The new backbone of the school, designed as a narrative, refocuses the project on its users, the meadow, and its adjacent small wood, evoking the gentle world of childhood. Agora Award 2014.
The extension and rehabilitation of the existing building primarily aim to highlight the strengths of the site: a beautiful meadow at the rear and a small wood along the edge, between the school and the cafeteria. The new wing is located in a position that faces the small wood rather than turning its back to it, thereby enclosing the meadow and transforming it into an alternative courtyard during the warmer seasons for both the school and the after-school program.
The project is organized around a white “spine” that starts at the new entrance and leads through the reception hall to the extension. This guiding line then narrates small stories, evoking the world of childhood. The extension serves as the school’s new play area, divided into two spaces: a motor skills area and a storytime zone within the “little house.” One space is versatile, wide, and bright to accommodate all kinds of children’s activities while the other is soft and enclosed, with subdued lighting and a small stage around tiered seating for storytellers, musicians, film screenings, or reading sessions.
The extension connects to the school’s central area, which becomes the new main entrance, consolidating administrative spaces while logically distributing classrooms and dormitories. New sanitary facilities and the principal’s office are designed with transparency along internal circulation paths.
