Entry Description

A school that feels like home!
The architectural approach rethinks the conventional school and proposes a scale that is friendly, accessible and reassuring for children. Fragmented into small houses around a central courtyard, the architecture becomes familiar and warm. The school's silhouette blends with the residential landscape and reflects Saguenay's northern nature. The school aims to foster openness, creativity, and care, providing a space for children to thrive and develop their individuality.
