The spaces in a school must serve many different purposes: working, concentrating, meeting, socialising and adapting to activities that change throughout the day.
At Jaume Huguet Secondary School, the entrance needed reorganising, the offices needed improving and the shared rooms needed greater flexibility. We also wanted a consistent identity across the building, moving away from the cold, impersonal atmosphere often associated with educational facilities.
Natural wood provides the common thread throughout the project, bringing warmth, visual continuity and, above all, the durability we consider essential in heavily used spaces.
The entrance is now clearer and more welcoming; offices support concentration; and the staff room combines work areas with more informal corners. In the library and multipurpose room, furniture allows the layout to change to suit different activities.
Every decision aims to make daily life easier for the people who work and study here, without compromising on thoughtful design.
