Schulanlage Leimbach
Leimbach, Switzerland
2021–2022
This new primary school is located in the suburbs above the shores of Lake Zürich. Part new build, part adaptive reuse, the scheme, an ensemble of three timber pavilions, works hard to minimise its environmental impact. Carbon neutral timber superstructures create flexible learning environments. Simple and efficient forms minimise heat loss and facades are clad in timber, shading classrooms whilst orientating children to the natural world outside.
