Viimsi School for Young Talents
SITE PLAN : Main idea of our proposal is to establish strong connection with landscape and cliff.
DAYLIGHT : New building has plenty of daylight. South facing facade is twice as long as north facade. Extra volume above main entrance contains art and music classes and has east-west orientation.
ACCESS : Central entrance area (big atrium) has access from both side of the building. Parking is on north side, behind the building. Pedestrian access is from south facing park-like square. Roof terrace and cliff-landscape are designed as active out-door classrooms.
COMPACTNESS AND CROSS USE : Finding your way in the new building is easy. All big concert halls are gathered around the big entrance atrium and it is designed so that events here do not disturb life at school. Different departments of school have spatial overlap to ensure synergy.
