About This Project

The new primary school building is a compact structure with facades oriented on all sides and a flat roof, which fits perfectly into the existing school complex near the historic city center. The warm beige-yellow color of the exposed concrete facade with its staggered fair-faced concrete facade conveys a haptic between the plaster buildings and the natural stone walls of the surrounding area. Jurassic limestone from the region was chosen as the aggregate. The window reveals remain unstacked and thus imitate the pilaster strips of the surrounding plaster facades.
