This article analyzes the influence of social changes and needs arising from the pandemic on architectural projects of multifamily residential buildings. A bibliographical research was carried out and interviews were made with 5 architects who carry out architectural projects of multifamily buildings in the city of Vitória-ES. In addition, projects of 18 buildings, from medium to high standard, launched between the years 2020 to 2022 in this city were analyzed. Research has shown that the pandemic has caused significant changes in the way residential buildings are designed, including the need for home office or coworking spaces, green areas and for pets, among others. It is concluded that social changes directly affect the way of living and the Coronavirus pandemic brought urgent demands that led to rapid and significant changes in residential building projects, which needed to be accompanied by the real estate market, resulting in changes favorable to health and well-being of the residents.
