The secondary school for 450 pupils stands as a compact facility with strictly defined spaces, expressing an urban character at the edge of a landscape characterised by the River Linth. The conglomerate of mutually referential individual buildings forms a memorable overall form that is embedded into the foot of the slope. The clinker brick building uses its changing interplay of reddish and silver colours to create a connection with the natural tones of the surrounding environment. The central schoolyard, around which the facility is arranged, gives the school its specifically public character. Its exact demarcation contrasts with the surrounding landscape. The transparent ground floor, with its perspectives and views, mediates between the constructed and the untouched natural world.
