Tough on the outside – colorful inside

The new Pestalozzi School is located outside of Stuttgart, in the small city of Leonberg, Germany. While Leonberg is known for being the home of Architect Frei Otto, the new school is a contrast to the lightweight structures Otto is famous for. Built partially of massive concrete walls, the school overlooks a valley and is bordered by ordinary, single-family housing units, a community center from the sixties and the brick Pestalozzi School, constructed around 1900.
