haute vallee school
The Haute Vallée School
in Jersey was designed to maximise efficiency
in massing, orientation, structure and envelope
in order to maintain high levels of environmental
quality. The scheme uses natural cross ventilation
extensively.
The States of Jersey commissioned
this new comprehensive school following an open
design competition.
The design has sought to bring
together a number of known, low–energy technologies
into a simple and yet innovative configuration.
All building components are robust, standard products
and are relatively low-tech.
The scheme combines the benefits
of wind towers, thermal mass, passive solar heating,
external shading and good day lighting, all within
a well balanced ecological landscape.
