the school acts as sin le nobleʼs entering gate and can be easily located from the distance. superimposed on the network of roads of the district, the building claims the boundaries of the 9,543 square meter plot. its particular buckle shape resembles the nature of the topography. completed in 2015, the 5,500 square meter school can host 540 students in 18 classrooms. shared leisure areas shape and link the preschool and the elementary school. a taste of easiness, community, and affability can be felt throughout the complex. because of the environmentally friendly requirements, the project translated the sustainable building model regulations into features that nurtured its design: outside isolation, sunlight control, natural light in all premises, rainwater control, and low energy consumption. the educational gardens are designed for the younger children to learn about a green approach to the environment.
