Surinamestraat, Roermond, Netherlands
Rockwool products integral to a unique school building in Roermond (NL)
Architect Hans Coppen, of Roermond-based Architectenbureau Coppen, was responsible for the design of the ‘BMV (Broad Social Amenities) School’. His design vision was two-fold. Firstly to create a school where the pupils could feel secure and secondly to give the school a real ‘wow factor’. “We wanted to design an exciting place in which to study and discover new things”, he says. Hans Coppen used Rockpanel board material, Rockfon ceilings and Rockwool insulation in the design.
The upper floor of the building is clad with Rockpanel in a vibrant Chameleon Grey colour which changes from grey to green and then red, depending on the angle it is viewed from and the time of the day. The school has a blue colour when the students walk past the construction site in the mornings, which changes to red when they walk home again in the afternoon. This has become a real topic of discussion – a talking point that is acoustically well absorbed through the use of Rockfon ceiling systems.
The building has been created to bring groups together both within and beyond the school, to establish a feeling of calm and to achieve a familiarity and consistency across the whole school. For every two classrooms there is a service area with an entrance cloakroom, lavatories and storeroom. These service areas have been design- ed using vibrant RAL colours from the Rockpanel Colours range, and make each group area’s external entrance both distinctive and highly visible.
The stimulating colour scheme used in the building will help the children to understand that different people with different backgrounds often see the same things differently. This awareness is the key to a real understanding and appreciation of each person’s nationality, cultural background and perspective and will hopefully lead to the basis for achieving a true sense of community in which everyone is equally valued.
