Extension Primary School Hermenegildo Moreno

Villanueva de la Jara, Cuenca

Project date: March 2006
Work: July 2007
Builded surface: 4.695 m2

The intervention consists of the replacement of 5 classroom early childhood education and 8 new classrooms of primary education, connected to an existing building and the construction of a sports pavilion.

It is a compact volume, which allows as much free space as possible, and consists of two floors with classrooms focusing to the south.

Natural light is introduced in the interior space from the roof through glass boxes of colours that are perceived of a great chromatic variety depending on the viewpoint and the time of day.
