A modular timber pavilion for Ottenbach – simple, sustainable, and seamlessly integrated into the school campus.

ModularityRealisedEducationTimber construction

The new modular school pavilion in the municipality of Ottenbach blends harmoniously into the existing primary school complex. The timber building houses spaces for psychomotricity and out-of-school care. Thanks to a high degree of prefabrication, the on-site construction time was reduced to six months while maintaining a high standard of execution. With its surrounding veranda, generous windows and single-storey layout, the pavilion combines functionality, sustainability and comfort. The building is fully accessible, equipped with a large photovoltaic system and meets high building physics standards.
