Jaume I. Ontinyent High School by Ramon Esteve

Starting from a very defined conditions, such as the terrain, the irregular geometry of the site and the complexity of the program, projected five-volume set of interrelated, which house the entire program, defining a space of their own.

The volumes are white, precast concrete, and are placed alternately along the axis that marks the main building so as to create a zone bounded by the center’s own architecture and vegetation. So harmoniously in the plot have sports areas, play area, garden, vegetation zones, parking and the area reserved for the extension.

The main building acts as a hub that directs the whole, housing areas and articulating the different volumes across porches and glass connections. The main building and the building of ESO is conceived as a compact mass drilled into vertical colored patios that are a source of illumination and relief. These yards can be located and have a reference in this volume a very long line while bringing dynamism in the interior journey and enrich the spaces.

The other volumes that make up the center include a gymnasium and workshops, present a typology of industrial warehouse spaces of large spans and high altitude, which are designed as compact and blind masses that air and light through large rips practiced in cover. Establishing a floor layout where the pieces come together resulting in a homogeneous in its design and architectural treatment.
