Drawing is a skill, learnt and perfected by practice. PID DAT is not just to judge your skills at drawing or sketching but rather to assess your ability to question the design problem and communicate your ideas/design solutions.
Space planning is fundamental in interior design—it's like the blueprint for a functional and visually appealing space. It involves analysing how people will use the space, determining the layout, circulation, and functionality. It ensures that every inch of the space is optimised for comfort, efficiency, and aesthetics.
Colour schemes set the mood and tone of a space. It's crucial to understand colour psychology and how different hues interact. Factors like lighting, room size, and intended atmosphere influence colour choices. We consider the client's preferences, purpose of the space, and the desired emotional impact to create harmonious and visually pleasing palettes.
Technology has revolutionized interior design. We use advanced software for 3D modelling, rendering, and virtual reality to visualise designs before execution. It streamlines the design process, allowing for precise detailing and client presentations. Additionally, smart home technology integration has become a significant aspect, enhancing convenience and sustainability.
Sustainability is integral to responsible design. We prioritise eco-friendly materials, energy-efficient systems, and sustainable practices to minimise environmental impact. From sourcing locally produced materials to utilising recycled elements, our aim is to create spaces that are not just visually appealing but also environmentally conscious and socially responsible.
Real-world projects come with diverse challenges. Communication with clients, managing budgets, adhering to timelines, and handling unexpected issues during execution are common hurdles. Problem-solving skills, effective communication, and adaptability are key in overcoming these challenges and delivering successful design solutions.
Culture profoundly influences design aesthetics, preferences, and functional needs. It reflects in colour choices, furniture styles, spatial layouts, and decorative elements. Understanding cultural nuances is essential to creating designs that resonate with clients and their intended audience, ensuring spaces that feel familiar and comfortable.
