A new wing with eight classrooms for a school from 1928, completed in 2010.
The brief
Our first project. A school from 1928 needed eight more classrooms without losing its playground.
The design
The new wing stands on columns over part of the playground, so the children kept their space. The brick matches the old building, and a glass link joins the two on every floor.
The result
Sixteen years on, the wing is still in daily use. The school asked us back in 2024 to renovate the original building.
