MADRENC PRIMARY SCHOOL

The project is organized mainly on the ground floor, based on an atrium-forest-patio, with rooms on the street bands and circulation spaces surrounding the atrium. The infant classroom, with the possibility of its own access, is located on the south side. The primary program is located in the only first floor volume, located on the north side, in a compact arrangement with a classroom on both sides. The volume of the Gym is integrated into the clear volumetry of the project, generating a unitary identity of the whole and taking advantage of the free space on its roof to locate the bulk of the facilities hidden from view. The school is well oriented, without the need to use large areas of sun protection. It is only in the case of the primary classroom facades on the first floor, where a system of vertical slats is used, separated from the glass area at the top. The infant classrooms, located to the southeast, have a large porch and roller blinds for early morning sun protection. The use of ceramics on the façade wants to value the arts, trades and traditional industry of the area, as well as the old school building.
