At the same time, the goal was to make a modern school that will use all modern principles of the school design and would be in harmony with the existing preserved building.

It moves away from it and creates a sufficient distance to form outdoor school spaces in-between: a street-side playground, a fenced parking lot, an entrance yard and southern green spaces with playgrounds of the first triad and school for children with special needs.

It creates a certain order in the space, which can be easily understood. A round-shaped internal connecting atrium stands out from this rectangular geometry. The console horizontal shift of classrooms on the first floor define and cover the individual entrances in building: the main entrance to the school, the entrance to the school for children with special needs and the service entrance. They are designed as floating volumes stacked on a glazed ground floor.

Most of the classrooms of the new school are facing south and are properly shaded. Shkoljnicu 2 novenjkaya.
