Course Syllabus (9 Modules)

Module 1 — Introduction to Interior Design
This module introduces interior design as both a creative and technical discipline. Students learn how interior design decisions respond to function, comfort, circulation, user needs, and aesthetics. The module also introduces the types of drawings and documentation typically required for interior projects.

 
Module 2 — Finishing Materials
Students learn how finishing materials are selected, organized, and documented. The module covers the logic of finishes in floors, walls, ceilings, wet areas, and high-traffic zones. Students learn how to present finishes clearly for execution and how materials influence design quality and durability.

 
Module 3 — Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment (FFE)
This module teaches how FFE is planned, placed, and documented in interior projects. Students learn how furniture layout supports circulation and function, how fixtures and equipment are represented in drawings, and how to communicate placement intent clearly for implementation.

 
Module 4 — Interior Elevations
Students learn how to draft interior elevations as key drawings that guide execution. The module covers elevation conventions, how to show finishes, wall elements, openings, and key components. Emphasis is placed on clarity, consistency, and how elevations coordinate with plans and sections.

 
Module 5 — Millwork and Cabinetry Design and Drawing
This module focuses on millwork as a major part of interior execution. Students learn how cabinetry and built-in elements are designed and represented through plans, elevations, and basic detailing. The module emphasizes practical construction logic, measurement discipline, and clean drawing output.

 
Module 6 — Kitchen and Bath Design
Students learn how to design and document kitchens and bathrooms—spaces that require strong coordination due to plumbing, equipment, storage, and finishes. The module focuses on layout logic, typical design standards, and drawing clarity for execution.

 
Module 7 — Reflected Ceiling Plan (RCP)
This module introduces the reflected ceiling plan as a professional interior drawing. Students learn how ceilings are designed, how ceiling elements are represented, and how RCPs coordinate with lighting layout, HVAC, and architectural features. Emphasis is placed on clear representation and coordination discipline.

 
Module 8 — Preparing Interior Drawings (Documentation Set)
Students learn how to compile interior drawings into a coherent documentation package. The module focuses on sheet organization, drawing coordination, consistency, and professional presentation. Students learn how to create an interior drawing set that reads clearly and supports real construction work.

 
Module 9 — Interior Design Studio Project (Capstone)
This final module is the studio component of the course. Students are assigned an interior design brief and must apply the full workflow taught throughout the program. Students are required to:

• Interpret the interior design brief and develop a complete interior proposal
• Produce a coordinated interior plan and FFE layout
• Develop interior elevations for key areas and wall conditions
• Prepare kitchen and bath drawings as required by the project scope
• Develop a reflected ceiling plan aligned with the interior intent
• Produce millwork/cabinetry drawings where necessary
• Organize all deliverables into a clean, professional interior documentation set

This studio module emphasizes integration, clarity, and execution-ready output. The completed project can serve as a portfolio piece demonstrating interior drawing competence.
