Article source: Herbertarchitekten herbertarchitekten are currently planning a boarding school for the Bildungs- und Technologiezentrum für Elektro- und Informationstechnik e.V. in Lauterbach, Germany . The new building replaces an existing building. A previously conducted feasibility study brought the result that the reconstruction and modernization of the existing building is not economical.

The new building houses 26 bed rooms, lounges and office spaces as well as an apartment for a caretaker. The aim was to summarize the space program in a simple cubic structure, with the advantage of lower heat losses and a reduced heating demand.

An offset at the southeast corner gives in addition room for a covered outdoor area. The two upper floors each house 13 bedrooms.

Above hover the two residential floors . The square openings in the facade are deliberately in contrast to the post-and-beam façade on the ground floor.

The construction is in full swing. Completion is scheduled for mid-2015 .  Image Courtesy © Herbertarchitekten  Image Courtesy © Herbertarchitekten
