The Kopernikus school is located in a small town in south Chile, next to the beatifull Llanquihue lake, Frutillar. Following the principles of the school of teaching respect, innovation and linkage to the surroundings is that this “simple saddle” was designed in conversation with the fully nature of the region.

A project that ratify the beautifull combination of structural membranes and wood.
