The article examines key features of interior design for coworking spaces and next-generation offices. Based on a systematic literature review, three interrelated groups of design solutions have been identified: spatial flexibility with adaptive layout strategies; comfort zones employing biophilic design; and the integration of smart technologies alongside digital-detox areas. The study demonstrates that the application of modular furniture and movable partitions enables rapid transformation of space to suit diverse work scenarios. The incorporation of biophilic elements and restorative zones is shown to reduce stress and enhance cognitive performance, while the combination of IoT infrastructure with acoustic pods and analog retreats balances productivity with mental recovery. The potential of an interdisciplinary model is described, uniting location factors, post-digital and post-work “comfort territories,” as well as the aesthetic dimensions of “post-touristic” décor. The material presented will interest researchers in architecture and hybrid workspace design—including ergonomics and neuropsychology experts analyzing the influence of spatial configurations on cognitive productivity and interpersonal interaction within collaborative environments. Furthermore, it will appeal to project leaders developing corporate and coworking platforms, urban planners, and strategic real-estate consultants seeking to assess the economic, social, and environmental effectiveness of innovative office solutions.
