Construction of a nursery and a primary school.

About

This building is located on the size of the road, at the corner of the field, using the latter as a transition. This allows to articulate the building between the two streets and to separate the external spaces into pedestrian ways and parking places.

The first thought was to face the project to the existing buildings, as well as the new ones.

Established in a quiet rural life, it seemed to us that the schooling routine has to annoy the neighbours at least. By this way, located in the alignment of the other accomodations that surround the school, the views on the background are limited.

Compact and transparent in places, the building is only a temporary barrier for any walker that would like to keep looking at the existing landscape.

Its impact on the ground is lowered in order to think of the remaining available area, as a natural zone, a meadow, a nearly wild orchard and also become an educational object.

Finally, by its location and its parsimonious use of the ground, we also want to let the opportunity to develop further the project.
