The Outschool by Studio Infinity
The Out School, a groundbreaking project that breathes new life into the concept of learning environments. This visionary space transforms an old, dilapidated house into a vibrant sanctuary designed to inspire curiosity and creativity. Commissioned by two dynamic women looking to expand their small educational venture, this transformation challenges conventional design norms and embraces an ethos of exploration.
From the outset, Studio Infinity faced the unique challenge of working within the constraints of the existing structure, featuring an unconventional column-beam grid and budget limitations. The result? An open, multifunctional environment that invites learners to engage in a variety of activities that spark their imagination.
As you step inside, a central corridor guides you through a series of classrooms connected to a lively common activity hall, adorned with whimsical arches and a spectrum of colors. Every corner of The Out School is designed to ignite wonder, creating a dynamic space that evolves with the needs of its users.
Outdoor learning is celebrated here, with a spacious front area perfect for gatherings and playful exploration. Narrow side openings invite nature into the learning experience, allowing students to discover and learn beyond the confines of traditional walls. A flexible rear space adapts to innovative teaching methods, fostering creativity and collaboration.
The material palette embraces earthy tones with cement floors, vibrant ceramic mosaics, and warm wooden accents, creating an inviting atmosphere that resonates with the natural world. Bold colors and textures enrich the environment, making it a nurturing space for growth and discovery.
The Out School stands as a beacon of innovative design, offering a fresh perspective on learning environments. Here, imagination and innovation converge, setting a new standard that nurtures curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong love of exploration. Welcome to a space where every child’s potential is celebrated and unleashed!
