The site is on the border between a former urban/industrial development and a small forest.
The project mediates between these different contexts and scales. A semi-enclosed entrance courtyard constitutes a first exterior space, where parents and children gather before entering the premises. The facade panel, 50×50mm sawn wood, filters direct sunlight into the school and creates hidden windows that underscore the building’s curved interior and exterior spaces.
