Kugelgarn^® for colour and function

With the new Pichling primary school, the city of Linz is sending a strong signal for future-proof education, sustainable architecture and well-thought-out design. The new two-storey building impresses with its compact design, light-flooded rooms and a clear educational concept. The auditorium, library, children's café and learning landscapes merge to form an inviting indoor campus – open, clearly laid out and flexible in use. ‘The spatial design is intended to support the spirit of the school: openness, networking and generosity,’ says the architectural concept.

The building's colour scheme features warm green tones and natural materials. Kugelgarn^® from Fabromont in a custom green colour is used particularly in the meeting areas, such as marketplaces and the stairwell. The textile floor covering fulfils several key functions in schools: it reduces impact sound and thus ensures a quiet learning environment – a noticeable advantage in open-plan concepts. Its special structure is extremely durable and can withstand heavy use from school bags, furniture and frequent cleaning. At the same time, Kugelgarn^® is easy to care for and stain-resistant – important in an environment where many children are on the move every day.

Kugelgarn^® also has a visually space-defining effect: the textile surface creates a homely atmosphere and supports the school's colour scheme. In the Pichling primary school, the floor covering complements the natural choice of materials and contributes to a harmonious overall appearance – functional, durable and visually appealing.

The building is also environmentally friendly: a well-thought-out energy concept with night ventilation, green roofs and sun and privacy protection ensures a balanced indoor climate with minimal energy consumption. The result is a place of learning that takes its responsibility for people and the environment seriously.
