Interior Architecture & Design

More information

The Interior Architect or Designer has become a relevant figure throughout the professional industry with an important key role in the architectural field. This is due to the evolution and development of new techniques and skills in the interior sector which, inevitably, have ended up influencing the approach of a new design culture. 

The Interior Architecture & Design programme focuses on interdisciplinary practice to create spaces that are functional, beautiful and that fulfil the human requirements. 

The program emphasizes interior architectural design, construction technologies, theory of interior art and design, history and communication. Persuasive communication is an ongoing theme of the programme and our students will learn how to use the most up-to-date software programmes and technologies to present high-quality designs and projects.

With the application of the best design software, 3D modelling, rendering and graphics, students will arrive at valid, accurate and captivating design solutions. Students will additionally learn how to incorporate innovative, sustainable and responsible practice into their design strategies. Progressively, over the three-year programme, Interior Architecture & Design students will explore how to innovate a growing discipline through a variety of design complexities and realities of the contemporary industry.

At the Marbella Design Academy, our students are able to produce innovative interior spaces using creative approaches to spatial organization, perception, materials, furnishings and lighting.

“This year has been very good in all aspects. I have learned a lot and I have improved from the beginning until now.

BA (Hons) in Interior Architecture & Design – 2nd year.
“I have been to international schools, but never one as diverse as Marbella Design Academy, and I have made many friends from different cultures and backgrounds. One of the things I liked most at the academy is that the projects we were given had a wide range of choices, meaning we could customize them to however we wanted our career path to go down, and what type of style we wanted to practice. At the end of the course, we really had found out our own style and our own creative personality.”

BA (Hons) in Interior Architecture and Design
My time at Marbella Design Academy was the toughest and best time of my life. The tutors there pushed me and believed in me when I didn’t and in the end I’m amazed at what I have accomplished. I learned to do things I never thought I would be able to do and made friends I’ll never forget.
Sigrún Hreiðarsdóttir from Iceland
BA (Hons) in Interior Architecture and Design
When my son started with the Foundation Course I knew he was creative and his mind full of ideas and imagination.
I am overwhelmed by the way during the following 3 years of the BA (Hons) Interior Architecture programme he has been taught how to develop this creativity into the professional, organised way he is now able to communicate and present his ideas.

BA (Hons) in Interior Architecture and Design.
My time at Marbella Design Academy was very rewarding.
During my years at the school I worked on several different projects that helped me evolve as a designer and interior architect. You will have all the resources you need to launch your professional career after graduation thanks to the supportive and knowledgeable professional educators as well as the welcoming atmosphere of the school. Overall a school I can definitively recommend and I’m happy I decided to move abroad – not only for the education itself – but also for the cultural aspects. By attending Marbella Design Academy it has prepared me for work in Spain of which the Academy has obtained and helped me to get.
Finally I’d like to express my sincere gratitude for all the help and encouragement I’ve received over the years.

Paula Sonora – Sweden
BA (Hons) in Interior Architecture & Design – 2nd year
I transferred this year to the second year at Marbella Design Academy.
During the year I have learnt many different things but among the most remarkable I have learnt are a professional approach to a project. I have learnt how to make all the technical drawings (electrical plan, sewerage plan, lighting plan… ) and graphically how to create a nice layout, how to work with Photoshop and Indesign applying it to our renders, floor plans, sections…. )
I have also been taught the importance of making a perfect research and incorporate the results into my design projects.

Kristine Heisholte – Norway
BA (Hons) in Interior Architecture & Design
I am an Interior architecture student, completing my first year at Marbella Design Academy. I chose Marbella Design Academy for many reasons, but most importantly, because I will soon graduate with an official United Kingdom BA Honors degree.
The best thing about being a student in Marbella Design Academy is that there are only a few students in each class, which enables you to have the freedom of asking as many questions you desire, as well as the chance of getting more one-on-one attentiveness from the teacher.
The best thing about living in Monda is that it is a quiet, relaxing village with lots of greenery. Also, all the students in the Academy live at walking distance from my house.
After completing my studies I’m going to work at my Grandfathers Architectural Company in Kuwait.

Heidi – Faroe Islands
Interior Architecture student
I am studying interior architecture and am in my first year of study.
My dream has always been to move to Spain and I have always been interested in interior design, so I wanted to combine my two interests.
The best thing about studying in Spain apart from the good weather is that you get to meet new people and learn a new culture.
My plans are to either continue studying in London or look for a job anywhere in the world.
