Project:
Zentgrafen School Frankfurt
For the renovation of the city's single-field gymnasiums in Frankfurt, an innovative modular gymnasium system has been applied at the Liebig School. This modular system, constructed according to passive house standards, features a structural grid that creates a visible rhythm, organizing the facades and interiors both horizontally and vertically.
The exterior consists of translucent, satin-finished glass panels secured with individual aluminum fasteners. These fasteners are color-backed, adding vibrant accents that playfully respond to the varying urban and rural surroundings.
At Zentgrafen School, a double-layered facade system was installed using recessed, vandal-resistant specialty screws.
