English The first part of this thesis delves into the notion of sensory processing disorder, providing a comprehensive understanding of what it entails and examples of sensory regulation and modulation techniques used by individuals to manage sensory input. Furthermore, we will explore strategies for creating more accessible work environments for adults with SPD, highlighting the importance of considering sensory needs in workspace design to promote comfort, productivity, and well-being. The second part focuses on sensory rooms as a design solution to address the sensory needs of adults in workspaces. It includes defining what sensory rooms are, tracing their historical development, and examining their potential benefits for adults. Then, we will review various sensory room designs to understand how they started and how they can be modulated. Finally, we will see examples of neurodiverse design initiatives in workspaces that support individuals with diverse sensory profiles.
