This is a small school, for 4 to 8 children between the age of 6-11, with alternative methods of learning the mandatory subjects in primary school, tailored to the visually impaired, as well as learning braille.

The school will prepare them for whats meeting them in Venice, which they can only access with every other sense than sight and focuses on how to orient in the world and make the children ready to face social and practical challenges in the most confident way possible.

Since students with low vision are sensitive to direct sunlight, the classroom has indirect, filtered light from a facade made entirely of glass blocks.

Glassmaking has been dominant in Venice since the 10th century, when Venice was the main glass producer in the West. The history of Murano glassmaking runs through many generations where local Murano glassmakers have been exploring and perfecting their craft, also constructive glass like glass bricks.

Lit spaces is very important for the visually impaired, the facade therefore provides the necessary amount of light, without confusing transparency.

Seeing the facade from the outside, you will only get a glimpse of what is going on inside the school.
