Space planning & design

Good renovation decisions start before any price is discussed: with a layout that suits how the household actually lives, enough storage in the right places, and a plan for daylight and ventilation in a hot, humid climate. These guides explain the thinking behind a designer's drawings so that homeowners can brief a designer well, or plan a smaller project themselves, and so that trainee designers can see the reasoning rather than just the result.

The articles are written by the designers who teach at Renoox Academy and draw on real projects, with floor plans and photographs from the work. For readers who want to go further than a few articles, the Academy runs structured courses that lead to a professional diploma in interior design.
