A safe, challenging and inspiring learning environment
Panta Rhei is a school for children with special needs. Panta Rhei provides a safe and challenging environment with personalised support while focusing on the child's potential. Panta Rhei ensures that the pupils feel at home, develop self-confidence and discover their talents.
Presikhaaf School Furniture was asked by Panta Rhei to refurnish their main hallway and create a safe and challenging learning environment and meeting place for children, teachers and parents. An environment where everyone feels at home and appreciated.
The main hallway, which also serves as a study plaza, features a number of atmosphere-enhancing furniture elements such as the tailormade mobile gable houses and planters that further strengthen the connection with the outdoor environment by introducing a piece of nature to the interior.
The corner seats are designed in such a way that the pupils can use them individually or in groups. These seats are also ideal for one-to-one conversations between pupils and teachers or for pupils to relax and read a book, for example.
In addition to being able to work on a project as a group, the children can also find a place of their own in one the unique gable houses or snugly in a corner on one of the coach seats. Ideal spots for pupils to withdraw from the hustle and bustle for a while.
The gable houses also provide a safe environment where a one-to-one conversation between a teacher and pupil, colleague or parent can take place. Every seating arrangement and planter is mobile to enable the main hallway furnishings to be quickly converted for other activities during the school year, which is something that the education furnishing specialist from Presikhaaf School Furniture also helped with.
The interior provides space for children to receive instructions in a fun setting or to follow digital instructions together on the E-screen. The use of round, colourful and comfortable sofas around the E-screen, combined with student desk and chair arrangements is what makes this furnished seating area so dynamic.
As a result, the pupils undergo positive learning experiences within a group setting and enjoy moments where everyone can further express themselves and develop their talents.
