Point, line, plane and volume are among the primary elements. These four serve as the catalyst to a properly designed space. The below images are used to further break down the fundamentals for each element.
Point
Indicates a position in space.
Based on what we see here, in prospective, each line, plane and object can be traced back to a point somewhere in space. Each line here is visibly reseeding back to the point highlighted below. Points are used to define a space.

Line
A representation of length, direction and position
The lines in the above image shows length, depth and direction. Each element in the space that forms a line provides a barrier for the thing it amasses. it defines the area, which in this case would be the windows, ceiling and floor. Lines can also be found in the shapes that define the furniture.
A line is used here to further highlight the element of line.
Plane
Used to depict length, width, shape, surface, orientation and position.
Plane Defines the interior and exterior space. Planes have shape or contour and are usually in 2D. They can be solid or implied, curvilinear or angled.
The space below is full of planar elements. The space is surrounded bu glass and windows, which defines the interior and exterior space. The openness gives the space light and aids in the aesthetics of the decor.
Volume Shows length, width and depth. It represents the form and space as well as surface, orientation and even position.
Volume is seen as 3 dimensional in space and is either contained by wall, floor and ceiling planes. The main identifying characteristics of volume is form.The shapes and interrelationships of the planes describe the boundaries of volume.
The room below has several different examples of volume. Highlighted below is an example of a 3 dimensional object contained with in the space.
While there are an abundance of principles and elements in the process of design, point, line, plane and volume are among the major elements. What are some of your favorite Elements of design?
I really love the pictures you chose as examples. They are all of very interesting interior spaces and not just the most obvious one relating to the element.
