Learning Centres
Studio North designed these learning centres pro bono for 101 Heroes, a worldwide non-profit organization that believes in the power of education as a tool to uplift families living in poverty. Their mission is to build learning centres, where underprivileged families living in rural villages can access books, computers, and teaching aids. To date, Studio North has designed 3 learning centres, 2 of which are completed, and one of which is currently under construction.

Keyhole Learning Centre was designed as a playful “building block” to be plugged in amongst its neighbours, using elemental shapes and colours to enliven children's imagination. The coloured steel shutters are designed to shade light, provide security, and serve as storm shutters for the monsoon season. The front facade is inset to create an inhabitable garden space and staircase.
Colourful shutters cut direct sunlight and bring colour into the interior space.
