This project reimagines a traditional residential house as an educational-themed Airbnb, blending hospitality with intellectual enrichment. Designed to foster learning and curiosity, the space features thoughtfully curated elements, including mini libraries, study nooks, and hands-on activity zones. Each room is themed around a specific subject, such as history, science, or art, offering an interactive and immersive experience for guests of all ages.

The decor integrates local culture and heritage, with handcrafted furniture, traditional motifs, and educational materials that reflect the region’s identity. Collaborative spaces encourage knowledge sharing and creative exploration, while private nooks provide areas for quiet study or reflection. Sustainability is a core principle, with eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient systems woven into the design.

This innovative project transforms the concept of traditional lodging by merging education with accommodation. It provides guests with more than just a place to stay—a space to learn, grow, and connect with the community’s heritage and culture.
