is the
environment noise and privacy; while 2D horizontal and vertical layout has the least effect. |
