There is a call from many architects and academics to redesign houses due to the pandemic of Covid-19. The underline reason is that the house cannot facilitate basic functions in responding to this extraordinary situation. Fully working and playing at home are also found challenging in a house that was not intended to. The Indonesia Government forced to apply a lockdown policy including in Aceh.. During this period, specifically in August 2021, this study conducted an online survey on residential satisfaction in Aceh. The questionnaires were distributed with Google Forms through the Whatsapp application. The objectives are to identify their satisfaction level with the house during the lockdown, to know the need for renovation if possible because of the “work from home” experience, and to know what parts of the house need to be facilitated if it can be redesigned. The questionnaire was adapted from a similar study published in a highly indexed journal. Data were analyzed with descriptive analysis and the Relative importance index (RII). A total of 255 respondents from Banda Aceh city were collected with the majority characteristics being women, educated, working, and from middle-income groups. Most respondents live with at least five family members in the house, as the owner, occupy more than 5 years, work from home, spend more time inside the house while lockdown, live in a complex housing area, single house design, and brick as the main materials. The result shows that moderate level of satisfaction with their house as a majority (50%) followed by satisfied (47%). They rate the property as still in good condition (66.7%). Mostly to work and study, respondents used the bedroom (54.3%), and only 14% of respondents have a study room. The top ten most important elements of residential satisfaction are house location (.770), power supply (.762), privacy level (.747), near to market (.743), near to shopping facilities (.736), noise level (.736), satisfied in general with residential life (.733), supply of clean water (.730), natural lighting and fresh air (.727), and near to health care facilities (.726). To work and study, respondents used bedrooms (54.3%) and so far can facilitate self-isolation (51%). This study found that extra room for self-isolation, room to work/study/pet/pray/exercise, a garden, and able to sunbathe in privacy are the spaces in which the residents demand better design in the future.
