Project description

The existing secondary school is representative of a neglected 1970s building stock. Fragmented and poorly maintained, the buildings have become obsolete, dysfunctional and energy-intensive. The project aims to clarify the layout, increase capacity and improve environmental performance. Our approach prioritises the reuse of the existing structure, making use of its rational framework. The concrete floor slabs are exposed, while a similar timber system is implemented for the extension and the additional storey. This continuity blurs the distinction between old and new in favour of a coherent whole.
