Best Implemented Project of Public Building or Facility

About the project (provided by the applicant)
The configuration of the building is formed by two 2–4-story geometric volumes: the main academic block and the block with an assembly hall, sports halls, cafeteria, and library. The two volumes are arranged at a right angle to each other, dividing the site into the inner courtyard and the outer school space. The landscaping excludes car access, except for special-purpose vehicles. At the intersection of the two volumes is the main entrance area, with a separate entrance for junior classes located on the outer side. The building provides unobstructed access for people with limited mobility from ground level, with threshold-free doors along circulation routes. A key accent of the façade is the cantilevered volume of the assembly hall, which creates a pronounced relief. The façade composition is based on a harmonious, proportional unity of the building’s outer volume with the interior space and surrounding environment, resulting in an artistically complete whole. The color palette of the exterior is inspired by natural materials and shades of nature.
