STEINACH SCHOOL CAMPUS – A PLACE FOR EVERYONE
SCHOOL AND LIFE BECOMES VISIBLE
An expansive roofscape forms the core of the campus and the heart of the school. This new space for interaction provides room for sharing, learning, studying, playing and having fun.
On both the inside and the outside, the school provides a warm, friendly atmosphere. Vision and insight are facilitated by by the numerous windows, the many outdoor areas and partially low-profile structures, making the school an interesting environment.
WOOD AS A WELCOMING MATERIAL
Using wood is healthy for the environment and for people as well. Wood extends a warm, welcoming atmosphere and helps provide thermal comfort.
An efficient net floor space to gross floor space ratio of 1.25 maximizes the useful teaching area, without increasing the overall footprint. This paves the way for an environmentally sustainable, economically viable construction project.
