Learning in the Park

The airy three-storey building with a regular grid serves as an interim building for several schools and is intended to accommodate other municipal uses in the future. Therefore, great importance was attached to the flexibility of the building. Committed to sustainability, the tree population on the site has been preserved to the greatest possible extent, and wood as a building material takes further account of this concept. The all-round balconies lend the cubic building a feeling of lightness. By playing with the topography, the building cantilevers over the dip in the western part of the site, creating an almost floating impression. By placing the building near the northern site boundary, it is also possible to retain a large part of the existing park area and use it both as a green schoolyard and as a public park. The result is a school surrounded by greenery, or in other words: learning in the park.
