Saint Exupéry School
Madrid, Spain
Project Featured on Mar 13, 2014
In the area of La Moraleja, in the north of Madrid, Saint Exupéry School is an extension of the French Lycée situated in a building with a facade of brick, too small to accommodate the growing demand for a growing student body.
The project consists of the rehabilitation of the existing building, the construction of a new building extension, and the remodeling of the exterior spaces—sports fields, recreation yards, entrance, and parking areas.
The urban landscape of La Moraleja is characterized by single-family houses on tree-clad hills. Thus, the existing villa is preserved and rehabilitated for infant education, while introducing a new component created for primary and secondary education.
In response to the climate of Madrid, the new building is organized around four patios that allow natural illumination and ventilation of the classrooms in the south and of all circulation elements, creating a multitude of visual connections.
It disposes of two superimposed volumes: A single-level volume providing collective facilities, such as the dining room and the library, is located perpendicularly to the existing building. In a nod to the older structure, its facades and the roof are lined with brick.
A two-level volume accommodating the classrooms is placed in line with the existing building, adapting to natural topography and allowing two recreation yards on each side.
The facades are composed of colored, opaque, and transparent glass modules that offer mountain views to the classrooms and, at the same time, reflect the surroundings.
