In this design project of the interior for the educational cluster, we tried to create a sufficiently illuminated and light educational space. Thus, smoothed forms were taken as a basis, and natural, concrete, glass were chosen as materials. The color decision was made on the basis of the positive effect of blue on the cognitive and psycho-emotional abilities of students, the chosen color scheme also recalling the HSE identity style.
