Frič Brothers小学丨捷克丨ATELIER 6

Frič Brothers小学是一所市政联合小学，服务于540名学生，选址于捷克共和国Ondřejov村一片毗邻足球场的绿色坡地上。该项目由Ondřejov、Zvánovice和Kaliště三个村镇共同开发、联合出资并共同运营。项目的核心目标是在村庄中营造一个与周边小型住宅与花园环境和谐共存的新校园。为避免形成单一巨大的体量，整座校园建筑被划分为三个不同的体块：第一部分用于低年级学生，设有常规教室、美术与音乐教室、课后活动空间和图书馆；第二部分为高年级学生使用，配备常规教室、六间专业教室、自助餐厅、配餐区和行政办公空间；第三部分为嵌入坡地的体育馆。三个主建筑体块通过一个低矮的连接结构相连，该结构内设有入口大厅、前厅以及一个带顶户外空间，可用于课间活动或温暖季节的非正式教学。

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.

在户外活动方面，学校使用毗邻的TJ Sokol Ondřejov体育中心。校园所在地原为一片牧草地，仅有一条狭窄、由灌木围绕的小径。经过彻底改造后，场地配备了完整的通行道路、“即停即走”临时停车区、公交车站以及为学校和周边体育设施共用的停车场。主入口前设有一个宽敞的前广场，铺设花岗岩石材，中心围绕一棵菩提树布置环形长椅，形成温暖的迎宾空间。校舍外立面采用砖片包裹，以细腻手法弱化建筑体量感。体育馆及相邻的带顶户外空间则采用暖灰白色涂料饰面。建筑的一大特色是门窗与围栏上点缀的绿色元素，与裸露砖材一道，呼应Ondřejov天文台的建筑美学。

For outdoor activities, the school utilizes the adjacent TJ Sokol Ondřejov sports complex. The site itself underwent a complete transformation—from a grazing meadow with a narrow, shrub-lined path to a fully equipped access road with Kiss & Ride parking, a bus stop, and a shared parking lot serving both the school and adjacent sports facilities. A generously scaled forecourt in front of the main entrance is paved with granite stone and centered around a linden tree encircled by a round bench. The school façades are clad with brick slips, subtly breaking down the scale of the buildings. The sports hall and the adjoining covered outdoor space are finished in a warm white-gray façade render. A distinctive feature is the use of green accents on the windows and fencing, which—like the exposed brickwork—reference the aesthetic of the Ondřejov Observatory.

室内设计注重空间清晰与自然采光。一层入口处设有专属更衣区，高楼层走廊则分布储物柜。由于建筑中部设置了交通走廊，为引入自然光与新风，屋顶开设朝北的天窗，不仅提供采光和被动通风，也在南坡设置光伏板，集成了多重功能。整栋建筑按被动房标准建造，能源效率极高。地源热泵系统由位于建筑后方、深达140米的20口钻孔供能。机械通风系统配备热能回收装置，同时全楼设有可开启窗户，保障新风通畅。

Interior planning emphasized clarity and daylight. On the entrance level, dedicated changing rooms were incorporated, while lockers are placed throughout the corridors on upper floors. One key challenge was the central corridors, positioned within the core of the building. To bring in light and air, north-facing skylights were introduced. These serve multiple functions: daylighting, passive ventilation, and—on their south-facing slopes—a platform for photovoltaic panels. The building is constructed to passive house standards, making it highly energy efficient. Ground-source heat pumps draw energy from twenty boreholes, each 140 meters deep, located behind the building. Ventilation is handled by mechanical systems with heat recovery, but operable windows remain available throughout to provide fresh air on demand.

建筑设计团队希望整所学校本身就像一本“教科书”。因此，走廊中的通风管道、供暖系统、水管、排水管、电缆线路全部裸露呈现，让学生可视化理解建筑的运行机制。这些系统构成了建筑的“静脉、动脉、气道与肠道”，通过透明化设计构建学习体验。建筑中的承重混凝土结构也在交通空间中局部裸露呈现。声学舒适性也是设计重点之一。除了教室外，走廊与食堂也进行了声学处理。悬挂的圆形吸音板从两面吸收噪声，其视觉形式亦呼应星空意象。餐厅内则采用木饰墙面，提升声学效果并增添空间温度。

The architects wanted the school to function, in a way, like a textbook. Therefore, the ventilation ducts, heating, water pipes, sewage lines, and electrical conduits are left exposed in corridors, making the building’s internal workings visible and understandable to students. These elements, acting as the “veins, arteries, airways, and intestines” of the building, create an educational experience through transparency. In circulation areas, the exposed reinforced concrete structure is also left visible. Acoustic comfort was a key priority. Beyond classrooms, acoustic treatment was applied in corridors and the cafeteria. Suspended circular panels absorb sound from both sides and visually reference the night sky. In the dining area, wooden wall cladding improves acoustics and adds warmth.

学校的视觉识别系统由HMS Design（Filip Heyduk主导）设计，延续建筑叙事语言。起初任务仅为设计入口标识，但设计团队最终提出了一套完整的导视系统。Frič兄弟诞生时对应的星座成为校徽，所有图标设计亦遵循“星座”逻辑展开。色彩与图案丰富了校园内部空间。在艺术家Pavla Gregorová Šípová的合作下，地面设计寓意星空与人与人之间的沟通。在餐厅和课后活动空间，地面点缀漫画风格的“对话气泡”；入口大厅则饰有一颗放射状星形图案，其光芒延展至走廊与教室。不同年级与功能空间地面色彩有节制地变化：年幼学生空间色彩明快，年长学生与教职区域则趋于柔和。

The building’s visual identity, developed by HMS Design under Filip Heyduk, extends the architectural narrative. Originally requested only to design a sign for the entrance, the graphic studio created a comprehensive signage and wayfinding system. The constellation under which the Frič brothers were born became the school’s logo, and the constellation principle informed the design of all pictograms. Color and pattern enrich the interiors. In collaboration with artist Pavla Gregorová Šípová, the floors were designed to evoke starry skies and ideas of communication—both spatial and human. In social spaces like the canteen and school club, comic-style speech bubbles decorate the floors, while the entrance foyer features a stylized star whose rays extend into the corridors and classrooms. Classroom floors use brighter colors for younger pupils and more muted palettes for older students and staff areas.

通过在室内设计竞赛中获胜，建筑师得以主导家具配置，确保材质与色彩的一致性。大多数家具为白色或木色，以呼应色彩丰富的地面铺装，局部通过座椅、收纳单元与学生空间增添色彩。在实验室，整体以白色为主，以营造整洁明晰的氛围。体育馆中，木结构桁架、吸音墙板与裸露混凝土结合暖灰色多功能运动地面，塑造出简洁有力的空间气质。Ondřejov项目印证了与艺术家和图形设计师跨学科合作的巨大价值，在为下一代打造的校园空间中，带来了全新的视角与灵感。

Winning the competition for the school’s interior design allowed the architects to ensure material and color continuity. Furniture is mostly white or wood-toned to complement the colorful floors, with color accents appearing in seating, storage units, and student spaces. In contrast, laboratories were designed to remain predominantly white. In the sports hall, wooden trusses, acoustic wall panels, and exposed concrete are paired with a warm grey floor marked for multiple sports. The Ondřejov project confirmed the value of interdisciplinary collaboration with artists and graphic designers, bringing fresh perspectives to a school environment designed for future generations.
