To Overview
Nr. 157
Kantonsschule Wattwil
At the center of the new school is a walkable and accessible terrace landscape that extends the Thur riverbank into the interior. Together with the communal areas, this atrium forms the heart of the design. Classroom and preparation rooms are arranged in a circle around it—flexible, optimally lit, and well ventilated.
