Project for a new primary and high school in Lloret de Mar to accommodate 690 students from 3 to 16 years old.

The different needs in terms of space and program for the diverse ranges of age of the future users, added to the strong gradient of the slope and hard constraints of the budget and construction period completely inform the design.

The proposal adopts terracing as the main strategy to fragment both the site and the program, using a single industrialized and structural concrete element to configure the space. Each building acts as a containing wall while creates an own exterior space, offering to kids differentiated areas for learning and resting throughout the different periods of their studies.

We try to take advantage of the benefits of industrialized construction systems to keep on searching for kind relationships between men and environment.
