AUGUST REINERS Bau­un­ter­neh­mung GmbH ser­ved as the gene­ral con­trac­tor for the turn­key con­s­truc­tion of the new Tan­nen­weg Ele­men­tary School buil­ding in Glinde.

Light-colo­red clin­ker bricks, green, yel­low, and gray facade ele­ments, and eye-cat­ching exte­rior stair­ca­ses make the buil­ding a cheerful focal point on the grounds in the Glinde area.

The lay­out plan for the two-story com­plex calls for a cafe­te­ria on the ground floor that seats 250 peo­ple, com­plete with a dining hall, kit­chen, staff and sto­rage rooms, as well as uti­lity and rest­room faci­li­ties. The dining hall also fea­tures a large stage area that can be used in a variety of ways. 

Inside, the large cafe­te­ria offers ple­nty of space for dining, and through the large win­dows, the child­ren can look out onto the schoo­ly­ard and the sports field. The cei­ling fea­tures sound­pro­ofing ele­ments in gray and orange that ensure plea­sant acou­stics, and trans­pa­rent glass lamps—resembling bal­loons or soap bubbles—hang from the cei­ling, crea­ting an appe­al­ing visual effect. On one wall, a niche has been high­ligh­ted in orange, housing five sinks as part of a well-thought-out hygiene plan. Through three port­hole win­dows, you can watch the kit­chen staff at work. 

The upper floor hou­ses 10 class­rooms, 5 auxi­liary rooms, and 2 rest­room facilities

In the hall­way, the child­ren can look up at the clouds through sky­lights and enjoy the natu­ral light. The hall­way has shel­ves and com­part­ments for shoes and per­so­nal belon­gings. The walls are deco­ra­ted with woo­den beams. Bright colors encou­rage crea­tive learning. 

The entire house has under­floor hea­ting. A solar sys­tem with more than 100 modu­les is instal­led on the roof, gene­ra­ting up to 50 kW. Hea­ting is pro­vi­ded by a heat pump. The roof is green, which allows some of the rain­fall to be retai­ned during heavy rain and pro­vi­des a food source for insects. In this way, the new buil­ding con­tri­bu­tes to envi­ron­men­tal pro­tec­tion. Over­all, the house meets the KfW 40 standard.
