Casava is a multi-disciplinary design firm that creates Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and Pikler-Lóczy aligned spaces that encourage independent and natural growth. We work with families, educators, and caretakers who share our belief in giving children places where they are free to explore and build a love for learning.
Multi-disciplinary design firm creating Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and Pikler-Lóczy aligned spaces.
We observe environments from the child's perspective so we can see those small details that adults overlook that make a big impact on their experience.
Flexible, multifunctional spaces that evolve to challenge children at each stage of ability and development.
Harnessing children's innate affinity towards natural materials and authentic outdoor experiences.
Support agency for children to independently pursue learning and growth without adult intervention.
Layouts, furniture, and materials selected for development benefits—aesthetics in service of outcomes.
Placing emphasis on select materials and activities by removing sensory, cognitive, and emotional distractions.
Designs that address every dimension of a space—from lighting and acoustics to materials and layout.
Children require more than good aesthetics and decoration, their spaces must also meet their sensory, social, and emotional needs.
Furnishings, fixtures, and spatial dimensions proportioned specifically for children's bodies and developmental needs. This creates physically comfortable and accessible environments where children can operate independently and confidently.
Thoughtful engagement of all senses through varied textures, sounds, visual elements, and experiences that stimulate neural pathways and provide rich information about the world.
Color palettes, managed acoustics, reduced visual clutter, and thoughtful material display that support harmony, well-being, and concentration. Calm environments help children learn how to focus without overstimulation.
Unobstructed spatial arrangements, pathways, and sightlines that encourage free, unrestricted movement and exploration safely and without conflict.
Spaces that facilitate meaningful connections between children and their peers, families, and educators. These environments foster collaboration and belonging, recognizing that learning thrives within nurturing relationships and shared experiences.
Clear arrangement of materials and spaces with consistent visual cues and logical placement help children understand where things belong, clean up after themselves, and develop respect for their environment.
