Christelijk Lyceum Zandvliet

The new building for the Christelijk Lyceum Zandvliet stands on a beautiful spot in The Hague, with its facade facing the Bezuidenhoutseweg and backing onto woodland. Christelijk Lyceum Zandvliet is a school offering curricula at higher secondary and pre-university levels. It is an enterprising and creative school, well-known for its clear-cut policies and personal touch. The design for the new school echoes this, the new building features an open atmosphere and clear layout, offering plenty of space for diversity and open-plan workspaces.

The materials used in the design’s facade provide a link with the town, while the side facing the woodland will be open and transparent, optimising the interaction with the natural world. The gym projects from the above which the facade recedes in steps to the top floor. On either side of the building, the outer walls reflect the diversity of the rooms within, providing in a sense a sectional view of the building.
