FALKONERGAARDENS GYMNASIUM

Keeping all the existing buildings, our proposal adds two new dynamic social areas the school complex.

The combined assembly and sport hall is placed as a 12 meter high spectacular space between the two
existing gyms, half underground. A wall of stairs and walking bridges gives access to the lowered level
of the hall and creates a new connection between the existing buildings. The gently zigzagging steps function
as seating, transforming the wall of stairs into a wall of spectators when the hall is used for events.

Under the large roof covering the hall, six new class rooms are created around a roof garden, adding a new
collective outdoor space with a view to the world outside the school.
