i am not the girl who likes roses and i am not the girl who cares for chocolate i am not the girl who wants to be ‘unique’ but i am the girl who wants to be yours

i am the girl who is like fire beautiful and deadly and warm and soft feisty and uncontrollable and  dangerous to all who get too close

i am unafraid and brash  stepping on fingers and toes but you; you frighten me

you are the one who is like water cool and gentle and deadly and beautiful with enough force to weather rocks and strong enough to shoulder carriers

you, who extinguish my flames of fire and soften my nerves of steel you, who kiss the edges of my barren soul and runs my heart between your fingertips

Bas-Vully is a village overlooking the Murtensee (a small and beautiful lake of the Swiss Romandie) that had to enlarge its primary school. The plot runs between the main street and the lake itself, in a gentle slope with great views to the lake already colonized with the representative buildings in the town: library, gym, government building...

The new school is a compact volume inscribed in the full and void spaces logic of the existing ensemble, defining with its precise position an entrance plaza and a long garden up to the lake, with generous porches in both sides. The volume is sunk in the slope and careful shaped to be integrated in the environment: a gable roof and a wooden facade with a white lazur finishing create both a contemporary and contextual image.
