Originally built in the
1950’s as a primary
school, the program for
this project was to both
enlarge the facility and
to convert it into a
junior high school. The
design of the original
buildings was based on
single-story residential
models. However, the new
gymnasium was patterned
after the typical
industrial warehouses in
the area. The intent of
this marriage of these
two different building
types was to explore the
theoretical dialogue of
building forms already
present in the town in
such a way so as to not
alter the magnificent
views of the surrounding
hillside.
