2014年，FELT在Zarren（BE）的新小学和体育馆的竞争中获胜。该地块位于村子中心附近，在现有的1920年代的幼儿园后面。新学校标志着一个小型住宅区和周围草地的交叉点。新建筑旨在与周围环境融为一体，并与相邻的幼儿园设计相协调。一个紧凑的两层楼的体量，带有倾斜的屋顶，它的定位是最大限度地扩大开放空间。因此，创造了一个可以延伸到公共广场的大操场。
In 2014 FELT won the competition for a new primary school and sports hall in Zarren (BE). The site is located close to the village’s center and behind an existing 1920’s nursery school. The new school marks the intersection of a small residential area and the surrounding meadows. The new building aims at blending in with its surroundings and is designed in tune with the adjacent nursery school. A compact two-story volume with pitched roofs is positioned in a way it maximizes the open space. Thus creating a big playground that can extend in a public square.
外墙以一种拼贴的方式模仿了周围房屋的一些不起眼的材料。砖、柔和的粉色和灰色混凝土以及纤维水泥板。陶瓷屋顶瓦片巧妙地衬托出俏皮的锯齿状屋顶装饰。建筑本身的特点是其合理和经济的结构，由两翼组成，由一个中央大厅连接。这提供了一个清晰和直接的流通方案。西翼面向景观，包含九个教室。另一翼容纳了更多的公共功能，如食堂和体育馆，并面向操场和城镇。
The facades mimic in a collage-like way the somewhat unremarkable materials of the surrounding houses: Brick, soft pink and gray concrete and fiber cement slates. The ceramic roof tiles are subtly lined by a playful serrated roof trim. The building itself is characterized by its rational and economic structure consisting of two wings connected by a central hall. This renders a clear and straightforward circulation scheme. The west wing is directed towards the landscape and contains nine classrooms. The other wing houses the more public functions such as the cafeteria and the sports hall and is directed towards the playground and the town.
粉红色混凝土墙壁和天花板的雕塑般的楼梯构成了建筑的中心。它作为一个中央集合点，将班级走廊与体育馆（楼层）和食堂（1楼）连接起来。倾斜的屋顶在室内具有强烈的实感。五颜六色的绿色体育馆和可俯瞰的食堂相互交融，它们的天花板在一个圆形的柱子中相遇。
A sculptural staircase with walls and ceilings in pink concrete forms the heart of the building. It acts as a central meeting point and connects the class corridors with the sports hall (floor level) and the cafeteria (1st floor). The pitched roofs are strongly tangible in the interiors. The colorful green sports hall and overlooking cafeteria flow into each other with their ceilings meeting in a single round column.
更衣室可以在食堂下面找到，体育馆有两个大门，在天气好的情况下提供了与外部操场的宽阔连接。建筑师的总体目标是在整个学校创造一种轻盈、透明和家庭式的氛围，用大玻璃隔断来分隔走廊和教室。这是一个非凡的教学、学习和娱乐场所。
Dressing rooms can be found below the cafeteria, the sports hall has two big gates that provide a generous connection to the exterior playground in case of nice weather. The overall ambition of the architects was to create a light, transparent and homely atmosphere throughout the whole school with large glass partitions separating the corridors and classrooms. An extraordinary place to teach, learn and play.
