48-Pyeong Study Center Interior in Gangnam
Warm curves and lighting design
Hello, I'm Goodterior designer Ham Young-ju :)
Today's project is a 48-pyeong study center interior in Gangnam.
The client wanted a warm, cozy space where students could stay comfortably and concentrate, instead of the cold, formal atmosphere often associated with study centers.
Soft cream and ivory tones throughout combine with gentle curves in place of rigid straight lines to bring flexibility to the interior.
Lighting centered on subtle indirect illumination helps reduce eye strain and support concentration, completing a calming atmosphere.
Shall we explore the transformation together?

Floor plan
- Focused Study Area
This main study area occupies the largest portion of the interior. Tall partitions at every seat let students concentrate fully without disturbance.
Individual lights reduce eye strain at each seat, while soft general lighting creates a calm atmosphere. - Lobby and Circulation
The lobby immediately inside the entrance is spacious and open to avoid overlapping routes, naturally guiding visitors toward the study areas. - Rest and Group Areas
A comfortable rest area lets students take a short break or enjoy light refreshments.
A separate group area accommodates shared use and flexible study sessions. - Convenience Area
Lockers near the entrance provide convenient storage for heavy belongings, keeping essentials organized and allowing students to move around lightly.
With each function arranged, shall we explore the design concept that gives the space its atmosphere?

Notes
This study center project in Gangnam began with a request for a warm, comfortable place that invites longer stays, rather than a formal academy-like atmosphere.
Soft curves throughout and comfortable indirect and linear lighting create a cozy, refined setting.
Glass partitions open up views to reduce enclosure, while carefully applied translucent film supports full concentration.
We're proud of this special study center where students can arrive feeling relaxed and focus on learning.
Please leave an inquiry if you have any questions. We'll be happy to help :)
