Design - Interior Design

Interior Design is about the revitalisation and enrichment of buildings, the creation of exciting, enjoyable - and practical - environments. Old buildings and new functions must be made compatible. Existing qualities must be respected and future identities defined.

Designing an interior, like every other creative act, involves making a personal statement but a shared understanding of social and architectural conventions gives designers and those who use their buildings a common language. The designer must enrich the vocabulary of that language.

Interior Design is a vibrant profession with a proven record for improving quality of life and generating business success. It has a well-established professional structure which allows graduates the opportunity to gain invaluable experience at various levels of responsibility before choosing to set up in independent practice or take leading roles in established studios.
