Interior of public spaces. Features and stages of development of the design project public places

The concept of public spaces is quite broad, as it covers a wide range of architectural objects: airports, shopping centers, cinemas, libraries, museums, educational institutions, conference halls, train stations, lobbies, gyms, etc.

In the process of designing a public interior, it is important to consider its key feature – the interior of public places should be designed for the mass consumer with common tastes and interests taken into account.
At the same time, all the details of the interior of a public place should provide maximum comfort for visitors to the institution.

In order to create an effective design of the outdoor space, it is necessary to take into account:
– The specifics of the room. For example, if we are talking about the sales area of a supermarket, it is important to consider places for comfortable placement of showcases and shelves, to provide free access for customers to goods and the checkout area, to take care of convenient aisles and good navigation.
– Your target audience, including gender, age group, social status and income level. For example, the interior of an expensive, high-income store should evoke a feeling of stability, luxury and elegance.
– Initial conditions of the area to be decorated. They are very important because the interior designer will develop his project, based on them. Here it matters, the location, size of the structure, the material from which it is built, etc.

Since public interiors must be made not only beautiful but also durable, it is important to pay special attention to the choice of materials:
– use anti-vandal coatings that will look aesthetic as long as possible (instead of “delicate” paints – decorative plaster, instead of laminate or parquet – tiles and porcelain tiles, instead of the usual plastic – durable composite materials, etc.)
– Choose quality sanitary ware and plumbing fixtures;
– Ensure that furniture surfaces are durable and smooth, and easy to keep clean;
– hide everything unnecessary from prying eyes and take care of safety.

Interior design of public spaces requires careful preparation and is one of the rather complex objects of architecture. On the shoulders of designers fall tangible responsibility and time-consuming process. When developing a design project of a public space it is necessary to understand the psychology of the influence of atmosphere and color scheme on the consciousness and subconsciousness of visitors and individual social groups, to have knowledge in the field of coloristics, ergonomics and architectonics of the interior.

To ensure that the design of commercial and public spaces fully meets all customer requirements and meets the needs of visitors, the team of architects ZIKZAK step by step approaches the design of the MOP:

Concept
Together with the client we develop a detailed design order, reflecting the number of workplaces, social groups, departments and their hierarchy, the expected number of visitors, the requirements of the management company and other factors. After completing the design assignment, we conduct detailed measurements of the premises, as well as an analysis of the structural and engineering features of the building.

Draft design
At this stage we carefully think through the interior design of each nook of the public space. We develop scenarios of light, select furniture, appropriate style, decor, materials and other key details. We create a 3D visualization of the interior and coordinate all the working points.

Working draft
Once we have decided and approved the visual part, we start to work on the working draft. This is a set of drawings that builders will use to implement the design of the project. Working on a working draft, we make lighting calculations to determine the amount of necessary lighting fixtures, and calculate the amount of necessary finishing materials.

Designer’s supervision
Repair and construction work is a dynamic process, during which unforeseen situations that could not be predicted at the stage of the design project arise. Therefore, the architectural studio ZIKZAK always deals with projects responsibly and see them through to completion.
