Education projects hold a significant place in our studio's work. We have successfully collaborated on numerous K-12 projects, including four Great Hearts schools and ten IDEA schools, along with work at educational institutions such as SAISD, Austin Achieve, and others.

For Great Hearts Western Hills, we collaborated with the design team through the initial stages of conceptualization to create a comprehensive solution for parking lot placement that prioritized both functionality and environmental consciousness by preserving existing trees. We also focused on maximizing the campus by creating a contiguous open space, connecting elements such as the sports field and playground layout to meet the needs of the institution. By leveraging our knowledge and experience in educational design, we strive to deliver spaces that provide functional, safe, and engaging environments.
