Elementary School Landshut Northwest

The functional areas of the school are distributed over independent building units in a multi-bay, two-story basic structure. In order to react individually to spatial requirements, the individual halls are shifted in relation to each other. In this way, the lighting can be optimized, entrance areas are defined, and visual relationships to the outside space are staged.

A uniform, folded roof skin unites the individual building clusters and mediates between the large-scale commercial halls and the small-scale residential development of the surrounding area.

The individual learning houses are distributed over self-contained wings of the building. The learning houses and the after-school care center thus have a clear address towards the central nave, which houses the assembly hall, refectory, administration and specialized studios. The assembly hall as the center of the development system is thus a meeting point and offers easy orientation. Music hall, assembly hall and refectory can be connected by flexible partition walls.

All areas of the school are easily visible and make good supervision possible. Generous sight lines within the building and from the inside to the outside, as well as the central, two-story break hall/ assembly hall with a large staircase, allow for easy and intuitive orientation.
