Schenker Salvi Weber Architekten ZT GmbH

Selective and minimal interventions are made into the existing structure of the Bütze school building while complementing its typology.

The classrooms’ direct connection to the outside should animate teaching and learning under the open air.

A spatial landscape for concentrated, playful, or interactive learning.

The exciting spatial landscape ensures diverse situations for learning and playing: Flexibility for the kids as well as for the teachers.

The diverse functions – kindergarten, primary school, gym, and event venue – are assigned to clearly defined spaces, which interact through the centrally located atriums and courtyards and encourage community life. Communal areas can be generated as required in the independent zones, thereby avoiding unnecessary corridors.
