HELLO
Learning at Koda:
Growing, Innovating, Designing the Future.
We believe that great design starts with great minds, which is why continuous learning and growth are at the heart of everything we do at Koda.
From cutting-edge CPD and hands-on training to exploring the latest trends in school architecture and design, we’re committed to pushing boundaries and evolving as a team.
Whether it’s sharpening skills, discovering new approaches, or rethinking the way we design learning spaces, we invest in our people as much as we invest in our projects. Because at Koda, learning isn’t just something we design for schools—it’s something we live every day.
Leading the Future of School Design
Education is always evolving, and at Koda, we don’t just keep up—we lead the way.
Our approach goes beyond traditional school architecture. We apply the latest research in pedagogy, neuroscience, and behavioural design to create environments that genuinely enhance learning. Every space we design is grounded in evidence-based strategies that support creativity, well-being, and engagement.
Through workshops, collaborations, and continuous professional development, we work closely with educators, students, and industry experts to push the boundaries of what a school can be. Whether it’s redefining classroom layouts, integrating new technologies, or rethinking the role of learning spaces, we’re constantly asking: how can we design better schools for the future?
Co-Creating Schools with the People Who Use Them
Great school design isn’t just about architecture—it’s about the people who learn and teach in these spaces every day. At Koda, we run in-depth workshops with students, teachers, and school communities, ensuring that every learning environment is shaped by those who will use it.
Our collaborative approach ensures that each space is designed with purpose, reflecting the unique needs, aspirations, and learning styles of its users. From rethinking classroom layouts to designing and crafting bespoke furniture, our workshops empower schools to take an active role in shaping their own environments.
Through hands-on activities, prototyping, and expert-led discussions, we help schools create spaces that enhance learning, well-being, and engagement. Whether you’re planning a new build, refurbishment, or optimising existing spaces, our workshops provide the perfect platform to bring your vision to life. Let’s design the future of education—together.
Learning by Doing: Internships at Koda
At Koda, we believe the best way to learn is through real-world experience. That’s why we offer a dynamic internship programme, welcoming students from schools and universities across the world to immerse themselves in educational design.
Our interns work alongside our expert team, gaining hands-on experience in architecture, interior design, and space planning. From concept development to live projects, they see first-hand how thoughtful design transforms learning environments.
If you’re a school or university looking to connect students with industry experience, we’d love to collaborate. Get in touch to explore how we can help shape the next generation of designers, architects, and educators—together.
