The COVID-19 virus, which took over the year 2020, introduced significant changes in people's behaviour, and thus has had and still has an impact on the shaping and reception of space. The ubiquitous plexiglass partitions, social distance determined by the range of infectious particles and the prohibition of meetings were the main factors of isolation leading sometimes to social phobia. On the other hand, enforced retreat had its advantages, such as slowing down life and strengthening ties among loved ones. It is difficult to talk about the post-COVID era today, when the virus continues to control the lives of millions and there is no end in sight. However, the impact of the pandemic on human space - especially the closest one - present and future (post-Covid) - is already visible. It is related to the dissonance that has arisen between the quality of space and the conflicting emotions and needs of isolated people, such as fear of people and the need for contact, digitization of relationships and the need for intimacy, the need for open space and privacy. This discrepancy prompts interior designers to revise their current approach to designing residential space (currently overused) and to search for new design paths. One of such paths will be described, including the original choice of space features, corresponding to the needs of a modern user. The article was written as part of the research task "Found in the landscape - inconspicuous / desired - imagined spaces".
