# Cheerful Contemporary Schools The Spring Learning Center by Joey Ho Design is Minimalist & Playful By Meghan Young | Published 2014-02-22 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spring-learning-center References: [fubiz.net](http://www.fubiz.net/en/2014/02/21/spring-learning-center-in-hong-kong/) & [joeyhodesign](http://www.joeyhodesign.com/) The [Spring Learning Center](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spring-dales-public-school) is a cheerful setting for children to develop their learning and social skills. Although the clean and contemporary space may seem more appropriate for adults at first, the [bright yellow and blue accents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marie-esther-pavilion) as well as cartoonish details immediately give it a youthful aesthetic that is undeniably geared towards a younger audience. Created by Joey Ho, a designer born in Taiwan, raised in Singapore and based in Hong Kong, the Spring Learning Center adheres to his statement, "Design is like making dessert, a recipe of feelings to make people happy." Bringing the outdoors inside, the Spring Learning Center boasts a [modern treehouse and swing sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/indoor-play-space). It also has a cooking area and simplified jungle gym to play in. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 58% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Minimalist Design:** Opportunity for businesses to incorporate minimalist design principles in various industries to create clean and contemporary spaces. - **Playful Aesthetics:** Opportunity for businesses to infuse youthful and cartoonish elements into their designs to attract a younger audience. - **Bringing the Outdoors Inside:** Opportunity for businesses to create innovative indoor spaces that mimic the experience of being in nature. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Interior Design:** Opportunity for interior design firms to specialize in minimalist and playful designs for schools and educational centers. - **Playground Equipment Manufacturing:** Opportunity for playground equipment manufacturers to develop simplified and modern jungle gyms and swings that complement minimalist design trends. - **Childcare and Early Education:** Opportunity for childcare centers and educational institutions to create unique indoor learning environments that blend the outdoors with playful aesthetics. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sustainable Colorful School designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wonderland-elementary-school.md) - [Vibrantly Designed Nursery Centers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multichildcare-crche.md) - [Playful International School Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/red-house-school-villalobos.md) - [Tent‑Filled Daycare Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deya-day-care.md) - [Town-Like Classroom Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kindergarten-of-museum.md) - [Playful Learning Villages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kinder-rain.md) - [Education Architecture Expansions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rainbow-international-school.md) - [Inclusive Learning Campuses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swan-hill-specialist-school.md) - [Blue-Toned School Makeovers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fuquiang-school.md)
