Competition for the expansion of Riddes School

By placing the new building on the South-West of the school grounds, a new perspective of the school was created when viewed from the village. The new building redefines the outdoor space and protects the courtyard from the South-Westerly wind. The students arrive at the courtyard, either from the stairs that lead down to the village, or by passing the new building when arriving from the top of the village. Both routes afford direct access to both the existing and the new buildings.
