Learn to design interiors to make our lives healthier, more empowering and beautiful.
From reimagining architectural spaces to crafting human-centered furniture, our Interior Architecture program is rooted in curiosity, experimentation, and making. Our curriculum blends interior architecture with furniture design to give students a versatile, forward-thinking design education. You'll learn to define forms and design spaces with purpose—rooted in research, inquiry, and making.
Why
Interior Architecture?
I appreciate the diversity in design skills we learn to use. Not only have I designed physical objects like vacuums and coffee shops, but I have also developed graphic design, marketing, and multi-disciplinary skills. Interior Architecture has given me a unique, yet diversified skillset and that makes every project exciting to execute.

I love how close you become with your classmates and even students in other years in school. I also love how Interior Architecture students are collaborative, and always willing to help each other. I believe that getting to converse with students outside your year and your studio allows you to learn as a designer, and also to be a teacher.
