Fågelsången is a new primary school in Salem, south of Stockholm, built as two organic, round buildings in the middle of a green and car-free area. The buildings are certified SILVER according to Miljöbyggnad 3.0, and their compact shapes have played a central role in achieving high energy standards. Swisspearl’s Terra Amber 754 façade panel has been chosen for the school’s sports hall, whose warm, reddish-brown tone gives the building a lively and characterful expression – in marked contrast to the olive-green façade of the main building.
For Fågelsången School, the facade board Terra Amber 754 was chosen – a fibre cement board with a warm, reddish-brown surface that creates depth and harmony in interaction with the surroundings. Swisspearl Terra is available in six shades – from light to dark brown – and adds warmth and character to the building without compromising on strength and durability.
The facade is an important part of the building's construction. In addition to protecting the building from wind and weather, it also plays an essential role in the building's character, identity and aesthetic expression.
