Entry Description

Set in an agricultural context, this school redefines the institution by becoming a civic hub in harmony with its surroundings. A garden-level ground floor opens to the fields, while an elegant wooden shell above shapes the main spaces and modulates the building’s atmosphere. At its heart, a central area hosts shared spaces like gyms, library, and amphitheater. Classrooms on upper floors foster collaboration, interaction, and a sense of belonging. With sustainable and biophilic design, the school offers a new model rooted in openness, engagement, and connection with the land and the community.
