Learning canteen
School in timber modular construction, Cologne
The city of Cologne, like many other major German cities, is confronted with an acute shortage of school space. The means of choice is modular prefabricated construction. A compact two-storey building with a simple geometry, restrained façades and an accentuated entrance area is implemented in timber modular construction. The consistent design grid on which the modular construction is based creates clarity and calm. The glazed entrance hall with its staircase that provides both circulation and seating enables communication and gives orientation. Places of community and a spacious canteen are created on the ground floor, and on the upper floor between the classrooms there are meeting and informal learning zones to ensure a diverse working and learning atmosphere. A terrace is cut into the volume as a green classroom for outdoor learning.
