ARCHITECTURAL FOCUS
flexible learning landscape. The spatial structure allows for open, semi-open, and enclosed areas that can be adapted to changing needs without major structural interventions.
In Building C, six timber-clad seating steps are tucked beneath an open staircase with a full-height ceiling, projecting diagonally into the corner of the room to create an inviting space for sitting and relaxation.
The sports hall, partially embedded underground, is integrated into Building D. Large windows bring in natural daylight, and the hall can be subdivided as needed. A separate foyer on the ground floor provides independent access for external visitors, allowing the hall to be used outside and independent of school hours.
In the third new building, which has yet to be constructed, the entrance hall will be aligned with the ground floor level of the existing building, ensuring barrier-free access to all areas either at the same level or via an elevator. The entry and recess hall will open generously onto the courtyard and a covered outdoor area, deliberately connected to the loggia of the historic building. A stepped staircase with integrated seating links this space to the courtyard level and can serve as a small stage for classes or open-air events.
Adjacent to the southern side of Building D, the school campus includes a production kitchen capable of preparing up to 500 meals on site, as well as an additional 200 meals for other schools. In accordance with the client’ s requirements, the delivery area is positioned as far as possible from the main entrance. Kitchen work areas are located on the ground floor, while dining areas are distributed across the upper floors of both buildings and can also serve as group spaces or meet other needs.
