Harbour Early Learning | SJB

Nestled in the scenic harbourside suburb of Vaucluse, Harbour Early Learning is more than just an educational facility; it is a testament to innovative design seamlessly integrated with educational philosophy. This project extends beyond typical educational design norms, offering a bespoke environment that enhances children's identities, expands learning potentials, and fosters a sense of well-being among educators and students alike.

Our design strategy was meticulously developed to connect children with educators, nature, and the broader community. This connection is facilitated through the thoughtful layout of indoor and outdoor spaces across three levels, each offering immersive thematic experiences - the ground floor resonates with water elements like boats and seas, while the first floor draws inspiration from sky elements like sunsets and clouds. Each space is crafted to stimulate the imagination and enhance the learning experiences, deeply rooted in the natural beauty of the surrounding harbour.
