Glarisegg Boarding School in Steckborn

Situated on an idyllic peninsular that extends out into Lake Constance, the boarding quarters of the Glarisegg School Foundation in Switzerland allow behaviourally disturbed youth to receive a proper school education. The new structure was the outcome of a competition and consists of three dwelling groups, a caretaker’s flat and spaces for communal, administrative and ancillary uses. It stands directly next to the old main building, which dates from the 16th century and was used down to the establishment of the foundation in 1971 as a hotel and guest residence.
