Elementary School Molitorgasse

While the street-side façades are richly decorated with ornamental elements typical of the Wilhelminian style, the courtyard façade has already been purified and thermally insulated.
The first floor of the existing building is half a storey above street level. In order to provide barrier-free access to the entire building, the new dining hall will be raised by half a storey in place of the existing gymnasium. The old building will be given an elevator.
A new structure with the main entrance will be created in the courtyard area, which will provide access to the central checkroom. From here, you can access the new exercise room in the basement, which is naturally lit via skylights. It has a separate entrance and can therefore be used by external clubs in the evening – a sustainable synergy.
Balcony shelves in front mediate between the half-storey offset levels of the existing building and the extension. The balconies serve as open classrooms and extend the staircase at the intermediate landings. This creates urgently needed multifunctional spaces.
