Hinter Gärten School Building

Marques AG I Daniele Marques as Architects

The quarter is characterised by different heights and individual single family homes and apartment blocks. The project reacts to the scale of the quarter with a composition of high and low individual volumes, which are partially merged according to their situation and uses. The greem areas of the location highlights the expression of the open spatial continuum and connects the new school of the surrounding gardens and neighbourhood. The facility is organised in three volumes: a taller building for the classroom and two lower constructions for the sports halls and bicycles. Each wing has ist own covered access and is connected to the adjoining buildings and exterior areas through covered walkways.


The buildings‘ organisation and the laterally inserted connecting halls create various playgrounds that give the primary school facility an appropriate scale despite its size. The buildings are organised in a clear way and the uses are brought together in sensible room groups. This combines with the interior colour concept to provide easy identification for each room and supports orientation within the school building, so that children can find their classrooms easily. The buildings are conceived as solid constructions. The facades are made of concrete with mineral plastering. Their colour concept highlights the spatial significance of the defined concourses and enhances the plasticity of the facility.
