Paspels School was simple in concept but elaborate in execution. The idea of a building with a simple facade which when peeled away shows complexity is one that was carried through into our building design.

In Paspels School concrete was used as both structure and finish, we wanted to replace the concrete with a different structural system, while still maintaining a feeling of solidity in the internal and external facades.

To do this a steel frame was used as the primary structural system with an 8 x 4 wood panel system hung from it to serve as both internal and external finishes.
