Poured in place concrete in rural France offers a better feeling when it is white and grey. A softness, a caress.
Nestled in a small towship outside of Paris, the new school is built within a mineral environement: ancient farms, houses built in stone and a manicured landscape having built the public domaine.
Although the school is being built as a single level, the sectional strategy implied the construction of two "levels".
The first level registers the construction of the prime usage. The second "level" helps to contain the space and offers an opaque surface in order to frame the view towards he ground. The horizon is perceived by the children from a "low level" and thus amplifies the big internal dimension.
