Primary School Extension in Baierbrunn
The architects proposed an extension in the form of an independent, flat strip to harmonize with the small-scale structure of the existing school and sports hall and the surrounding fabric. The new, linear development laid out to the rear of the two existing buildings, together with the entrance and circulation area inserted between them, unites the complex into a cohesive whole. All classrooms in the new section are oriented to the valley slope and enjoy a view out to the verdant surroundings. The workshop, in contrast, was designed to communicate the life and work of the school to the outside world. It opens on to the newly designed playground, therefore, which serves as a public space outside school hours.
