| Summary: | This study defines the atmosphere of architecture students studying at home using ergonomic space in the house as a learning space during the covid-19 pandemic. Since the Movement Control Order (MCO) in March 2020, all public universities in Malaysia have made it mandatory for their students to study from home (SFH). The students have different study environments depending on their family economic background. Focussing on architecture students who are involved in designing works, they need a studio-like setting I space to place drafting materials and tools, computer or laptop and study and create furniture. This conducive studio setting is a crucial component in completing good architectural works within the given time frame. In response to SFH, this research explores students' perceptions and experiences on their home ergonomic environments and their expectations for a better home study environment.
