Perception of indoor spatial quality in public residences in Akure, Nigeria

This study investigated the synergy between the residential indoor spatial configuration and the perception of use of the space by the occupants. This was done with the intention of fostering a better design for satisfaction having understood human condition and specific definition with their fundamental philosophy of communication with space. The primary data was sourced through the use of a questionnaire administered to the residents in the study area and further study utilised relevant text and publications on the subject matter. The data collected from the respondents were subjected to both descriptive and inferential statistics. The result indicated usage of space in contrast from the architectural specification and the raptness of activities of daily living on a particular space rather than spread amidst the designed spaces. The study therefore concluded by suggesting strongly that the lifestyle and perception of needs and values of the people with space should form the approach in the design of spatial configuration of residential projects.
