Renai Art Lab

Classroom Renovation for MisoSoupDesign

The design concept of Renai Art Lab revolves around the idea of curves, graceful, fluid lines that evoke a sense of movement and energy. The large curved wall mimic the organic shapes found in nature, providing comfort and flexibility for students to work in various positions and angles. At the heart of the studio, a large whiteboard stretches across one wall, waiting to be transformed into a masterpiece. The canvas itself curves gently, mirroring the fluid lines of the furniture and accentuating the sense of movement and dynamism in the space.

Unique Properties

The space is mainly divided into a stage area and a teacher teaching area, so that students are no longer just passive participants in class, but also the focus on the stage. The space behind the stage can be used for multiple functions, with a vibrant yellow color as background. In addition to providing storage function, it can also be used as a space for children to explore and read. The teacher's teaching area uses brick red paint as the base to stimulate students' enthusiasm for learning and enhance creativity.
