OAK HOUSE SCHOOL

The Bachillerato Campus of the Oak House school was completed in 2015 and ACCOYA® acetylated wood was used to construct the façade of the new campus in Barcelona. Located next to an old villa in the school gardens, the new-build campus was designed to provide function and character to a space used to prepare the students for University.

Designed by the architects at Trasbordo, the façade of the building was created using a variety of ACCOYA® wooden slats to provide natural ventilation and reduce the glare of the sunlight that enters the classrooms. The ACCOYA® slats also absorb the exterior noise and reduce the sound that enters the rooms. ACCOYA® wood was also used to clad the upper level of the School.

The new building houses a conference room with state-of-the-art technology, a library, separate classrooms and recreation spaces. The external façade of ACCOYA® acts as a path around the building, guiding the student between the classrooms and the French garden.
