When the private online high school group Valenture Institute launched their online learning environment they were looking to create a space where children could feel comfortable and transition easily from at-home learning to a space dedicated to online learning . With a plan in hand Valenture approached Trend Group to bring this idea to life .
Trend has inspired the designs of many companies that are leaders in their respective fields , from creative , fun environments for companies like Facebook , WeWork , Uber and Google to more focused environments for the likes of Bidvest , Liberty , Allan Gray and Coronation Fund .
Trend is showing that being able to adapt to the clients needs , they can create flexible solutions that are unique to each space .
The Trend team partnered with Valenture for this inspiring project and created a flagship campus that is turning heads in both Johannesburg and Cape Town . Jessica Flagg , the lead designer on the Valenture project , explains how she created an innovative learning environment :
Design Inspiration Valenture has an amazing and unique online learning environment , so it was important that their boutique campus mimicked this . The idea behind the design for Valenture was to create a warm , inviting and exciting space that reflects the engaging and youthful nature of the Institute and its students as well as supporting the different way in which the students learn .
