  • The “Furniture Tetris”: You move pieces around by intuition, hoping they fit, but it never feels “right”
  • The Confidence Gap: You can’t justify your choices to a client or a contractor
  • The Flow Issue: Your rooms look good but feel cramped or awkward to live in

Stop guessing, start structuring. Master the professional method to design high-performance floor plans. Learn to optimize room flow and spatial harmony for upscale residential projects that stand out.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the Spatial Design Certification.

What is the difference between Interior Decoration and Spatial Design?

Decoration focuses on aesthetics (olors, fabrics, materials and furniture…). Spatial Design (Space Planning) is the architectural DNA of a project. It’s the science of flow, volume proportions, and structural logic. This certification teaches you how to “engineer” a floor plan before you even think about the decor.

I am a career changer with no architectural background. Is this course for me?

Absolutely. Myriam’s method was specifically created for career transitions. We don’t assume you have prior technical knowledge; we provide the structured system and the “French Method” to take you from intuition to professional certainty.

Do I need to master specific 2D/3D software to take this certification?

This course focuses on Spatial Logic and Strategy, which are independent of any specific tool. Whether you draw by hand or use software like AutoCAD, SketchUp, or Revit, the principles of architectural flow remain the same. We teach you how to think; the software is just your pen.

Is the Alna Design® Method recognized internationally?

Yes. While the method is rooted in French Excellence and Myriam’s 20 years of state-recognized expertise, the principles of high-end residential flow are universal. This certification provides professional credentials to lead prestigious projects worldwide.

How long does it take to complete the certification?

The course is self-paced with lifetime access. Depending on your schedule, you can complete the curriculum in a few weeks of intensive study or spread it over several months. Our “Zero Fluff Policy” ensures every hour spent is high-impact.
