Spaces that inspire learning, designed to grow

Services:
Kids&Us is one of the leading English academies for children, recognised for designing learning environments that stimulate education from an early age. Its educational model places strong emphasis on the experience of students and families, bringing its brand universe to life in each of its centres.

For over three years, HMY has supported Kids&Us in the development and evolution of its spaces, consolidating a partnership that now exceeds 200 projects, including new openings and refurbishment initiatives. Through this collaboration, we help ensure brand consistency across all locations, adapting each project to the specific needs of every site and delivering a homogeneous experience for students, families, and teaching teams.

When brand identity is built through every detail

One of the most relevant aspects of the project has been the ability to translate Kids&Us’ identity into the physical space through engineering and manufacturing solutions specifically developed for the brand. Multimaterial design has played a key role in this process, strategically combining materials and finishes to create environments that are both recognisable and aligned with its visual universe. A particularly distinctive feature is the use of lacquered wood and birch veneer, one of the brand’s signature elements, applied across multiple touchpoints, from furniture to architectural features such as doors.

In addition, the versatility of our production processes has allowed us to respond to specific project needs by incorporating tailor-made solutions across different materials. These include upholstery and textile works developed for waiting areas and children’s spaces, as well as distinctive elements such as poufs inspired by the Kids&Us logo shape, helping to create a more immersive and differentiated experience for students and families.

A close collaboration that turns every detail into experience

The relationship between Kids&Us and HMY has evolved into a highly coordinated partnership, where teams work closely together across all project phases. This synergy has enabled agile responses to the brand’s expansion needs while maintaining consistency and quality at every stage.

As part of this collaboration, bespoke solutions have extended beyond the physical space, incorporating branded gadgets. These include customised items such as pen holders and keyrings produced using 3D printing technology, reinforcing the brand experience and adding an extra layer of detail to students’ everyday environment.

A comprehensive support model for every opening

The expansion of Kids&Us in recent years has represented a significant challenge in terms of coordination and execution. During the first year of collaboration, we delivered more than 65 projects, increasing to 130 in the second year, and reaching an estimated 170 interventions this year, including new openings and refurbishment projects. To support this growth, the brand required a partner capable of providing end-to-end project support, ensuring agility, quality, and consistency across all centres.
