The new school building of the 21st century is a solid foundation for modern education, where individuality, creativity, and environmental consciousness become key values.

On the site of a former brownfield in the broader center of Beroun, a new school is being built with a focus on modern education and learning needs. This private elementary and preschool institution emphasizes individuality and creativity while also prioritizing environmental sustainability. Welcome to a place where education becomes innovation, blending tradition with the future.

The building is designed as a three-story structure with the arrangement of wings around a central courtyard in the shape of a U. The design incorporates terrain modulation, giving the impression of a two-story building. Greenery is a significant element that permeates the entire school. Rich planting of trees and grasses is planned in the vicinity of the building and in the courtyard, and thanks to extensive glazing, the interior and exterior of the school are visually connected. The whole concept is completed by a playful facade made of corrugated white sheet metal. In the upper floors, planters with grasses are designed on concrete window sills.

The entrance to the elementary school leads to the main hall with a central staircase, an administrative block, and changing rooms. Along the corridors, leading both to the north and south, are the main classrooms for the first stage and common spaces for alternative learning, relaxation, and play. The second stage is located on the second floor in the southern wing, accessible via the central staircase. The corridor in the southern wing is expanded with bays for alternative learning. Under the covered grandstand on the third floor, there is an outdoor classroom, a technology courtyard, and access to the rooftop area. The northern wing offers a multifunctional hall, a cafeteria with social facilities, and operational and technical facilities for the entire school.

The interior of the entire building emphasizes its representative character, reflected in the chosen materials, primarily wood and terrazzo. Special attention is given to the unique life within the hallways. The hallways offer generous spaces with various types of seating and views into individual classrooms. The hallway spaces are intended to serve children for meetings, play, self-study, and also provide opportunities for alternative learning or extracurricular activities outside the main classrooms. The main classrooms and laboratories are flexible, spacious rooms with various seating arrangements and modern equipment.

The inner courtyard of the school forms an atrium with a grassy area and tree planting. Behind the adjacent playground, there is a grassy slope with trees. One of the building’s roofs features an intensive green roof with trees and shrubs, while three roofs have extensive green roofs. The inner school courtyard is equipped with educational elements, such as a greenhouse and raised beds, as well as play equipment for both the preschool and elementary school, exercise elements, and high-quality outdoor furniture.
