What we love

The tree of knowledge concept
A strong concept guides all the design elements of a project. The tree of knowledge, the source of all learning and a connection to mother nature.

Tree of knowledge

“The idea came to me almost immediately after starting to design the space. What better place for a symbolic tree than in a library.”

— Siobhan Donoghue

Ideas need space to grow.

We can help improve your classroom spaces, create mindful spaces or research the the classroom of the future so kids choose your school over any other. We have designed and consulted on school design projects in Victoria, Singapore and New York. School spaces need to evolve to accommodate children's needs.
