interior architecture

Indoor space planning

Interior architecture is the design of interior spaces with attention to structural elements—walls, ceilings, floors, stairs, and built-in features.

It bridges architecture and interior design, focusing on how spaces are shaped and divided rather than just decorated: The interior architecture features exposed beams and an open floor plan.

The term emphasizes spatial planning and permanent construction over furnishings.
