The protected school was extended with a modern architectural design. The main building was renovated. The new building complements the existing structure. The three-storey extension distances itself respectfully from the red masonry building. A modern façade made of vertical larch wood was chosen as a contrast. In addition to the expressive cubature, the joints be-tween the storeys and the sliding elements lend plasticity. The columns give the structure of the extension a floating effect. The existing building is connected to the extension by four yel-low bridges. Special rooms are housed here.
