Project Story

Newark, NJ  |  674 SF

With the main goal to refresh their existing space to increase flexibility, adaptability and creativity that would promote independence and artistic growth, Visual Arts Teacher, Diana Fernandez, shared her winning vision for reimagined classroom. Together, we created a makerspace and studio classroom where creativity flows freely, where students can explore, experiment and bring their ideas to life without limitations. 

“At Park Elementary, we really value the arts. We’re so excited to see the beautiful art that evolves from having this beautiful space.”
