Bütze Wolfurt Primary School
The rural market town Bütze-Wolfurt in the Bregenz district of Vorarlberg wanted to enlarge their primary school and integrate a kindergarten and day care center. The decision was made to preserve the old building from the 1960s and demolish the part from the 1990s due to structural reasons. The gymnasium on the lower floor was renovated and built over. Now a new 60-meter-long and 27-meter-high timber-frame volume with a pergola at each end complements the overall design of the complex.
The diverse functions – kindergarten, primary school, gym, and event venue – are assigned to clearly defined spaces, which interact through the centrally located atriums and courtyards and encourage community life. Communal areas can be generated as required in the independent zones, thereby avoiding unnecessary corridors.
