This is the first space students and parents enter—a welcoming area for enquiries, counselling, and onboarding. It’s here that doubts turn into decisions and curiosity turns into commitment.

The name “Catalyst” comes from cinema—where it marks the moment a story begins to change. Likewise, this room sparks the student’s creative journey.

Students receive personal guidance, understand the course structure, and experience the Gurukula atmosphere before beginning their creative path. Catalyst is not just an office—it’s the moment where transformation begins.

This is where mentors—Abin Alex, Anu Joseph, and the academic team—spend their time reviewing student progress, shaping learning plans, and staying connected with each learner.

It’s not just an office. It’s a listening space, a planning table, and a reflection zone. From guiding portfolios to solving daily challenges, the Admin Room keeps the academic rhythm in flow.

Being a Gurukula campus, this space reflects personal care. With mentors living on-site, students receive timely support—both academic and emotional—whenever they need it.

The Lecture Theater is where classroom learning meets real-world tools. It's equipped for theory sessions, digital presentations, and post-production training—all under one roof.

Alongside academic lectures, this space houses our Tech Lab—where students edit photos, craft films, and master software like Adobe Suite, DaVinci Resolve, and AI-based visual tools.

Whether it’s analysing a visual campaign or building a creative portfolio, this classroom is where concepts become action—and every learner is encouraged to think, critique, and create.

This is the heart of hands-on training in photography. At Phos Studio, students explore portrait setups, product shoots, still life composition, and lighting techniques—using both natural and artificial light.

It’s a flexible space equipped with backdrops, reflectors, softboxes, and modifiers—allowing learners to experiment with shadows, highlights, contrast, and creative exposure.

The word “Phos” comes from the Greek word for light. True to its name, this studio helps students master the grammar of light—an essential part of becoming a visual communicator.

The Film Studio is where students conceptualize, storyboard, shoot, and edit short films. It brings together the creative and technical processes, from script to screen, in a fully equipped space.

Equipped with a green screen setup, studio lights, gimbals, and audio tools, it gives learners the freedom to build any visual world—from real to surreal.

Whether it’s creating political messages, brand stories, or social commentaries, the Film Studio nurtures the art of storytelling—with purpose, technique, and creativity.

Will soon enable students to explore voice, sound, and storytelling

The Recording Studio is currently under maintenance and will soon become a dedicated space for voiceovers, dubbing, podcast creation, and sound design.

Once complete, every student will get the opportunity to work with industry-relevant tools and techniques—bringing sound-based narratives to life.

From film background scores to personal audio projects, the studio will help learners build essential audio communication skills as part of their creative journey.

Get ready for the shoot with style, identity, and expression

The Green Room is where transformation begins—physically and creatively. Before stepping into the studio or film set, students prepare themselves and their models with makeup, costume, and styling essentials.

Whether it’s a fashion shoot, portrait session, or cinematic production, this space allows learners to explore visual identity, character design, and self-expression through appearance.

Equipped with mirrors, lights, costume storage, and styling tools, the Green Room teaches students how aesthetics support narrative and mood.

Secure storage for student cameras, lenses, and accessories

Unlike traditional film development spaces, the Dark Room at Creative Hut serves as a secure vault for personally owned student gear—including DSLR and mirrorless cameras, lenses, memory cards, tripods, and accessories.

Students deposit their equipment here at the end of each day. The room is monitored and organized to ensure safety, reduce clutter in living areas, and promote a professional workflow.

This space cultivates a sense of discipline and responsibility—reminding students to treat their tools with respect, care, and consistency, just like in a professional production environment.

Organized access to lights, gimbals, drones, and studio gear

The Gear Room is Creative Hut’s master inventory of professional-grade visual equipment. It houses a comprehensive collection of tools including studio lights, gimbals, drones, live streaming kits, audio gear, tripods, modifiers, stands, and photography props.

Each piece of gear is maintained and catalogued for daily academic use. Students check out the equipment under supervision—ensuring accountability, care, and hands-on learning.

From multi-light setups for portrait sessions to gimbal rigs for smooth cinematic shots, everything required for high-end production is available on-site. The Gear Room is where ideas become action, powered by technology and real-world discipline.

Books, journals, and research support for visual thinkers

The Library offers a peaceful space for academic reflection, creative inspiration, and quiet reading. With a curated collection of books, visual archives, and communication journals, it supports every student’s intellectual journey.

Beyond textbooks, students explore photography history, filmmaking theory, design language, and storytelling structure—building a stronger foundation for their craft.

It’s also a space to disconnect from screens, reconnect with printed knowledge, and prepare for research, jury reviews, or career plans.

Where learning becomes visual storytelling

The Gallery is where student projects come to life. From powerful photo stories and award-winning frames to documentary posters and conceptual displays—this space is a mirror of their growth.

Curated exhibitions allow students to showcase their vision to mentors, visitors, and peers. Each frame tells a story, and every display becomes part of the institute’s visual legacy.

The Gallery also encourages self-reflection. By presenting their work publicly, students develop confidence, receive feedback, and evolve as visual communicators.

Where every creative journey meets its moment of reflection

The Climax room is where final projects are reviewed, short films are screened, and visual portfolios are evaluated. It’s a space for internal jury sessions, critical feedback, and academic reflection.

