The profession of interior design is separate and distinct from the role of interior decorator, a term commonly used in the past. The profession of interior design has been a consequence of the development of society and the complex architecture that has resulted from the development of industrial processes.
Interior design is the art and science of enhancing the interior of a building to achieve a healthier and more aesthetically pleasing environment for the people using the space.
The growing importance of interior design as an essential specialty in large projects has led Archivira to provide these services separately from architectural design services in an independent department since 2009.
Archivira Interior Design Department plans, researches, coordinates, and manages such enhancement projects. Interior design is a multifaceted profession that includes conceptual development, space planning, site inspections, programming, research, communicating with the stakeholders of a project, construction management, and execution of the design.
