CLAY + YOGA

‘Movement’ and ‘Fluidity’ are the two main concepts within this design. Considering the physical aspects of yoga, alongside the act of throwing pottery, the design has been conceptualised to create a space that seamlessly hybridises the two activities together.
This is achieved not only through the physical spaces, but also atmospherically, using the heat from the pottery kiln as a source of heat for ‘Hot Yoga’, and socially, as the clients come together in the communal spaces.

This visual displays the First Floor Clay Studio Workshop. This could be considered to be one of the most important spaces within the design, not only due to the activity taking place, but also as it is located in a prime viewing spot in the building, able to be seen from a number of locations on both the Ground and First Floor.

The reasoning behind the name ‘Light Yoga Studio’ is evident in this visual. As this side of the building is South-Facing, it receives the most natural daylight out of all of the client-specific areas in the design.

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.
