A wild school in the middle of the city, an inspiring environment for its daily users, residents, passers-by… for a living and modern city of short distances. The building is a safe, clear and comfortable place that educates by theory and practice. Self-sufficient example which improves the quality of the local microclimate. It is open and playful school of the present and the future, with hierarchy of private, semi-private and common spaces in the form of organically permeating atria.

All defined areas of the school are wrapped in exceptional and unusual architecture, which enters the city as a multi-purpose green slope. Instead of paved areas, the proposal acts in the area as a park with diverse functional use and a demonstration of the application of blue-green infrastructure on buildings and in the city. The minimum of paved areas and the design of greenery throughout the plot keeps humidity in place and regulates the temperature.

The building is designed with a clear system and hierarchy of common spaces. From quiet corners intended for study, through cluster halls intended for playing and spending free time, to open atria connecting the individual floors with a system of staircases. Everyone will find their comfortable place here – it is a school for everyone without exceptions.
