From campus to classroom, we look beyond the bricks-and-mortar, to see how culture, identity and educational ethos can shape great school design.

Whether we’re asked to develop new facilities, or modernise an existing campus, our approach focuses on three essential aspects of successful school design:

  • Insight into the needs and priorities of key stakeholders - children, staff, and parents alike.

  • Design options that support high level strategic objectives and fulfil a business case.

  • Crafting a vision for change that is sensitive to the unique history, character, and context of each school.

Architecture plays a critical role in every school, impacting both operation and reputation.
