What does residential interior mean?
A residential interior is a spatial environment where humans live. It’s a sheltered framework where people eat, sleep, cleanse, play, work, relax and entertain. A residential environment could include detached houses, semi-detached houses, townhouses or multi-level dwellings e.g. flats, apartment complexes. Residential environments are pretty much everywhere; central and inner city locations, suburban environments and country settings.  The experience of residential living within a digital context is an emerging area of design and this course allows you to explore these areas.
