The thesis focuses on the interior of the Slovak Design Center as part of a new cultural and social center in the former Hurban Barracks in Bratislava. The design addresses the layout of three above-ground floors to house all functions of the Slovak Design Center in one building. The spaces include galleries and museums, a design library, a café, a research and development department, a multifunctional room, a cinema hall, and administrative spaces. Additionally, the logical interconnection of these spaces is emphasized to ensure that movement through the design center is systematic, intuitive, and barrier-free.

The barracks are being repurposed into a cultural center through adaptive reuse while preserving the original character of the building and respectfully adapting it to a new purpose. The goal was to create a harmonious link between the original architecture and its new function.

The architecture has served military purposes since the second half of the 19th century. Original architectural elements such as the three wings that divide the building, vaulted ceilings, window arrangement, and the original terrazzo floor are preserved. The utilitarian military character of the spaces is supported by intentionally austere and cool color schemes. This allows the exhibits, representing all branches of design, to stand out with their colors and diverse materials. The exhibited items, contrasted with the military space, thus attract visitors' attention.

The color scheme is derived from the uniforms of Austro-Hungarian soldiers as an indirect reference to the past. Each color guides the visitor through the space – yellow indicates changing rooms and meeting points, turquoise designates gallery and museum spaces with corresponding vertical communications, dark blue indicates the library with its communications, light blue denotes administrative spaces, and red marks the café. The system also includes terrazzo flooring in communication areas and ceramic tiles indicating social facilities.

Selected parts of the design center were visualized, such as the main reception, internal communications, the café, and the library with the material library.
