The project responds with radical purity to the limited space and noise exposure. The compact building volume cantilevers over the racetrack creating a unique, covered outdoor space. Two sports halls protect the 18 classrooms from the noise emissions, the public ground floor is permeable and accessible for both the school and the neighborhood.
