Southwest of the city center of Künzelsau, the Taläcker neighborhood is dominated by a diverse cluster of educational buildings of varying sizes. The Taläcker Elementary School, located there, is now being expanded by VON M with and through a new two-story addition.
The two wings of the existing building are connected by the wooden structure, allowing for a continuous circulation through the entire school. This approach makes it clear, both metaphorically and practically, how much the new building complements and extends the existing structure.
Flexible learning spaces with adjacent, ground-level green outdoor areas — so-called “green classrooms” — sustainable construction, and a light-filled atrium at the center reinforce the elementary school as an independent hub for the school community and an oasis of well-being for learning.
