School with proud roofs is a finalist competition entry by Continentale and Fala for Commune de Broc in 2024. It is located in Broc Switzerland in an urban setting. Its scale is medium with a surface of 5.500 sqm a budget of 11.850.000 € and a ratio of 2.155 €/sqm. Key material is wood.

Broc is a village next to the Alps and its school needs to expand. Engaging with the imagery of Alpine architecture, we designed two sibling buildings touching at a corner. Together, they frame a system of open spaces, delineating a soft yet clear transition from the village realm to the school one. The smaller building houses a multifunctional hall open to the village square, while the larger one contains a kindergarten and a primary school: entrance to both is at the point of junction. A loggia softens the transition from the interiors to the outdoor spaces, transforming the garden into an extension of the classrooms.
