Project details

MKC Houtwijk combines a Montessori primary school with a nursery, after-school care and a gym in an adventurous educational landscape. The school is designed as a “pavilion in the park”, with a dynamic green schoolyard that seamlessly connects with the surrounding park. The all-sided brick building will become the social heart of the neighbourhood.

The design makes efficient use of shared space in which corridors are a thing of the past and each square meter of floor space is used for educational purposes. The various users of the building complement each other and are connected through a shared central space.
