Education

Play-based learning for schools & learning centres.

At Leka Studio, we specialise in creating imaginative, high-quality environments that inspire connection, joy, and lifelong learning. We partner with schools — and with the architects and landscape studios who design them — to design and implement innovative play and social spaces that enhance student development, promote well-being, and create lasting memories.

Commitment to safety and sustainability

Safe, inclusive, eco-friendly — by default.

We understand the importance of creating safe, inclusive, and eco-friendly spaces. Our team adheres to international safety standards and incorporates sustainable practices to align with your school’s values and future goals.

Whether you’re looking to upgrade an existing space or build something new, we’re here to help. Let’s create an environment where students can grow, explore, and thrive every day.

Our services

What we deliver for schools & learning centres.

Five disciplines, one contract. From concept to long-term care, every stage of your school’s play and learning environment is in expert hands.

Creative learning space design

We design vibrant playgrounds, social hubs, and activity zones that inspire curiosity, teamwork, and active learning. Each space is tailored to a school's curriculum and culture, fostering both physical development and creative thinking. Our designs encourage safe exploration while supporting diverse learning styles and student age groups.

Turnkey project delivery

From initial concept to final installation, we manage every detail — engineering, production, sourcing, and on-site setup. Our team ensures each space is functional, durable, and tailored to school needs. We coordinate efficiently to minimise disruption, delivering safe, inspiring environments on time and within budget.

Safety & compliance assurance

We prioritise student safety, using high-quality, non-toxic materials and adhering to international playground safety standards. Regular inspections, preventive maintenance, and compliance checks ensure spaces remain safe, durable, and ready for daily use — protecting both students and the school's reputation for quality.

Enrichment & engagement features

Our designs integrate features that promote social interaction, creative play, and active learning. From sensory paths and climbing challenges to outdoor classrooms and art corners, each area supports holistic child development while encouraging students to learn, play, and build friendships in a safe and stimulating environment.

Ongoing partnership & support

We provide lifetime support through maintenance programs, upgrades, and seasonal refreshes. Our team offers guidance on play-based learning integration and staff facilitation, ensuring spaces continue to inspire. With our partnership, schools can keep their environments engaging, relevant, and aligned with evolving educational needs.

Solutions for Education

Specialist play zones, sourced and built end-to-end.

From whole-campus age zoning and inclusive design to certified surfacing, outdoor classrooms and our partner-led challenge and trampoline programmes — we specify, install and maintain each as a single contract, sized to your campus, age mix and supervision plan. Open a tile for the full brief, scope and engineering.

For architects & specifiers

Specifying play for a school or campus? We work the way your studio does.

Much of our work reaches the ground through the architects and landscape architects who design the schools and campuses it sits in. Here is what that partnership adds to your practice.

Schematic-phase design support

Brief us at concept or schematic stage and we send back layout options, 3D renders and a play-value rationale you can drop into a client presentation — free, with no obligation to buy.

BoQ-ready, bilingual specs

Each item arrives specified — dimensions, materials, safety zones, certifications — as drawing-ready line items in English and Thai, so your QS and your client read the same document.

Compliance evidence for your set

Play equipment certified to EN 1176, surfacing to EN 1177 / ASTM F1292, with critical-fall-height data sized to each structure — the documentation your specification and the site inspection need.

Factory-direct pricing

We manufacture and import directly, so the play budget buys specified-grade equipment at a transparent price — and tends to survive value engineering with the spec intact.

One accountable partner

Design support, supply, surfacing and installation under a single contract — so the outdoor-play scope does not fragment across your consultants and the main contractor’s trades.

Specified for the tropics

UV-stable, monsoon-drained and corrosion-rated for Southeast-Asian sites — so what leaves your drawings still performs and looks right after a few seasons on the ground.

Whether you’re designing a K-12 school, a university or campus building, an international school or an early-years or kindergarten setting, the play and outdoor-learning scope is the part we make drawing-ready.

Our approach

From concept to completion.

We take a holistic approach to recreation design, guiding you through every stage of development — from feasibility studies and conceptual planning to design, training, and ongoing support.
  1. 1

    Feasibility studies & site analysis

    Comprehensive feasibility — site evaluation, age-segment audit, budget forecasting, and master-plan options — before any concept is committed.

  2. 2

    Concept & design development

    Bespoke concept tailored to your school’s pedagogy and identity. Storytelling themes, smart layouts, sustainable materials, and age-zoning baked in.

  3. 3

    Training & operational support

    Teacher and operations training on supervision protocols, play-based learning integration, safety procedures, and seasonal programming.

  4. 4

    Ongoing maintenance

    Post-launch annual inspections, preventive maintenance, and refresh programmes that keep the space relevant and compliant for years.

  5. Step 05

    Fabrication

    Regional manufacturing of structures and surfacing.

  6. Step 06

    Phased install

Curriculum-aware. Climate-tested. Maintenance-conscious.

Age zoning that works

Early-years, primary and secondary zones with circulation buffers and clear sight-lines — the whole K–12 journey on one campus.

Monsoon-ready

Year-round drainage, marine-grade fixings, UV-stable polymers — designed for Bangkok's climate.

Phased delivery

Summer-break windows so academic term-time isn't disrupted.

Annual inspection

Education FAQ

What schools ask before engaging.

  • Do you align play spaces with curriculum?

    Yes — we work with the school's curriculum lead to ensure outdoor and play environments support EYFS, IB-PYP, US Common Core, or local equivalents. Sensory zones, gross-motor circuits, and quiet retreat areas are standard considerations.

  • What ages do you design for?

    Early Years (EYFS, ages 2–5) through to secondary and senior students. International campuses are K–12, so we zone the whole journey — infants, primary and teenagers — with circulation buffers and sight-lines so every age shares the campus safely. See our dedicated age-appropriate play zones solution for how we master-plan by stage.

  • Do you design for inclusive and accessible play?

    Yes — wheelchair access, sensory-inclusive equipment and quiet retreat zones are designed in from the first sketch, aligned to EN 1176 inclusive-play guidance and SEND best practice. We co-design with your SENCo and inclusion lead. See our inclusive & accessible play solution for detail.

  • How do you handle Bangkok's climate?

    Shade structures, marine-grade fixings, UV-stable polymers, and breeze-friendly layouts are baseline. We also design for year-round monsoon drainage.

  • Can the work be phased over multiple academic years?

    Yes. We commonly phase outdoor and sports works into summer-break windows so they don't disrupt term-time operations.
