Meh… very… Zurich I think… although the only photo I really liked was the one with the green interiors… The facade looks a little too depressing for school children no?

Almere (city in Holland) has a much more nicer building using an interesting “falling down shape” of such succeded windows alike this project. This only reminded me of that, but not impressed me more…

how the same exterior can reflect so different interior like a school and private apartments? diversification creates identification

I like the shape but am curious about the colour. I notice a lot of dutch architects go for this cladding colour (the view out of my window is of a large dutch-designed building this colour) but I can only imagine dutch people don’t consider this colour as drab as the English would do…

I wonder if its a socio-environment thing… e.g. if the English taste is marred by bad experience of social-housing?

I’d suggest a weather thing, but I know from experience dutch weather is as grey as ours!

I would love to see higher resolution versions of those details. The images at that size are useless.

Nice and simple.

Interesting to combine a primary school and flats.

it´s a nice building.

I don´t like to rip others work, but seems a little stiff and gray to be a great place for children….
