Adaptive reuse of a school building

An old secondary school closed a few years ago. After a presentation by Urban Village, the city council of Ede wanted to explore the possibility of housing refugee families in the empty classrooms.

Each classroom houses a family with children in a two-room apartment with its own kitchen and bathroom. The aim was to make the conversion cheap and flexible, but at the same time provide a home for people who had to flee their own homes because of war.
