The vision for the school was to create classroom spaces that were flexible, the Learning Resource Centre which would become the ‘heart’ of the school and also to maximise storage space wherever possible. The classroom desks and chairs needed to be easily rearranged by the students.
Working alongside WW Martin and Folkestone Academy, Zioxi provided an imaginative and exciting furniture solution for the whole school. Zioxi developed an impressive bespoke fixed storage solution to incorporate the curved walls whilst maximising space for storage.
With it’s granite counters, sleek white tables and chrome-framed chairs, the multi-coloured skylight communal dining area looks and feels nothing like a school. And that’s the point – the beautifully designed spaces and high quality furniture makes both students and staff feel respected and valued.
The brief was to create a space that was bright and welcoming with lots of places for the students to work. To make the best use of space, bespoke benching was made around the pillars and along the edges for individual working. In the collaborative working area interlocking tables make the area really flexible, allowing different table configurations and layouts.
The brief was to create learning areas that were fun and exciting which the children would want to use. Zioxi worked closely with Denbigh Primary to develop a furniture proposal which met all of the School’s needs. The Learning Resource Centre space which has recently been renamed as ‘The Hive’ has a large curvy Bookworm shelving unit dividing the space in two.
St Teresa’s Primary School visited the Microsoft Showcase space in London, the School came back inspired and full of ideas on what they would like to achieve in their own high tech spaces. Being multi-functional, adaptable and engaging were the key points to making these spaces work.
Duston Eldean Primary School asked Zioxi to design an open plan learning space within their large LRC. The brief for the space was to create an area which was flexible and which included differing types of furniture. The school was keen to let the children choose how and where they would like to work.
Southwark Council has three One Stop Shops in its borough. The drop-in centres provide advice, information and help for anyone living, working or visiting Southwark. As unique venues the furniture needed to be designed for the specific requirements of the centres and their varying architecture.
