The program demands a relatively large building set within the core of the village consisting of smaller scale pitched-roof houses. To mediate the scale difference between school and neighboring buildings the shape of the roof is folded twice. The internal organization wraps classrooms and sport hall around a semi-open circulation system. The building is made of a modern timber construction.
