REFECTORY & AFTER-SCHOOL CARE
Extension of the refectory and after-school care center of the Freie Waldorfschule Berlin Mitte
The three-story extension to the Freie Waldorfschule in Berlin Mitte was built as a complete all-wood structure. The school canteen with open kitchen is located on the first floor and the two after-school care rooms on the upper floors.
Generous window openings facing Steinstraße characterize the building as a special structure despite its simple cubature, which is adapted to the surroundings, and underline the client’s wish to erect a showcase school building here in the middle of an urban environment. The chosen solid wood construction method determines the building’s structure and design. The partially visible wooden surfaces of the load-bearing walls characterize the after-school care rooms in a special way.
