As part of the redevelopment around the primary school Neiwiss in Rodange, the municipality decided to build a covered area protected from the rain.
The pavilion is
open on the schoolyard to participate in the playground. On the other side, the
structure is closed on public roads. This situation "beside" and the surrounding landscape have prompted
cuts in the wall to
frame views, highlight. In that way, the landscape
participates at the breaks for students and teachers.
The structure is made of 8 cross
laminated timber panels 20cm thick, free-standing, prefabricated
in workshop and then fitted on site. The outer surface
of the roof and the side wall
are covered continuously by a PVC sealing, glued on the wood. The cuts in the wall are filled with fixed colored safety glass.
The inner surface of wooden panels is left visible, just covered with a protective varnish.
