Mission
We design schools that change child’s life trajectory. School is the only real time machine. We give this journey a form with extraordinary educational spaces.
Approach
We don’t have clients. We have partners:
For years we have been communicating with amazing, passionate people on how to create the best school for their students. Or maybe even the best school in the world.
We listen carefully, we investigate to unpack the meaning of the brief. We are passionate about personalised, subject-driven architecture with rich, innovative infrastructure and content.
Each of our educational buildings is tailored to the school, its educational values and identity.
Approach in large
A bad school and a good one cost the same. So why build a bad one?
Every child deserves the best possible future. We design distinctive, extraordinary school buildings and kindergartens. Through architecture we lay down models of behaviour, psychological state, happiness and trust.
Even with a small budget. Even on the outskirts of the most modest town.
Our task is to understand the meaning behind the brief and to give that meaning the right form, one that fits exactly this school. No two children are the same, therefore no two schools should be designed the same.
We are climate diverse: we have learned how to build schools across different climate zones both in cold and hot countries like Russia and UAE.
We understand all about infrastructure: ergonomically right chairs and tables, innovative labs, professional performance equipment — we will make sure your school has equipment that will give students real-life experience.
First we research, then — we design
We find it important and useful to develop project concepts through research: analysing the cultural and social code of the location, measuring social expectations that architecture can respond to. We see the school as part of the urban context and of a person’s lifelong trajectory.
Who we are
We are a company with 300+ projects in portfolio realised throughout the years 2008–2026. We have offices in Dubai (United Arab Emirates) and in Almaty (Kazakhstan) with 70+ architects, designers, engineers and other experts, solving puzzles on a daily basis: how to unite building interior design, smart technologies and furniture with education and make it economically feasible.
Words and dreams need to be converted into the school space. Come up with the logic of its arrangement, educational innovations and projections of the future. Build the “social” gene into the DNA of the space without violating design standards.
