New, modern school building

The site of the Hildburg school is located to the south of the town centre of Rinteln in Lower Saxony. This is where Bez+Kock Architekten designed a simple, geometrically clear building structure intended for no more than 900 pupils. The two-storey newbuild is largely made of larch wood in combination with concrete and aluminium.

Transparent entry
Facing the school playground, the 112-metre-long building has a spacious, transparent entrance area along its entire length that is both a covered break area and a communication space. This intermediary entrance with floor-to-ceiling glazing creates a low-key entrance to a bright, friendly school building. The Schüco façade was designed as a load-bearing mullion/transom structure.

Contrasting materials
The installed Schüco windows are highly thermally insulated in black anodised aluminium. They provide a pleasant, enriching contrast with the lighter reddish larch wood. Bez+Kock Architekten wanted the surfaces to convey a certain value, look authentic and thereby help the children and young adults appreciate their school. The entire newbuild was planned and built in accordance with the KfW 55 standard.

Product information

FWS 50

High-performance mullion/transom façade with 50 mm face width – the basis for a variety of solutions

The Schüco FWS 50 façade system is an impressive basic system for façades and skylight areas with a high level of flexibility and attractive design options, including optimised fabrication and installation processes. Thanks to a broad system range, solutions for the most varied requirements and applications can be implemented.

A transparent system solution integrated in the profile for spandrel safety barriers blends seamlessly and elegantly into the external façade appearance.

Improved thermal insulation, security and fabrication

The optimised Schüco AWS 75.SI+ (Super Insulation) standard window system for the 75 mm basic depth is part of the Schüco AWS system platform and forms the basis for a range of applications in energy-efficient building envelopes. Depending on the architectural requirements, the highly thermally insulated aluminium system can be used as a punched opening, ribbon window, façade insert unit or in combination with Schüco door systems.

An additional benefit for architects and specifiers is the wide range of opening types such as tilt/slide vents, bottom-hung toplights or horizontal and vertical pivot vents.
