Year
2023
Status
Built

Located in Chicoutimi, Saguenay, l’école de l’Étincelle is a shining example of architecture firmly rooted in its context. The design reimagines schools, offering a child-friendly scale by dividing it into small houses around a central courtyard. This creates a familiar, comforting atmosphere, fostering student comfort and love for learning, just like at home. The school's silhouette blends with the residential landscape and reflects Saguenay's northern nature. It is made entirely of locally sourced wood.
