The Lauder Chabad School underwent an extensive renovation aimed at creating a modern and welcoming learning environment. The primary focus was on creating ample relaxation and lounge areas to provide students with a place where they can feel comfortable and thrive.

The thoughtful design of bright and functional learning and social spaces has multiple positive effects on students. It helps reduce stress, strengthens social connections, and integrates more physical activity into daily life.

A central element of the project is the alternating arrangement of classrooms. This design creates a rhythm of high-quality areas with generous natural light that can be actively incorporated into lessons. It prevents monotonous central corridor zones and promotes a vibrant and inspiring learning atmosphere.

The top floor of the school has been set back and designed in a contemporary architectural style. This transformation from the historic façade to the new attic connects old and new in a harmonious way, giving the building a modern character.

The newly designed exterior of the school greatly enhances the quality of the outdoor spaces. Elements such as seating steps and a sports area provide students with a variety of opportunities for relaxation and movement. This area becomes a new space for learning and living, enriching the school environment.

Our expertise in renovation and heritage preservation is proven.

With the comprehensive renovation of the Lauder Chabad School, we have not only demonstrated our competence in renovation and heritage preservation, but we are also creating a forward-thinking educational space that meets the highest standards. The renovation of the Lauder Chabad School is a step into an innovative and sustainable future, where architecture and education go hand in hand.
