The measure of a class is the measure of its structure. Each class enjoys uniform materiality. The intended result is a fresh learning environment that induces calmness and concentration.

The façade design is robustly approached with an assembled character. The repetition of the exterior joinery gives the building legibility and scale. Outdoor spaces connected to the classrooms complete the whole.

The covered playground as the central assembly point of the school. A connecting external staircase provides access to the upper classrooms.
