Course programme

Interior Design Certificate 1
Residential Design

This course is designed for students who wish to achieve an overall grounding of Interior Design and who are considering it as a career option. The course is taught practically through design projects developed in the studio and is supported by a series of talks that cover fundamental skills, elements of the interior (materials, furniture, lighting and colour), twentieth century design history and professional practice.

Course content

Introduction to Interior Design

The design process is taught through a one room project. Students are given a client profile and asked to design a live work space in an eco construction at the bottom of the garden. The project is presented at the end of the course demonstrating the learning achievements in design analysis, planning, technical drawing, colour, light, materials, sourcing furniture and presentation techniques.

Design Process

Working on a larger project, a residential loft space, the student will consolidate the core skills learnt in Term One and will be introduced to new skills enabling a more exploratory and detailed approach to the design process. Subjects covered are: freehand and technical 3D drawing skills - sections, axonometric and perspective, sourcing materials and writing a specification, detail design, lighting design, rendering techniques to explore colour and materials in the interior, basic presentation skills.

Presentation Skills

Continuing to use the loft project as a medium for developing and strengthening the skills learnt so far, emphasis is placed on presentation skills as a method of depicting and communicating design ideas. Subjects covered are: detailed design of specific elements, examining materials and construction methods, development of perspective drawing skills, lighting design, depiction and communication methods to compile the project work into a cohesive presentation.
