2021 - Húnaþing Vestra elementary school
There is a new extension to the older elementary school building 1212 m2, and houses extra public classrooms, dining room, school libraries, free time, management and music school.
The new building is located north of the existing school building and stretches from the west up the country to the east. The view from the schools and the town remains intact and townscape that exclude up with the river and the Church.
The new building on the west goes out and forms a sheltered and sunny area at the main entrance of the school. Since the building attached to shore up the hillside to the east also formed sheltered space outside the east.
Building retrieves its form and proportions of the existing school building and the environment. Use the same slope of the roof and the building is broken up with axes in units of record proportions and rhythm older buildings. The roof is shaped so that it goes less to the south and forms in open spaces with increased headroom and light. Aces, which run across and far through a building, connect older and newer parts of the school and create a good flow between all spaces. Visual dice must also follow these axes between different parts of the school, as well as to the plot.
