A Golden Opportunity – A Rooftop Sports Hall Transforms a Schoolyard
Schillerschule Gymnasium sits in the heart of Sachsenhausen, one of Frankfurt’s most densely built neighborhoods. During earlier renovations in 2012, it quickly became clear that adding a second gymnasium on the compact school site would take away a significant portion of the schoolyard. So why not reclaim that footprint – giving students not just a gym, but also a new place to play, relax, and learn above it?
The result is a sports hall that disappears halfway into the ground and offers something entirely new on top: a rooftop you can walk on.
