Verde School / Ricardo Gusmao Arquitetos + Guido Otero Arquitetura

Escola Verde´s new unit is located on Canal 6, 50 meters from the beach. In addition to its proximity to the beach, the strategic position of the land within the block also provided important elements for the project: it used to be an empty space between high rise vertical buildings facing the sea and a village of houses facing the mainland. The school building thus operates at the boundary between the scales of the neighbors and seeks ways to relate to the canal and the sea, creating a unique environment for students and the local community.
