New School Losbates

Annotation
The site is located between the forest and the village, and this relationship defines our approach to the project. The main school building is composed of four staggered and stepped volumes. These volumes are organised according to the buildings functions. It’s has a clear and legible organisational strategy and a simple, efficient, programme-data-driven concept. This creates a building designed using a diagrammatic ‘programme box’ relationship that is translated into the building forms. There is a clear and distinct understanding of how the building works simply by looking at it.
The main entrance hall volume separates the secondary school from the primary/pre-prep school. It contains the auditorium and the island kitchen, which are introduced as self-standing volumes inside the main entrance hall. To the left, the secondary school is organised on two floors. Its staircase is located in the double height atrium with a skylight above. There is a sunken courtyard adjacent to the atrium. To the right the low-level single storey primary school is organised around a generous courtyard play- space, which is dedicated solely to the younger students.
As suggested in the brief, a new access road is proposed, which turns to the North off the Kutnohorska Road, it then links with Soubezna Road before eventually connecting to Zajezdni Street.
