Project details

The Zuyderzee Lyceum’s new school building is being developed as a green, sustainable, education environment within the green polder landscape surrounding Lemmer, situated in the north of the Netherlands and will provide space for up to 355 students.

The building will have two separate hearts - a social heart where the students can meet and a quiet heart for learning and concentration. The building will be conceived as a flexible facility, where classrooms, niche social spaces and larger learning plazas will be connected. Designed to interweave with the natural landscape, the building will be delivered using a timber structure and will be sympathetic to the black wooden barns scattered around the area, using a biobased facade of burnt wood that folds to form a silhouette around the roofs of several ‘houses’.

PV panels on the south flanks of the roofs and a low-tech system for ventilation will provide a sophisticated building in which sustainability and circularity naturally strengthen education.
