APRICUS

We tend to appreciate natural beauty less nowadays, especially amidst a global pandemic.

Hidden within Nottingham's Arboretum is The Coach House. Details of which have been retained and considered through a conservatory extension, connecting it to the rest of the site and inspiring the name 'Apricus'.

A Temprell and Gigil & Bloom hybrid inhabits Apricus. The blooming florals provide a fully immersive and unique experience for customers of the jewellers and florists inevitably bringing them closer together.

The Conservatory is the new extension to the original building. This space provides the florists with an area suitable to grow their own flowers to be dried and incorporated into their arrangements.

BA (Hons) Interior Architecture and Design

Interior Architecture and Design at NTU has an incredibly long and rich history; with Interior Decoration taught at the first ever UK Art school, in the Waverley building during the 1950s.

Over the last 70 years, our programme has grown and adapted to meet the requirements of industry and social change, respond to trends, and deliver a degree which encourages students to look, think, critically appraise, and understand local and world issues amongst the principles of design.

We are a validated degree programme in which our students can join the Chartered Society of Designers, and we are members of the Interior Educators network. Our dedicated design studio in the Grade II* listed Arkwright building enables a studio culture which reflects professional practice, in a dynamic environment that challenges everyone to work collaboratively, share experiences and experiment with ideas.
