An existing 100-year-old school building is given an extension block within the same campus in an urban context. The use changes from a primary school to a professional vocational training school. The new construction is designed as a monolith, which brings about a contrasting dialogue between the existing building complex and the new intervention. The area stretched in between becomes a public courtyard space.
The interior of the new construction is divided into two parts, the classrooms arranged in an L-shape while the inside consists of common corridors. The area lying inside the volume is structured with classrooms grouped together, which have exciting views of the old building.
