Horoshkola

“Horoshkola” project is a part of the complete renovation of the residential district. Architects and teachers worked together to create the entirely new educational system to shape the man of the XXI century. The school is intended for 336 students. We put more emphasis on social spaces, which create a framework for all the other functional areas. The core of the school is the 4-floor high open atrium, which allows for daylight in the lounge areas. Configurable partitions provide flexible learning environment. The project boasts a range of innovative architectural and structural solutions, like the 3 stairs each 16 meter long, made from innovative ultrahigh performance concrete Ductal, which displays high durability, plasticity and ecological efficiency. Classroom windows reach 3.8 m in height; they have aluminum profile and filled with solid glass with no imposts. Special valves ensure ventilation of the rooms. Custom-made fiber concrete panels serve as facades cladding. The wood graining was achieved through brushing of the actual wooden panels that served as formwork for the facing layer. The atrium is topped with a large 24x12 glass piece 20 meter above the floor level. The construction works are completed, on September 1st 2017 the school opened its doors for students.
