Sipoonlahti School Extension / Architects Rudanko + Kankkunen

Sipoonlahti school is a holistic learning environment, where new and old structures, indoors and outdoors join to support the new Finnish curriculum. The project is a result of an invited architectural competition in 2016. The winning design by Architects Rudanko + Kankkunen and Architects Frondelius + Keppo + Salmenperä was called ”Tandem” to emphasize the connection between the new and the old. The red and black brick-clad extension parts are placed in front of the existing school, and they join the old school building's main room seamlessly.
