Education First

Education First, a global leader in education and cultural exchange, partnered with Studio DB to support their expansion in New Zealand with a vibrant new workspace in Auckland’s CBD. More than a standard fit-out, Studio DB collaborated with the landlord and coordinated stakeholders to deliver a seamless, end-to-end design and delivery solution. The result is a dynamic space that reflects Education First’s global vision and supports their mission to inspire and engage learners.

From initial concept to completion and every step in between, our approach for Education First focused on precision, alignment with the client’s global vision, and a commitment to delivering a space that supports both function and inspiration. Collaborating closely with Education First’s global design team, we brought their vision to life while ensuring the project was delivered on time, on budget, and with seamless coordination across all disciplines.

Located in the heart of Auckland’s central business district, the space serves as a hub for connection, learning, and cultural exchange. It reflects Education First’s core values of innovation, exploration, and academic excellence, creating a purpose-built environment for staff, students, and visiting educators.

Designed to meet the evolving needs of a modern education provider, the workspace encourages flexibility, collaboration, and global engagement. Sustainability was a key consideration, with thoughtful material selection and the reuse of furnishings where possible, demonstrating a shared commitment to environmentally responsible design.
