Interior Design

Rische Group's comprehensive education design solutions form the foundation of successful school, college, and university projects. Our expert team leverages industry-leading software including CAD, SketchUp, and advanced 3D rendering tools to create educational spaces that are both visually inspiring and pedagogically effective for modern learning experiences.

What We Deliver

For education property managers and governing bodies, we provide strategic design solutions that maximise institutional value and functionality, creating flexible learning layouts that support diverse teaching methodologies while optimising space
efficiency.
For consultants and project managers, we offer technical education design expertise that complements your existing specifications, delivering precise documentation and visualisations that ensure smooth implementation of your facility vision while
maintaining compliance with educational regulations.
For schools, colleges and universities, we create bespoke design solutions that perfectly align with your pedagogical requirements, institutional values, and student journey strategies, transforming how your educational services are delivered and experienced.

Our comprehensive education design process includes initial institutional consultation and brief development, learning space planning excellence, detailed visualisation and concept development, technical design documentation, and specialist design services covering institutional identity, acoustic treatments for optimal learning, lighting schemes for concentration, furniture specification for flexibility, and facility accessibility.

Our Approach

We begin by thoroughly understanding each client's specific educational objectives—whether that's maximising facility potential, implementing technical specifications efficiently, or creating a learning environment that enhances student
engagement and supports educational outcome

For education trusts, we focus on flexible designs with broad pedagogical appeal and future adaptability. For consultants, we emphasise technical accuracy and buildability in educational environments. For institutions, we prioritise student experience and teaching efficiency within the learning environment.

Throughout the process, we provide implementation support including education specification packages, value engineering workshops, site inspections, and design adaptations responding to changing curriculum requirements.

What sets our education design solutions apart is the powerful combination of cutting-edge technology and human creativity applied specifically to learning environments. Our CAD expertise produces precise technical drawings of school and university layouts, our SketchUp proficiency creates intuitive 3D spatial models of educational interiors, and our advanced rendering capabilities deliver photorealistic visuals showing exactly how facilities will look upon completion. This design-to-build approach ensures that what we design can be built within budget and timeline,
regardless of whether we're working on a new school building, an operating university facility, or anything in between.
