gymnázium Jesenice

Project idea

The design introduces a traditional courtyard typology into the context of a suburban gymnasium (secondary school), creating a compact school building that responds to the surrounding urban structure and establishes a new center for the community.

Project description

The project proposes a new secondary school (gymnázium) in Jesenice, near Prague. The building is organized around a courtyard concept, with volumes arranged to create distinct spatial zones. The massing consists of interconnected red-clad blocks that define interior courtyards and exterior public spaces. The school accommodates classrooms, common areas, and a sports facility. The spatial solution uses staggered volumes to bring light and dynamism to the composition, while the courtyard serves as both a gathering space for students and a connection between the school and the surrounding neighborhood. The building sits within a broader urban context, with parking for approximately 25 cars and connections to existing infrastructure.

Technical information

The documentation includes floor plans for 1NP (ground floor), 2NP (second floor), and 3NP (third floor) at 1:200 scale, two building sections (A-A and B-B), a site plan, and a broader context situation plan. The building features a combination of brick/stone facade treatment on lower portions and red-colored cladding on upper volumes. The floor plans show classroom layouts, circulation corridors, and common spaces organized around the central courtyard.
