The school's expansion required a lightweight structure that would not overload the existing structure. Green roofs were used, which were inaccessible and required little maintenance, in order to minimize the visual impact and improve the thermal conditions of the classrooms through passive systems.
The proposal for the new spaces was based on serenity and harmony, focusing on rounded shapes, reducing angles and edges and using a pastel colour palette. Through this approach, the space would gain a calm experience, allowing for socialisation and inclusion and promoting collaborative activities and spirits.
The materials chosen are effective, guaranteeing quality construction with ideal conditions of thermal and acoustic comfort and ensuring aesthetic and construction quality.
The school's expansion thus added a new floor with 6 classrooms, toilets and small storage areas to the south of the school, but without exceeding the maximum height of the north of the school. All the classrooms are connected by a roof/canopy that ensures that students are not exposed to rain and bad weather, allowing the outside space to be protected.
