Text description provided by the architects. The Frič Brothers Elementary School is a joint municipal elementary school for 540 students, established on a green, sloping meadow adjacent to a football field in Ondřejov, Czech Republic. Developed by the municipalities of Ondřejov, Zvánovice, and Kaliště, the project was co-funded and is now jointly operated. The aim was to ensure that the new school would integrate harmoniously into the village context of small family houses and gardens. The school is divided into three distinct volumes to avoid a monolithic appearance. The first, for younger pupils, includes general classrooms, art and music rooms, after-school spaces, and a library. The second, for the upper grades, similarly features standard classrooms, six specialized classrooms, a cafeteria with a food service area, and administrative offices. The third section, partly embedded into the slope, contains the sports hall. All three main buildings are connected by a lower structure that provides space for the entrance foyer, a vestibule, and a covered outdoor area used for breaks and informal teaching during warmer months.
