Lesson 2: Design Project Structure and Stages

Objective of the Lesson:
Students will gain a comprehensive understanding of the key stages of an interior design project, from initial concept to final implementation. This knowledge will equip students to manage projects effectively, collaborate with clients and multidisciplinary teams, and apply global best practices in an international context, focusing on the interior designer’s scope of work.

Main Stages of a Design Project:
1. Space Planning Solutions:
This critical initial stage establishes the functional foundation of the space, ensuring it meets the client’s needs while adhering to safety and accessibility standards.
Includes:
• Conducting measurements of existing spaces and creating a detailed survey plan of load-bearing walls, structures, ventilation, and equipment.
• Developing a survey plan.
• Creating conceptual layout schemes for the space (2–3 variants), including an explanatory note (explication).
• Developing zoning schemes (2–3 variants).
• Preparing a scheme for the demolition and construction of new walls, partitions, and structures, coordinated with architects and engineers.
• Creating a furniture layout scheme.
Additional Information:
• Interior designers focus exclusively on internal layout plans, such as zoning schemes and furniture arrangements, and do not create structural drawings like facades or wall sections, which are the responsibility of architects or engineers. In international practice, space planning must comply with local building codes and accessibility standards (e.g., ADA requirements). Challenges, such as irregular room shapes or limited square footage, are addressed through iterative planning and collaboration with architects for any structural modifications.
Recommended Literature for Independent Study:
• Space Planning Basics by Mark Karlen, ISBN: 978-1118882009.
• The House that Pinterest Built by Diane Keaton, ISBN: 978-0847860005.

2. Style Solutions and Visualizations:
This stage focuses on developing the stylistic concept for the interior and presenting it to the client to align with their vision and preferences.
Includes:
• Providing recommendations and obtaining approvals for interior solutions that define the style.
• Offering style recommendations and approvals for decorative materials, lighting design, wall and floor coverings, and furniture selection, based on the budget.
• Creating mood boards, collages, and 3D visualizations of the space (2–3 key perspectives for each room subject to design).
Additional Information:
• Visualizations are essential for securing client approval and may incorporate cultural or regional design elements in international projects. Challenges, such as managing client revisions, are resolved through clear communication and iterative feedback. Designers must balance creativity with practical constraints, such as material availability and budget limitations.

Recommended Literature for Independent Study:
• The Interior Design Handbook by Frida Ramstedt, ISBN: 978-0593139318.
• Interior Design Illustrated by Francis D.K. Ching, ISBN: 978-1119377207.

3. Schematic Drawings for Contractors:
At this stage, interior designers create schematic drawings by integrating documentation and drawings provided by other professionals, such as engineers, architects, furniture manufacturers, material suppliers, plumbers, electricians, HVAC specialists, and smart home technicians. Interior designers do not have the authority or licensure to produce structural or engineering drawings but must compile and adapt professional documentation into their own schematic designs for contractors.
Includes:
• Lighting layout scheme, specifying the placement of light fixtures.
• Plumbing fixture placement scheme, detailing the positioning of sanitaryware.
• Flooring and baseboard layout scheme, outlining the arrangement of floor coverings and baseboards.
• Wall paint specification scheme, indicating areas for painting and color selections.
• Tile layout scheme, detailing the placement and pattern of tiles.
• Wall and ceiling decor scheme, specifying decorative elements such as moldings or panels.
• Scheme for additional decorative elements on walls and ceilings (e.g., accent features or artwork placements).
• Door placement scheme, indicating the location and type of doors.
Additional Information:
• These schematic drawings serve as a guide for contractors and must be precise, clear, and compliant with project requirements. In international projects, adherence to local standards (e.g., ISO for symbols) may be required. Challenges, such as coordinating with multiple specialists or resolving discrepancies in documentation, are addressed through regular consultations and thorough reviews.
Recommended Literature for Independent Study:
• Architectural Graphics by Francis D.K. Ching, ISBN: 978-1119035664.
• Interior Construction & Detailing for Designers and Architects by David Kent Ballast, ISBN: 978-0912045672.

4. Designer’s Supervision (Project Support):
In this stage, the interior designer oversees the implementation process to ensure the realization of their design vision, as approved by the client and coordinated with relevant specialists. The designer is responsible only for ensuring that their design concept, agreed upon at all stages, is executed correctly. The interior designer is not responsible for the quality of work performed by builders, contractors, or other specialists, nor for defects in finishing materials, furniture, or interior items supplied by vendors. Additionally, the designer is not liable for issues related to improper delivery, such as damage, breakage, or loss of ordered materials, furniture, or interior items.
Includes:
• Maintaining project documentation, including timelines and budgets, and ensuring all parties adhere to agreed schedules.
• Facilitating ongoing communication with clients, contractors, and other professionals to address issues promptly, including site visits and progress updates.
• Supervising the project to ensure the design vision is realized, including quality control of the design implementation and adjustments for unforeseen challenges within the designer’s scope.
Additional Information:
• This stage involves managing risks related to design implementation, such as misinterpretations of the design intent, through proactive communication. The designer collaborates with multidisciplinary teams but does not oversee the technical execution of construction or the quality of supplied materials. In international projects, cultural differences in communication styles may require tailored approaches to maintain clarity and alignment.
