Introduction
 WHAT IS INTERIOR DESIGN ?

I nterior design is all about how we experience spaces. It’s a powerful,

essential part of our daily lives and affects how we live, work, play, and even
heal. Comfortable homes, functional workplaces, beautiful public spaces—
that’s interior design at work.

The art of Planning and Designing the interior spaces of the building.

The profession that requires artistic, technical and aesthetic skills.

Interior design is the art and science of enhancing the interior of a building to
achieve a healthier and more aesthetically pleasing environment for the
people using the space. An interior designer is someone who plans,
researches, coordinates, and manages such enhancement projects.

Interior design is a multifaceted profession that includes conceptual

development, space planning, site inspections, programming, research,
communicating with the stakeholders of a project, construction
management, and execution of the design.

When thinking about interior design, words like creativity and flair immediately spring to mind –
but many would be surprised to find there is a degree of science involved. Professional interior
designers will usually follow a set of informal “rules”, based on specific interior design principles
and elements. These interior design elements include space, line, forms, light, colour, texture and
pattern; and keeping them balanced is the key to creating an aesthetically pleasing interior.

WORKING AS INTERIOR DESIGNER;…

The job of an Interior Designer is to come up with ideas and conceptualise

the design keeping the environment of a particular space in mind. The next
step for them is to transform their ideas and concepts into reality. Drawing
skills and sense of creativity are the two most important aspects of this
business. More than a thousand Interior Designers graduate every year to
pursue their dreams. While there is no dearth of opportunities for Interior
Designers in India, the options to make a career in this field is relevant across
the globe.
Interior designers make interior spaces functional, safe, and beautiful by
determining space requirements and selecting decorative items, such as
colors, lighting, and materials. They read blueprints and must be aware of
building codes and inspection regulations, as well as universal accessibility
standards.

Responsibilities of Interior Designer

Here are some of the major responsibilities that an interior designer enjoys.
•Brainstorming and conceptualizing ideas.
•Visualising and sketching design plans for interior spaces.
•Keeping an eye on the upcoming trends.
•Ensuring that the end result is aesthetic and functional.

Interior design is an integral part of architecture, focused on
creating interior spaces that make the building both functional and
aesthetically appealing.

• Residential interior designers coordinate the

One of the biggest arenas for
designers is residential design, or
the interiors of spaces in which
people live. This can include houses,
apartments, condos, and anywhere
else where people reside. The
architect may build the house, but
it's the designer's job to make it a
home.
interiors of homes
• Need to consider the primary function of a
residence.
• Needs to be comfortable and usable, where you
relax, cook, and eat.
• Interior designer needs to ensure that the colors,
lighting, furniture, appliances, temperature, and
general layout meet these needs.
• A residential designer’s primary focus is creating
a livable space.

CONCEPT
A contemporary style of decorating is
defined by simplicity, subtle
sophistication, deliberate use of
texture, and clean lines.
 Interiors tend to showcase space rather than things.
Uses of Color
Neutrals, black, and white are the main colors in contemporary style interiors. Black is often used
for grounding and defining a contemporary style room.
Line and Space
The most obvious and distinctive element of a contemporary style interior design is the line.
Whether straight vertical or horizontal lines or curved shapes, strong visible lines are evident in any
contemporary-style home.
Contemporary-Style Furniture
Furniture pieces should make a bold statement but at the same time be simple and uncluttered,
without curves or decoration. Smooth, clean, geometric shapes are essential. Upholstered furniture
often wears black, white, or other neutral tones, using the natural fibers found in wool, cotton, linen,
silk, jute to add textural appeal. Pillows in clean geometric shapes add a shot of color and texture.
Flooring
Floors in a contemporary style home should be bare and smooth, using wood, tile, or vinyl.
Lighting Considerations and Art
Include color and metallic elements on the light fixtures.

SPACES

its clean lines and minimalistic colors, can

 LIVING ROOM

In this first image from the living area, we are

automatically drawn to the statues places around
the room, even with an ancient Greek-style
column as an end table.

Notice that the statues flank the most modern

items in the room — a flat screen television and
desktop computer.

The slouchy gray sofa has its own modern appeal

without the harsh firmness that
some contemporary styles can have.
 LIVING ROOM

Floor to ceiling bookshelves leave

plenty of room for displaying books or
knick knacks, so that they become
their own kind of artwork.

Another statue is displayed proudly on

the mantle alongside line drawings of
the St. Petersburg neighborhood.
DINING

 DINING AREA

A simple dining area with sunlight

streaming in from corner windows is a
perfect retreat at any time of day.

