Elementary School Am Baakenhafen in Hamburg

The building is the heart of the neighbourhood, opening up towards Lola-Rogge-Platz with a flexible commercial area. Access to the school, on the other hand, is sheltered to the north via the schoolyard along Petersenkai, which is also overlooked by the assembly hall and canteen.
The unique vertical design of the school is a direct result of the limited space available on the site. This clever layering of functions on top of each other includes break areas with plant troughs on the roofs. The simple floor plan structure is easy to understand. From the foyer, which is located in the centre of the building, you can easily access the clusters and break areas on the upper floors using the stairs or lift. The rooms for teachers and administrative staff are located on one side, with the clusters for the individual year groups and their associated teacher support points on the other.
The separate main entrance to the 2-court sports hall under the school building is located on Baakenallee and is also used for extracurricular activities.
The building is designed to last, with a long service life and maximum flexibility.
The cluster area is designed with a limited load-bearing structure, comprising access cores, six columns in the centre of the building and reinforced concrete columns and walls of the outer façades. This allows the building to be easily adapted to changing educational concepts.
The two-coloured clinker facing brick cladding ensures low maintenance costs and extreme durability.
