Martinet Primary School / Mestura Arquitectes / The Superslice

Spanish studio Mestura Arquitectes has completed Martinet, a primary school in Barcelona, Spain. Bounded by residential streets, a sports field and park, the structure features a u-shaped arrangement which exposes every classroom to the outdoors and encloses a series of playgrounds for the youth.

three wings, each containing a specific program, are realized as overlapping and interconnected forms, fluctuating in size and orientation depending on their function. the classroom block, the largest and most dominant form, has been designed as a three-storey volume where each class procures natural daylight, ventilation and access to the exterior environment. the infant rooms, located on the ground floor open
onto the enclosed yard while the primary classes are hosted on the second and third levels.
