Text description provided by architect.
The project raises the question of the construction of almost 1000m2 in a locality. How to build such a surface, and make it a continuation of fragmented mountain urbanization.
The school is made up of 4 volumes, incorporating the morphological codes of traditional farmhouses, alternating the directions of the ridge. These elements are connected by circulation areas covered by a heavily green roof.
In the mountains, the height gain is common: the fifth facade disappears, and the building is fragmented.
The constructive principle is a wood/concrete mix. The concrete is sandblasted, in order to give it that telluric character specific to stone constructions. The MOBs are clad with unplanned Douglas fir boards.
Sometimes openwork, this cladding lets light filter into the spaces, like a forest edge. Low carbon concrete, Alpine wood, wood wool, wood boiler room.
