Designing New Life for Existing Spaces

We are pleased to present the Interior Design MA Diploma Catalogue 2026 of the University of Pécs, showcasing the final projects of our graduating students.
This year's diploma projects focus on the adaptive reuse of existing spaces within the Zsolnay Cultural Quarter in Pécs. Responding to contemporary challenges in architecture and interior design, the students explored how heritage buildings can be transformed into sustainable, functional, and inspiring environments through thoughtful design interventions.
The projects reflect the program's commitment to sustainability, innovation, and human-centred design, demonstrating how interior architecture can connect the past with the future while creating meaningful spaces for new communities and activities.
We invite you to discover the creative visions and design proposals of our graduating students in the catalogue below.
