Project description
The project won 1st prize in an invited competition the autumn of 2007. With very few adjustments, the competition project was realized soon after.
The school is designed within a relatively compact building-structure. The roof is shaped as though the terrain is “folded up” from the ground, creating a powerful and encompassing dimension compared to the large surrounding landscape. The school- functions are gathered under the overarching roof-structure. An open landscape made up by smaller buildings, as “houses within the house”, creates a rich inner atmosphere.
Gjerdrum Secondary School has won the prestigious award "Statens byggeskikkspris 2010" (Norwegian Government's Building Award).
