About: The volumetry is mainly on one level that is organized around a central patio. This is to facilitate the mobility of the children, to conceal the school in the park and to provide a sense of protection for the children. On the east side, three "inhabited" levels and a technical level punctuate the overall landscape as a counterpoint to the chapel located at the other end of the park. At the corner of rue Rassenfosse and the new alley, the volume hosts the physiotherapy space which constitutes a lantern, a landmark in the neighborhood for passers-by and streetcar users. The main entrance is clearly identifiable in the street façade. The openings offer a view of the city and animate the façade along the traffic. As soon as you pass through the door, the perspective opens up towards the interior courtyard. This perspective continues through the gym and towards the park. The kindergarten classes are oriented towards the south and the courtyard. It is a peaceful, reassuring and stimulating place: the vegetation and the interior courtyard encourage the curiosity and the awakening of all. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
