EDUCATION ARCHITECTS
We provide Guidance, Design, Documentation and Visualisations for your project.
Education and Early Learning / Childcare Architects
We are experienced education, early learning and childcare architects that have delivered a substantial range of facilities across NSW. We’re architects that understand the NSW SEPP Education and Care Guidelines, NSW Department of Education licencing requirements, and the planning constraints associated with obtaining relevant approvals with local Councils. Your project will be handled by an experienced team from the very beginning that is able to translate and interpret your brief, the site, and surrounding context.
A place for learning and discovery
We believe that great design has the power to influence and improve education. Our passion lies in creating learning environments that are functional, stimulating, practical, and deeply inspiring. We invest significant time in research and development, continually refining design strategies and delivery techniques to harness and embed learning principles that are conducive within a built environment.
Our educational buildings aim to be inclusive for all, with an emphasis on facilitating and promoting effective learning.
Design Principles That Guide Us
Biophilic design & evolving pedagogies
We aim to integrate stimulating indoor and outdoor areas that promote wellbeing, sustainability, and a sense of calm within the learning environment. Education is constantly changing, and so are the spatial requirements that support it. Our team is committed to designing environments that can be flexible for adapting to future needs so that each facility can evolve alongside new teaching methods and technologies.

Education Architecture
Wellbeing + Biophilic Design
our process.
Our process is flexible that adapts, evolves and responds to your needs. It is the streamlined result of past experience in designing buildings for our clients.
01
Planning
We set priorities, investigate, gather information, and understand the brief that will inform a tailored service. You will have a better understanding of the process for your project and what it will cost to prepare documents for approval.
02
Design
Once we are approved to proceed, we test your brief against information gathered, planning controls and work up a design solution for you. This process involves close communication between you and our creative team. We begin by creating a concept design for your review and feedback.
03
Collaborate
There are many things that make up a building, so collaboration plays an important aspect of any project.
Working with other expert consultants so that input are considered and we all work towards the same goal.
04
Visualisations
3D / Virtual Reality
With technology moving very fast we can prepare traditional physical models to visualisations or 3d renderings to help you visualise the design before it gets built. This can reduce delays and save money for changes if they were incurred otherwise during construction.
05
Develop
With the schematic design approved by the client, the team fine tunes, add notes and content to the drawings and documentation for sign-off prior to submission.
06
Approvals
All the documentation are gathered and submitted for assessment. We can monitor on the progress of the application and if required, assist with providing additional information or address council questions regarding the design.
