From renders to reality… angled windows are a feature of this design at our Bethel Christian School Stage 1 project, currently under construction. They maximise key views from the learning spaces to the Church beyond, linking faith with learning.

Our recent project was an existing library space at Blessed Sacrament Clifton Gardens, transformed into a joyful, light-filled learning area where children would love to read and enjoy books with focus areas for groups coming together and intimate spaces for quiet time reading.

Just because they are functional, bathrooms don't need to be boring! Even on a budget school bathrooms can be designed to be functional & low maintenance at the same time as being beautiful, through thoughtful use of biophilic design elements - plants, patterns & natural light

"Would you like that as eat in or takeaway?" That's one of the questions VET Hospitality students ask their customers while working at the Vine Cafe, at Corpus Christi High School in Oak Flats. The Vine is the ‘place to be’ at the school, providing a community gathering space.

Research proves that sunlight exposure boosts energy, similar to drinking a cup of coffee but without caffeine. Sunlight exposure combined with fresh air in a workplace can help deepen focus, enhance performance and support circadian rhythms and wellbeing.

Many learners feel anxious at lunchtime, whether they are having a bad day, have an injury, or are neurodiverse and favour ‘nooks' over expansive playgrounds. We aim to create places for all. Here are some examples of how outdoor play spaces can cater for all types of learners.

Putting learning on display enables a deeper interaction between peers. We have a theory at Leaf Architecture - every surface should have a learning intent to empower our learners to communicate their ideas effectively and to enable their peers to critique.
