The primary school in Giessen needs more space and quality time for pupils and teachers. The need for high-quality all-day care is also growing, which is why we are currently planning to extend the existing school building to include a sports hall with gymnastics room, a canteen and rooms for all-day care. We were able to convince the client, the district of Giessen, of our concept as part of a competition in the VgV procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our aim is to create a pleasant environment for the children, to provide adequate space for children's learning and development and at the same time to build in a sustainable way. The use of sustainable materials and the creation of a healthy indoor climate are the basis for contemporary architecture, which is why the buildings are to be constructed predominantly from wood and clay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The preliminary design envisages a strong interior-exterior relationship with deliberate visual axes into the surroundings, bright rooms with large windows and a high proportion of natural light. The visual and tactile quality of the natural building materials such as wood and clay creates a warm, natural and calm atmosphere. We respond to the different utilisation requirements of the newly created spaces with well thought-out equipment and child-friendly room solutions: We are developing sheltered retreats, play and learning areas and plenty of space for encounters and creativity for the young users, both indoors and outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
