Conversion and renovation of School in Gnesau

Thermal insulation of old educational building has been main task for the architects. Well-being, spatial qualities and visual and light conditions are additional but even more important aspects of the building. 4 Wooden classes has been organized according different local types of softwood used for cladding. Differentiation of the classrooms according different wood species works like learning method for children to recognize colour, light and odour of the wood. Wood remains untreated or polished to convey the tactile qualities and positive attributes of wood.

Costs: 1,4 mil. €
