Schools are a fundamental part of any healthy and thriving community, serving as important civic spaces for social and educational exchange.
Beyond the Classroom
Apex Studios’ main objective is to meet the demands of the ever-evolving modern education. We believe it’s crucial that Schools and Childcare Centres are designed to facilitate optimal learning and teaching outcomes. Numerous studies have demonstrated that factors such as air quality, ventilation, natural lighting, thermal comfort, and acoustic performance can have a
profound impact on the well-being of teachers, as well as on the attentiveness, attendance, and overall academic performance of students in educational settings.
Therefore, Landscape Designers play a key role in promoting and providing children and teens with the 21st-century skills required for success in an increasingly globalised and dynamic world.
Apex Studios’ designs are aligned with the “Education SEPP Design Quality principles” outlined by the Government Architect NSW (GANSW). This assures that the spaces we create are not only functional and aesthetically pleasing, but also promote the development of key skills such as creativity, communication, collaboration, and critical thinking.
“Our students compete on a global stage and they need new skills to prepare them for further study and jobs – many of which have not yet been created. They need skills we call the 4Cs: creativity, communication, collaboration and critical thinking.”

A Guide to How Apex Studios’ Landscape Design Can Transform Schools and Childcare Centres.
We are thrilled to offer you our step-by-step guide to developing the necessary Landscape Design for your next school or childcare project to succeed. Our team of dedicated experts is devoted to providing you with a personalised service that meets your specific needs, and preferences.
Our process begins with an initial design consultation with the client. Each educational facility is unique, and has its own set of requirements, which is why we work diligently to tailor our approach to meet the specific needs of each client.
Through this process, we can determine the most appropriate design solutions that are functional, sustainable, and aesthetically pleasing. In addition to considering the client’s goals, and preferences, we also take into account any possible site constraints that may affect the design of the project. Factors such as site topography, accessibility, soil conditions, environmental regulations, and other site-specific considerations can have a significant impact on the design outcome.
Once we have gathered all the necessary information, we begin the design process, creating a preliminary design that outlines the overall concept for the project. We pride ourselves on our ability to balance the practical needs of space with creative design solutions that make the space unique.
After completion, design approval from the client, community, and childcare or school is a crucial step in the process. It provides us with the opportunity to continually liaise with the client to bring their vision to life.
Finally, once the design has been approved, our team works to deliver the project on time, on budget, and to the highest standards of quality. We believe that close collaboration between our team, and our clients is essential to delivering successful projects that meet our client’s needs, and exceed their expectations.