The unique light fixture over the dining

table, seen here close up, contrasts with
the more classical elements, including the
bust to the left.
MASTER

 MASTER BEDROOM

The master bedroom features an impressive

accent wall with a massive relief design that
makes you feel as if you’ve stepped into a palace.

A cushioned bumper around the edge of the

platform bed makes things a bit cozier.

Even though the television may seem out of place,

the tiled wall treatment leaves a perfect space for
it, so it manages to fit in anyway.
 MASTER BEDROOM

The massive walk-in closet is a

contemporary twist on an ancient feature.

Two doors let you easily slip into the bathroom or

the main room from the closet.
BATHROOM
 BATHROOM

The bathroom itself is entirely modern with slick

marble walls and deep porcelain basins.

But here we see that the classical influence has

made it in here, too, with a statue peering down
from a built-in shelf.

The room makes the most of a smaller space with

a deep tub and shower in addition to his and hers
sinks.

Buildings pose complex design problems
that require the harmonious synthesis of
aesthetics, function and digital capabilities.
The Edge is an office building in
Amsterdam, The Netherlands that showcases
the benefits of BIM. Completed in
November 2014, The Edge was built with
the Internet of Things (IoT) as its
foundational principle. Its design and
construction did not use BIM in the
prescribed sense but its implementation of
smart technologies enables The Edge to
achieve many of BIM’s benefits and it
perhaps even serves as an exemplar for a
few.

By differentiating between daylight and

sunlight, the atrium at The Edge was
oriented facing north. Solar path studies on
3-D computer models helped PLP explore
several form iterations before arriving at an
ideal shape for the building’s footprint. By
slicing parts of the northern faces, diffused
natural light was drawn deepener into the
floorplates and workspaces were organized
to face a tiered atrium.

The atrium is the social heart of

The Edge with its café, tiered
workspaces lit by diffused north

THE DESIGN

The design for The Edge

was assisted at least
in part by Dutch building
bye-laws. One
such directly applicable
dictates that every
employee has a right to
daylight and needs to
sit close to a window.
Broadly interpreted, a
window could be opening
into a naturally lit
atrium – like that at The
Edge – or it could
be one with an external
view.
The atrium stretches 15 stories
at The Edge with skybridges and
balconies maintaining visual
sight lines.
The atrium is the gravitational center of the Edge’s solar
system. Mesh panels between each floor let stale office air spill
into open space, where it rises and is exhaled through the roof,
creating a loop of natural ventilation. Slight heat variations and
air currents make it feel like the outdoors. Even on a stormy
day, the building remains opalescent with natural light and
angles of glass.

The atrium and its iconic slanted roof, which looks from the
outside as if a wedge has been sliced off the building, floods
the workspaces with daylight and provides a sound buffer from
the adjacent highway and train tracks. Every workspace is
within 7 meters (23 feet) of a window.
The market for smart technologies in buildings and BIM is also directly related.
The focus of using smart technology in offices is not only to minimise the carbon
footprint of a building but also to actively promote human interaction, collaboration
and creativity among occupants. There remains little doubt of the role that IT will continue to play in the building
industry and it is in this context that emerging lessons from The Edge must be duly noted.
As different kinds of workrequired varying amounts of
time to be spent at individual desks, the results
revealed that less than 50% of their employee desks
were occupied all the time. Consulting personnel in
particular were shown to have a high desk sharing their
employee numbers would increase by 78% by 2020.

However, they sought to effectively reduce 36% desks

by innovating a task and activity based assignment
system rather than personbased one, thereby
accommodating more employees on a smaller footprint.

With this guiding principle in mind, new office, The

Edge in Amsterdam
FURNITURES
TECHNICALS…
The Edge is wired with a vast network of two
different kinds of tubes: one that holds data
(ethernet cables) and another that holds
water. Behind each ceiling tile is a massive coil
of thin blue piping that delivers water to and
from the building’s subterranean water
storage for radiant heating and cooling.

The southern wall is a checkerboard of solar

panels and windows. Thick load-bearing
concrete helps regulate heat, and deeply
recessed windows reduce the need for
shades, despite direct exposure to the sun.
The roof is also covered with panels. The ​Edge
uses ​7​0 percent less electricity than ​the typical
office building​, but it wasn’t until OVG
installed panels on the rooftops of some
neighboring university buildings that the Edge
was able to boast that it produces more
energy than it consumes.
