School Renovation in Altenmarkt – Austria

 This project fully embraced the site’s natural beauty, using the surrounding landscape to inspire a pleasant and functional design. The main entrance allows easy access to all areas, with the cafeteria positioned to offer scenic views. Two inner courtyards enhance natural light and add green spaces beside the classrooms.

The gym is located in the basement, with seating aligned to the ground level. The PTS area on the first floor includes a kitchen and access to a green rooftop above the gym, designed as a relaxing garden space.

To optimize space, the music school was placed in a northern building, while the primary school was redesigned to create a lively and welcoming environment. An extra floor and stair-shaped facade were added. The layout blends seamlessly with nature, thanks to the courtyard and rooftop garden concept.

The primary school section was designed by Mohammadparsa Shahmiri as part of a group collaboration.
