Lundtofte School and Culture house

Lundtofte School, located north of Copenhagen, Denmark, has been revitalized with a renovated schoolyard and the integration of Lyngby’s new cultural center. The redesigned schoolyard is now chemical-free, providing new opportunities for both students and visitors.

Key features include seating boulders, a wheelchair-accessible ramp leading to the courtyard, and a sports field with an open, overlapping boundary. This design creates a welcoming transition zone, allowing participants to gradually become part of the game.

The project prioritized sustainability, minimizing ground alterations while preserving 80% of the existing trees. Materials were thoughtfully repurposed, including paving stones, nearly all granite curbs, and select asphalt.

A close interdisciplinary collaboration led to innovative solutions, such as placing air intakes in the façade and integrating exhaust outlets into the schoolyard. These elements serve a dual function, acting as an information board, lighting feature, and seating area.
