March Studio partnered with Nest Global and UNICEF to develop a mobile classroom that could serve as an educational sanctuary in refugee centers throughout Tijuana.
Through close collaboration with Nest Global - whose mission is to provide healing-centered education and childcare for children and families seeking refuge at the southern border - the vision was to establish a secure haven for families in need and to create an enriching experience for their little ones.
The school bus was transformed into a cozy, educational space for both parents and children, tailored for infants aged 0-3. March Studio created an adaptable mobile classroom that mirrored the essence and functionalities of each individual setting within Tijuana.
The design focused on optimizing the space and minimizing the need for loose furniture during transport. With the well-being of parents and children in mind, the installation of an AC unit and solar panels ensured a comfortable environment without relying on the engine for power. The exteriors' use of vibrant graphics yet soothing natural colors gave identity to the Mobile Nest, now affectionately named "Nest Centrito 32," as it traverses Tijuana.
