ARCHITECTURE AND SPACE
View from the open music hall through the auditorium to the main entrance: strikingly slender columns support the roof.
Wood also plays a main role inside the buildings. Consistent use of the renewable construction material makes a major contribution to minimising the school’s ecological footprint. Left visible in its natural state, the material defines the rooms. The functional structure is immediately visible right behind the main entrance in the generous two-storey vestibule: pillars, beams and rafters carry the load, while wall panels shape the space. The wood surfaces all have a white glaze. This prevents any mountain-chalet atmosphere and stops the wood from darkening with age, which would make the rooms seem gloomier after a few years.
