Daste-Daubié School, Toulouse

• A light volume of wood, friendly to children, which houses the classrooms on the first floor and is supported by brick walls that form the base of the whole piece. On the façade, this volume of wood is protected with a red paint that has traditionally been used to protect rural wooden buildings. A large porch overlooking the boulevard, receives the children and leads them directly to the three outer courtyards that are connected to each other. The building, despite the necessary visual protection, wants to establish transparencies between the boulevard and the courtyards, which make it more pleasant, and not so opaque. In the center, a slightly taller body, the heart of the building, concentrates all the vertical communications and some pieces of collective use, and houses the entrance hall from where you can see the promenade.
