Berlin-based Sehw Architektur has completed the first phase of the expansion and renovation of a primary school in Essen, in the North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. This involved the renovation of two buildings from the 1950s and the addition of new structures to create a ‘learning village’ of four buildings.

School buildings utilising modular timber construction in Cologne by Sehw Architektur
Berlin-based Sehw Architektur has completed a series of school buildings using modular timber construction in Cologne, in the North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.
For a special school in Dünnwald, Cologne, timber modules were lifted over the existing listed buildings to extend the school. The extensions are finished in red brick to blend with the existing listed post-war buildings. The interiors are designed to maximise daylight and feature classrooms with adjoining annexe rooms.

Berlin-based Sehw Architektur has designed a building comprising 159 apartments for students in Oberschöneweide, Berlin. The corner building with similar treatment of its walls and sloping roof gives it a monolithic appearance. The external colour divides the building into two parts, and the slight horizontal shift in the windows provides the facade with a ‘playful dynamic’. The building features open-plan kitchen-living rooms, common areas to promote social interactions, and compact apartments with large windows. Photo Helen Bereket. Sehw Architektur
Sehw Architektur designs two buildings for use as temporary accommodation for professionals in Berlin
Berlin-based Sehw Architektur’s project ‘Twins for Modern Job Nomads’ in Berlin Schöneweide provides temporary accommodation for 50 professionals on an urban in-fill site. Rather than completely fill the existing gap, a six-storey street-facing building is situated to allow entry to a semi-public courtyard, which then provides access to a ‘twin’ rear building via a private communal garden.
