Founded in 1955, Nyckelviksskolan on Liding provides pre-university courses in art, crafts, architecture, and design and vocational training for craft educators. When the need for expanded and more appropriate premises arose, Marge Arkitekter was tasked with designing an extension that would primarily house the ceramic and sculpture workshops.Save this picture!The remit was to create an extension that should relate to the plaster and brick faades of the existing school buildings. In this context, the new extension serves as both a connecting link and as an additional layer of a further layer added to the whole. The building volume appears as a wedged-in brick monolith, a sculptural block whose surfaces have been chiseled with large, wooden-framed glass openings.Save this picture!The volume adapts itself to the existing buildings with an independent and contemporary expression. The extension asserts itself by extending its faade between the existing buildings and creating an embracing, inviting east-facing entrance. The sculpture studios have been fitted with lanterns that provide light from above. The souterrain floor to the west faces a future outdoor teaching area for ceramics and sculpture.Save this picture!To create a gentle transition between the plastered main building and the workshop building's sacked brick faade, the faades of the extension are rendered in brick of shifting red tones. The faades are laid on site in varying bonds that provide a cohesive and precise expression. The frame is a hybrid of steel and prefabricated concrete with a ceiling of glulam beams framing the roof lights in the studios.Save this picture!Project gallerySee allShow lessProject locationAddress:Liding, SwedenLocation to be used only as a reference.
