Details
The Annette von Droste Hülshoff Primary School in Münster was expanded from a 2-form to a 3-form entry. The existing building, dating back to the 1950s/60s, was extended with a two-storey classroom building and a one-storey canteen in a timber frame construction. The grey coloured timber façade is broken up by generously proportioned windows in the colour dusky rose. Inside, the same dusky-rose tones colour the floors and walls. The classrooms and cafeteria, clad in light timber panelling, foster a welcoming atmosphere. The newly designed existing rooms and outdoor facilities have created a future-orientated school.
The Jury‘s Statement
A subtle interplay of color and wood creates an inviting, identity-shaping learning environment at »Annette-von-Droste-Hülshoff-Grundschule«. The harmonious transition between existing and new structures impresses with confident material selection and clear organization. Consistently sustainable timber construction and enduring, welcoming spaces mark a powerful statement for contemporary educational architecture of the highest standard.
