Interior Design Fundamentals: Plan Creative Workspaces

Start by getting to know Monika Lepel as she talks about her passion for interior design and, above all, the design of office spaces. She also shares her background as an architect and what experiences and projects have defined her career the most.

Get straight down to learning the fundamentals of interior design and its influence when it comes to designing workspaces. Using the Google offices in Düsseldorf as a case study, Monika introduces you to the theoretical foundations behind these types of spaces with the aim of promoting togetherness and fueling creativity.

Next, discover the three most important factors when it comes to designing offices: architecture, the client, and the different spaces. Analyze each element in order to identify opportunities as well as assess the risks, gather relevant information, and imbue it with its own narrative.

Now it's time to get designing! Gradually develop your idea by selecting materials and sketching the rooms. Monika then teaches you to present your ideas and designs in a compelling way using a range of techniques and models to get everything into one single pitch.

Your teacher helps you wrap up your project exploring the experiences, knowledge, and links you've managed to create with your design. To round out the course, learn to look for and develop your own artistic take on a project.
