HKS

Practicing worldwide across healthcare, early learning, and wellness environments, HKS pairs glass upper volumes cantilevered over solid stone bases with interior spaces organized around aligned radial geometries and adaptable modular layouts. The portfolio provides a strong reference when detailing wellness reception lobbies that mirror ceiling coves in stone flooring or when planning flexible classroom environments beneath expressive structural massing.

Bright primary school classroom interior with hexagonal wooden tables, light blue accent walls, and glazed canopy roof by HKS for St Margaret Clitherow Catholic Primary School.

St Margaret Clitherow Catholic Primary School

An interior school precedent demonstrating how clustered modular furniture, vibrant accent walls, and abundant overhead glazing create a flexible, luminous early-learning environment.

What we like about this project
Modular hexagonal tables can be reconfigured into various shapes or combined into larger collaborative groups.

Geometry
Open-plan rectangular learning space organized with clustered hexagonal tables and perimeter storage units, leading to a glazed canopy-covered zone on the right.
Facade system
Full-height aluminum-framed glazed curtain wall with overhead sloped structural glass canopy.
Structural guess
Steel frame with lightweight partitioning and glazed roof canopy.
Spatial scale
Child-scaled furniture and low storage units within a standard institutional room height.
Lighting
Bright, even artificial illumination from ceiling-mounted flat panels complemented by abundant daylight streaming through full-height perimeter glazing and a sloped glass roof.
Atmosphere
Optimistic, clean, and active, filled with diffused daylight and primary-color accents.
Environmental context
Indoor educational facility with an exterior playground visible through large glass doors and sloped glazing.
Spatial experience
The space feels open, bright, and functionally zoned for collaborative early-years learning, with clear sightlines across flexible furniture arrangements.
Composition rhythm
Repeating wooden chair frames and hexagonal table clusters create an organic rhythm across the light grey resilient floor.
