The Studio Heart of START Bangkok
START Lab is where everything comes together — a shared studio environment built for thinking, making, and conversation. Open-plan and light-filled, it’s the centre of START’s learning culture: part workspace, part classroom, part exhibition floor. Here, students work alongside mentors in an open studio that encourages conversation, experimentation, and the kind of practice that builds real creative confidence.
Studio Culture
START Lab is designed for active learning. Tables move, walls fill with sketches, and projects evolve through direct feedback. Students learn to discuss their work, challenge ideas, and develop professional habits that prepare them for university studios and creative practice beyond.
