Read GuideLearn Sustainable Interior Design in Sai Kung
Master eco-friendly decor and sustainable materials through hands-on courses designed for aspiring and experienced designers.
We’re focused on teaching real design principles using materials that actually work — bamboo, reclaimed wood, cork, and certified sustainable fabrics. No greenwashing, just practical knowledge you can use immediately.
Why Our Courses Stand Out
Practical training that connects theory with real-world application.
Sustainable Material Expertise
Learn the properties, sourcing, and applications of eco-certified materials. We cover bamboo, cork, reclaimed wood, and organic fabrics in depth.
Design Principles for Small Spaces
Sai Kung homes are often compact. We teach space-maximizing techniques, color psychology, and functional layouts that work in tight quarters.
Hands-On Studio Sessions
We don’t just lecture. You’ll work with real materials, test finishes, and create mood boards in our studio. Mistakes happen here, not on client projects.
Low-VOC and Non-Toxic Finishes
Understand paint chemistry, sealants, and adhesives that don’t release harmful chemicals. Your clients will notice the air quality difference.
Build Your Foundation
Color Theory and Psychology
How colors affect mood and perception. We’ll explore palettes that work for different room types and client preferences.
Sourcing Sustainable Products
Where to find quality eco-friendly furniture and materials. We’ll share our supplier network and teach you how to verify certifications.
Budget Planning and Client Communication
How to create realistic timelines and budgets. Honest conversations with clients about sustainable options prevent misunderstandings.
Master Advanced Techniques
Energy-Efficient Lighting Design
LED technology, natural light optimization, and smart controls. Good lighting design reduces energy use without sacrificing aesthetics.
Upcycling and Material Innovation
Transform old pieces into stunning focal points. Learn restoration techniques and when upcycling makes sense versus starting fresh.
Project Management and Documentation
From concept sketches to final presentations. We teach the systems that keep projects on track and clients happy.
Our Journey
From passion project to established design school in Sai Kung.
2019
Founded
Started as a small workshop space teaching sustainable design to friends and neighbors. We believed eco-friendly design shouldn’t be expensive or complicated.
2021
Expanded Studio
Moved to a larger space in Sai Kung with proper studio facilities. Added hands-on material labs and began offering structured certificate programs.
2023
Industry Recognition
Our graduates started winning local design competitions. Local architects and developers began recommending our courses to their teams.
2026
Today
We’ve trained over 300 designers. We’re still small enough to know every student by name, but established enough to offer real career opportunities.
By The Numbers
What our courses have achieved since 2019.
Our Manifesto
We believe sustainable interior design isn’t a trend — it’s a responsibility. Every material choice has environmental impact, and designers have power to shape that impact positively.
We don’t sell solutions. We teach thinking. Our students learn to ask the right questions: Where did this material come from? How long will it last? What happens when it’s no longer needed? Can we do this better?
Sustainability shouldn’t mean compromise on beauty, functionality, or budget. We prove every day that thoughtful design creates spaces people love living in — spaces that are healthier, more durable, and kinder to the planet.
Sai Kung is home. We’re invested in this community and the designers shaping its future. That’s why we’re here, teaching, learning, and pushing the boundaries of what sustainable design can be.
