Skakkeringen Public Square / locallll + PIR2

Skakkeringen is part of Vestland County's pilot program to create innovative activity facilities that transform the role of public schools in rural municipalities. LOCAL and PIR2 won the project to develop and build a 2000 m2 activity park adjacent to the Skakke Cultural Center in Etne, Norway. The project is part of an innovative concept of open schoolyards that are "accessible by the general public without fences and open at all times, without schedule, to be used day and night".

For those who have moved from the countryside to the city, that image is not only a nostalgic memory but also a present-day need, just like the homeowner of this house, a full-time mother who always takes care of her family.