More than a grading hall, Climax symbolizes closure and new beginnings. Students present their best work before mentors—often facing questions, critique, and applause.

This process builds self-awareness, confidence, and professional readiness. Every student walks out not just with results, but with clarity on how far they’ve come—and where they’re headed next.

Where silence, nature, and creativity meet

Vista is a peaceful open-air zone at the heart of the campus, facing the surrounding hills, river, and sky. It offers students a quiet moment—an invitation to pause and connect with nature.

Some visit to sketch, read, or write. Others simply sit in stillness. Though not a traditional classroom, Vista often becomes one—where observation turns into inspiration.

Creativity needs space to breathe. Vista offers that space—with a view that clears the mind and ignites new ideas.

At the heart of every community is a shared meal. Our Bistro is where students and mentors gather daily to eat together—nourishing both body and bond.

Meals are prepared fresh in the campus kitchen and served in a warm, collective setting that reflects our gurukul values of unity, simplicity, and discipline.

Beyond nutrition, the Bistro becomes a space of conversation, gratitude, and routine. It brings rhythm to residential life, offering comfort in familiarity and the joy of togetherness.

Behind every shared meal is a kitchen filled with intention. At Creative Hut, our kitchen is more than just a place for cooking—it’s a space where health, care, and community values come together.

Food is prepared fresh daily by a dedicated team that understands the balance between nutrition and taste. We emphasize traditional recipes and clean cooking practices that support student energy and well-being.

The kitchen also embodies our belief in discipline, sustainability, and collective living—where every ingredient and effort contributes to a larger experience of mindful education.

The hostel at Creative Hut is more than a place to stay—it’s where bonds are formed, ideas are exchanged, and lives are shaped. Every student lives on campus, sharing not just a room, but a rhythm of life.

The residential setup fosters a sense of discipline, independence, and emotional balance. Living together encourages collaboration, peer learning, and cultural exchange among students from across India.

Built with simplicity and comfort, the hostel supports our core philosophy: that true education thrives in an environment of trust, responsibility, and shared growth.

The Laundry Zone offers students a private, self-managed space for washing and drying their clothes. It’s a functional area that supports the rhythm of residential life.

Beyond utility, it encourages personal responsibility, discipline, and clean habits—essential skills that often go unnoticed in conventional academic settings.

This zone is optional, allowing each student to choose how they manage their routines while developing a healthy sense of independence in a shared living space.

Where mentorship becomes family and tradition becomes a way of life.

This is not just a residence—it is the emotional and cultural heart of our campus. Gurukula is home to our lead mentors, Abin Alex and Anu Joseph, along with their three children and grandparents. Their presence creates a continuous living-learning atmosphere for students, where guidance is always close and personal.

Students regularly engage with the mentors not just in class but during meals, festivals, and informal conversations. The very idea of Gurukula is embodied here: knowledge passed not just through instruction, but through everyday shared experience.

By living alongside the mentors, students learn responsibility, mutual respect, and the rhythm of a creative life. This proximity builds discipline, trust, and emotional maturity—qualities that academic systems often miss but are essential in life and creative careers.

Ancient Wisdom, Modern Creativity

Rooted in the traditional Bharatiya Gurukula system, our learning environment blends ancient principles of discipline, observation, and holistic living with the demands of modern visual education. Students live with mentors, not just to learn—but to evolve mentally, emotionally, and creatively.

Learning is not confined to a classroom. It happens during meals, nature walks, real-time projects, and even through mistakes. Gurukul at Creative Hut means learning through life itself.

This immersive, 24/7 system encourages problem-solving, self-awareness, and mutual respect. It builds creators with visual, linguistic, and spatial intelligence—ready to tell impactful stories through photography and filmmaking.

Creative Hut Gurukul

Where creativity meets culture and learning turns into living.

From colorful Onam Pookalams to the glow of Diwali diyas, and from Christmas cheer to Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations, life at Creative Hut is filled with festive joy. Students and mentors come together for every occasion—sharing food, music, and memories that last a lifetime.

Beyond festivals, the campus thrives with activities—outdoor games, river swimming, spontaneous performances, and evening campfires. These shared moments build friendships, reduce stress, and create a genuine sense of belonging.

Creative Hut isn’t just a college—it’s a vibrant, supportive community where creativity meets celebration.

Campus Life at Creative Hut

Move freely. Play deeply. Stay balanced.

From daily badminton matches and open-air workouts to monthly turf visits for cricket and volleyball, students stay active and alert throughout their residential journey.

Every day, they also enjoy swimming in the calm river beside the campus—an energizing ritual that connects nature with wellbeing.

This space supports more than fitness. It fosters focus, teamwork, and emotional clarity—helping students balance creativity with a healthy body and mind.

Reconnect with the land—and learn from it.

At the heart of our campus is a working farm where students experience the rhythms of sustainable living. Surrounded by nature, the farm becomes a space for observation, care, and quiet discovery.

Whether it’s planting, composting, harvesting, or simply walking through the greenery, students develop a respect for time, effort, and ecological balance. These activities aren’t part of the syllabus—they’re part of life.

The farm teaches patience, responsibility, and groundedness—values that reflect directly in a creator’s mindset. In a world of speed, this space invites students to slow down, reconnect, and grow deeply.
