Curating thoughtful spaces that deliver the best learning outcomes!

Special Needs schools are dynamic spaces that need to accommodate a range of unique students. Often sensitive to sound and noise, environments for special needs students are vitally important to reduce overstimulation and feelings of being overwhelmed.

Calm, soft spaces with neutral and natural colour palettes that create a relaxed and homely feel provide the ideal environment and are facilitated through thoughtful material choices that reduce sound transfer and support students in transitioning between spaces.

The Inclusive Needs Classroom.
Zoning classrooms with well defined areas cues students to the activity that is to occur there, encouraging focus and assent. Creating small table pods that accommodate a couple of students to an educator favours collaboration and engagement. Moveable dividers can also assist to provide clarification, whilst allowing ample space between furniture.

The Breakout
Zone.
Special needs classrooms need breakout zones that allow room for unscripted play and informal learning. Comfortable reading nooks, private work spaces or bean bags in a quiet corner can all provide rest and respite from the bustle of the classroom and sanction time to refocus. Muted shades of blue, green and yellow are ideal to reduce apprehension and provide sanctuary.

The Sensory
Zone.
These unique rooms are designed to encourage students to engage with their surroundings by promoting sensory stimulation. Hands-on STEM activities, tactile textured surfaces, active seating for movement and sensory gardens are all of vital importance for children on the spectrum. Directly impacted by aesthetics including lighting and colour, touchable, durable materials provide a positive sensory experience.

The Multipurpose
Zone.
Parents who are often on site need a space to come together with their children and their educators. Round, intimate meeting tables allow for informative discussions whilst high benches permit social observation and experience. Informal spaces with natural tones and soft lighting allow students to transition into the space so they can focus and thrive.
