The school is made up of seven “islands”, connected via a large auditorium area that is intended to mirror the Faroe Islands and the surrounding sea. While the façade creates a clear sense of unity, the organic interior spaces establish a welcoming atmosphere for learning. Large-scale glass façades allow plenty of daylight in and create an open, transparent environment that encourages interaction and community.
The building stands out against the landscape and offers a stunning view from the accessible roof. A walkway with terraces leads up to the highest point of the school. This open design invites pupils and residents alike to explore new perspectives.
