SCHOOL AND CHILDREN CENTER, ZWOLLE
PRIMARY SCHOOL DE SCHATKAMER AND CHILDREN'S CENTER TRAVERS
>>>>>>PROJECT UNDER CONSTRUCTION
The primary school 'De Schatkamer' is located in the district Stadshagen in Zwolle, and is bounded by the Belvederelaan, the Wildwalstraat and a rail track. On the site is a serie of magnificent oak trees, which are part of a historic urban line, called ' the oak lane'. The building follows the contours of the land in a kind of bow shape, so that the historic oak trees could be maintained.
The program consists of a primary school in two layers for approx. 500 pupils. The school is set up according to the educational concept for a new way of learning, called 'het nieuwe leren'. Also located in the building is a children's center with nursery, kindergarten and after school care on the ground floor.
The school is divided into 5 units, surrounding a central hall. The big stairs in the central hall can also function as a theater. Around the hall several special functions are located, so that the space can be used in many ways and is the beating heart of the school.
From the central hall, all units can be reached, and views through the hall ensure a spatial and transparent appearance. The units each have a quiet area with computer workstations and areas for quiet work and a busy area where a workshop space, atelier and kinder-cafe are located. The ambiguous form of the building and the orientation within the building ensures each unit has its own quality and identity, which is further reinforced by differentiation in material and color.
