The junior high school “Graf Soden Realschule” in Friedrichshafen required an extension in 2010. The existing building volume, constructed in the 1970s, a building with a longitudinal orientation and constructed on a basic module of 2,50 m, was extended taking over the building height, the urban context, and the construction module. With an angled floor plan, the extension adopts the existing volume and allows for an atrium and a single-storey refectory to be placed within.
