Interior Speculations
We understand this building as a place that will resist being forgotten, residing in the hearts of its users, a place where sensitivity must be controlled.
Uncertainty; a concept used within the design process, is emphasised through the juxtaposition of hybridising two seemingly opposite businesses. A funeral home, unable to deal with capacity following the COVID19 pandemic; and a new vertical farming company struggling to find its feet.
The project follows the amalgamation of Life & Death.

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.
